(b) On the date of each Investment specified in the applicable Investment Request, the Purchasers (ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments)each Purchaser shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 and pursuant to the other conditions set forth herein, make availableremit to the SellerAdministrative Agent in same day funds an aggregate amount (which shall constituteto the account specified by the Administrative Agent for such purpose, such Purchaser’s ratable share of the Capital of such Investment) equal to the amount (as determined pursuant to Section 2.01(a)) such that the Administrative Agent is able to, and the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent the Purchasers have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 5.02 and the other conditions set forth herein, fund the Capital of such Investment requested, at the account set forth in the related Investment ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇ the Seller on the date of such Investment; provided that if any Purchaser fails to remit such funds to the Administrative Agent in a timely manner, the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds such Purchaser’s portion of such Capital on the date thereof, and such Purchaser shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 3.04(a).

(c) Each Purchaser’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Purchaser to make available to the Administrative Agent or the Seller any funds in connection with any Investment shall not relieve any other Purchaser of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date such Investment is requested (it being understood, that no Purchaser shall be responsible for the failure of any other Purchaser to make funds available to the Administrative Agent or the Seller in connection with any Investment hereunder)).

(d) The Seller shall repay in full the outstanding Capital, together with all accrued and unpaid Yield, Fees and other Seller Obligations on the Final Maturity Date. Prior thereto, the Seller shall, on each Settlement Date and not later than two (2) Business Days after delivery of any Pool Report that demonstrates the existence of a Capital Coverage Amount Deficit, make a prepayment of the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers to the extent required to eliminate any Capital Coverage Amount Deficit and as otherwise required under Section 3.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller, in its discretion, shall have the right to make a prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers (i) on any Business Day if, at such time (A) PNC (or an Affiliate thereof) is both the Administrative Agent and the sole Purchaser hereunder, (B) the Seller has entered into a PINACLE Agreement and (C) such prepayment is made with PINACLE; provided, that any such prepayment made with PINACLE after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on any day shall be deemed to have been made on the next occurring Business Day, or (ii) upon same-day written notice by delivering to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser a Reduction Notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B no later than 12:00 p.m.12:00 noon Eastern Time on the proposed Business Day of such prepayment (it being understood that any such request made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next occurring Business Day); provided, however, that (i) each such prepayment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000, (ii) the Seller shall not provide any Reduction Notice or corresponding notice through PINACLE as contemplated above, and no such Reduction Notice or corresponding notice through PINACLE shall be effective, if after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Capital at such time would be less than an amount equal to the Minimum Funding Threshold and (iii) any accrued Yield and Fees in respect of such prepaid Capital shall be paid on the immediately following Settlement Date; provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing, a prepayment may be in an amount necessary to reduce any Capital Coverage Amount Deficit existing at such time to zero. All prepayments pursuant to this section shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued and unpaid yield and any associated indemnity payments due under Section 4.02.

(e) The Seller may, at any time upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser, terminate the Facility Limit in whole or ratably reduce the Facility Limit in part. Each partial reduction in the Facility Limit shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and no such partial reduction shall reduce the Facility Limit to an amount less than $75,000,000. In connection with any partial reduction in the Facility Limit, the Commitment of each Purchaser shall be ratably reduced. If the Facility Limit is terminated in whole, the Commitment of each Purchaser shall be reduced to zero. All prepayments pursuant to this section shall be accompanied by any associated indemnity payments due under Section 4.02.

(f) In connection with any reduction of the Commitments, the Seller shall remit to the Administrative Agent (i) instructions regarding such reduction and (ii) for payment to the Purchasers, cash in an amount sufficient to pay (A) Capital of each Purchaser in excess of the Commitment of such Purchaser and (B) all other outstanding Seller Obligations with respect to such reduction (determined based on the ratio of the reduction of the Commitments being effected to the amount of the Commitments prior to such reduction or, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any portion of the outstanding Seller Obligations is allocable solely to that portion of the Commitments being reduced or has arisen solely as a result of such reduction, all of such portion) including, without duplication, any associated indemnity payments due under Section 4.02. Upon receipt of any such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts first to the reduction of the outstanding Capital, and second to the payment of the remaining outstanding Seller Obligations with respect to such reduction, including any associated indemnity payments due under Section 4.02, by paying such amounts to the Purchasers.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, no repayment or prepayment of outstanding Capital by the Seller pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall require the Purchaser to transfer its right, title and interest in, to and under any of the Sold Assets back to the Seller.

(h) So long as no Event of Default or Potential Default exists and is continuing, the Seller may, from time to time prior to the Termination Date, request to increase the Facility Limit (and corresponding Commitments of the Committed Purchasers) by an aggregate amount not to exceed $50,000,000 (the “Maximum Facility Limit Increase”), such that the Facility Limit (and aggregate Commitments) may equal, but shall not exceed, $350,000,000; provided, that each such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000, unless such request is for the full remaining amount of the Maximum Facility Limit Increase. The Seller shall make such request by written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser, and in each such notice, the Seller shall specify (i) the aggregate amount of such increase in the Facility Limit, (ii) the amount (if any) by which each Purchaser’s Commitment is requested to be increased, (iii) the identity of any Person proposed to be joined as a new Purchaser party hereto and the amount such Person’s proposed new Commitment, (iv) the time period within which each Purchaser is requested to respond to the Seller’s request (which shall not be less than fifteen (15) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Seller and the Purchasers may agree in writing, which may be via email) from the date such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers), and (v) the proposed effective date of the requested increase (which shall not be less than fifteen (15) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Seller and the Purchasers may agree in writing, which may be via email) from the date such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers). If any Person is proposed to be joined as a new Purchaser party hereto as contemplated by this clause (g), such joinder shall be subject to the consents required by Section 12.06 as if such joinder were an assignment of a Purchaser’s Commitment and Capital, and no such joinder shall be permitted unless such Person is an Eligible Assignee. Each Purchaser shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Seller within the applicable time period specified in the Seller’s notice as to whether or not such Purchaser agrees, in its sole discretion, to accept the proposed increase (if any) in such Purchaser’s Commitment; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Purchaser

shall have any obligation to accept any such proposed increase in its Commitment. Any Purchaser that does not respond within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment, and its Commitment shall not be increased. In the event that a Purchaser does not agree to increase its Commitment as requested by the Seller, the Seller may (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) request that any unaccepted portion of the requested increases in Commitments be allocated to one or more willing Purchasers or other Person as agreed in writing among the Seller, the Administrative Agent and such willing Person (in each case, acting in such Person’s sole discretion). If the Facility Limit or any Purchaser’s Commitment is increased pursuant to this clause (g), the parties hereto shall enter into such amendments or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to document such increase, and as a condition precedent to any such increase, the Administrative Agent may, in its reasonable discretion and consistent in scope with similar deliverables provided by the SPV Entity-Related Parties in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement on the Closing Date, require (w) resolutions of one or more SPV Entity -Related Parties approving or consenting to such increase and authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of any related amendment to this Agreement, (x) relevant opinions of counsel of the SPV Entity-Related Parties, (y) the payment of agreed-upon fees and (z) such other documents, certifications and agreements reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. No Purchaser’s Commitment shall be increased pursuant to this clause (g) if (x) the Termination Date has occurred, (y) a Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or (z) if such Purchaser has not agreed in writing to such increase.

SECTION 2.03 Yield and Fees.

(a) Fees. On each Settlement Date, the Seller shall, in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in Section 3.01(a), pay to each Purchaser, the Administrative Agent, the Structuring Agent certain fees (collectively, the “Fees”) in the amounts set forth in the fee letter agreements from time to time entered into, among the Seller, the Purchasers and/or the Administrative Agent, the Structuring Agent (each such fee letter agreement is collectively referred to herein as the “Fee Letter”); provided, however, that any Defaulting Purchaser’s right to receive Undrawn Fees shall be subject to the terms of Section 2.06.

All computations of Yield, Fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of amounts determined by reference to the Base Rate, 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

(b) Yield and Fees. The Capital of each Purchaser shall accrue Yield on each day when such Capital remains outstanding at the then-applicable Yield Rate for such Capital. The Seller shall pay all Yield and ▇▇▇▇ accrued during each Yield Period on the first Settlement Date occurring after the end of such Yield Period in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in Section 3.01(a). For the avoidance of doubt, Yield and (except as otherwise specified in the appliable Fee Letter) Fees accrued during each Yield Period shall be due and payable on the first Settlement Date after such Yield Period without regard to the availability of Collections for payment thereof.

(c) Highest Lawful Rate. If at any time the designated rate of interest (including the Yield Rate for such purpose) applicable to any Purchaser’s Capital exceeds such Purchaser’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest (including the Yield Rate for such purpose) on such Purchaser’s Capital shall be limited to such Purchaser’s highest lawful rate.

(d) Selection of Term SOFR Rate; Rate Quotations.

(i) So long as no Event of Default is continuing, the Seller may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, elect for all or any portion of the Aggregate Capital to accrue yield or interest by reference to the Term SOFR Rate (rather than Daily 1M SOFR) during any Yield Period; provided, however, that no such election shall be made for any Yield Period that does not commence on a Monthly Settlement Date or for less (or more) than a full Yield Period. Any such notice must specify the amount of the Aggregate Capital subject of such election and must be delivered not later than three two (32) Business Days prior to the first day of the affected Yield Period. Any such portion of the Aggregate Capital that is subject to such an election shall be apportioned among the respective Purchasers’ Capital ratably based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser at such time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Seller shall not make such an election if, as a result thereof, more than five (5) Capital Tranches would exist and (y) each Capital Tranche accruing interest by reference to the Term SOFR Rate shall be not be less than $1,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any conflict between the Seller’s election pursuant to this clause (i) and rate of interest applied pursuant to the definition of “Yield Rate,” the definition of “Yield Rate” shall control.

(ii) The Seller may call the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which an Investment Request is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made.

(e) Conforming Changes Relating to Daily 1M SOFR and the Term SOFR Rate. With respect to Daily 1M SOFR and the Term SOFR Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that, the Administrative Agent shall provide notice to the Seller and the Purchasers each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

(f) Yield and Interest After Default. To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent or upon written demand by the Required Purchasers to the Administrative Agent:

(i) Yield Rate. The Yield Rate applicable to any Capital shall be increased by 2.00% per annum;

(ii) Other Obligations. Each other obligation (other than payments in respect of the Subordinated Note or Subordinated Loans (as applicable)) of any SPV Entity-Related Party hereunder if not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus an additional 2.00% per annum from the time such obligation becomes due and payable until the time such obligation is paid in full; and

(iii) Acknowledgment. The Seller acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 2.03(f) reflects, among other things, the fact that such Capital or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Purchasers are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest or yield shall be payable upon demand by Administrative Agent or (if earlier) on the first Settlement Date occurring after such interest or yield accrues.

SECTION 2.04 Rate Unascertainable; Increased Costs; Illegality; Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Unascertainable; Increased Costs. If, at any time:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Term SOFR Rate or Daily 1M SOFR, as applicable, cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or

(ii) the Required Purchasers determine that for any reason Daily 1M SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Purchasers of funding, establishing or maintaining such Purchasers’ Capital during the applicable Yield Period or that Daily 1M SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Purchasers of funding, establishing or maintaining such Purchasers’ Capital, and such Purchasers have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent;

then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 2.04(c).

(b) Illegality. If at any time any Purchaser shall have determined or any Official Body shall have asserted that the making, maintenance or funding of any Capital (or an Investment thereof) accruing interest by reference to Daily 1M SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate or the determination or charging of yield or interest by reference to Daily 1M SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate has been made impracticable or unlawful, by compliance by such Purchaser in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 2.04(c).

(c) Administrative Agent’s and Purchaser’s Rights. In the case of any event specified in Section 2.04(a), the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Purchasers and the Seller thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 2.04(b), such Purchaser shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Purchasers and the Seller.

Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (i) the Purchasers, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative Agent, or (ii) such Purchaser, in the case of such notice given by such Purchaser, to allow the Seller to select, convert to, renew or continue any Capital accruing Yield by reference to Daily 1M SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate, as applicable, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Yield Rate or Yield Period) until the Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Seller, or such Purchaser shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent’s or such Purchaser’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist.

Upon a determination by the Administrative Agent under Section 2.04(a), (A) if the Seller has previously delivered an Investment Request for an affected Investment that has not yet been made, such Investment Request shall be deemed to request an Investment of Base Rate Capital, and (B) any outstanding affected Capital accruing yield or interest by reference to Daily 1M SOFR shall automatically be converted into Base Rate Capital and (C) any outstanding affected Capital accruing yield or interest by reference to the Term SOFR Rate shall be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Capital at the end of the applicable Yield Period.

If any Purchaser notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 2.04(b) above, the Seller shall, subject to the Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 4.02, as to any Capital of the Purchaser to which Daily 1M SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such Capital to Base Rate Capital or prepay such Capital. Absent due notice from the Seller of conversion or prepayment, such Capital shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Capital upon such specified date.

(d) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes

hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Purchasers without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Purchasers comprising the Required Purchasers.

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

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Seller and the Purchasers of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption, or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Seller of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (iv) below and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) pursuant to this Section 2.04(d), 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 its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.04(d).

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate or based on a term rate and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Yield Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor; and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark

(including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Yield Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Seller’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to Daily 1M SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate, the Seller may revoke any pending request for an Investment of Capital accruing Yield based on such rate or conversion to or continuation of Capital accruing Yield based on such rate to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Seller will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for Base Rate Capital or conversion to Base Rate Capital. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(vi) Definitions. As used in this Section 2.04(d):

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, if such Benchmark (a) is Daily 1M SOFR, one month, and (b) is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the Term SOFR Rate applicable to any Capital or the length of a yield or interest period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that is then-removed from the definition of “Yield Period” pursuant to clause (iv) of this Section 2.04(d).

“Benchmark” means, initially, SOFR, Daily 1M SOFR and the Term SOFR Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to this Section.

“Benchmark Replacement” means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) Daily Simple SOFR; and

(2) the sum of (A) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Seller, giving due consideration to (x) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the

Relevant Governmental Body or (y) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

provided, that if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (2) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; and provided further, that any Benchmark Replacement shall be administratively feasible as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Seller, giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent, which date shall be no later than the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (A) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (B) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof), or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date determined by the Administrative Agent, which date shall promptly follow the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein;

For the avoidance of doubt, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Event” means, the occurrence of one or more of the following events, with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or based on a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(2) a public statement or publication of information by a Official Body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or based on a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or based on a term rate, any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or a Official Body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent announcing that such

Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or based on a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.

For the avoidance of doubt, if such Benchmark is a term rate or a rate based on a term rate, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in accordance with this Section 2.04(d) and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in accordance with this Section 2.04(d).

“Floor” means the benchmark rate floor, if any, provided in this Agreement initially (as of the execution of this Agreement, the modification, amendment or renewal of this Agreement or otherwise) with respect to Daily 1M SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate, as applicable, or, if no floor is specified, zero.

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto.

“Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement excluding the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

SECTION 2.05 Records of Investments. Each Purchaser shall record in its records, the date and amount of each Investment made by such the Purchaser hereunder, the interest or yield rate with respect thereto, the Yield accrued thereon and each repayment and payment thereof. Subject to Section 12.0312.06(c), such records shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The failure to so record any such information or any error in so recording any such information shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Seller hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to repay the Capital of each Purchaser, together with all Yield accruing thereon and all other Seller Obligations.

SECTION 2.06 Defaulting Purchasers.

(a) Defaulting Purchaser Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser, then, until such time as such Purchaser is no longer a Defaulting Purchaser, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Purchaser’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as specified in the definition of Required Purchasers.

(ii) Defaulting Purchaser Waterfall. Any payment of capital, principal, interest, yield, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Purchaser (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.02(b) 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 Purchaser to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Seller may request (so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Investment in respect of which such Defaulting Purchaser 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 Seller, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Purchaser’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Investments under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Purchasers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Purchaser against such Defaulting Purchaser as a result of such Defaulting Purchaser’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Seller as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Seller against such Defaulting Purchaser as a result of such Defaulting Purchaser's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Purchaser or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of Capital of any Investments in respect of which such Defaulting Purchaser has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Investments were made at a time when the conditions specified in Section 5.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Investments of all Non-Defaulting Purchasers on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Investments of such Defaulting Purchaser until such time as all Investments are held by the Purchasers pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Purchaser that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.06(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Purchaser, and each Purchaser irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the applicable Fee Letter, no Defaulting Purchaser shall be entitled to receive any Undrawn Fee accrued for any period during which that Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser (and the Seller shall not be required to pay any such Undrawn Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Purchaser).

(b) Defaulting Purchaser Cure. If the Seller and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Purchaser is no longer a Defaulting Purchaser, the Administrative Agent

will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions specified therein, that Purchaser will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Investments of the other Purchasers or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Investments to be held pro rata by the Purchasers in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon such Purchaser will cease to be a Defaulting Purchaser; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Seller while that Purchaser was a Defaulting Purchaser; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Purchaser to Purchaser will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Purchaser.

(c) Termination of Defaulting Purchaser. The Seller may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Defaulting Purchaser upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Purchasers thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.06(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Seller for the account of such Defaulting Purchaser under this Agreement (whether on account of Capital, principal, interest, Yield, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Seller, the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser may have against such Defaulting Purchaser.

SECTION 2.07 Security Interest.

(a) If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties stated in Section 2.01(c), the sale, assignment and transfer of any Sold Assets to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers) hereunder (including pursuant to Section 2.01(b)) is not treated as a sale for all purposes (except as provided in Sections 2.01(d) and 12.11), then such sale, assignment and transfer of such Sold Assets shall be treated as the grant of a security interest by the Seller to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers) to secure the payment and performance of all the Seller’s obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (including all Seller Obligations). Therefore, as security for the performance by the Seller of all the terms, covenants and agreements on the part of the Seller to be performed under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including the punctual payment when due of the Aggregate Capital and all Yield and all other Seller Obligations, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing first priority security interest in, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the Sold Assets, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising.

(b) The Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have, with respect to all the Sold Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the grant of security interest pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit or modify, the sale of Sold Assets pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or the Seller’s grant of security interest pursuant to Section 2.08, (ii) nothing in Section 2.01 shall be construed as limiting the rights, interests (including any security interest), obligations or liabilities of any party under this Section 2.07, and (iii) subject to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), this Section 2.07 shall not be construed to contradict the intentions of the parties set forth in Section 2.01(c).

SECTION 2.08 SPV Entity Guaranty.

(a) Guaranty of Payment. The Seller hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties the prompt payment of the Sold Receivables by the related Obligors and all other payment obligations included in the Sold Assets (collectively, the “Seller Guaranteed Obligations”), in each case, in full when due, whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise (such guaranty, the “Seller Guaranty”). The Canadian Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties the prompt payment of the Seller Obligations (collectively, the “Canadian Guarantor Guaranteed Obligations”; together with the Seller Guaranteed Obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), in each case, in full when due, whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise (such guaranty, the “Canadian Guarantor Guaranty”; together with the Seller Guaranty, the “SPV Entity Guarantees”). Each SPV Entity Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and is a continuing irrevocable guaranty and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. To the extent the obligations of any SPV Entity hereunder in respect to its SPV Entity Guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state, provincial or federal Law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then such obligations of such SPV Entity shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable Law (whether federal, provincial or state or otherwise and including Debtor Relief Laws).

(b) Unconditional Guaranty. The obligations of each SPV Entity under its SPV Entity Guaranty are absolute, irrevocable, and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the related Guaranteed Obligations, any Contract, any Transaction Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. Each SPV Entity agrees that its SPV Entity Guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to any of the other Transaction Documents or any collateral, including the Sold Assets and Pledged Collateral, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, the Seller Obligations or otherwise, and each SPV Entity hereby waives the right to require the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to make demand on or proceed against any Obligor, any Originator, any Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person or to require the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Each SPV Entity further

agrees that no Person or Official Body shall have any right to request any return or reimbursement of funds from the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers in connection with monies received under or in respect of any SPV Entity Guaranty. Each SPV Entity further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers from suing on any of the other Transaction Documents or foreclosing its or their, as applicable, security interest in or lien on the Sold Assets, the Pledged Collateral or any other collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or the Seller Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it or them, as applicable, under any Transaction Document, or any other instrument of security and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of such SPV Entity’s obligations under its SPV Entity Guaranty; it being the purpose and intent of each SPV Entity that its obligations under its SPV Entity Guaranty shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither any SPV Entity Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release, increase or limitation of the liability of any Obligor, any Originator, any Servicer or the Performance Guarantor or by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, dissolution or winding-up of any Obligor, any Originator, any SPV Entity, the Performance Guarantor or any Servicer. Each SPV Entity hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, accrual, or increase of any of its Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser on its SPV Entity Guaranty or acceptance of its SPV Entity Guaranty. All dealings between any Obligor, any Originator, any Servicer or any SPV Entity, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon its SPV Entity Guaranty. Each SPV Entity hereby represents and warrants that it is, and immediately after giving effect to its SPV Entity Guaranty and the obligation evidenced hereby, will be, solvent. Each SPV Entity Guaranty and the obligations of the respective SPV Entity thereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason (other than payment in full of all related Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (A) any failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the Sold Assets, the Pledged Collateral or the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any guaranty of or other security for the payment of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to any Event of Default) of any Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any guaranty or other security for the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (C) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (D) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of Debt other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though the Administrative Agent might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, (E) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any of the Sold Assets or other Pledged Collateral, (F) any

defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which any SPV Entity, any Originator, any Servicer or any Obligor may allege or assert against the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser in respect of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, and (G) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any SPV Entity as an obligor in respect of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations.

(c) Modifications. Each SPV Entity agrees that: (i) all or any part of any security interest, lien, collateral security or supporting obligation now or hereafter held for any Guaranteed Obligation may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (ii) none of the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any security interest or lien now or hereafter held, if any, for the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) the time or place of payment of any Guaranteed Obligation may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (iv) any Obligor, any Originator, any SPV Entity or any Servicer and any other party (including any co-guarantor) liable for payment of any Guaranteed Obligation may be granted indulgences generally; (v) any of the provisions of Contracts or any other agreements or documents governing or giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligation may be modified, amended or waived; and (vi) any deposit balance for the credit of any Obligor, any Originator, any Servicer or any SPV Entity or any other party (including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment of any Guaranteed Obligation or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by any SPV Entity, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.

(d) Waiver of Rights. Each SPV Entity expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law: (i) notice of acceptance of its SPV Entity Guaranty by the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent; (ii) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Agreement) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (iv) notice of the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any security interest or lien, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, or the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such security interests or liens, if any; (v) all other notices, demands, presentments, protests or any agreement or instrument related to the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations to which such SPV Entity might otherwise be entitled; (vi) any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser as a condition of payment or performance by such SPV Entity, to (A) proceed against any Obligor, any Originator, the Performance Guarantor any Servicer or any other Person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any other security held from any Obligor, any Originator, any Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person, (C) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account, securities account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers or any other Person, or (D) pursue any other remedy in the

power of the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers whatsoever; (vii) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Obligor, any Originator, any Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Obligor, any Originator, any Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person from any cause other than payment in full of the Sold Assets and the Guaranteed Obligations; (viii) any defense based upon any applicable Law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (ix) any defense based upon the Administrative Agent’s or any Purchaser’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations; (x) (A) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Agreement and any legal or equitable discharge of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (B) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such SPV Entity’s liability under its SPV Entity Guaranty or the enforcement of its SPV Entity Guaranty, (C) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (D) promptness, diligence and any requirement that the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers protect, secure, perfect or insure any other security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; and (xi) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable Law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Agreement and its SPV Entity Guaranty.

(e) Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the obligations of each SPV Entity under this Section 2.08 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each SPV Entity agrees that it will indemnify Administrative Agent and each Purchaser on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

(f) Remedies. Each SPV Entity agrees that, as between the Seller, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 9.02) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the SPV Entities.

(g) Subrogation. Each SPV Entity hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether contractual or otherwise) to the claims of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties against any Obligor, any Originator, any Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations until such time as all Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Final Payout Date has occurred. Each SPV Entity further agrees that, to the extent such waiver of its rights of subrogation is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser may have against any Obligor, any Originator, any Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(h) Inducement. The Purchasers have been induced to make the Investments and Releases under this Agreement in part based upon the SPV Entities Guarantees, and each SPV Entity desires that its SPV Entity Guaranty be honored and enforced as separate obligations of such SPV Entity, should Administrative Agent and the Purchasers desire to do so.

(i) Security Interest.

(i) To secure the prompt payment and performance of its Guaranteed Obligations, each SPV Entity hereby pledges, mortgages, charges and assigns (by way of security) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties, and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and lien upon, all of the undertaking, property and assets of such SPV Entity, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising and wherever located, including the following (collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”): (A) all Unsold Receivables; (B) all Related Security with respect to such Unsold Receivables; (C) the Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts and amounts on deposit therein; (D) all rights of such SPV Entity under the applicable Transfer Agreement; (E) all other personal and fixture property or assets of such SPV Entity of every kind and nature including all goods (including inventory, equipment and any accessions thereto), instruments (including promissory notes), documents, accounts, chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), deposit accounts, securities accounts, securities entitlements, letter-of-credit rights, commercial tort claims, securities and all other investment property, supporting obligations, money, any other contract rights or rights to the payment of money, insurance claims and proceeds, and all general intangibles (including all payment intangibles) (each as defined in the UCC or the PPSA, as applicable); and (F) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing.

(ii) Each SPV Entity confirms that value has been given by the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties to such SPV Entity, that such SPV Entity has rights in its Pledged Collateral existing at the date of this Agreement, and that such SPV Entity and the Administrative Agent have not agreed to postpone the time for attachment of the security interests granted hereunder to any of the Pledged Collateral of

such SPV Entity. The security interests granted hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral of each SPV Entity created by this Agreement shall have effect and be deemed to be effective whether or not the related Guaranteed Obligations of such SPV Entity under its SPV Entity Guaranty or any part thereof are owing or in existence before or after or upon the date of this Agreement. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the provision of any financial accommodation by any Secured Party shall oblige any Secured Party to make any financial accommodation or further financial accommodation available to either SPV Entity or any other Person.

(iii) The Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have, with respect to all the Pledged Collateral, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC or PPSA or under this Agreement, including Section 9.01.

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, the grant of security interest pursuant to this Section 2.08(i) shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit or modify, the sale of Sold Assets pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or the Seller’s grant of security interest pursuant to Section 2.07.

SECTION 2.09 Authorization to File Financing Statements; Further Assurances. Each SPV Entity hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements describing as the collateral covered thereby as “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement. Promptly upon request, each SPV Entity shall deliver such instruments, assignments or other documents or agreements, and shall take such actions, as the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser deems appropriate to evidence or perfect its ownership or security interest and lien on any of the Supporting Assets, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of Sections 2.01, 2.07 and 2.08.

SECTION 2.10 Data Protection. Each Purchaser shall, where the Seller, the Canadian Guarantor or a Servicer has provided personal data (as defined in the relevant Data Protection Laws) with respect to the Pool Receivables to the Administrative Agent and/or the Purchasers, only use such personal data for the purpose of performing their obligations under, and the transactions contemplated by, the Transaction Documents.

SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES AND PAYMENT PROVISIONS

SECTION 3.01 Settlement Procedures.

(a) So long as the Administrative Agent has not taken dominion and control of the Collection Accounts, the Servicers shall set aside and hold in trust for the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (or, if so requested by the Administrative Agent, segregate in a separate account designated by the Administrative Agent, which shall be an account maintained and/or controlled by the Administrative Agent unless the Administrative Agent otherwise instructs in its sole discretion), for application in accordance with the priority of

payments set forth below, all Collections on Pool Receivables that are actually received by a Servicer or any SPV Entity or received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account; provided, however, (A) if the Administrative Agent has not taken dominion of the Collection Accounts, that so long as each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.03 are satisfied on such date, the applicable Servicer may (x) release to the applicable SPV Entity from Collections received on Pledged Collateral the amount (if any) necessary to pay the purchase price for Receivables purchased by such SPV Entity on such date in accordance with the terms of the First Tier Transfer Agreement, the Canadian Transfer Agreement, the UK Transfer Agreement or the Swiss Transfer Agreement, as applicable and (y) release to the Seller all or a portion of Collections received on Sold Assets in exchange for the Seller designating an equivalent amount (based on aggregate Outstanding Balances) of Unsold Receivables as new Sold Receivables on Seller’s books and records pursuant to Section 2.01(e), which new Sold Receivables will be automatically and immediately sold by the Seller to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers) pursuant to Section 2.01(b) upon such release (each such release of Collections described in clauses (x) and (y) above, a “Release”) and (B) if the Administrative Agent has taken dominion of the Collection Accounts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, any such Release shall be made only in accordance with Section 8.03(c).

(B) on and after the occurrence of the Termination Date, to each Purchaserthe Administrative Agent for further distribution to the Purchasers (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser at such time) for the payment in full of the aggregate outstanding Capital of each such Purchaser at such time; or

(iv) fourth, to the Administrative Agent for further distribution to the Secured Parties (ratably, based on the amount due and owing at such time), for the payment of all other Seller Obligations then due and owing by any SPV Entity to the Secured Parties;

(v) fifth, to each SPV Entity, the amount of any accrued and unpaid interest on the Subordinated Notes or the Subordinated Loans (as applicable), which amount the applicable SPV Entity shall pay to the applicable originator(s);

(vi) sixth, prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date, at the election of the Seller and in accordance with Section 2.02(d), to the payment of all or any portion of the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers at such time (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser at such time);

(ix) ninth, to each SPV Entity, the amount of any principal then due and payable on the Subordinated Notes or the Subordinated Loans (as applicable), which amount such SPV Entity shall pay to the applicable Originator(s); and

(x) tenth, the balance, if any, to be paid to each SPV Entity for its own account.

Amounts payable pursuant to each of clauses first through fourth above shall be paid (at each level of priority) first from available Collections on Sold Receivables and other Sold Assets, second, to the extent necessary in order to make all such payments at such level of priority in full, from Collections on Unsold Receivables relating to U.S. Receivables, UK Receivables and

Swiss Receivables and other Pledged Collateral relating to U.S. Receivables, UK Receivables and Swiss Receivables, and third to the extent necessary in order to make all such payments in full, from Collections on Unsold Receivables that are Canadian Receivables and other Pledged Collateral relating to Canadian Receivables, which Collections on Unsold Receivables that are Canadian Receivables and other Pledged Collateral relating to Canadian Receivables shall be applied in satisfaction of the Canadian Guarantor’s obligations under its SPV Entity Guaranty. The Seller’s right to receive payments (if any) from time to time pursuant to clause fifth above shall, to the extent arising from Collections on Sold Receivables, constitute compensation to the Seller for the Seller’s provision of the Seller Guaranty and the Purchaser Parties’ interests in the Sold Asset and the Pledged Collateral.

(b) All payments or distributions to be made by the Servicers, the Seller and any other Person to any Purchaser Party (or its respective related Secured Parties), shall be paid or distributed to such Purchaser Party.the Administrative Agent for further distribution to each applicable Purchaser at such account as such Purchaser has designated in writing to the Administrative Agent from time to time. Each Purchaser, upon its receipt of any such payments or distributions, shall distribute such amounts to such Purchaser’s applicable related Secured Parties; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall have received insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, the Administrative Agent shall pay each Purchaser, and each Purchaser shall pay such amounts to such Purchaser’s applicable related Secured Parties in accordance with the priority of payments set forth above, and with respect to any such category above for which there are insufficient funds to pay all amounts owing on such date, ratably (based on the amounts in such categories owing to each such related Person) among all such related Persons entitled to payment thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3.01, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to distribute or pay any amount under this Section 3.01 except to the extent actually received by the Administrative Agent. Each payment by the Servicer or the Seller to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Purchaser or other Secured Party hereunder shall be deemed to constitute payment by the Servicer or the Seller directly to such Purchaser or other Secured Party. Each Purchaser shall provide timely and accurate responses to each of the Administrative Agent’s requests for information necessary for the Administrative Agent to make the allocations, payments and distributions to the Purchasers and other Secured Parties hereunder.

(c) If and to the extent the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall be required for any reason to pay over to any Person (including any Obligor or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Relief Proceeding) any amount received on its behalf hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party, as the case may be, shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount.

(d) For the purposes of this Section 3.01:

(i) if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or cancelled as a result of (A) any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, (B) any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, credit

memo, discount or other adjustment made by any SPV Entity-Related Party or any Affiliate thereof or (C) any setoff, counterclaim or dispute between any SPV Entity-Related Party or any Affiliate thereof, and an Obligor, the applicable SPV Entity shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in an amount equal to the positive difference between (A) such Pool Receivable’s Outstanding Balance prior to such reduction and (B) its Outstanding Balance after such reduction, and such SPV Entity shall within two (2) Business Days pay to a Collection Account or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such time, for the benefit of the Purchaser Parties for application pursuant to Section 3.01(a), an amount equal to (x) if such reduction occurs prior to the Termination Date and no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, the lesser of (I) the sum of all deemed Collections with respect to such reduction and (II) an amount necessary to eliminate any Capital Coverage Amount Deficit that exists at such time and (y) if such reduction occurs on or after the Termination Date or at any time when an Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, the sum of all deemed Collections with respect to such reduction (Collections deemed to have been received pursuant to this Section 3.01(d)(i) are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Dilution”);

(ii) if (A) any representation or warranty in Section 6.01 is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable at the time made or (B) any Receivable included in any Pool Report as an Eligible Receivable or in any calculation of the Net Receivables Pool Balance as an Eligible Receivable fails to be an Eligible Receivable at the time of such inclusion, then, in either case, the SPV Entity, as applicable, shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable’s Outstanding Balance in full, and such SPV Entity shall within two (2) Business Days pay to a Collection Account or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such time, for the benefit of the Purchaser Parties for application pursuant to Section 3.01(a), an amount equal to (x) if such breach occurs prior to the Termination Date and no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, the lesser of (I) the sum of all deemed Collections with respect to such breach and (II) an amount necessary to eliminate any Capital Coverage Amount Deficit that exists at such time and (y) if such breach occurs on or after the Termination Date or at any time when an Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, the sum of all deemed Collections with respect to such breach (Collections deemed to have been received pursuant to Sections 3.01(d)(i) and 3.01(d)(ii), including any Dilution, are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Deemed Collections”);

(iii) except as provided in clauses (i) or (ii) above or otherwise required by applicable Law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates in writing its payment for application to specific Receivables; and

(iv) if and to the extent the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Relief Proceeding) any amount received by it

hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by such Person but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, such Person shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.

SECTION 3.02 Payments and Computations, Etc.. (a) All amounts to be paid by any SPV Entity or a Servicer to any Secured Party hereunder shall be paid no later than 12:00 p.m.12:00 noon Eastern Time on the day when due in same day funds to the applicable party to which such amounts are dueAdministrative Agent for the account of such Secured Party at the account specified by the Administrative Agent for such purpose.

(b) Each of the SPV Entities and the Servicers shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by it when due hereunder, at an interest rate per annum equal to 2.00% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand.

(c) Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

(d) All Capital, Yield, Fees and other amounts from time to time payable to the Purchaser Parties hereunder shall be paid to the applicable Purchaser Parties from time to time in Dollars.

(e) In making the distributions and payments out of Collections hereunder and in setting aside and reserving Collections for future distributions and payments hereunder (including, without limitation, the distribution of Collections pursuant to Section 3.01(a)), the Servicers shall, to the extent Collections are available therefor and subject to any applicable priorities of payment set forth herein (including under Section 3.01(a)), (i) first, apply available Collections in a particular Eligible Currency to amounts distributable or payable in such Eligible Currency, and (ii) second, to the extent that available Collections in a particular Eligible Currency are not sufficient to distribute, pay, set aside or reserve for amounts distributable or payable in such Eligible Currency, apply any excess Collections received in another Eligible Currency to such amounts after converting such Collections to the applicable Eligible Currency pursuant to clause (f) below.

(f) If on any Settlement Date or any other day a payment is due and payable hereunder it is necessary for funds in one currency to be converted into any other currency in order to make any payment or distribution required to be made hereunder, the applicable SPV Entity (or the Servicers on its behalf) shall solicit offer quotations from at least two (2) foreign exchange dealers reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent for effecting such exchange and shall select the quotation which provides for the best exchange rate. The applicable SPV Entity (or the Servicers on its behalf) shall effect such exchange on such Settlement Date or other day, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has obtained exclusive control of any Collection Accounts or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to convert Collections denominated in any currency in order to make such payments of distributions due in another currency in

accordance with the Administrative Agent’s customary practices for currency conversions. Any loss, cost or expense incurred in connection with any such conversion shall be for the account of the applicable SPV Entity.

(g) Interest Act (Canada). For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any yield, interest or fee to be paid under any Transaction Document is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.

(h) Criminal Interest. If any provision of this Agreement would oblige the Canadian Guarantor to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Purchaser in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by applicable Law or would result in a receipt by that Purchaser of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable Law or so result in a receipt by that Purchaser of “interest” at a “criminal rate”.

SECTION 3.03 Sharing of Payments by Purchasers. If any Purchaser shall, by exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien or any other right, by receipt of voluntary payment, by realization upon security, or by any other non-pro rata source, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Investments or Capital or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Purchaser’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Capital and accrued Yield thereon or other such obligations greater than the pro-rata share of the amount such Purchaser is entitled thereto, then the Purchaser receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Investments (and related Capital) and such other obligations of the other Purchasers, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Purchasers ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Capital of and accrued Yield on their respective Investments and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(a) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by Law (including court order) to be paid by the Purchaser or the holder making such purchase; and

(b) the provisions of this Section 3.03 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the SPV Entity-Related Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Transaction Documents (including the application of funds arising from the

existence of a Defaulting Purchaser) or (y) any payment obtained by a Purchaser as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Capital.

Each SPV Entity-Related Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Purchaser acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each SPV Entity-Related Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Purchaser were a direct creditor of each SPV Entity-Related Party in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 3.04 Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) Funding by Purchasers; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Purchaser prior to the proposed date of any Investment, that such Purchaser will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Purchaser’s share of such Investment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Purchaser has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Seller a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Purchaser has not in fact made its share of the applicable Investment available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Purchaser and the Seller severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Seller to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Purchaser, the greater of the Effective Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Seller, the Yield Rate applicable to Base Rate Capitals. If the Seller and such Purchaser shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Seller the amount of such interest paid by the Seller for such period. If such Purchaser pays its share of the applicable Investment to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Purchaser’s share included in such Investment. Any payment by the Seller shall be without prejudice to any claim the Seller may have against a Purchaser that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Payments by an SPV Entity; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from an SPV Entity prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Purchasers or any other Secured Parties hereunder that such SPV Entity will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such SPV Entity has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Purchasers the amount due. In such event, if such SPV Entity has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Purchasers severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Purchaser, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Effective Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

ARTICLE IV

INCREASED COSTS; FUNDING LOSSES; TAXES; ILLEGALITY AND
SECURITY INTEREST

SECTION 4.01 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Purchaser;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any 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) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Recipient in respect thereof; or

(iii) impose on any Purchaser or the relevant market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Investments made by such Purchaser or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Purchaser or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Investment or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Investment, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Purchaser or other Recipient hereunder (whether of Capital, principal, interest, Yield or any other amount) then, upon request of such Purchaser or other Recipient, the Seller will pay to such Purchaser or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Purchaser or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that upon the occurrence of any Change in Law imposing a reserve percentage on any interest rate based on SOFR, the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may modify the calculation of each such SOFR-based yield or interest rate to add (or otherwise account for) such reserve percentage. The obligations of the Seller under this Section 4.01(a)(iii) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of any Investment.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Purchaser determines that any Change in Law affecting such Purchaser or any Lending Office of such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Purchaser’s capital or on the capital of such Purchaser’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Purchaser or the Investments made by such Purchaser, to a level below that which such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Purchaser’s policies and the policies of such Purchaser’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Seller will pay to

such Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Purchaser setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Purchaser or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Seller shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Seller shall pay such Purchaser the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the first Settlement Date occurring ten (10) or more days after receipt thereof; provided, that any such certificate shall state the basis upon which such amount has been calculated.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Purchaser to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Purchaser’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Seller shall not be required to compensate a Purchaser pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Purchaser notifies the Seller of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Purchaser’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 4.02 Indemnity for Funding Losses. In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 4.01 or Section 4.03, the Seller shall indemnify each Purchaser against all liabilities, losses or expenses (including loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain any Capital, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract) which such Purchaser sustains or incurs as a consequence of any:

(a) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Capital to which the Term SOFR Rate applies on a day other than a Monthly Settlement Datethe last day of the Yield Period for the applicable Capital Tranche (whether or not any such payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary, or automatic and whether or not any such payment or prepayment is then due);

(b) attempt by the Seller to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Investment Request or notice relating to prepayments under Section 2.02(d) or failure by the Seller (for a reason other than the failure of such Purchaser to fund an Investment) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Capital on the date or in the amount notified by the Seller; or

(c) any assignment of Capital then accruing Yield based on the Term SOFR Rate on a day other than the last day of the Yield Period therefor as a result of a request by the Seller pursuant to Section 4.04.

If any Purchaser sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Seller of the amount determined in good faith by such Purchaser (which determination

may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Purchaser shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Purchaser for such loss or expense (with a copy to the Administrative Agent). Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Seller to such Purchaser on the first Settlement Date occurring after such notice is given or,; provided, however, that if such amount is payable due to clause (a) or (c) above, then the Seller shall pay such amount on the date of such payment, prepayment, conversion, renewal or assignment so long as such notice has been given on or prior to such date.

SECTION 4.03 Taxes.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Seller under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a 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 Official Body in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.03) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the SPV Entities. Each SPV Entity shall timely pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law, or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse the Administrative Agent for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by the Seller. The Seller shall indemnify each Recipient, on the next Settlement Date occurring ten (10) or more days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any (i) Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.03) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body and (ii) incremental Taxes that arise because an Investment or any Capital is not treated consistently with the Intended Tax Treatment (such indemnification will include any U.S. federal, state or local income and franchise Taxes necessary to make such Recipient whole on an after-tax basis such that the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had the Investment or Capital been treated consistently with the Intended Tax Treatment taking into account the taxability of receipt of payments under this clause (ii) and any reasonable expenses arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the foregoing). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Seller by a Purchaser (with a copy to the Administrative

Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Purchaser, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Purchasers. Each Purchaser shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Purchaser (but only to the extent that the SPV Entity-Related Parties have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting any obligation of any SPV Entity-Related Party to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Purchaser’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.06(a) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Purchaser, 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 Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Purchaser by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Purchaser from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 4.03(e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Seller to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 4.03, the Seller shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Status of Purchasers.

(i) Any Purchaser 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 Seller and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Purchaser, if reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Seller or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Purchaser 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 Sections 4.03(g)(ii)(1), 4.03(g)(ii)(2) and 4.03(h)) shall not be required if, in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Purchaser.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Seller is a U.S. Person:

(1) any Purchaser that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Seller or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Purchaser is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(2) any Foreign Purchaser shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Seller or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) in the case of a Foreign Purchaser 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-E (or W-8BEN if applicable) 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-E (or W-8BEN if applicable) 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;

(II) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(III) in the case of a Foreign Purchaser 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 H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Purchaser is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Seller within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” 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-E (or W-8BEN if applicable); or

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Purchaser is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or

W-8BEN if applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Purchaser is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Purchaser are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Purchaser may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(3) any Foreign Purchaser shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Seller 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 Seller or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(4) if a payment made to a Purchaser under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser 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 Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller 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 Seller or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Seller and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Purchaser has complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Purchaser agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 4.03 with respect to the 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 Official Body 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 4.03(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.03(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 4.03(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) VAT. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all sums payable under this Agreement are stated exclusive of VAT unless they are payable by the Seller, in which case they are stated inclusive of VAT. If (i) VAT is payable on any supply made under this Agreement and (ii) according to this Agreement the consideration for such supply is stated exclusive of VAT, the recipient will pay to the supplier an amount equal to the VAT payable on the supply at the same time as it makes the relevant payment to the supplier, unless the recipient is itself obliged to account for VAT directly to the relevant tax authority under any reverse charge mechanism. In each case where payment under this Agreement is made in consideration for a supply for VAT purposes, the supplier must promptly provide the recipient with a VAT invoice in respect of the relevant supply (unless the relevant VAT legislation does not require any such invoice to be issued).

(j) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.03 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Seller Obligations.

SECTION 4.04 Replacement of a Purchaser. If any Purchaser requests compensation under Section 4.01, or if the Seller is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Purchaser or any Official Body for the account of any Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.03 and, in each case, such Purchaser has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 4.05, or if any Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser or a Non-Consenting Purchaser, then the Seller may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Purchaser and the Administrative Agent, require such Purchaser to assign and delegate,

without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 4.03) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Transaction Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Purchaser, if a Purchaser accepts such assignment); provided that:

(a) the Seller shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 12.06;

(b) such Purchaser shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding Capital of its Investments, accrued Yield thereon, accrued Fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.02) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding Capital, principal and accrued interest, Yield and fees) or the Seller (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law; and

(e) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Purchaser becoming a Non-Consenting Purchaser, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

Therefore, each SPV Entity and each Servicer shall take all steps specifically required by this Agreement or reasonably required by any Purchaser Party to continue such SPV Entity’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that such SPV Entity is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of each other SPV Entity-Related Party and any other Person, and is not a division of any other SPV Entity-Related Party or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, each SPV Entity and each Servicer shall take such actions as shall be required in order in order that:

The Seller will be a special purpose company whose primary activities are restricted in its limited liability company agreement to: (i) purchasing or otherwise acquiring, owning, holding, collecting, granting security interests or selling interests in the Supporting Assets, (ii) entering into agreements for the selling, servicing and financing of the Receivables Pool (including the Transaction Documents) and (iii) conducting such other activities as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its primary activities. The Canadian Guarantor shall comply with applicable provisions set forth in Section 26.5 of its articles.

(b) No Other Business or Indebtedness. No SPV Entity shall (i) engage in any business or activity except as set forth in this Agreement or (ii) incur any indebtedness or liability other than as expressly permitted by the Transaction Documents.

(c) Independent Manager. Each SPV Entity (other than the Canadian Guarantor) shall at all times have at least one independent manager (the “Independent Manager”) who shall be (i) with respect to the Seller, a natural person who has prior experience as an independent director, independent manager or independent member with at least three years of employment experience and who is provided by Citadel SPV (USA) LLC, Corporation Service

The Seller and the Canadian Guarantor shall (A) give written notice to the Administrative Agent of the election or appointment, or proposed election or appointment, of a new Independent Manager of the Seller or Independent Director of the Canadian Guarantor, as applicable, which notice shall be given not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date such appointment or election would be effective (except when such election or appointment is necessary to fill a vacancy caused by the death, disability, or incapacity of the existing Independent Manager or Independent Director, or the failure of such Independent Manager or Independent Director to satisfy the criteria for an Independent Manager or Independent Director set forth in this clause (c), in which case the Seller or the Canadian Guarantor, as applicable, shall provide written notice of such election or appointment within one (1) Business Day) and (B) with any such written notice, certify to the Administrative Agent that the Independent Manager or Independent Director satisfies the criteria for an Independent Manager or Independent Director set forth in this clause (c).

The Seller’s limited liability company agreement shall provide that: (A) the Seller’s member shall not approve, or take any other action to cause the filing of, a voluntary bankruptcy

The Canadian Guarantor’s articles shall include provisions to the effect that: (A) the Canadian Guarantor’s board of directors shall not approve, or take any other action to cause the filing of, a voluntary bankruptcy petition with respect to the Canadian Guarantor unless the Independent Director shall approve the taking of such action in writing before the taking of such action and (B) such provision and each other provision requiring an Independent Director cannot be amended without the prior written consent of the Independent Director.

The Seller’s or the Canadian Guarantor’s Independent Manager or Independent Director, as applicable, shall not at any time serve as a trustee in bankruptcy for any SPV Entity-Related Party or any of their respective Affiliates.

(d) Organizational Documents. Each SPV Entity shall maintain its organizational documents in conformity with this Agreement, such that it does not amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify its ability to comply with the terms and provisions of any of the Transaction Documents, including Section 7.01(p).

(e) Conduct of Business. Each SPV Entity shall conduct its affairs strictly in accordance with its organizational documents and observe all necessary, appropriate and customary company formalities, including holding all regular and special members’ and board of directors’ meetings appropriate to authorize all company action, keeping separate and accurate minutes of its meetings, passing all resolutions or consents necessary to authorize actions taken or to be taken, and maintaining accurate and separate books, records and accounts, including payroll and intercompany transaction accounts.

(f) Compensation. Any employee, consultant or agent of any SPV Entity will be compensated from such SPV Entity’s funds for services provided to such SPV Entity, and to the extent that an SPV Entity shares the same officers or other employees as the Servicers (or any other Affiliate thereof), the salaries and expenses relating to providing benefits to such officers and other employees shall be fairly allocated among such entities, and each such entity shall bear its fair share of the salary and benefit costs associated with such common officers and employees. No SPV Entity will engage any agents other than its attorneys, auditors and other professionals, and a servicer and any other agent contemplated by the Transaction Documents for the Receivables Pool, which servicer will be fully compensated for its services by payment of the Servicing Fee.

(g) Servicing and Costs. Each SPV Entity will contract with the Servicers to perform for such SPV Entity all operations required on a daily basis to service the Receivables Pool. No SPV Entity will incur any indirect or overhead expenses for items shared with the Servicers (or any other Affiliate thereof) that are not reflected in the Servicing Fee. To the extent, if any, that any SPV Entity (or any Affiliate thereof) shares items of expenses not reflected in the Servicing Fee, such as legal, auditing and other professional services, such

122

expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered.

(h) Operating Expenses. No SPV Entity’s operating expenses will be paid by any SPV Entity-Related Party or any Affiliate thereof.

(i) Books and Records. Each SPV Entity’s books and records will be maintained separately from those of any other SPV Entity-Related Party and any of their Affiliates and in a manner such that it will not be difficult or costly to segregate, ascertain or otherwise identify the assets and liabilities of such SPV Entity.

(j) Disclosure of Transactions. All financial statements of any SPV Entity-Related Party or any Affiliate thereof that are consolidated to include any SPV Entity will disclose that (i) such SPV Entity is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of such SPV Entity’s assets prior to any assets or value in such SPV Entity becoming available to such SPV Entity’s equity holders and (ii) the assets of such SPV Entity are not available to pay creditors of any other SPV Entity-Related Party or any Affiliate thereof.

(k) Segregation of Assets. Each SPV Entity’s assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of any other SPV Entity-Related Party or any Affiliates thereof.

(l) Corporate Formalities. Each SPV Entity will strictly observe limited liability company or business corporation, as applicable, formalities in its dealings with any other SPV Entity-Related Party or any Affiliates thereof, and funds or other assets of such SPV Entity will not be commingled with those of any other SPV Entity-Related Party or any Affiliates thereof except as permitted by the Transaction Documents in connection with servicing the Pool Receivables. No SPV Entity shall maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which any other SPV Entity-Related Party or any Affiliate thereof (other than the Servicers solely in their capacity as such) has independent access.

(m) Arm’s-Length Relationships. Each SPV Entity will maintain arm’s-length relationships with any other SPV Entity-Related Party and any Affiliates thereof. Any Person that renders or otherwise furnishes services to any SPV Entity will be compensated by such SPV Entity at market rates for such services it renders or otherwise furnishes to such SPV Entity. Neither SPV Entity on the one hand, nor any other SPV Entity-Related Party or any Affiliate thereof, on the other hand, will be or will hold itself out to be responsible for the debts of the other or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of the other. The SPV Entity-Related Parties and their respective Affiliates will immediately correct any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing, and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated single economic unit with respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity.

ARTICLE VIII

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION
OF RECEIVABLES

SECTION 8.01 Appointment of the Servicers.

(a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section 8.01. Until the Administrative Agent gives notice to the SPV Entities and the

124

Servicers (in accordance with this Section 8.01) of the designation of a new Servicer, each SPV Entity-Related Party named in the preamble to this Agreement as a U.S. Servicer, UK Servicer, Canadian Servicer or Swiss Servicer (as the case may be) is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, a Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Required Purchasers) and shall (at the direction of the Required Purchasers) designate as U.S. Servicer, UK Servicer, Canadian Servicer or Swiss Servicer (as the case may be) any Person (including itself) to succeed the applicable SPV Entity-Related Party or any successor Servicer, on such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may agree in its discretion. The applicable Servicer shall be entitled to payment of all Servicing Fees and reimbursable expenses accrued prior to the date on which such Servicer is replaced (including following termination) pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a) above, the applicable Servicer being replaced agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and the applicable Servicer shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of records (including all Contracts) related to Pool Receivables and use by the new Servicer of all licenses (or the obtaining of new licenses), hardware or software necessary or reasonably desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.

(c) Each SPV Entity-Related Party named in the preamble to this Agreement as a U.S. Servicer, UK Servicer, Canadian Servicer or Swiss Servicer (as the case may be) acknowledges that, in making its decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser have relied on such SPV Entity-Related Party’s agreement to act as a Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, such SPV Entity-Related Party agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Purchasers, except upon a determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable Law and (ii) there is no reasonable action which the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable Law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced as to clause (i) above by an opinion of a nationally recognized external counsel to the Servicer and as to clause (ii) above by an officer’s certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Servicer, each to such effect delivered, and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance, to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Each Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation: (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the delegated duties and obligations of such Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) such Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) each SPV Entity, the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser shall have the right to look solely to such Servicer for performance, (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrative Agent may terminate such agreement upon the termination of such Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to

125

terminate such agreement to such Servicer (and such Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer), (v) if such Sub-Servicer is not an Affiliate of Parent, the Administrative Agent and the Required Purchasers shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation (unless such Sub-Servicer is only servicing Receivables that have been, consistent with past practices, been written off as uncollectible, in which case such consent is not required) and (vi) any Sub-Servicer appointed by the Canadian Servicer shall either be a resident of Canada for purposes of the ITA or shall carry on all of its servicing activities in respect of the Canadian Receivables from outside Canada.

SECTION 8.02 Duties of the Servicers.

(a) The Servicers shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or reasonably advisable to service, administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable Laws, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and consistent with the past practices of the Servicers. The Servicers shall set aside, for the accounts of each Purchaser Party, the amount of Collections it or its Affiliates actually receive to which each such Purchaser Party is entitled in accordance with Article III hereof. The Servicers may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and consistent with past practices of the Originators, take such action, including modifications, waivers or restructurings of Pool Receivables and related Contracts, as the Servicers may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or reflect adjustments expressly permitted under the Credit and Collection Policy or as expressly required under applicable Laws or the applicable Contract; provided, that for purposes of this Agreement: (i) such action shall not, and shall not be deemed to, change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable, (ii) such action shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of any Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (iii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Servicers may take such action only upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Each SPV Entity shall deliver to the applicable Servicer and the applicable Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Administrative Agent (individually and for the benefit of each Purchaser Party), in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may direct the Servicers to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable that is a Defaulted Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security with respect to any such Defaulted Receivable.

(b) The Servicers shall, as soon as practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to the Seller the collections of any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, less, if such Servicer is not a SPV Entity-Related Party or an Affiliate thereof, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections. Each Servicer, if other than a SPV Entity-Related Party or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Seller or the Canadian Guarantor, as applicable, all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any

126

indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable.

(c) Each Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the Final Payout Date. Promptly following the Final Payout Date, each Servicer shall deliver to each SPV Entity, as applicable, all books, records and related materials that each SPV Entity previously provided to the Servicers, or that have been obtained by the Servicers, in connection with this Agreement.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, each Servicer shall only service and comply with all Servicer’s duties under this Section 8.02 with respect to (i) the UK Servicer, Receivables originated by UK Originators, (ii) the U.S. Servicer, Receivables originated by U.S. Originators, (iii) the Swiss Servicer, Receivables originated by Swiss Originators and (iv) the Canadian Servicer, Receivables originated by Canadian Originators.

SECTION 8.03 Collection Account Arrangements.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, each SPV Entity shall have entered into Account Control Agreements with a Collection Account Bank, as applicable and delivered executed counterparts of each to the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Potential Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Required Purchasers) and shall (upon the direction of the Required Purchasers) at any time thereafter give notice to each Collection Account Bank that the Administrative Agent is exercising its rights under the Account Control Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive dominion and control of the Collection Accounts transferred to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Collection Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Collection Account and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Account Control Agreement; provided, that unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (x) the Administrative Agent shall give such SPV Entity five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take exclusive control of the Collection Accounts before such SPV Entity’s access to any Collection Account shall be terminated and be available to discuss with the Servicers or their designee(s) during such five (5) Business Day period and prior to taking exclusive control and (y) any funds received in the Collection Account shall be swept daily (or as soon as otherwise practicable) to Cash Dominion Administration Account (or, if not yet established, such other deposit account designated by the Administrative Agent). Each SPV Entity hereby agrees that if the Administrative Agent at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and each SPV Entity hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by any SPV Entity or the Servicers thereafter shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrative Agent. Prior to giving notice exercising its rights under the Account Control Agreements, the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to arrange a call with the such SPV Entity and communicate its intent.

127

(b) Cash Dominion Administration Account. If the Administrative Agent shall deliver notice of its intent to take exclusive control of the Collection Accounts pursuant to clause (a) above, each SPV Entity, the Servicers and the Administrative Agent shall cause the Cash Dominion Administration Account to be established at PNC and subject to an Account Control Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) over each Cash Dominion Administration Account and the funds deposited therein, and none of the SPV Entities, the Servicers or their Affiliates shall have any rights to access or direct the disposition of any funds therein. Funds on deposit in the Cash Dominion Administration Account may be applied by the Administrative Agent for the repayment of the Seller Obligations in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 3.01(a). Amounts, if any, on deposit in the Cash Dominion Administration Account on the Final Payout Date shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Seller.

(c) Release of Collections. On any Business Day after the Administrative Agent has taken exclusive dominion and control of the Collection Accounts, so long as each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.03 are satisfied (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall release to the SPV Entities from Collections on deposit in the Cash Dominion Administration Account an amount equal to the Maximum Release Amount on such day. The proceeds of each Release shall be applied by the SPV Entities to pay (x) the purchase price for Receivables purchased by the Seller or the Canadian Guarantor on such date in accordance with the terms of the Transfer Agreement, (y) any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees owing to Rackspace or (z) the deferred purchase price for any previously purchased Receivables. Each SPV Entity shall notify the Administrative Agent if any of the conditions for a Release set forth in Section 5.03 are not satisfied on such day. If the Administrative Agent has not taken exclusive dominion and control of the Collection Accounts, any Releases shall be made in accordance with Section 3.01(a).

SECTION 8.04 Enforcement Rights.

(a) At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(i) the Administrative Agent (at the SPV Entities’ expense) may direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable is to be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee;

(ii) the Administrative Agent may instruct any SPV Entity or the Servicers to give notice of the Secured Parties’ interest in Pool Receivables to each Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and such SPV Entity or such Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of such SPV Entity or Servicer, as the case may be; provided, that if such SPV Entity or such Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor within two (2) Business Days following instruction by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent (at such SPV Entity’s or Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors;

128

(iii) the Administrative Agent may request a Servicer to, and upon such request such Servicer shall: (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrative Agent or its designee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) at a place selected by the Administrative Agent and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrative Agent or its designee;

(iv) the Administrative Agent may notify the Collection Account Banks that the applicable SPV Entity and such Servicer will no longer have any access to the Collection Accounts;

(v) the Administrative Agent may (or, at the direction of the Required Purchasers shall) replace the Person then acting as Servicer; and

(vi) the Administrative Agent may collect any amounts due from an Originator or the Aggregator under a Transfer Agreement or the Performance Guarantor under the Performance Guaranty.

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default are in addition to and not exclusive of the rights and remedies contained herein and under the other Transaction Documents.

(b) Each SPV Entity hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of such SPV Entity, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of such SPV Entity and on behalf of such SPV Entity necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Supporting Assets, including endorsing the name of such SPV Entity on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Supporting Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.

(c) Each Servicer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of such Servicer, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of such

129

Servicer and on behalf of such Servicer necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Supporting Assets, including endorsing the name of such Servicer on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Supporting Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.

SECTION 8.05 Responsibilities of the SPV Entities.

(a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each SPV Entity shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent, or any other Purchaser Party of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve such SPV Entity from such obligations and (ii) pay when due any Taxes, including any sales Taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. None of the Purchaser Parties shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Supporting Assets, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of any SPV Entity, the Servicers, the Aggregator or any Originator thereunder.

(b) Each SPV Entity-Related Party that is a party to this Agreement as a Servicer hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, such SPV Entity-Related Party shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that it conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer. In connection with any such processing functions, the applicable SPV Entity shall pay to the applicable SPV Entity-Related Party its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses from such SPV Entity’s own funds (subject to the priority of payments set forth in Section 3.01(a)).

SECTION 8.06 Servicing Fee.

(a) Subject to clause (b) below, the Seller shall pay (i) the U.S. Servicer a fee (the “U.S. Servicing Fee”) equal to the product of the Servicing Fee Rate multiplied by the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables originated by the U.S. Originators, (ii) the UK Servicer a fee (the “UK Servicing Fee”) equal to the product of the Servicing Fee Rate multiplied by the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables originated by the UK Originators, (iii) the Swiss Servicer a fee (the “Swiss Servicing Fee”) equal to the product of the Servicing Fee Rate multiplied by the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables originated by the Swiss Originators, and (iv) the Canadian Servicer a fee (the “Canadian Servicing Fee”) equal to the product of the Servicing Fee Rate multiplied by the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables originated by the Canadian Originators. Accrued Servicing Fees shall be payable from Collections to the extent of available funds in accordance with Section 3.01(a).

130

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing and for greater certainty, no Canadian Servicing Fee or other consideration with respect to the servicing of Pool Receivables shall be payable to the Canadian Servicer as long as the Canadian Servicer is Rackspace Canada or an Affiliate thereof.

(c) If the Servicer ceases to be a SPV Entity-Related Party or an Affiliate thereof, the Servicing Fee shall be the greater of: (i) the amount calculated pursuant to clause (a) above and (ii) an alternative amount agreed between the Administrative Agent and the successor Servicer in connection with the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder.

SECTION 9.02 Consequences of an Event of Default.

(a) Generally. If any Event of Default occurs, the Administrative Agent may (or, at the direction of the Required Purchasers shall) by notice to the Seller:

(i) declare the Termination Date to have occurred (in which case the Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred)

134

(ii) declare the Final Maturity Date to have occurred (in which case the Final Maturity Date shall be deemed to have occurred); or

(iii) declare the Aggregate Capital and all other Seller Obligations and Guaranteed Obligations to be immediately due and payable (in which case the Aggregate Capital and all other Seller Obligations and Guaranteed Obligations shall be immediately due and payable);

provided that, automatically and immediately (without any requirement for the giving of notice) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 9.01(h) with respect to the Seller, the Termination Date shall occur and the Aggregate Capital and all other Seller Obligations and Guaranteed Obligations shall be immediately due and payable.

Upon any such declaration or designation or upon such automatic termination, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, all other rights and remedies provided after default under the UCC, PPSA and under other applicable Law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction an order for the appointment of an interim receiver, a receiver, a manager or a receiver and manager of the Canadian Guarantor or of any or all of its Pledged Collateral and, by instrument in writing appoint one or more interim receiver, a receiver, a manager or a receiver and manager of the Canadian Guarantor or any or all of its Pledged Collateral with such rights, powers and authority as may be provided for in the instrument of appointment or any supplemental instrument, and remove and replace any such interim receiver, receiver, manager or receiver and manager from time to time. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, any such interim receiver, receiver, manager or receiver and manager appointed by the Administrative Agent shall (for purposes relating to responsibility for acts or omissions) be considered to be the agent of the Canadian Guarantor and not of the Administrative Agent or any of the other Secured Parties. Any proceeds from liquidation of the Sold Assets and Pledged Collateral shall be applied in the order of priority set forth in Section 3.01.

(b) Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Purchaser and each of their respective Affiliates and any participant of such Purchaser or Affiliate which has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of Section 3.03, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, 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 such Purchaser or any such Affiliate or participant to or for the credit or the account of the Seller against any and all of the Seller Obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to such Purchaser, Affiliate or participant, irrespective of whether or not such Purchaser, Affiliate or participant shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and although such Seller Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Purchaser different from the

135

branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness, provided that in the event that any Defaulting Purchaser shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.06 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Purchaser from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, and (y) the Defaulting Purchaser shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Seller Obligations owing to such Defaulting Purchaser as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Purchaser and their respective Affiliates and participants under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Purchaser or its respective Affiliates and participants may have. Each Purchaser agrees to notify the Seller 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.

(c) Enforcement of Rights and Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents against the SPV Entity-Related Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at Law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of all the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, (ii) any Purchaser from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.02(b) (subject to the terms of Section 3.03), or (iii) any Purchaser from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any SPV Entity-Related Party under any Relief Proceeding; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, then (A) the Required Purchasers shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.02(c), and (B) in addition to the matters specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 3.03), any Purchaser may, with the consent of the Required Purchasers, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Purchasers.

(d) Application of Proceeds. From and after the date on which the Administrative Agent has taken any action pursuant to Section 9.02 (or after the Seller Obligations have automatically become immediately due and payable as specified in the proviso to Section 9.02(a)) and until the Final Payout Date, any and all proceeds received on account of the Seller Obligations shall (subject to Sections 2.06) be applied in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 3.01(a).

ARTICLE X

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 10.01 Appointment and Authority. Each Purchaser Party hereby irrevocably appoints PNC Bank, National Association to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser Parties, and the SPV Entity-Related Parties shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Transaction Documents (or any other similar term) 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 as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

SECTION 10.02 Rights as a Purchaser. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Purchaser as any other Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Purchaser” or “Purchasers” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any SPV Entity-Related Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Purchasers.

SECTION 10.03 Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly specified herein and in the other Transaction Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Transaction Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Transaction Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Transaction Document or

137

applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Purchaser in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(iii) shall not, except as expressly specified herein and in the other Transaction Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any SPV Entity-Related Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 12.01, 8.04 and 9.02), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Potential Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Potential Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by any SPV Entity-Related Party or a Purchaser.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions specified herein or therein or the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition precedent to an Investment, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Investment, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Purchaser Party, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Purchaser Party unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Purchaser Party prior to the making of such Investment. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the SPV Entities), independent accountants and other experts

138

selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 10.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Transaction Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the financing or purchase facility contemplated hereby as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

SECTION 10.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Purchaser Parties and the SPV Entities. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Purchasers shall have the right, in consultation with the Seller (so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Purchasers and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Purchasers) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Purchaser Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications specified above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Purchaser. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Purchaser pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Purchasers may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to the SPV Entities and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Seller, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Purchasers and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Purchasers) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Transaction Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is

139

appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Purchaser Party directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Purchasers appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents. The fees payable by the SPV Entities to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the SPV Entities and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Article X and Article XI shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Purchasers.

Each Purchaser represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Purchaser, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans or providing such other facilities.

SECTION 10.08 No Other Duties, Etc.. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners or arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Purchaser hereunder.

140

SECTION 10.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any SPV Entity-Related Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether any Capital or other Seller Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Seller) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Purchaser Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Purchaser Party, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

(a) Each of the Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any Lien on any Supporting Assets or other property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Transaction Document (x) upon the Final Payout Date, (y) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Transaction Documents, or (z) subject to Section 12.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Purchasers.

SECTION 10.13 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Purchaser Party or other Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Purchaser Party or other Secured Party (any Purchaser Party, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Purchaser Party, other Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of Capital, principal, interest, Yield, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Purchaser Party or other Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on

143

interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Purchaser Party or other Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Purchaser Party or other Secured Party, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of Capital, principal, interest, Yield, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Purchaser Party or other Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Purchaser Party or other Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.12(b).

(c) Each Purchaser Party or other Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser Party or other Secured Party under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Purchaser Party or other Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Purchaser that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Purchaser at any time, (i) such Purchaser shall be deemed to have assigned its Investments (but not its Commitments) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Investments (but not Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment

144

Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Seller) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Purchaser shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Purchaser shall become a Purchaser hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Purchaser shall cease to be a Purchaser hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Purchaser and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Investments subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Investments acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Purchaser shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Investment (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Purchaser (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Purchaser and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold an Investment (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Purchaser or other Secured Party under the Transaction Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Seller Obligations or any other obligations owed by any SPV Entity-Related Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from any SPV Entity-Related Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Seller Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

145

SECTION 10.14 UK Security Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Secured Party irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent to act as its trustee under and in connection with the UK Security Agreement on the terms and conditions set out in the UK Security Agreement to hold the assets subject to the security thereby created as trustee for the Secured Parties on the trusts and other terms contained in the UK Security Agreement. Each of the Secured Parties authorizes the Administrative Agent to exercise the rights, remedies, power and discretions, specifically given to the Administrative Agent under or in respect of the UK Security Agreement, together with any rights, remedies, power and discretions, incidental thereto. In addition, when acting in the capacity of trustee for the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent shall have all the rights, remedies and benefits of and in favor of the Administrative Agent contained in this Article X.

to as “SPV Entity Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of or resulting from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the use of proceeds of the Investments or the ownership or security interest in respect of any Pool Receivable or any other Supporting Assets; excluding, however, (a) SPV Entity Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such SPV Entity Indemnified Amounts resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct by the SPV Entity Indemnified Party seeking indemnification and (b) Taxes (other than (x) Taxes enumerated in clause (xiv) below, (y) any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim and (z) SPV Entity Indemnified Amounts to the extent arising from a material breach of such SPV Entity Indemnified Party’s obligations under any Transaction Document (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment)). Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the SPV Entity shall pay on demand (it being understood that if any portion of such payment obligation is made from Collections, such payment will be made at the time and in the order of priority set forth in Section 3.01(a)), to each SPV Entity Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such SPV Entity Indemnified Party from and against any and all SPV Entity Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from any of the following (excluding SPV Entity Indemnified Amounts set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above):

147

such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from or relating to collection activities with respect to such Pool Receivable;

(vii) any failure of such SPV Entity to perform any of its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions hereof and of each other Transaction Document related to Pool Receivables or to timely and fully comply with the Credit and Collection Policy in regard to each Pool Receivable;

(xvi) the use of, or receipt of Collections in, any Foreign Originator Account;

(xvii) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Pool Receivable (including a defense based on such Pool Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of goods or the rendering of

148

services related to such Pool Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish any such goods or services or other similar claim or defense not arising from the financial inability of any Obligor to pay undisputed indebtedness;

SECTION 11.03 Indemnification by the Servicers. Each Servicer, jointly and severally, hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each SPV Entity, the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Parties, the other Secured Parties and their respective assigns, officers, directors, agents and employees (each, a “Servicer Indemnified Party”), from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of activities of such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including any judgment, award, settlement, Attorney Costs; provided that, so long as no Event of Termination or Unmatured Event of Termination is continuing, such Attorney Costs shall be limited to those of not more than one firm of counsel for all such Servicer Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole (but excluding the SPV Entities), and, if necessary, a single local firm of counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all such Servicer Indemnified Parties (excluding the SPV Entities), taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, of another firm of counsel for such affected Servicer Indemnified Party) and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as, “Servicer Indemnified Amounts”); excluding (a) Servicer Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Servicer Indemnified Amounts resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct

149

by such Servicer Indemnified Party seeking indemnification, (b) Taxes that are covered by Section 4.03 (other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim), (c) Servicer Indemnified Amounts to the extent arising from a material breach of such Servicer Indemnified Party’s obligations under any Transaction Document (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), and (d) Servicer Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in respect of Pool Receivables that are uncollectible solely on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of creditworthiness or other financial inability to pay of the related Obligor. Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, such Servicer shall pay on demand, to each Servicer Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Servicer Indemnified Party from and against any and all Servicer Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from any of the following (excluding Servicer Indemnified Amounts set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above):

(i) any representation, warranty or statement made or deemed made by such Servicer (or any of its respective officers) under or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents, any Pool Report or any other information or report delivered by or on behalf of such Servicer pursuant hereto which shall have been untrue or incorrect when made or deemed made;

(ii) the failure by such Servicer to comply with any applicable Law with respect to any Pool Receivable or the related Contract; or the failure of any Pool Receivable or the related Contract to conform to any such applicable Law;

For the avoidance of doubt but without limiting any of any of each SPV Entity’s express obligations (including indemnification obligations) under any Transaction Document to which it

150

is a party, there shall be no recourse to such SPV Entity for such Servicer’s indemnification obligations hereunder other than to the extent expressly provided for in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document.

If and to the extent the Swiss Servicer becomes liable under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, be it under the indemnity, security given or otherwise, for obligations of any of its (direct or indirect) parent companies, sister companies or subsidiaries (other than its wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries, the “Upstream or Cross-Stream Obligations”) and if and to the extent complying with such liability or using the proceeds from the enforcement of the indemnity or security interest granted by an Originator to discharge the Upstream or Cross-Stream Obligations would constitute a repayment of capital (Einlagerückgewähr/Kapitalrückzahlung), a violation of the legally protected reserves (gesetzlich geschützte Reserven) or the payment of a (constructive) dividend (Gewinnausschüttung) or would otherwise be restricted under Swiss law and practice then applicable, such Swiss Servicer's aggregate liability for the Upstream or Cross-Stream Obligations, including the proceeds from the enforcement of the indemnity or security interest to be used to discharge the same, shall be limited to the maximum amount of such Originator’s freely disposable shareholder equity at the time of enforcement (the “Maximum Amount”) in accordance with, and mutatis mutandis subject to the further provisions of, Section 10.2 of the Swiss Transfer Agreement.

SECTION 11.04 Reimbursement by Purchasers. To the extent that any SPV Entity or a Servicer for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 11.01, 11.02 or 11.03 (as the case may be) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any of their respective Related Parties, each Purchaser severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Purchaser’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on the Purchasers’ respective Commitments at such time, or if all Commitments have been terminated, based on the Purchasers’ respective Capital at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Purchaser).

SECTION 11.05 Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each party hereto agrees not to assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other 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, any other Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Investment or the use of the proceeds thereof. No party hereto shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such liability or damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such party.

SECTION 11.06 Payments. All amounts due under this Article XI shall be payable not later than (i) in the case of such amounts due from any SPV Entity, the first Settlement Date that

151

occurs ten (10) or more days after demand therefor, or (ii) in any other case, ten (10) days after demand therefor.

SECTION 11.07 Survival. This Article XI and the parties’ respective rights and obligations hereunder shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

No reasonable delay or failure to take action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser Party in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any SPV Entity-Related Party, any Purchaser Party or any other Person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any SPV Entity-Related Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications”

154

means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any SPV Entity-Related Party pursuant to any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser Party by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

SECTION 12.04 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Purchasers shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

SECTION 12.05 Duration; Survival. All representations and warranties of the SPV Entity-Related Parties contained herein or made in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the completion of the transactions hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Final Payout Date. All covenants and agreements of the SPV Entity-Related Parties contained herein relating to the payment of Capital, principal, interest, Yield, premiums, additional compensation or expenses and indemnification, or that are otherwise specified as surviving termination of this Agreement, in each case, shall survive the Final Payout Date and any termination of this Agreement. All other covenants and agreements of the SPV Entity-Related Parties shall continue in full force and effect from and after the Closing Date and until the Final Payout Date

SECTION 12.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither SPV Entity nor any other SPV Entity-Related Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder (including, in each case, by way of an LLC Division) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser and no Purchaser may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (e) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Purchasers. Any Purchaser may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including

155

all or a portion of its Commitment and the Investments at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(1) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Purchaser’s Commitment and the Investments at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(2) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Purchaser, an Affiliate of a Purchaser or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(2) in any case not described in clause (i)(1) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Investments outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding Capital of the Investments of the assigning Purchaser subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of such Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each SPV Entity otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Investment or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(2) of this Section and, in addition:

(1) The consent of each SPV Entity (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Purchaser, an Affiliate of a Purchaser or an Approved Fund; provided that the SPV Entities shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

156

(2) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments to a Person that is not a Purchaser with a Commitment, an Affiliate of such Purchaser or an Approved Fund with respect to such Purchaser.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500. The assignee, if it is not a Purchaser, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to any SPV Entity-Related Party or any SPV Entity-Related Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Purchaser hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Purchaser or a Subsidiary thereof.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Purchaser hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto specified herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of each SPV Entity and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Investments previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Purchaser, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Purchaser to the Administrative Agent and each other Purchaser hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Investments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Purchaser hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Purchaser for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(viii) Effectiveness; Release. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a

157

Purchaser under this Agreement, and the assigning Purchaser thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Purchaser shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.04, Section 4.01, and Article 11 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Purchaser will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Purchaser’s having been a Defaulting Purchaser. Any assignment or transfer by a Purchaser of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Purchaser of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Seller, shall maintain at one of its offices in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers, and the Commitments of, and outstanding Capital (and stated ▇▇▇▇▇ or interest) of the Investments owing to, each Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Seller, the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Seller and any Purchaser, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Purchaser may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Seller or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Seller or any of the Seller’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Purchaser’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Investments owing to it); provided that (i) such Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Seller, the Administrative Agent and the other Purchaser Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Purchaser shall be responsible for any indemnity under Article XI with respect to any payments made by such Purchaser to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Purchaser sells such a participation shall provide that such Purchaser shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Purchaser will not, without the consent

158

of the Participant, agree (other than as is already provided for herein) to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any matter specified in clause (i) through (vii) of Section 12.01 that affects such Participant. The Seller agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.04, 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.03(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.03(g) shall be delivered to the participating Purchaser)) to the same extent as if it were a Purchaser and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.04 as if it were an assignee under to paragraph (b) of this Section 12.06; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.01 or 4.03, with respect to any participation, than its participating Purchaser 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. Each Purchaser that sells a participation agrees, at the Seller’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Seller to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.04 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.02(b) as though it were a Purchaser; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.03 as though it were a Purchaser. Each Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the Capital or principal amounts (and stated interest or Yield) of each Participant’s interest in the Investments or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Purchaser 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. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Purchaser 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.

(e) Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally. Any Purchaser may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Purchaser, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Purchaser as a party hereto.

(f) Cashless Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Purchaser may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Investments in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Seller, the Administrative Agent and such Purchaser.

159

(g) Arrangers/Bookrunners. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the name of any arranger and/or bookrunner listed on the cover page of this Agreement may be changed by the Administrative Agent to the name of any Purchaser or Purchaser’s broker-dealer Affiliate, upon written request to the Administrative Agent by any such arranger and/or bookrunner and the applicable Purchaser or Purchaser’s broker-deal Affiliate.

SECTION 12.07 No Proceedings. Each of the Servicers, the Purchasers and each assignee of an Investment or any interest therein, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any SPV Entity any Relief Proceeding until one year and one day after the Final Payout Date; provided, that the Administrative Agent may take any such action in its sole discretion following the occurrence of an Event of Default. The provisions of this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 12.08 Confidentiality.

(a) General. Each Purchaser Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (ii) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (iv) to any other party hereto; (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (B) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any SPV Entity and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (vii) to (A) any rating agency in connection with rating any SPV Entity or its Subsidiaries or the Investments or (B) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; (viii) with the consent of any SPV Entity; or (ix) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this clause (a), or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any other Purchaser Party or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any SPV Entity. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the other Purchaser Parties may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Purchaser Parties in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Commitments.

160

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the SPV Entity-Related Parties or any of their Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents relating to the SPV Entity-Related Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser Party on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the SPV Entity-Related Parties or any of their Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the SPV Entity-Related Parties or any of their Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section shall prohibit any Person from voluntarily communicating, disclosing or providing information within the scope of the confidentiality provisions of this Section regarding suspected violations of laws, rules, or regulations to a governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization without any notification.

(b) Sharing Information With Affiliates of the Purchasers. Each SPV Entity and each Servicer acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to any SPV Entity or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Purchaser or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Purchaser and each of the SPV Entity-Related Parties hereby authorizes each Purchaser to share any information delivered to such Purchaser by such SPV Entity-Related Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement with any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Purchaser subject to the provisions of Section 12.08(a).

(c) By SPV Entities and Servicers. Each SPV Entity and each Servicer covenants and agrees to hold in confidence, and not disclose to any Person, the terms of this Agreement or the Fee Letter (including any fees payable in connection with this Agreement, the Fee Letter or any other Transaction Document or the identity of the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser Party); provided, however, that it may disclose such information (i) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential); (ii) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties; (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (iv) to any other party hereto; (v) with the consent of the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser; or (vi) to the extent such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this clause (c).

SECTION 12.09 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which

161

This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including any prior confidentiality agreements and commitments. Except as provided in Article V, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Transaction Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Each SPV Entity , each Servicer and each other SPV Entity-Related Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Service of Process. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, EACH OF THE CANADIAN GUARANTOR, THE CANADIAN SERVICER, THE UK SERVICER AND THE SWISS SERVICER (COLLECTIVELY, THE “FOREIGN ENTITIES”) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY DESIGNATES, APPOINTS AND EMPOWERS THE U.S. SERVICER AS ITS DESIGNEE, APPOINTEE AND AGENT TO RECEIVE, ACCEPT AND ACKNOWLEDGE FOR AND ON ITS BEHALF, AND ITS PROPERTIES, ASSETS AND REVENUES, SERVICE FOR ANY AND ALL LEGAL PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICES AND DOCUMENTS WHICH MAY BE SERVED IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION 12.10 WHICH MAY BE MADE ON SUCH DESIGNEE, APPOINTEE AND AGENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH LEGAL PROCEDURES PRESCRIBED FOR SUCH COURTS, WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT.

163

PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH FOREIGN ENTITY AGREES THAT THE FAILURE OF ANY SUCH DESIGNEE, APPOINTEE AND AGENT TO GIVE ANY NOTICE OF SUCH SERVICE TO IT SHALL NOT IMPAIR OR AFFECT IN ANY WAY THE VALIDITY OF SUCH SERVICE OR ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED THEREON. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL IN ANY WAY BE DEEMED TO LIMIT THE ABILITY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OTHER SECURED PARTIES TO SERVE ANY SUCH LEGAL PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICES AND DOCUMENTS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR TO OBTAIN JURISDICTION OVER THE UNDERSIGNED OR BRING ACTIONS, SUITS OR PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE UNDERSIGNED IN SUCH OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND IN MANNER, AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

Each assignee and each Participant acquiring an interest in an Investment, by its acceptance of such assignment or participation, agrees to comply with the immediately preceding sentence.

SECTION 12.12 Mutual Negotiations. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are the product of mutual negotiations by the parties thereto and their counsel, and no party shall be deemed the draftsperson of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any provision hereof or thereof or to have provided the same.

SECTION 12.13 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto

164

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-DownWrite-down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

SECTION 12.14 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Purchaser that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Purchaser) hereby notifies SPV Entity-Related Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the SPV Entity-Related Parties, which information includes the name and address of SPV Entity-Related Parties and other information that will allow such Purchaser or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the SPV Entity-Related Parties in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. Each SPV Entity shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 12.15 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Transaction Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Transaction Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by

165

the Laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the Laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Transaction Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Transaction Documents were governed by the Laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Purchaser shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b), (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

The obligations of each SPV Entity under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party shall be payable solely out of the assets of such SPV Entity and shall be obligations of such SPV Entity. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing by such SPV Entity in respect of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or for the payment of any fee hereunder or for any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement against a Servicer or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing (other than the SPV Entities), or any stockholder, employee, officer, director, incorporator or beneficial owner
