Under no circumstances shall any Lender be required to make any Advance if after giving effect to such Advance and the addition to the Collateral of the Eligible Loan Assets being acquired by the Borrower using the proceeds of such Advance, (i) an Event of Default exists or would result therefrom or an Unmatured Event of Default exists or would result therefrom or (ii) a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or would result therefrom. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall be obligated to provide the Borrower with aggregate funds in connection with an Advance that would exceed such Xxxxxx’s unused Commitment then in effect.

62

(b) Promissory Note. Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower (in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) evidencing (i) the Advances of such Lender with appropriate insertions as to the date and principal amount or (ii) the I/O Notional Loan of such Lender, with appropriate insertions as to the date and interest amount, not to exceed the I/O Notional Loan Amount allocable to such Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, any note delivered in connection with an I/O Notional Loan shall be a zero principal balance note.

(c) I/O Notional Loans. For the purposes of calculating the accrued interest under the I/O Notional Loan, the Borrower and Lenders hereby agree that on the Closing Date, a loan with a principal amount equal to the I/O Notional Loan Amount shall be deemed to have been advanced to the Borrower by the applicable Lenders under the I/O Notional Loan, and any increase or any decrease, if any, of the I/O Notional Loan Amount of the I/O Notional Loans shall be allocated ratably to those Lenders who are the holders of the I/O Notional Loan, solely to the extent that the aggregate Commitments are increased or decreased. No amounts will actually be advanced by any Lender to the Borrower in respect of the I/O Notional Loan and no amount shall be owed by the Borrower to any Lender with respect to such I/O Notional Loan (other than in respect of Yield at the I/O Rate). The amount of interest payable to a Lender in respect of the I/O Notional Loan shall be calculated with respect to such Lender’s I/O Notional Loan Lender Percentage.

Section 2.02 Procedure for Advances.

(a) During the Revolving Period, the Lenders will make Advances on any Business Day at the request of the Borrower, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Sections 2.01 and 2.02 and subject to the provisions of Article III hereof.

(b) For each Advance, the Borrower shall deliver a written notice in the form of a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, with a copy to the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian, no later than 2:00 p.m. at least two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the U.S. Government Securities Business Day on which the Advance is to be made; provided that, if such Notice of Borrowing is delivered later than 2:00 p.m. on such U.S. Government Securities Business Day, such Notice of Borrowing shall be deemed to have been received on the following U.S. Government Securities Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall include a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate (updated to the date such Advance is requested and giving pro forma effect to the Advance requested and the use of the proceeds thereof) and an updated Loan Asset Schedule, and shall specify:

(i) the proposed aggregate amount of such Advance; provided that the amount of such Advance must be at least equal to $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as consented to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion);

(ii) the proposed date of such Advance;

(iii) a representation that all conditions precedent for an Advance described in Article III hereof shall have been satisfied as of such date or not later than the proposed date of such Advance;

63

(v) whether such Advance should be remitted to the Principal Collection Subaccount or the Unfunded Exposure Account.

Any Notice of Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower; provided that any Notice of Borrowing that is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions may be revoked or delayed by the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) no later than 12:00 p.m. on the proposed date of such Advance if such other transactions fail to become effective (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall be liable for any breakage or other reasonable and documented out of pocket costs incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with such revocation or delay).

On the date of each Advance, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, each Lender shall, in accordance with the Notice of Borrowing, either make available to the Borrower, in same day funds, (x) an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance, for deposit by the Collateral Agent into the Principal Collection Subaccount or (y) an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance, for deposit by the Collateral Agent into the Unfunded Exposure Account, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, each Advance and related increase in the Advances Outstanding shall be allocated ratably to each Lender in accordance with their respective Lender’s Pro Rata Share as in effect before such increase. Any Lender which fails to remit its Pro Rata Share in connection with any Advance in accordance with this Section 2.02 shall constitute a Defaulting Lender, and the Borrower shall have all rights available to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19.

(c) Each Advance shall bear interest at the applicable Yield Rate.

(d) Subject to Section 2.16 and the other terms, conditions, provisions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay or prepay and reborrow Advances without any penalty, fee or premium on and after the Closing Date and prior to the end of the Revolving Period.

(e) The obligation of each Lender to remit its Pro Rata Share of any Advance shall be several from that of each other Lender and the failure of any Lender to so make such amount available to the Borrower shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the existence of an Unmatured Event of Default or a Borrowing Base Deficiency), if, on the last day of the Revolving Period, the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is less than the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount, the Borrower shall request an Advance in the amount of such shortfall (the “Unfunded Exposure Amount Shortfall”). Following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing (which shall specify the account details of the Unfunded Exposure Account where the funds will be made available), each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata Share of such Unfunded Exposure Amount Shortfall in accordance with Section 2.02(b), notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02) other than an Event of Default.

On or before the Cut-Off Date of any Delayed Draw Loan Asset or any Revolving Loan, as applicable, the Borrower shall deposit into the Unfunded Exposure Account an amount such that the balance of the Unfunded Exposure Account is at least equal to the Unfunded Exposure Equity Amount of such Delayed Draw Loan Asset or such Revolving Loan, as applicable, by making a Disbursement Request from the Principal Collection Subaccount in accordance with Section 2.18 and/or a Notice of Borrowing for an Advance in accordance with Section 2.02. Funds

The parties further agree that amounts that may be distributed to the Borrower or the holders of any Equity Interest in the Borrower are fully subordinated and junior to the Obligations of the Borrower to the Secured Parties. In the event the Borrower is subject to a Bankruptcy Event, any claim that the Borrower or the holders of any Equity Interest in the Borrower may have with respect to such distributions shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and notwithstanding any objection to, or rescission of, such filing, be fully subordinate in right of payment to the Obligations of the Borrower to the Secured Parties. The foregoing sentence and the provisions of Section 2.04 shall constitute a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Borrower and the Transferor hereby agree that they may only receive distributions from amounts available pursuant to clauses (a), (b) or (c) above.

(f) Repayment of Obligations.

In the event the Collateral Agent or the Account Bank receives instructions from the Servicer or the Borrower which conflict with any instructions received from the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Account Bank, as applicable, shall rely on and follow the instructions given by the Administrative Agent.

a. if, immediately prior to such sale, substitution or release, such Loan Asset is subject to a Value Adjustment Event, (i) if such Value Adjustment Event has been cured prior to the repurchase date, such repurchase shall not require the consent of the Administrative Agent, provided, that the Advance Rate with respect to such Loan Asset, and each calculation to be made as of the applicable Cut-Off Date pursuant to the definitions of “Advance Rate” and “Value Adjustment Event”, shall instead be determined as of the date of such sale, substitution or release (and not as of the actual Cut-Off Date for such repurchase), and (ii) if such Value Adjustment Event has not been cured, such repurchase shall be subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and the Advance Rate with respect to such Loan Asset, and each calculation pursuant to the definitions of “Advance Rate” and “Value Adjustment Event”, shall be determined as of the Cut-Off Date for such repurchase; and

Section 2.08 Payments and Computations, Etc.

(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 2:00 p.m. on the day when due in Dollars in immediately available funds to the Collection Account or such other account as is designated by the Administrative Agent. Any Obligation hereunder shall not be reduced by any distribution of any portion of Available Collections if at any time such distribution is rescinded or required to be returned by any Lender to the Borrower or any other Person for any reason. Each Advance and I/O Notional Loan shall accrue interest at the applicable Yield Rate for each day during each applicable Remittance Period. All computations of interest and all computations with respect to the Yield and the Yield Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days and the actual number of days elapsed. Each Advance shall accrue interest at the Yield Rate for each day beginning on, and including, the Advance Date with respect to such Advance and ending on, but excluding, the date such Advance is repaid in full. Yield on the I/O Notional Loan due on each Payment Date shall be equal to the applicable interest due thereon with respect to each such Payment Date, which I/O Notional Loan shall accrue interest at the Yield Rate for each day during the Remittance Period.

(b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of Yield or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be. To the extent that Available Collections as of the related Determination Date are insufficient on any Payment Date to satisfy the full amount of any Increased Costs pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(v) and Section 2.04(b)(i), such unpaid amounts shall remain due and owing and shall be payable on the next succeeding Payment Date until repaid in full.

(c) If any Advance requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 is not for any reason whatsoever, except as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or failure to fund such Advance on the part of, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof, made or effectuated, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify such Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender related thereto (other than any such loss, cost or expense solely due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to fund such Advance on the part of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof), including any loss (including cost of funds and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund Advances or maintain the Advances. Any such Lender shall provide to the Borrower documentation setting forth the amounts of any loss, cost or expense referred to in the previous sentence, such documentation to be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay or repay any amounts in respect of the I/O Notional Loan other than interest in accordance with Section 2.01 and Section 2.04, as applicable.

75

Section 2.09 Unused Fee. The Borrower shall pay, in accordance with Section 2.04, pro rata to each Lender, an unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) payable in arrears for each Remittance Period, equal to the sum of the products for each day during such Remittance Period of (a) one divided by three hundred and sixty (360), (b) the applicable Unused Fee Rate and (c) the positive difference, if any, of the Facility Amount less the greater of (i) the Advances Outstanding on such date and (ii) the Minimum Utilization.

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, fee, Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes), insurance charge, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate, participant, successor or assign thereof (each of which shall be an “Affected Party”);

(ii) impose on any Affected Party or the London or other applicable offshore interbank market (or, to the extent a different Benchmark applies, the market for such Benchmark) any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances or participation therein or the obligation or right of any Lender to make Advances hereunder;

(iii) change the amount of capital maintained or required or requested or directed to be maintained by any Affected Party; or

(iv) change the rate for, or the manner in which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or a successor thereto) assesses deposit insurance premiums or similar charges;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to or impose a cost upon such Affected Party of funding or making or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance or otherwise performing its obligations under the Transaction Documents or to increase the cost to such Affected Party or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Party, whether of principal, interest or otherwise or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interest or loans received or held by such Affected Party and such Affected Party is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers, then the Borrower will pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Affected Party determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Party’s capital or on the capital of Affected Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Advances made by such Affected Party to a level below that which such Affected Party or Affected Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law and such Affected Party is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party or Affected Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

76

(c) A certificate of an Affected Party providing an explanation of the applicable Change in Law, certifying that such Affected Party is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers and setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Party or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.10 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.10, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The Borrower shall pay such Affected Party the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the Payment Date following receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of any Affected Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Affected Party pursuant to this Section 2.10 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred and eighty (180)-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) In the event that any Affected Party shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Party to make any purchase or loan or maintain any purchase or loan) as a result of any Advance not being made in accordance with a request therefor under Section 2.02, then, on the Payment Date following written notice from such Affected Party to the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party, the amount of such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower.

(f) Compensation for Losses. In the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Advance other than on the last day of the Remittance Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Advance other than on the last day of the Remittance Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Advance on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for any loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds or from any fees payable. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.10(f) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the Payment Date following receipt thereof.

77

Section 2.11 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments made by the Borrower or made by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Taxes are required by Applicable Law to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Recipient (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent), then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the amount payable by the Borrower to such Person will be increased as necessary (the amount of such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that every net payment made under this Agreement after such withholding or deduction has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to such increase) is not less than the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been made.

All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within ten (10) days from the date a written demand therefor is delivered to the Borrower. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.11(e).

78

(f) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by the Borrower or by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower of any Taxes, the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, will furnish to the Administrative Agent at the applicable address set forth on this Agreement, appropriate evidence of payment thereof.

(g) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.11(g)(i), (ii) and (iii)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) If any Lender is not a United States Tax Person, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, to the extent legally entitled to do so, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

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

79

c. in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1 to the effect that such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower (or, for so long as the equity is held by a single holder, such holder of the equity) within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower (or, for so long as the equity is held by a single holder, such holder of the equity) described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or

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

(ii) If a Lender is a United States Tax Person, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two (2) (or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Law) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

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

(iv) If any Lender is not a United States Tax Person, such Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the

80

reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(v) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.11(g) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Unless required by Applicable Law, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender, as the case may be. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified or paid Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11, it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or Additional Amounts paid under this Section 2.11 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.11(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.11(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position that the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or Additional Amounts giving rise to such refund 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.

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

(j) If at any time the Borrower shall be liable for the payment of any Additional Amounts in accordance with this Section 2.11, then the Borrower shall have the option to terminate this Agreement (in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16(b)); provided that such option to terminate shall in no event relieve the Borrower of paying any amounts owing pursuant to this Section 2.11 in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, further, that in no event shall the Borrower incur any prepayment premium or penalty in connection with any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this clause (j).

81

Section 2.12 Grant of a Security Interest; Collateral Assignment of Agreements.

(a) To secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations and the performance by the Borrower of all of the covenants and obligations to be performed by it pursuant to this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”), the Borrower hereby (i) collaterally assigns and pledges to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties and (ii) Grants a security interest to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of the obligations under) all of the Collateral, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired by the Borrower, and wherever the same may be located. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral shall not include any Excluded Amounts, and the Borrower does not hereby assign, pledge or Grant a security interest in any such amounts. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (y) the exercise by the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral, and (z) none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender nor any Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender nor any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

The foregoing Grant shall, for the purpose of determining the property subject to the Lien of this Agreement, be deemed to include any securities and any investments Granted to the Collateral Agent by or on behalf of the Borrower, whether or not such securities or investments satisfy the criteria set forth in the definitions of “Eligible Loan Asset” or “Permitted Investments,” as the case may be.

(b) As security for the Secured Obligations, the Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all of the Borrower’s right and title to and interest in, to and under (but not any obligations under) the Sale and Contribution Agreement (and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith), the Underlying Instruments related to each Loan Asset, all other agreements, documents and instruments evidencing, securing or guarantying any Loan Asset and all other agreements, documents and instruments related to any of the foregoing but excluding any Excluded Amounts or Retained Interest (the “Assigned Documents”). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, its right to indemnification under the Sale and Contribution Agreement. The Borrower confirms that until the Collection Date the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative Agent) on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the sole right after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under the Sale and Contribution Agreement and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

82

The parties hereto agree that such collateral assignment to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall terminate upon the Collection Date.

Section 2.13 Evidence of Debt. The Administrative Agent shall maintain, solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, at its address referred to in Section 12.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance and participation agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses and interests of the Lenders (including principal amounts and stated interest on the Advances or stated interest on the I/O Notional Loan, as applicable) (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time during business hours and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No Advance or I/O Notional Loan hereunder shall be assigned or sold, in whole or in part without registering such assignment or sale on the Register. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, however, shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of any Advance and the I/O Notional Loan.

Section 2.14 Release of Loan Assets.

(a) The Borrower may obtain the release of (a) any Loan Asset (and the Related Asset) sold or substituted in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.07, (b) any Loan Asset (and the Related Asset) with respect to which all amounts have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account and (c) the entire Collateral following the Collection Date. The Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall, at the sole expense of the Servicer and the Borrower and at the direction of the Administrative Agent, execute such documents and instruments of release as may be prepared by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, give notice of such release to the Collateral Custodian and the Collateral Administrator (in the form of Exhibit J) (unless the Collateral Custodian and Collateral Agent are the same Person) and take other such actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Borrower to effect such release of the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement. Upon receiving such notification by the Collateral Agent as described in the immediately preceding sentence, if applicable, the Collateral Custodian Administrator or the Collateral Custodian, as applicable, shall deliver the Required Loan Documents to the Borrower. Neither the Collateral Administrator nor the Collateral Custodian shall be liable for any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 2.14, and shall have any duty to investigate or ascertain whether such action, notification or any direction complies with any term of the Transaction Documents (other than confirming the deposit by the Servicer of the proceeds of a Loan Asset into the Principal Collection Subaccount).

(b) Upon the occurrence of the Collection Date, the respective remaining interests in the Related Assets of each Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall be automatically released to the Borrower, for no consideration but at the sole expense of the Borrower, free and clear of any Lien resulting solely from an act by any Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent but without any other representation or warranty, express or implied, by or recourse against any Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, and the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide evidence of any such release as the Borrower may request, at the sole expense of the Borrower.

83

(c) The security interest on any Loan Assets released pursuant to this Section 2.14 or pursuant to Section 2.07 shall be automatically released upon the consummation of the transfer or distribution of such Loan Asset, without any further action from the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent; provided, however, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall, upon the reasonable request of the Servicer or the Borrower, deliver any documentation or take any actions necessary or desirable to evidence the release of such security interest.

Section 2.15 Treatment of Amounts Received by the Borrower. Amounts received by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07 on account of Loan Assets shall be treated as payments of Principal Collections or Interest Collections, as applicable, on Loan Assets hereunder.

Section 2.16 Prepayment; Termination; Reduction.

(a) Except as expressly permitted or required herein, including, any repayment necessary to cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency, Advances Outstanding may only be prepaid in whole or in part at the option of the Borrower at any time by delivering a Notice of Reduction (which notice shall include a Borrowing Base Certificate) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Agent no later than at least one Business Day, or in the case of any prepayment in whole, at least three (3) Business Days, prior to such prepayment. Upon any prepayment (x) in part, the Borrower shall also pay all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders required to be paid pursuant to Section 12.07 related to such prepayment and (y) in whole, the Borrower shall also pay in full all accrued and unpaid Yield, Increased Costs and all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders required to be paid pursuant to Section 12.07 related to such prepayment; and (z) if such prepayment occurs other than on a Payment Date, the Borrower shall pay any applicable Breakage Fees. The Administrative Agent shall apply amounts received from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) to the payment of any Breakage Fees and to the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding. Any notice relating to any repayment pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) shall be irrevocable; provided that any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other events, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such events fail to become effective (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall be liable for any Breakage Fees or, subject to Section 12.07, other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with such revocation).

(b) The Borrower may, at its option and upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of such termination or permanent reduction in the form of Exhibit F to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Agent, either (i) terminate this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents upon payment in full of all Advances Outstanding, all accrued and unpaid Yield and Fees, any Breakage Fees, Increased Costs, all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and Lenders, payment of the Prepayment Premium pro rata to each Lender and payment of all other Obligations (other than unmatured contingent indemnification obligations), or (ii) permanently reduce in part the Facility Amount upon payment in full of all accrued and unpaid Yield and Unused Fees (pro rata with respect to the portion of the Facility Amount so reduced), any Breakage Fees, Increased Costs, all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and Lenders and the

84

Prepayment Premium pro rata to each Lender. Any Termination/Reduction Notice relating to any reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.16(b) shall be irrevocable; provided that any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other events, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such events fail to become effective (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall be liable for any Breakage Fees or, subject to Section 12.07, other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with such revocation). The Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (prior to giving effect to any reduction of Commitments hereunder) of the aggregate amount of any reduction under this Section 2.16(b). The I/O Notional Loan Amount shall be reduced by the same amount of any reduction of Commitments under this Section 2.16(b).

(c) The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Prepayment Premium constitutes additional consideration for the Lenders to enter into this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Prepayment Premium shall be due and payable in connection with any prepayment or repayment in any of the following circumstances: (i) if a Non-Approval Event has occurred and is continuing at the time of such prepayment or repayment, (ii) on or after the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date, (iii) if such prepayment or repayment is pursuant to Section 2.16(a), (iv) if Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Asset Funding Inc. or an Affiliate thereof is no longer the Administrative Agent or (v) if at any time the Borrower shall be liable for the payment of any additional amounts in accordance with Section 2.10 or Section 2.11.

Section 2.17 Collections and Allocations.

(a) The Collateral Agent shall promptly identify all Available Collections received in the Pass-Through Collection Subaccount as being on account of Interest Collections or Principal Collections and direct the Account Bank to withdraw Interest Collections and Principal Collections from the Pass-Through Collection Subaccount and transfer the same to the Interest Collection Subaccount and the Principal Collection Subaccount, respectively. If the Servicer receives any collections directly, the Servicer shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, any such collections received directly by it (if any) to the applicable Collection Account by the close of business within two (2) Business Days after such Interest Collections and Principal Collections are received; provided that the Servicer shall identify to the Collateral Agent any collections received directly by the Servicer as being on account of Interest Collections or Principal Collections.

(b) On the Cut-Off Date with respect to any Loan Asset, the Servicer will deposit or will cause the Borrower to deposit into the applicable Collection Account all Available Collections received in respect of Eligible Loan Assets being transferred to and included as part of the Collateral on such date.

(c) The Servicer may direct the Account Bank to withdraw from the applicable Collection Account any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Servicer has, prior to such withdrawal, delivered to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in their respective sole discretion.

85

(d) Prior to the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Servicer shall, pursuant to written instruction (which may be in the form of standing instructions), direct the Collateral Agent to invest, or cause the investment of, funds on deposit in the Controlled Accounts (other than the Custodial Account or the Pass-Through Collection Subaccount) in Permitted Investments, from the date of this Agreement until the Collection Date. Absent any such written instruction, such funds shall remain uninvested. A Permitted Investment acquired with funds deposited in any such Controlled Account shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding any Payment Date, and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of the Account Bank or its nominee for the benefit of the Collateral Agent. All income and gain realized from any such investment, as well as any interest earned on deposits in any such Controlled Account shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Article II hereof. The Borrower shall deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount, the Interest Collection Subaccount or the Unfunded Exposure Account, as the case may be (with respect to investments made hereunder of funds held therein), an amount equal to the amount of any actual loss incurred, in respect of any such investment, immediately upon realization of such loss. None of the Account Bank, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be liable for the amount of any loss incurred, in respect of any investment, or lack of investment, of funds held in any Controlled Account other than with respect to fraud, their own gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent or Account Bank. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, a Lender or any of their respective Affiliates may receive compensation with respect to the Permitted Investments.

(e) Until the Collection Date, neither the Borrower nor the Servicer shall have any rights of direction or withdrawal, with respect to amounts held in any Controlled Account, except to the extent explicitly set forth in Section 2.04, Section 2.17(c) or Section 2.18.

Section 2.18 Reinvestment of Principal Collections.

On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth as certified in writing to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent, prior to the end of the Revolving Period, the Servicer may, to the extent of any Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount:

(a) direct the Collateral Agent to withdraw such funds for the purpose of reinvesting in additional Eligible Loan Assets to be Granted hereunder; provided that the following conditions are satisfied or waived in writing:

(i) all conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 and Section 3.04 have been satisfied;

(ii) no Event of Default has occurred, or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment, and no Unmatured Event of Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment (other than any Unmatured Event of Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency which would be cured after giving effect to the use of such funds);

86

(iii) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 hereof shall continue to be correct in all material respects (or if such representation or warranty is already qualified by the words “material”, “materially” or “Material Adverse Effect”, then such representation or warranty shall be correct in all respects), except to the extent relating to an earlier date; and

(iv) delivery of a Disbursement Request and a Borrowing Base Certificate, each executed by the Borrower and a Responsible Officer of the Servicer; or

(b) direct the Collateral Agent to withdraw such funds for the purpose of making payments in respect of the Advances Outstanding at such time in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 2.16.

Upon the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2.18 (as certified by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent), the Collateral Agent shall withdraw funds from the Principal Collection Subaccount as directed by the Servicer in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (x) the amount requested by the Servicer for reinvestment or repayment and (y) the amount on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount on such day.

Section 2.19 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) the portion of the Advance funded by such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder and the Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders have taken or may have taken any action hereunder; provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders or Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, as applicable;

(ii) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund

87

Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto; and

(iii) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Fee for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent, and, so long as no Event of Default exists, the Borrower determines (such determination not to be unreasonably withheld) that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and the provisions of clause (a) above shall, from and after such determination, cease to be of further force or effect with respect to such Xxxxxx; provided that no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to a non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Xxxxxx having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) Replacement of a Lender.

(i) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender or requires compensation under Section 2.10 (other than Section 2.10(e)) or 2.11, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon not less than five (5) Business Days advance notice to the Administrative Agent and (if different) the related Lender, (x) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.04), all of its respective interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent with respect to any assignee that is not

88

already a Lender hereunder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (B) the assignee shall not be an Affiliate of any of the Borrower, the Servicer or the Transferor, (C) such assigning Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to all outstanding Advances funded or maintained by such Lender, together with all accrued interest thereon and all accrued Fees, and (D) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have agreed to, and shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of, the applicable consent, waiver or amendment of the Transaction Documents or (y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the portion of the Advance held by such Lender as of such termination date, without the payment of any penalty, fee or premium. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to exist.

(ii) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.19(c)(i) above shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Lender’s applicable Commitment and outstanding portion of the Advance funded by such Lender. Pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding portion of the Advance and (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Advance and Commitments so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and under each of the Transaction Documents and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned portion of the Advance and Commitments, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. In connection with any such replacement, if any such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance reflecting such replacement within three (3) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance to such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance without any action on the part of the Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender.

(d) In the event that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested any consent, waiver or amendment by any Lender or the Lenders to any matter pursuant to this Agreement, and such consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders, the Lenders or the Required Lenders, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment within five (5) Business Days’ written notice to such Lender that such amendment has been agreed to by the Required Lenders shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.” For the avoidance of doubt, (x) Non-Consenting Lender shall not include any Lender that abstains from voting on any consent, waiver or amendment if the vote of such Lender would not be required in order for such consent, waiver or amendment to be approved

89

pursuant to this Agreement, and (y) if the Administrative Agent is also a Lender, any failure of the Administrative Agent, acting in its capacity as Administrative Agent, to grant any consent, waiver or amendment shall not result in the Administrative Agent, acting in its capacity as a Lender, being deemed to be a Non-Consenting Lender. In the event that the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity is a Non-Consenting Lender and the Borrower has replaced the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19, then the Borrower shall have the right to remove and replace the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.01(h).

Section 2.20 Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if (A) a Benchmark Transition Event and (B) a Benchmark Replacement Date with respect thereto have occurred prior to the Reference Time in connection with any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then such Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes under this Agreement and under any other Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without requiring any amendment to, or requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

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

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify all the parties hereto in writing in advance (if feasible) of (i) any occurrence of (A) a Benchmark Transition Event and (B) the Benchmark Replacement Date with respect thereto, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.20, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

Section 2.21 Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 2.20, if, on or prior to the first day of any Remittance Period for any SOFR Advance:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

90

(b) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Advance or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR for any requested Remittance Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Advance, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent,

the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Advances, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Advances, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Advances or affected Remittance Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, or continuation of SOFR Advances (to the extent of the affected SOFR Advances or affected Remittance Periods). Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.10(f).

Section 2.22 Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11 then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loan Assets hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.11, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

In any case in which any such Related Collateral has suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any repair or toward the foreclosure or repossession of such Related Collateral in a manner inconsistent with the Servicing Standard.

(b) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to sell all of the Collateral on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for the assets constituting the Collateral may not be liquid. Accordingly, the Administrative Agent may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any of the Collateral, and nothing contained herein shall obligate the Administrative Agent to liquidate any of the Collateral on the date the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders declares the Advances Outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 7.01 or to liquidate all of the Collateral in the same manner or on the same Business Day.

(c) If the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent proposes to sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at a public or private sale, at the request of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, the Borrower and the Servicer shall make available to (i) the Administrative Agent, on a timely basis, all information (including any information that the Borrower and the Servicer is required by law or contract to keep confidential, to the extent such information can be provided without violation of such laws or contracts, including through entering into any confidentiality agreements in forms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to the extent required to prevent violation of such laws or contracts, it being

144

understood that the Borrower and the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the permitted disclosure of such information to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent) relating to the Collateral subject to sale, including, without limitation, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials requested by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) each prospective bidder, on a timely basis, all reasonable information relating to the Collateral subject to sale, including, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant compliance certificates and any other materials requested by each such bidder.

(d) Each of the Borrower 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 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 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 Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, 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 Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) or such court may determine. Pursuant to the UCC, each of the Borrower and the Collateral Agent hereby specifically agrees (x) that it shall not raise any objection to a Secured Party’s purchase of the Collateral (through bidding on the obligations or otherwise) and (y) that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in various no action letters promulgated by the SEC staff (1) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes of the UCC and (2) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that a Secured Party purchases the Collateral at such a sale.

(e) Any amounts received from any sale or liquidation of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 7.02 in excess of the Obligations will be applied by the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04(c), or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(f) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have, in addition to all the rights and remedies provided herein and provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of any applicable state, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), all rights and remedies available to the Lenders at law, in equity or under any other agreement between any Lender and the Borrower. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by the Administrative Agent, any such Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of

the Borrower or the Transferor, as applicable, against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or the Transferor, as applicable, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the Administrative Agent, any such Lender or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, any such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or the Transferor, as applicable, may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under this section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, any such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(g) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

(h) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints, during the continuance of an Event of Default and at all times following the Facility Maturity Date, each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement, including without limitation the following powers: (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 such 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 and the Servicer hereby 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 Transaction Document. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request.

(i) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and empowered, during the existence of an Event of Default and at all times following the Facility Maturity Date, on behalf of the Borrower or the Transferor, to endorse the name of the Borrower or the Transferor, as applicable, upon any check, draft, instrument, receipt, instruction, or other document or agreement or item, coming into the Administrative Agent’s possession, and to receive and apply the proceeds therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof. The Administrative Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable power of attorney, which is coupled with an interest, to execute all checks, drafts, receipts, instruments, instructions, or other documents, agreements, or items on behalf of the Borrower or the Transferor, as applicable, either before or after demand of payment on the

146

Obligations but only during the existence of an Event of Default, as shall be deemed by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, to preserve the security interests and Liens in the Collateral or to secure the repayment of the Obligations, and the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, in connection with or arising from its exercise of such power of attorney. The application by the Administrative Agent of such funds shall, unless the Administrative Agent shall agree otherwise in writing, be the same as set forth in Section 2.04 hereof.

Section 7.03 Option to Purchase Collateral. In connection with any sale or liquidation in whole or in part of the Collateral pursuant to Section 7.02, including without limitation, (a) upon the termination of the Commitments following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or (b) at the Facility Maturity Date, the Transferor (or its designated Affiliate or managed fund) shall, subject to the additional requirements set forth in this Section 7.03, have the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Loan Assets included in the Collateral at a purchase price at least equal to the sum of the then outstanding Obligations, as determined by the Administrative Agent (the “Exercise Notice Purchase Price”); provided that if either the Transferor or the Servicer is (1) the defaulting party with respect to any such Event of Default or (2) in breach of any material provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, any accrued and unpaid Prepayment Premium shall be included in the Exercise Notice Purchase Price. The Transferor may exercise such right by providing written notice (the “Exercise Notice”) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) of its election to exercise such right which shall include the Exercise Notice Purchase Price and shall be delivered not later than 5:00 p.m. on the Facility Maturity Date or within two (2) Business Days of the date on which the Transferor receives written notice from the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of such Event of Default and termination of the Commitments, as applicable. Once an Exercise Notice is given by the Transferor (subject to the immediately succeeding sentence), the Transferor (or such Affiliate or managed fund designated in the Exercise Notice) shall be obligated, irrevocably and unconditionally, to purchase the Collateral, at the Exercise Notice Purchase Price referenced in such Exercise Notice, for settlement within the normal settlement period for such Collateral. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall assert any right or remedy in respect of the Collateral or cause the liquidation or disposition of the Loan Assets to occur during the time that the Transferor is entitled to provide an Exercise Notice. The Exercise Notice Purchase Price must be received by the Administrative Agent, or its designee, in immediately available funds no later than ten (10) Business Days following delivery of the Exercise Notice hereunder, or, if earlier, the date of settlement for such Collateral. In the event that the Exercise Notice is not timely provided and/or the Exercise Notice Purchase Price is not timely received, each pursuant to the conditions set forth in this Section 7.03, the Administrative Agent may forthwith liquidate the Loan Assets.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.01 Indemnities by the Borrower.

(a) Except for Taxes (other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim) and without limiting any other rights which the Affected Parties, the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Administrator or any of their respective Affiliates may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Affected Parties, the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Collateral Custodian and each of their respective Affiliates, assigns, officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party” for purposes of this Article VIII) against, and to hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”), awarded against or actually incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or in respect of any of the Collateral or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, including the enforcement of this Agreement or any Transaction Document against the Borrower, regardless of whether any such Indemnified Party is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or shareholders); provided that Indemnified Amounts shall not be available to an Indemnified Party to the extent that such damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted solely from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party or (ii) result from the uncollectibility of any Loan Asset due to the Obligor’s financial inability to pay.

(b) Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 8.01 shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party within two (2) Business Days (or, if an Equity Cure Notice was delivered with respect to such amount, ten (10) Business Days) following the Administrative Agent’s written demand therefor on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party (and the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amounts). The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Indemnified Party making a request for indemnification under this Section 8.01, shall submit to the Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis for and the computations of the Indemnified Amounts with respect to which such indemnification is requested, which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 8.01 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

148

(d) If the Borrower has made any payments in respect of Indemnified Amounts to the Administrative Agent on behalf of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.01 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Borrower, without interest.

(e) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.01 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, the Servicer, the Account Bank, the Collateral Administrator, or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.02 Indemnities by Servicer.

(a) Without limiting any other rights which any Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts, awarded against or incurred by any Indemnified Party as a consequence of (x) any acts or omissions by the Servicer in breach of its duties hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or (y) any breach by the Servicer of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Servicer hereunder or under any other Transaction Document; provided that Indemnified Amounts shall not be available to an Indemnified Party to the extent that such Indemnified Amounts (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party or (ii) resulting from the performance of the Loan Assets (including without limitation any change in the market value of such Loan Asset). This Section 8.02 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims and damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b) Any Indemnified Amounts shall be paid by the Servicer to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Indemnified Party, within five (5) Business Days following receipt by the Servicer of the Administrative Agent’s written demand therefor (and the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amounts).

(c) If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.02 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Servicer, without interest.

(d) The obligations of the Servicer under this Section 8.02 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, the Borrower, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

149

(e) Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall not be payable from the Collateral.

(f) The Servicer shall have no liability for making indemnification hereunder to the extent any such indemnification constitutes recourse for uncollectible or uncollected Loan Assets.

Section 8.03 Waiver of Certain Claims. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, none of the Borrower or the Servicer shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.

Section 8.04 Legal Proceedings. In the event an Indemnified Party becomes involved in any action, claim, or legal, governmental or administrative proceeding (an “Action”) for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other party or parties against whom it seeks indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the nature and particulars of the Action; provided that its failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure has a material adverse effect on the Indemnifying Party. Upon written notice to the Indemnified Party acknowledging in writing that the indemnification provided hereunder applies to the Indemnified Party in connection with the Action (subject to the exclusion in the first sentence of Section 8.01, the first sentence of Section 8.02, as applicable), the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of the Action at its expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel in connection with the Action, and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party after the Indemnifying Party has done so; provided that if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the Action, or that the Indemnifying Party is not conducting the defense of the Action in a manner reasonably protective of the interests of the Indemnified Party, the reasonable and documented external legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one Action or separate but substantially similar or related Actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (and any required local counsel) for such Indemnified Party, which firm (and local counsel, if any) shall be designated in writing to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Action, it shall have full control over the conduct of such defense; provided that the Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall, as requested by the Indemnified Party or its counsel, consult with and keep them informed with respect to the conduct of such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle an Action without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement provides for the full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in connection with the Action. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Action.

150

Section 8.05 After-Tax Basis. Indemnification under Sections 8.01 and Section 8.02 shall be in an amount necessary to make the Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any Tax consequences to the Indemnified Party of the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder, including the effect of such Tax or refund on the amount of Tax measured by net income or profits that is or was payable by the Indemnified Party.

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 9.01 The Administrative Agent.

(a) Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and xxxxxx further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each Lender. Each Lender further authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects with reasonable care.

(c) Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except, subject to Section 9.01(b), for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). Each Secured Party hereby waives any and all claims against the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the

151

Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except, subject to Section 9.01(b), for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Transferor), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the Borrower, the Transferor, or the Servicer or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower, the Transferor, or the Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by email) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; (vi) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith; and (vii) shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any portion of any Advance and the I/O Notional Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Advance or the I/O Notional Loan, as applicable, shall have been transferred in accordance with this Agreement and all actions required by such section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken.

(d) Actions by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall 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 the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. In the event the Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten (10) Business Days of such Person’s receipt of such request, then such Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the relevant action.

152

(e) Notice of Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Default, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender, the Borrower or the Servicer referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Event of Default,” “Notice of Unmatured Event of Default” or “Notice of Servicer Default,” as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 9.01(c)) take such action with respect to such Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders acting jointly or as the Administrative Agent shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

(f) Credit Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender and each Secured Party acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Transferor or any of their respective Affiliates or review or approval of any of the Collateral, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender and each Secured Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender and each Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender and each Secured Party hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Transferor or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

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

153

(h) Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time, effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, by giving at least five (5) days’ written notice thereof to each Lender and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with cause by the Lenders acting jointly. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the approval of the Borrower (which approval shall not be (i) unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or (ii) required at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default or after the declaration or automatic occurrence of the Facility Maturity Date). Each Lender agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent shall be either (x) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (y) an Affiliate of such a bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

(i) Payments by the Administrative Agent. Unless specifically allocated to a specific Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares in the applicable Advances Outstanding, or if there are no Advances Outstanding in accordance with their related Lender’s most recent Commitments, on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such Business Day, in which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to each Lender on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such Lender not later than the following Business Day.

(j) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or prospective Lender is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Advances, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

The Collateral Agent hereby accepts such agency appointment to act as Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, until its resignation or removal as Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b) Successor Collateral Agent.

The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby appoint Citibank, in its capacity as Collateral Agent hereunder, as their agent for the purposes of perfection of a security interest in the Collateral. Citibank, in its capacity as Collateral Agent hereunder, xxxxxx accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties set forth in Section 10.02(b).

Section 10.02 Duties of Collateral Agent.

(a) Appointment. The Lenders, the Borrower, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent each hereby appoints Citibank to act as Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent xxxxxx accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and obligations with respect thereto set forth herein.

(b) Duties. On or before the initial Advance Date, and until its removal pursuant to Section 10.05, the Collateral Agent shall perform, on behalf of the Secured Parties, the following duties and obligations:

(i) The Collateral Agent shall make payments pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Report or as otherwise directed in accordance with Sections 2.04 or 2.05.

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall establish the Collection Account, the Custodial Account and the Unfunded Exposure Account in the name of the Borrower subject to the lien and control of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

(c) (i) The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Secured Party further authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby appoints the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including, the execution by the Collateral Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Loan Assets now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. Nothing in this Section 10.02(c) shall be deemed to relieve the Borrower or the Servicer of their respective obligations to protect the interest of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral, including to file financing and continuation statements in respect of the Collateral in accordance with Section 5.01(u).

(ii) The Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Agent to take any such incidental action hereunder.

In the event the Collateral Agent requests the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such request, then the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.

(iii) Except as expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any duty or obligation to take any affirmative action to exercise or enforce any power, right or remedy available to it under this Agreement unless and until (and to the extent) expressly so directed by the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including an Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge of such matter or written notice thereof is received by the Collateral Agent.

All such notices and correspondence shall be deemed given (a) if sent by certified or registered mail, three (3) Business Days after being postmarked, (b) if sent by overnight delivery service or by hand delivery, when received at the above stated addresses or when delivery is refused and (c) if sent by email, when received,

Section 12.03 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 12.04 Binding Effect; Assignability; Multiple Lenders.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Account Bank, the Collateral Custodian and their respective successors and permitted assigns. With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (unless such assignment is to an Affiliate of a Lender or is otherwise required by Applicable Law), each Lender and their respective successors and assigns may assign, grant a security interest or sell a participation interest in, (i) this Agreement and such Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations hereunder and interest herein in whole or in part (including by way of the sale of participation interests therein) and/or (ii) any Advance or the I/O Notional Loan (or portion thereof) to any Person; provided that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower has provided its written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such assignment to any Person that is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (but, for the avoidance of doubt, no such consent of the Borrower shall be required for any grant of a security interest to any Person, an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, an assignment to a Person that is not a Disqualified Institution or an assignment that is required by Applicable Law). Any such assignee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a fully-executed assignment and acceptance agreement in the form of Exhibit K hereto (an “Assignment and Acceptance”). The parties to any such assignment, grant or sale of a participation interest shall execute and deliver to the related Lender for its acceptance and recording in its books and records, such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties and the applicable Lender. None of the Borrower, the Transferor or the Servicer may assign, or permit any Lien to exist upon, any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any Transaction Document or any interest herein or in any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of each Lender and the Administrative Agent.

172

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.04, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, rights to payment of principal and interest with respect to the Advances and/or rights to payment of interest with respect to the I/O Notional Loan, as applicable) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(c) Each Affected Party and each Indemnified Party shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

(d) Upon the effectiveness of any assignment by any Lender of all or any of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents, any Advance and/or the I/O Notional Loan pursuant to Section 12.04(a) and the delivery to the Administrative Agent of all assignment documentation and the Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall revise Annex A to reflect such assignment.

(e) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest on the Advances or stated interest on the I/O Loan, as applicable) of each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (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 commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) In the event Lender sells a participation in this Agreement or any Advance, the Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.10, Section 2.11 and Section 2.22 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.11(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.11(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.04(a); provided that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.22 as if it were an assignee under Section 12.04(a); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 or Section 2.11, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation.

173

Section 12.05 Term of This Agreement. This Agreement, including, the Borrower’s representations and covenants set forth in Articles IV and V and the Servicer’s representations, covenants and duties set forth in Articles IV, V and VI, shall remain in full force and effect until the Collection Date; provided that the rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or the Servicer pursuant to Articles III and IV and the indemnification and payment provisions of Article VIII, IX and Article XII and the provisions of Section 2.10, Section 2.11, Section 12.07 and Section 12.09 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

177

Section 12.11 Characterization of Conveyances Pursuant to the Sale and Contribution Agreement.

(a) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Eligible Loan Assets by the Transferor to the Borrower as contemplated by the Sale and Contribution Agreement be, and be treated for all purposes as, a sale by the Transferor of such Eligible Loan Assets. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Eligible Loan Assets by the Transferor to the Borrower to secure a debt or other obligation of the Transferor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Eligible Loan Assets are held to continue to be property of the Transferor, then the parties hereto agree that: (i) the Sale and Contribution Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement under Applicable Law; (ii) as set forth in the Sale and Contribution Agreement, the transfer of the Eligible Loan Assets provided for in the Sale and Contribution Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by the Transferor to the Borrower of a first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in all of the Transferor’s right, title and interest in and to the Eligible Loan Assets and all amounts payable to the holders of the Eligible Loan Assets in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Controlled Accounts, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (iii) the possession by the Borrower (or the Collateral Custodian on its behalf) of Loan Assets and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be, subject to clause (iv) below, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC; and (iv) acknowledgements from Persons holding such property shall be deemed acknowledgements from custodians, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Borrower for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under Applicable Law. The parties further agree that any assignment of the interest of the Borrower pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Contribution Agreement. The Borrower shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if the Sale and Contribution Agreement was deemed to create a security interest in the Eligible Loan Assets, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority (subject only to Permitted Liens) under Applicable Law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.

(b) It is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the Eligible Loan Assets conveyed by the Transferor to the Borrower pursuant to the Sale and Contribution Agreement shall constitute assets owned by the Borrower and shall not be part of the Transferor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Transferor under any bankruptcy or similar law.

(c) The Borrower agrees to treat, and shall cause the Transferor to treat, for all purposes, the transactions effected by the Sale and Contribution Agreement as sales of assets to the Borrower. The Borrower and the Servicer each hereby agree to cause the Transferor to reflect in the Transferor’s financial records and to include a note in the publicly filed annual and quarterly financial statements of the Transferor indicating that assets sold to the Borrower under the Sale and Contribution Agreement are owned by the Borrower that is consolidated in the Transferor’s financial statements, the creditors of the Borrower have received security interests in such assets and such assets are not intended to be available to the creditors of the Transferor (or any other affiliate of the Transferor).

178

Section 12.12 Confidentiality.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Borrower, the Account Bank, the Transferor and the Collateral Custodian shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement (and the terms thereof) and all information with respect to the other parties, including all information regarding the Loan Assets and the Borrower and the Servicer hereto and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that each such party and its officers and employees may (i) disclose such information to its external accountants, investigators, auditors, attorneys or other agents, including (1) any advisor engaged by such party in connection with portfolio management, monitoring and reporting solutions with respect to the transactions and Loan Assets contemplated herein and the agents of such Persons and (2) any valuation firm engaged by such party in connection with any due diligence or comparable activities with respect to the transactions and Loan Assets contemplated herein and the agents of such Persons (“Excepted Persons”); provided that each Excepted Person shall, as a condition to any such disclosure, agree for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Borrower, the Account Bank, the Transferor and the Collateral Custodian (A) to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement (and the terms thereof) and all information with respect to the other parties, including all information regarding the Loan Assets and the Borrower and the Servicer hereto and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, and (B) that such information shall be used solely in connection with such Excepted Person’s evaluation of, or relationship with, the Borrower and its affiliates; provided, further, that upon such Excepted Person’s agreement to the foregoing sub-clauses (A) and (B), the Borrower and the Servicer shall be deemed to have consented to the disclosure of such information to such Excepted Person, (ii) disclose such information as is required by Applicable Law and (iii) disclose this Agreement and such information in any suit, action, proceeding or investigation (whether in law or in equity or pursuant to arbitration) involving any of the Transaction Documents for the purpose of defending itself, reducing its liability, or protecting or exercising any of its claims, rights, remedies, or interests under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents. It is understood that the financial terms that may not be disclosed except in compliance with this Section 12.13(a) include, all fees and other pricing terms, and all Events of Default, Servicer Defaults, and priority of payment provisions.

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower and the Servicer each hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it (i) to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Account Bank, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Custodian by each other or (ii) by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Account Bank, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Custodian to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any of them provided such Person agrees to hold such information confidential, and to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing, provided each such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information. In addition, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Account Bank and the Collateral Custodian may disclose any such nonpublic information as required pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law).

179

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known (after such information becomes publicly known); (ii) disclosure of any and all information (A) if required to do so by any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation, (B) to any government agency or regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or oversee any aspects of the Lenders’, the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s, the Collateral Administrator’s, the Account Bank’s or the Collateral Custodian’s business or that of their affiliates, (C) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar demand or request of any court, regulatory authority, arbitrator or arbitration to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Custodian or the Account Bank or an officer, director, employer, shareholder or affiliate of any of the foregoing is a party, (D) in any preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement or contract or other document approved in advance by the Borrower, the Servicer or the Transferor, (E) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or (F) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Custodian having a need to know the same, provided that the disclosing party advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed; or (iii) any other disclosure authorized by the Borrower, Servicer or the Transferor.
