(a) each Purchased Contract including, to the extent permitted to be assigned under applicable law, all claims, suits, causes of action and any other right of the relevant Seller under the Transaction Documents against any Person, whether known or unknown, arising under or in connection with the Transaction Documents or in any way based on or related to any of the foregoing;

(b) the Contract Files relating to such Purchased Contracts;

(d) all other properties, assets and rights owned by Sellers as of the Closing Date, or in which Seller has an interest with respect to each of the assets set forth in the Schedule of Transferred Assets.

The assets referred to in this Section 2.1 are collectively referred to as the “Purchased Assets.”

2.2 Assumed Obligations. Buyer hereby agrees to and does assume the Unfunded Commitments (for the avoidance of doubt, only to the extent identified on the Schedule of Transferred Assets) and all other obligations (other than the Unfunded Commitments) (whether known or unknown, whether asserted or unasserted, whether absolute or contingent, whether accrued or unaccrued, whether liquidated or unliquidated, and whether due or to become due) under the Transaction Documents to the extent, and only to the extent, that (i) such obligations arise out of or relate to facts, events or circumstances arising or occurring on or after the Closing Date and (ii) such obligations arise out of or relate to Buyer’s or its Subsidiaries’ failure to comply with the terms of the Unfunded Contract with respect to its or their obligations to satisfy any Unfunded Commitment assumed hereunder (collectively, the “Assumed Obligations”).

2.3 Excluded Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer shall not, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, assume or become liable for any obligations of Sellers other than the Assumed Obligations, including (i) any Sellers’ breach of any Unfunded Contract, or (ii) Taxes arising with respect to the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Obligations for or allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period (as determined pursuant to this Agreement), and Sellers’ share of any Transfer Taxes (collectively, the “Excluded Obligations”).

2.4 True Sale. The Parties expressly intend that the purchase and sale transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute an absolute conveyance of the Purchased Assets to Buyer without recourse, except as expressly provided in this Agreement (including without limitation in Article 10). In furtherance of the foregoing, at Closing each Seller shall update its books and records to reflect the fact that the Purchased Assets have been sold and that such Seller no longer retains any ownership interest therein. The Parties agree not to take any action inconsistent with such treatment.

2.5 Nonassignable Contracts.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and subject to the provisions of this Section 2.5, to the extent that the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, to Buyer of any Purchased Assets would result in a violation of any Requirements of Law, or would require the consent, authorization, approval or waiver of a Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement (including any Governmental Body) (a “Required Consent”), and such Required Consent shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or an attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, thereof (a “Deferred Item”); provided, however, that, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained in Article 8 and Article 9, the Closing shall occur notwithstanding the foregoing without any adjustment to the Purchase Price on account thereof, provided that if an agreement to assign or transfer a Deferred Item, other than any Deferred Item subject to a Required Consent (a “Deferred Consent”), is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof would be ineffective or would affect the rights thereunder so that Buyer would not receive all such rights, then, in each such case, (i) the Deferred Item shall be withheld from sale pursuant to this Agreement without any reduction in the Purchase Price, (ii) from and after the Closing, Sellers and Buyer will cooperate, in all reasonable respects, to seek to obtain such Deferred Consent as soon as practicable after the Closing, provided that neither Sellers nor Buyer shall be required to make any payments or agree to any undertakings in connection therewith, and (iii) until such Deferred Consent is obtained, Sellers and Buyer will cooperate, in all reasonable respects, to provide to Buyer the benefits under the Deferred Item to which such Deferred Consent relates (with Buyer entitled to all the benefits and subject to all the obligations thereunder arising from and after the Closing except for any obligations arising from or related to (1) any material breach or violation thereunder prior to the Closing or any act or omission prior to the Closing that would have constituted a material breach or violation thereunder upon notice or passage of time or (2) a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of any Seller in this Agreement). Following the Closing, each of the Sellers and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate with each other, to obtain any such required consent, authorization, approval or waiver, or any release, substitution or amendment required to novate all liabilities and obligations under any and all Assumed Obligations or other liabilities that constitute Assumed Obligations or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements, so that, in any case, Buyer shall be solely responsible for Assumed Obligations from and after the Closing Date; provided, however, that none of the Sellers nor Buyer shall be required to pay any consideration therefor and Buyer shall not be required to assume any liability that is not an Assumed Obligation. Once such Required Consent is obtained, Sellers shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer the relevant Purchased Asset to which such Required Consent relates for no additional consideration.

(b) To the extent that any Purchased Asset or Assumed Obligation cannot be transferred to Buyer following the Closing pursuant to this Section 2.5, Buyer and each of the Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such arrangements to provide to the parties the economic and, to the extent permitted under Requirements of Law, operational equivalent of the transfer of such Purchased Asset or Assumed Obligation, as the case may be, to Buyer as of the Closing and the performance by Buyer of its obligations with respect thereto. Buyer shall, as agent or subcontractor for each Seller pay, perform and discharge fully the liabilities and obligations of each such Seller thereunder from and after the Closing Date. To the extent permitted under Requirements of Law, each Seller shall, at Buyer’s expense, hold in trust for and pay to Buyer promptly upon receipt thereof, such Purchased Asset and all income, proceeds and other monies received by such Seller to the extent related to such Purchased Asset in connection with the arrangements under this Section 2.5. Each Seller shall be permitted to set off against such amounts all direct costs associated with the retention and maintenance of such Purchased Assets.

(c) To the extent each Required Consent has been obtained: (i) all Purchased Assets will be transferred to Buyer at Closing; (ii) to the maximum extent practicable, Buyer will operate such Purchased Assets from and after the Closing Date and receive all revenues and benefits therefrom, assume Sellers’ executory obligations under such Purchased Assets, and exercise any and all rights of Sellers under such Purchased Assets against the other party; and (iii) Sellers will have no obligations under such Purchased Assets arising after the Closing Date, and after the Closing Date Buyer will bear all risks regarding the Purchased Assets.

ARTICLE 3

(d) Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute such other assignments, novations, transfer documents, instruments of further assurance (including without limitation, if and to the extent necessary, lost certificate affidavits and related indemnities), approvals and consents as are necessary or proper in order to complete, ensure and perfect the sale, transfer and conveyance of the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Obligations to Buyer and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby. Any other assignments, in particular any additional assignments of any lien instruments, any transfer documents, instruments of further assurance, approvals and consents as may be desired by Buyer to complete, ensure and perfect the sale, transfer and conveyance of the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Obligations to Buyer and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be prepared by Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, and submitted to the relevant Seller for execution, if necessary, within one year after the Closing Date.

(e) Within thirty (30) days following the Closing, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer (i) duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment with respect to the Warrant Assets, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, and (ii) individual consents duly executed by each Obligor (to the extent the consent of such Obligor is required pursuant to the terms of the applicable warrant), addressed to the Sellers and each Obligor in which Buyer shall agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of each warrant agreement representing the Warrant Assets, including, without limitation, all restrictions on transfer set forth therein.

7.2 Taxes.

(a) Sellers shall be liable for and shall pay all of its Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) applicable to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Obligations related thereto, in each case attributable to periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date, irrespective of when such Taxes are filed or paid. Buyer shall be liable for and shall pay all Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) applicable to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Obligations, in each case attributable to periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, irrespective of when such Taxes are filed or paid.

(b) Sellers agree to furnish or cause to be furnished, upon reasonable request from the Buyer, as soon as reasonably practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Purchased Assets and Assumed Obligations (including access to books and records) as is reasonably necessary for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any tax authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax related to the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(e) Each Party shall provide reimbursement for any Tax which is the responsibility of such Party in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.2 and which is paid by any other Party. Within a reasonable time prior to the payment of any such Tax, the Party paying such Tax shall give notice to the other Party of the Tax payable and the portion which is the liability of the other parties, although failure to do so will not relieve the other Party from its liability hereunder.

(f) In the case of any Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) that are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Taxes that are allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the portion of such Tax that would have been payable if the relevant taxable period ended at the Closing. Taxes allocable to the Post-Closing Tax Period shall be construed accordingly.

(g) Nothing herein shall be construed as obligating Sellers or Buyer in any way to pay Taxes which are the liability of an Obligor or which shall be due with respect to any Related Collateral.

(h) Buyer and any other applicable withholding agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement (and any other agreement entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated herein) any withholding Taxes or other amounts required under the Code or any applicable law to be deducted and withheld. To the extent any such amounts are so deducted and withheld and properly paid over to the appropriate Governmental Body or other appropriate Person, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement (and any other agreement entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated herein) as having been paid to Seller or any other Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

From and after the Closing and subject to the limitations of this Article 10, each Seller shall, joint and severally, indemnify and hold Buyer and its Affiliates, its and their respective successors and assigns, and in each such case its and their respective present or former directors, officers, shareholders, employees and agents (“Buyer Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses at any time incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party in connection with, resulting from, related to or arising from:

(a) any material breach by such Seller of any of its representations or warranties (with materiality determined, where applicable, by reference to the Purchased Contract that is the subject of the relevant representation or warranty) in this Agreement, the Assignment and Assumption Agreements, or in any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement;

(b) any material breach or nonfulfillment of any agreement or covenant (in each case with materiality determined, where applicable, by reference to the Purchased Contract that is the subject of the relevant agreement or covenant) to be performed by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement, the Assignment and Assumption Agreements, or in any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement;

(c) any claim by an Obligor or a third party in connection with such Seller’s making or collecting loans or performing any transactions under the Transaction Documents prior to or at the Closing Date; or

(d) any failure by such Seller to pay or perform, or any claim against a Buyer Indemnified Party by a third party that, if successful, would give rise to, any of the Excluded Obligations.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Sellers have made no representations or warranties, and therefore provide no indemnification, regarding: (i) the creditworthiness, solvency or financial ability of any Obligor or Guarantor or any other obligor, including any pledgor, any letter of credit issuer or insurer to pay or to perform any of its liabilities or obligations with respect to the Purchased Assets, or (ii) any Obligor’s or Guarantor’s paying or performing pursuant to the terms of any Purchased Contract.

10.2 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing and subject to the limitations of this Article 10, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold each Seller and its Affiliates, including its and their respective successors and assigns, and in each case its and their respective present or former directors, officers, shareholders, employees and agents (“Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses at any time incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party in connection with, resulting from, related to or arising from Buyer’s failure to comply with its obligations to fund any Unfunded Commitments after the Closing Date.

10.3 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 10, except in the case of fraudulent misrepresentation or a breach of any Seller Fundamental Representations, in no event shall a Seller’s aggregate liability for Losses that may be recovered by any Buyer Indemnified Party for any breach by a Seller of any of its representations or warranties in this Agreement, the Assignment and Assumption Agreements, or in any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement exceed the portion of the Purchase Price actually received by such Seller (the “Cap”).

(b) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Buyer have any liability for any punitive, exemplary or special damages or opportunity costs, except to the extent awarded in connection with a third party claim.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all Losses for which any Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.1 or Section 10.2 shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds, indemnification payments and other third-party recoveries actually realized in respect of any Losses incurred by such Indemnified Party. In the event any Indemnified Party is entitled to any insurance proceeds, indemnity payments or any third-party recoveries in respect of any Losses for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.1 or Section 10.2, such Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain, receive or realize such proceeds, benefits, payments or recoveries. In the event that any such insurance proceeds, indemnification payments or other third-party recoveries are realized by an Indemnified Party subsequent to receipt by such Indemnified Party of any indemnification payment hereunder in respect of the claims to which such insurance proceeds, indemnification payments or other third-party recoveries relate, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit all or the relevant portion of such indemnification payment to the Indemnifying Party.

(d) In the event both Buyer and Sellers are liable hereunder with respect to a Loss that constitutes both an Assumed Obligation and an Excluded Obligation, the amount payable by Buyer and Seller with respect thereto shall be in such proportion as shall reflect the relative fault of each Party.

10.4 Notice of Claims. Promptly upon the sooner to occur of (a) a party’s acquisition of knowledge of facts or circumstances which could serve as the basis for a claim under this Article 10, or (b) receipt of notice of any claim, demand or assessment or the commencement of any suit, action, arbitration or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought on account of the indemnity agreement contained in this Article 10, the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based and within sufficient time to respond to such claim or answer or otherwise plea in such action; provided that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure.

10.5 Third Party Claims. In the event that any Person not a party to this Agreement shall make any demand or claim or file or threaten to file any lawsuit, which demand, claim or lawsuit may result in any Losses to one party hereto of the kind for which such party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 10, then, after written notice is provided by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the option, at its expense, to provide legal counsel for the Indemnified Party (such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party) to defend any such demand, claim or lawsuit. In effecting the settlement of any such demand, claim or lawsuit, an Indemnified Party shall act in good faith, shall consult with the Indemnifying Party and shall enter into only such settlement as the Indemnifying Party shall approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party may settle any third party claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party provided that such settlement provides for a release of the Indemnified Party with respect to all such third party claims and does not contain any restriction on the activities of the Indemnified Party or any finding of fault. Each party will cooperate with the other party in connection with any claim, make personnel, books and records relevant to such claim available to the other party, and grant such authorizations or limited powers of attorney to the agents, representatives and counsel of such other party as such party may reasonably consider desirable in connection with the defense of any such claim.

10.6 General. The Indemnified Party shall be obligated in connection with any claim for indemnification under this Article 10 to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to such Losses. In addition, in the event that a claim is made against an Indemnified Party by a third-party and (i) an Indemnifying Party incurs costs or expenses for indemnification under this Article 10 in connection therewith, and (ii) any of such costs or expenses are chargeable by such Indemnified Party to a Obligor (whether pursuant to contractual indemnification or otherwise), the Indemnified Party agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain such chargeable amounts from such Obligor and remit such amounts to the Indemnifying Party promptly after receipt thereof.

10.7 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations, warranties and covenants of Sellers and Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any agreement, certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing; provided, however, Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, will have liability for any breach of their or its representations or warranties in this Agreement, the Assignment and Assumption Agreements, or in any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement only if, on or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer or Sellers, as applicable, notifies the other Party of a claim specifying the factual basis of such claim in reasonable detail (a “Claim Notice”); and provided, further, that (a) in all cases, a party’s liability for such breach shall not terminate with respect to any claim for which such party has been given a Claim Notice prior to the expiration of such two-year period, until the final disposition of such claim, and (b) the foregoing limitations shall not apply to any breach of Seller Fundamental Representations or Buyer Fundamental Representations.

10.8 Exclusive Remedies. Following the Closing and other than in the case of fraud of a party hereto, the indemnification provisions contained in this Article 10 will constitute the sole and exclusive recourse and remedy of the Buyer with respect to any breach of any of the representations or warranties by the Sellers contained in this Agreement, the Assignment and Assumption Agreements, or in any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement or any covenants or other obligations contained in this Agreement to be performed prior to or at the Closing; provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall limit in any way the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies to which a party may otherwise be entitled.

. This Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein and the other documents referred to herein contain the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties hereto with regard to the subject matter contained herein or therein, and supersede all prior agreements, inducements,

understandings, disclosures, correspondence, offering memoranda or letters of intent between or among any of the Parties hereto, whether expressed or implied, oral or written, regarding the same subject matter. Each of the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are incorporated into this Agreement and by this reference made a part hereof. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by an authorized representative of each of the Parties hereto.

11.8 Interpretation. Article titles and section headings are for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein. Disclosure of any fact or item in any Schedule hereto referenced by a particular section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with regard to every other section in this Agreement to the extent the relevance of such disclosure to each other section is readily apparent on its face. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any Exhibit or Schedule hereto is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included or other amounts, are or are not material, and neither Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in an Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for purposes of this Agreement if, as to any Party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such Party. The failure of any Party hereto to enforce at any time any provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

11.10 Expenses. Each Party hereto will pay all of its own costs and expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and to its performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with, including fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and accountants.

11.11 Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provisions shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions or other provisions hereof.

11.12 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including facsimiles thereof and through electronic transmission, each of which shall be considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become binding when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties hereto and delivered to Sellers and Buyer.

(a) Each Seller and Buyer hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York in any proceeding or dispute relating in any way to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and agrees that any such proceeding shall be brought by it solely in any such court. Each Seller and Buyer irrevocably waives all claims, objections and defenses that it may have regarding such court’s personal or subject matter jurisdiction, venue or inconvenient forum. Each Seller and Buyer hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaint and other process issued in any such action or proceeding and agrees that service of such summons, complaint and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to the other party at the address set forth in this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier of such party’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the United States mails proper postage prepaid.
