PURCHASE OF THE VARIABLE FUNDING NOTES

Section 2.1. The Variable Funding Notes.

(a) The Seller heretofore delivered or shall, on the date hereof (and on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth), deliver, to the Purchaser Agents for each applicable Purchaser, at the applicable address set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement, duly executed amended and restated variable funding notes (the “Variable Funding Notes” or the “VFNs”), in substantially the form of Exhibit B, in an aggregate face amount equal to the Commitment of such Purchaser Agent’s related Purchaser, and otherwise duly completed. Each Variable Funding Note evidences, and at all times on and after the date hereof shall continue to evidence, an undivided ownership interest in the Assets purchased by each applicable Purchaser in an amount equal, at any time, to the percentage equivalent of a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the Advances outstanding under the applicable VFN on such day, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total aggregate Advances Outstanding on such day. Interest shall accrue on each VFN, and each VFN shall be payable, as described herein.”

(b) On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, during the Revolving Period, the Seller may, at its option, request the Purchasers to make advances of funds under the applicable VFNs in an aggregate amount up to the applicable Advance Amount for such VFN (an “Advance” and collectively, the “Advances”) and each such Purchaser shall make its Advance in an amount equal to its ratable share of the aggregate Commitments; provided, that in no event shall a Purchaser make any Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance the aggregate Advances Outstanding hereunder would exceed the lesser of (i) the Facility Amount and (ii) the Maximum Availability. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, no Purchaser shall be obligated to provide its Purchaser Agent or the Seller with aggregate funds in connection with an Advance that would exceed such Purchaser’s unused Commitment then in effect.

(c) The Seller may, within 120 days but not less than 90 days prior to (i) the expiration of any Liquidity Agreement in the case of an extension of any Liquidity Agreement or (ii) the Scheduled Termination Date in the case of an extension of the Scheduled Termination Date under this Agreement, by written notice to each Purchaser Agent, make a request for each Liquidity Bank, or Purchaser, in the case of the extension of the Scheduled Termination Date, to extend the term of such Liquidity Agreement, or the Scheduled Termination Date, as the case may be, for an additional period of 364 days. Each Purchaser Agent will give prompt notice to the applicable Purchaser and each applicable Liquidity Bank of its receipt of such request, and each Purchaser and each Liquidity Bank shall make a determination, in their sole discretion, not more than 30 days following the date it actually receives such written request by the Seller as to whether or not it will agree to the extension requested. Each Liquidity Bank and each Purchaser will give written notice to the Administrative Agent of its agreement to extend or its decision not to extend. The Administrative Agent shall promptly inform the Seller, the Servicer and Xxxxx’x of each such decision. The failure of a Purchaser or a Liquidity Bank to provide timely notice of its decision to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to constitute a refusal by such Purchaser or such Liquidity Bank, as applicable, to extend the Scheduled Termination Date or the term of the

Liquidity Agreement, respectively. The Seller confirms that each Liquidity Bank and each Purchaser, in their sole and absolute discretion, without regard to the value or performance of the Assets or any other factor, may elect not to extend any Liquidity Agreement or the Scheduled Termination Date, as applicable.

(d) The Seller may, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, add additional Persons as Purchasers or cause an existing Purchaser to increase its Commitment in connection with a corresponding increase in the Facility Amount; provided, however, that the Commitment of any Purchaser may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Purchaser. Each new Purchaser shall become a party hereto, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Seller, an assumption agreement or other form of joinder or commitment agreement evidencing its assumed Commitment hereunder (which agreement or agreements shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the parties hereto hereby understands and agrees that: (i) following the addition of a Purchaser or an increase in a Commitment pursuant to Section 2.1(d) and until such date thereafter as the outstanding Advances of each Purchaser equal such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of all Advances Outstanding, the Seller may request Advances, on a non pro rata basis, from the Purchasers whose outstanding Advances do not yet equal their respective Pro Rata Shares of all Advances Outstanding on the date so requested (it being understood that such requests shall, in any event, be made ratably among such Purchasers based on their respective Commitments) and (ii) prior to the Amortization Period, and so long as (x) no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing at such time and (y) the aggregate of all Advances Outstanding at such time, after giving effect thereto, does not exceed the lesser of (i) the Facility Amount and (ii) the Maximum Availability, the Seller may, solely with respect to any Purchaser whose Commitment has expired and/or been reduced to zero or, following the date hereof, amended downward, but whose Advances outstanding have not yet been repaid to an amount that is not greater than such reduced Commitment, use the proceeds of Advances to reduce such outstanding Advances of such Purchasers until, their respective outstanding Advances are equal to their respective Commitments (as so reduced) hereunder (it being understood that any such payments shall be made ratably among such Purchasers based on their respective outstanding Advances).

Section 2.2. Procedures for Advances.

(a) Each Advance hereunder shall be effected by the Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) delivering to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent (with a copy to the Trustee and the Backup Servicer) a duly completed Borrowing Notice in the form of Exhibit A-1 (along with a Borrowing Base Certificate) no later than 2:00 p.m. at least two Business Days’ prior to the proposed Funding Date. Each Borrowing Notice (along with a Borrowing Base Certificate) shall (i) specify the desired amount of such Advance, which amount must be at least equal to $500,000 per Purchaser, (ii) specify the date of such Advance, (iii) specify the Loans to be transferred on such Funding Date (including the name of each Obligor, the Outstanding Loan Balance for each Loan, and identifying each Loan by Type of Loan) and (iv) include a representation that all conditions precedent for an Advance described in Article III hereof have been met. Each Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable.

(b) On each Funding Date, each Purchaser shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make available to the Seller in same day funds, at such bank or other location reasonably designated by Seller in its Borrowing Notice given pursuant to this Section 2.2, an amount determined pursuant to Section 2.1(b).

(c) On each Funding Date, the obligation of each Purchaser to remit its Pro Rata Share of any such Advance shall be several from that of each other Purchaser and the failure of any Purchaser to so make such amount available to the Seller shall not relieve any other Purchaser of its obligation hereunder.

(d) If any Liquidity Bank (an “Exiting Liquidity Bank”) exercises its right not to extend or renew the term of its Liquidity Commitment in connection with the Liquidity Agreement related to this Agreement, as described in Section 2.1(c), above, the Commitment of the related Purchaser to such Liquidity Bank shall be automatically reduced on the date the term of such Liquidity Commitment expires by an amount equal to the amount of such Exiting Liquidity Bank’s Liquidity Commitment under the related Liquidity Agreement, and such Purchaser shall, on each Payment Date thereafter during the Revolving Period be entitled to receive payments in accordance with Section 2.7(a) in respect of its Required Purchaser Reduction Amount, if any, at such time.

(e) If all of the Liquidity Banks related to a Purchaser exercise their right not to extend or renew the term of their Liquidity Commitments in connection with the related Liquidity Agreement, as described in Section 2.1(c), above, the Commitment of the related Purchaser to such Liquidity Banks shall be automatically reduced to zero on the date the term of such Liquidity Commitment expires, and such Purchaser shall, on each Payment Date thereafter during the Revolving Period be entitled to receive payments in accordance with Section 2.7(a) in respect of its Required Purchaser Reduction Amount, if any, at such time. If a Purchaser exercises its right not to extend the Scheduled Termination Date, (A) the Commitment of such Purchaser shall automatically be reduced to zero and (B) the Facility Amount shall automatically be reduced by the amount of such Purchaser’s Commitment on the Scheduled Termination Date, and such Purchaser shall, on each Payment Date thereafter during the Revolving Period, be entitled to receive payments in accordance with Section 2.7(a) in respect of its Required Purchaser Reduction Amount, if any, at such time. If on any date one or more Purchasers choose to extend the Scheduled Termination Date, then the Scheduled Termination Date shall be extended as to such Purchasers.

Section 2.3. Reduction of the Facility Amount; Mandatory and Optional Repayments.

(a) The Seller may, upon at least 30 Business Days’ prior written notice (such notice, in the form of Exhibit A-3, to be received by the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. on such day) to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the portion of the Facility Amount that exceeds the sum of the Advances Outstanding, accrued Interest, Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs; provided, however, that each partial reduction of the Facility Amount pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) shall be in an aggregate amount equal to at least $1,000,000 and shall reduce the applicable Commitments of the Purchasers ratably based on their respective Pro Rata Shares. Each notice of reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) shall be irrevocable.

(b) The Seller may at any time and from time to time upon two Business Days’ prior written notice (such notice, in the form of Exhibit A-3, to be received by the Administrative Agent, each Hedge Counterparty and each Purchaser Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. on such day) to the Administrative Agent, each Hedge Counterparty and each Purchaser Agent, reduce the Advances Outstanding by remitting, in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, to each Purchaser Agent, for payment to the respective Purchasers, (i) cash and (ii) instructions to reduce such Advances Outstanding; provided, that, no such reduction shall be given effect (1) unless the Seller has complied with the terms of any Hedging Agreement requiring that one or more Hedge Transactions be terminated in whole or in part as the result of any such reduction of the Advances Outstanding, and Seller has paid all Hedge Breakage Costs owing to the relevant Hedge Counterparty for any such termination, (2) if a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event would result from such reduction or (3) during the Amortization Period unless such prepayment is made solely from the proceeds of a capital contribution and not from Collections. Any reduction of the Advances Outstanding shall be in a minimum amount of the greater of (a) $1,000,000 (or any lesser amount as may be applied by the Seller to reduce Advances Outstanding concurrently with a reduction of the Facility Amount pursuant to Section 2.3(c)) and (b) the minimum amount required to pay the Hedge Breakage Costs related to the reduced portion of Advances Outstanding. Any such reduction will occur only if sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all such amounts in the succeeding sentence in full. Upon receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts first to the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding, and second to the payment of any Hedge Breakage Costs. Any related accrued Interest and Breakage Costs related to such reduction of Advances shall be paid by the Seller on the immediately succeeding Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.7 or Section 2.8, as applicable. Any notice relating to any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) shall be irrevocable.

(c) During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the last day of the Revolving Period, the Facility Amount shall be automatically reduced as of the Payment Date in the next calendar month by an amount equal to the sum of (i) for so long as the Facility Amount exceeds $150,000,000, 80% of (A) the Net Proceeds actually received and available to be retained by the Seller from the sale or other monetization of Assets pursuant to Section 2.17 and (B) the aggregate Principal Collections received during such period, plus (ii) 7.5% of the Net Proceeds actually received and available to be retained by the Originator from the sale of any of its unencumbered investment assets to a third party (up to an aggregate amount equal to $7,500,000), and the Commitments of the Purchasers shall be concurrently reduced ratably based on their respective Pro Rata Shares of such amount. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.3(c) shall be construed to give the Seller recourse to the proceeds realized by the Originator in connection with any sale referenced in clause (ii) above for the purpose of reducing Advanced Outstanding hereunder.

Section 2.4. Determination of Interest.

Each applicable Purchaser Agent shall determine the CP Rate or other rate, as applicable, for its related Purchaser (including unpaid Interest related thereto, if any, due and payable to a prior Payment Date) to be paid by the Seller with respect to each Advance on each Payment Date for the related Accrual Period and shall advise the Servicer thereof on the third Business Day prior to such Payment Date.

Section 2.5. [Reserved].

Section 2.6. Notations on Variable Funding Notes.

The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to enter on a schedule attached to each VFN a notation (which may be computer generated) with respect to each Advance under such VFN made by each Purchaser of: (a) the date and principal amount thereof, and (b) each repayment of principal thereof, and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded. The failure of the Administrative Agent to make any such notation on the schedule attached to any VFN shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Seller to repay the Advances in accordance with their respective terms as set forth herein.

(a) If either (i) the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by an Affected Party with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (a) subject an Affected Party to any Tax (except for Taxes on the overall net income of such Affected Party), duty or other charge with respect to any ownership interest in the Assets, or any right or obligation to make Advances hereunder, or on any payment made hereunder, (b) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve requirement, if any, included in the determination of Interest), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the amount of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party or (c) impose any other condition affecting the ownership interest in the Assets conveyed to the Purchasers hereunder or any Affected Party’s rights hereunder or under any Transaction Document or any Liquidity Agreement, the result of which is to increase the cost to any Affected Party or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement, under any Transaction Document or Liquidity Agreement, then within 10 days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Seller shall pay in accordance with Section 2.7(a) and Section 2.8 directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered.

(b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other governmental authority or agency (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation, compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, 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 10 days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Seller shall pay in accordance with Section 2.7(a) and Section 2.8 directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, if any interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (including Interpretation No. 46: Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (or any future statement or interpretation issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or any successor thereto)), causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the assets and liabilities of the

Originator, the Depositor, the Seller or any Purchaser with the assets and liabilities of the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or any Liquidity Bank or shall otherwise impose any loss, cost, expense, reduction of return on capital or other loss, such event shall constitute a circumstance on which such Affected Party may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 2.13.

(c) If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.13, any Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then within 10 days after demand by such Affected Party, the Seller shall pay in accordance with Section 2.7(a) and Section 2.8 to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts payable or paid by it.

(d) In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.13, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(e) If the applicable Purchaser shall notify their respective Purchaser Agent that a Eurodollar Disruption Event as described in clause (a) of the definition of “Eurodollar Disruption Event” has occurred, such Purchaser Agent shall in turn so notify the Seller, whereupon all Advances Outstanding of the affected Purchaser in respect of which Interest accrues at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall immediately be converted into Advances Outstanding in respect of which Interest accrues at the Base Rate.

Section 2.14. Taxes.

(a) All payments made by an Obligor in respect of a Loan and all payments made by the Seller 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. If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, any Affected Party, any Indemnified Party or any Secured Party, then the amount payable to such Person will be increased (such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that every net payment made under this Agreement after withholding for or on account of any Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes on such increase) is not less than the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been deducted or withheld. The foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts, however, will not apply with respect to net income or franchise taxes imposed on the Purchasers, any Affected Party, the Administrative Agent or the Purchaser Agents, respectively, with respect to payments required to be made by the Seller or Servicer under this Agreement, by a taxing jurisdiction in which the Purchasers, any Affected Party, the Administrative Agent or the Purchaser Agents, are organized, conducts business or is paying taxes (as the case may be).

(b) The Seller will indemnify each Affected Party in accordance with Section 2.7(a) and Section 2.8 for the full amount of Taxes payable by such Person in respect of Additional Amounts and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.

(c) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Seller of any Taxes, the Seller will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each of the Purchaser Agents at its address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof, appropriate evidence of payment thereof.

(d) If a Purchaser is not created or organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, such Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, (i) within 15 days after the date hereof, two (or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms or other certificates or statements that may be required from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities or Applicable Laws), as appropriate, and any other necessary certifications to permit the Seller to make payments hereunder for the account of such Purchaser without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes and (ii) upon the obsolescence of or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in, any form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.14(d), copies (in such numbers as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws or regulations) of such additional, amended or successor forms, certificates or statements as may be required under Applicable Laws or regulations to permit the Seller and the Servicer to make payments hereunder for the account of such Purchaser without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes. Any Purchaser that is a United States Person, as defined in the Code, shall deliver to the Seller with a copy to the Administrative Agent, two executed copies of IRS Form W-9.

(e) If, in connection with an agreement or other document providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to the Purchasers in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, the Purchasers are required to compensate a bank or other financial institution in respect of Taxes under circumstances similar to those described in this Section 2.14, then, within 10 days after demand by the Purchasers, the Seller shall pay in accordance with Section 2.7(a) or Section 2.8 directly to the Purchasers such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse the Purchasers for any amounts paid by them.

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Seller contained in this Section 2.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.15. Assignment of the Originator Sale Agreement and the Depositor Sale Agreement.

The Seller hereby assigns to the Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to, but none of its obligations under, the Originator Sale Agreement, the Depositor Sale Agreement and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Seller hereby assigns to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, its right to

indemnification under Article VIII of the Originator Sale Agreement and Article VIII of the Depositor Sale Agreement, respectively. The Seller confirms that the Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the sole right to enforce the Seller’s rights and remedies under the Originator Sale Agreement, the Depositor Sale Agreement and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

Section 2.16. Substitution of Loans.

On any day prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event (and after a Termination Event, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Purchaser Agents), the Seller may, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.16 and subject to the other restrictions contained herein, replace any Loan with one or more Eligible Loans (each, a “Substitute Loan”); provided, that, no such replacement shall occur unless each of the following conditions is satisfied as of the date of such replacement and substitution:

As compensation therefor, the Backup Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee, together with other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise as provided herein; including, without limitation,

In the event that the Administrative Agent does not so appoint the Backup Servicer, there is no Backup Servicer or the Backup Servicer is unable to assume such obligations on such date, the Administrative Agent shall as promptly as possible appoint a successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent. 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 shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution, having a net worth of not less than United States $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of Assets, as the Successor Servicer hereunder.

(b) Upon its appointment, the Backup Servicer (subject to Section 6.16(a)) or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, 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 Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable; provided, however, that the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall have (i) no liability with respect to any action performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, becomes the successor to the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any advancing obligations, if any, of the Servicer unless it elects to in its sole discretion, (iii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer (provided, that, the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall pay any income taxes for which it is liable), (iv) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the transactions contemplated hereby, and (v) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer, including the original Servicer. The indemnification obligations of the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, upon becoming a Successor Servicer, are expressly limited to those arising on account of its failure to act in good faith and with reasonable care under the circumstances. In addition, the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Servicer contained in Article IV.

(c) All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of this Agreement and shall pass to and be vested in the Seller and, without limitation, the Seller 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 Seller in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing of the Assets.

(d) Upon the Backup Servicer receiving notice that it is required to serve as the Servicer hereunder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.16, the Backup Servicer will promptly begin the transition to its role as Servicer. As compensation, any Successor Servicer (including, without limitation, the Backup Servicer and the Administrative Agent) so appointed shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee, together with any other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise as provided herein, including,

117

without limitation, Transition Expenses. If the Backup Servicer has become the Servicer hereunder, it shall not resign as servicer until a Successor Servicer has been appointed and accepted such appointment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Xxxxx Fargo, in any capacity, be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any Successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for by this Agreement.

(ii) The Administrative Agent may direct the Trustee to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Trustee hereunder, the Trustee shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Trustee, (x) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Trustee to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received a reasonably satisfactory indemnity with respect thereto).

Neither any applicable Purchaser Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except for its, their or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to its related Purchaser for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Seller, the Depositor, the Originator or the Servicer contained in any Transaction Document or any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, any Transaction Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith, or for any failure of the Seller, the Depositor, the Originator or the Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in this Agreement, or for the perfection, priority, condition, value or sufficiency of any collateral pledged in connection herewith. Such Purchaser Agent shall not be under any obligation to its related Purchaser to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Seller, the Depositor, the Originator or the Servicer.

(x) Reliance by Purchaser Agents. Each applicable Purchaser Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Seller or the Servicer), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Purchaser Agent. Such Purchaser Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of its related Purchaser as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by its Purchaser; provided, that, unless and until such Purchaser Agent shall have received such advice, such Purchaser Agent may take or refrain from taking any action as such Purchaser Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of its related Purchaser. Each applicable Purchaser Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of its related Purchaser, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon its related Purchaser.

(e) Non-Reliance on Purchaser Agent. Each applicable Purchaser expressly acknowledges that neither its related Purchaser 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 such Purchaser Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Seller or the Servicer, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Purchaser Agent. Each applicable Purchaser represents and warrants to its related Purchaser Agent that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon such Purchaser Agent, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Seller, the Depositor, the Originator and the Servicer and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto.

(f) Purchaser Agents are in their Respective Individual Capacities. Each applicable Purchaser Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller as though such Purchaser Agent were not a Purchaser Agent hereunder. With respect to Advances pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not a Purchaser Agent, and the terms “Purchaser,” and “Purchasers,” shall include such Purchaser Agent in its individual capacity.

(g) Successor Purchaser Agents. Each applicable Purchaser Agent may, upon five days’ notice to the Seller and its related Purchaser, and such Purchaser Agent will, upon the direction of its related Purchaser resign as the Purchaser Agent for such Purchaser. If such Purchaser Agent shall resign, then its related Purchaser during such five day period shall appoint a successor agent. If for any reason no successor agent is appointed by such Purchaser during such five day period, then effective upon the termination of such five day period, and the Seller shall make all payments in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids directly to such Purchaser, and for all

140

purposes shall deal directly with such Purchaser. After any retiring Purchaser Agent’s resignation hereunder as a Purchaser Agent, the provisions of Articles XI and XII shall inure to its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Purchaser Agent under this Agreement.

(e) The provisions of this Section 13.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 13.12. Protection of Right, Title and Interest in the Assets; Further Action Evidencing Advances.

(a) The Servicer shall cause this Agreement, all amendments hereto and/or all financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the right, title and interest of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties and of the Secured Parties to the Assets to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder to all property comprising the Assets.

This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller will, not earlier than six months and not later than three months prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of filing of the financing statement referred to in Section 3.1 or any other financing statement filed pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with any Advance hereunder, unless the Collection Date shall have occurred:

(1) authorize and deliver and file or cause to be filed an appropriate continuation statement with respect to such financing statement; and

(2) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent an opinion of the counsel for Seller, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, confirming and updating the opinion delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to perfection and otherwise to the effect that the security interest hereunder continues to be an enforceable and perfected security interest, subject to no other Liens of record except as provided herein or otherwise permitted hereunder, which opinion may contain usual and customary assumptions, limitations and exceptions.

Section 13.13. Confidentiality.

The Seller, the Servicer (if other than MCG Capital), the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers, the Trustee, and the Backup Servicer shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees, officers, agents and Affiliates to maintain the confidentiality of material non-public information concerning MCG Capital and its Public Securities or about the Obligors (to the extent MCG Capital has advised such Person or such Person has actual knowledge that the loan documents prohibit disclosure of such information with respect to the Obligors) obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating, execution and performance of the transactions contemplated herein, except that each such party and its employees, officers, agents and Affiliates may disclose such information to other parties to the Transaction Documents and to its external accountants, attorneys, any potential subservicers, any Rating Agencies, any federal or state regulators of the Purchasers and the agents of such Persons provided such Persons expressly agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information and as required by an Applicable Law or order of any judicial or administrative proceeding.

146

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement and any agreements or letters (including fee letters) executed in connection herewith contains the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings other than any fee letter delivered by the Originator to the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, and the Secured Parties.

Section 13.15. Waiver of Setoff.

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

(a) With respect to any Loan included in the Assets subject to the Retained Interest provisions of this Agreement, the Seller will own only the principal portion of such Loans outstanding as of the applicable Cut-Off Date.

Section 13.19. Tax Treatment.

(a) It is the intention of the Seller and the Purchasers that, for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes only, the Advances made hereunder will be treated as evidence of indebtedness secured by the Asset Pool. The Seller, by entering into this Agreement, and the Purchasers, by making the Advances described herein, agree to treat the Advances for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness. The provisions of this Agreement and all related Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties.

(b) Notwithstanding any other express or implied agreement to the contrary, the parties agree and acknowledge that each of them and each of their employees, representatives, and other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, except to the extent that confidentiality is reasonably necessary to comply with U.S. federal or state securities laws.
