Each Class A Committed Lender in a Class A Non-Defaulting Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fund on the date of such request, but in any event no event later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Non-Defaulting Group Funding Date shall fund, its proportionate share (based upon the Commitment of the Committed Lender(s) in each Class A Non-Defaulting Group relative to the Class A Aggregate Commitment less the Commitment of the Class A Defaulting Group) of the Class A Borrowing Deficit; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall have any obligation to fund any such Advance unless each of the conditions precedent stated therefor in Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(d) is satisfied after giving effect thereto. The Class A Committed Lender that is the Defaulting Lender shall forthwith, upon demand, pay to the applicable Agents for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in the Class A Non-Defaulting Groups all amounts paid by each such Lender in the Class A Non-Defaulting Groups on behalf of such Defaulting Lender, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date a payment was made by the Lenders in the Class A Non-Defaulting Groups until the date such Lenders have been paid such amounts in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus 1.00% per annum.

(e) If any Lender Group containing a Defaulting Lender that is a Class B Committed Lender (a “Class B Defaulting Group”) fails to fund its ratable portion of any Loan requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.01 (the aggregate amount unavailable to the Borrower as a result of such failure being herein called the “Class B Borrowing Deficit”), then the Borrower, by no later than 1:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Funding Date shall instruct each Agent for a Lender Group with a Class B Committed Lender that does not include a Defaulting Lender (a “Class B Non-Defaulting Group”) to make Loans by deposit of

immediately available funds to the Borrower Operating Account in an amount equal to such Class B Non-Defaulting Group’s proportionate share (based upon the Commitment of the Committed Lender(s) in each Class B Non-Defaulting Group relative to the Class B Aggregate Commitment less the Commitment of the Class B Defaulting Group) of the Class B Borrowing Deficit and shall notify the Account Bank thereof. Each Class B Committed Lender in a Class B Non-Defaulting Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fund on the date of such request, but in any event no event later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Non-Defaulting Group Funding Date shall fund, its proportionate share (based upon the Commitment of the Committed Lender(s) in each Class B Non-Defaulting Group relative to the Class B Aggregate Commitment less the Commitment of the Class B Defaulting Group) of the Class B Borrowing Deficit; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall have any obligation to fund any such Advance unless each of the conditions precedent stated therefor in Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(d) is satisfied after giving effect thereto. The Class B Committed Lender that is the Defaulting Lender shall forthwith, upon demand, pay to the applicable Agents for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in the Class B Non-Defaulting Groups all amounts paid by each such Lender in the Class B Non-Defaulting Groups on behalf of such Defaulting Lender, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date a payment was made by the Lenders in the Class B Non-Defaulting Groups until the date such Lenders have been paid such amounts in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus 1.00% per annum.

(f) In the event that, notwithstanding the fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article Four with respect to a Loan, a Conduit Lender elected to make an advance on a Funding Date but failed to make its Lender Advance available to the Borrower when required by Section 2.02(c), such Conduit Lender shall be deemed to have rescinded its election to make such advance, and neither the Borrower nor any other party shall have any claim against such Conduit Lender by reason of its failure to timely make such purchase. In any such case, the Borrower shall give notice of such failure not later than 1:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date to the related Agent, the Committed Lender for such Lender Group and to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify (i) the identity of such Conduit Lender and (ii) the amount of the Lender Advance which it had elected but failed to make. Subject to receiving such notice, such Committed Lender shall advance a portion of the Principal Amount in an amount equal to the amount described in clause (ii) above, at or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Funding Date and otherwise in accordance with Section 2.01(d).

(g) If any Lender makes available to the Borrower funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the provisions of Sections 2.01 and 2.02, and the conditions to the applicable Loan set forth in Article Four are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Borrower shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender.

(h) If any Loan is not made or effectuated, as the case may be, due to the Borrower’s failure to satisfy, or continue to satisfy, the conditions to fund the Loan on the Closing Date, the Borrower and the Servicer shall jointly and severally indemnify each Lender against any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender, including any loss (including loss of anticipated profits, net of anticipated profits in the reemployment of such funds in the manner determined by such Lender), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Loan.

(i) The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided, that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(j) The Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that any election by any Lender, in its sole discretion, on one or more occasion to fund any Loan on any day prior to the final passage of the applicable notice period set forth in Section 2.01(a) above shall not constitute or be deemed to be an amendment, waiver or other modification of the requirement for such notice prior to any Lender funding any other Loan hereunder.

Section 2.03. Reductions of Commitments.

(a) At any time the Borrower may, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, each Agent, the Account Bank and each Hedge Counterparty, if any, reduce the Facility Amount, which shall be applied, unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) and the Agents, pro rata to the Class A Aggregate Commitment and the Class B Aggregate Commitment. Each partial reduction shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Reductions of the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to this Section shall be allocated to the Commitment of each Committed Lender and each Conduit Lender, pro rata based on the Lender Percentage of the Class A Aggregate Commitment or Class B Aggregate Commitment, as applicable, represented by such Commitment. Any request for a reduction in the Facility Amount shall be irrevocable and the Borrower shall deliver no more than two such requests in any 12-month period.

(b) In connection with any reduction of the Facility Amount, the Borrower shall remit (i) first, to the Class A Lenders, pro rata, based on their respective Lender Percentages, the amount sufficient to pay the Aggregate Unpaids due to such Class A Lenders with respect to such reduction of the Facility Amount, including any associated Breakage Costs, (ii) second, to the Class B Lenders, pro rata, based on their respective Lender Percentages, the amount sufficient to pay the Aggregate Unpaids due to such Class B Lenders with respect to such reduction of the Facility Amount, including any associated Breakage Costs, and (iii) third, to the relevant Hedge Counterparty, any Hedge Breakage Costs due to such Hedge Counterparty with respect to the reduction of the Loans Outstanding; provided, however, that no such reduction shall be given effect unless the Borrower has complied with the terms of any Hedging Agreement requiring that any Hedge Transaction related thereto be terminated in whole or in part as a result of any such reduction in the Loans Outstanding.

Section 2.04. Increase of Commitment. The Commitment of the Credit Suisse Lender Group may, at the request of the Borrower, be increased by an aggregate amount of up to

$25,000,000 during the Revolving Period with the consent of the Lenders in the Credit Suisse Lender Group, which consent shall be in their sole and absolute discretion. Such increase in Commitment shall be effected by an amendment to the Credit Suisse Lender Supplement annexed hereto as Schedule A-1 to reflect such increased Commitment and upon payment of the fee then due by the Borrower under the Credit Suisse Upfront Fee Letter in connection with such increase. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including for the avoidance of doubt Section 15.01, such amendment of the Credit Suisse Lender Supplement shall not require the consent of any other Lender or party hereto other than the Borrower and the Lenders in the Credit Suisse Lender Group. The Borrower shall provide a copy of such amended Credit Suisse Lender Supplement to the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders hereto, the Backup Servicer and each Rating Agency promptly upon the execution thereof.

Section 2.05. The Notes.

(a) The Loans made by the Lenders hereunder shall be evidenced by one or more duly executed promissory notes payable to the order of the Persons specified by the Owners, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Facility Amount, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (each, a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”). Each Note shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be duly completed. The maturity date of each Note shall be the Maturity Date. Any Loans assigned to an Eligible Assignee pursuant to Section 13.01 shall be evidenced by a replacement Note payable to the order of such Eligible Assignee.

(b) Each Agent is hereby authorized to enter notations (which may be computer generated) on a schedule attached to the Note with respect to each Lender Advance made by each Lender in its Lender Group hereunder, regarding (i) the date and principal amount thereof and (ii) each payment and repayment of principal thereof and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded. The failure of an Agent to make any such notation on the schedule attached to the Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their respective terms as set forth herein.

(c) Promptly following the Facility Termination Date, each Agent shall xxxx each Note for its Lender Group “Paid” and return it to the Borrower for cancellation.

Section 2.06. Optional Principal Repayment. The Borrower may prepay all or any portion of the Loans Outstanding on any Business Day without penalty, upon delivery of a Prepayment Notice to the Administrative Agent, the Agents, the Account Bank and each Hedge Counterparty, if any, at least five (5) Business Days prior to such anticipated prepayment; provided that (i) the amount prepaid is at least $1,000,000 or integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Administrative Agent); (ii) the Borrower pays to each of the Secured Parties, on the date of any such prepayment, each such Secured Party’s pro rata allocable share of (a) accrued Interest with respect to the portion of the Loans Outstanding to be prepaid through the date of prepayment, as calculated by the Administrative Agent, and (b) the pro rata portion of all other Aggregate Unpaids relating to such prepayment (including all Breakage Costs, but excluding all Hedge Breakage Costs and any other amounts payable by the Borrower under or with respect to any Hedging Agreement) payable to any Indemnified Party under this Agreement through the date of such prepayment,

including Indemnified Amounts pursuant to Section 11.01; (iii) the Borrower certifies that following such prepayment, the Borrower will be in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement; (iv) no such reduction shall be given effect unless the Borrower has complied with the terms of any Hedging Agreement requiring one or more Hedge Transactions be terminated in whole or in part as a result of any such reduction; (v) the Borrower has paid all Hedge Breakage Costs due to the relevant Hedge Counterparty for such termination; and (vi) all prepayments shall be made (a) prior to the occurrence of a Facility Amortization Event, pro rata to the Class A Lenders and Class B Lenders, based on the amount of Loans Outstanding that are Class A Loans and Class B Loans and (b) after the occurrence of a Facility Amortization Event, first, to reduce the Loans Outstanding that are Class A Loans to zero, and second, to reduce the Loans Outstanding that are Class B Loans to zero. Any notice of a prepayment shall be irrevocable.

Section 2.07. Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall pay Interest on the unpaid Principal Amount of each Loan for the period from and including the related Funding Date until the date that such Loan shall be paid in full. Interest shall accrue during each Interest Period and be payable on the Loans Outstanding on each Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.08, unless earlier paid pursuant to Section 2.06 or Section 2.15. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Principal Amount of each Loan, all Interest thereon, together with all other Aggregate Unpaids, shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the Maturity Date.

(b) Each Lender’s Invested Percentage of the Loans Outstanding shall bear interest for each day during an Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Interest Rate on such day for such Interest Period.

(c) Interest calculated by reference to LIBOR shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed during the related interest period and (ii) the Prime Rate and the Federal Funds Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- or 366- day year, as applicable, for the actual days elapsed. Periodic fees or other periodic amounts payable hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and for the actual number of days elapsed during the related interest period.

(d) The principal of and Interest on the Notes shall be paid as provided herein and in the Notes. In the case of Notes held by an Agent as agent for its Lender Group, such Agent shall allocate to the members of its Lender Group each payment in respect of the Notes received by such Agent as provided herein. Payments in respect of principal and Interest (including pursuant to Section 2.06) shall be allocated and applied to Owners of such Note based on their respective Invested Percentages that are Class A Loans or Class B Loans, as applicable, or in any such case in such other proportions as each affected Lender may agree upon in writing from time to time with such Agent and the Borrower.

(e) At or before 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day prior to each Reporting Date, each Lender shall notify the Agent for its Lender Group of its Interest Rate in effect for the current Interest Period. At or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day prior to each Reporting Date, the Agents shall then notify the Borrower of all such rates. For such purposes, the Agents may rely conclusively on notices from Lenders as to the

interest rate or rates from time to time applicable to their respective Invested Percentage of the Loans Outstanding. Each determination by a Lender of its Interest Rate pursuant to this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders, each Agent, the Borrower, the Servicer and the Backup Servicer, in the absence of manifest error.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, if at any time the rate of interest payable by any Person under the Basic Documents exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, then, so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be exceeded, such rate of interest shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate. If at any time thereafter the rate of interest so payable is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, such Person shall continue to pay Interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received from such Person is equal to the total Interest that would have been received had Applicable Law not limited the interest rate so payable. In no event shall the total Interest received by a Lender under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents exceed the amount which such Lender could lawfully have received, had the Interest due been calculated from the Closing Date at the Maximum Lawful Rate.

Section 2.08. Settlement Procedures.

(a) On each Payment Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Account Bank to pay, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Account Bank to pay, no later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, in each case, based solely on the information in the related Monthly Report, to the following Persons, from the Collection Account (to the extent of Available Funds) and from the Reserve Account (in the amount of the related Reserve Account Withdrawal Amount), in the following order of priority as set forth in the Monthly Report:

(f) Each Lender agrees or is deemed to agree that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Party or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.13 or Section 2.14, it shall, to the extent not inconsistent with its internal policies of general application, use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize costs, expenses and other amounts incurred by it and payable by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13 or Section 2.14, as applicable.

(a) If any Regulatory Change (i) subjects any Affected Party to any charge or withholding on or with respect to this Agreement or an Affected Party’s obligations under this Agreement, or on or with respect to a Loan and/or the Receivables, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Affected Party of any amounts payable under this Agreement (except for Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes), (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, fee, tax (except for Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes), insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or liabilities of an Affected Party, or credit extended by an Affected Party pursuant to this Agreement or (iii) imposes any other condition affecting a Loan or a Lender’s right hereunder (other than Taxes), the result of which (A) is a fee, expense, internal capital charge or other imputed cost allocable to any Affected Party, (B) increases the cost to an Affected Party of performing its obligations under this Agreement or (C) reduces the rate of return on an Affected Party’s capital or assets as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement, or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, then, within 15 Business Days after demand by the applicable Agent on behalf of such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Affected Party, such amounts charged to such Affected Party or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Affected Party for such increased cost or such reduction. The Borrower acknowledges that any Affected Party may institute measures in anticipation of a Regulatory Change (including the imposition of internal charges on such Affected Party’s interests or obligations under this Agreement), and may commence allocating Early Adoption Increased Costs, in advance of the effective date of such Regulatory Change, and the Borrower agrees to pay such Early Adoption Increased Costs to the Affected Party within 30 days after demand therefor without regard to whether such effective date has occurred; provided, however, that such

amounts shall be payable to an Affected Party only if such Affected Party represents and warrants in writing to the Borrower that it is (1) recognizing internal charges in respect of such Affected Party’s interests or obligations under this Agreement in anticipation of a Regulatory Change and (2) applying consistent return metrics in making determinations to charge Early Adoption Increased Costs or similar amounts to its similarly situated consumer loan finance company customers; further provided, however, that no amount of Early Adoption Increased Costs shall begin to accrue or be payable by the Borrower in respect of an anticipated Regulatory Change until 30 days after the Borrower’s receipt of written notice that such Affected Party intends to make a claim for Early Adoption Increased Costs under this Section in respect of such change. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any Early Adoption Increased Costs incurred by any Affected Party prior to the expiration of the 30-day notice period specified in the preceding sentence. The Borrower further acknowledges that any charge or compensation demanded hereunder may take the form of a monthly charge to be assessed by such Affected Party.

(b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request (including the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxx, Xxxxx XX, Xxxxx III, the Xxxxxxx Rule or the Risk-Based Capital Requirements) or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with the interpretation of or any change in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), including compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (including the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxx, Xxxxx XX, Xxxxx III or the Risk-Based Capital Requirements), but in each case, excluding Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes, that 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, within 15 Business Days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and reasonably estimated calculation of 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.

(c) If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in Section 2.13(a) or 2.13(b), any Affected Party is required to compensate a Credit Provider in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Loans hereunder, then within 15 days after demand by such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any such amounts paid by it.

(d) In determining any amount provided for in this Section, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under this Section shall submit to the Borrower a certificate describing such additional or increased cost or reduction in reasonable detail, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) If any Lender has or anticipates having any claim for compensation from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13(a), and such Lender believes that having the Loans under this Agreement (or any related Credit Facility or Liquidity Facility provided by a Lender with respect to a Conduit Lender hereunder) rated by a particular nationally recognized statistical rating organization would reduce the amount of such compensation by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, such Lender shall provide a Ratings Request to the Borrower and the Servicer that such Lender intends to request a Required Rating. The Borrower and the Servicer agree that they shall cooperate with such Lender’s efforts to obtain the Required Rating, and shall provide the applicable nationally recognized statistical rating organization (either directly or through distribution to the Administrative Agent or Lender) any information requested by such nationally recognized statistical rating organization for purposes of providing and monitoring the Required Rating. The Lender or Lenders providing the Ratings Request shall pay the initial fees payable to such nationally recognized statistical rating organization for providing the rating and all ongoing fees payable to such nationally recognized statistical rating organization for their continued monitoring of the rating (for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.13(e) shall not apply to the initial and ongoing fees payable to DBRS in connection with the ratings assigned in connection with this Agreement on the Closing Date, which Regional Management is obligated to pay to DBRS directly). Nothing in this subsection shall preclude any Lender from demanding compensation from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13(a) at any time and without regard to whether the Required Rating shall have been obtained, or shall require any Lender to obtain any rating on the facility prior to demanding any such compensation from the Borrower.

Section 2.14. Taxes.

(a) All payments made by the Borrower in respect of the Loans and all other payments made by the Borrower or the Servicer under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes (including FATCA), unless such withholding or deduction is required by Applicable Law. In such event, the applicable withholding agent shall make such withholding or deduction and shall pay to the appropriate taxing authority any such Taxes required to be deducted or withheld and if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes the amount payable to a Lender, the Administrative Agent or an Agent, as the case may be, will be increased (such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that after deduction or withholding for or on account of any Indemnified Taxes (including any deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes on such Additional Amount), the applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) The Borrower will indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes in respect of which the Borrower is required to pay Additional Amounts (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on such Additional Amounts) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Lender or the Administrative Agent making a demand for indemnity payment hereunder shall provide the Borrower with a certificate from the relevant taxing authority or from a Responsible Officer of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, stating or otherwise evidencing that it has made payment of such Taxes and will provide a copy of or extract from documentation, if available,

furnished by such taxing authority evidencing assertion or payment of such Taxes. This indemnification shall be made within ten days from the date a Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor.

(c) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of any Taxes pursuant to this Section, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Agent at its address set forth below its name on the signature pages of this Agreement, appropriate evidence of payment thereof.

(d) If an Agent or Lender is a U.S. Person, such Person shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Account Bank, upon the earlier of 15 days after the Closing Date or on or prior to the date on which such entity becomes an Agent or Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Person is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(e) If an Agent or Lender is not created or organized under the laws of the United States or a State or is otherwise not a U.S. Person, such Person shall, to the extent that it may then do so under Applicable Law, deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Account Bank, (i) upon the earlier of 15 days after the Closing Date, or on or prior to the date on which such entity becomes an Agent or Lender hereunder and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (i) two executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or Form W-8IMY accompanied by the relevant certification documents for each beneficial owner (or any successor forms or other certificates or statements which may be required from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities or Applicable Law), as appropriate, and (ii) two executed originals (of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law) to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; provided, however, that the delivery of any form or documentation pursuant to this subclause (other than the specific IRS Forms and related documentation (and any successor forms) described in clause (i) above) shall not be required if in the related Agent’s or Lender’s reasonable judgment the completion, execution or delivery of such form or documentation would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Person. For any period with respect to which an Agent or Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or statement described in this subsection (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date of this Agreement), with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Account Bank, such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.13 or Section 2.14(a) or (b) with respect to any Taxes.

(f) If a payment made to any Agent or Lender under any Basic Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Agent or 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 Agent or Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Account Bank, at the time or times prescribed by

law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Account Bank, 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, the Administrative Agent or the Account Bank as may be necessary for the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Account Bank to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Agent or Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

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

(h) Within 30 days of the written request of the Borrower therefor, each Lender shall execute and deliver to the Borrower such certificates, forms or other documents which can be furnished consistent with the facts and which are reasonably necessary to assist the Borrower in applying for refunds of Taxes remitted hereunder; provided, however, that (i) a Lender shall not be required to deliver such certificates, forms or other documents if in its sole discretion exercised in good faith it is determined that the deliverance of such certificate, form or other document would have a material adverse effect on such Lender and (ii) the Borrower shall reimburse such Lender for any reasonable expenses incurred in the delivery of such certificate, form or other document. 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 (including by the payment of Additional Amounts), 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 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable 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 subsection in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) 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 or to file a refund or claim.

(i) Each Agent and Lender is deemed to understand, acknowledge and agree that the Account Bank has the right to withhold on payments (without any corresponding gross-up) where an applicable party fails to comply with the requirements set forth in this Section 2.14 or the Account Bank is otherwise required to so withhold under applicable law. The Borrower hereby covenants with the Account Bank that the Borrower will provide the Account with

sufficient information so as to enable the Account Bank to determine whether or not the Account Bank is obliged to make any withholding, including under FATCA, in respect of any payments (and if applicable, to provide the necessary detailed information to effectuate any withholding) and to provide such additional information that it may have to assist the Account Bank in making any withholdings or informational reports.

Section 2.15. Securitizations.

(a) On any Business Day, the Borrower shall have the right to prepay all or a portion of the Loans Outstanding and require the Administrative Agent to release its security interest and Lien on the related Receivables (and the other related Collateral) in connection with a Securitization, subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent, each Agent, the Servicer, the Image File Custodian, the Account Bank and the Backup Servicer at least 30 days’ (or such lesser number of days as agreed to by the Required Lenders) prior written notice of its intent to effect a Securitization;

(ii) unless a Securitization is to be effected on a Payment Date (in which case the relevant calculations with respect to such Securitization shall be reflected on the applicable Monthly Report), the Servicer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Agent (A) a Securitization Date Certificate (which shall include the relevant calculations with regard to such Securitization, including a calculation of the Class A Borrowing Base and the Total Borrowing Base after giving effect to such Securitization), together with evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the Agents that the Borrower shall have sufficient funds on the related Securitization Date to effect such Securitization in accordance with this Agreement, which funds may come from the proceeds of sales of the Receivables in connection with such Securitization (which sales must be made in arm’s-length transactions) and (B) a computer tape of the Receivables, both before and after giving effect to such Securitization;

(iii) on the related Securitization Date, the following shall be true and correct and the Borrower shall be deemed to have certified that after giving effect to the Securitization and the release to the Borrower of the related Receivables (and the other related Collateral) on the related Securitization Date, (A) no adverse selection procedures shall have been used by the Borrower with respect to the Receivables that will remain subject to this Agreement after giving effect to the Securitization, (B) no Class A Borrowing Base Deficiency or Total Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, (C) no Unmatured Event of Default, Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event has occurred or results from such release and Securitization, (D) if such Securitization Date is not a Payment Date, the Borrower shall have sufficient available funds on the immediately succeeding Payment Date to pay all amounts due and payable on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.08, and (E) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 are true and correct in all material respects, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date as set forth therein;

(iv) on the related Securitization Date, (x) the Borrower shall have paid, in immediately available funds, to the applicable entities (A) the portion of the aggregate Loans Outstanding to be prepaid, (B) an amount equal to all unpaid Interest (including Interest not yet accrued) to the extent reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be attributable to that portion of the aggregate Loans Outstanding to be paid in connection with the Securitization, (C) an aggregate amount equal to the sum of all other amounts due and owing to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Hedge Counterparties, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, to the extent accrued to such date and to accrue thereafter (including Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs) and (D) all other Aggregate Unpaids with respect thereto (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the portion of the aggregate Loans Outstanding not being prepaid on the Securitization Date and unpaid Interest thereon), and (y) each of the Backup Servicer, the Image File Custodian and the Account Bank shall have received all Aggregate Unpaids accrued and owing to such party on such date;

(v) at least five Business Days prior to the related Securitization Date, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Agents and the Image File Custodian a list specifying the Receivables being released pursuant to such Securitization; and

(vi) the Loans Outstanding that are Class A Loans shall be reduced by a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 dollars.

(b) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay the reasonable out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Image File Custodian and the Account Bank in connection with any Securitization (including expenses incurred in connection with the release of the Lien of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any other party having such an interest in the Receivables in connection with such Securitization).

Section 2.16. Sharing Payments.

(a) If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Notes owned by it any payment in excess of its Invested Percentage of the Outstanding Loans that are Class A Loans or Class B Loans, as applicable (such excess payment, the “Excess Amount”), such Lender shall immediately (i) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such fact and (ii) repay to the Borrower forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower the amount so distributed to such Lender in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Borrower, at the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of Excess Amounts owed under this Section and will in each case notify each Agent following the payment of any Excess Amounts or the repayment thereof.

(b) If any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.16(a), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), instruct the Servicer to instruct the Account Bank pursuant to any

related Monthly Report to apply any amounts thereafter allocated to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.08 to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under Section 2.16(a) until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.17. Tax Treatment. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree to treat the Notes and any interests herein as indebtedness of the Borrower secured by the Collateral for U.S. federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes.

Section 2.18. The Account Bank.

(a) The Borrower hereby appoints Xxxxx Fargo Bank as the initial Account Bank. All payments of amounts due and payable in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account or the Reserve Account shall be made on behalf of the Borrower by the Account Bank in accordance with Section 2.08.

(b) The Account Bank shall be compensated for its activities hereunder by receiving the Account Bank Fee. The Account Bank Fee shall be payable in accordance with the priorities specified in Section 2.08 or, at the option of the Servicer, may be paid directly to the Account Bank by the Servicer. The Borrower shall indemnify the Account Bank and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold them harmless against, any fees, costs, damages, claims, loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) incurred, other than in connection with the willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Account Bank, arising out of or in connection with (i) the performance of its obligations under and in accordance with this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement and (ii) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Borrower in the performance of its duties hereunder. All such amounts shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.08. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination or assignment of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Account Bank. For the avoidance of doubt, such indemnified amounts shall include any expense and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs, incurred in connection with any enforcement (including any action, claim or suit) brought by the Account Bank of any indemnification or other obligation of the Borrower or other Person.

THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LIABILITIES AND COSTS ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT OWED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UNDER ANY CLAIM OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY.

(c) The Account Bank shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Account Bank in such capacity herein and under the Account Control Agreement. No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Account Bank and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Account Bank, the Account Bank may conclusively rely on the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished to the Account Bank pursuant to and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.

(d) The Account Bank shall not be liable for:

(i) an error of judgment made in good faith by one of its officers; or

(ii) any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with or believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred, by this Agreement or at the direction of a Secured Party relating to the exercise of any power conferred upon the Account Bank under this Agreement in each case unless it shall be proved that the Account Bank shall have been grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

(e) The Account Bank shall not be charged with knowledge of any event or information, including any Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event, or be required to act (including the sending of any notice) upon any such event or information, including any Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event, unless a Responsible Officer of the Account Bank has actual knowledge of such event or receives written notice of such event from the Borrower, the Servicer or any Secured Party, and shall have no duty to take action to determine whether any such event, default or Event of Default shall have occurred.

(f) Without limiting the generality of this Section, the Account Bank shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest in the Collateral, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any recording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (ii) to see to the payment or discharge of any Tax or any Lien of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Contracts, (iii) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicer (other than in its capacity as Backup Servicer in accordance with its express duties as such undertaken herein) or the Borrower delivered to the Account Bank pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Account Bank to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties or (iv) to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the Borrower’s or the Servicer’s representations, warranties or covenants or the Servicer’s duties and obligations as Servicer and as custodian of books, records, files and computer records relating to the Contracts under this Agreement.

(g) The Account Bank shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability shall not be reasonably assured to it. None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Account Bank to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations or the acts or omissions of the Borrower, Servicer or any other party under this Agreement, and the Account Bank may assume performance of such parties absent written notice or actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Account Bank to the contrary.

(h) The Account Bank may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, Monthly Report, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(i) The Account Bank may consult with counsel of its choice with regard to legal questions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by the Account Bank in good faith in accordance therewith.

(j) The Account Bank shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement or in relation to this Agreement, at the request, order or direction of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, or any other party hereto shall have offered to the Account Bank security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby. The Account Bank shall have no liability for any action or inaction taken at the direction of the Borrower, the Servicer or the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement.

(k) The Account Bank shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by a Secured Party; provided, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Account Bank of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation shall be, in the opinion of the Account Bank, not reasonably assured by the Borrower, the Account Bank may require indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Borrower or, if paid by the Account Bank, shall be reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.08.

(l) The Account Bank may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties under this Agreement either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian. The Account Bank shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence of any such agent or custodian appointed with due care by it hereunder.

(m) The Account Bank shall have no duties or responsibilities except those that are specifically set forth herein and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Account Bank. If the Account Bank shall request instructions from the Administrative Agent or the Servicer with respect to any act, action or failure to act in connection with and as set forth in this Agreement, the Account Bank shall be entitled to refrain from taking such action and continue to refrain from acting unless and until the Account Bank shall have received written instructions from the Administrative Agent or the Servicer, as applicable, without incurring any liability therefor to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Servicer or any other person.

(n) The Account Bank may act in reliance upon any written communication of the Administrative Agent concerning the delivery of Collateral pursuant to this Agreement. The Account Bank does not assume and shall have no responsibility for, and makes no representation

as to, monitoring the value of the Contracts and other Collateral. The Account Bank shall not be liable for any action or omission to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

THE FOREGOING PARAGRAPH SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LIABILITIES ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT OWED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UNDER ANY CLAIM OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY, OR ARE CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, BY ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY KIND BY THE ACCOUNT BANK.

(o) If the Account Bank shall at any time receive conflicting instructions from the Administrative Agent and the Servicer or any other party to this Agreement and the conflict between such instructions cannot be resolved by reference to the terms of this Agreement, the Account Bank shall be entitled to rely on the instructions of the Administrative Agent. In the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Account Bank, the Account Bank may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, Monthly Report, certificate of auditors, or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Account Bank may conclusively rely upon the validity of documents delivered to it, without investigation as to their authenticity or legal effectiveness, and the Account Bank shall not be liable to the Servicer or any other party to this Agreement in respect of any claims that may arise or be asserted against the Account Bank because of the invalidity of any such documents or their failure to fulfill their intended purpose. The Account Bank shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement on the part of any party, and may assume performance of such parties absent written notice or actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Account Bank to the contrary.

(p) The Account Bank is authorized, in its sole discretion, to disregard any and all notices or instructions given by any other party hereto or by any other Person other than any such notices or instructions as are expressly provided for in this Agreement or the Account Control Agreement and orders or process of any court entered or issued with or without jurisdiction. If any property subject hereto is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part hereof, then and in any of such events the Account Bank is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree with which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, and if it complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree it shall not be liable to any other party hereto or to any other Person by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree maybe subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

(q) Any Person into which the Account Bank may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Account Bank shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the

business of the Account Bank, provided that such Person otherwise meets the requirements of the definition of the term “Account Bank”, shall be the successor of the Account Bank under this Agreement, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

(r) The Account Bank may at any time resign and terminate its obligations under this Agreement by providing written notice thereof to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; provided, however, that except as provided below, no such resignation or termination shall be effective until a successor Account Bank is appointed (and accepts such appointment) pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.18. Promptly after receipt of notice of the Account Bank’s intended resignation, the Borrower shall appoint, by written instrument, a successor Account Bank. If the Borrower fails to appoint a successor Account Bank pursuant to the terms hereof within 30 days after receipt of the Account Bank’s notice of resignation, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall have the exclusive right to appoint by written instrument, a successor Account Bank.

Section 3.03. Protection of Security Interest; Administrative Agent, as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) The Borrower agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may reasonably be necessary, or that the Administrative Agent or any Agent may reasonably deem necessary, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent in the Receivables and the other Collateral, or to enable the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder.

(b) If the Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder after five Business Days’ notice from any Secured Party, any Secured Party may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Secured Party in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower as

provided in Article Eleven. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent, as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Borrower, (i) to execute or cause to be executed on behalf of the Borrower 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 Receivables and the other Collateral, including financing statements that describe the collateral covered thereby as “all assets of the Borrower whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located” and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables and the other 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 Receivables and the other Collateral.

Such file or list shall be marked as the Schedule of Receivables attached hereto as Schedule C hereto, delivered to the Administrative Agent, each Agent and the Backup Servicer as confidential and proprietary information, and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. The Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, agrees to deliver to the Administrative Agent at such times as requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with a third-party’s request to review the Schedule of Receivables, as provided in the financing statement filed by the Administrative Agent under the UCC, an electronic data file containing a true and complete list of all Receivables, including all Receivables created on or after the initial Cutoff Date, in existence as of the later of (x) the last day of the prior Collection Period, (y) the most recent Funding Date or (z) the most recent Securitization Date by account number and by Principal Balance as of such day or date. Such updated and revised file or list shall be marked as the Schedule of Receivables, delivered to the Administrative Agent, each Agent and the Backup Servicer as confidential and proprietary information, shall replace the previously delivered Schedule of Receivables, and shall be incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.

Section 3.04. Assignment of the Second Tier Purchase Agreement. The Borrower hereby represents, warrants and confirms to the Administrative Agent that the Borrower has collaterally assigned to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder, all of the Borrower’s right and title to and interest in the Second Tier Purchase Agreement. The Borrower confirms that the Administrative Agent shall have the sole right to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under the Second Tier Purchase Agreement for the benefit of the Secured Parties, but without any obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower under the Second Tier Purchase Agreement. The Borrower further confirms and agrees that such collateral assignment to the Administrative Agent shall terminate upon the Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that the rights of the Secured Parties pursuant to such collateral assignment with respect to rights and remedies in connection with any indemnities and any breach of any representation, warranty or covenants made by Regional Management pursuant to the Second Tier Purchase Agreement, which rights and remedies survive the termination of the Second Tier Purchase Agreement, shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of such collateral assignment.

Section 3.05. Waiver of Certain Laws. Each of the Borrower, the Backup Servicer, the Image File Custodian, and the Servicer agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any part of the Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each of the Borrower, the Backup Servicer, the Image File Custodian, and the Servicer, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Administrative Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such parcels as the Administrative Agent or such court may determine.

(e) No Violation. The execution and delivery of the Borrower Basic Documents, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Borrower Basic Documents and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof will not (i) conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, the Formation Documents or any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower, (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the Borrower’s properties pursuant to the terms of any such Contractual Obligation, other than this Agreement, or (iii) violate any Applicable Law.

Each of the Borrower and Regional Management is aware that in light of the circumstances described in the preceding sentence and other relevant facts, the filing of a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code for the purpose of making any Receivable or any other assets of the Borrower available to satisfy claims of the creditors of Regional Management would not result in making such assets available to satisfy such creditors under the Bankruptcy Code.

(y) Investment Company Act. The Borrower is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act and is not required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act.

The Administrative Agent shall be deemed, upon receipt of the Release Price into the Collection Account or upon receipt of a Substitute Receivable in respect of any affected Receivable repurchased or substituted by the Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof, as applicable, to convey to the Borrower, without recourse, representation or warranty, all of its

right, title and interest in each such affected Receivable. In any of the foregoing instances, the Borrower shall accept the release of each such affected Receivable from the Administrative Agent, and the aggregate Eligible Receivables Principal Balance shall be reduced by the Principal Balance (as of the end of the most recent Collection Period) of each such affected Receivable and, if applicable, increased by the Principal Balance of each such Substitute Receivable.

In consideration of a release, the Borrower shall, on the date of release of such affected Receivable, make or cause to be made a deposit of the Release Price to the Collection Account in immediately available funds and/or via an ACH transaction. Upon each release to the Borrower of such an affected Receivable, the Administrative Agent shall automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer, assign and set-over to the Borrower, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent in, to and under such Receivable and all future monies due or to become due with respect thereto, all proceeds of such Receivable and Liquidation Proceeds relating thereto, all rights to security for any such Receivable, and all proceeds and products of the foregoing (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Release Price). In connection with the addition of any Substitute Receivable to the Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.05, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented, as of the related date of substitution, that such Substitute Receivable is an Eligible Receivable. The Administrative Agent shall, at the sole expense of the Servicer, execute such documents and instruments of release as may be prepared by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower and take other such actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Borrower to effect the release of such a Receivable removed from the Collateral pursuant to this subsection.

None of the Image File Custodian, the Backup Servicer or Account Bank is responsible for monitoring or enforcing repurchase requirements. Other than a review in accordance with Section 9.07(c) with respect to each Initial Receivable and any Subsequent Receivable, the Image File Custodian shall have no duty or obligation to review any of the Imaged Files.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall have the right to enforce all rights of the Borrower under the Second Tier Purchase Agreement including the right to require Regional Management to repurchase Receivables for breaches of representations and warranties made by Regional Management.

(e) In the event that the Servicer identifies a third party to purchase a Defaulted Receivable in accordance with the Collection Policy (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any Receivable required to be repurchased pursuant to Sections 5.05(a), (b) and (d)), the Servicer shall make a deposit of the Defaulted Receivable Release Price for such Defaulted Receivable into the Collection Account in immediately available funds, and the Borrower shall accept the release of such Defaulted Receivable as described in Section 5.05(a) so that the Servicer, on its own behalf, can then sell such Defaulted Receivable to the third party purchaser. Upon the release to the Borrower of such Defaulted Receivable, the Administrative Agent shall automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer, assign and set-over to the Borrower, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent in, to and under such Defaulted Receivable and all future monies due or to become due with respect thereto, all proceeds of such Defaulted Receivable and Liquidation Proceeds relating thereto, all rights to security for any such Defaulted Receivable, and all proceeds and products of the foregoing (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Defaulted Receivable Release Price).

(f) The Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Hedge Counterparty on the Monthly Report of any release of Receivables pursuant to Sections 5.05(a) and (d).

(c) Obligations and Compliance with Receivables. The Servicer will fulfill and comply with all obligations on the part of the Borrower to be fulfilled or complied with under or in connection with each Receivable and will do nothing to impair the rights of the Administrative Agent in, to and under the Collateral.

For the avoidance of doubt, such indemnified amounts shall include any expense and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs, incurred in connection with any enforcement (including any action, claim or suit) brought by an indemnified party of any indemnification or other obligation of the Servicer. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination or assignment of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the resignation or removal of any party.

(o) Realization on Receivables. In the event that the Servicer realizes upon any Receivable, the methods utilized by the Servicer to realize upon such Receivable or otherwise enforce any provisions of such Receivable will not subject the Servicer, the Borrower, any Secured Party, any Agent, the Backup Servicer or the Image File Custodian to liability under any federal, State or local law, and any such realization or enforcement by the Servicer will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Collection Policy and Applicable Law.

The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, or a Subservicer appointed by the Servicer as subcustodian pursuant to paragraph (k)(v) below, shall hold the Receivable Files for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as pledgee of the Borrower. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act in accordance with its customary servicing practices. The Servicer will promptly report to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders any failure on its part (or, if applicable, a subcustodian’s part) to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its account, records, and computer systems as herein provided or promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein will be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Secured Parties of the Receivable Files.

The Servicer shall maintain an imaging system through which the original physical Receivable File and, with respect to any Hard Secured Receivable, the original physical certificate of title, if any, with respect to the Titled Asset securing such Hard Secured Receivable may be imaged and captured through a standalone PDF, or another electronic medium, and validated through an internal, controlled process with images captured, stored and identifiable at a central location as a backup to physical documentation.

(v) Subcustodian. The initial Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, may appoint a Subservicer as subcustodian with respect to any Receivable File pursuant to Section 7.03(e). In the event that the initial Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, is terminated in such capacity hereunder, each subcustodian will be terminated as subcustodian for each Receivable with respect to which it is then acting in such capacity.

Section 7.04. Collection of Payments.

The Borrower will be required to pay all reasonable fees and expenses owing to the Account Bank in connection with the maintenance of the Accounts for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor. Following the Facility Termination Date, the Account Bank shall terminate the Accounts.

To the extent that the Reserve Account or Collection Account is a “securities account” within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC:

113

(ii) the Account Bank shall treat any investment property, financial assets, securities, instruments, general intangibles or other property credited to any such account as “financial assets” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC; and

(c) Adjustments. If the Servicer, directly or through a Subservicer, makes (i) a deposit into the Collection Account in respect of a collection of a Receivable and such collection was received by the Servicer in the form of a check that is not honored for any reason or (ii) a mistake with respect to the amount of any collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such collection, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake.

The Backup Servicer shall, within two Business Days after receipt of the electronic file referred to in the preceding sentence, load such electronic file, confirm such computer tape or diskette is in readable form and verify the following: the aggregate Principal Balance of all Receivables as of the most recent Determination Date, the Class A Borrowing Base and the Total Borrowing Base as of the related Reporting Date (calculated as of the related Determination Date, or, with respect to Receivables added to the Collateral following such Determination Date, but prior to the date of such Monthly Report, the related Cutoff Date), the Annualized Charge-off Ratio Ration, the Delinquency Ratio (60+ Days) and the Extension Ratio as of the related Determination Date, each as set forth in the Monthly Report. In the event of any discrepancy between the information set forth in the two foregoing sentences, as determined or calculated by the Servicer, from that determined or calculated by the Backup Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall notify the Servicer of such discrepancy by the third Business Day following receipt by the Backup Servicer of the related electronic file and, if by the Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such notice, the Backup Servicer and the Servicer are unable to resolve such discrepancy, the Backup Servicer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Agents of such discrepancy. The Backup Servicer shall provide a monthly report, in form and substance satisfactory to the Backup Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Agents and the Servicer, to the Administrative Agent, the Agents and the Servicer, on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date. The Backup Servicer, in its capacity as such, shall not be responsible for delays attributable to the Servicer’s failure to deliver information, defects in the information supplied by the Servicer or other circumstances beyond the control of the Backup Servicer.

(b) Prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall deliver the Test Data File to the Backup Servicer, in a format acceptable to the Backup Servicer. The Backup Servicer and the Servicer will agree upon the file layout and electronic medium to transfer such data to the Backup Servicer. Any reasonable cost associated with the obligations of the Backup Servicer described in this subsection shall be at the expense of the Servicer, and, to the extent that the Servicer does not pay such amounts, the Backup Servicer shall be entitled to recover such amounts pursuant to Section 2.08. On an annual basis, on the anniversary date of the Closing Date, the Servicer shall provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Backup Servicer describing any material changes which have been made to the Servicer’s system of record.

117

(e) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Backup Servicer may accept and rely on all accounting, records and work of the Servicer without audit, and the Backup Servicer shall have no Liability for the acts or omissions of the Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy or omission (collectively, “Errors”) exists in any information received from the Servicer, and such Errors should cause or materially contribute to the Backup Servicer making or continuing any Errors (collectively, “Continued Errors”), the Backup Servicer shall have no Liability for such Continued Errors; provided, however, that the Successor Servicer agrees to use its best efforts to prevent further Continued Errors. In the event the Backup Servicer has actual knowledge or receives written notice of Errors or Continued Errors, the Backup Servicer shall promptly notify the Servicer of such Errors or Continued Errors and, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), shall use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and prevent future Continued Errors. The Backup Servicer shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs thereby expended from the Servicer (or, to the extent not paid by the Servicer, in accordance with Section 2.08).

(f) The Backup Servicer shall be indemnified by the Servicer and the Borrower from and against all claims, damages, losses or expenses reasonably incurred by the Backup Servicer (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) arising out of claims asserted against or by the Backup Servicer on any matter arising out of this Agreement to the extent the act or omission giving rise to the claim accrues before the date on which the Backup Servicer assumes the duties of Servicer hereunder, except for any claims, damages, losses or expenses arising from the Backup Servicer’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. All such amounts payable by the Borrower shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.08. All such amounts payable by the Servicer, to the extent not promptly paid by the Servicer, shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.08. For the avoidance of doubt, such indemnified amounts shall include any expense and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs, incurred in connection with any enforcement (including any action, claim or suit) brought by the Backup Servicer of any indemnification or other obligation of the indemnifying party or other Person. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination or assignment of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the resignation or removal of any party.

(g) The Backup Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of its obligations set forth in this Agreement or any obligations assumed by the Backup Servicer from the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.14. Such liability is limited to only those actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Backup Servicer and caused through its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Backup Servicer and, in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Backup Servicer may conclusively rely on the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished to the Backup Servicer and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.

(h) The Backup Servicer shall not be charged with knowledge of any event or information, including any Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event, or be required to act (including the sending of any notice) upon any such event or information, including any Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event, unless a Responsible Officer of the Backup Servicer has actual knowledge

118

of such event or receives written notice of such event from the Borrower, the Servicer or any Secured Party, and shall have no duty to take action to determine whether any such event, default or Event of Default shall have occurred.

(i) The Backup Servicer shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability shall not be reasonably assured to it. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Backup Servicer shall not be liable for any obligation or the acts or omissions of the Borrower, the Servicer (so long as it is not the Successor Servicer, in which case it shall be obligated to perform as Servicer hereunder) or any other Person, contained in this Agreement, and the parties shall look only to such parties to perform such obligations, and the Backup Servicer may assume performance of such parties absent written notice or actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Backup Servicer to the contrary.

Section 7.10. Rights After Assumption of Duties by Successor Servicer; Liability. At any time following the assumption of the duties of the Servicer by the Backup Servicer or the designation of a Successor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.14 as a result of the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event:

(b) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, to take or cause to be taken any and all steps in the Borrower’s name and on behalf of the Borrower necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), to collect all amounts due under any and all of the Collateral with respect thereto, including endorsing the Borrower’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing the Receivables.

(c) The Backup Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of its obligations set forth in this Agreement or any obligations assumed by the Backup Servicer from the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.14. Such liability is limited to only those actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Backup Servicer and caused through its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Backup Servicer and, in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Backup Servicer may conclusively rely on the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished to the Backup Servicer and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.

119

(d) The Backup Servicer shall not be charged with knowledge of any event or information, including any Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event, or be required to act (including the sending of any notice) upon any such event or information, including any Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event, unless a Responsible Officer of the Backup Servicer has actual knowledge of such event or receives written notice of such event from the Borrower, the Servicer or any Secured Party, and shall have no duty to take action to determine whether any such event, default or Event of Default shall have occurred.

(e) The Backup Servicer shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it reasonably determines that the repayment of such funds or adequate written indemnity against such risks or liability is not available prior to the expenditure of such funds or the incurrence of financial liability. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Backup Servicer shall not be liable for any obligation or the acts or omissions of the Borrower, the Servicer (so long as it is not the Successor Servicer, in which case it shall be obligated to perform as Servicer hereunder) or any other Person, contained in this Agreement, and the parties shall look only to such parties to perform such obligations, and the Backup Servicer may assume performance of such parties absent written notice or actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Backup Servicer to the contrary.

Section 7.11. Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither the Servicer nor any of its directors or officers or employees or agents shall be under any liability to the Secured Parties, the Backup Servicer, the Image File Custodian or any other Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of its willful misconduct hereunder.

Section 7.12. The Servicer Not to Resign. The Servicer shall resign only if the Servicer provides an Opinion of Counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Agents and the Backup Servicer to the effect that it is no longer permitted by Applicable Law to act as Servicer

Section 7.14. Appointment of Successor Servicer.

(a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), until a date mutually agreed upon by the Servicer, the Backup Servicer (if the Backup Servicer becomes the Successor Servicer) and the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders); provided, however, that the Backup Servicer (if the Backup Servicer becomes the Successor Servicer) shall use its best efforts to effect the transition of the servicing and will assume the duties of the Servicer no more than 45 days after receipt by the Servicer and the Backup Servicer of the Servicer Termination Notice. The Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall, at the time described in the immediately preceding sentence, appoint the Backup Servicer as the Successor Servicer hereunder, and the Backup Servicer shall on such date assume all duties, liabilities and obligations of the Servicer hereunder from and after such date, and all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer except to the extent otherwise set forth herein.

In the event that a Successor Servicer has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000, that meets (or the parents of which meets) the Long-Term Ratings Requirement and whose regular business includes the servicing of consumer loans as the Successor Servicer hereunder.

122

(c) The Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall have the same rights of removal and termination for cause with respect to any Successor Servicer as with respect to Regional Management as the Servicer.

In no event shall the Successor Servicer be responsible for any Transition Expenses. If the predecessor Servicer fails to pay the Transition Expenses, the Transition Expenses shall be payable pursuant to Section 2.08.

(e) Upon the termination and removal of the Servicer and the assumption by the Successor Servicer hereunder, the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the rights and responsibilities of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all Collections that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or shall thereafter be received, with respect to a Receivable, the Collection Account, the Reserve Account and Servicer Files and other records maintained by the Servicer.

(f) Upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer; provided, however, that any Successor Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect to any obligation which was required to be performed by the predecessor Servicer prior to the date that the successor becomes the Successor Servicer or any claim based on any alleged action or inaction of the predecessor Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any repurchase or advancing obligations, if any, of the Servicer, (iii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer, (iv) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to any Basic Document and (v) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer, including Regional Management. The indemnification obligations of the Backup Servicer, upon becoming a successor Servicer are expressly limited to those instances of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Backup Servicer in its role as Successor Servicer.

(g) All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of the Servicer as servicer and shall pass to and be vested in the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Borrower in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing of the Receivables.

123

(h) The Administrative Agent may, solely for purposes of establishing the fee to be paid to the Backup Servicer or any other Successor Servicer after a notice of removal of the Servicer pursuant to this Article, solicit written bids (such bids to include a proposed servicer fee and servicing transfer costs) from not less than three entities experienced in the servicing of consumer loan receivables similar to the Receivables and that are not Affiliates of the Servicer or the Borrower and are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders). Any such written solicitation shall prominently indicate that bids should specify any applicable subservicing fees required to be paid from the Servicing Fee and that any fees and transfer costs in excess of the Servicing Fee shall be paid by the Borrower from amounts received pursuant to Section 2.08. The Borrower may also solicit additional bids from other such entities. The Successor Servicer shall act as Servicer hereunder and shall, subject to the availability of sufficient funds in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.08 (up to the Servicing Fee), receive as compensation therefor a fee equal to the fee proposed in the bid so solicited which provides for the lowest combinations of servicing fee and transition costs, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) and may revise the percentage used to calculate the Servicing Fee, which, if the Successor Servicer is the Backup Servicer, shall be revised as provided in Section 7.16(a) or, if the Backup Servicer is not the Successor Servicer, may be adjusted in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders).

(i) prior written notice of such consolidation, merger, succession or resignation shall be delivered by the Servicer to the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Image File Custodian and the Account Bank;

(ii) immediately after giving effect to such consolidation, merger, succession or resignation, no Servicer Termination Event and no event which after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and is continuing;

(iv) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Image File Custodian an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, succession or resignation and

124

such agreement of assumption comply with this Section and that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party relating to such transaction have been complied with; and

(v) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Image File Custodian an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that either: (A) in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements, continuation statements and amendments and notations on Certificates of Title thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Borrower, the Secured Parties and the Image File Custodian in the Receivables and reciting the details of such filings or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest.

If, however, a successor Backup Servicer is not appointed by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders within 30 days after the giving of notice of resignation or termination, the Backup Servicer may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Backup Servicer, with the cost of such petition (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) to be borne by the Borrower.

132

File Custodian of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation shall be, in the opinion of the Image File Custodian, not reasonably assured by the Borrower, the Image File Custodian may require indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding.

Except as provided in Section 9.04, the Image File Custodian shall not be under any liability to any Secured Party, the Borrower or any other Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in its capacity as Image File Custodian pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Image File Custodian against any liability which would be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties.

133

(b) The Image File Custodian may act in reliance upon any written communication of the Administrative Agent concerning the delivery of the Imaged Files for any of the Receivables and other items of Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

In no event shall the Image File Custodian have any responsibility to ascertain or take action with respect to the Imaged Files relating to any of the Receivables or other Collateral, except as expressly provided herein.

(c) If the Image File Custodian shall at any time receive conflicting instructions from the Administrative Agent and the Servicer or any other party to this Agreement and the conflict between such instructions cannot be resolved by reference to the terms of this Agreement, the Image File Custodian shall be entitled to rely on the instructions of the Administrative Agent. In the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Image File Custodian, the Image File Custodian may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, any Monthly Report, any Monthly Loan Tape, certificate of auditors, or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Image File Custodian may conclusively rely upon the validity of documents delivered to it, without investigation as to their authenticity or legal effectiveness, and the Servicer and the other parties to this Agreement will hold the Image File Custodian harmless from any claims that may arise or be asserted against the Image File Custodian because of the invalidity of any such documents or their failure to fulfill their intended purpose. The Image File Custodian shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement on the part of any party, except as may otherwise be specifically set forth herein. The Image File Custodian may consult with counsel of its choice with regard to legal questions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by the Image File Custodian in good faith in accordance therewith.

If any property subject hereto is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property

134

or any part hereof, then and in any of such events the Image File Custodian is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree with which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, and if it complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree it shall not be liable to any other party hereto or to any other Person by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

(e) The Image File Custodian may at any time resign and terminate its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that except as provided below, no such resignation or termination shall be effective until a successor Image File Custodian is appointed (and accepts such appointment) pursuant to the terms of this Section. Promptly after receipt of notice of the Image File Custodian’s intended resignation, the Borrower shall appoint, by written instrument, a successor Image File Custodian who shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders). If the Borrower fails to appoint a successor Image File Custodian pursuant to the terms hereof within 30 days after receipt of the Image File Custodian’s notice of resignation, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall have the exclusive right to appoint by written instrument, a successor Image File Custodian. If neither the Borrower nor the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) has appointed a successor Image File Custodian within 60 days after receipt of the Image File Custodian’s notice of resignation, the Image File Custodian may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Image File Custodian, with the cost of such petition (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) to be borne by the Borrower.

(f) Any corporation, banking association or trust company into which the Image File Custodian may be merged or converted or consolidated with, or any corporation, banking association or trust company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Image File Custodian shall be a party, or any corporation, banking association or trust company succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Image File Custodian, shall be the successor of the Image File Custodian hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

Section 9.07. Custody of Imaged Files.

(a) The Servicer and each Subservicer shall be authorized to transmit, and the Image File Custodian shall be authorized to accept, standalone .PDF files or other similar electronic mediums of the Imaged Files. The Image File Custodian shall retain such Imaged Files on its computer systems in accordance with Section 9.09. Prior to or contemporaneously with the delivery of any Imaged Files to the Image File Custodian, the Servicer or the Subservicer, as applicable, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Image File Custodian an Excel spreadsheet (or other similar electronic document reasonably acceptable to the Image File Custodian) (each, an “Imaged File Loan Schedule”) identifying the Receivables to which such Imaged Files relate.

(b) In receiving and reviewing any such Imaged File, the Image File Custodian shall be required only to review each document within any such Imaged File received to determine whether (1) each document in the Imaged File appears fully executed and (2) each Imaged File contains each of the following with respect to the applicable Receivable specified by the Servicer

135

or Subservicer, as applicable, in the applicable Imaged File Loan Schedule: (a) last name of Obligor, (b) Obligor’s account number, (c) whether such Receivable is a Hard Secured Receivable (with a certificate of title or not), (d) loan amount, (e) APR, (f) contract term (i.e., the number of payments), (g) branch state and (h) Obligor’s state of residence at time of origination (to the extent such information appears in the Imaged File). For the avoidance of doubt, if a Contract contained within an Imaged File is not fully executed, the Image File Custodian will specify that such Contract is not fully executed in the exception report attached to the related Custodian Certification.

(c) In connection with the Image File Custodian’s review of the Imaged Files relating to Receivables delivered to the Image File Custodian hereunder, (i) if less than 500 Imaged Files are delivered to the Image File Custodian on an Imaged File Delivery Date, the Image File Custodian shall execute and deliver to the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and each Lender a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Custodian Certification”) no later than the third (3rd) Business Day following such Imaged File Delivery Date; (ii) if more than 500 Imaged Files but less than 800 Imaged Files are delivered to the Image File Custodian on an Imaged File Delivery Date, the Image File Custodian shall execute and deliver to the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and each Lender a Custodian Certification no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following such Imaged File Delivery Date; (iii) if more than 800 Imaged Files but less than 1,500 Imaged Files are delivered to the Image File Custodian on an Imaged File Delivery Date, the Image File Custodian shall execute and deliver to the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and each Lender a Custodian Certification no later than the seventh (7th) Business Day following such Imaged File Delivery Date; and (iv) if more than 1,500 Imaged Files are delivered to the Image File Custodian on an Imaged File Delivery Date, the Image File Custodian shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver to the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and each Lender a Custodian Certification no later than the seventh (7th) Business Day following such Imaged File Delivery Date, but in no event later than the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following such Imaged File Delivery Date; provided, however, with respect to the review of Imaged Files relating to Receivables delivered to the Image File Custodian on the Closing Date, the Image File Custodian shall execute and deliver to the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and each Lender a Custodian Certification no later than the thirtieth (30th) Business Day following the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any single Custodian Certification may relate to one or more Imaged Files.

(d) In the event that an Authorized Officer of the Servicer (on its own behalf or on behalf of a Subservicer) requests that any Imaged File relating to a Receivable be removed from the Image File Custodian’s custody (x) as a result of a repurchase pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof, (y) for the purpose of correcting errors therein or (z) in order to comply with, or give effect to, any other provisions of the Basic Documents, the Servicer shall send a written request to the Image File Custodian, substantially in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto (each, a “Removal Request”). Within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such written request, the Image File Custodian shall delete the applicable Imaged File from the Image File Custodian’s system as directed by the Servicer in such Removal Request.

(e) In the event that the Backup Servicer is removed or resigns as Backup Servicer hereunder, the successor Backup Servicer shall automatically (and without further action) become the successor Image File Custodian. Any predecessor Image File Custodian shall take any actions reasonably requested by the Servicer in order to allow for a successor Image File Custodian to assume its duties and obligations hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that any Image File Custodian ceases to act in such capacity hereunder, (i) it shall promptly as practicable transfer any Imaged Files in its custody (or on its systems) to the successor Image

136

File Custodian and (ii) upon completing such transfer, promptly (except as required by its internal document retention policies) delete any Imaged Files in its custody (or on its systems) unless otherwise directed by the Servicer. The predecessor Image File Custodian shall be entitled to receive from the Servicer reimbursement of such predecessor Image File Custodian’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the performance of its duties under this Section 9.07(e).

(f) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the review contemplated by this Section 9.07 (the “Review”) is a review to be performed by the Image File Custodian solely for the purpose of acknowledging receipt of Imaged Files by the Image File Custodian. Any Custodian Certification related to such Review prepared by the Image File Custodian and furnished to the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and each Lender is produced solely in connection with this purpose. The Image File Custodian was not engaged to perform the Review, produce any Custodian Certification or perform any of the services in this Agreement for the purpose of making findings with respect to the accuracy of the information or data regarding the Receivables provided to the Image File Custodian hereunder for the Review as contemplated by Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act. Given the purpose and scope of the Image File Custodian’s services (including the Review and any Custodian Certification) under this Agreement and given the treatment and use of the Review and Custodian Certification, the parties hereto agree that the Image File Custodian’s Review is not commonly understood in the market to be “due diligence services” for purposes of Rule 17g-10. The parties hereto do not consider the Review and the delivery of any Custodian Certification to be “due diligence services” for purposes of Rule 17g-10, and shall not treat any Custodian Certification as a “third party due diligence report” for purposes of Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act. The other parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the Image File Custodian is relying on this certification for purposes of determining that its Review does not constitute “due diligence services” under Rule 17g-10.

Section 9.08. Further Agreements. The parties hereto further agree that:

(a) The Image File Custodian may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, approval, bond or any other paper or document (including any of the foregoing delivered in electronic format) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person or Persons. Nothing herein shall be construed to impose an obligation on the part of the Image File Custodian to investigate, evaluate, verify, independently determine or re-calculate any information, statement, representation or warranty or any fact or matter stated in, or the accuracy of, any such document and may conclusively rely as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein.

(b) Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, the Image File Custodian shall have no duty to conduct any investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable by any Person pursuant to this Agreement, or the eligibility of any Receivable for purposes of this Agreement.

137

(c) Before the Image File Custodian acts or refrains from taking any action under this Agreement, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and/or Opinion of Counsel from the party requesting that the Image File Custodian act or refrain from acting in form and substance acceptable to the Image File Custodian, the costs of which (including the Image File Custodian’s reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) shall be paid by the party requesting that the Image File Custodian act or refrain from acting. The Image File Custodian shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on any such Officer’s Certificate and/or Opinion of Counsel.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Image File Custodian shall not be liable for any loss or damage, or any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder if it is prevented from so performing its obligations by any reason which is beyond the control of the Image File Custodian, including by any existing or future law or regulation, any existing or future act of governmental authority, act of God, flood, war whether declared or undeclared, terrorism, riot, rebellion, civil commotion, other industrial action, general failure of electricity or other supply, technical failure, accidental or mechanical or electrical breakdown, computer failure or any event where, in the reasonable opinion of the Image File Custodian, performance of any duty or obligation under or pursuant to this Agreement would or may be illegal or would result in the Image File Custodian being in breach of any Applicable Law or practice, request, direction, notice, announcement or similar action of any Governmental Authority to which the Image File Custodian is subject.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Image File Custodian shall not be required to take any action that is not in accordance with Applicable Law.

(f) The right of the Image File Custodian to perform any permissive or discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement or any related document shall not be construed as a duty.

(g) Neither the Image File Custodian nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents will be responsible or liable for (i) the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any collateral securing the Receivables, for the legality, enforceability, effectiveness or sufficiency of the Basic Documents for the creation, perfection, continuation, priority, sufficiency or protection of any of the Liens, or for any defect or deficiency as to any such matters, or for any failure to demand, collect, foreclose or realize upon or otherwise enforce any of the liens or Basic Documents or any delay in doing so, or (ii) reviewing or determining the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of any chain of ownership (including endorsements or assignments related thereto) with respect to any Receivable or Receivable File.

(h) The Image File Custodian shall not be liable for any action or inaction of the Servicer, or any other party (or agent thereof) to this Agreement or any related document and may assume compliance by such parties with their obligations under this Agreement or any related agreements, unless a Responsible Officer of the Image File Custodian shall have obtained actual knowledge of such event or received written notice to the contrary at the address set forth below the name of the Image File Custodian on the signature pages hereof.

(i) Neither the Image File Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible in any manner to any of the Secured Parties for any recitals,

138

statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower, the Servicer, Regional Management, the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer or the Account Bank contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Basic Document to which it is a party for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other document furnished in connection herewith, or for any failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article Four.

(j) Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, neither the Image File Custodian’s preparation or receipt of any reports pursuant to this Agreement nor any other publicly available information available to the Image File Custodian shall constitute actual or constructive knowledge or written notice of any information contained therein.

(k) The Image File Custodian shall be entitled to any protection, privilege or indemnity afforded to the Account Bank under the terms of this Agreement.

Section 9.09. System Maintenance. The Image File Custodian will maintain or cause to be maintained gateways, hardware, software, systems it deems necessary or appropriate in order to, and otherwise maintain or caused to be maintained a technology platform that will enable the Image File Custodian to fulfill its obligations hereunder at all times.

Section 10.02. Actions Upon Declaration or the Automatic Occurrence of the Maturity Date. Upon the declaration or the automatic occurrence of the Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders, exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies otherwise available to it, including rights available hereunder and the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (such rights and remedies to be cumulative and nonexclusive), and, in addition, the

142

Administrative Agent shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders, take the following remedial actions:

(a) The Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Borrower except as required by Applicable Law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Loans Outstanding, any Interest accrued thereon and or any other amount due and owing to any Secured Party against amounts payable to the Borrower from the Accounts or any part of such Accounts in accordance with and subject to the priorities required by Section 2.08.

(b) The Administrative Agent may take any action permitted under the Basic Documents and may exercise at the Borrower’s sole expense any and all rights and remedies of the Borrower under or in connection with the Collateral, including directing that Collections be deposited into an account specified by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) (rather than to the Collection Account).

(c) Consistent with the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (and except as otherwise required by the UCC), the Administrative Agent may, without notice except as specified below, foreclose on the Collateral or any part of the Collateral, solicit and accept bids for and sell the Collateral or any part of the Collateral in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable and the Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds from the sale of the Collateral to any amounts payable by the Borrower with respect to the Obligations in accordance with the priorities required by Section 2.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Collateral or any part of the Collateral, at the direction of the Required Lenders following an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default described in Section 10.01(a)(i) or (a)(ii), unless: (A) 100% of the Lenders consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation will be sufficient to pay in full the Loans Outstanding and all accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans Outstanding or (C) the Administrative Agent determines that the Collateral will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal and interest on the Loans as they would have become due if the Loans had not been declared immediately due and payable, and the Administrative Agent obtains the consent of the Required Lenders. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C) above, the Administrative Agent may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as of the sufficiency of the Collateral for such purpose. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by Applicable Law, at least seven Business Days’ notice to the Borrower (with a copy to each Secured Party) of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so

143

adjourned. Every such sale shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever of the Borrower in and to the Collateral so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against the Borrower or any Person claiming the Collateral sold through the Borrower and its successors or assigns.

(d) Upon the completion of any sale under Section 10.02(c), the Borrower will deliver or cause to be delivered all of the Collateral sold to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale on the date of sale, or within a reasonable time thereafter if it shall be impractical to make immediate delivery, but in any event full title and right of possession to such property shall pass to such purchaser or purchasers forthwith upon the completion of such sale. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent or by any purchaser, the Borrower shall confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to such purchaser all proper instruments of conveyance and transfer and release as may be designated in any such request.

(e) At any sale under Section 10.02(c), Regional Management or any Secured Party may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor. Any Secured Party purchasing property at a sale under Section 10.02(c) may set off the purchase price of such property against amounts owing to such Secured Party in full payment of such purchase price up to the full amount owing to such Secured Party.

(f) The Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may direct the Servicer to direct Collections to an account other than the Lockbox or the Collection Account. The Administrative Agent and the Servicer agree to cooperate in good faith to provide the Servicer access to the information relating to the Collections deposited into such account in order for the Servicer to perform its related duties hereunder.

Section 10.03. Exercise of Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between the Borrower or the Servicer, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, any Agent or Secured Party, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies expressly provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Secured Parties would otherwise have pursuant to Applicable Law or equity. No notice to or demand on any party in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or constitute a waiver of the right of the other party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 10.04. Waiver of Certain Laws. The Borrower agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder

144

or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and the Borrower, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such Applicable Laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Administrative Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or such parcels as the Administrative Agent or such court may determine.

Section 10.05. Power of Attorney. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and deemed occurrence or declaration of the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 10.01(b), in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Article, including (i) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (ii) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (iii) 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, the Borrower thereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto and (iv) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Basic Document. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent, directly or through a purchaser of any of the Collateral, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent or such purchaser all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request. On the Closing Date, the Borrower and Regional Management shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a power of attorney in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 and Exhibit F-2, respectively.

In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent for the Secured Parties and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Borrower or any of its successors or assigns.

The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such event as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders, and each Agent shall take such action with respect to such event as shall be reasonably directed by (i) Owners in its Lender Group having Invested Percentages aggregating greater than 50% of the aggregate Invested Percentages of all Owners in such Lender Group and (ii) Committed Lenders in its Lender Group having Commitments aggregating greater than 50% of the aggregate Commitments of all Committed Lenders in such Lender Group; provided that unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such event as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders or of the Lenders in its Lender Group, as applicable.

Section 12.05. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, Regional Management, the Servicer, any Originator, the Backup Servicer or the Image File Custodian shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any

153

other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, Regional Management, each Originator, the Backup Servicer or the Image File Custodian and the Receivables and made its own decision to purchase its interest in the Notes hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under any of the Basic Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, Regional Management, each Originator, the Backup Servicer or the Image File Custodian and the Receivables. Except for notices, reports and other documents received by an Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, Regional Management, each Originator, the Backup Servicer or the Image File Custodian or the Receivables which may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

Section 12.06. Indemnification. The Committed Lenders (i) agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (without limiting the obligation (if any) of the Borrower or the Servicer to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any such amounts), ratably according to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have terminated, Invested Percentages of the Loans Outstanding that are Class A Loans or Class B Loans, as applicable) and (ii) in each Lender Group agree to indemnify the Agent for such Lender Group in its capacity as such (without limiting the obligation (if any) of the Borrower and the Servicer to reimburse such Agent for any such amounts), ratably according to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have terminated, Invested Percentages of the Loans Outstanding that are Class A Loans or Class B Loans, as applicable), in each case from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the obligations under this Agreement, including the Loans Outstanding) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of an Agent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of this Section shall survive the payment of the Obligations under this Agreement, including the Loans Outstanding, the termination of this Agreement, and any resignation or removal of the applicable Agent.

Section 12.07. Each Agent in its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and any other party to a Basic Document as though it were not an Agent hereunder. In addition, the Lenders acknowledge that one or more Persons which are Agents may act (i) as administrator, sponsor or agent for one or more Conduit Lenders and in such capacity act and may continue to act on behalf of each such Conduit Lender in connection with its business, and (ii) as the agent for certain financial institutions under the liquidity and credit enhancement agreements relating to this Agreement to which any one or more Conduit Lenders is party and in various other capacities relating to the business of any such Conduit Lender under various agreements. Any such Person, in its capacity as Agent, shall not, by virtue of its acting in any such other capacities, be deemed to have duties or responsibilities hereunder or be held to a

154

standard of care in connection with the performance of its duties as an Agent other than as expressly provided in this Agreement. Any Person which is an Agent may act as an Agent without regard to and without additional duties or liabilities arising from its role as such administrator or agent or arising from its acting in any such other capacity. None of the provisions to this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.

Section 12.08. Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon ten days’ written notice to the Lenders, each Agent and the Borrower with such resignation becoming effective upon a successor agent succeeding to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent pursuant to this Section. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor administrative agent, which may be a lender. Any Agent may resign as Agent upon ten days’ notice to the Lenders in its Lender Group, the Administrative Agent and each other Agent and the Borrower with such resignation becoming effective upon a successor agent succeeding to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent pursuant to this Section. If an Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement, then (i) Owners in its Lender Group having Invested Percentages aggregating greater than 50% of the aggregate Invested Percentages of all Owners in such Lender Group, and (ii) Committed Lenders in its Lender Group having Commitments aggregating greater than 50% of the aggregate Commitments of all Committed Lenders in such Lender Group shall appoint from among the Committed Lenders (other than the Conduit Lenders) in such Lender Group a successor agent for such Lender Group. Any successor administrative agent or agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of resigning Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Agent,” as applicable, shall mean such successor administrative agent or agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After the retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

Section 12.09. Borrower, Servicer Reliance. For all purposes under this Agreement, the Borrower and the Servicer may conclusively rely on written consent, approval or waiver from the Administrative Agent as consent, approval or waiver, respectively, of the Required Lenders.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN

ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

Section 13.01. Assignments and Participations.

(a) Each Lender agrees that each Note or interests therein owned by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement will be acquired for investment only and not with a view to any public distribution thereof, and that such Lender will not offer to sell or otherwise dispose of the Notes or the interest therein so acquired by it (or any interest therein) in violation of any of the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any applicable State securities laws. Each Lender hereby confirms and agrees that, in connection with any syndication, offering, transfer or sale by it of any interest in the Notes, such Lender has not engaged and will not engage in a general solicitation or general advertising.

(b) Each Lender may upon at least ten days’ notice (or in the case of an assignment to an Eligible Assignee satisfying clause (ii) of the definition of the term “Eligible Assignee”, prompt notice following such assignment) to the Administrative Agent and the Agents, assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying percentage of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than the lesser of (A) $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount (except in the case of an assignment to an Eligible Assignee satisfying clause (ii) of the definition of the term “Eligible Assignee”) and (B) the full amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and in the case of an assignment by a Committed Lender at any time its Commitments remain outstanding, such Eligible Assignee shall agree to the Commitment of such Committed Lender hereunder, (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 or such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent (provided that in the case of an assignment to an Eligible Assignee satisfying clause (ii) of the definition of the term “Eligible Assignee”, such recordation fee shall not apply), (v) the parties to each such assignment shall have agreed to reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with such assignment, (vi) each Person that becomes a Lender under an Assignment and Acceptance shall agree to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of Article Thirteen and (vii) there shall be no increased costs, expenses or Taxes incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders upon assignment or participation. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance and the recording by the Administrative Agent, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be the date of acceptance thereof by the Administrative Agent, unless a later date is specified therein, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been

156

assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of such financial statements and other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iii) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (iv) such assigning Lender and such assignee confirm that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to such agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Borrower, shall maintain at its United States address referred to herein a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names, addresses and Commitment of each Lender and the Principal Amount (and stated interest thereon) of each Loan made by such Lender from time to time (the “Lender Register”). The entries in the Lender Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Lender Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Lender Register shall be available for inspection by any Agent or Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Subject to the provisions of Section 13.01(a), upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, accept such Assignment and Acceptance, and the Administrative Agent shall then record the information contained therein in the Lender Register.

(f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and each Loan owned by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such

157

obligations and (iii) the Administrative Agent, each Agent, the other Lenders and the other parties hereto shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each participant shall have the rights of a Lender (including any right to receive payment) under Sections 2.13 and 2.14; provided, however, that no participant shall be entitled to receive payment under either such Section in excess of the amount that would have been payable under such Section by the Borrower to the Lender granting its participation had such participation not been granted, and no Lender granting a participation shall be entitled to receive payment under either such Section in an amount which exceeds the sum of (1) the amount to which such Lender is entitled under such Section with respect to any portion of any Loan owned by such Lender which is not subject to any participation plus (2) the aggregate amount to which its participants are entitled under such Sections with respect to the amounts of their respective participations. With respect to any participation described in this Section, the participant’s rights as set forth in the agreement between such participant and the applicable Lender to agree to or to restrict such Lender’s ability to agree to any modification, waiver or release of any of the terms of this Agreement or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which such Lender may have under or in respect of this Agreement shall be limited to the right to consent to any of the matters set forth in Section 13.01. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, no Lender may sell a participation to any other person without first sending written notice to the Borrower informing it of such Lender’s intention to make such sale, including the name of the proposed participant.

(g) Each Lender that sells a participation shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (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 Commitment or Loan, letter of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or as reasonably necessary for the Borrower, the Servicer or the Administrative Agent to comply with their respective withholding and reporting obligations under FATCA. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) nor any Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have any responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(h) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning as collateral any of its rights under this Agreement to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank or any other Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, (ii) any Lender, any Agent or the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof in connection with any financing or repurchase agreement entered into by such Lender or (iii) a collateral trustee or security agent for holders of commercial paper and, in each case, any such pledge or Collateral assignment may be made without compliance with Section 13.01(a) or 13.01(b). Furthermore, nothing herein shall prohibit or limit the ability of any Conduit Lender to sell or assign all or any portion of its Loans (or interests therein) to its Credit Providers (or to an agent on its or their behalf) pursuant to Liquidity Facilities with respect to such Conduit Lender.

Each of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer and the Image File Custodian, severally and with respect to itself only, covenants and agrees to hold in confidence, and not disclose to any Person, the terms of this Agreement (including any fees payable in connection with this Agreement or the identity of the Lenders under this Agreement), except as the Administrative Agent or any such Lender may have consented to in writing prior to any proposed disclosure and except that it may disclose such information (i) to its Advisors, officers, directors, employees, lenders, investors, potential investors, agents, auditors, subservicers or representatives, (ii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through the Borrower, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer or the Image File Custodian, (iii) to Credit Suisse, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association or their respective Affiliates or (iv) to the extent it should be (a) required by Applicable Law (including filing a copy of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents (other than any fee related letters)) as exhibits to filings required to be made with the SEC, or in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding, (b) requested by any Governmental Authority to disclose such information or (c) requested by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization; provided, that, in the case of clause (iv)(a), the Borrower, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer and the Image File Custodian, as applicable, will (unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law) notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of its intention to make any such disclosure prior to making such disclosure.

Confidential Information may not be provided to prospective participants or assignees before the execution of an Assignment and Acceptance, unless such Confidential Information is covered under a separate confidentiality agreement between the assigning Lender and such prospective participant or assignee.

(b) Each of the Backup Servicer, any Successor Servicer and the Image File Custodian acknowledges and understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information” as that term is defined in Section 6809(4) of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act (the “Act”), and each of the Backup Servicer, any Successor Servicer and the Image File Custodian, and each of its employees, Affiliates, directly involved in the transaction contemplated by the Basic Documents, agrees that it (i) shall comply with applicable laws and regulations regarding the privacy or security of “nonpublic personal information” as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Act, (ii) shall implement such physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the “customers” and “consumers” (as those terms are defined in the Act) of the Regional Entities which party may hold, (b) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (c) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal information, (iii) shall promptly notify the Regional Entities in writing upon becoming aware of any actual breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information received hereunder, and (iv) shall maintain such nonpublic personal information received hereunder in accordance with the Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws.

The Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Backup Servicer, any Successor Servicer and the Image File Custodian agree that if the Borrower and/or Regional Management should request in writing that it destroy or return the Confidential Information, it

160

shall, at its option, return or destroy such Confidential Information; provided that it shall be permitted to retain only that portion of the Confidential Information, in accordance with the confidentiality obligations specified in this Agreement, that is necessary (i) for purposes of documenting any due diligence review performed by it in connection with this Agreement and (ii) to comply with any Applicable Laws or the internal document retention policies of the Administrative Agent, any Agent, any Lender, the Backup Servicer, any Successor Servicer or the Image File Custodian.

(e) Each of the Administrative Agent, each Agent, each Lender, the Backup Servicer, any Successor Servicer and the Image File Custodian acknowledges that all Confidential Information is considered to be proprietary and of competitive value, and in many instances trade secrets. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Agent, each Lender, the Backup Servicer, any Successor Servicer and the Image File Custodian agrees that because of the unique nature of the Confidential Information any breach of this Agreement may cause the Borrower, Regional Management and their respective Affiliates irreparable harm and money damages and other remedies available at law in the event of a breach may not be adequate to compensate the Borrower, Regional Management and their Affiliates for any such breach. Accordingly, each of the Administrative Agent, each Agent, each Lender, the Backup Servicer, any Successor Servicer and the Image File Custodian acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower, Regional Management and their respective Affiliates shall be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach.

The Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Backup Servicer, any Successor Servicer and the Image File Custodian may disclose, without liability hereunder, that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information that it is legally compelled to disclose; provided that it agrees to use reasonable efforts, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower and Regional Management, to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information by the person or persons to whom it was disclosed.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that the Administrative Agent, each Agent, each Lender, the Backup Servicer, any Successor Servicer and the Image File Custodian or their Affiliates may be required to disclose (and may so disclose) the Confidential Information or portions thereof at the request of a Governmental Authority or in connection with an examination of it or its Affiliates by a Governmental Authority, including in connection with the regulator compliance policy of Administrative Agent, any Agent, any Lender, the Backup Servicer, any Successor Servicer and the Image File Custodian. No notice shall be required in connection with any disclosures made pursuant to any request or examination by any Governmental Authority.

161

(h) It is understood and agreed that no failure or delay by the Servicer, the Borrower, the Backup Servicer, the Successor Servicer, the Image File Custodian, the Administrative Agent, any Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder.

(i) The provisions of this Section 14.02 shall survive for two years following the termination of this Agreement.

Section 14.03. Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment and Tax Structure.

In this regard, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that this disclosure of the structure or tax aspects of the transactions is not limited in any way by an express or implied understanding or agreement, oral or written (whether or not such understanding or agreement is legally binding) except as is reasonably necessary to comply with state and federal securities laws. Furthermore, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that it does not know or have reason to know that its use or disclosure of information relating to the structure or tax aspects of the transactions is limited in any other manner (such as where the transactions are claimed to be proprietary or exclusive) for the benefit of any other Person (other than as it may be limited by State or federal securities laws).

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders.

(ii) amend any provision of Schedule B,

(iii) change any provision of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Event of Default,” “Facility Amortization Event” or “Servicer Termination Event”, or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder,

(iv) amend or change the definition of “Class A Advance Rate”, “Total Advance Rate”, “Class A Borrowing Base”, “Total Borrowing Base”, “Class A Borrowing Base Deficiency”, “Total Borrowing Base Deficiency”, “Annualized Charge-off Ratio”, “Concentration Limits”, “Level I Trigger Event”, “Level II Trigger Event”, “Level III Trigger Event”, “Class A Monthly Principal Amount”, “Class B Monthly Principal Amount”, “Total Required Collateralization Percentage”, “Reserve Account Required Amount”, “Senior Interest” or “Subordinate Interest”.

163

provided further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Account Bank, the Backup Servicer or the Image File Custodian hereunder without the prior written consent of the Account Bank, the Backup Servicer or the Image File Custodian, as the case may be (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided further, that the Fee Letter may only be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in writing executed by the parties thereto and with the written consent of the Required Lenders.

No amendment, waiver or other modification which could have a material adverse effect on the rights or obligations of any Hedge Counterparty shall be effective against such Hedge Counterparty without the prior written agreement of such Hedge Counterparty.

(c) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall, without the written consent of each Lender waive any condition set forth in Section 4.01; provided further, that no such agreement shall waive the rights or duties of the Account Bank, the Backup Servicer, the Hedge Counterparty or the Image File Custodian hereunder without the prior written consent of the Account Bank, the Backup Servicer, the Hedge Counterparty or the Image File Custodian, as the case may be.
