(b) Upon the identification of an Eligible Investment or a group of Eligible Investments, Sourcer shall provide to Owner an Eligible Investment Summary not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the date that Sourcer proposes that Owner purchase or otherwise acquire such Eligible Investment or Eligible Investments. If the Eligible Investment Summary with respect to an Eligible Investment or a group of Eligible Investments proposed to be sourced by Sourcer discloses any non-compliance with the Credit Policy or exceptions to the representations and warranties with respect to such Eligible Investment or Eligible Investments, Owner shall deliver written notice to Sourcer, not less than two (2) Business Days following Owner’s receipt of the applicable Eligible Investment Summary, indicating whether or not Owner elects (which election may be made by Owner in its sole discretion) to purchase or otherwise acquire the applicable Eligible Investment or Eligible Investments.

If an Eligible Investment Summary with respect to an Eligible Investment or group of Eligible Investments proposed to be sourced by Sourcer does not disclose any non-compliance with the Credit Policy or exceptions to the applicable representations and warranties, Owner shall be deemed to have approved such Eligible Investment or Eligible Investments and shall thereafter purchase or otherwise acquire such Eligible Investment or Eligible Investments and Servicer may proceed to fund such Eligible Investment or Eligible Investments in accordance with Section 3.1(e) below.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.1(b) above, Owner may, from time to time and upon not less than ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Sourcer (an “Exclusion Notice”), elect to exclude from consideration any particular Eligible

Investment or general type of Eligible Investments (including Eligible Investments from a particular Contractor, whether or not such Contractor is an Eligible Contractor or was previously approved by Owner), and from and after the date that such Exclusion Notice is delivered by Owner, Owner shall be under no obligation to purchase or otherwise acquire any such excluded Eligible Investment or general type of Eligible Investments; provided, however, that Owner shall purchase or otherwise acquire any such excluded Eligible Investments as to which Sourcer has, on or before the date of delivery of the applicable Exclusion Notice, issued a binding commitment letter to the applicable approved Eligible Contractor (and Sourcer shall deliver to Owner a copy of each such commitment letter within five (5) days after a request therefor by Owner).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.1(b) above, in the event that, after the date hereof, there shall occur any modification to any federal, state and local law or other governmental rule or regulation governing or otherwise affecting the Eligible Investments and such modification precludes or restricts the ability of Owner to purchase a particular Eligible Investment or general type of Eligible Investments or otherwise frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, Owner may elect to exclude from consideration the Eligible Investments or general type of Eligible Investments that are adversely affected by such modified law, rule or regulation, such exclusion to take effect immediately upon delivery of written notice thereof to Sourcer.

4.3 Collateral. In the event that, during the term of this Agreement, Owner or any Affiliate of Owner acquires title to any Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, or acquires title to any other rights or interests in connection with the restructure, settlement, satisfaction (in whole or in part) or other transaction relating to the Investments, such Collateral, rights and interests shall be deemed to be a part of the applicable Investment secured by such Collateral for all purposes of this Agreement.

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of Sourcer to cure a Sourcer Purchase Event or purchase an Investment pursuant to this Section 4.4(a) is not intended to, and shall not, constitute a guaranty of the collectibility of any payment of any Investment which is not collected, not paid

or uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or financial inability to pay of the related Obligor.

(b) Upon deposit in the Collection Account of the price paid to Owner for any Investment purchased by Sourcer under Section 4.4(a), the lien of Owner in such Investment shall, without any further action, be released and Owner shall take such steps as may be reasonably requested by Sourcer in order to assign to Sourcer all of Owner’s right, title and interest in and to such Investment and all security and documents and all Related Security and Other Property directly relating thereto, without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind, except as to the absence of liens, charges and encumbrances created by, or arising solely as a result of the actions of, Owner. Such assignment shall be a sale and assignment outright, and not for security. If, following the reassignment of an Investment, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that Sourcer may not enforce any Investment on the grounds that it is not a party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Investment, Owner shall, at the expense of Sourcer, take such steps as Sourcer deems reasonably necessary to enforce such Investment, including bringing suit in Owner’s name.

(c) No failure or delay, on the part of Owner or any assignee thereof, in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any power, right or remedy.

Each of Sourcer and Servicer shall maintain an office having an address as listed in Section 15.5 herein or as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this Section 7.1, at its expense, where demands and notices to or upon such party in connection with this Agreement may be made or delivered (provided that demands and notices made or delivered hereunder shall be delivered in accordance with Section 15.5). Such office need not be distinct from any office in which such party carries on other activities. Each of Sourcer and Servicer shall have the right to change its offices from time to time upon at least fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof to Owner.

(b) In performing its obligations under this Agreement, Servicer shall employ adequate personnel to perform its duties hereunder and shall maintain an efficient system for the collection of all amounts due under the Investments.

7.3 Controlled Accounts. Promptly after the date of this Agreement, Servicer shall establish, with a depository institution or trust company approved by Owner (the “Lockbox Bank”), (i) a post office box to which payments from Obligors in respect of the Investments shall be remitted for retrieval by the Lockbox Bank (the “Lockbox”), (ii) an account to which payments from Obligors in respect of the Investments may be wired and into which the Lockbox Bank shall deposit payments delivered by Obligors to the Lockbox (the “Lockbox Account”) and (iii) an account for the collection and retention of amounts deposited into the Lockbox Account (the “Collection Account” and collectively with the Lockbox Account, the “Controlled

Accounts”). Sourcer shall cause the terms of each Contract to provide for the deposit of payments by the Obligor thereunder directly into the Lockbox or by wire transfer to the Lockbox Account. Servicer shall take the following actions with respect to the Controlled Accounts, except to the extent otherwise required under applicable law:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sourcer shall reimburse to Owner, within forty (40) Business Days after the commencement of each Investment Year, an amount equal to the Excess Sourcing Fees with respect to the prior Investment Year, if any, as determined with reference to the Annual Sourcing Reconciliation for such Investment Year.

(b) All Investments acquired as part of any Investment Pool shall be cross-collateralized for purposes of determining payment of Monthly Fees in accordance with this Article VIII.

(d) All amounts payable by Owner pursuant to this Section 11.3 shall be paid out of the assets of the trust comprising Owner and shall not be the personal liabilities of the Owner Trustee.

11.4 Indemnity Procedures.

(a) If any claim shall be asserted, or any action, suit or other proceeding shall be instituted, by a third party against any Indemnitee with respect to any occurrence as to which the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall have any indemnity obligation under this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the assertion of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and shall tender the defense and, subject to this Section 11.4, settlement or compromise of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding to Indemnifying Party for conduct thereof by Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall timely commence and diligently continue such defense, settlement or compromise at its sole expense. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to select counsel, subject to the Indemnitee’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, for such defense. Should any such claim, action, suit or proceeding result in a final and unappealable judgment, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay the same. Each Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party to the extent the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request such cooperation, but at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall succeed to and have the benefit of all the defenses, claims and other rights of each Indemnitee relating to or affecting any obligation or liability of the Indemnifying Party under this indemnity, and each Indemnitee agrees to fully disclose any and all such defenses, claims and other rights to the Indemnifying Party and, upon request, to promptly execute any documents and take any other action (at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Party) necessary or desirable to transfer to the Indemnifying Party the right to benefit from such defenses, claims or other rights. The Indemnitee shall have the right (but shall not have the obligation), upon notice to the Indemnifying Party at any time and at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, to be represented by counsel of its choice (provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under this subparagraph for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnitees unless a conflict of interest exists between

or among the Indemnitees) and to assert in any such action, suit or proceeding any counterclaims or cross claims the Indemnitee may have.

(b) In the event the Indemnifying Party fails to timely commence the defense, settlement or compromise thereof, the Indemnitee shall have the right (but shall not have the obligation), upon notice to the Indemnifying Party and failure of the Indemnifying Party to act, defend, settle, compromise or take such other action as the Indemnitee shall deem necessary in connection with any such claim, action, suit or proceeding (and, in the event it is determined that the Indemnitee was entitled to be indemnified under this Article XI by the Indemnifying Party), to be indemnified by the Indemnifying Party for the entire cost of defense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and experts’ fees and expenses (including those incurred in connection with appellate proceedings). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any party making such claim or any party to any such action, suit or proceeding shall take any action to create or impose any lien or encumbrance on any of the assets of the Indemnitee in respect of such claim, action, suit or proceeding or if any judgment shall be entered which would result in the Indemnitee being obligated to pay the same, the Indemnifying Party shall provide such bond, deposit or take such other action as shall be required to prevent the creation or imposition of any such lien and to stay the execution of such judgment pending any appeal or other proceeding prior to final entry thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle or compromise any such claim, action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, provided that any such settlement involves solely the payment of money and, at the time of such settlement or compromise, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy and discharge any and all liability of the Indemnitee resulting therefrom or shall post security reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee to assure the ultimate satisfaction and discharge of such liability. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any such claim, action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The failure or delay of the Indemnitee to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the institution of any claim, action, suit or other proceeding shall not release or otherwise limit the indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall be prejudiced by the failure or delay of the Indemnitee to give the Indemnifying Party notice of such action, suit or proceeding.

11.5 Recovery of Costs in Resolving Disputes. In the event any dispute between the parties to this Agreement shall result in litigation or other proceeding, the court shall have the discretion to award to the prevailing party all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such litigation or other proceeding and any appeal thereof. Such costs, expenses, fees and disbursements shall be included in and made a part of the judgment recovered by the prevailing party, if any.

Any such fidelity bond shall protect and insure Owner, at a minimum, against losses, including theft, embezzlement and fraud. The minimum coverage under any such bond shall be at least $1,000,000. No provision of this Section 12.2 requiring such fidelity bond shall diminish or relieve Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. Within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement, Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Owner a certificate of insurance (and, upon request by Owner, a certified true copy of the blanket fidelity bond), a certificate from the insurer certifying the existence of the same and a statement from the issuer that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Owner.

Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default (and, with respect to a Servicer Event of

Default that is a Curable Event of Default, the failure of Servicer to cure such Servicer Event of Default within any applicable cure periods provided pursuant to Section 13.1), Owner may terminate the appointment of Servicer under this Agreement by written notice to Servicer and may thereafter replace Servicer with the Backup Servicer; provided, however, that if Initial Servicer is Servicer at the time that any Servicer Event of Default occurs, Owner may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Sourcer and Servicer. The right of termination set forth in this Section 13.2 shall not be the exclusive remedy available to Owner, it being agreed and acknowledged by the parties to this Agreement that, upon the occurrence of a Sourcer Event of Default or a Servicer Event of Default (and the expiration of any applicable cure periods), Owner may pursue any remedies available at law or in equity.

13.3 Remedies of Sourcer. Upon the occurrence of an Owner Event of Default (and, with respect to an Owner Event of Default that is a Curable Event of Default, the failure of Owner to cure such Owner Event of Default within any applicable cure periods provided pursuant to Section 13.1), Sourcer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Owner.

13.7 Effect of Termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement by a party hereto or the termination of the appointment of such party or another party in accordance with the terms of this Article XIII, such termination shall be effective upon the Termination Effective Date. In the case of a termination by Owner of this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.2 or Section 13.6 or a termination by Sourcer of this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.3, this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the Termination Effective Date. In the case of a

termination by Owner of the appointment of Servicer in accordance with Section 13.2 or Section 13.5 or a termination by Servicer of its appointment in accordance with Section 13.4, such appointment shall automatically terminate on the Termination Effective Date and all authority and power of Servicer shall pass to and be vested in Backup Servicer. In the event that this Agreement (or, with respect to Servicer, the appointment of Servicer) is terminated in accordance with this Article XIII, Sourcer and Servicer (or Servicer, in the case of a termination of the appointment of Servicer) shall be entitled to receive all fees and reimbursements of expenses provided for in this Agreement to the extent earned, accrued or incurred in accordance with this Agreement prior to the Termination Effective Date. From and after the Termination Effective Date, Sourcer and Servicer (or Servicer, in the case of a termination of the appointment of Servicer) shall not be entitled to receive any fees or reimbursements of expenses provided for in this Agreement, whether or not the same have been earned, accrued or incurred prior to the Termination Effective Date; provided, however, that (A) the foregoing shall be inapplicable as to Sourcer in the case of a termination of this Agreement by Owner pursuant to Section 13.5 or Section 13.6, as more particularly described in the next succeeding sentence and (B) if, at the time of such termination, Initial Servicer is not Servicer, Servicer shall be entitled to receive all fees and reimbursements of expenses due to Servicer hereunder and unpaid for the period prior to the Termination Effective Date. In the case of a termination of this Agreement by Owner pursuant to Section 13.5 or Section 13.6, (i) Originator shall be entitled to receive all unpaid Sourcing Fees with respect to Investments originated prior to the Termination Effective Date (subject to Originator’s reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 8.1(b)) and all Performance Fees payable with respect to Investments originated prior to the Termination Effective Date, whether the same become payable prior to or after the Termination Effective Date, and (ii) Servicer shall be entitled to receive all Management Fees due and unpaid with respect to periods prior to the Termination Effective Date.

(b) Commencing with the 2007 Investment Year and thereafter during the term of this Agreement, FCC shall have the option to offer, in writing to Owner, the opportunity to participate in a new Investment Pool for the purpose of acquiring Eligible Investments during the following Investment Year in accordance with this Agreement.

Such agreement shall set forth in more detail the conditions under which such restrictions shall be applicable.

15.13 Rights of FCC in Eligible Investments. In addition to its right to acquire an Eligible Investment declined by Owner pursuant to Section 15.12(d) above, in the event that Owner shall elect not to purchase or otherwise acquire any Eligible Investment proposed by FCC in accordance with this Agreement, FCC or any Affiliate thereof may thereafter acquire such Eligible Investment on its own behalf or otherwise offer such Eligible Investment to a third party, in either case, on terms no more favorable than the terms offered to Owner.

15.14 Confidentiality. Each party hereto shall, and shall direct all of its partners, members, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, attorneys, accountants, trustees, consultants, Affiliates and advisors having access to any Confidential Information, to keep confidential and not disclose any Confidential Information unless (i) such disclosure shall be required by applicable law, governmental rule or regulation, court order or administrative or arbitral proceeding or by any bank or insurance regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Member, (ii) such disclosure is reasonably required in connection with any tax audit involving such party or (iii) such disclosure is reasonably required in connection with any litigation or other dispute against or involving such party; provided, however, in the event that a party is required or permitted to disclose any Confidential Information in accordance with the foregoing clause (i), (ii) or (iii), such party shall use good faith efforts to notify the other parties of the intended disclosure of such Confidential Information reasonably in advance of such disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any party may disclose (A) to its Affiliates or investors and, to the extent doing so reasonably advances or protects the interests of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to other Persons, the identity of the other parties hereto and (B) with respect to Sourcer, (1) to its Affiliates or investors, its interest in any Investment and the terms thereof and (2) to any Person, a description of the Investments (not to include any information relating to price paid for such Investments).

15.16 Exculpation. This Agreement has been executed and delivered by U.S. Bank Trust National Association, not in its individual capacity, but solely in its capacity as trustee of Owner under the Owner Trust Agreement, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall U.S. Bank Trust National Association have any liability in respect of the representations, warranties or obligations of Owner hereunder, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of Owner.
