THE ADVANCES

Section 2.1  The Advances.

(a)   During the Reinvestment Period, the Borrower may, at its option, request the Lenders to make advances of funds (each, an “Advance”) under this Agreement pursuant to a Funding Notice.

(b)   Following the receipt of a Funding Notice during the Reinvestment Period and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Lenders shall fund such Advance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall make any Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance and the addition to the Collateral of the Eligible Loans to be acquired by the Borrower with the proceeds of such Advance, (i) in the sole discretion, in consultation with the Borrower, of any such Lender, a Default or Event of Default would or could reasonably be expected to result therefrom or (ii) a Borrowing Base Deficiency would occur.

(c)   The Borrower may, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, add additional Persons who satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 12.16 as Lenders and increase the Commitments hereunder; provided that the Commitment of any Lender may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Xxxxxx and the Administrative Agent. Each additional Lender shall become a party hereto by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Servicer and the Borrower a Joinder Supplement.

Section 2.2  Procedures for Advances by the Lenders.

Each Funding Notice shall be irrevocable; provided, however, that (x) during any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any Funding Notice promptly upon receiving notice of the commencement of such Benchmark Unavailability Period. If any Funding Notice is received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. on any day (or on a day that is not a Business Day), such Funding Notice shall be deemed to be received by the Administrative Agent at 9:00 a.m. on the next Business Day and (y) the Borrower may revoke any Funding Notice by providing notice at least two Business Days prior to the proposed Funding Date.

(c)   On the proposed Funding Date, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(a) and upon satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, each Lender shall make available to the Borrower in same day funds, by wire transfer to the account designated by the Borrower in the Funding Notice given pursuant to this Section 2.2, an amount equal to such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of the least of (i) the amount requested by the Borrower for such Advance, (ii) the aggregate unused Commitments then in effect and (iii) the maximum amount that, after taking into account the proposed use of the proceeds of such Advance, could be advanced to the Borrower hereunder without causing a Borrowing Base Deficiency.

In connection with any such reduction of Advances Outstanding, the Borrower shall deliver (1) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender of such Advances, a Repayment Notice and (2) funds to the Collateral Agent for payment to the Lenders of such Advances sufficient to repay such Advances Outstanding, accrued Interest thereon which may include instructions to the Collateral Agent to use funds from the Principal Collection Account and/or funds otherwise provided by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent with respect thereto; provided that, the Advances Outstanding will not be reduced unless sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all such amounts referred to in this sentence in full.

Upon the receipt of Collections in the General Collection Account during any Accrual Period, the Servicer shall identify Principal Collections and Interest Collections no later than the Measurement Date related to the Payment Date immediately following such Accrual Period and direct the Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary to transfer the same to the Principal Collection Account, the Interest Collection Account, the Canadian Dollar Account, the Euro Account or the GBP Account, respectively. All Collections in (i) Canadian Dollars shall be deposited into the Canadian Dollar Account, (ii) Euros shall be deposited into the Euro Account and (iii) GBP shall be deposited into the GBP Account. For purposes of Section 2.7, any Principal Collections and Interest Collections shall be applied on any Payment Date (i) first, to make payments in the applicable Available Currency and (ii) second, to make payments in any other Available Currency (pro rata based on available amounts from each other Available Currency), as converted by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Servicer using the Applicable Exchange Rate; provided, that such payments shall be subject to availability of such funds pursuant to Section 2.7. The Servicer shall instruct the Collateral Agent on the Determination Date immediately preceding each Payment Date, to convert amounts on deposit in any Available Currency other than Dollars into Dollars to the extent necessary to make payments pursuant to Section 2.7 (as determined by the Servicer using the Applicable Exchange Rate). Any Principal Collections may be converted by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Servicer into another Available Currency on any Business Day (other than a Payment Date) using the Applicable Exchange Rate so long as no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists either prior to or after

-65-

giving effect to such conversion. The Servicer shall provide no less than one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent of any such conversion. The Servicer shall further include a statement as to the amount of Principal Collections and Interest Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Account and the Interest Collection Account on each Reporting Date in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.8(d).

(b)   Excluded Amounts. With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Servicer may direct the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary to withdraw from the General Collection Account and pay to the Person entitled thereto any amounts credited thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Servicer has, prior to such withdrawal and consent, delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Borrower and each Lender a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Lender.

(c)   Initial Deposits. On the initial Funding Date with respect to any Loan, the Servicer will deposit or cause to be deposited into the General Collection Account, the Canadian Dollar Account, the Euro Account or the GBP Account, as applicable, all Collections received in respect of such Loan on such initial Funding Date. The Borrower shall confirm to the Administrative Agent in writing (it being understood that delivery of a copy of any applicable administrative details form shall satisfy this requirement) when it has provided each payment instruction to deliver cash to the applicable Account.

(d)   Investment of Funds. All uninvested amounts on deposit in the General Collection Account, the Canadian Dollar Account, the Euro Account and the GBP Account shall be invested at the direction of the Servicer in Permitted Investments. All earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) thereon shall be retained or deposited into the Principal Collection Account, the Canadian Dollar Account, the Euro Account or the GBP Account, as applicable, in each case as Principal Collections, and shall be applied on each Payment Date pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.7 or Section 2.8 (as applicable).

(e)   Unfunded Exposure Account. The Borrower may, at any time fund any contributions received from the Equityholder and transfer Principal Collections into the Unfunded Exposure Account, and the Borrower shall notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any amounts to be designated as Unfunded Exposure Collections in the Canadian Dollar Account, the Euro Account and the GBP Account. On the last day of the Reinvestment Period, the Borrower shall fund an amount equal to the Unfunded Exposure Amount into the Unfunded Exposure Account, and the Borrower shall notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any amounts to be designated as Unfunded Exposure Collections in the Canadian Dollar Account, the Euro Account and the GBP Account. All funding requests associated with the Unfunded Exposure Amount after the Reinvestment Period End Date shall be made from the Unfunded Exposure Account or from Unfunded Exposure Collections. All uninvested amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account shall be invested at the direction of the Servicer in Permitted Investments.

Section 2.10   Payments, Computations, etc.

(a)   Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid or

-66-

deposited by the Borrower hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 3:00 p.m. on the day when due in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds and any amount not received before such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder at 2.00% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand; provided that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law; provided, further that no such interest shall be payable by the Borrower if such failure to pay or deposit amounts is the result of an administrative error or omission of the Collateral Agent. Such interest shall be for the account of the applicable Secured Party. All computations of interest and other fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days (other than calculations with respect to (x) Daily Simple XXXXX, which shall be based on a year consisting of 365 days or (y) the Base Rate, which shall be based on a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days elapsed.

(b)   Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be deemed due on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of Interest or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be. For avoidance of doubt, to the extent that Available Funds are insufficient on any Payment Date to satisfy the full amount of any Increased Costs pursuant to Section 2.12, such unpaid amounts shall remain due and owing and shall accrue interest as provided in Section 2.10(a) until repaid in full.

(c)   If any Advance requested by the Borrower is not effectuated as a result of the Servicer’s or the Borrower’s actions or failure to fulfill any condition under Section 3.2 (other than any condition that is waived by the Administrative Agent) (which, in the case of the Servicer, is solely within the control of the Servicer) as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, whichever of the Servicer or the Borrower is at fault, such Person shall indemnify the applicable Lender against any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by the applicable Lender (other than any such loss, cost or expense solely due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to fund such Advance on the part of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or an Affiliate thereof), including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the applicable Lender to fund or maintain such Advance upon receipt by the Borrower of documentation setting forth such costs.

Section 2.11   Fees.

The Borrower shall pay to Cadwalader, Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP as counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, within five (5) Business Days following an invoice therefor, its reasonable invoiced fees and out-of-pocket expenses through the Closing Date.

Section 2.12   Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.

(a) If either (i) the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any Applicable Law after the date hereof or (ii) the compliance by an Affected Party with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not

-67-

having the force of law), shall (A) subject any Affected Party to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, (B) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve requirement, if any, included in the determination of Interest), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the amount of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party or (C) impose any other condition affecting any Affected Party’s rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, the result of which is to increase the cost to any Affected Party or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document, then on the Payment Date following demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered.

(b)   If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or agency (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation, compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, but excluding Taxes, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, on the Payment Date following demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, if the issuance of any amendment or supplement to Interpretation No. 46 or to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or any other change in accounting standards or the issuance of any other pronouncement, release or interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the assets and liabilities of the Seller, the Borrower or any Affected Party with the assets and liabilities of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or shall otherwise impose any loss, cost, expense, reduction of return on capital or other loss, such event shall constitute a circumstance on which such Affected Party may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 2.12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 6.7, the provisions of this Section 2.12(b) shall not apply to the consolidation of the Borrower for accounting purposes as required by GAAP with the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof, whether or not an Affected Party.

(c)   If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12, any Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then on the next Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.7 or 2.8, as applicable, occurring

-68-

at least five (5) Business Days after the request for compensation, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts payable or paid by it.

(d)   In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.12, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.12 shall submit to the Borrower and the Servicer a written description as to such additional or increased cost or reduction, which written description shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, that no Lender shall be requested to disclose confidential or price-sensitive information or any other information, to the extent prohibited by law.

(e)   If a Disruption Event with respect to any Lender has occurred with respect to any then-current Benchmark, such Lender shall in turn so notify the Borrower, whereupon all Advances Outstanding made by the affected Lender in the applicable Available Currency will accrue Interest at the Base Rate from and including the date such of Disruption Event to, but excluding, the earlier of (x) such time as the conditions leading to such Disruption Event no longer exists and (y) the Benchmark Replacement Date for such Benchmark.

(f)   Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand or receive such compensation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Affected Party pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any amounts incurred more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies the Borrower of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine (9) month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(g)   Each Lender agrees that it will take such commercially reasonable actions as the Borrower may reasonably request that will avoid the need to pay, or reduce the amount of, any increased amounts referred to in this Section 2.12 or Section 2.13; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to take any actions that would, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender, subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. In no event will Borrower be responsible for increased amounts referred to in this Section 2.12 relating to any other entities to which Lenders provide financing.

Section 2.13   Taxes.

(a)   Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and

-69-

withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.13) the applicable Affected Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

(c)   The Borrower shall indemnify each Affected Party, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.13) payable or paid by such Affected Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability and the calculation thereof delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)   Without limiting the generality of Section 11.5, each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.16(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.13(d).

(e)   As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f)   (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding

-70-

or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.13(f)(ii)(1), Section 2.13(f)(ii)(2), and Section 2.13(f)(ii)(4) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

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

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

b.    executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

c.     in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.13-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent

-71-

shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

d.    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner of the income, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.13-2 or Exhibit 2.13-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification or documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.13-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(4)   if a payment made to a Lender under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Xxxxxx has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (4), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify

-72-

the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)   If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.13 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.13 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.13(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.13(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.13(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)   Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

Section 2.14  Reinvestments; Discretionary Sales, Substitutions and Optional Sales of Loans.

(a)   Reinvestments. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth as certified in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, prior to the Facility Maturity Date, each Loan Party may withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Account for the following purposes:

  (ii)   to make payments in respect of the Advances Outstanding at such time in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 2.3(b); or

-73-

Upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2.14(a) (as certified by the applicable Loan Party to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent), the Collateral Agent will release funds from the Principal Collection Account to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.14(a) in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the amount requested by such Loan Party and (B) the amount on deposit in the Principal Collection Account on such day.

(c)   Discretionary Sales. Subject to Sections 2.14(e) and (f), upon not less than one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian and the Lenders), each Loan Party shall be permitted to sell Loans (each, a “Discretionary Sale”) so long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, immediately after giving effect to such Discretionary Sale, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such Discretionary Sale, no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists; provided that, in the event a Borrowing Base Deficiency shall have existed immediately prior to giving effect to such Discretionary Sale, such Loan Party may, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, effect a Discretionary Sale so long as, immediately after giving effect to such Discretionary Sale and any other sale or transfer substantially contemporaneous therewith, such Borrowing Base Deficiency is reduced or cured.

-74-

  (ii)   the Borrower shall deliver a list of all Loans to be sold or substituted to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodioan and the Collateral Agent;

  (iii)   except in connection with an Optional Sale, as certified in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, no selection procedures intended to be adverse to the interests of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders were utilized by any Loan Party or the Servicer, as applicable, in the selection of the Loans to be sold or substituted;

  (iv)   the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent of any amount to be deposited into the Collection Account in connection with any sale or substitution;

(f)   Limitations on Sales, Substitutions and Repurchases.

(h)   Sales for Cash of Loans. All sales of Loans or any portion thereof pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be for Cash on a non-recourse basis, which shall be deemed Principal Collections for all purposes hereunder.

Section 2.15  Assignment of the Sale Agreements.

Each Loan Party hereby assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all of such Loan Party’s right, title and interest in and to, but none of its obligations under, the applicable Sale Agreement under which it is a purchaser and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each such Loan Party hereby assigns to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties its right to indemnification under the applicable Sale Agreement under which it is a purchaser. Each such Loan Party confirms that the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right to enforce such Loan Party’s rights and remedies under the applicable Sale Agreement under which it is a purchaser and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith for the benefit of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

Section 2.16  Capital Contributions.

Any direct or indirect owner of the Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, make a capital contribution in cash, Loans or securities to the Borrower at any time and for any purpose. All cash contributed to the Borrower shall be treated as Principal Collections, except to the extent that the Servicer specifies to the Collateral Agent that such cash shall constitute Interest Collections or Unfunded Exposure Collections and shall be deposited into the Collection Account, Canadian Dollar Account, Euro Account or GBP Account in accordance with Section 2.9 as designated by the Servicer.

Section 2.17  Defaulting Lenders.

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

  (i)   such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 12.1;

  (ii)   any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or

-77-

mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists (except to the extent caused by such Defaulting Lender, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion)), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund future Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the other Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists (except to the extent caused by such Defaulting Lender, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto; and

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

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

-78-

having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.18  Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)   Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, the Borrower may request such Lender provide an estimate of the costs and expenses that would be incurred by such Lender in connection with designating a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or assigning its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, in each case, which designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon receipt of such estimate, the Borrower may approve the proposed designation or assignment, in which case the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to effect the same. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such approved designation or assignment.

(b)   Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender unaffiliated with the Administrative Agent requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, and, in either case, such Lender declines to effect a designation or assignment pursuant to Section 2.18(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender hereunder, or if any Lender does not consent to any amendment or modification (including in the form of a consent or waiver) to the definitions described in Section 12.1(g) which is approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.16), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to an assignee permitted pursuant to Section 12.16 that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

  (i)   such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

  (ii)   in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.13, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

  (iii)   such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the

-79-

Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.19  Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(a)   Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark then-applicable to an Available Currency, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.19(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b)   Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(c)   Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.19, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.19.

(d)   Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for an Advance to be made during any Benchmark Unavailability Period. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to any Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for any then-current Benchmark is not available, the Base Rate shall be used instead of such Benchmark to calculate Interest.

The Servicer shall have the power to execute and deliver all necessary and appropriate documents and instruments on behalf of each Loan Party in connection with performing its obligations set forth herein. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this Agreement, the Servicer will perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the Servicer Standard.

Section 6.2  Duties of the Servicer.

(a)   Duties. Subject to the provisions concerning its general duties and obligations as set forth in Section 6.1 and the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer agrees to manage the investment and reinvestment of the Collateral and shall perform on behalf of each Loan Party all duties and functions assigned to such Loan Party in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the duties that have been expressly delegated to the Servicer in this Agreement; it being understood that the Servicer shall have no obligation hereunder to perform any duties other than as specified herein and in the other Transaction Documents. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably (except as provided below) appoints the Servicer as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead in connection with the performance of its duties provided for in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following powers: (A) to give or cause to be given any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (B) to make or cause to be made all necessary transfers of the Loans, Equity Securities and Permitted Investments in connection with any acquisition, sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (C) to execute (under hand, under seal or as a deed) and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of any Loan Party all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments, agreements and other instruments in connection with any such acquisition, sale or other disposition and (D) to execute (under hand, under seal or as a deed) and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of such Loan Party any consents, votes, proxies, waivers, notices, amendments, modifications, agreements, instruments, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement and relating to any Loan, Equity Security or Permitted Investment. Each Loan Party hereby ratifies and confirms all that such

-115-

attorney-in-fact (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto and authorizes such attorney-in-fact to exercise full discretion and act for such Loan Party in the same manner and with the same force and effect as the managers or officers of such Loan Party might or could do in respect of the performance of such services, as well as in respect of all other things the Servicer deems necessary or incidental to the furtherance or conduct of the Servicer’s services under this Agreement, subject in each case to the applicable terms of this Agreement.

-119-

It is acknowledged and agreed that each Loan Party possesses only such rights with respect to the enforcement of rights and remedies with respect to the Loans and the Underlying Assets and under the Underlying Instruments as have been transferred to such Loan Party with respect to the related Loan, and therefore, for all purposes under this Agreement, the Servicer shall perform its administrative and management duties hereunder only to the extent that, as a lender under the related Underlying Instruments, such Loan Party has the right to do so.

(b)   In performing its duties hereunder and when exercising its discretion and judgment in connection with any transactions involving the Loans, Equity Securities or Permitted Investments, the Servicer shall carry out any reasonable written directions of each Loan Party for the purpose of preventing a breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that such directions are not inconsistent with any provision of this Agreement by which the Servicer is bound or Applicable Law.

(c)   In providing services hereunder, the Servicer may, without the consent of any party, employ third parties, including, without limitation, its Affiliates, to render advice (including investment advice), to provide services to arrange for trade execution and otherwise provide assistance to the Loan Parties and to perform any of its duties hereunder; provided that such delegation of any of its duties hereunder or performance of services by any other Person shall not relieve the Servicer of any of its duties or liabilities hereunder.

(d)   The Servicer assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to perform the Servicer’s duties called for hereunder and under the terms of this Agreement applicable to the Servicer, in good faith and, subject to the Servicer Standard, shall not be responsible for any action of the Loan Parties or the Collateral Agent in following or declining to follow any advice, recommendation or direction of the Servicer.

(e)   In performing its duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the Servicer shall perform its obligations subject to the terms hereof and thereof in accordance with standards and procedures that are not less stringent than (i) the customary and usual standards and procedures that would be exercised by a prudent institutional servicer in connection with the servicing and administration of similar Obligors and similar assets under similar circumstances, and (ii) the customary standards and procedures exercised by the Servicer as of the date of determination in connection with the servicing and administration of similar Loans under similar circumstances (the “Servicer Standard”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties of their rights hereunder (including, but not limited to, the delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice), shall not release the Servicer, the Seller or the Loan Parties from any of their duties or responsibilities with respect to the Collateral, except that the Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate upon its removal under this Agreement. The Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Collateral, other than as provided for herein or in any other Transaction Document, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Servicer hereunder.

(i)   Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer and any of its Affiliates may acquire or sell obligations or securities, for their own account or for the accounts of their clients, without either requiring or precluding the acquisition or sale of such obligations or securities for the account of such Loan Party. Such investments may be the same or different from those made on behalf of the Loan Parties. In the event that, in light of market conditions and investment objectives, the Servicer determines that it would be advisable to acquire the same Loan both for a Loan Party and either the proprietary account of the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer or another client of the Servicer, the Servicer will allocate the executions among the accounts in a fair and equitable manner, over time, and in accordance with the Internal Policies of the Servicer.

(j)   Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and consents to various potential and actual conflicts of interest that may exist with respect to the Servicer as notified by the Servicer to such Loan Party; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as altering the express duties of the Servicer as set forth in this Agreement.

(k)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the services performed by the Servicer shall result in or be construed as resulting in an obligation to perform any of the following: (i) the Servicer acting as an intermediary in securities for the Loan Parties; or (ii) the Servicer providing investment banking services to the Loan Parties.

any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral and, after the delinquency of any Collateral and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as the Seller could have done if it had continued to own such Collateral. Each of the Loan Parties and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its management and administrative duties hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Servicer to the fullest extent in order to permit the collectability of the Collateral. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make any Secured Party or the Collateral Agent a party to any litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make any Loan Party a party to any litigation (other than any foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall act solely on behalf of the Loan Parties as an independent contractor for the sole purpose of providing the services described herein.

(b)   After the declaration of the Termination Date, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, the Servicer shall take such action as the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Collateral; provided that the Collateral Agent may, in accordance with Section 5.1(m), notify any Obligor with respect to any Collateral of the assignment of such Collateral to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due be made directly to the Collateral Agent or any collection agent, sub-agent or account designated by the Collateral Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent may enforce collection of any such Collateral, and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.

(c)   In dealing with the Servicer and its duly appointed agents, none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall be required to inquire as to the authority of the Servicer or any such agent to bind any Loan Party.

Section 6.4  Collection of Payments; Accounts.

(a)   Collection Efforts. The Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicer Standard to collect or cause to be collected all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Loans included in the Collateral as and when the same become due.

(b)   Taxes and other Amounts. To the extent any Loan Party is required under the Underlying Instruments to perform such duties, the Servicer will collect or cause to be collected all payments with respect to amounts due for Taxes, assessments and insurance premiums relating to each Loan to the extent required to be paid to such Loan Party for such application under the Underlying Instrument, directing all such payments to be paid to the General Collection Account, and direct the Collateral Agent to remit such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or insurer as required by the Underlying Instruments.

(c)   Payments. On or before the applicable Funding Date, the applicable Loan Party or the Servicer, as applicable, shall have instructed all Obligors and paying agents of Agented Loans to make all payments owing to such Loan Party in respect of the Collateral directly

-122-

to the General Collection Account, the Canadian Dollar Account, the Euro Account or the GBP Account, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.9; provided that neither such Loan Party nor the Servicer is required to so instruct any Obligor which is solely a guarantor unless and until the Servicer (on behalf of the applicable Loan Party) directly calls on the related guaranty.

(d)   Accounts. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that each Account shall be deemed to be a Securities Account. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees to cause the Collateral Agent or any other Securities Intermediary that holds any cash or other Financial Asset for any Loan Party in an Account to agree with the parties hereto that (A) the cash and other property (subject to Section 6.4(e) below with respect to any property other than investment property, as defined in Section 9-102(a)(49) of the UCC) is to be treated as a Financial Asset and (B) the jurisdiction governing the Account, all cash and other Financial Assets credited to the Account and the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 8-110(e) of the UCC) shall, in each case, be the State of New York. In no event may any Financial Asset held in any Account be registered in the name of, payable to the order of, or specially Indorsed to, the applicable Loan Party, unless such Financial Asset has also been Indorsed in blank or to the Collateral Agent or other Securities Intermediary that holds such Financial Asset in such Account.

(e)   Underlying Instruments. Notwithstanding any term hereof (or any term of the UCC that might otherwise be construed to be applicable to a “securities intermediary” as defined in the UCC) to the contrary, none of the Collateral Agent nor any Securities Intermediary shall be under any duty or obligation in connection with the acquisition by any Loan Party, or the grant by a Loan Party of a security interest to the Collateral Agent, of any Loan to examine or evaluate the sufficiency of the documents or instruments delivered to it by or on behalf of such Loan Party under the related Underlying Instruments, or otherwise to examine the Underlying Instruments, in order to determine or compel compliance with any applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including without limitation any necessary consents). The Collateral Agent shall hold any Instrument delivered to it evidencing any Loan transferred to the Collateral Agent hereunder as custodial agent for the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 6.5  Realization Upon Defaulted Loans.

The Servicer will use reasonable efforts consistent with the Underlying Instruments to maximize recoveries under a defaulted Loan in accordance with the Servicer Standard, which may include exercising available remedies. Subject to the terms of the Underlying Instruments and the Servicer Standard, the Servicer will comply in all material respects with Applicable Law in exercising such remedies.

Section 6.6  Servicer Compensation.

As compensation for its administrative and management activities hereunder, the Servicer or its designee shall be entitled to receive (but shall be permitted to waive by providing written notice of such waiver to the Collateral Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Payment Date on which such payment is due and payable) the Servicer Fee pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.7 and Section 2.8, as applicable. If and to the extent that there are insufficient funds to pay any Servicer Fee in full on any Payment Date or if any Servicer Fee has

-123-

accrued but is not yet due and payable, the amount due or accrued and unpaid will be deferred and will be payable on such later Payment Date on which funds are available in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.7 and Section 2.8, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer may not defer all or any portion of the Servicer Fee.

Section 6.7  Expense Reimbursement.

The Servicer will be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement, including fees and disbursements of its independent accountants, Taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with payments and reports pursuant to this Agreement, and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement for the account of the Borrower; provided that the Borrower shall reimburse such expenses and the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Servicer (including out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) in connection with its management of the Collateral and compliance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, to the extent of available funds in accordance with Section 2.7 or Section 2.8, as applicable.

Section 6.8  Reports; Information.

(a)   Obligor Financial Statements; Other Reports. The Servicer will deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Collateral Agent, with respect to each Obligor, (i) to the extent received by the Borrower and/or the Servicer pursuant to the related Underlying Instruments, the complete financial reporting package with respect to such Obligor and with respect to each Loan for such Obligor (including any financial statements, management discussion and analysis, executed covenant compliance certificates and related covenant calculations with respect to such Obligor and with respect to each Loan for such Obligor) provided to the Borrower and/or the Servicer quarterly by such Obligor, which delivery shall be made within 10 Business Days after receipt by the Borrower and/or the Servicer as specified in the Underlying Instruments, (ii) the annual budget (along with subsequent changes thereto) with respect to such Obligor and provided to the Borrower and/or the Servicer by such Obligor, which delivery shall be made within 10 Business Days after receipt by the Borrower and/or the Servicer as specified in the related Underlying Instruments and (iii)(x) the portfolio update, if any, prepared by the Servicer with respect to each Obligor on a quarterly basis no later than 20 Business Days after delivery of the information required pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) and (y) all portfolio monitoring and servicing reports, if any, prepared by the Servicer during each calendar quarter with respect to each investment made by the Servicer and/or the Borrower, which delivery of the foregoing reports shall be made no later than 90 days after the end of each calendar quarter and 150 days after the end of each fiscal year. Upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Servicer will provide such other information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request with respect to any Obligor. The Administrative Agent will provide each Lender with a copy of such other documents and information promptly upon receipt thereof.

(b)   Amendments to Loans. The Servicer will deliver to the Administrative Agent (who will provide each Lender with a copy promptly upon receipt thereof) and the Collateral Agent a copy of any Material Modification to the Underlying Instruments of any Loan (along with any internal documents prepared by the Servicer and provided to its investment

The Servicer will submit to the Administrative Agent, each Lender Agent and the Collateral Agent, (i) within 60 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year of the Equityholder, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending in June 2023, consolidated unaudited financial statements of the Equityholder for the most recent fiscal quarter, and (ii) within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ending in 2023, consolidated audited financial statements of the Equityholder audited by a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants, as of the end of such fiscal year; provided, that any filing of financial statements, filings and reports which the Servicer may make to, or file with, the SEC or any successor shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 6.8(e).

(f)   Liquidity Reports. Upon the reasonable written request of the Administrative Agent, the Equityholder shall within a reasonable period of time provide a report to the Administrative Agent setting forth the liquidity position of the Equityholder, in form and substance mutually agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Equityholder.

Section 6.9  Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Servicer will, at the request of the Administrative Agent, provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, within one hundred fifty (150) days following such

-125-

request by the Administrative Agent, a report signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer certifying that (a) a review of the activities of the Servicer, and the Servicer’s performance pursuant to this Agreement, for the fiscal period ending on the last day of such fiscal year has been made under such Person’s supervision and (b) the Servicer has performed or has caused to be performed in all material respects all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year and no Servicer Termination Event has occurred or, if any such Servicer Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, a statement describing the nature thereof and the steps being taken to remedy such Servicer Termination Event.

Section 6.10  The Servicer Not to Resign.

The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon the Servicer’s good faith determination in consultation with legal counsel that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable Law and (ii) there is no reasonable action that the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under Applicable Law. In connection with any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer, the Servicer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a description of the circumstances giving rise to such determination.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Servicer Termination Event, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, by written notice to the Servicer with a copy to the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and each other Lender (such notice, a “Servicer Termination Notice”), may, in its sole discretion, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as “Servicer” under this Agreement. Each Servicer Termination Notice shall designate the date of such termination (the “Servicer Termination Date”) and the replacement Servicer, who shall be selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (which for the avoidance of doubt may be the Administrative Agent); provided that, notwithstanding any other provision set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document, no such replacement Servicer shall have any ability to direct any Loan Party (or the Collateral Agent on behalf of such Loan Party) to purchase any Loan, Permitted Investment or other asset. Until the Servicer Termination Date, the Servicer shall (i) unless otherwise notified by the Administrative Agent, continue to act in such capacity pursuant to Section 6.1 and (ii) as requested by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (A) terminate some or all of its activities as Servicer hereunder by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as necessary or desirable, (B) provide such information as may be requested by the Administrative Agent to facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the Administrative Agent or any agent thereof and (C) take all other actions requested by the Administrative Agent, in each case to facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the Administrative Agent or any agent thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the receipt of the Collateral Termination Notice and prior to the Servicer Termination Date, the Servicer or one or more of its Affiliates shall have the right to purchase all of the Loans, Permitted Investments and other asset owned by the Borrower for a purchase price at least equal to all outstanding Obligations; provided that the Borrower uses such purchase price to pay all outstanding Obligations.

Section 7.2  Duties of Collateral Agent.

(a)   Appointment. Each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent hereby designate and appoint the Collateral Agent to act as its agent and hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly granted to the Collateral Agent by this Agreement. The Collateral Agent hereby accepts such agency appointment to act as Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. By entering into, or performing its duties under, this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to assume any obligations or liabilities of any Loan Party or the Servicer under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to release, terminate, discharge, limit, reduce, diminish, modify, amend or otherwise alter in any respect the duties, obligations or liabilities of any Loan Party or the Servicer under this Agreement.

(b)   Duties. On or before the initial Funding Date, and until its removal pursuant to Section 7.5, the Collateral Agent shall perform, on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, the following duties and obligations:

  (i)   The Collateral Agent shall, promptly upon its actual receipt of a Borrowing Base Certificate from the Servicer on behalf of the Loan Parties, calculate the Borrowing Base and, if the Collateral Agent’s calculation does not correspond with the calculation provided by the Servicer on such Borrowing Base Certificate, deliver such calculation to each of the Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties and Servicer within one (1) day of receipt by the Collateral Agent of such Borrowing Base Certificate. The Collateral Agent shall also make required calculations for each Payment Date Statement as of the day that is four (4) Business Days prior to the applicable Payment Date, and deliver such calculations to the Loan Parties and the Servicer (and, following the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Administrative Agent and the Servicer) for the Servicer’s

In furtherance, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby appoints the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by any Loan Party hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution by the Collateral Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Loans now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. Nothing in this clause shall be deemed to relieve any Loan Party or the Servicer of their respective obligations to protect the interest of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral, including to file financing and continuation statements in respect of the Collateral.

  (iv)   If, in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Collateral Agent may request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by the Administrative Agent. If the Collateral Agent does not receive such instructions within two (2) Business Days after its request therefor, the Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action. The Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with instructions received after such two (2) Business Day period except to the extent it has already taken, or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on the advice of legal counsel and independent accountants obtained in good faith in performing its duties hereunder and shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if it acts in accordance with such advice.

  (v)   The Collateral Agent shall create a collateral database with respect to the Collateral (the “Collateral Database”), and update the Collateral Database daily for

  (viii)   The Collateral Agent shall notify the Loan Parties, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent upon receiving notices, reports or proxies or any other requests relating to corporate actions affecting the Collateral.

  (ix)   In performing its duties, (A) the Collateral Agent shall comply with the standard of care set forth in Section 7.6(c) and express terms of the Transaction Documents and (B) all calculations made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 7.2(b) using information that is not routinely maintained by the Collateral Agent, including EBITDA, Assigned Value and Unrestricted Cash of any Obligor shall be made using such amounts as provided by the Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties or the Servicer to the Collateral Agent.

  (x)   The Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Agent to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Administrative Agent.

  (xi)   Nothing herein shall prevent the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or from rendering services of any kind to any Person.

-129-

law to effect such succession.

Section 7.4  Collateral Agent Compensation.

As compensation for its Collateral Agent activities hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a Collateral Agent Fee pursuant to the provision of Section 2.7(a)(1), Section 2.7(b)(1) or Section 2.8(1), as applicable.

Section 7.5  Collateral Agent Removal.

The Collateral Agent may be removed, with or without cause, by the Administrative Agent (with, if no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is then continuing, the consent of the Borrower) by thirty (30) days’ written notice given in writing to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders (the “Collateral Agent Termination Notice”); provided that notwithstanding its receipt of a Collateral Agent Termination Notice, the Collateral Agent shall continue to act in such capacity until a successor Collateral Agent has been appointed, has agreed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder in full compliance with the requirements of Section 5.5(d), and has received all Underlying Instruments held by the previous Collateral Agent. In the case of a resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, if no successor shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor shall not have been delivered to the Collateral Agent within ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice of resignation or removal, the Collateral Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.

Section 7.6  Limitation on Liability.

The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent receives written or email notice of such matter. Notice or knowledge of any matter by Xxxxx Fargo in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Lender and other publicly available information shall not constitute notice or actual knowledge of the Collateral Agent.

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

Each Loan Party hereby agrees that it shall provide the Collateral Agent with such information as it may

-131-

request including, but not limited to, such Loan Party’s name, physical address, tax identification number and other information that will help the Collateral Agent to identify and verify such Loan Party’s identity such as organizational documents, certificate of good standing, license to do business, or other pertinent identifying information.

The Collateral Agent shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon (a) ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to the Loan Parties, the Servicer, Administrative Agent and each Lender, or (b) the Collateral Agent’s determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable Law and (ii) there is no reasonable action that the Collateral Agent could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under Applicable Law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Collateral Agent shall be evidenced as to clause (i) above by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Administrative Agent. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor Collateral Agent acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Servicer (if no Servicer Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) and the Loan Parties (if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) in their respective sole discretion shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Collateral Agent hereunder, which Collateral Agent satisfies all requirements of Section 5.5(d).

ARTICLE VIII

SECURITY INTEREST

Section 8.1  Grant of Security Interest.

(a)   This Agreement constitutes a security agreement and the Advances effected hereby constitute secured loans by the applicable Lenders to the Borrower under Applicable Law. For such purpose, the Borrower hereby transfers, conveys, assigns and grants as of the Closing Date to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a lien and continuing security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of the obligations under) all Collateral (other than any Collateral which constitutes Margin Stock), whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired by the Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, to secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations of the Borrower arising in connection with this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, including, without limitation, all Obligations. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in any property to the extent that such grant of a security interest is prohibited by any Applicable Law in effect as of the date hereof or requires a consent not obtained of any Governmental Authority pursuant to such Applicable Law. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Borrower for any

-132-

act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If the Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option and at the direction of the Administrative Agent, but without any obligation to do so, may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, shall be payable by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Sections 2.7 and 2.8 and shall constitute Obligations secured hereby.

(b)   The grant of a security interest under this Section 8.1 does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Collateral Agent of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Person in connection with any or all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral, and (c) the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

(c)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Equityholder, the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender hereby agree to treat, and to cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat, each Advance as indebtedness for purposes of United States federal and state income tax or state franchise tax to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and shall file its tax returns or reports, or cause its Affiliates to file such tax returns or reports, in a manner consistent with such treatment.

Section 8.2  Release of Lien on Collateral.

(a)   At the same time as (i) any Loan expires by its terms or is prepaid in full and all amounts in respect thereof have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account or (ii) any Loan has been the subject of a Discretionary Sale, Substitution or Optional Sale pursuant to Section 2.14, has been sold as required under the applicable Sale Agreement or has been sold pursuant to Section 9.2, the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties will, to the extent requested by the Servicer or the Borrower, release its interest in such Collateral. In connection with any release of such Collateral, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, will upon receipt into the General Collection Account of the Proceeds of any such sale, payment in full or prepayment in full of a Loan, at the sole expense of the Borrower, (i) execute and deliver to the Borrower or the Servicer (or its designee) requesting the same, any assignments, bills of sale, termination statements and any other releases and instruments as such Person may reasonably request in order to effect the release and transfer of such Collateral, (ii) deliver (and cause the Collateral Custodian to deliver) any portion of the Collateral to be released from the Lien granted under this Agreement in its possession to or at the direction of the Borrower and (iii) otherwise take such actions as are necessary and appropriate to release the Lien of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties on the applicable portion of the Collateral to be released and delivered to or at the direction of the Borrower such portion of the Collateral to be

-133-

so released; provided that, the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, will make no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such Collateral in connection with such release, sale, transfer and/or assignment. Nothing in this Section shall diminish the Servicer’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.5 with respect to the Proceeds of any such sale.

(b)   On the Collection Date, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, will release the security interest in the Collateral created hereby, which release shall occur simultaneously with receipt in the Collection Account of the payoff amount specified in a payoff letter signed by the Administrative Agent. Upon request of the Borrower to the Collateral Agent and to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent shall promptly provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a computation of all amounts owing to the Collateral Agent as of the anticipated Collection Date and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to the Borrower, with a copy to the Collateral Agent, a computation of all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as of the anticipated Collection Date. In connection with such release of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, will, at the sole expense of the Borrower, (i) execute and deliver to the Borrower or the Servicer (or its designee) requesting the same, any assignments, bills of sale, termination statements and any other releases and instruments as the Borrower may reasonably request in order to effect the release of the Collateral, (ii) deliver (or cause the Collateral Custodian to deliver) any portion of the Collateral to be released from the Lien granted under this Agreement in its possession to or at the direction of the Borrower or the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) and (iii) otherwise take such actions as are necessary and appropriate to release the Lien of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties on the Collateral (including, without limitation, delivering a Termination Notice (as defined in the Securities Account Control Agreement) in respect of the Securities Account Control Agreement); provided that, the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, will make no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such Collateral in connection with such release.

Section 9.2   Remedies.

(a)   Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent and by notice to the Loan Parties, declare (i) the Termination Date to have occurred and all outstanding Obligations to be immediately due and payable in full (without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind all of which are hereby waived by the Loan Parties) or (ii) the Reinvestment Period End Date to have occurred; provided that, in the case of any event involving any Loan Party described in Section 9.1(c), all of the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full (without presentment, demand, notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly, waived by the Loan Parties) and the Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred automatically upon the occurrence of any such event.

(b)   On and after the declaration or occurrence of the Termination Date, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have, with respect to the Collateral granted pursuant to Section 8.1, and in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties under this Agreement or other Applicable Law, all rights and remedies of a secured party upon default provided under the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction and other Applicable Laws, which rights shall be cumulative. Without limiting the

-137-

generality of the foregoing, but subject to Section 9.2(c), the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Loan Parties or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the Collateral Agent’s name or the name of any Secured Party or its nominee or nominees, and/or forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may sell and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash and/or may take such other actions as may be available under Applicable Law. The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, auction or closed tender, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. In addition, each Loan Party and the Servicer hereby agree that they will, at the Borrower’s expense and at the direction of the Collateral Agent, forthwith, (i) assemble all or any part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make the same available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent, whether at the Borrower’s premises or elsewhere, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms, in such lots, to such buyers, and according to such other instructions as the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Loan Party agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, ten (10) days’ notice to such Loan Party of any sale hereunder shall constitute reasonable and proper notification. All cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Loans (after payment of any amounts incurred in connection with such sale) shall be deposited into the General Collection Account, the Canadian Dollar Account, the Euro Account or the GBP Account, as applicable, and to be applied pursuant to Section 2.8. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder. Each Loan Party shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency, except as provided in Section 9.6(b).

(c)   In connection with the sale of the Collateral following a declaration that the Obligations are immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 9.2(a), the Equityholder or any Affiliates thereof (or any entity managed by the Investment Manager or its Affiliates) shall have the right to purchase any or all of the Loans in the Collateral, in each case by paying to the Collateral Agent in immediately available funds, an amount equal to all outstanding Obligations. If the Equityholder or any Affiliates thereof fail to exercise this purchase right within ten (10) days following the declaration that the Obligations are immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 9.2(a), then such contractual rights shall be irrevocably forfeited by the Equityholder and Affiliates thereof (and any entity managed by the Investment Manager or its Affiliates), but nothing herein shall prevent the Equityholder or its Affiliates (and any entity managed by the Investment Manager or its Affiliates) from bidding at any sale of such Collateral.

-138-

Section 9.3  Collateral Agent Shall Enforce Claims.

All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be prosecuted and enforced by the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, in any legal or equitable proceeding, judicial or otherwise, relating thereto in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.8.

Section 9.4  Application of Cash Collected.

Any cash collected by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Obligations pursuant to this Article IX and any cash that may then be held or thereafter received by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Obligations hereunder shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.8, at the date or dates fixed by the Collateral Agent; provided, that (a) subject to clause (b), no such date may be fixed by the Collateral Agent unless the Collateral Agent has given the Borrower no fewer than two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice of such date, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the expected applications of cash on such date and (b) no failure by the Collateral Agent to deliver the notice required pursuant to the foregoing clause (a) will affect the application of funds in the Collection Accounts pursuant to Section 2.8 on the next succeeding Payment Date.

Section 9.5  Rights of Action.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than Section 12.10) or in any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to direct the Collateral Agent to institute any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to any Transaction Document, or for the appointment of a separate receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder. The Collateral Agent shall only institute proceedings and exercise remedies hereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent (which the Collateral Agent shall implement without delay) and, in taking any action as so directed, shall have the right to indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request.

Section 9.6  Unconditional Rights of Lenders to Receive Principal and Interest

(a)   Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, each Lender shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on the Obligations as such principal and interest become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof and, subject to the provisions of Section 9.5, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Lender.

(b)   If collections in respect of the Collateral are insufficient to make payments due in respect of the Obligations, no other assets will be available for payment of the deficiency following realization of the Collateral and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with Sections 2.7 and 2.8, and the obligations of any Loan Party to pay any deficiency shall thereupon be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive.

-139-

Section 9.7  Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Collateral Agent or any Lender has instituted any judicial proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent or to such Lender, then and in every such case the Loan Parties, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Secured Parties shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 9.8  Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Collateral Agent or to the Lenders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing by law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 9.9  Delay or Omission Not Waiver

No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent or of any Lender to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Section 9.9 or by law to the Collateral Agent or to the Lenders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Collateral Agent or by the Lenders, as the case may be.

Section 9.10  Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

Each Loan Party covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force (including filing a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and by the voluntary commencement of a proceeding or the filing of a petition seeking winding up, liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect), which may affect the covenants, the performance of or any remedies under this Agreement; and each Loan Party (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Collateral Agent, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 9.11  Power of Attorney. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for (and subject to the terms and conditions set forth) in this Agreement after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, including without limitation the following powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts

-140-

collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, each Loan Party hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (d) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Agent, each Loan Party shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent or such purchaser all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the power of attorney granted by each Loan Party pursuant to this Section 9.11 supersedes any other power of attorney or similar rights granted by any Loan Party to any other party (including, without limitation, the Servicer) under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement; provided that, the Servicer may continue to exercise its rights under this Agreement until the Servicer has received notice of the Collateral Agent’s exercise of its power of attorney hereunder.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.1  Indemnities by the Loan Parties.

(a) Without limiting any other rights that any such Person may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Loan Parties hereby agree to indemnify the Secured Parties and each of their respective assigns and officers, directors, employees and agents thereof (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as the “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party or any of them arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or having an interest in the Collateral or in respect of any Loan included in the Collateral, excluding, however, any Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud on the part of any Indemnified Party. If any Loan Party has made any indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 10.1 or Section 10.3 and such payment fully indemnified the recipient thereof and the recipient thereafter collects any payments from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts then, the recipient shall repay to such Loan Party an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts. Without limiting the foregoing, the Loan Parties shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts (except to the extent resulting from gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud on the part of such Indemnified Party) relating to or resulting from:

(xiii)   except with respect to funds held in the Collection Account, the commingling of Collections on the Collateral at any time with other funds;

(xiv)   any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or the use of proceeds of Advances or the security interest in the Collateral;

(xv)     any failure by any Loan Party to give reasonably equivalent value to the Seller or to the applicable third party transferor, in consideration for the transfer by the Seller or such third party to any Loan Party of any item of Collateral or any attempt by any Person to void or otherwise avoid any such transfer under any statutory provision or common law or equitable action, including, without limitation, any provision of the Bankruptcy Code;

ARTICLE XI

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 11.1  Appointment.

Each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent and hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents and bailees (including, without limitation, the Collateral Agent) to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties. Each Secured Party further authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or appropriate or that a Secured Party may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Loan Parties hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution by the Administrative Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Collateral now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. The Lenders may direct the Administrative Agent to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. In the event the Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten (10) Business Days of such Person’s receipt of such request, then such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action. To the extent not delivered or required to be delivered to the Lenders by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder or the other Transaction Documents, the Administrative Agent shall furnish to the Lenders, promptly upon the

-145-

Administrative Agent’s receipt of the same, copies of all notices, certificates and other information delivered to the Administrative Agent under the Transaction Documents.

Section 11.2  Standard of Care.

The Administrative Agent shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

Section 11.3  Administrative Agent’s Reliance, etc.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan Party or the Seller), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or representations made by any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of any of the Loan Parties, the Servicer, the Equityholder or the Seller or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any of the Loan Parties, the Servicer, the Equityholder or the Seller; (iv) shall not be responsible for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

Section 11.4  Credit Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

Section 11.5  Indemnification of the Administrative Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not

-146-

reimbursed by any Loan Party or the Servicer), ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder. The payment of amounts under this Section 11.5 shall be on an after-Tax basis. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share promptly upon demand for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees of one outside counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Lenders hereunder and/or thereunder and to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or the Servicer.

Section 11.6  Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time, effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, by giving at least ten (10) days’ written notice thereof to each Lender and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Lenders acting jointly shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Each of the Borrower and each Lender agree that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent shall be either (i) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000, (ii) a Lender or (iii) an Affiliate of such a bank or a Lender. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

Section 11.7  Payments by the Administrative Agent.

Unless specifically allocated to a specific Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares in the applicable Advances Outstanding, or if there are no Advances Outstanding in accordance with their most recent Commitments, on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 3:30 p.m. on such Business Day, in

-147-

which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to each Lender on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such Lender not later than the following Business Day.

Section 11.8  Erroneous Payments.

(a)   Each Lender, each other Secured Party and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or any other Secured Party or any other Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Secured Party or other Person (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds (or any portion thereof) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware that such payment was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 11.8(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) then such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section 11.8 shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(b)   Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.

(c)   In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and, upon written notice from the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf shall cause such Payment Recipient to), promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the

-148-

date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(d)   In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Payment Recipient (i) such Payment Recipient shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, any Lender Affiliated with the Administrative Agent, in a principal amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest, without further consent or approval of any party hereto, without any further payment by the Administrative Agent or its Affiliated Lender as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. As to any Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 12.16. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)   Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrower (except to the extent that the funds used to make such Erroneous Payment were received from the Borrower as repayment of such Obligations) and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received (except to the extent that the funds used to make such Erroneous Payment were received from the Borrower as repayment of such Obligations).

(f)   Each Payment Recipient hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under pursuant to this Section 11.8 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(g)   Each party’s obligations under this Section 11.8 shall survive the

-149-

resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

Section 12.12  Protection of Right, Title and Interest in the Collateral; Further Action Evidencing Advances.

(a)   Each Loan Party shall cause this Agreement, all amendments hereto and/or all financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, and of the Secured Parties to the Collateral to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent, as agent of the Secured Parties, hereunder to all property comprising the Collateral. Each Loan Party shall cooperate fully with the Servicer in connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this Section 12.12(a).

(b)   Each Loan Party agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly authorize, execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interest granted in the Collateral, or to enable the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.

(c)   If any Loan Party or the Servicer fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the Administrative Agent’s or such Secured Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Loan Party as provided in Article X. Each Loan Party irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact to act on its behalf (i) to execute on behalf of such Loan Party as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Secured Parties in the Collateral, including those that describe the Collateral as “all assets,” or words of similar effect, and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

(d)   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party will, not earlier than six (6) months and not later than three (3) months prior to the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the date of filing of the financing statements referred to in Section 3.1(j) or any other financing statement filed pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with any Advance hereunder, unless the Covenant Compliance Period shall have ended, authorize, execute and deliver and file or cause

-156-

to be filed an appropriate continuation statement with respect to each such financing statement.

Section 12.13  Confidentiality.

(a)   Each of the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Parties and the Servicer shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and all information with respect to the other parties, including all information regarding the Collateral, the business and beneficial ownership of the Loan Parties and the Servicer hereto and their respective businesses and its Affiliates and any Obligor obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that each such party and its officers and employees may (i) disclose such information to its external accountants, investigators, auditors, attorneys, investors, rating agencies, potential investors or other agents engaged by such party in connection with any due diligence or comparable activities with respect to the transactions and Loans contemplated herein and the agents of such Persons (“Excepted Persons”); provided that no competitively sensitive information can be distributed to an Excepted Person (other than external accountants, auditors, attorneys and other Excepted Persons governed by ethical obligations and requirements), including for the avoidance of doubt, potential Lenders (except to the extent no Borrower consent is needed to assign to such Person under Section 12.16), without the prior written consent of the Borrower or Servicer, as applicable, and each such Excepted Person shall, as a condition to any such disclosure, agree that such information shall be used solely in connection with such Excepted Person’s evaluation of, or relationship with, the Borrower, (ii) disclose the existence of this Agreement, but not the financial terms thereof, (iii) disclose such information as is required by Applicable Law, and (iv) disclose this Agreement and such information in any suit, action, proceeding or investigation (whether in law or in equity or pursuant to arbitration) involving any of the Transaction Documents for the purpose of defending itself, reducing its liability, or protecting or exercising any of its claims, rights, remedies, or interests under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents. It is understood that the financial terms that may not be disclosed except in compliance with this Section 12.13(a) include, without limitation, all fees and other pricing terms, and all Events of Default, Servicer Termination Events, and priority of payment provisions.

(b)   Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Loan Party and the Servicer hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it (i) to the Administrative Agent, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties by each other, (ii) by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any of them, provided such Person agrees to hold such information confidential in accordance with the terms hereof and to use such information solely for the purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) by the Administrative Agent, and the Secured Parties to S&P or Xxxxx’x, any commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to any Lender, and to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing, provided each such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information; provided that, no information that constitutes Proprietary Information shall be disclosed to any Person without the prior written consent of any Loan Party or the Servicer.

authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law). For purposes of this Section 12.13(b), “Proprietary Information” means all information prepared internally by or on behalf of the Servicer with respect to any Loan, including any credit memos, analyses or similar materials.

(c)   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known; (ii) disclosure of any and all information (A) if required to do so by any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation, (B) to any government agency or regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or oversee any aspects of the Administrative Agent’s, the Secured Parties’, the Collateral Agent’s, the Servicer’s, the Equityholder’s or any Loan Party’s business or that of their affiliates, (C) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar demand or request of any court, regulatory authority, arbitrator or arbitration to which the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent, the Servicer or any Loan Party or an officer, director, employee, shareholder or affiliate of any of the foregoing is a party, (D) in any preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement or contract or other document approved in advance by the Loan Parties or, to the extent information with respect to the Servicer is included therein, the Servicer, (E) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent (including any potential sub-or-successor servicer), employee or attorney of the Collateral Agent or the Servicer having a need to know the same, (F) to any Person whose consent is required or to whom notice is required to be given in connection with the Borrower’s acquisition or disposition of any Loan or any assignment thereof, or (G) to any Person when required for USA Patriot Act or other “know your customer” purposes, provided that the Collateral Agent or the Servicer, as applicable, advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed; or (iii) any other disclosure authorized by any Loan Party or the Servicer, as applicable.

(d)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each of the Loan Parties and the Servicer shall each have the right to keep confidential from the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or the Secured Parties, for such period of time as such Person determines is reasonable (i) any information that such Person reasonably believes to be in the nature of trade secrets and (ii) any other information that such Person or any of their Affiliates, or the officers, employees, directors, members or managers of any of the foregoing, is required by law as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel.

(e)   Each of the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent will keep the information of the Obligors confidential in the manner required by the applicable Underlying Instruments.

Section 12.14  Execution in Counterparts; Severability; Integration.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) an original manual signature; (ii) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or (iii) any other electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National

-158-

Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the UCC (collectively, “Signature Law”), in each case to the extent applicable. Each faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the UCC or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any agreements or letters (including fee letters) executed in connection herewith contain the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

Section 12.15  Waiver of Setoff.

Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any right of setoff it may have or to which it may be entitled under this Agreement from time to time against any Lender or its assets.

Section 12.16  Assignments by the Lenders.

(a)   Subject to Section 12.16(e), each Lender may, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be (x) unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or (y) required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), at any time assign an interest in, or sell a participation interest in any Advance (or portion thereof) or its Commitment hereunder (or any portion thereof) to any Person; provided that, (i) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no transfer of any Commitment (or any portion thereof) or Advance (or any portion thereof) shall be made unless the transferee has either a long-term unsecured debt rating of “Baa2” or above from Xxxxx’x or “BBB” or above from S&P, (ii) the consent of the Borrower is not required for any assignment (x) to any Affiliate of a Lender or (y) required by any change in Applicable Law or Governmental Authority applicable to such Lender (which change or requirement shall be disclosed in reasonable detail to the Borrower unless such disclosure is prohibited by Applicable Law or a Governmental Authority) and (iii) in the case of an assignment of any Commitment (or any portion thereof) or any Advance (or any portion thereof), the assignee executes and delivers to the Servicer, the Borrower the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent a fully executed Joinder Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto; provided that no assignment by any Lender shall be effective if, after giving effect to such assignment, Xxxxx Fargo would hold 50% or less of the aggregate Commitments (or, if the applicable Commitments have been terminated, 50% or less of the Advances Outstanding). Each Lender hereby represents and warrants that is a “Qualified Purchaser” within the meaning of Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act. The parties to any such assignment or sale of a participation interest shall execute and deliver to such Lender for its acceptance and recording in its books and records, such

-159-

agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties. The Borrower shall not assign or delegate, or grant any interest in, or permit any Lien (except Permitted Liens) to exist upon, any of the Borrower’s rights, obligations or duties under the Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Xxxxx Fargo shall not need prior consent of the Borrower to consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey or transfer substantially all of its properties and assets, including without limitation any Advance (or portion thereof), to any Person.

(b)   The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Xxxxxxxx, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the Servicer the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, the Servicer and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c)   The Borrower agrees that each participant pursuant to Section 12.16(a) shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12 and Section 2.13 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.13(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.13(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(g) as if it were an assignee hereunder; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from (i) the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any Applicable Law or (ii) the compliance by the participating Lender or such participant with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.12(g) with respect to the applicable participant.

(d)   Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of the applicable participants and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each such participant’s interest in the Obligations (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Obligations) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance

-160-

of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e)   Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.16 or any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its Advances or Commitments as collateral security to a Federal Reserve Bank or, as applicable, to such Xxxxxx’s trustee for the benefit of its investors (but no such assignment shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder).

Section 12.17   Heading and Exhibits.

The headings herein are for purposes of reference only and shall not otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision hereof. The schedules and exhibits attached hereto and referred to herein shall constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement for all purposes.

Section 12.18  Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

To the extent that this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document constitutes a QFC, the Borrower agrees with each Secured Party as of the Closing Date as follows:

(a)   In the event a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of this Agreement and/or such other Transaction Document, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement and/or such other Transaction Document from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement and/or such other the Transaction Document, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)   In the event that a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement and/or such other Transaction Document that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement and/or such other Transaction Document were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Section 12.19  Intent of the Parties.

It is the intent and understanding of each party hereto that the Advances are loans from the Lenders to the Borrower and do not constitute a “security” within the meaning of Section 8-102(15) of the UCC.

ARTICLE XIII

INTENT OF THE PARTIESTHE COLLATERAL CUSTODIAN

Section 13.1  The Collateral Custodian.

(a)   Appointment. Alter Domus (US) LLC is hereby appointed as Collateral Custodian in accordance for the terms herein. The Collateral Custodian hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and obligations with respect thereto set forth herein for the benefit of the Secured Parties until its removal or resignation as Collateral Custodian pursuant to the terms hereof. The Administrative Agent hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Custodian to act as its agent and hereby authorizes the Collateral Custodian to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly granted to the Collateral Custodian by this Agreement. The rights, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall also be afforded to the Collateral Custodian.

(b)   Delivery of Required Loan Documents. In connection with each Loan included in the Collateral as of the Closing Date, and promptly following the acquisition of a Loan after the date hereof, the Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Collateral Custodian the Required Loan Documents in respect of each Loan in physical or electronic form, as applicable; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any Required Loan Documents, which constitute securities required to be delivered by the Borrower under Section 3.3(b) or (c) shall be delivered to the Collateral Custodian in accordance with such Section. In connection with delivery of any Required Loan Documents to the Collateral Custodian for any Loan, the Borrower shall deliver a Loan Checklist (or, if applicable, an updated Loan Checklist) for such Loan. All Required Loan Documents that are delivered to the Collateral Custodian shall be delivered to the Collateral Custodian at its document custody office located at Alter Domus (US) LLC, 000 X. Xxxxxxxxxx Xx., 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Doc Custody and Legal Department, or at such other office as shall be specified to the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent by the Collateral Custodian in a written notice prior to such change. The Collateral Custodian shall have no obligation to review or monitor any Required Loan Documents but shall only be required to hold those Required Loan Documents received by it in safekeeping.

(c)   Duties. From the Closing Date until its resignation or removal pursuant to Section 13.10, the Collateral Custodian shall perform the following duties and obligations:

  (i)   The Collateral Custodian shall take and retain custody of the Required Loan Documents delivered by any Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of any Required Loan Documents and the related Loan Checklist, the Collateral Custodian shall review the Required Loan Documents delivered to it to confirm that (A) the Obligor name matches the Loan Checklist, (B) such Required Loan Documents have been executed by each party thereto and appear to have no missing or mutilated pages, (C) each item listed in the Loan Checklist has been provided to the Collateral Custodian and (D) the related original balance (based on a comparison to the note or assignment agreement, as applicable) is

-162-

greater than or equal to the loan balance listed on the related Loan Schedule (such items (A) through (D) collectively, the “Review Criteria”). In order to facilitate the foregoing review by the Collateral Custodian, in connection with each delivery of Required Loan Documents hereunder to the Collateral Custodian, the Servicer shall provide to the Collateral Custodian hard copy (which may be preceded by an electronic copy in EXCEL or a comparable format acceptable to the Collateral Custodian as applicable) of the related Loan Checklist that contains a list of all related Required Loan Documents and whether they require original signatures, the Loan identification number and the name of the Obligor with respect to each related Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Custodian’s obligation to review the Required Loan Documents shall be limited to reviewing such Required Loan Documents based on the information provided on the Loan Checklist. If, at the conclusion of such review, the Collateral Custodian is unable to confirm the Review Criteria, the Collateral Custodian shall within one (1) Business Day notify the Servicer and the applicable Loan Party of such determination and provide the Servicer and such Loan Party with a list of the non-complying Loans and the applicable Review Criteria that they fail to satisfy. The Servicer shall have twenty (20) Business Days to correct any non-compliance with any Review Criteria. If after the conclusion of such time period the Servicer has still not cured any non-compliance by a Loan with any Review Criteria, the Collateral Custodian shall promptly notify the Servicer, the applicable Loan Party and the Administrative Agent of such continued non-compliance and such Loan shall cease to be an Eligible Loan until such non-compliance is cured. In addition, if requested in writing in the form of Exhibit D by the Servicer and approved by the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of the Collateral Custodian’s delivery of such report, the Collateral Custodian shall return the Required Loan Documents for any Loan which fails to satisfy any Review Criteria to such Loan Party. Other than the foregoing, the Collateral Custodian shall not have any responsibility for reviewing any Underlying Instruments.

  (ii)   In taking and retaining custody of the Underlying Instruments, the Collateral Custodian shall be deemed to be acting as the agent of the Secured Parties; provided that the Collateral Custodian makes no representations as to the existence, perfection or priority of any Lien on the Underlying Instruments or the instruments therein; and provided further that the Collateral Custodian’s duties as agent shall be limited to those expressly contemplated herein.

  (iii)   All Required Loan Documents that are originals shall be kept in fire resistant vaults, rooms or cabinets at the offices of the Collateral Custodian. All Required Loan Documents shall be placed together with an appropriate identifying label and maintained in such a manner so as to permit retrieval and access. The Collateral Custodian shall segregate the Required Loan Documents on its inventory system and will not commingle the physical Required Loan Documents with any other files of the Collateral Custodian.

  (iv)   On each Reporting Date, the Collateral Custodian shall provide a written report to the Administrative Agent and the Servicer (in a form mutually agreeable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian) identifying each Loan for which it holds Required Loan Documents and any Review Criteria that each such Loan fails to

-163-

satisfy. The Servicer shall have twenty (20) Business Days after notice or knowledge thereof to correct any non-compliance with any Review Criteria. To the extent such non-compliance has not been cured within such time period, such Loan shall cease to be an Eligible Loan until such non-compliance is cured.

  (v)   The Collateral Custodian agrees to cooperate with the Administrative Agent and deliver any Required Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent as requested in order to take any action that the Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable in order to exercise or enforce any of the rights of a Secured Party hereunder. In the event the Collateral Custodian receives instructions from the Servicer or any Loan Party which conflict with any instructions received by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall rely on and follow the instructions given by the Administrative Agent.

  (vi)   On or promptly following the Closing Date, the Collateral Custodian shall provide the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Servicer access to an electronic database maintained by the Collateral Custodian, which such database shall identify the Required Loan Documents delivered to the Collateral Custodian per the Loan Checklist.

  (vii)   Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in the Transaction Documents, the Collateral Custodian shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any party hereto or any Secured Party in its capacity as such, and no implied covenants, functions, obligations or responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Custodian. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby expressly agreed and stipulated by the other parties hereto that the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to exercise any discretion hereunder and shall have no investment or management responsibility. The Collateral Custodian shall not be deemed to assume any obligations or liabilities of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

  (viii)   After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Custodian agrees to cooperate with the Collateral Agent and promptly deliver any Required Loan Documents to the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) as requested in order to take any action that the Lenders deem necessary or desirable in order for the Collateral Agent to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder. In the event the Collateral Custodian receives instructions from the Borrower which conflict with any instructions received from the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) at any time other than following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Custodian shall rely on and follow the instructions given by the Collateral Agent. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Custodian shall rely on and follow only the instructions given by the Collateral Agent and shall not follow any instructions given by the Borrower.

-164-

   (ix)   The Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent (each acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may direct the Collateral Custodian in writing to take any action incidental to its duties hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Custodian hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable; provided that the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to take any such action at the direction of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Custodian, (x) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Collateral Custodian to liability hereunder (unless it has been provided with an indemnity agreement (including the indemnity provisions contained herein and in the other Transaction Documents) which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto). In the event the Collateral Custodian requests the consent of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the Collateral Custodian does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, within 10 Business Days of its receipt of such request, then the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.

   (x)   The Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Collateral Custodian or the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. The Collateral Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including an Event of Default, unless an authorized officer of the Collateral Custodian has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Event of Default.” In the absence of receipt of such notice, the Collateral Custodian may conclusively assume that there is no Event of Default.

Section 13.2  Collateral Custodian Compensation.

As compensation for its custodial activities hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to compensation from the Borrower as set forth in the Collateral Custodian Fee Letter. The Collateral Custodian’s entitlement to receive such compensation shall cease on the earlier to occur of (a) the effective date of its removal as Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 13.10 of this Agreement, (b) the effective date of its resignation as Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 13.10 of this Agreement or (c) the termination of this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Custodian shall remain entitled to receive, as and when such amounts are payable under the terms of this Agreement, any unpaid fees prior to the release of all Required Loan Documents from the custody of the Collateral Custodian.

Section 13.3  Limitation on Liability.

protected in acting upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, instruction, statement, request, waiver, consent, report, letter or other document delivered to it and that in good faith it reasonably believes to be genuine and that has been signed by the proper party or parties. The Collateral Custodian shall not be bound to make any independent investigation into the facts or matters stated in any such notice, instruction, statement certificate, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt or other paper or document. The Collateral Custodian may rely conclusively on and shall be fully protected in acting upon the written instructions of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and no party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Custodian as a result of the Collateral Custodian acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

(b)   Neither the Collateral Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, agents, or employees shall be liable for any error of judgment, or for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Collateral Custodian under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction).

(c)   The Collateral Custodian makes no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Required Loan Documents, the Loans or any other Collateral, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity or value of any of the Collateral.

In no event shall the Collateral Custodian be liable for punitive, special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Collateral Custodian has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(e)   The Collateral Custodian shall have no responsibilities or duties with respect to any Required Loan Document while such Required Loan Document is not in its possession.

The Servicer shall return to the Collateral Agent the Underlying Instruments or other such documents (i) promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent (after the occurrence of an Event of Default), or (ii) when the Servicer’s need therefor in connection with such enforcement or servicing no longer exists, unless the Loan shall be liquidated or sold, in which case, upon receipt of an additional request for release of documents and receipt certifying such liquidation or sale from the Servicer to the Collateral Custodian in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D, the Servicer’s request and receipt submitted pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection shall be released by the Collateral Custodian to the Servicer.

(b)   Release for Payment. Upon receipt by the Collateral Custodian of the Servicer’s request for release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment or repurchase have been or will be credited to the Collection Account as provided in this Agreement), the Collateral Custodian shall promptly release the related Underlying Instruments to the Servicer.

returned and reciting that the conditions to such release have been met (and specifying the Section or Sections of this Agreement being relied upon for such release). The Collateral Custodian shall upon its receipt of each such request for return executed by the Borrower, or if applicable such Securitization Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, return the Underlying Instruments so requested to the Borrower or such Securitization Subsidiary (as directed by the Borrower).

Section 13.7  Shipment of Required Loan Documents.

(a)   Written instructions as to the method of shipment and shipper(s) the Collateral Custodian is requesting to utilize in connection with the transmission of Required Loan Documents in the performance of the Collateral Custodian’s duties hereunder shall be delivered by the Borrower, the Servicer or the Required Lenders to the Collateral Custodian prior to any shipment of any Required Loan Documents hereunder. The Servicer shall arrange for the provision of such services at the cost and expense of the Borrower (or, at the Collateral Custodian’s option, the Borrower shall reimburse the Collateral Custodian for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the Collateral Custodian consistent with such instructions) and shall maintain such insurance against loss or damage to the Required Loan Documents as the Servicer deems appropriate.

Periodically, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may review the Servicer’s collection and administration of the Collateral in order to assess compliance by the Servicer with Article VI and may conduct an audit of the Collateral, and Underlying Instruments in conjunction with such a review. Such review shall be reasonable in scope and shall be completed in a reasonable period of time.

(b)   Without limiting the foregoing provisions of Section 13.8 (a), from time to time on request of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall permit certified public accountants or other independent auditors acceptable to the Administrative Agent to conduct a review of the Underlying Instruments and all other documentation regarding the Collateral.

The Collateral Custodian agrees that, with respect to any Required Loan Documents at any time or times in its possession, the Collateral Custodian shall be the agent of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, for purposes of perfecting (to the extent not otherwise perfected) the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral and for the purpose of ensuring that such security interest is entitled to first priority status under the UCC.

Section 13.10  Removal and Resignation.

(a)   Collateral Custodian may be removed, with or without cause, by the Administrative Agent upon 30 days prior written notice to the Collateral Custodian (the “Collateral Custodian Termination Notice”); provided that, notwithstanding its receipt of a Collateral Custodian Termination Notice, the Collateral Custodian shall continue to act in such capacity (and, for the avoidance of doubt, so long as it continues to act in such capacity, shall continue to receive any fees and any other amounts to which it is entitled to receive in such capacity under the terms of this Agreement and the Collateral Custodian Fee Letter) until a successor Collateral Custodian has been appointed and has agreed to act as Collateral Custodian hereunder.

(b)   Collateral Custodian may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder, not earlier than thirty (30) days after delivery to the Administrative Agent of written notice of such resignation specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. If no successor collateral custodian has accepted appointment as the Collateral Custodian by the date thirty (30) days following a resigning Collateral Custodian’s notice of resignation, the resigning Collateral Custodian’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Collateral Agent (or its designee) shall perform the duties of the Collateral Custodian hereunder until such time, if any, as the Collateral Agent appoints a successor Collateral Custodian. Upon the effective date of such resignation, or if the Administrative Agent gives Collateral Custodian written notice of an earlier termination hereof, Collateral Custodian shall (i) be reimbursed for any costs and expenses Collateral Custodian shall incur in connection with the termination of its duties under this Agreement and (ii) deliver all of the required Loan Documents in the possession of Collateral Custodian to the Administrative Agent or to such Person as the Administrative Agent may designate to Collateral Custodian in writing upon the receipt of a request in the form of Exhibit H. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to receive, as and when such amounts are payable in accordance with this Agreement, any fees accrued through the effective date of its resignation pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 13.10.
