Section 2.1 The Variable Funding Certificates.

(a) On the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, Seller delivered to the Administrative Agent at its address set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement (for the benefit of the applicable Purchasers) on the Closing Date, a duly executed variable funding certificate (each such certificate, a “Variable Funding Certificate” or “VFC”), in substantially the form of Exhibit B. Each Variable Funding Certificate shall evidence an undivided ownership interest (and the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign and convey such undivided ownership interest to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers) in the Collateral purchased by a Purchaser in an amount equal, at any time, to the percentage equivalent of a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the Advances outstanding under the applicable VFC on such day, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total aggregate Advances Outstanding on such day. Interest shall accrue, and each VFC shall be payable, as described herein; provided that the aggregate amount outstanding under all VFCs at any one time shall not exceed the Facility Amount.

(b) On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, during the Revolving Period, the Seller may, at its option, request advances of funds under the VFCs (each, an “Advance”) and the Issuers may, in their sole discretion, fund such Advance ratably in accordance with their Issuer Purchase Limits (or in such other proportion as the Issuers may mutually agree), and if the Issuers do not fund the entire amount of such Advance, the Liquidity Banks shall fund, ratably in accordance with their Commitments, any portion of such Advance not funded by the Issuers; provided, that in no event shall the Purchasers make any Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance, the aggregate Advances Outstanding hereunder would exceed the lesser of (i) the Facility Amount or (ii) the Maximum Availability. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no Issuer shall fund any Advance at any time if, after giving effect thereto, the outstanding principal amount of Advances funded by such Issuer would exceed such Issuer’s Issuer Purchase Limit, and (ii) no Liquidity Bank shall be obligated to provide the Administrative Agent or the Seller with aggregate funds in connection with an Advance that would exceed such Liquidity Bank’s Commitment then in effect. Each Advance made by the Purchasers hereunder is subject to the interests of the Hedge Counterparties under Section 2.9(a)(1) and Section 2.10(a)(1) of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, (i) nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall constitute a commitment by any Issuer to fund any Advance and (ii) the Issuers shall not be liable to make any payments under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (all liability with respect to which shall be an obligation of the Liquidity Banks or the Administrative Agent).

(d) The initial Advances hereunder were funded on the Closing Date, and were funded against (i) the Seller’s acquisition from the Issuer (as defined in the Indenture) and assignment hereunder of the Existing Assets, free and clear of the Lien of the Indenture, and (ii) any Additional Assets necessary or desirable for the Seller to include as Assets to be financed hereunder in connection with procuring the release of the Existing Assets from the Indenture by repayment of the CS VII Issuer Financing Obligations secured under the Indenture in full.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement and the VFCs to be issued thereunder shall constitute a single revolving debt facility with a single maturity and Seller shall not take any action under the Agreement that would cause Seller to have outstanding one or more

debt obligations with two or more maturities hereunder. For purposes of this section, debt obligations have “two or more maturities” if they have different stated maturities or if the holders of the debt obligations possess different rights concerning the acceleration of or delay in the maturities of the obligations.

Section 2.2 [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 2.3 Procedures for Advances.

(a) Each Advance from a Purchaser hereunder shall be effected by the Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) delivering to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Custodian and the Backup Servicer) a duly completed Borrowing Notice (along with a Borrowing Base Certificate) no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City, New York time) at least one Business Day prior to the proposed Funding Date; provided that no more than two Advances shall be made in any one calendar week without the Administrative Agent’s prior consent. Each Borrowing Notice (along with a Borrowing Base Certificate) shall (i) specify the desired amount of such Advance, which amount must be at least equal to $250,000, (ii) specify the date of such Advance, (iii) specify the Assets to be financed on such Funding Date (including the appropriate file number and Outstanding Asset Balance for each Asset, and identifying each Rated Retained Security or Loan by type and whether such Loan is a Senior Loan, Senior B-Note Loan, Subordinated Loan, Acquired Loan, or Participation Loan) and (iv) include a representation that all conditions precedent for an Advance described in Article III hereof have been met. Each Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable.

Each Issuer shall promptly thereafter notify the Administrative Agent whether such Issuer has determined to make the requested Advance on the terms specified by the Seller, and the Issuers shall notify the Administrative Agent of the funding allocation as between them (if other than proportional to their Issuer Purchase Limits). The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Seller whether the Issuers have determined to make the requested purchase and, if so, whether all of the terms specified by the Seller are acceptable to the Issuers. If the Issuers have determined not to make the entire amount of an Advance requested to be made, the Administrative Agent shall promptly send notice of the proposed Advance to all of the Liquidity Banks concurrently specifying the date of such Advance, the aggregate amount of such Advance to be funded by the Liquidity Banks (which amount shall be equal to the portion of the Advance not funded by the Issuers), and each such Liquidity Bank’s portion thereof (determined ratably in accordance with its respective Commitment).

(b) On the date of each Advance, the applicable Purchasers shall upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make available to the Seller in same day funds, at such bank or other location reasonably designated by Seller in its Borrowing Notice given pursuant to this Section 2.3, an aggregate amount equal to the least of (i) the amount requested by the Seller for such Advance, (ii) an amount equal to the Availability on such Funding Date or (iii) the Facility Amount.

(c) Effective on the date of each Advance pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers making such Advance, all Assets listed on the attachment to the Borrowing Notice delivered in connection with such Advance, and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto.

(d) On each Funding Date, the obligation of each Liquidity Bank to remit its pro rata share of each Advance shall be several from that of each other Liquidity Bank and the failure of any Liquidity Bank to so make such amount available to the Seller shall not relieve any other Liquidity Bank of its obligation hereunder. No Liquidity Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Liquidity Bank to make funds available in connection with any Advance.


Section 2.4		Reduction of the Facility Amount; Mandatory and Optional Repayments; Increase of Commitment.

(a) The Seller may, upon at least 10 days’ prior written notice (such notice to be received by the Administrative Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City, New York time) on such day) to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the portion of the Facility Amount that exceeds the sum of the Advances Outstanding, accrued Interest, Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs; provided that each partial reduction of the Facility Amount shall be in an aggregate amount equal to at least $1,000,000. Each notice of reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) shall be irrevocable.

(b) The Seller may, upon one Business Day’s prior written notice (such notice to be received by the Administrative Agent and each Hedge Counterparty no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City, New York time) on such day) to the Administrative Agent, reduce the Advances Outstanding by remitting, to the Administrative Agent, for payment to the applicable Purchasers, (i) cash and (ii) instructions to reduce such Advances Outstanding, related accrued Interest, Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs; provided that no such reduction shall be given effect unless the Seller has complied with the terms of any Hedging Agreement requiring that one or more Hedge Transactions be terminated in whole or in part as the result of any such reduction of the Advances Outstanding, and Seller has paid all Hedge Breakage Costs and any payments owing to the relevant Hedge Counterparty for any such termination. Any reduction of the Advances Outstanding shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000. Any such reduction will occur only if sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all such amounts in the succeeding sentence in full. Upon receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts first to the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding by paying such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, second to the payment of related accrued Interest on the amount of the Advances Outstanding to be repaid by paying such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, and third to the payment of any Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs and any other payments owing to the applicable Hedge Counterparty in respect of the termination of any Hedge Transaction; provided, however, if such amounts are received during the Amortization Period, such amounts shall be applied in the order of priority set forth in Section 2.10. Any notice relating to any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) shall be irrevocable.

(c) If on any day (i) the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, does not own or have a valid and perfected first priority security interest in any of the Collateral or (ii) any Asset which has been represented by the Seller to be an Eligible Asset is later determined not to have been an Eligible Asset as of the related Cut-Off Date, upon the earlier of the Seller’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent or the Seller becoming aware thereof and the Seller’s failure to cure such breach within 30 days, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a collection (a “Deemed Collection”) of such Asset in full and shall on such day pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers and each Hedge Counterparty, an amount equal to (x) the Outstanding Asset Balance of the Asset (calculated without regard to either of the provisos contained in the definition of “Outstanding Asset Balance”) to be applied to the pro rata reduction of the principal of each VFC plus (y) any Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs and any other payments owing to the applicable Hedge Counterparty in respect of the termination of any Hedge Transaction required as a result of the Deemed Collection and retransfer of the related Asset contemplated by this Section 2.4(c). In connection with any such Deemed Collection, the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, shall automatically and without further action, be deemed to transfer to the Seller (or any Affiliate of the Seller designated by the Seller), free and clear of any Lien created by the Administrative Agent, all of the right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in, to, and under the Asset with respect to which the Administrative Agent has received such Deemed Collection, but without any other representation and warranty of any kind, express or implied.

Section 2.5 Determination of Interest.

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


Section 2.6		Percentage Evidenced by each Variable Funding Certificate.

The variable percentage ownership interest in the Collateral represented by each VFC shall be initially computed on its date of purchase as set forth in Section 2.1(a). Thereafter, until the Termination Date, each VFC shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each day prior to the Termination Date as set forth in Section 2.1(a). The variable percentage ownership interest in the Collateral represented by each VFC as computed (or deemed to be recomputed) as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Termination Date shall remain constant at all times on and after the Termination Date. The variable percentage ownership interest in the Collateral represented by each VFC shall become zero when its Advances and Interest have been indefeasibly paid in full.


Section 2.7		Notations on Variable Funding Certificates.

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


Section 2.8		Settlement Procedures for Special Reduction Amounts and Optional Sales.

On the Optional Sale Date (with respect to Optional Sales) and or prior to the Special Reduction Amount Date (with respect to Special Reduction Amounts), the Seller shall remit to the Administrative Agent the Optional Sale Proceeds or Special Reduction Amount, as applicable, for payment to reduce Advances Outstanding, related accrued Interest, Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs. Upon receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts first to the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding by paying such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, second to the payment of related accrued Interest on the amount of the Advances Outstanding to be repaid by paying such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, third to the payment of any Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs and any other payments owing to the applicable Hedge Counterparty in respect of the termination of any Hedge Transaction, and fourth, amounts remaining if any, shall be deposited in the Collection Account for distribution pursuant to Section 2.9 or Section 2.10, as applicable.

The Seller shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder at 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand; provided that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law.

(b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other governmental authority or agency (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation, compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, within ten days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be

accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Servicer shall pay (and to the extent the Servicer does not make such payment the Seller shall pay) directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction.

(c) If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15, any Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then within ten days after demand by such Affected Party, the Servicer shall pay (or to the extent the Servicer does not make such payment the Seller shall pay) to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts payable or paid by it.

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

(f) For avoidance of doubt, if the issuance of Interpretation No. 46 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or any other change in accounting standards or the issuance of any other pronouncement, release or interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the assets and liabilities of the Originator or Seller with the assets and liabilities of the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser or any Liquidity Bank (a “Consolidation Event”), such event shall constitute a circumstance on which such Affected Party may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 2.15. In addition, if a Consolidation Event shall occur, each of the Administrative Agent, Purchasers, Originator, Servicer and Seller agrees to work in good faith to (i) obtain a rating for the Advances acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (ii) seek an alternative term financing and facilitate the transfer or assignment by the Purchasers of the Advances and Assets in connection with such alternative term financing.

Section 2.16 Taxes.

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

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

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

(f) The Servicer will indemnify (and to the extent the indemnification provided by the Servicer is insufficient the Seller will indemnify) each Affected Party to the extent of any amounts that are required to be deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and are not so deposited by virtue of any Tax imposed as a result of Seller, CS Funding IX Depositor LLC, 2007-A/LLC or some portion or combination of the foregoing being treated as a “taxable mortgage pool” within the meaning of Section 7701(i) of the Code (and notwithstanding a breach, if any, by a Liquidity Bank of its obligations under Section 13.16(d) below).

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

Section 2.17 Assignment of the Sale Agreement.

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

(a) Establishment of Special Funding Account. On the Reserve Funding Date, the Collateral Custodian shall establish and shall thereafter maintain a separate segregated trust account with the Paying Agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the name of the Collateral Custodian (the “Special Funding Account”). On the Reserve Funding Date, the Seller shall deposit into the Special Funding Account an amount not less than $12,500,000 in immediately available funds.

(b) Purpose. The Special Funding Account is being established for the sole purpose of providing Seller funding for Eligible Assets in an amount exceeding its Loan Threshold Amount and that is not funded through New Advances (a “Qualified Utilization”).

Section 2.22 Appointment of the Placement Agent.

The Seller and the Servicer each hereby appoints the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, or any Affiliate designated by the Administrative Agent, the “Placement Agent”) as the sole lead manager on any term takeout of Loans financed pursuant to this Agreement (a “Refinancing”), whether through the asset-backed securities market, in connection with Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility program provided by The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “TALF Program”), or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller and Servicer hereby acknowledge that the appointment of the Placement Agent is a separate engagement from the “Liquidity Bank” role and arrangement provided by Citibank, N.A. or any of its affiliates and such appointment has been directed by the Seller in its sole discretion. In connection with any such Refinancing, the Placement Agent shall, in its reasonable judgment and in consultation with the Seller, determine the timing, terms and Assets to be included in any such Refinancing; including any determination that the entry into such Refinancing would achieve extended terms and a lower cost of funds with respect to financing of the subject Loans than the existing terms hereunder. Upon receiving notice from the Placement Agent of a proposed Refinancing, the Seller, the Servicer and the Originator each agrees to cooperate with the Placement Agent and its designees, consistent with their rights hereunder and the terms hereof, to the extent necessary or appropriate to effectuate any Refinancing by the Placement Agent pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.22, including cooperating in making available to the Placement Agent the Asset Files and servicing records relating to the Loans. In consideration of the benefits received from the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Seller, the Servicer and Originator each hereby agrees and covenants that in connection with each Refinancing, it shall, at the request of the Placement Agent, make such representations and warranties concerning the Loans as of the “cutoff date” of the related Refinancing to or as directed by the Placement Agent as may be reasonably necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Placement Agent, to effect such Refinancing, including any representations and warranties that may be required under the TALF Program. In addition, the Seller, the Servicer and Originator shall (A) cooperate with the Placement Agent in effecting any such Refinancing, including the transfer of all Asset Files with respect to the Loans and shall cooperate to implement all requirements imposed by any rating agency involved in any Refinancing; (B) supply such information, opinions of counsel, letters from law and/or accounting firms (including any certifications, opinions and auditor attestations required under the TALF Program) and other documentation and certificates regarding the origination of the Loans as the Placement Agent or any prospective purchaser or investor shall reasonably request to effect a Refinancing, and enter into such indemnification agreements customary for such transaction (and substantially similar to indemnification agreements provided for in similar transactions among the parties to the Refinancing) relating to or in connection with the Refinancing as the Placement Agent may reasonably require, including certifications, agreements and documents that may be required under the TALF Program; (C) make itself available for and engage in good faith consultation with the Placement Agent and prospective purchasers or investors concerning information to be contained in any document, agreement, private placement memorandum, prospectus, prospectus supplement or similar document or filing with The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Securities and Exchange Commission or such other governmental or regulatory entity relating to the Seller or the related Loans and use reasonable efforts to compile any information and prepare any reports and certificates, into a form, whether written or electronic, suitable for inclusion in such documentation,

including certifications, agreements and documents that may be required under the TALF Program; and (D) to implement the foregoing and to otherwise effect any such Refinancing, enter into, or cause its Affiliates to enter into insurance and indemnity agreements, underwriting or placement agreements, servicing agreements, purchase agreements and any other documentation which may be reasonably required by the Placement Agent in order to effect any such Refinancing; and take such further actions as may be reasonably necessary to effect the foregoing; provided, that, (a) the Seller shall not have any liability for the Loans arising from or relating to the ongoing ability of the related obligors to pay under the Loans; (b) none of the indemnities hereunder shall constitute an unconditional guarantee by the Seller of collectibility of the Loans; (c) the Seller shall not have any obligation with respect to the financial inability of any obligor to pay principal, interest or other amount owing by such obligor under a Loan, (d) the Seller, the Servicer and the Originator shall not be obligated to make any representation or warranty that is not true, noting that the Seller, the Servicer and the Originator shall make reasonable efforts to take all applicable actions which would make such representation or warranty to be true, and (e) the Seller, the Servicer and the Originator shall not be required to breach any confidentiality agreement by which it is bound, noting that the Seller, the Servicer and the Originator shall make reasonable efforts similar to efforts made in previous transactions between the parties to obtain permissions to take the applicable action which would otherwise have been a breach of such confidentiality agreement. All costs and expenses in connection with this Section 2.22 shall be the sole responsibility of the Seller.

Section 6.3 Authorization of the Servicer.

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

(d) Taxes and other Amounts.

(g) [Intentionally Omitted.]

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

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

(j) Transfer of Collection Account to Citibank. If at any time CapitalSource Inc.’s Consolidated Tangible Net Worth is less than the TNW Test Level or if a Servicer Default occurs pursuant to Section 6.15(j), then the Servicer shall, within ten Business Days following notice from the Administrative Agent, establish, or cause to be established, a new account with an office or branch of Citibank, maintained in the name of the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Citibank, which new account shall thereafter constitute the “Collection Account” hereunder for all purposes, and the Collateral Custodian shall thereafter not be responsible for the maintenance of, deposits to or withdrawals from such account. All of the parties hereto hereby consent to any such transfer of the Collection Account.

Section 6.5 Servicer Advances.

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

Section 6.6 Realization Upon Charged-Off Assets.

The Servicer will use reasonable efforts to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Related Property relating to a Charged-Off Asset and will act as sales and processing agent for Related Property that it repossesses. The Servicer will follow such other practices and procedures as it deems necessary or advisable and as are customary and usual in its servicing of contracts and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such Related Property, which practices and

105

procedures may include reasonable efforts to enforce all obligations of Obligors and repossessing and selling such Related Property at public or private sale in circumstances other than those described in the preceding sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless the Administrative Agent has specifically given instruction to the contrary, the Servicer may sell any such Related Property to the Servicer or its Affiliates for a purchase price equal to the then fair market value thereof, any such sale to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to the Administrative Agent setting forth the Asset, the Related Property, the sale price of the Related Property and certifying that such sale price is the fair market value of such Related Property. In any case in which any such Related Property has suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any repair or toward the repossession of such Related Property unless it reasonably determines that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Recoveries by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer will remit to the Collection Account the Recoveries received in connection with the sale or disposition of Related Property relating to a Charged-Off Asset.

Section 6.7 Maintenance of Insurance Policies.

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

Section 6.8 Servicing Compensation.

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

106

The Servicer will be required to pay all reasonable fees and expenses owing to any bank or trust company in connection with the maintenance of the Collection Account and the Lock-Box Account. The Servicer shall be required to pay such expenses for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than the Servicing Fee.

Section 6.16 Appointment of Successor Servicer.

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

110

Backup Servicer as the Servicer hereunder, and the Backup Servicer shall on such date assume all obligations of the Servicer hereunder, and all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Backup Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee, together with other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise as provided herein; including, without limitation, Transition Expenses. In the event that the Administrative Agent does not so appoint the Backup Servicer, there is no Backup Servicer or the Backup Servicer is unable to assume such obligations on such date, the Administrative Agent shall as promptly as possible appoint a successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Administrative Agent shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution, having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of Collateral, as the Successor Servicer hereunder.

(b) Upon its appointment, the Backup Servicer (subject to Section 6.16(a)) or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable; provided that the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall have (i) no liability with respect to any action performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, becomes the successor to the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any advancing obligations, if any, of the Servicer unless it elects to in its sole discretion, (iii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer (provided that the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall pay any income taxes for which it is liable), (iv) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the transactions contemplated hereby, and (v) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer, including the original Servicer. The indemnification obligations of the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, upon becoming a Successor Servicer, are expressly limited to those arising on account of its failure to act in good faith and with reasonable care under the circumstances. In addition, the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Servicer contained in Article IV. Further, for so long as the Backup Servicer shall be the Successor Servicer, the provisions of Section 2.15, Section 2.16(b) and Section 2.16(e) of this Agreement shall not apply to it in its capacity as Servicer.

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

(d) Upon the Backup Servicer receiving notice that it is required to serve as the Servicer hereunder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.16, the Backup Servicer will promptly begin the transition to its role as Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Backup Servicer may, in its discretion, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established servicing institution as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. As compensation, any Successor Servicer

111

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

Section 6.17 Servicing of REO Assets.

(a) If, in the reasonable business judgment of the Servicer, it becomes necessary to convert any Loan that is secured by a Mortgage or real property and included in the Collateral into an REO Asset in accordance with Section 6.6, following receipt of written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent may be evidenced by the execution of the Administrative Agent of any supplement to the REO Pledge Agreement with respect to any REO Asset Owner newly formed to hold such REO Asset), the Servicer shall first cause the Seller to transfer and assign such Real Estate Loan (or the portion thereof owned by the Seller) to a special purpose vehicle (the “REO Asset Owner”) using a contribution agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 09-G (an “REO Contribution Agreement”). All membership interests and any other equity of the REO Asset Owner acquired by the Seller shall immediately become a part of the Collateral and be subject to the grant of a security interest under Section 9.1 and the REO Pledge Agreement and shall be promptly delivered to the Collateral Custodian, each undated and duly indorsed in blank. The REO Asset Owner shall be formed and operated pursuant to a limited liability company operating agreement substantially in the form as Exhibit 09-H, with any alterations thereto as reasonably agreed to by the Servicer and the Administrative Agent. After execution thereof, the Servicer shall prevent the REO Asset Owner from agreeing to any amendment or other modification of the REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating agreement without first obtaining the written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Servicer shall cause each REO Asset to be serviced (i) in accordance with Applicable Laws, (ii) with reasonable care and diligence, (iii) in accordance with the applicable REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating agreement, (iv) in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and (v) with a view toward maximizing Recoveries on such REO Asset (collectively, the “REO Servicing Standard”). The Servicer will cause all “Distributable Cash” (as defined in each REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating agreement) to be

112

deposited into the Collection Account promptly, and in any event within two Business Days of receipt thereof. At all times prior to the “Threshold Date” (as defined in the applicable REO Asset Owner limited liability company operating agreement), the Servicer shall not permit the REO Asset Owner to undertake any of the activities set forth in Section 9.4(c) (or comparable section) of such REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating agreement.

(a) In the event that title to any Related Property is acquired on behalf of the REO Asset Owner for the benefit of its members in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of a REO Asset Owner. The Servicer shall cause the REO Asset Owner to manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Asset for its members solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not (and shall not permit the REO Asset Owner to) obtain title to any Related Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership interest in any Obligor pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial owner of Related Property, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Related Property if, as a result of any such action, the REO Asset Owner would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of, such Related Property within the Meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable state or local environmental law, unless the Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the REO Servicing Standard, based on an updated Phase I environmental assessment report generally prepared in accordance with the ASTM Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Standard E 1527-05, as may be amended or, with respect to residential property, a property inspection and title report, that:

(i) such Related Property is in compliance in all material respects with applicable environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Sellers and the REO Asset Owner to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Related Property in compliance therewith, and

(ii) there are no circumstances present at such Related Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation would reasonably be expected to be required by the owner, occupier or operator of the Related Property under applicable federal, state or local law or regulation, or that, if any such hazardous materials are present for which such action would reasonably be expected to be required, after consultation with an environmental consultant, it would be in the best economic interest of the Seller and the REO Asset Owner to take such actions with respect to the affected Related Property.

In the event that the Phase I or other environmental assessment first obtained by the Servicer with respect to Related Property indicates that such Related Property may not be in compliance with applicable environmental laws or that hazardous materials may be present but does not definitively establish such fact, the Servicer shall cause such further environmental assessment activities to be conducted by an independent third-party who regularly conducts such assessments as the Servicer shall deem prudent to protect the interests of the Seller and the REO Asset Owner. Any such assessments shall be deemed part of the environmental assessment obtained by the Servicer for purposes of this Section 6.17(c).

Section 9.1 Grant of Security Interest.

The parties to this Agreement intend that the conveyance of the Collateral by the Seller to the applicable Purchasers be treated as sales for all purposes (other than for the purposes described in Section 13.19 and for accounting purposes).

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

In connection with any sale of such Related Property, the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties will after the deposit by the Servicer of the Proceeds of such sale into the Collection Account, at the sole expense of the Servicer, execute and deliver to the Servicer any assignments, bills of sale, termination statements and any other releases and instruments as the Servicer may reasonably request in order to effect the release and transfer of such Related Property; provided that the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties will make no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such Related Property in connection with such sale or transfer and assignment. Nothing in this section

123

shall diminish the Servicer’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.6 with respect to the Proceeds of any such sale.

The provisions of Section 13.12 shall apply to the security interest granted under Section 9.1 as well as to the Advances hereunder.

Section 9.5 Waiver of Certain Laws.

Each of the Seller and the Servicer agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each of the Seller and the Servicer, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Administrative Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such parcels as the Administrative Agent or such court may determine.

Section 9.6 Power of Attorney.

Each of the Seller and the Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at is expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement, including without limitation the following powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Seller and the Servicer hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (d) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document or Hedging Agreement.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 12.1 The Administrative Agent.

(a) Each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent and bailee for purposes of perfection pursuant to the applicable UCC or other Applicable Law and hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents and bailees to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each Secured Party. Each Secured Party further authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or appropriate or that a Secured Party may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Seller hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution by the Administrative Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Collateral now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. The Purchasers may direct the Administrative Agent to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Liquidity Banks; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the

131

taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. In the event the Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Purchaser or a Liquidity Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten Business Days of such Person’s receipt of such request, then such Purchaser or Liquidity Bank shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant actions.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with the Purchasers or Liquidity Banks, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of the Administrative Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist for the Administrative Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent for the Purchasers and Liquidity Banks and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Seller or any of its successors or assigns.

(c) Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Seller or the Originator), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the Seller, the Originator, or the Servicer or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Seller, the Originator, or the Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

(d) Credit Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent. Each Secured Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(e) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each Liquidity Bank agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller or the Servicer), ratably in

132

accordance with its Commitment (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, then ratably according to the respective amounts of the sum of (x) the aggregate Advances Outstanding funded by it plus (y) the additional Advances it may be required to fund under the applicable Liquidity Agreement) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder; provided that none of the Liquidity Banks shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Liquidity Bank agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its Commitment (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, then ratably according to the respective amounts of the sum of (x) the aggregate Advances Outstanding funded by it plus (y) the additional Advances it may be required to fund under the applicable Liquidity Agreement) promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Seller or the Servicer.

(f) Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time, effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, by giving at least five days’ written notice thereof to each Purchaser and the Seller and may be removed at any time with cause by the Purchasers acting jointly. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Purchasers and (unless a Termination Event then exists) the Seller acting jointly shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Each of the Purchasers and the Seller agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent shall be either (i) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (ii) an Affiliate of such a bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

(g) Payments by the Administrative Agent. All amounts received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Purchasers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such Business Day, in which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to the applicable Purchasers on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such Purchasers not later than the following Business Day.

(h) Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning

133

all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

(i) Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Seller, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Seller and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any Hedging Agreement, as the case may be.

(j) Administrative Agent and its Affiliates. The Administrative Agent and any of its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Seller, Originator or Servicer or any Affiliate of the foregoing as though the Administrative Agent was not the Administrative Agent. With respect to the Advances made pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Liquidity Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent.

Section 13.16 Assignments.

(a) This Agreement and each Issuer’s rights and obligations herein (including ownership of each Asset) shall be assignable by the Issuers and their successors and assigns to any Eligible Assignee (including, without limitation, pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement); provided that concurrently with any such assignment, such Issuer assigns to such Eligible Assignee a corresponding portion of its rights and

140

obligations under the 2007-A Facility. Each assigning Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Seller of any such assignment.

(b) Each Liquidity Bank may assign to any Eligible Assignee or to any other Liquidity Bank all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and any Assets or interests therein owned by it); provided, however, that

(iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $2,500,

(iv) with respect to any Liquidity Bank, concurrently with such assignment, such assignor Liquidity Bank shall assign to such assignee Liquidity Bank or other Eligible Assignee an equal percentage of its rights and obligations under the Liquidity Agreement (or, if such assignor Liquidity Bank is Citibank, it shall arrange for such assignee Liquidity Bank or other Eligible Assignee to become a party to the Liquidity Agreement for a maximum principal amount equal to the assignee’s Commitment),

(v) concurrently with any such assignment, such Liquidity Bank assigns to such Eligible Assignee or such other Liquidity Bank, as applicable, a corresponding portion of its rights and obligations under the 2007-A Facility, and

(vi) Citibank may not assign any portion of its Commitment to the extent that it reduces such Commitment below 50% of the Facility Amount.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Liquidity Bank hereunder and (y) the assigning Purchaser shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, relinquish such rights and be released from such obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Purchaser shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) With respect to the Liquidity Banks, the Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 13.2 of this Agreement a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Liquidity Banks and the Commitment of, and aggregate outstanding principal of Advances owned by, each Liquidity Bank from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Seller, the Originator, the Administrative Agent and the Liquidity Banks may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Liquidity Bank under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available

141

for inspection by the Seller or any Liquidity Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by an assigning Liquidity Bank and an Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Seller.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 13.16, any Liquidity Bank may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of interest and principal) under this Agreement or under any Liquidity Agreement to secure obligations of such Liquidity Bank to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Seller or the Administrative Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Liquidity Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or under the Liquidity Agreement, as the case may be, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Liquidity Bank as a party hereto or to the Liquidity Agreement, as the case may be, and provided, further that concurrently with any such pledge, such Liquidity Bank pledges a corresponding portion of its rights and obligations under the 2007-A Facility.

(e) Each Liquidity Bank may sell participations, to one or more banks or other entities, in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances owned by it); provided, however, that

(i) such Liquidity Bank’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Seller hereunder) shall remain unchanged,

(ii) such Liquidity Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations,

(iii) concurrently with such participation, the selling Liquidity Bank shall sell to such bank or other entity a participation in an equal percentage of its rights and obligations under the Liquidity Agreement; and

(iv) concurrently with such participation, such Liquidity Bank sell to such participant a corresponding participation under the 2007-A Facility.

The Administrative Agent, the Purchasers, other Liquidity Banks and the Seller shall have the right to continue to deal solely and directly with such Liquidity Bank in connection with such Person’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(f) This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent herein shall be assignable by the Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not assign such rights and obligations to any Person other than an Affiliate of Citibank unless:

(i) in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent determines that continued service by it (or its Affiliate) as Administrative Agent hereunder would be inconsistent with, or otherwise disadvantageous under, applicable legal, tax or regulatory restrictions, in which case the Administrative Agent shall notify the Seller of such determination and consult with the Seller regarding the selection of an assignee; or

(ii) there shall have occurred any Termination Event, which shall be continuing; or

142

(iii) the Seller shall have consented to such assignment (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(g) The Seller may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein, or permit any Lien (other than any Permitted Lien) to exist upon, any of the Seller’s rights, obligations or duties under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Hedge Counterparty.

(h) Each of the Purchasers and any Eligible Assignee that becomes a party to this Agreement shall be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed as follows:

(1) Such Person is either (i) a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), who is also a Qualified Purchaser (as defined in the 1940 Act), acquiring the Variable Funding Certificate for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of whom is a qualified institutional buyer who is also a Qualified Purchaser, or (ii) an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act who is also a Qualified Purchaser.

(2) The Variable Funding Certificate may not be reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred except to a Qualified Purchaser. Such Person understands that the Variable Funding Certificate may not at any time be held by or on behalf of a Person that is not a Qualified Purchaser. No sale, pledge or other transfer of the Variable Funding Certificate (or any interest therein) may be made if such transfer would have the effect of requiring the Seller to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act.

clause (vi) above) or (B) all the Revolving Loans (in the case of clause (iv) or (v) above) will be allocated between the portion owned by the Originator, its Affiliate special purpose entities under the warehouse or term facilities then outstanding and the portion owned by the Seller, pro rata based upon the outstanding principal amount of each such portion.

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

The provisions of this Agreement and all related Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties.
