ADVANCES, NOTE AND PREPAYMENTS

Section 2.01 Advances Before the Term Period Commencement Date.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, on the Effective Date, and thereafter from time to time prior to (i) the Commitment Termination Date and (ii) the Term Period Commencement Date, the Conduit Lenders may in their sole discretion, and each Committed Lender shall, if the Conduit Lender in any Committed Lender’s Lender Group elects not to, make Advances to the Borrower in an amount, for each Lender Group, equal to such Lender Group’s Lender Group Percentage of the amount requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03; provided that no Lender shall make any such Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance:

(i) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Advances funded by such Lender hereunder shall exceed its Conduit Lending Limit (in the case of a Conduit Lender) or Commitment (in the case of a Committed Lender);

(ii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Advances shall exceed the Maximum Committed Credit;

(iii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Advances funded by the Lenders in any Lender Group shall exceed the Lender Group Limit for such Lender Group; and

(iv) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Advances shall exceed the Borrowing Base.

(b) Advances on the Term Period Commencement Date.

(i) On the Term Period Commencement Date, each Committed Lender shall, and each Committed Lender severally agrees to, make an Advance in Dollars into the Collateral Advance Account in an amount equal to the excess of (i) such Committed Lender’s Commitment over (ii) the sum of (A) the unpaid principal amount of Advances held by such Committed Lender on such date and (B) the product of (1) such Committed Lender’s Pro Rata Share and (2) the principal amount of all Advances held by the Conduit Lender as of such date of determination.

(ii) On the Term Period Commencement Date, each Committed Lender shall, and each Committed Lender severally agrees to, purchase from its related Conduit Lender, such Committed Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all of the Advances then held by

-25-

such Conduit Lender plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. On the Term Period Commencement Date, each Conduit Lender shall, and each Conduit Lender severally agrees to sell to its related Committed Lenders, each such Committed Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all of the Advances then held by such Conduit Lender plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The purchases and sales described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be made without any representations or warranties by any purchasing Committed Lender or selling Conduit Lender.

(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, on each day during the Term Period, the aggregate outstanding balance of the Advances shall be deemed to be equal to Maximum Committed Credit.

(c) Minimum Amounts; etc. If there is more than one Committed Lender in a Lender Group, each such Committed Lender shall lend its Pro Rata Share of such Lender Group’s Lender Group Percentage of each requested Advance, to the extent such Advance is not made by the related Conduit Lender. Each Advance, other than the Advance to be made on the Term Period Commencement Date in accordance with Section 2.01(b), shall be in a minimum principal amount equal to $250,000 and in integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof. Subject to Section 2.08(a) hereof, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow the Advances hereunder.

Section 2.02 Notes. The Advances shall be evidenced by promissory notes (as from time to time supplemented, extended, amended or replaced, the “Notes”), substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, with appropriate insertions, dated the Effective Date, payable to the order of each Managing Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders in such Managing Agent’s Lender Group, in the maximum principal amount of such Managing Agent’s Lender Group Limit (or, if less, in the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all of the Advances) on the Termination Date or such other date as is specified herein. Each Managing Agent shall record in its records, or at its option on the schedule attached to the Notes, the date and amount of each Advance made hereunder, the interest rate with respect thereto, each repayment thereof, and the other information provided for thereon. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on the Notes. The failure so to record any such information or any error in so recording any such information shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the actual obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the Notes to repay the principal amount of all Advances, together with all interest accruing thereon, as set forth in this Loan Agreement.

Section 2.03 Procedure for Borrowing.

(a) The Borrower may request an Advance (or, during the Term Period, a disbursement of funds from the Collateral Advance Account) hereunder, on any Business Day during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, by delivering to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent, with a copy to the Custodian, a Notice of Borrowing and Pledge, appropriately completed and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, which Notice of Borrowing and Pledge must be received by the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent, with a copy to the Custodian, prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date;

-26-

provided, that the Borrower shall not request more than two Advances (or, during the Term Period, a disbursement of funds from the Collateral Advance Account) for any calendar week. Such Notice of Borrowing and Pledge shall (i) attach a schedule identifying the Eligible Medallion Loans that the Borrower proposes to pledge to the Administrative Agent and to be included in the Borrowing Base in connection with such Advance (or, during the Term Period, such disbursement of funds from the Collateral Advance Account), (ii) contain the amount of the Advance (or, during the Term Period, the disbursement of funds from the Collateral Advance Account) requested to be made on such Funding Date, (iii) specify the requested Funding Date, (iv) include certification from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (A) as to the satisfaction of all of the matters referred to in Sections 5.02 (a), (b) and (c) hereof, (B) that, as of the requested Funding Date with respect to each Eligible Medallion Loan listed in the Notice of Borrowing and Pledge after giving effect to the requested increase (1) the Custodian shall have (A) received the Medallion Loan File with respect to each such Eligible Medallion Loan and (B) sent a “Trust Receipt” (as defined in the Custodial Agreement) to the Administrative Agent for each such Eligible Medallion Loan included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base, or (2) such Eligible Medallion Loan is a Wet Loan and the Borrower has acquired such Wet Loan, (v) attach a “Wet Loan Schedule” (as defined in the Servicing Agreement) as of the requested Funding Date, and (vi) contain (by attachment) such other information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents or the Lenders from time to time.

(b) Conduit Lender Acceptance or Rejection.

(i) If a Conduit Lender shall receive a Notice of Borrowing and Pledge from its related Managing Agent, such Conduit Lender shall instruct its related Managing Agent to accept or reject such request by no later than the close of business on the Business Day of the applicable Notice of Borrowing and Pledge. If a Conduit Lender rejects a Notice of Borrowing and Pledge, the related Managing Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the related Committed Lenders of such rejection. At no time will a Conduit Lender be obligated to make Advances hereunder regardless of any notice given or not given pursuant to this Section.

(ii) It is expected that the Conduit Lenders will (but there will be no obligation to) accept requests to make Advances in the ordinary of course of business and will fund such Advances substantially through the issuance of Promissory Notes.

(i) If a Conduit Lender rejects a Notice of Borrowing and Pledge, any Advance requested by the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing and Pledge that would otherwise be made by such Conduit Lender shall be made by the related Committed Lenders in its Lender Group on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of such Advance.

(ii) The obligations of any Committed Lender to make Advances hereunder are several from the obligations of any other Committed Lenders (whether or not in the same Lender Group). The failure of any Committed Lender to make Loans hereunder shall not release the obligations of any other Committed Lender (whether or not in the same Lender Group) to make Advances hereunder, but no Committed Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Committed Lender to make any Advance hereunder.

-27-

(iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Committed Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Advance at any time on or after the Termination Date or if, after giving effect to such Advance, the aggregate outstanding Advances funded by such Committed Lender hereunder would exceed an amount equal to (i) such Committed Lender’s Commitment less (ii) such Committed Lender’s ratable share of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Advances held by the Conduit Lender(s) in such Committed Lender’s Lender Group.

(d) Disbursement of Funds.

(i) On each Funding Date before the Term Period Commencement Date, each applicable Lender shall remit its share of the aggregate amount of the Advances requested by the Borrower to the account of its related Managing Agent specified therefor to such Lender by wire transfer of same day funds. Upon receipt of such funds, each Managing Agent shall remit such funds by wire transfer of same day funds to the account of the Borrower specified in the related Notice of Borrowing and Pledge to the extent it has received such funds from the Lenders in its Lender Group.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article II, during the Term Period, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in the final sentence of Section 2.03(a), the Administrative Agent shall wire (or otherwise transfer in immediately available funds) on the applicable Funding Date to the Borrower by remitting to the Borrower such requested disbursement from the Collateral Advance Account solely out of the funds available therefor in the Collateral Advance Account. No disbursement from the Collateral Advance Account shall be made to the Borrower to the extent that, after giving effect to such disbursement, the Term Period Outstandings would exceed the Borrowing Base.

Section 2.04 Delivery of Medallion Loan Files. With respect to any Medallion Loan, the Borrower shall deliver to the Custodian the related Medallion Loan File in the manner set forth in Section 2 of the Custodial Agreement.

Section 2.05 Repayment of Advances; Interest.

(a) The Borrower hereby promises to repay in full on the Termination Date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances.

(b) The Borrower hereby promises to pay the fees payable under each Fee Letter on the dates specified in each such Fee Letter.

(c) The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Managing Agents for the benefit of the Lenders in such Managing Agent’s Lender Group interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance for the period from and including the Funding Date of such Advance to but excluding the date such Advance shall be paid in full, at a rate per annum for each day during

-28-

each Interest Period equal to the Interest Rate applicable to such Advance; calculated such that interest shall accrue each day on the outstanding principal amount of all Advances as of 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower hereby promises to pay interest at the Default Rate on any principal of any Advance and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents that shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or by mandatory prepayment or otherwise) for the period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full. Accrued interest on each Advance shall be payable on each Weekly Payment Date and the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accruing at the Default Rate shall be payable to the Managing Agents, for the benefit of the Lenders in its Lender Group, on demand. On the Business Day immediately preceding each Weekly Payment Date, each Managing Agent shall calculate the aggregate amount of interest for the Lenders in such Managing Agent’s Lender Group with respect to the then most recently ended Interest Period and shall notify Borrower of (i) such aggregate amount and (ii) the applicable Interest Rates used in the calculation of such aggregate amount.

(d) Interest on the Advances shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower of each determination of a Adjusted LIBO Rate. Any change in the interest rate on an Advance resulting from a change in the eurocurrency reserve requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(e) Each determination of an interest rate by any Lender or Managing Agent pursuant to any provision of this Loan Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender or Managing Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by such Lender or Managing Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.05.

(f) Unless otherwise specified herein, all amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower hereunder shall be paid or deposited no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to any account specified in writing to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender, as applicable.

(g) All amounts to be paid hereunder shall be paid in Dollars.

Section 2.06 Illegality LIBO Rate Inadequate; Inability to Determine LIBO Rate.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Agreement, if the adoption of or any change in any law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any relevant Governmental Authority shall make it unlawful for any Lender, in its reasonable determination, to fund or maintain Advances for which Interest is calculated by reference to the LIBO Rate (each a “LIBOR Advances”) as contemplated by this Loan Agreement or to obtain in the interbank eurodollar market the funds with which to make or maintain any such LIBOR

-29-

Advance, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, its Managing Agent and the Borrower thereof whereupon, until such Lender notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligation of such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Advances shall forthwith be suspended, (ii) such Lender’s then outstanding LIBOR Advances, if any, shall be converted into Advances that accrue Interest based on the Base Rate (each a “Base Rate Advances”) and (iii) if any Notice of Borrowing and Pledge requests a LIBOR Advance, the portion of such Advance to be funded by such Lender shall be made as a Base Rate Advance.

(b) If (i) any Lender reasonably determines that the rate at which deposits of Dollars are being offered to such Lender in the London interbank market does not accurately reflect the cost to such Lender of funding or maintaining LIBOR Advances or (ii) the related Lender is unable, after reasonable attempts, to obtain Dollars in the London interbank market to fund or maintain such Interest Period, then such Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower, its Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until such Lender notifies the Borrower, its Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (A) the obligations of the such Lender to make LIBOR Advances or to continue or convert outstanding Advances as or into LIBOR Advances shall be suspended, (B) each outstanding LIBOR Advances funded by such Lender shall be converted into a Base Rate Advance on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (C) if any Notice of Borrowing and Pledge requests a LIBOR Advance, the portion of such Advance to be funded by such Lender shall be made as a Base Rate Advance.

Section 2.07 Determination of Borrowing Base; Mandatory Prepayments or Pledge; Rapid Amortization Events.

(a) On or before each Borrowing Base Certificate Date, the Borrower shall cause the Servicer to deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent a Borrowing Base Certificate as of the last day of such prior month, certified as complete and correct by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any calculations set forth in any Borrowing Base Certificate which require the LIBO Rate or Swap Rate in the determination thereof shall be determined based upon the LIBO Rate and Swap Rate in effect on the first day of the Interest Period during which such Borrowing Base Certificate is required to be delivered hereunder.

(b) If at any time the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Advances (or, during the Term Period, the Term Period Outstandings) exceeds the Borrowing Base, including, without limitation, as the result of any Medallion Loan ceasing to be an Eligible Medallion Loan (a “Borrowing Base Deficiency”) the Borrower shall no later than 12:00 (noon) New York City time on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately succeeding the discovery of such Borrowing Base Deficiency (i) prepay the outstanding principal amount of Advances (or, during the Term Period, the Term Period Outstandings) in part or in whole, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, and other costs relating to such prepayment under this Loan Agreement payable by the Borrower with respect to, the principal amount prepaid, or (ii) pledge additional Eligible Medallion Loans to the Administrative Agent, such that after giving effect to such prepayment or pledge the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances (or, during the Term Period, the Term Period Outstandings) does not exceed the Borrowing Base.

-30-

(c) If at any time, the Weighted Average Loan-To-Value Ratio (as defined below) multiplied by the then-applicable Credit Advance Rate for Class A Medallion Loans (the “Combined Loan-To-Value Ratio”) exceeds 80% (a “CLTV Rapid Amortization Event”), the Servicer or the Borrower shall so notify the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent immediately following the discovery of such CLTV Rapid Amortization Event. From and after the occurrence of a CLTV Rapid Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent may, by notice to the Borrower and the Servicer, direct that all Collections be applied to the payment of accrued but unpaid interest on the Advances (or, during the Term Period, the Term Period Outstandings) and the repayment of principal of the Advances (or, during the Term Period, the Term Period Outstandings) until, after giving effect to such repayments and any change in the Weighted Average Loan-to-Value Ratio (including as a result of the pledge of additional Eligible Medallion Loans to the Lender), the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio is 75% or lower. The “Weighted Average Loan-To-Value Ratio” shall be computed as the decimal equivalent of a fraction by multiplying the Net Principal Balance and accrued interest of each Medallion Loan by the Loan-To-Value Ratio of such Medallion Loan, and dividing the sum of such numbers by the total outstanding principal and accrued interest on all Medallion Loans.

(d) If the two month rolling average Discount Spread reported in any Borrowing Base Certificate shall exceed 2.5% (a “Discount Spread Rapid Amortization Event”), the Servicer or the Borrower shall so notify the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent immediately following the discovery of such Discount Spread Rapid Amortization Event. From and after the occurrence of any Discount Spread Rapid Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent may, by notice to the Borrower and the Servicer, direct that all Collections be applied to the payment of accrued but unpaid interest on the Advances (or, during the Term Period, the Term Period Outstandings) and the repayment of principal of the Advances (or, during the Term Period, the Term Period Outstandings). Any Discount Spread Rapid Amortization Event shall continue until the two month rolling average Discount Spread reported in any Borrowing Base Certificate delivered after the occurrence of such Discount Spread Rapid Amortization Event shall be 1.0% or less.

Section 2.08 Optional Prepayments; Release of Medallion Loans upon Repayment.

(a) Subject to Section 2.15 hereto, the Borrower may prepay, in whole or in part, Advances at any time without premium or penalty. Any amounts prepaid shall be applied to repay the outstanding principal amount of any Advances until paid in full and shall be accompanied by repayment of accrued and unpaid interest on the amount. Amounts repaid may be reborrowed in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement. If the Borrower intends to prepay an Advance in whole or in part from any source, the Borrower shall give one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent, specifying the date (such date, a “Partial Payment Date”) and amount of prepayment, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 hereunder. If such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $500,000 or a whole multiple in excess thereof and shall be applied ratably among the Lenders to reduce the principal amount of the Advances held by the Lenders.

-31-

(b) With respect to any Advance, the Borrower may obtain the release of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in one or more Medallion Loans securing such Advance, pursuant to Section 4.10, by (i) transferring to the Administrative Agent the Release Price therefor on the date of such repayment or (ii) pledging to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties additional Eligible Medallion Loans having a Collateral Value at least equal to the Collateral Value of the Medallion Loan(s) to be released; provided, however, that a release pursuant to this Section 2.08(b) shall be available only if, after giving effect thereto (including the application of the proceeds thereof or the grant of the security interest in the additional Eligible Medallion Loans), there shall not exist a Default or Rapid Amortization Event. Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.08(a) shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Managing Agents based upon each Managing Agent’s Lender Group Percentage. Any amounts distributed to any Managing Agent shall be distributed by such Managing Agent to the Lenders in such Managing Agent’s Lender Group to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Advances.

Section 2.09 Interest Protection; Increased Capital, etc.

(a) Interest Protection.

(i) If due to either: (a) the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation by any Governmental Authority of any law or regulation (other than laws or regulations relating to taxes) after the date hereof or (b) the compliance by any Lender or any Liquidity Provider with any directive or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) imposed after the date hereof, (1) there shall be an increase in the cost to such Lender or such Liquidity Provider of funding or maintaining any Advance which accrues interest based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate hereunder or of extending a commitment in respect thereof which such Lender deems to be material, or (2) such Lender or such Liquidity Provider shall be required to make a payment calculated by reference to any Advance which accrues interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the CP Rate funded by it or Interest received by it, then the Borrower shall, from time to time, within thirty (30) days after demand by the related Managing Agent, pay such Managing Agent for the account of such Lender or such Liquidity Provider (as a third party beneficiary, in the case of any Affected Party other than one of the Lenders), that portion of such increased costs incurred, amounts not received or required payment made or to be made, which such Managing Agent reasonably determines is attributable to funding and maintaining, or extending a commitment to fund, any Advance which accrues interest based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate hereunder or pursuant to any Asset Purchase Agreement or similar liquidity facility.

-32-

compensation, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The applicable Lender or Liquidity Provider (or such party’s related Managing Agent) shall submit to the Borrower a certificate describing such increased costs incurred, amounts not received or receivable or required payment made or to be made, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(b) Increased Capital.

(i) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation by any Official Body of any law or regulation or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any directive or request from any central bank or other Official Body (whether or not having the force of law) imposed after the date hereof affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Party or such Affected Party reasonably determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any Lender’s agreement to make or maintain Loans hereunder and other similar agreements or facilities and such event would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Affected Party by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then, within thirty (30) days after demand by such Affected Party or the related Managing Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party (as a third party beneficiary, in the case of any Affected Party other than one of the Lenders) or the related Managing Agent for the account of such Affected Party from time to time, as specified by such Affected Party or such Managing Agent, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party in light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Party or such Managing Agent on behalf of such Affected Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be attributable to the existence of the applicable Lender’s agreements hereunder.

(ii) Each Managing Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle any Lender or Affected Party in its Lender Group to compensation pursuant to Section 2.09. In determining the amount of such compensation, such Lender or Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The applicable Lender or Affected Party (or such party’s related Managing Agent) shall submit to the Borrower a certificate describing such compensation, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.10 Purpose of Advances. The Advances may only be used by the Borrower to purchase additional Medallion Loans that are pledged to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties.

Section 2.11 Taxes.

(a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Loan Agreement and the Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If the Borrower

-33-

shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Loan Agreement to the Lenders, (i) the Borrower shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with the applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after the Borrower has made all required deductions and withholdings such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Loan Agreement “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of each Lender, Taxes that are measured by or imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender is organized or of its Applicable Lending Office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of such Lender or such Agent having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Loan Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).

(b) The Borrower shall not be required to increase any amounts payable under Section 2.11(a) to any Lender that is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof if any Lender fails to comply with the requirements of clause (c) of this Section. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the applicable Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify such Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement and the payment of the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(c) If any Lender (or transferee that acquires a interest hereunder in accordance with Section 10.14 hereof) is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “US Person”)) for United States federal income tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”), such Non-US Lender shall deliver or caused to be delivered to the Borrower and the Servicer the following properly completed and duly executed documents:

(1) two complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Forms W-8BEN (or any successor form thereto) with respect to an income tax treaty providing for a zero rate of withholding tax on interest, or (y) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI (or any successor form thereto); or

(2) two complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN (or any successor form thereto), including all appropriate attachments, documenting the status of such Lender (or transferee) as a Non-U.S. Lender and (y) a Certificate in the form of Exhibit I hereto.

-34-

Such documents shall be delivered by each Lender (or transferee) on or before the date it becomes a party to this Loan Agreement (or, in the case of a transferee or assignee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Lender (or transferee) changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office. In addition, each Lender (or transferee) shall deliver or cause to be delivered such forms and/or certificates promptly upon or before the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any document previously delivered by such Lender (or transferee). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.11(c), a Lender (or transferee) shall not be required to deliver any document pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) that such Lender (or Transferee) is not legally able to deliver; provided, however, that if the Lender (or transferee) is not legally able to deliver such documents on or prior to the date specified in the second preceding sentence, the Borrower shall not be required to increase any amounts payable under Section 2.11(a) to such Lender (or transferee).

Section 2.12 Increases and Reductions in the Commitments.

(a) The Borrower may, from time to time upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to each Managing Agent, elect to reduce the Commitments of the Committed Lenders in whole or in part, provided that after giving effect to any such reduction and any principal payments on such date pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, the aggregate principal balance of the Advances shall not exceed the Maximum Committed Credit. Any such reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(a) The Borrower may, no more frequently than once each year by delivering written notice to the Managing Agents, request the Lenders to extend the Commitment Termination Date for a period of up to an additional 364 days past the then applicable Commitment Termination Date, with such extension to become effective as of the date one or more Committed Lenders having Commitments equal to 100% of the Maximum Committed Credit shall in their sole discretion consent to such extension. Any such request shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) at no time will any Commitment have a term of more than 364 days and, if any such request would result in a term of more than 364 days, such request shall be deemed to have been made for such number of days so that, after giving effect to such extension on the date requested, such term will not exceed 364 days, (ii) none of the Lenders will have any obligation to extend any Commitment, and (iii) any request for such extension shall be made not more than 45 nor less than 30 days prior to the then current Commitment Termination Date. The Managing Agent for each applicable Committed Lender will respond to any such request within thirty (30) days but in any event no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the then current Commitment Termination Date, provided, that any Managing Agent’s failure to respond within such period shall be deemed to be a rejection of the requested extension.

(b) If any Committed Lender (other than Citibank, N.A. or any Affiliate thereof) does not consent to any extension of the Commitment Termination Date requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14(a) hereof, the Borrower may, upon notice to such Committed Lender, such Committed Lender’s Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent, require such Committed Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse all its interests, rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Committed Lender, if a Committed Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Committed Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) such assignment shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

-36-

(c) If any Committed Lender (other than Citibank, N.A. or any Affiliate thereof) does not consent to any extension of the Commitment Termination Date requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14(a) hereof, the Borrower may, upon notice to such Committed Lender, such Committed Lender’s Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent, (i) repay all Secured Obligations owing to such Committed Lender, (ii) repay such Committed Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all Advances held by such Committed Lender’s related Conduit Lender, (iii) reduce the Maximum Committed Credit by an amount equal to such Committed Lender’s Commitment and (iv) reduce such Committed Lender’s related Conduit Lender’s Conduit Lending Limit by an amount equal to such Committed Lender’s Commitment. From and after any repayment and corresponding reduction in the Maximum Committed Credit as contemplated by the foregoing sentence, such non-extending Committed Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder.

In the event that any Liquidity Provider or any Lender shall incur any loss, expense or Breakage Costs (including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Liquidity Provider or Lender in order to fund or maintain any Advances or interest therein) as a result of any Advances not being made in accordance with a request therefor under Section 2.03, then, upon demand from the related Managing Agent to Borrower, Borrower shall pay to such Managing Agent for the account of such Liquidity Provider or Lender, the amount of such loss, expense or Breakage Costs. Such written notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon Borrower. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement and the payment of the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 2.16 Collateral Advance Account.

(a) On or prior to the Term Period Commencement Date, the Borrower, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall establish and maintain or cause to be established and maintained in the name of the Administrative Agent with an Eligible Institution (which shall initially be the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent) an account (such account being the “Collateral Advance Account” and such institution holding such account being the “Collateral Advance Account Bank”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Secured Parties and entitled “Citicorp North America, Inc., as Administrative Agent — Collateral Advance Account for the Taxi Medallion Loan Trust II Loan and Security Agreement.” The Collateral Advance Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to an account control agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and neither the Borrower, nor any Person claiming by, through or under the Borrower, shall have any right, title or interest in, or any right to withdraw any amount from, the Collateral Advance Account.

(b) Funds on deposit in the Collateral Advance Account shall, at the written direction of the Borrower, be invested by the Collateral Advance Account Bank in Eligible

-37-

Investments as instructed by the Borrower in writing (which may be a standing instruction). All such Eligible Investments shall be held in the Collateral Advance Account by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Committed Lenders. Such funds shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that funds will be available in amounts sufficient for the Administrative Agent to make each distribution as and when required under the terms of this Loan Agreement.

(c) If, at any time, the institution with which the Collateral Advance Account is maintained ceases to be an Eligible Institution, (A) the Administrative Agent, upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof, shall, within five Business Days from obtaining such knowledge or, if earlier, from notice to such effect by the Administrative Agent, establish a new Collateral Advance Account meeting the conditions specified above with an Eligible Institution, and transfer any cash and/or any financial assets held in the old Collateral Advance Account to such new Collateral Advance Account, and (B) the Borrower shall execute and deliver, and cause such new Collateral Advance Account Bank to deliver, an account control agreement with respect to the new Collateral Advance Account that is in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. In the event that the Administrative Agent elects (or is directed) to take any action described in this Section 4.07, the Borrower further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Borrower’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent arising out of the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. The Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon as contemplated pursuant to Section 2.05(b) hereof) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations, including the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency.

Section 4.08 Limitation on Duties Regarding Presentation of Collateral. The Administrative Agent’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Borrower or otherwise.

The Borrower, each Lender, each Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent each hereby agrees that it will not institute against any Conduit Lender any insolvency proceeding (namely, any proceeding of the type referred to in the definition of Bankruptcy Event) so long as any Promissory Notes shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such Promissory Notes shall have been outstanding. The provisions of this Section 10.17 shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement.

Section 10.18 Limitation of Liability.

(a) No claim may be made by any Related Party, any Lender, any Managing Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Person against any Related Party, any Lender, any Managing Agent, the Administrative Agent or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents (each a “Lender Party”) for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith; and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligations of the Conduit Lenders under this Loan Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of each such Conduit Lender and shall be payable only at such time as funds are actually received by, or are available to, such Conduit Lender in excess of funds necessary to pay in full all outstanding

-71-

Promissory Notes issued by such Conduit Lender and, to the extent funds are not available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against such Conduit Lender. Each party hereto agrees that the payment of any claim (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) of any such party shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all Promissory Notes. No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of any Conduit Lender contained in this Loan Agreement shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of such Conduit Lender or any of its Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Loan Agreement is solely a corporate obligation of such Conduit Lender, and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of any Conduit Lender or any of its Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) or any of them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of such Conduit Lender contained in this Loan Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by any Conduit Lender of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common law or at equity, or by statute, rule or regulation, of every such incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Loan Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not relieve any such Person from any liability it might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions taken or fraudulent omissions made by them.

Each Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates may engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Obligor, any of their respective Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of Borrower or any Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if such Persons were not Managing Agents and/or Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to any Lender.

Section 11.06 Indemnification. Each Managing Agent severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to its related Lender Group Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Loan Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Loan Agreement; provided, that (i) no Managing Agent shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting or arising from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and (ii) no Managing Agent shall be liable for any amount in respect of any compromise or settlement of any of the foregoing unless such compromise or settlement is approved by the Majority Managing Agents.

Section 11.07 Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower, each Lender and each other party hereto, resign as Administrative Agent or Managing Agent, as applicable. If any such party shall resign as Administrative Agent or Managing Agent under this Loan Agreement, then, in the case of the Administrative Agent, the Majority Committed Lenders and the Borrower, and in the case of any Managing Agent, its related Conduit Lenders, during such thirty-day period shall appoint a successor agent, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent or applicable Managing Agent and references herein to the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its appointment; and such former Administrative Agent’s or Managing Agent’s rights, powers and duties in such capacity shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or Managing Agent or any of the parties to this Loan Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Managing Agent’s resignation hereunder as such agent, the provisions of Article VIII, this Article IX and Section 10.09 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or a Managing Agent under this Loan Agreement.
