If accrued and unpaid unused commitment fees are not paid in full on a Payment Date, the Borrower shall pay additional interest on such accrued and unpaid unused commitment fees at the same rate per annum as the Borrower pays on the Advances, such additional interest being payable on each Payment Date as and to the extent provided in Section 2.08.

respect to a Payment Date, and (y) thereafter, each successive period from and including each Determination Date with respect to a Payment Date continuing to but excluding the earlier of the following Determination Date or the end of the Revolving Period; and (2) if the Borrower increases the Maximum Facility Amount pursuant to the First Amendment or in accordance with Section 2.15, (x) initially, for the period commencing on the date of such increase continuing to but excluding the immediately following Determination Date with respect to a Payment Date, and (y) thereafter, each successive period from and including each Determination Date with respect to a Payment Date continuing to but excluding the earlier of the following Determination Date or the end of the Revolving Period. Utilization Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as and to the extent provided in Section 2.08.

(d)The Borrower shall pay the fees set forth in the Fee Letters on the term and conditions provided therein.

(e)If any Lender notifies a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Agent that a Eurodollar Disruption Event has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall in turn so notify the Borrower, whereupon the interest rate for the Advances will be, at the election of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) and the Borrower, an interest rate per annum equal to (i) a comparable or successor floating rate that is, at such time, a rate based on the underlying index interest rates applicable to the Portfolio Assets as such Advance as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) with the written consent of the Borrower plus (ii) the Applicable Spread (or such other spread amount as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) and the Borrower) in all cases until such Lender has notified a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Agent that such Eurodollar Disruption Event has ceased, at which time the interest rate applicable to the Advances will again be equal to a rate per annum equal to LIBOR for the applicable LIBOR Period plus the Applicable Spread. A determination by the Majority Lenders of the existence of any Eurodollar Disruption Event (any such determination to be communicated to the Borrower by written notice from the Administrative Agent promptly after a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Agent receives notice of such event from the Majority Lenders), or of the effect of any Eurodollar Disruption Event on its making or maintaining Advances, is conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, if the Calculation Agent determines, or the Majority Lenders determine, in each case, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error (with, in the case of a determination by the Majority Lenders, a copy to the Borrower and the Calculation Agent), or the Borrower notifies the Calculations that the Borrower has determined, that:

i.adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any applicable interest period, because the LIBOR quote for the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

ii.the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date (“Scheduled Unavailability Date”) after which LIBOR for the LIBOR Screen Rate will no longer be available or used for determining the interest rate of loans; or

NAI-15121569431515895953v1213    -35-

iii.syndicated loans denominated in U.S. Dollars currently being executed in the United States, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR;

then, reasonably promptly after such determination or receipt of notice by the Calculation Agent, the Calculation Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders), the Majority Lenders and Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar syndicated credit facilities denominated in U.S. Dollars for such alternative benchmarks (“LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and the amendment shall be effective at 5:00 p.m. on the tenth Business Day after the Administrative Agent posts the amendment to all Lenders and Borrower unless, prior to such time, the Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that they do not accept the amendment.

(f)If any amount payable by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate. Upon the request of the Majority Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all Advances outstanding hereunder at the Default Rate.

(g)All computations of interest and all computations of interest and fees hereunder with respect to Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. All other computations of interest and all computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

(h)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Advance, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Advance under Applicable Law (collectively, “charges”), exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Advance in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Advance hereunder, together with all charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. To the extent lawful, the interest and charges that would have been paid in respect of such Advance but were not paid as a result of the operation of this Section 2.05(h) shall be cumulated and the interest and charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Advance or periods shall be increased (but not above the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount shall have been received by such Lender. Any amount collected by such Lender that exceeds the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of such Advance or refunded to the Borrower so that at no time shall the interest and charges paid or payable in respect of such Advance exceed the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate.

SECTION 2.06    Payments and Computations, Etc.

(a)Not later than 20 Business Days prior to the last day of each calendar quarter with respect to each Payment Date pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof, and otherwise not later

Any Obligation hereunder shall not be reduced by any distribution of any portion of Available Collections if at any time such distribution is rescinded or required to be returned by any Lender to the Borrower or any other Person for any reason.

(b)Other than as otherwise set forth herein, whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time is reflected in the computation of interest and fees.

(c)To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and (ii) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Calculation Agent, as applicable, upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent or the Calculation Agent, as applicable.

After the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control in the manner described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent, to the exclusion of the Portfolio Asset Servicer, may withdraw from the Collection Account any deposits therein constituting Excluded Amounts.

Subject to compliance by the Borrower with the immediately prior sentence, on the Release Date of each subject Portfolio Asset and related Portfolio Assets, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall automatically and without further action be deemed to have released all right, title and interest and any Lien of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in, to and under such Loan Asset and related Portfolio Assets and all future monies due or to become due with respect thereto, without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind or nature.

(d)Conditions to Sales. Any Sale of a Portfolio Asset is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

i.unless the Majority Lenders otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and the Majority Lenders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to a request for consent within three (3) Business Days (or, in the case of an Underlying Obligor Default with respect to such Portfolio Asset arising under clause (a) of such defined term, five (5) Business Days)), the Proceeds from such Sale (expressed as a percentage of par) shall be no less than ten (10) percentage points lower than the most recent value of the Portfolio Asset subject to such Sale (expressed as a percentage of par); and

ii.the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any amount to be deposited into the Collection Account in connection with any Sale.

(e)Treatment of Amounts Deposited in the Collection Account. Amounts deposited by the Borrower or the Portfolio Asset Servicer in the Collection Account pursuant to this Section 2.10 on account of Portfolio Assets shall be treated as payments of Principal Collections (other than in

NAI-15121569431515895953v1213    -46-

connection with the sale of accrued interest which shall be treated as a payment of Current Income Collections) for purposes of Section 2.08 and shall be applied as provided in Section 2.08(a) or Section 2.08(c), as applicable.

SECTION 2.11    Release of Portfolio Assets. The Borrower may obtain the release from the Lien of the Administrative Agent granted under the Transaction Documents of (a) any Portfolio Asset (and the related Portfolio Assets pertaining thereto) removed from the Collateral in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.10 and (b) any Portfolio Asset (and the related Portfolio Assets pertaining thereto) that terminates or expires by its terms and for which all amounts in respect thereof have been paid in full by the related Obligors and deposited in the Collection Account.

Upon the release of the Administrative Agent’s Lien as described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Loan Asset File will be returned to the Borrower as provided in Section 9.09.

SECTION 2.12    Increased Costs.

(a)If any Change in Law shall:

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

ii.subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its Advances, Commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

iii.impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, continuing or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, within ten (10) days after the submission of the certificate contemplated by Section 2.12(c) by such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that, such amount or amounts shall be no greater than the amount or amounts that such Lender is generally claiming from its other borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower.

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

NAI-15121569431515895953v1213    -47-

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

(b)A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.12(a) or (b) and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the next Payment Date that is not less than 10 days after receipt thereof.

(c)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 2.13    Taxes.

(a)All payments made by the Borrower or, at the direction of the Borrower, or on behalf of the Borrower (including without limitation payments made by the Calculation Agent from the Collection Account on behalf of the Borrower (to the extent amounts are available in the Collection Account)) under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If the Borrower shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Indemnified Taxes from any amounts payable to any Recipient (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent), then the amount payable to such Person will be increased (the amount of such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that every net payment made under this Agreement after withholding for or on account of any Indemnified Taxes (including any Taxes on such increase) is not less than the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been made. Any amounts deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 2.13(a) will be timely paid by the applicable Withholding Agent to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. The foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts with respect to payments required to be made by the Borrower (or Calculation Agent on the Borrower’s behalf, solely as provided in this Section 2.13(a), and at all times subject to Section 2.13(d)) under this Agreement will not, however, apply with respect to Excluded Taxes.

(b)Without duplication of any other amount payment under Section 2.13(a) or otherwise under this Agreement, the Borrower will indemnify each Recipient for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes payable by such Person in respect of, or required to be withheld from, payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder, including Indemnified Taxes imposed or assessed on or attributable to Additional Amounts and including penalties, interest and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date a written invoice therefor is delivered to the Borrower, with a copy to the Calculation Agent.

NAI-15121569431515895953v1213    -48-

(c)Each Lender will indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent and the Collateral Custodian for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent and the Collateral Custodian for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting any obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 2.03 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent and the Collateral Custodian in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Lender by the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent and the Collateral Custodian, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date a written invoice therefor is delivered to the Lender.

(d)Within 15 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower or, at the direction of the Borrower, by the Calculation Agent from the Collection Account of the Borrower on behalf of the Borrower (to the extent amounts are available in the Collection Account) to the applicable Governmental Authority of any Taxes pursuant to this Sections 2.13 and 11.07(b), the Borrower or the Calculation Agent, as applicable, will furnish to the Administrative Agent at the applicable address set forth on this Agreement, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to the extent received by the Calculation Agent or the Borrower, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, in no case or circumstance is the Calculation Agent liable to pay any Taxes, and if it pays any such amounts, it will solely be on behalf of the Borrower, from the Collection Account held by the Borrower to the extent amounts are available therein.

(e)Each Lender (including any assignee thereof) that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “NonU.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower, the Calculation Agent and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly executed copies of whichever (if any) of the following is applicable for claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payment by the Borrower under this Agreement: (i) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (claiming the benefits of an applicable tax treaty), W-8IMY, W-8EXP or W-8ECI or (ii) in the case of a NonU.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F to the effect that such Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. Taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code (a “Tax Compliance Certificate”) and a Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, in each case (A) with any required attachments (including, with respect to any Lender that provides an U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, any of the forms or other documentation described in clauses (i) and (ii) above for any of the direct or indirect owners of such Lender) and (B) any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto. In addition, each Lender (including any assignee thereof) that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Calculation Agent two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, properly completed and duly executed and claiming complete exemption, or shall otherwise establish an exemption, from U.S. backup withholding. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender on or about the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Calculation Agent at any time it determines that it is

NAI-15121569431515895953v1213    -49-

no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower or the Calculation Agent (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to deliver. The applicable Withholding Agent is entitled to withhold all amounts required to be withheld by Applicable Law from any payment hereunder to any Lender until such Lender shall have furnished to the applicable Withholding Agent any requested forms, certificates, statements or documents. For the purposes of this Section 2.13(d), “Lender” shall include any other recipients of payments on the Collateral as directed by any Lender to the Calculation Agent.

(f)A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the applicable Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the applicable Withholding Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation or information prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate (or otherwise permit the applicable Withholding Agent to determine the applicable rate of withholding); provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.13(e) and (g)) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(g)If a payment made to a Lender under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Calculation Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Calculation Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, Administrative Agent or Calculation Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower, Administrative Agent and Calculation Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.13(g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(h)If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes for which it was indemnified by the Borrower, or the Calculation Agent on behalf of the Borrower, in each case, pursuant to this Section 2.13 or with respect to which the Borrower, Administrative Agent or the Calculation Agent on behalf of the Borrower, in each case, has paid Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower, Administrative Agent or the Calculation Agent on behalf of the Borrower, in each case, under this Section 2.13 with respect to the Taxes or Additional Amounts giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including additional Taxes, if any) of such Recipient, as the case may be, incurred in obtaining such refund, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Borrower, upon the request of such Recipient, shall repay to such Recipient the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.13(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that

NAI-15121569431515895953v1213    -50-

such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.13(h), in no event will the Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.13(h) the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(i)The Lenders and any transferees or assignees thereof after the Closing Date will be required to provide to the applicable Withholding Agent all information, documentation or certifications reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent to permit the Withholding Agent to comply with its tax reporting obligations under Applicable Laws, including any applicable cost basis reporting obligations.

(j)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.13 survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.14    Extension of Revolving Period and Stated Maturity Date

(a)The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders not later than 30 days prior to the date set forth in clause (i) of the definition of Revolving Period (the “Initial Revolving Period”), request that the Lenders extend the Revolving Period to a date occurring one year from the last day of the Initial Revolving Period and the Stated Maturity Date to a date occurring five years after the last day of the Revolving Period (after giving effect to such extension). The Borrower may only make a request under this Section 2.14(a) once. If the Borrower extends the Revolving Period pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the Maximum Facility Amount in effect as of such extension date.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of the Revolving Period and Stated Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not be effective with respect to any Lender unless:

x.xx Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto; and

ii.the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date).

(c)In connection with any extension of the Revolving Period and Stated Maturity Date, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may make such amendments to this Agreement as the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Initial Lender) and the Borrower mutually determine to be reasonably necessary to evidence the extension.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to increase its Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.15 and any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion of such Lender; provided that with respect to any Incremental Commitment set forth in clause (a)(1), each Lender shall be obligated to increase its Commitment by such Lender’s then-existingthen‐existing Pro Rata Share of such Incremental Commitment.

(c)The Calculation Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date for such increase pursuant to this Section 2.15 (an “Incremental Commitment Effective Date”) and, if applicable, the final allocation of such increase among the Persons providing such increase; provided, that, such date shall be a Business Day at least ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the request for such increase (unless otherwise approved by the Calculation Agent) and at least 30 days prior to the end of the Revolving Period. To effect such increase, the Borrower, the applicable Incremental Lenders and the Administrative Agent (but no other Lenders or Persons) shall enter into one or more agreements, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the applicable Incremental Lenders will provide the Incremental Commitments. Effective as of the applicable Incremental Commitment Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.15, each Incremental Commitment shall be a Commitment (and not a separate facility hereunder) and the Advances made by the applicable Incremental Lenders on such Incremental Commitment Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.15(e) shall be Advances, for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, xxxxx increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not be effective with respect to any Incremental Lender unless:

x.xx Unmatured Event of Default or, Event of Default or Market Trigger Event shall have occurred and be continuing on the Incremental Commitment Effective Date and after giving effect to such increase;

iii.each Incremental Lender shall have received an upfront fee in the amount of 0.750.35% on its Incremental Commitment; and

NAI-15121569431515895953v1213    -52-

iv.the Administrative Agent shall have received one or more agreements contemplated above, providing for Incremental Commitments in the amount of such increase.

As of such Incremental Commitment Effective Date, upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the documents required by this Section 2.15(d), the Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in the applicable agreement contemplated above in the Register and give prompt notice of the increase in the Commitments to the Borrower and the Lenders (including each Incremental Lender).

(e)On each Incremental Commitment Effective Date, if there are Advances then outstanding, the Borrower shall be deemed to prepay such Advances and deemed to reborrow Advances from the Incremental Lenders, as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to such deemed prepayments and borrowings, all Advances will be held ratably by the Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share after giving effect to the applicable Incremental Commitments and the Lenders shall make such payments or adjustments as are equitable (or purchase participations in the Advances) so that the Advances will be held ratably by the Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share after giving effect to the applicable Incremental Commitments (or, if the Lenders otherwise agree, the Lenders, including the Incremental Lenders, may assign portions of the outstanding Advances to accomplish the same result).

SECTION 2.16    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or Additional Amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, then such Lender shall (at the request of Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or Additional Amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.16(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.04), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.13) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Transaction Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that:

i.such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances and participations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents from the assignee

NAI-15121569431515895953v1213    -53-

(to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

xx.xx the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.13, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

iii.such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.

Any Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.17    Defaulting Lenders.

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

i.Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Majority Lenders and Section 11.01.

ii.Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VI or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.13 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Calculation Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Calculation Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Calculation Agent; third, if so determined by the Calculation Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement; fourth, as such amounts are provided to the Administrative Agent, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, as such amounts are provided to the Administrative Agent, so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, as such amounts are provided to the Administrative Agent, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (B) such Advances were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the

NAI-15121569431515895953v1213    -54-

payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

iii.Unused Commitment Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any unused commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.06(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and (if not a Defaulting Lender) the Initial Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender and (ii) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)Termination of Defaulting Lender. The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.17(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(d)Market Trigger Event Cure. In the event a Market Trigger Event occurs, the Borrower may cure such Market Trigger Event upon written notice to the Calculation Agent of its intent to so cure within ten (10) Business Days of such occurrence and no later than five (5) Business Days after such notice, the Borrower shall cause any or a combination of: (i) cash to be deposited into one or more Collection Accounts (the “Cure Contributions”), (ii) additional Eligible Portfolio Assets to be transferred to the Borrower or (iii) repayment of Advances Outstanding, collectively, in an amount equal to the amount required to cure such Market Trigger Event.

The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or Holdings), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 7.05    Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Transaction Document by or through any one or more agents, sub-agents or attorneys appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such agents, sub-agent or attorneys may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such party and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such party. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, sub-agents or attorney appointed by it with due care. Notwithstanding

NAI-15121569431515895953v1213    -86-

anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent shall not appoint any Competitor as a sub-agent.

SECTION 7.06    Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a)The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Initial Lender shall have the right to appoint a successor (with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the extent no Event of Default is continuing. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Initial Lender and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Initial Lender) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Competitor or Defaulting Lender shall be appointed as a successor to the Administrative Agent.

(b)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and (ii) except for any fees, expenses and indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Initial Lender appoints a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to fees, expenses and indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Article VII and Section 11.07 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its subagents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.07    Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 7.08    Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Article X or Section 11.07 to be paid by it to the

NAI-15121569431515895953v1213    -87-

Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders to make payments pursuant to Section 7.08 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any such payment on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its payment under Section 7.08.

SECTION 7.09    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower or Holdings, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties under Section 11.07) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 11.07.

SECTION 7.10    Collateral Matters.

(a)Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to release any Lien on any collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document including, without limitation, the Collateral and Pledged Equity (i) as provided in Section 2.11 or (ii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.01. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Majority Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property. In each case as specified in this Section 7.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the Calculation Agent such documents as the Calculation Agent may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral and Pledged Equity

NAI-15121569431515895953v1213    -88-

from the assignment and security interest granted under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents and this Section 7.10.

(b)The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by the Borrower or the Applicable Servicer in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

(c)It is understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent (i) shall have no responsibility with respect to the determination of whether any Pledged Equity is certificated or uncertificated and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall only be responsible for holding Pledged Equity to the extent actually received.

(h)Subject in all cases to Section 9.02(c), in case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Custodian may, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, request instructions from the Borrower and may, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, request instructions from the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Collateral Custodian shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Administrative Agent. In no event shall the Collateral Custodian be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Collateral Custodian has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(i)In no event shall the Collateral Custodian be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action (including any laws, ordinances, regulations) or the like that delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of services by the Collateral Custodian as contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07    Collateral Custodian Resignation.

(a)The Collateral Custodian shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon the Collateral Custodian’s determination that (A) the performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable Law and (B) there is no reasonable action that the Collateral Custodian could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under Applicable Law or (ii) upon at least 90 days’ prior notice to the other parties hereto. Upon any such resignation, the Borrower and the Majority Lenders acting jointly shall appoint a successor Collateral Custodian (provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required after the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default). If no successor Collateral Custodian shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Collateral Custodian shall not

NAI-15121569431515895953v1213    -106-

have been delivered to the Collateral Custodian within 45 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Collateral Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Custodian. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor Collateral Custodian shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Collateral Custodian. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Competitor shall be appointed as a successor Collateral Custodian.

(b)Upon the effective date of such resignation, or if the Administrative Agent gives Collateral Custodian written notice of an earlier termination hereof, the Collateral Custodian shall (i) be reimbursed for any costs, fees and expenses that the Collateral Custodian shall incur in connection with the termination of its duties under this Agreement and (ii) deliver all of the Required Loan Documents in the possession of Collateral Custodian to the Administrative Agent or to such Person as the Administrative Agent may designate to Collateral Custodian in writing upon the receipt of a request in the form of Exhibit E; provided that the Borrower consents to any successor Collateral Custodian appointed by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Majority Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

SECTION 9.08    Release of Documents.

(a)Release for Servicing. From time to time and as appropriate for the enforcement or servicing of any Portfolio Asset, the Collateral Custodian is hereby authorized (unless and until such authorization is revoked by the Administrative Agent during the continuation of an Event of Default), upon written receipt from the Portfolio Asset Servicer of a request for release of documents and receipt in the form of Exhibit E, to release to the Portfolio Asset Servicer within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such request, the related Required Loan Documents and any other Loan Asset File held by the Collateral Custodian or the documents set forth in such request. All documents so released to the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall be held by the Portfolio Asset Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Portfolio Asset Servicer shall return to the Collateral Custodian such Required Loan Documents and any other Loan Asset Files held by the Collateral Custodian or other such documents (i) promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent during the continuation of an Event of Default or (ii) when the Portfolio Asset Servicer’s need therefor in connection with such enforcement or servicing no longer exists, unless the related Portfolio Asset is liquidated, in which case, the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall deliver an additional request for release of documents to the Collateral Custodian and receipt certifying such liquidation from the Portfolio Asset Servicer to the Administrative Agent, all in the form of Exhibit E.

(b)Limitation on Release. Promptly after delivery to the Collateral Custodian of any request for release of documents, the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall provide notice of the same to the Administrative Agent. During the continuation of an Event of Default, any additional Required Loan Documents or documents requested to be released by the Portfolio Asset Servicer may be released only upon written authorization of the Administrative Agent. The limitations of this Section 9.08(b) shall not apply to the release of Required Loan Documents and any other Loan Asset Files held by the Collateral Custodian to the Portfolio Asset Servicer pursuant to Section 9.08(a).

SECTION 9.09    Return of Loan Asset Files. The Borrower may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), or the Portfolio Asset Servicer may require that the Collateral Custodian return each Loan Asset File (a) delivered to the Collateral Custodian in error or (b) released from the Lien of the Administrative Agent

NAI-15121569431515895953v1213    -107-

hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11, in each case by submitting to the Collateral Custodian a written request in the form of Exhibit E (signed by the Borrower with respect to the Portfolio Assets and, during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent) specifying the Loan Asset File to be so returned and reciting that the conditions to such release have been met (and specifying the Section or Sections of this Agreement being relied upon for such release). For the avoidance of doubt, unless an Event of Default is the continuing, no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any such release of a Loan Asset File in accordance with this Section. The Collateral Custodian shall upon its receipt of each such request for return executed by the Borrower and the Portfolio Asset Servicer or, during the continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, return the Loan Asset File so requested to the Borrower or the Portfolio Asset Servicer, as applicable.

SECTION 9.10    Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Collateral; Audits of Portfolio Asset Servicer. The Collateral Custodian shall provide to the Administrative Agent, the Portfolio Asset Servicer and the Calculation Agent access to the Loan Asset Files held by the Collateral Custodian and all other documentation regarding the Collateral including in such cases where the Administrative Agent, the Portfolio Asset Servicer or Calculation Agent is required in connection with the enforcement of the rights or interests of the Secured Parties, or by applicable statutes or regulations, to review such documentation, such access being afforded without charge but only (a) upon four Business Days prior written request, (b) during normal business hours and (c) subject to the Collateral Custodian’s normal security and confidentiality procedures. Periodically on and after the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent may review the Portfolio Asset Servicer’s collection and administration of the Loan Asset Files in order to assess compliance by the Portfolio Asset Servicer with the Servicing Standard, as well as with this Agreement and may conduct an audit of the Loan Asset Files in conjunction with such a review. Such review shall be reasonable in scope and shall be completed in a reasonable period of time; provided that, if no Event of Default is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall be allowed one such review per calendar year. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.10, from time to time (and, in any case, a minimum of three times during each calendar year) upon reasonable notice to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall permit independent public accountants or other auditors appointed by the Portfolio Asset Servicer to conduct, at the expense of the Borrower, a review of the Loan Asset Files and all other documentation regarding the Collateral.

SECTION 9.11    Bailment. The Collateral Custodian agrees that, with respect to any Loan Asset File at any time or times in its possession or held in its name, the Collateral Custodian is the agent and bailee of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, for purposes of perfecting (to the extent not otherwise perfected) the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral and for the purpose of ensuring that such security interest is entitled to first priority status under the UCC.

SECTION 9.12    Indemnification of the Collateral Custodian. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Collateral Custodian 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 Collateral Custodian 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 Collateral Custodian hereunder or thereunder; provided that (a) the Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Collateral Custodian’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction and (b) no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Lenders, the Lenders or the Borrower shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Article IX.

ARTICLE X.INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 10.01    Indemnities by the Borrower.

(a)Without limiting any other rights which the Secured Parties or any of their respective Affiliates may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Borrower shall indemnify the Secured Parties and each of their respective Affiliates, assigns, officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party” for purposes of this Article X) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”), incurred by or asserted such Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of (i) this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or in respect of any of the Collateral, (ii) any Advance or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 10.01 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b)Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.01 shall be paid by the Borrower to the applicable Indemnified Party within thirty days following receipt by the Borrower of the written demand therefor on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party. Any request for indemnification under this Section 10.01 shall be in the form of a notice setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of the Indemnified Amounts with respect to which such indemnification is requested.

(c)If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 10.01 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (in each case, other than as a result of the express limitations set forth therein), then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(d)If the Borrower has made any payments in respect of Indemnified Amounts to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 10.01 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Borrower in an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts, without interest.

(e)The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.01 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent, the Portfolio Asset Servicer or the Collateral Custodian or the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.02    Legal Proceedings. In the event an Indemnified Party becomes involved in any action, claim, or legal, governmental or administrative proceeding (an “Action”) for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other party or parties against

NAI-15121569431515895953v1213    -109-

whom it seeks indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the nature and particulars of the Action; provided that its failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure has a material adverse effect on the Indemnifying Party. Upon written notice to the Indemnified Party acknowledging in writing that the indemnification provided hereunder applies to the Indemnified Party in connection with the Action, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of the Action at its expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, but shall not settle or compromise such Action without the written consent of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel in connection with the Action, and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party after the Indemnifying Party has done so; provided that if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the Action, the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Action, it shall have full control over the conduct of such defense; provided that the Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall, as reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party or its counsel, consult with and keep them informed with respect to the conduct of such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle an Action without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement provides for the full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in connection with the Action. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Action. Each applicable Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time after such Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by such Indemnified Party relating to the claim giving rise to the Indemnified Amounts.

The obligations of the obligated party in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to any Secured Party under any of the Transaction Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Secured Party of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Other Currency, such Secured Party may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the applicable Secured Party in the Original Currency, the obligated party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding the judgment, to indemnify such Secured Party, against any loss, and, if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Lender in the Original Currency, such Secured Party shall remit such excess to the applicable obligated party.
