The failure of a Purchaser Agent or a Liquidity Bank to provide timely notice of its decision to the Seller shall be deemed to constitute a refusal by such Purchaser or such Liquidity Bank (as applicable) to extend the date set forth in clause (c) of the definition of Termination Date or the term of the Liquidity Agreement, respectively. The Seller confirms that each Liquidity Bank and each Purchaser, in their sole and absolute discretion, without regard to the value or performance of the Collateral or any other factor, may elect not to extend any Liquidity Agreement or the date set forth in clause (c) of the definition of Termination Date (as applicable).

(e) The Seller may, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, request that an existing Purchaser increase its Commitment in connection with a corresponding increase in the Adjusted Facility Amount or, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, add additional Persons as Purchasers; provided that: (i) if the addition of any Purchaser or the increase of any Purchaser’s Commitment would cause the aggregate Commitments of the Purchasers to exceed $900,000,000, such addition or increase may be effected only with the consent of the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent and (ii) the Commitment of any Purchaser may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Purchaser and its related Purchaser Agent. Each new Purchaser and Purchaser Agent shall become a party hereto by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Seller an Additional Purchaser Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement and the VFCs to be issued thereunder shall constitute a single revolving debt facility with a single maturity and in no event shall Seller effect a sale of any VFC to an existing Purchaser (or to an additional Purchaser) or take any other action under the Agreement that would cause Seller to have outstanding one or more debt obligations with two or more maturities hereunder. For purposes of this section, debt obligations have “two or more maturities” if they have different stated maturities or if the holders of the debt obligations possess different rights concerning the acceleration of or delay in the maturities of the obligations.

Any reduction of the Advances Outstanding shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000. Any such reduction will occur only if sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all such amounts in the succeeding sentence in full. Upon receipt of such amounts, the Purchaser Agents shall apply such amounts first to the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding, second to the payment of related accrued Interest on the amount of the Advances Outstanding to be repaid by paying such amounts to the respective Purchasers, and third to the payment of any Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs and any other payments owing to the applicable Hedge Counterparty in respect of the termination of any Hedge Transaction. Any notice relating to any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) shall be irrevocable.

(c) If on any day (i) the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, does not own or have a valid and perfected first priority security interest in any of the Collateral or (ii) any Asset which has been represented by the Seller to be an Eligible Asset is later determined not to have been an Eligible Asset as of the related Cut-Off Date, upon the earlier of the Seller’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent or the Seller becoming aware thereof and the Seller’s failure to cure such breach within 30 days, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a collection (a “Deemed Collection”) of such Asset in full and shall on such day pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers and each Hedge Counterparty, an amount equal to (x) (1) the Outstanding Asset Balance of the Asset (or, in the case of the Tandem Asset, the Tandem Outstanding Asset Balance) to be applied to the pro rata reduction of the principal of each VFC plus (y) any Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs and any other payments owing to the applicable Hedge Counterparty in respect of the termination of any Hedge Transaction required as a result of the Deemed Collection and retransfer of the related Asset

contemplated by this Section 2.4(c). In connection with any such Deemed Collection, the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, shall automatically and without further action, be deemed to transfer to the Seller, free and clear of any Lien created by the Administrative Agent, all of the right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in, to, and under the Asset with respect to which the Administrative Agent has received such Deemed Collection, but without any other representation and warranty of any kind, express or implied.

Section 2.5 Determination of Interest.

(a) To the extent any Purchaser’s Interest Rate is determined by reference to the CP Rate, each Purchaser Agent shall determine such Purchaser’s CP Rate and the Interest (including unpaid Interest, if any, due and payable on a prior Payment Date) to be paid by the Seller with respect to each Advance, as applicable, on each Payment Date for the related Accrual Period and shall advise the Servicer thereof on or before the third Business Day prior to such Payment Date.

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

Section 2.6 Percentage Evidenced by each Variable Funding Certificate.

The variable percentage ownership interest in the Collateral represented by each VFC shall be initially computed on its date of purchase. Thereafter, until the Termination Date, each VFC shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each day prior to the Termination Date. The variable percentage ownership interest in the Collateral represented by each VFC as computed (or deemed to be recomputed) as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Termination Date shall remain constant at all times on and after the Termination Date. The variable percentage ownership interest in the Collateral represented by each VFC shall become zero when its Advances and Interest have been indefeasibly paid in full.

Section 2.7 [Reserved].

Section 2.8 Notations on Variable Funding Certificates.

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

Section 2.15 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.

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

(b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other governmental authority or agency (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation, compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, within ten days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Servicer shall pay (and to the extent the Servicer does not make such payment the Seller shall pay) directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, if the issuance of Interpretation No. 46 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or any other change in accounting standards or the issuance of any other pronouncement, release or interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the assets and liabilities of the Originator or Seller with the assets and liabilities of the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or any Liquidity Bank, such event shall constitute a circumstance on which such Affected Party may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 2.15.

(c) If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15, any Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial

institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then within ten days after demand by such Affected Party, the Servicer shall pay (or to the extent the Servicer does not make such payment the Seller shall pay) to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts payable or paid by it.

(d) In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.15, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.15 shall submit to the Servicer a written description as to such additional or increased cost or reduction and the calculation thereof, which written description shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

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

Section 2.16 Taxes.

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

(b) The Servicer will indemnify (and to the extent the indemnification provided by the Servicer is insufficient the Seller will indemnify) each Affected Party for the full amount of Taxes payable by such Person in respect of Additional Amounts and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within ten days from the date a written invoice therefor is delivered to the Seller.

(c) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Seller and the Servicer of any Taxes, the Seller and the Servicer will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each of the

Purchaser Agents at its address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof, appropriate evidence of payment thereof.

(d) If a Purchaser is not created or organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, such Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, (i) within 15 days after the date hereof, two (or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms or other certificates or statements that may be required from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities or Applicable Laws), as appropriate, to permit the Seller to make payments hereunder for the account of such Purchaser without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes and (ii) upon the obsolescence of or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in, any form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.16(d), copies (in such numbers as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws or regulations) of such additional, amended or successor forms, certificates or statements as may be required under Applicable Laws or regulations to permit the Seller and the Servicer to make payments hereunder for the account of such Purchaser without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes.

(e) If, in connection with an agreement or other document providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to the Purchasers in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, the Purchasers are required to compensate a bank or other financial institution in respect of Taxes under circumstances similar to those described in this Section 2.16, then, within ten days after demand by the Purchasers, the Servicer shall pay (or to the extent the Servicer does not make such payment the Seller shall pay) to the Purchasers such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse the Purchasers for any amounts paid by them.

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Seller and the Servicer hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Seller and the Servicer contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

The Seller hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to, but none of its obligations under, the Sale Agreement and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Seller hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties its right to indemnification under Article VIII of the Sale Agreement. The Seller confirms that the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the sole right to enforce the Seller’s rights and remedies under the Sale Agreement and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

Section 2.18 Substitution of Assets.

On any day prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event (and after the Termination Date at the discretion of the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Purchaser Agents), the Seller may, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.18 and subject to the other restrictions contained herein, replace any Asset other than the Tandem Asset with one or more Eligible Assets (each, a “Substitute Asset”); provided that no such replacement shall occur unless each of the following conditions is satisfied as of the date of such replacement and substitution:

(viii) using its reasonable best efforts to maintain the perfected security interest of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in the Collateral;

(ix) maintaining in the same manner as the Collateral Custodian holds the Required Asset Documents, the Asset File (other than Required Asset Documents) with respect to each Asset included as part of the Collateral; and

(x) the Servicer shall make payments pursuant to the terms of the Monthly Report in accordance with Section 2.9 and Section 2.10.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent and the Secured Parties of their rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer, the Originator or the Seller from any of their duties or responsibilities with respect to the Collateral. The Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent and the Collateral Custodian (except in the role of Backup Servicer) shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Servicer hereunder.

(d) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any Indebtedness owed by it to the Originator or the Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or Applicable Law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, be applied as a Collection of an item of Collateral of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Collateral) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

Section 6.3 Authorization of the Servicer.

(a) Each of the Seller, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent, each Purchaser and each Hedge Counterparty hereby authorizes the Servicer (including any successor thereto) to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with the sale of the Collateral to the Purchasers and each Hedge Counterparty, in the determination of the Servicer, to collect all amounts due under any and all Collateral, including, without limitation, endorsing any of their names on checks and other instruments representing Collections, executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral and, after the delinquency of any Collateral and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as the Originator could have done if it had continued to own such Collateral. The Originator, the Seller and the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and each Hedge Counterparty shall furnish the Servicer (and any

108

successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Servicer to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectibility of the Collateral. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make the Secured Parties, any Hedge Counterparty, the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent or the Purchaser Agents a party to any litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make the Seller a party to any litigation (other than any routine foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent’s and each Purchaser Agent’s consent.

(b) After a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, at the direction the Administrative Agent, the Servicer shall take such action as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Collateral; provided that the Administrative Agent may, at any time that a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, notify any Obligor with respect to any Collateral of the assignment of such Collateral to the Administrative Agent and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due be made directly to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent or any servicer, collection agent or lock-box or other account designated by the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Seller, the Administrative Agent may enforce collection of any such Collateral, and (with the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents) adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.

Section 6.4 Collection of Payments.

(a) Collection Efforts, Modification of Collateral. The Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Assets included in the Collateral as and when the same become due in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, and will follow those collection procedures that it follows with respect to all comparable Collateral that it services for itself or others. The Servicer may not waive, modify or otherwise vary any provision of an item of Collateral in a manner that, in its reasonable judgment, would impair the collectibility of the Collateral or in any manner contrary to the Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer may otherwise amend or modify the underlying documents related to any item of Collateral in compliance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

(b) Prepaid Asset. Prior to a Termination Event, upon any Asset becoming a Prepaid Asset, the Servicer shall either (x) provide a Substitute Asset in accordance with Section 2.18 or (y) deposit to the Collection Account (in addition to all amounts received from the related Obligor upon the prepayment of such Asset) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the sum of (a) the Outstanding Asset Balance on the date of such payment, (b) any outstanding Servicer Advances thereon, (c) any accrued and unpaid interest, and (d) all Hedge Breakage Costs owing to the relevant Hedge Counterparty for any termination of one or more Hedge Transactions, in whole or in part, as required by the terms of any Hedging Agreement as the result of any such Asset becoming a Prepaid Asset, over the amount received from the related Obligor upon such prepayment (such excess, the “Prepayment Amount”), in each case, only to the extent necessary to cause the Availability as of such date (after giving effect to such substitution or deposit, as applicable) to be greater than or equal to zero. After a Termination Event has occurred, upon any Asset becoming a Prepaid Asset, the Servicer shall deposit to the Collection Account all

109

amounts received from the related Obligor upon the prepayment of such Asset plus the Prepayment Amount, if any.

(c) Acceleration. If required by the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer shall accelerate the maturity of all or any Scheduled Payments and other amounts due under any Asset in which a default under the terms thereof has occurred and is continuing (after the lapse of any applicable grace period) promptly after such Asset becomes a Charged-Off Asset.

(d) Taxes and other Amounts. To the extent provided for in any Asset, the Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts to collect all payments with respect to amounts due for taxes, assessments and insurance premiums relating to such Asset and remit such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or insurer on or prior to the date such payments are due.

(e) Payments to Lock-Box Account. Subject to Section 5.1(p), on or before the applicable Cut-Off Date, the Servicer shall have instructed all Obligors to make all payments in respect of the Collateral to the Lock-Box or directly to the Lock-Box Account.

(f) Establishment of the Collection Account. The Servicer shall cause to be established, on or before the Closing Date, with the Collateral Custodian, and maintained in the name of the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties, with an office or branch of a depository institution or trust company a segregated corporate trust account entitled Collection Account for Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp., as Administrative Agent for the Secured Parties (the “Collection Account”), and the Servicer shall further maintain a subaccount within the Collection Account for the purpose of segregating, within two Business Days of the receipt of any Collections, Principal Collections (the “Principal Collections Account”), over which the Collateral Custodian as agent for the Secured Parties shall have control and from which neither the Originator, Servicer nor the Seller shall have any right of withdrawal except in accordance with Section 2.9(b); provided that at all times such depository institution or trust company shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and a depository institution organized under the laws of the United States of America or any one of the States thereof or the District of Columbia (or any domestic branch of a foreign bank), (i) (a) that has either (1) a long-term unsecured debt rating of “A” or better by S&P and “A2” or better by Xxxxx’x or (2) a short-term unsecured debt rating or certificate of deposit rating of “A-1” or better by S&P or “P-1” or better by Xxxxx’x, (b) the parent corporation of which has either (1) a long-term unsecured debt rating of “A” or better by S&P and “A2” or better by Xxxxx’x or (2) a short-term unsecured debt rating or certificate of deposit rating of “A-1” or better by S&P and “P-1” or better by Xxxxx’x or (c) is otherwise acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent and (ii) whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (any such depository institution or trust company, a “Qualified Institution”).

(g) Establishment of the Excess Spread Account. The Seller or the Servicer on its behalf shall establish, on or before the Closing Date, with the Collateral Custodian, and cause to be maintained in the name of the Seller and assigned to the Administrative Agent, with a Qualified Institution an account into which all amounts paid by the Originator pursuant to Section 2.21 of this Agreement shall be deposited (the “Excess Spread Account”). Upon receipt of the Required Equity Contribution Notice the Seller shall deposit within the timeframe set forth in Section 2.21 an amount of cash into the Excess Spread Account equal to the Required Equity

110

Shortfall. To the extent that, on any Payment Date during the Amortization Period, there are funds on deposit in the Excess Spread Account, such funds shall be applied on such Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.10.

(h) Establishment of the Securities Account. The Seller or the Servicer on its behalf shall establish, on or before the date any CMBS Security becomes a part of the Collateral, an account with the Securities Intermediary to which financial assets may be credited (the “Securities Account”) pursuant to Section 8.11. Upon receipt of any Collections to the Securities Account the Servicer shall cause the transfer of such Collections to the Collection Account by the close of business on the Business Day after such Collections are so received into the Securities Account.

(i) Adjustments. If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the Collection Account in respect of a Collection of an item of Collateral and such Collection was received by the Servicer in the form of a check that is not honored for any reason or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Collection, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake. Any Scheduled Payment in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.

Section 6.5 Servicer Advances.

For each Collection Period, if the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) that was due and payable pursuant to an Asset during such Collection Period was not received prior to the last day of such Collection Period, the Servicer may (in its sole and absolute discretion) make an advance in an amount up to the amount of such delinquent Scheduled Payment. The Servicer will deposit any Servicer Advances into the Collection Account on or prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City, New York time) on the Business Day prior to the related Payment Date, in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Successor Servicer shall have any responsibility to make Servicer Advances.

Section 6.6 Realization Upon Charged-Off Assets.

The Servicer will use reasonable efforts to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Related Property relating to a Charged-Off Asset and will act as sales and processing agent for Related Property that it repossesses. The Servicer will follow such other practices and procedures as it deems necessary or advisable and as are customary and usual in its servicing of contracts and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such Related Property, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to enforce all obligations of Obligors and repossessing and selling such Related Property at public or private sale in circumstances other than those described in the preceding sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless the Administrative Agent has specifically given instruction to the contrary, the Servicer may sell any such Related Property to the Servicer or its Affiliates for a purchase price equal to the then fair market value thereof, any such sale to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to the Administrative Agent setting

111

forth the Asset, the Related Property, the sale price of the Related Property and certifying that such sale price is the fair market value of such Related Property. In any case in which any such Related Property has suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any repair or toward the repossession of such Related Property unless it reasonably determines that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Recoveries by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer will remit to the Collection Account the Recoveries received in connection with the sale or disposition of Related Property relating to a Charged-Off Asset.

Section 6.7 Maintenance of Insurance Policies.

The Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that each Obligor maintains an Insurance Policy with respect to any Related Property (other than accounts receivable) in an amount at least equal to the Servicer’s good faith and commercially reasonable estimate of the value of the real property, inventory, and/or equipment constituting such Related Property and shall ensure that each such Insurance Policy names the Servicer as loss payee and as an insured thereunder and all of the Seller’s right, title and interest therein is fully assigned to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties. Additionally, the Servicer will require that each Obligor maintain property damage liability insurance during the term of each Asset in amounts and against risks customarily insured against by the Obligor on property owned by it. If an Obligor fails to maintain property damage insurance, the Servicer may in its discretion purchase and maintain such insurance on behalf of, and at the expense of, the Obligor. In connection with its activities as Servicer, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of the Administrative Agent, claims to the insurer under each Insurance Policy and any such liability policy, and to settle, adjust and compromise such claims, in each case, consistent with the terms of each Asset. The Servicer’s Insurance Policies with respect to the Related Property will insure against liability for physical damage relating to such Related Property in accordance with the requirements of the Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer hereby disclaims any and all right, title and interest in and to any Insurance Policy and Insurance Proceeds with respect to any Related Property, including any Insurance Policy with respect to which it is named as loss payee and as an insured, and agrees that it has no equitable, beneficial or other interest in the Insurance Polices and Insurance Proceeds other than being named as loss payee and as an insured. The Servicer acknowledges that with respect to the Insurance Policies and Insurance Proceeds thereof that it is acting solely in the capacity as agent for the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties.

Section 6.8 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its servicing activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.9(a)(3) or Section 2.10(a)(3), as applicable.

Section 6.9 Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer.

The Servicer will be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement, including fees and disbursements of independent accountants,

112

Taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with payments and reports pursuant to this Agreement, and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement for the account of the Seller, but excluding Liquidation Expenses incurred as a result of activities contemplated by Section 6.6; provided that for avoidance of doubt, to the extent Liquidation Expenses relate to a Loan and a Retained Interest such Liquidation Expenses shall be allocated pro rata. The Servicer will be required to pay all reasonable fees and expenses owing to any bank or trust company in connection with the maintenance of the Collection Account and the Lock-Box Account. The Servicer shall be required to pay such expenses for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than the Servicing Fee.

(a) Borrowing Notice. On each Funding Date, on each reduction of Advances Outstanding pursuant to Section 2.4(b) and on each reinvestment of Principal Collections pursuant to Section 2.9(b), the Seller (and the Servicer on its behalf) will provide a Borrowing Notice, updated as of such date, to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Custodian).

If any one of the following events (a “Servicer Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

(a) any failure by the Servicer to make any payment, transfer or deposit (including without limitation with respect to Collections) as required by this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day;

Section 6.16 Appointment of Successor Servicer.

(a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice pursuant to Section 6.15, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent, until a date mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents) may at the time described in the immediately preceding sentence, appoint the Backup Servicer as the Servicer hereunder, and the Backup Servicer shall on such date assume all obligations of the Servicer hereunder, and all authority and power of the Servicer

The indemnification obligations of the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, upon becoming a Successor Servicer, are expressly limited to those arising on account of its failure to act in good faith and with reasonable care under the circumstances. In addition, the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Servicer contained in Article IV. Further, for so long as the Backup Servicer shall be the Successor Servicer, the provisions of Section 2.15, Section 2.16(b) and Section 2.16(e) of this Agreement shall not apply to it in its capacity as Servicer.

(c) All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of this Agreement and shall pass to and be vested in the Seller and, without limitation, the Seller is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Seller in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing of the Collateral.

117

(d) Upon the Backup Servicer receiving notice that it is required to serve as the Servicer hereunder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.16, the Backup Servicer will promptly begin the transition to its role as Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Backup Servicer may, in its discretion, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established servicing institution as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. As compensation, any Successor Servicer (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent) so appointed shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee, together with any other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise as provided herein that accrued prior thereto, including, without limitation, Transition Expenses. In the event the Backup Servicer is required to solicit bids as provided herein, the Backup Servicer shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 6.16(a). Such public announcement shall specify that the Successor Servicer shall be entitled to the full amount of the Servicing Fee as servicing compensation, together with the other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise that accrued prior thereto. Within 30 days after any such public announcement, the Backup Servicer shall negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest qualifying bid. The Backup Servicer shall deduct from any sum received by the Backup Servicer from the successor to the Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder and the amount of any unreimbursed Servicing Advances. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Backup Servicer to the Servicer at the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to the Servicer’s successor. The Backup Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. No appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder shall be effective until written notice of such proposed appointment shall have been provided by the Backup Servicer to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent and the Backup Servicer shall have consented thereto. The Backup Servicer shall not resign as servicer until a Successor Servicer has been appointed and accepted such appointment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Xxxxx Fargo, in any capacity, be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any Successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for by this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

SECURITY INTEREST

Section 9.1 Grant of Security Interest.

The parties to this Agreement intend that the conveyance of the Collateral by the Seller to the applicable Purchasers be treated as sales for all purposes (other than for the purposes described in Section 13.19). If, despite such intention, a determination is made that such transactions not be treated as sales, then the parties hereto intend that this Agreement constitute a security agreement and the transactions effected hereby constitute secured loans by the applicable Purchasers to the Seller under Applicable Law. For such purpose, the Seller hereby transfers, conveys, assigns and grants as of the Closing Date to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, a lien and continuing security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of the obligations under) all Collateral (including any Hedging Agreements), whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired by the Seller, and wherever the same may be located, to secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Aggregate Unpaids of the Seller arising in connection with this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, including, without limitation, all Aggregate Unpaids. The assignment under this Section 9.1 does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, any Hedge Counterparty, the Liquidity Banks or any of the Secured Parties of any obligation of the Seller or any other Person in connection with any or all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the Seller shall remain liable under the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Seller from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral, and (c) none of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, any Hedge Counterparty, the Liquidity Banks or any Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, any Hedge Counterparty, the Liquidity Banks or any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Seller thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

Principal Collections received by the Seller or the Servicer on any Revolving Loans will be allocated first to the portion of such Revolving Loan owned by the Seller, until the principal amount of such portion is reduced to zero, and then to the portion not owned by the Seller; provided that if (i) a payment default occurs with respect to any of the related Loans, (ii) a Liquidity Factor Reduction Event occurs and continues, (iii) the Originator has determined in its sole discretion that an Obligor’s credit has deteriorated or the Originator has determined in its sole discretion to reduce its commitment to an Obligor, or (iv) an Allocation Adjustment Event occurs, then Principal Collections received on (x) the applicable Loan (in the case of clause (i) or (iii) above or during the time that a Liquidity Factor Reduction Event exists and continues in the case of clause (ii) above) or (y) all the Revolving Loans (in the case of clauses (iv) above) will be allocated between the portion owned by the Seller and the portion not owned by the Seller, pro rata based upon the outstanding principal amount of each such portion.

(b) With respect to any Term Loans included in the Collateral subject to the Retained Interest provisions of this Agreement, Principal Collections and Interest Collections received by the Servicer will be allocated between the portion owned by the Seller and to the portion not owned by the Seller (if any) on a pro rata basis according to the outstanding principal amount of such portion.

Section 13.19 Tax Treatment of Advances.

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