(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at no time shall (x) any Multicurrency Lender have any obligation to fund any Eligible Currency Loan in any currency other than Euros, GBPs, CADs or Dollars or any Eligible Currency Loan in any currency other than the Eligible Currency or (y) any Dollar Lender have any obligation to fund any Loan in an Eligible Currency other than Dollars.

Section 2.3 Notes. The Borrower shall, upon request of any Lender Group, on or after such Lender Group becomes a party hereto (whether on the Effective Date or by assignment or otherwise), execute and deliver a Note evidencing the Loans of such Lender Group. Each such Note shall be payable to the order of the Lender Agent for such Lender Group in a face amount equal to the applicable Lender Group’s Commitment as of the Effective Date or the effective

-61-

date on which such Lender Group becomes a party hereto, as applicable. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender Agent to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to the Notes (or on any continuation of such grid, or at the option of such Lender Agent, in its records), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of the outstanding principal of the Loans evidenced thereby and each payment of principal thereon. Such notations shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the subject matter thereof absent manifest error; provided, that the failure to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the Obligations or any payment thereon.

Section 2.4 Repayment, Prepayments and Conversion. (a) The Borrower shall repay the Revolving Loans outstanding (i) on each Distribution Date to the extent required to be repaid hereunder and funds are available therefor pursuant to Section 8.3, (ii) in full on the Facility Termination Date and (iii) to cure any Borrowing Base Deficiency pursuant to Section 8.3.

(b) Prior to the Facility Termination Date, the Borrower may, from time to time, make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount of any Revolving Loan using Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Account or other funds available to the Borrower on such date; provided, that

(i) all such voluntary prepayments shall require prior written notice to the Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and each Lender Agent) by 11:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day prior to such voluntary prepayment;

(ii) all such voluntary partial prepayments shall be in a minimum amount of 1,000,000 CADs, $1,000,000, 1,000,000 Euros or 1,000,000 GBPs; and

(iii) each prepayment shall be applied on the Business Day received by the Collateral Agent if received by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day by the Collateral Agent as Amount Available constituting Principal Collections pursuant to Section 8.3(a) as if (x) the date of such prepayment were a Distribution Date and (y) such prepayment occurred during the Collection Period to which such Distribution Date relates.

Each such prepayment shall be subject to the payment of any amounts required by Section 2.5(b) as well as any actually-incurred breakage costs (if any) resulting from a prepayment or payment.

(c) Conversion of Revolving Loans to Term Loans.

(i) At any time during the Revolving Period, any Revolving Lender may request (with notice to the Borrower and the Servicer) that any portion (such portion, the “Requested Conversion Portion”) of the outstanding Revolving Loans be converted to a Term Loan equal to such Requested Conversion Portion subject to prior written consent of the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.4(c)(ii).

(ii) If, on a proposed Conversion Date, the Borrower has given its prior written consent to conversion of the Requested Conversion Portion into a Term Loan as of such Conversion Date (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be withheld by the Borrower in its sole and absolute discretion), then, on such

-62-

Conversion Date, (A) the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loans shall be reduced by the Requested Conversion Portion and the amount of such reduction shall be converted into a Term Loan equal to such Requested Conversion Portion and (B) the Revolving Commitments of such Lender shall be permanently reduced by such Requested Conversion Portion.

(iii) For all purposes hereunder, the Revolving Loans converted on each Conversion Date shall, as of such date, constitute and be referred to and treated for all purposes as a Term Loan hereunder. Any converting Lender and the Borrower shall cooperate to evidence the repayment and cancellation of any related Note evidencing such Lender’s Revolving Loans (or portion thereof) being converted into a Term Loan.

(d) Conversion of Term Loans to Revolving Loans. At any time during the Revolving Period, any Term Lender that is an Affiliate of the Agent (or is the Agent itself) may convert (with notice to the Borrower and the Servicer) any portion of a Term Loan to a Revolving Loan.

Section 2.5 Permanent Reduction of Facility Amount. (a) The Borrower may at any time upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent, each Lender Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator (or such shorter period as the Agent may agree), permanently reduce the Facility Amount (i) in whole upon payment in full (in accordance with Section 2.4) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans or (ii) subject to Section 2.5(d), in part by any pro rata amount that the Facility Amount exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans (after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment thereof). In connection with any permanent reduction of the Facility Amount under this Section 2.5(a), the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall automatically, and without any further action by any party, be reduced pro rata with all other Revolving Lenders such that the sum of all Revolving Commitments, taken together with the Term Loans, will equal the newly reduced Facility Amount.

(b) The Borrower may upon at least two Business Days’ notice (which notice shall contain a certificate of an authorized officer of the Borrower certifying as to the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.5(b) with respect to such proposed prepayment) to the Agent, prepay all or any portion of the Loans then outstanding by paying to the Collateral Agent for the account of the Lenders the principal amount to be prepaid (from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account constituting Principal Collections) together with accrued interest (including any accrued and unpaid interest amounts) and Commitment Fees, if applicable, thereon to the date of prepayment (from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account constituting Interest Collections); provided that any prepayments of Loans made pursuant to this clause shall (y) be allocated between the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans based on, with respect to principal, the Principal Allocation Formula, and with respect to interest and any other payments on a pro rata basis and (x) result in the reduction and termination, of the Revolving Commitments and Term Commitments on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

-63-

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower may permanently reduce the Facility Amount at any time, provided that if such reduction occurs at any time other than those specified in Section 2.5(a), or (b), it shall, unless a Prepayment Fee Termination Event has occurred on or prior to such date, pay the applicable Prepayment Fee and breakage costs actually incurred by the Lender in connection with such prepayment to the Collateral Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders.

(d) In connection with any prepayment or cancellation of Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.5, any Lender that is an Affiliate of the Agent (or is itself the Agent) shall purchase a Term Loan pro rata at par in order to maintain its current percentage of the aggregate amount of the existing Commitments after giving effect to such prepayment or cancellation (such purchases and sales of Term Loans being a “Rebalancing”). In connection with any Rebalancing, each Term Lender shall sell its pro rata portion of such Term Loan to the Lender that is an Affiliate of the Agent (or is itself the Agent). To the extent that such a Rebalancing occurs and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Prepayment Fees shall be payable to the Term Lender which sold a Term Loan to any Lender that is an Affiliate of the Agent (or is itself the Agent).

Section 2.6 Extension of Revolving Period. The Borrower may, at any time commencing with the date that is six (6) months prior to the last date of the Revolving Period and ending on the date that is immediately prior to the date that is 45 days prior to the last date of the Revolving Period (or, in each case, such other period as the Agent may agree), deliver a written notice to each Lender Agent (with a copy to the Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Agent) requesting an extension of the Revolving Period for an additional twelve months (each qualifying request, an “Extension Request”). Each Extension Request shall be deemed to constitute a corresponding request to extend the Facility Termination Date for the same length of time. Each Lender may approve or decline an Extension Request in its sole discretion; provided, that the Lenders shall respond to an Extension Request in writing not later than 30 days following receipt of such Extension Request, and if any Lender does not respond in writing by the end of such 30 day period it shall be deemed to have denied such Extension Request. No request by the Borrower to extend the Revolving Period (and hence the Facility Termination Date) shall be considered an “Extension Request” if such request is conditioned on an amendment to any other provision of the Transaction Documents.

Section 2.7 Change in Advance Rate. The Advance Rate previously assigned by the Agent to any Eligible Collateral Obligation shall not change, except upon the following events:

(A) during the Revolving Period, if the Diversity Score equals to or is lower than 8 at funding of an Eligible Collateral Obligation and subsequently exceeds 8, as long as (i) the Borrower notifies the Agent of such increase of Diversity Score and (ii) the Borrower notifies the Agent that no Evaluation Event has occurred relating to such Eligible Collateral Obligation, the Advance Rate applicable to such Eligible Collateral Obligation shall be revised upward pursuant to the guidelines set forth in the definition of Advance Rate; or

(B) if the Diversity Score is higher than 8 at funding of an Eligible Collateral Obligation and subsequently during the Revolving Period decreases to be equal to or lower than 8, upon notice from the Agent to the Borrower, the Agent may revise the Advance Rate applicable to such Eligible Collateral Obligation lower pursuant to the guidelines set forth in the definition of Advance Rate; or

-64-

(C) except as set forth in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), if no Evaluation Event occurs with respect to an Eligible Collateral Obligation, the Advance Rate for such Eligible Collateral Obligation shall be the Advance Rate assigned to such Eligible Collateral Obligation as of the related Acquisition Date; or

(D) if an Evaluation Event occurs with respect to an Eligible Collateral Obligation, the Agent shall have the right to adjust the Advance Rate for such Eligible Collateral Obligation in accordance with the following; provided that, after giving effect to any such adjustment, the Advance Rate shall not exceed the Advance Rate applicable to such Eligible Collateral Obligation immediately prior to such Evaluation Event:

(x) if an Eligible Collateral Obligation is a Broadly Syndicated Loan and an Evaluation Event occurs with respect to such Collateral Obligation, then the Agent may revise the Advance Rate applicable to such Eligible Collateral Obligation to equal the Revised BSL Advance Rate;

(y) if an Eligible Collateral Obligation is not a Broadly Syndicated Loan and an Evaluation Event set forth in clause (d) or (f) of the definition thereof occurs with respect to such Collateral Obligation, then the Agent may revise the Advance Rate applicable to such Eligible Collateral Obligation to equal the Revised MML Advance Rate;

(z) if an Eligible Collateral Obligation is not a Broadly Syndicated Loan and an Evaluation Event set forth in clause (a), (b), (c) or (e) of the definition thereof occurs with respect to such Collateral Obligation, then the Agent may adjust the Advance Rate of such Collateral Obligation in its reasonable discretion; provided that, in the case of an Evaluation Event set forth in clause (b), Agent shall consult in good faith with the Borrower prior to effecting any such adjustment of the Advance Rate.

Section 2.8 Increase in Facility Amount. The Borrower may, with the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent may be conditioned on one or more conditions precedent in its sole discretion), (i) increase the Commitment of the existing Lender Groups (pro rata) with the consent of each such Lender Group, (ii) add additional Lender Groups and/or (iii) increase the Commitment of any Lender Group with the consent of such Lender Group, in each case which shall increase the Facility Amount by the amount of the increased or new Commitment of each such existing or additional Lender Group.

Section 2.9 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Collateral Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be

-65-

determined by the Agent and with written instruction to the Collateral Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists (except to the extent caused by such Defaulting Lender, as determined by the Agent in its sole discretion)), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third, if so determined by the Agent or the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund future Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the other 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, so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists (except to the extent caused by such Defaulting Lender, as determined by the Agent in its sole discretion), to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender. 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 or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto; and

(ii) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Daily Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and under no circumstance shall Borrower retroactively be or become required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(b) If the Agent and the Borrower determine in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of Loans outstanding of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that 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.

Section 3.1 Interest. (a) The Borrower hereby promises to pay, on the dates specified in Section 3.2, Interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan (or each portion thereof) for the period commencing on the applicable Loan Date until such Loan is paid in full. No provision of this Agreement or the Notes shall require the payment or permit the collection of Interest in excess of the maximum permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 3.2 Interest Distribution Dates. Interest accrued on each Loan (including any previously accrued and unpaid Interest) shall be payable, without duplication:

(a) on the Facility Termination Date;

(c) on each Distribution Date.

Section 3.3 Interest Calculation. Each Note shall bear interest on each day during each Accrual Period at a rate per annum equal to the product of (a) the Interest Rate for such Accrual Period multiplied by (b) the outstanding Loans attributable to such Note on such day. All Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such Interest is payable over a year comprised of (x) with respect to Dollar Loans and Euro Loans, 360 days (other than Interest accruing by the reference rate set forth in clause (a) of the definition of Alternate Base Rate, which shall be computed over a year comprised of 365/366 days) and (y) with respect to GBP Loans and CAD Loans 365 days.

Payments in reduction of the principal amount of the Loans shall be allocated and applied to Lenders pro rata based on their respective portions of such Loans, or in any such case in such other proportions as each affected Lender may agree upon in writing from time to time with such Lender Agent and the Borrower. Payments of Interest shall be allocated and applied to Lenders pro rata based upon the respective amounts of interest and fees due and payable to them.

Section 4.3 Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.3) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, and its direct and indirect beneficial owners, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.3) payable or paid by such Recipient or such beneficial owners or required to be withheld or deducted from

-68-

a payment to such Recipient or such beneficial owners and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent and each Lender Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 15.5 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 Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this Section 4.3(d).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 4.3, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.3(f)(ii)(A), Section 4.3(f)(ii)(B) and Section 4.3(f)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

-69-

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower:

(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent) executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

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

(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

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

(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

-70-

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent) executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) 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 and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the 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 or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to (x) comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or (y) determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.3(f)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.3), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 4.3 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 4.3(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.3(g), in no event will the

-71-

indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 4.3(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 4.3(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall cause the Servicer to supply in a timely fashion any information maintained by it that the Collateral Administrator may from time to time request with respect to the Collateral Obligations and reasonably necessary to complete the reports and certificates required to be prepared by the Collateral Administrator hereunder or required to permit the Collateral Administrator to perform its obligations hereunder.

Section 7.8 Reserved.

Section 7.9 Procedural Review of Collateral Obligations; Access to Servicer and Servicer’s Records. (a) The Borrower shall, and shall cause the Servicer to, at the Borrower’s expense, permit representatives of the Agent at any time and from time to time as the Agent shall reasonably request (A) to inspect and make copies of and abstracts from its records relating to the Collateral Obligations, and (B) to visit its properties in connection with the collection, processing or managing of the Collateral Obligations for the purpose of examining such records, and to discuss matters relating to the Collateral Obligations or such Person’s performance under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents with any officer or employee or auditor (if any) of such Person having knowledge of such matters. The Borrower agrees, and will cause the Servicer, to render to the Agent such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard to the foregoing; provided, that such assistance shall not interfere in any material respect with the Servicer’s business and operations. So long as no Unmatured Event of Default, Event of Default, Unmatured Servicer Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such visits and inspections shall occur only (i) upon five Business Days’ prior written notice, (ii) during normal business hours and (iii) no more than twice in any calendar year. During the existence of an Unmatured Event of Default, an Event of Default, an Unmatured Servicer Event of Default or a Servicer Event of Default, there shall be no limit on the timing or number of such inspections and no prior notice will be required before any inspection.

(b) Without duplication of the other inspection or audit rights of the Agent set forth in this Section 7.9, the Borrower shall, and shall cause the Servicer to, at the Borrower’s expense and as applicable, provide to the Agent access to the documentation evidencing the Collateral Obligations and all other documents regarding the Collateral Obligations included as part of the Collateral and the Related Security in each case, in its possession, in such cases where the Agent is required in connection with the enforcement of the rights or interests of the Lenders, or by applicable statutes or regulations, to review such documentation, such access being afforded without charge but only (i) upon two Business Days’ prior written notice (so long as no Unmatured Event of Default, Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), (ii) during normal business hours and (iii) up

-87-

to twice per calendar year (so long as no Unmatured Event of Default, Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). From and after the Effective Date and periodically thereafter at the reasonable discretion of the Agent, the Agent may review the Borrower’s and the Servicer’s collection and administration of the Collateral Obligations in order to assess compliance by the Servicer with the Servicer’s written policies and procedures, as well as this Agreement and may, no more than twice in any calendar year (without duplication of the other inspection or audit rights of the Agent set forth in this Section 7.9), conduct an audit of the Collateral Obligations and Records in conjunction with such review.

(c) Nothing in this Section 7.9 shall derogate from the obligation of the Borrower and the Servicer to observe any Applicable Law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 7.9.

Section 7.10 Optional Sales. (a) The Borrower shall have the right to sell all or a portion of the Collateral Obligations (each, an “Optional Sale”), subject to the following terms and conditions:

(D) no Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default, Unmatured Servicer Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

provided, that, notwithstanding the above, the Borrower may make (i) any Optional Sale of any Collateral Obligation that, in the Servicer’s reasonable judgment, has a significant risk of declining in credit quality and, with the lapse of time, becoming a Defaulted Collateral Obligation, if after giving effect to such Optional Sale, (a) no Event of Default is continuing and (b) the aggregate Principal Balance of all such Collateral Obligations sold pursuant to this proviso in any twelve-month period does not exceed 20% of the Aggregate Eligible Collateral Obligation Amount in effect on the date of such sale, (ii) any Optional Sale of any Collateral Obligation if the sale price is equal to or greater than the Principal Balance of such Collateral Obligation or (iii) any Optional Sale the trade date of which was prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default, Unmatured Servicer Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default, and the settlement date of which is scheduled to occur on a date following such Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default, Unmatured Servicer Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default.

(iii) such Optional Sale shall be made by the Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower (A) in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (B) reflecting arm’s length market terms and (C) in a transaction in which the Borrower makes no representations, warranties or covenants and provides no indemnification for the benefit of any other party (other than those which are customarily made or provided in connection with the sale of assets of such type);

(iv) reserved;

(v) (A) the Principal Balance of all Equityholder Collateral Obligations (other than Warranty Collateral Obligations) sold or substituted pursuant to this Section 7.10 to the Equityholder or an Affiliate thereof shall not exceed 20% of the Equityholder Purchased Loan Balance measured as of the date of such sale or substitution, and (B) the Principal Balance of all Equityholder Collateral Obligations (other than Warranty Collateral Obligations) that are Defaulted Collateral Obligations sold or substituted pursuant to this Section 7.10 to the Equityholder or an Affiliate thereof shall not exceed 10% of the Equityholder Purchased Loan Balance measured as of the date of such sale or substitution; and

(vi) on the date of such Optional Sale, all proceeds from such Optional Sale, net of reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Optional Sale (x) will be deposited directly into the Collection Account and (y) with respect to any sold Collateral Obligation, will be in the same Eligible Currency as such Collateral Obligation.

(b) In connection with any Optional Sale, following deposit of all proceeds from such Optional Sale into the Collection Account, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to release and transfer to the Borrower (or the purchaser thereof from the Borrower) without recourse, representation or warranty all of the right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in, to and under such Collateral Obligation(s) and related Collateral subject to such Optional Sale and such portion of the Collateral so transferred shall be released from the Lien of this Agreement.

(c) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay the reasonable and documented outside counsel legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Custodian, each Lender Agent and each Lender in connection with any Optional Sale (including, but not limited to, expenses incurred in connection with the release of the Lien of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral in connection with such Optional Sale), in accordance with and subject to the limitations of Section 17.4.

-89-

(d) In connection with any Optional Sale, the Collateral Agent shall, at the sole expense of the Borrower, execute such instruments of release prepared by the Servicer with respect to the portion of the Collateral subject to such Optional Sale to the Borrower, in recordable form if necessary, as the Borrower, or the Servicer on its behalf, may reasonably request.

Section 7.11 Repurchase or Substitution of Warranty Collateral Obligations. In the event of a breach of Section 9.5, Section 9.13 or Section 9.26 with respect to a Collateral Obligation (or the Related Security and other related collateral constituting part of the Collateral related to such Collateral Obligation), in each case as of the related Acquisition Date (each such Collateral Obligation, a “Warranty Collateral Obligation”), no later than 30 days after the earlier of (x) knowledge of such breach on the part of the Equityholder or the Servicer and (y) receipt by the Equityholder or the Servicer of written notice thereof given by the Agent (with a copy to each Lender Agent), the Borrower shall either (a) repay Loans outstanding in the applicable Eligible Currency in an amount equal to the aggregate Repurchase Amount of such Warranty Collateral Obligation(s) to which such breach relates on the terms and conditions set forth below or (b) substitute for such Warranty Collateral Obligation one or more Eligible Collateral Obligations with an aggregate Collateral Obligation Amount at least equal to the Repurchase Amount of the Warranty Collateral Obligation(s) being replaced; provided, that no such repayment or substitution shall be required to be made with respect to any Warranty Collateral Obligation (and such Collateral Obligation shall cease to be a Warranty Collateral Obligation) if, on or before the expiration of such 30 day period either the representations and warranties in ARTICLE IX with respect to such Warranty Collateral Obligation shall be made true and correct in all material respects with respect to such Warranty Collateral Obligation as if such Warranty Collateral Obligation had become part of the Collateral on such day, as applicable. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Borrower to substitute any such Warranty Collateral Obligation is not intended to, and shall not, constitute a guaranty of the collectability or payment of any Collateral Obligation which is not collected, not paid, or uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or financial inability to pay of the related Obligor.

ARTICLE VIII

ACCOUNTS; PAYMENTS

Section 8.1 Accounts. (a) On or prior to the Effective Date, the Borrower shall establish each Account in the name of the Borrower and each Account shall be a segregated, non-interest bearing trust account established with the Securities Intermediary. Funds held in the Collection Account shall be applied by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.3 and the applicable Monthly Report. If at any time a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent obtains actual knowledge that any Account ceases to be an Eligible Account (with notice to the Servicer, the Agent and each Lender Agent), then the Borrower shall cause the Servicer to transfer such account to another institution such that such account shall meet the requirements of an Eligible Account.

Except as set forth below, amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account may be withdrawn at the written direction of the Borrower or at the written direction of the Servicer (i) to fund any draw requests of the relevant Obligors under any Variable Funding Asset, or (ii) to make a deposit into the Collection Account as Principal Collections if, after giving effect to such withdrawal, the aggregate amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is equal to or greater than the Aggregate Unfunded Amount.

-90-

Following the Facility Termination Date, the Borrower shall cause the Servicer to forward any draw request made by an Obligor under a Variable Funding Asset, along with wiring instructions for the applicable Obligor, to the Collateral Custodian (with a copy to the Agent and each Lender Agent) along with a written instruction to the Collateral Custodian to withdraw the applicable amount from the Unfunded Exposure Account and a certification that the conditions to fund such draw are satisfied, and the Collateral Custodian shall fund such draw request in accordance with such written instructions from the Servicer.

Following the end of the Revolving Period, if the Borrower shall receive any Principal Collections from an Obligor with respect to a Variable Funding Asset and, as of the date of such receipt (and after taking into account such repayment), the aggregate amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is less than the Aggregate Unfunded Amount (the amount of such shortfall, in each case, the “Unfunded Exposure Shortfall”), the Borrower shall cause the Servicer to in writing direct the Collateral Custodian to and the Collateral Custodian shall deposit into the Unfunded Exposure Account an amount of such Principal Collections equal to the lesser of (a) the aggregate amount of such Principal Collections and (b) the Unfunded Exposure Shortfall (such amount to be determined by the Servicer)

(b) All amounts held in any Account shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, be invested by the Collateral Custodian, as directed by the Servicer in writing (or, if the Servicer fails to provide such direction, such amounts shall remain uninvested), in Permitted Investments that mature with respect to the Collection Account, not later than one Business Day prior to the Distribution Date for the Collection Period to which such amounts relate. Any such written direction shall certify that any such investment is authorized by this Section 8.1. The Borrower, the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower and the Agent each agrees that it shall not give any instruction to invest such funds other than in accordance with, or subject to an exemption from, the European Retention Requirements. Investments in Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Collateral Custodian, and, except as specifically required below, such investments shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. If any amounts are needed for disbursement from the Collection Account and sufficient uninvested funds are not available therein to make such disbursement, the Collateral Custodian shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in such account to make such disbursement in accordance with and upon the written direction of the Servicer or, if the Servicer shall fail to give such direction, the Agent. The Collateral Custodian shall, upon written request, provide the Agent with all information in its possession regarding transfer into and out of the Collection Account (including, but not limited to, the identity of the counterparty making or receiving such transfer). In no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Custodian be liable for the selection of any investments or any losses in connection therewith, or for any failure of the Servicer or the Agent, as applicable, to timely provide investment instruction to the Collateral Custodian. The Collateral Agent or the Collateral Custodian and their respective Affiliates shall be permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Collateral Agent’s or the Collateral Custodian’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or

-91-

sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments, and (iii) effecting transactions in certain investments. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Neither the Borrower nor the Servicer shall have any rights of direction or withdrawal, with respect to amounts held in the Collection Account, except to the extent explicitly set forth in Section 8.1(a), Section 8.1(b), Section 8.2, Section 8.3(b) or Section 10.16.

Subject to the other provisions hereof, the Collateral Agent shall have sole Control (within the meaning of the UCC) over each Account and each such investment and the income thereon, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment, if any, shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent or its agent, together with each document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Collateral Agent in a manner that complies with this Section 8.1. All interest, dividends, gains upon sale and other income from, or earnings on, investments of funds in the Accounts shall be deposited or transferred to the Collection Account and distributed pursuant to Section 8.3(a).

(d) The Equityholder may, from time to time in its sole discretion (x) transfer to the Collateral Agent for deposit amounts into the Principal Collection Account and/or (y) transfer Eligible Collateral Obligations as equity contributions to the Borrower for deposit in the Custodial Account. All such amounts will be included in each applicable compliance calculation under this Agreement, including, without limitation, calculation of the Borrowing Base and the Collateral Quality Tests.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision of the Transaction Documents to the contrary, if any Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, then the Borrower may eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency in its entirety by effecting one or more (or any combination thereof) of the following actions: (A) deposit into or credit to the Collection Account cash and Permitted Investments, (B) repay Loans, (C) sell Collateral Obligations in accordance with Section 7.10, or (D) during the Reinvestment Period, pledge additional Collateral Obligations as Collateral.

Section 8.2 Excluded Amounts. The Borrower may cause the Servicer to direct the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary to withdraw from the applicable Account and pay to the Person entitled thereto any amounts credited thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Servicer has, prior to such withdrawal and consent, delivered to the Agent a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, which report shall include a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting such request and designate a date for the payment of such reimbursement, which date shall not be earlier than two (2) Business Days following delivery of such notice. Upon confirmation that the Agent has approved the report, the Servicer shall send such report to the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Agent.

Section 8.3 Distributions, Reinvestment and Dividends. (a) One Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Collateral Agent shall transfer from the Collection Account to the

-92-

Payment Account, solely in accordance with the applicable Monthly Report prepared by the Collateral Administrator and approved by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.5, the Amount Available for such Distribution Date.

-114-

Nothing in this Section 11.3(c)(i) shall be deemed to relieve the Borrower or the Servicer of their respective obligations to protect the interest of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral, including to file financing and continuation statements in respect of the Collateral in accordance with Section 10.1. It is understood and agreed that any and all actions performed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 11.3(c)(i) shall be at the written direction of the Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility or liability in connection with determining any actions necessary or desirable to perfect, protect or more fully secure the security interest granted by the Borrower hereunder or to enable any Person to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder.

Section 14.4 Reliance by Note Agents. Each Note Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to each of the Lenders), Independent Accountants and other experts selected by such Note Agent.

-134-

Section 14.6 Non-Reliance on Note Agents. The Lenders expressly acknowledge that no Note Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Note Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or the Servicer, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Note Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to each Note Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Note Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, and the Collateral Obligations and made its own decision to purchase its interest in the Notes hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Note Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under any of the Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, and the Collateral Obligations. Except as expressly provided herein, no Note Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the Collateral or the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer or the Lenders which may come into the possession of such Note Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

In no event shall any Note Agent be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits, even if such Note Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. In no event shall such Note Agent be 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, governmental action or the like which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 14.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Servicer under the Transaction Documents, and without limiting the obligation of such Persons to do so in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents), ratably according to the outstanding amounts of their Loans from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Agent or the affected Person in connection with any investigative, or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Agent or such affected Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent or such affected Person as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith.

-135-

Section 14.8 Successor Note Agent. The 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 Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its acceptance of such appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth in this Agreement. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (except, in each case, such discharge shall not extend to any liabilities of such Agent arising from or related to acts or omissions of such Agent prior to the Resignation Effective Date) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender Agent directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent (other than liabilities of such retiring or removed Agent arising from or related to acts or omissions of such Agent prior to such acceptance and other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent), and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents (except such discharge shall not extend to any liabilities of such retiring or removed Agent arising from or related to acts or omissions of such Agent prior to such acceptance). Any Lender Agent may resign as Lender Agent upon ten days’ notice to the Lenders in its Lender Group and the Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) with such resignation becoming effective upon a successor agent succeeding to the rights, powers and duties of the Lender Agent pursuant to this Section 14.8. If a Lender Agent shall resign as Lender Agent under this Agreement, then Lenders in its Lender Group holding greater than 50% of the outstanding Loans held by such Lender Group shall appoint a successor agent for such Lender Group. After any Note Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XIV shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Note Agent under this Agreement. No resignation of any Note Agent shall become effective until a successor Note Agent shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of such Note Agent hereunder; provided, that in the event a successor Note Agent is not appointed within 60 days after such notice of its resignation is given as permitted by this Section 14.8, the applicable Note Agent may petition a court for its removal.

-136-

Section 14.9 Note Agents in their Individual Capacity. Each Note Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or the Servicer as though such Note Agent were not a Lender Agent hereunder. Any Person which is a Note Agent may act as a Note Agent without regard to and without additional duties or liabilities arising from its role as such administrator or agent or arising from its acting in any such other capacity.

Section 14.10 Borrower Procedural Review. The Borrower shall, at the Borrower’s expense, retain Protiviti, Inc. or another nationally recognized audit firm acceptable to the Agent in its sole discretion to conduct and complete a procedural review of the Collateral Obligations in compliance with the standards set forth on Exhibit B hereto once every 12-month period at the request of the Agent. The Borrower shall promptly forward the results of such audit to the Servicer and the Agent.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 15.5 and subject to Section 15.4, (i) any Conduit Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its interest in, to and under any Loan, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to a collateral trustee (or similar security trustee) for its commercial paper program, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Agent; provided that, no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Conduit Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Conduit Lender as a party hereto.

(d) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a Lender Agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any obligations under any Transaction Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 16.1 Borrower Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Custodian, the Securities Intermediary and the Agent and their respective Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of one law firm for the Agent and Lenders, taken as a whole, and one law firm for the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Custodian, taken as a whole, plus any local counsel deemed appropriate by any such law firm) (all of the foregoing being collectively called “Indemnified Amounts”) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower of any kind or nature, which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in connection with (i) the execution, delivery and performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the enforcement of this Section 16.1), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (other than with respect to legal fees and disbursements incurred on or prior to the date hereof), including, without limitation any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent in

-141-

connection with any swap transaction with parties other than the Lender, or (ii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding brought or threatened whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, and regardless of whether such Indemnitee is designated a party thereto, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the Lender’s or the Agent’s activities in connection herewith or therewith or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of loans hereunder; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee. This Section 16.1 shall not apply to Taxes (other than Taxes that are damages, losses, claims and liabilities arising in connection with a non-Tax claim).

Section 16.2 Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan, or the use of the proceeds thereof.

Section 16.3 Contribution. If for any reason (other than the exclusions set forth in the first paragraph of Section 16.1) the indemnification provided above in Section 16.1 is unavailable to an Indemnitee or is insufficient to hold an Indemnitee harmless, then the Borrower agrees to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of such Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

Section 16.4 Net After-Tax Basis. Indemnification under Section 16.1 and Section 16.2 shall be in an amount necessary to make the Indemnitee whole after taking into account any Tax consequences, on a net after-Tax basis (including, for example, taking into account the deductibility of an applicable underlying damage, cost or expense) to the Indemnitee of the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder (or of the incurrence of such applicable underlying damage, cost or expense), including the effect of such Tax or refund on the amount of Tax measured by net income or profits that is or was payable by the Indemnitee.

ARTICLE XVII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 17.1 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender, the Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender Agent, any Indemnitee or any Affected Person to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy hereunder

-142-

preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower during the existence of an Event of Default, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by it to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower to the amounts owed by the Borrower under this Agreement, to the Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender Agent, any Affected Person, any Indemnitee or any Lender or their respective successors and assigns.

Section 17.2 Amendments, Waivers. (a) This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified nor may any provision hereof be waived except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 17.2. The Borrower and the Agent may, upon written notice to the Servicer and each Lender Agent, from time to time enter into written amendments, supplements, waivers or modifications hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or changing in any manner the rights of any party hereto or waiving, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement; provided, that no such amendment, supplement, waiver or modification shall (i) reduce the amount of or extend the maturity of any payment with respect to a Loan or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of Interest thereon, or reduce or alter the timing of any other amount payable to any Lender hereunder, in each case without the consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 17.2 or Section 17.11, or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders, (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision adversely affecting the obligations or duties of the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator, in each case without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision adversely affecting the obligations or duties of the Agent, in each case without the prior written consent of the Agent, (v) amend, modify or waive any provision adversely affecting the obligations or duties of the Collateral Custodian, in each case without the prior written consent of the Collateral Custodian, (vi) constitute a Fundamental Amendment without the prior written consent of each Lender, (vii) waive any Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default without the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders or (viii) materially affect the rights or duties of the Servicer unless the Servicer has consented thereto.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then:

(x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and

(y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m.

-143-

(New York City time) on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

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

(d) The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to Section 17.2 including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to Section 17.2.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of “LIBOR Accrual Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of “LIBOR Accrual Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(f) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any Loan Request for a Dollar Loan , conversion to or continuation of Dollar Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such Loan Request into a request for a Dollar Loan of or conversion to the Alternate Base Rate. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate.

-144-

(g) Other than with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election or under the circumstances described in clause (h) below, if the Agent determines, for any proposed LIBOR Accrual Period, that: (i) deposits in Dollars are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore market for the applicable amount and LIBOR Accrual Period of any Loan; or (ii) the LIBOR Rate does not adequately or fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding or maintaining any Loan, then: (A) the Agent shall forthwith notify the Lenders and the Borrower; and (B) while such circumstances exist, none of the Lenders shall allocate any Loans made during such period, or reallocate any Loans in the applicable Eligible Currency allocated to any then-existing LIBOR Accrual Period ending during such period, to an LIBOR Accrual Period with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate. If, with respect to any outstanding LIBOR Accrual Period, a Lender notifies the Agent that it is unable to obtain matching deposits in the London interbank market to fund its purchase or maintenance of such Loans or that the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Loans will not adequately reflect the cost to the Person of funding or maintaining such Loans for such LIBOR Accrual Period, then: (x) the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders; and (y) upon such notice and thereafter while such circumstances exist, the applicable Lender shall not make any Loans in the applicable Eligible Currency during such period or reallocate any Loans allocated to any LIBOR Accrual Period ending during such period, to a LIBOR Accrual Period with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate; provided that, (I) if the forgoing notice relates to Loans that are outstanding, such Loans shall be converted Loans of the Alternate Base Rate only on the last day of the then-current LIBOR Accrual Period, and (II) upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any outstanding Loan Requests for Loans of the applicable Eligible Currency.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrowers or Required Lenders notify the Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrowers) that the Borrowers or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined solely with respect to an Eligible Currency other than Dollars, that:

a. adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the relevant Applicable Interest Rate for any requested LIBOR Accrual Period, because the applicable screen rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

b. the administrator of the LIBOR screen rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the relevant Applicable Interest Rate or the applicable screen rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

c. syndicated loans denominated in the applicable Eligible Currency currently being executed, 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 the relevant Applicable Interest Rate;

-145-

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Agent or receipt by the Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Applicable Interest Rate with respect to such Eligible Currency 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 such Eligible Currency for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “Eligible Currency LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed Eligible Currency LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 17.2, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.

If no Eligible Currency LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eligible Currency Loans in such Eligible Currency shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eligible Currency Loans or LIBOR Accrual Periods); provided that this Section 17.2(h) shall not be construed to require the Borrower to repay any outstanding Loan denominated in such Eligible Currency. Upon receipt of such notice, then notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Borrower may (x) revoke any pending Request for Borrowing of Eligible Currency Loans in such Eligible Currency (to the extent of the affected Eligible Currency Loans or LIBOR Accrual Periods) or (y) convert such outstanding Loans to Dollar Loans (which, for the avoidance of doubt, would be subject to the Dollar LIBOR Rate or Dollar LIBOR Successor Rate, as applicable), and failing any election under the foregoing clauses (x) or (y), will be deemed to have converted such request into a Loan Request for Eligible Currency Loans based off the Alternate Base Rate in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of Eligible Currency LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such Eligible Currency LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero (0) for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 17.3 Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, or by email, to the intended party at the address or email address of such party set forth under its name on Annex A or at such other address or email address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and communications shall be effective, (a) if personally delivered, when received, (b) if sent by certified mail, three Business Days after having been deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, (c) if sent by overnight courier, one Business Day after having been given to such courier, and (d) if transmitted by electronic means, except that notices and communications pursuant to Section 2.2, shall not be effective until received.

The Collateral Agent (in each of its capacities) and the Collateral Administrator each agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement or any document executed in connection herewith sent by unsecured email or other similar unsecured

-146-

electronic methods, in each case, of an executed instruction or direction (which may be in the form of a .pdf file); provided, however, that the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall have received an incumbency certificate listing such person as a person designated to provide such instructions or directions, which incumbency certificate may be amended whenever a person is added or deleted from the listing. If such person elects to give the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator email (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator’s, as applicable, reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. Neither Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Administrator shall be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from their reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Any person providing such instructions or directions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator, including without limitation the risk of the either of them acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties and acknowledges and agrees that there may be more secure methods of transmitting such instructions than the method(s) selected by it and agrees that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of such instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the materials and information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (i) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC,” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of U.S. federal and state securities Laws (provided, however, that to the extent that such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be subject to Section 9.12); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (iv) the Agents shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information”. Each Public Lender will designate one or more representatives that shall be permitted to receive information that is not designated as being available for Public Lenders.

Section 17.4 Costs and Expenses. In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under Section 16.1, the Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Administrator, the Lender Agents and the Lenders in connection with the preparation,

-147-

execution, delivery, syndication and administration of this Agreement, any liquidity support facility and the other documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder or with respect hereto, in each case, subject to any cap on such costs and expenses agreed upon in a separate letter agreement among the Borrower, the Servicer, the Collateral Administrator and the Agent or the Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator and Collateral Custodian Fee Letter, as applicable, and the Borrower further agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents executed in connection with this Agreement, including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket, documented expenses of counsel for the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Custodian, the Lender Agents and the Lenders with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent and the Lenders as to its rights and remedies under this Agreement, and to pay all documented and out-of-pocket costs and expenses, if any (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses), of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Custodian, the Lender Agents and the Lenders, in connection with the enforcement against the Servicer or the Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and the other documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder or with respect hereto; provided, that in the case of reimbursement of (A) counsel for the Lenders other than the Agent, such reimbursement shall be limited to one counsel for all the Agent, the Lender Agents and Lenders and (B) counsel for the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and Collateral Custodian shall be limited to one counsel for such Persons. For the avoidance of doubt, the costs and expenses described in this Section 17.4 shall not include Taxes.

Section 17.5 Binding Effect; Survival. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian and their respective successors and assigns, and the provisions of Section 4.3, Article V, and Article XVI shall inure to the benefit of the Affected Persons and the Indemnitees, respectively, and their respective successors and assigns; provided, nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed to authorize any assignment not permitted by Article XV. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until (subject to the immediately following sentence) such time when all Obligations have been finally and fully paid in cash and performed. The rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made by the Borrower pursuant to Article IX and the indemnification and payment provisions of Article V, Article XVI and the provisions of Section 17.10, Section 17.11 and Section 17.12 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement and any termination of the Servicer.

Section 17.6 Captions and Cross References. The various captions (including the table of contents) in this Agreement are provided solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Agreement to any Section, Schedule or Exhibit are to such Section of or Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement, as the case may be, and references in any Section, subsection, or clause to any subsection, clause or subclause are to such subsection, clause or subclause of such Section, subsection or clause.

Section 17.7 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 17.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement.

Section 17.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE BORROWER, THE SERVICER, THE AGENT, THE LENDER AGENTS, THE INVESTORS OR ANY OTHER AFFECTED PERSON. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR ITS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH SUCH OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT.

Section 17.11 No Proceedings. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Administrator, each Lender Agent, each Lender and the Agent hereby agrees that it will not institute against the Borrower, or join any other Person in instituting against the Borrower, any insolvency proceeding (namely, any proceeding of the type referred to in the definition of Insolvency Event) so long as any Loans or other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such Loans or other amounts shall be outstanding. The foregoing shall not limit such Person’s right to file any claim in or otherwise take any action with respect to any insolvency proceeding that was instituted by any Person other than such Person.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against any Conduit Lender, any insolvency proceeding (namely, any proceeding of the type referred to in the definition of Insolvency Event) so long as any commercial paper note issued by such applicable Conduit Lender shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day or such longer preference period as shall then be in effect since the last day on which any such commercial paper notes shall be outstanding.

(c) The provisions of this Section 17.11 are a material inducement for the Secured Parties to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and are an essential term hereof. The parties hereby agree that monetary damages are not adequate for a

-149-

breach of the provisions of this Section 17.11 and the Agent may seek and obtain specific performance of such provisions (including injunctive relief), including, without limitation, in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, winding up, insolvency, moratorium, winding up or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under United States federal or state bankruptcy laws or any similar laws. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 17.12 Limited Recourse. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement are limited recourse obligations of the Borrower (and not any of its Affiliates or any other party) payable solely from the Collateral in accordance with Section 8.3 and, following realization of the Collateral, and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 8.3 all obligations of and any claims against the Borrower hereunder or in connection herewith after such realization shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had against any officer, director, employee, shareholder, member, manager, agent, partner, principal or incorporator of the Borrower or their respective successors or assigns for any amounts payable under this Agreement. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 17.2(a) shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by this Agreement until such Collateral has been realized. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 17.2(a) shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Borrower as a party defendant in any proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under this Agreement, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against the Borrower.

(b) No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of a Lender contained in this Agreement shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of any Lender or any of their respective 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 Agreement is solely a corporate obligation of each 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 Lender or any of their respective Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) or any of them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of a Lender contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by a 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 Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any of the Transaction Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge that the obligations of any Conduit Lender arising hereunder are limited recourse obligations payable solely from the unsecured assets of such Conduit Lender (the “Available Funds”) and, following the application of such Available Funds or the proceeds thereof, any claims of the parties hereto (and the obligations of such Conduit Lender) shall be extinguished. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing

-150-

under this Agreement against any officer, member, director, employee, security holder or incorporator of any Conduit Lender or its successors or assigns, and no action may be brought against any officer, member, director, employee, security holder or incorporator of any Conduit Lender personally; provided that the foregoing shall not relieve any such Persons from any liability they might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions taken or omissions made by them. The parties hereto agree that they will not petition a court, or take any action or commence any proceedings, for the liquidation or the winding-up of, or the appointment of an examiner to, any Conduit Lender or any other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings with respect to such Conduit Lender; provided that nothing in this sentence shall limit the right of any party hereto to file any claim or otherwise take any action with respect to any proceeding of the type described in this sentence that was instituted against any Conduit Lender by any Person other than such party. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Each Conduit Lender shall only be required to pay (a) any fees or liabilities that it may incur under this Agreement only to the extent such Conduit Lender has Excess Funds on the date of such determination and (b) any expenses, indemnities or other liabilities that it may incur under this Agreement or any fees, expenses, indemnities or other liabilities under any other Transaction Document only to the extent such Conduit Lender receives funds designated for such purposes or to the extent it has Excess Funds not required, after giving effect to all amounts on deposit in its commercial paper account, to pay or provide for the payment of all of its outstanding commercial paper notes and other amounts in accordance with its applicable transaction documents as of the date of such determination. In addition, no amount owing by any Conduit Lender hereunder in excess of the liabilities that such Conduit Lender is required to pay in accordance with the preceding sentence shall constitute a “claim” (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against such Conduit Lender.

Section 17.13 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS EXECUTED AND DELIVERED HEREWITH REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

Section 17.14 Confidentiality. (a) The Borrower, the Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Agent shall hold in confidence, and not disclose to any Person, the identity of any Lender or the terms of any fees payable in connection with this Agreement (such information, “Lender Deal Information”) except they may disclose such Lender Deal Information (i) to their officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, auditors, advisors, prospective lenders, equity investors, affiliates or representatives, (ii) with the consent of such Lender, (iii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through such Person, (iv) to the extent the Borrower, the Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent or any Affiliate of any of them should be required by any law or regulation applicable to it (including securities laws) or requested by any Official Body to disclose such information or (v) to the extent described herein; provided, that in the case of clause (iv) above, such party will use reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality and will (unless otherwise prohibited by law) notify the Agent of its intention to make any such disclosure prior to making any such disclosure.

-151-

(b) The Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Administrator, each Lender Agent and each Lender, severally and with respect to itself only, covenants and agrees that any information about the Borrower or its Affiliates or the Obligors, the Collateral Obligations, the Related Security or otherwise obtained by the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, such Lender Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be held in confidence (it being understood that documents provided to the Agent hereunder may in all cases be distributed by the Agent to the Lenders and Lender Agents) except that the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Custodian, such Lender Agent or such Lender may disclose such information (i) to its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, auditors, advisors, prospective lenders (including any assignee and participant, but excluding any Competitor or any Person included in the Disqualified Investor List) or representatives, who shall be obligated to hold such information confidential, (ii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, such Lender Agent or such Lender, (iii) to the extent such information was available to the Agent, such Lender Agent or such Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the Agent, such Lender Agent or such Lender hereunder, (iv) with the consent of the Servicer, (v) to the extent permitted by this Agreement, (vi) on a confidential basis to any Rating Agency, any commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to any Lender or any Person providing financing to, or holding equity interests in, any Conduit Lender, as applicable, and to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing, provided each such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information or (vii) to the extent the Agent, such Lender Agent or such Lender should be (A) required in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding or (B) requested by any Official Body to disclose such information; provided, that in the case of clause (vii) above, the Agent, such Lender Agent or such Lender, as applicable, will use reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality and will (unless otherwise prohibited by law or in connection with a routine regulatory review or examination) notify the Servicer of its intention to make any such disclosure prior to making any such disclosure.

Section 17.15 Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment. All parties hereto agree that each of them and each of their employees, representatives, and other agents may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including, without limitation, opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. “Tax treatment” and “tax structure” shall have the same meaning as such terms have for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, the provisions of this Section 17.15 shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 17.16 Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.1, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any

-152-

Lender or Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.3, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the Obligations 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 4.3 or Section 5.1, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially 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) At any time there is more than one Lender, the Borrower shall be permitted, at its sole expense and effort, to replace any Lender, except (i) the Agent or (ii) any Lender which is administered by the Agent or an Affiliate of the Agent, that (a) requests reimbursement, payment or compensation for any amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 5.1 or (b) has received a written notice from the Borrower of an impending change in law that would entitle such Lender to payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 5.1, unless such Lender designates a different lending office before such change in law becomes effective pursuant to Section 17.16(a) and such alternate lending office obviates the need for the Borrower to make payments of additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 5.1 or (c) has not consented to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver, each pursuant to Section 17.2 or (d) becomes a Defaulting Lender; provided, that (i) nothing herein shall relieve a Lender from any liability it might have to the Borrower or to the other Lenders for its failure to make any Loan, (ii) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iii) during the Revolving Period, the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, (iv) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.5, (v) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) for Increased Costs or Indemnified Taxes, as the case may be, (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender, and (vii) if such replacement is being effected as a result of a Lender requesting compensation pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 5.1, such replacement, if effected, will result in a reduction in such compensation or payment thereafter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Fee Letter, in the event that the Agent or an Affiliate of the Agent takes any action described in the foregoing clauses (a), (b) or (d), the Borrower may elect to prepay all outstanding Loans and terminate the remaining Commitments hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Agreement, no Lender removed or replaced under the provisions hereof shall have any right to receive any amounts set forth in Section 2.5(b) in connection with such removal or replacement. A 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 17.17 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in New York County in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents, and

-153-

each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Section 17.18 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Transaction Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 17.19 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Transaction Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) (i) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Borrower and the Agent or any Lender is intended to be or has been created in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Transaction Documents, irrespective of whether the Agent or any Lender has advised or is advising the Borrower on other matters, (ii) the services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agent and the Lender are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agent or the Lenders, on the other hand, (iii) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent that it has deemed appropriate and (iv) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents; and

-154-

(b) (i) the Agent and each Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person; (ii) none of the Agent or the Lenders has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents; and (iii) the Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Agent and the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against any of the Agent and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 17.20 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender Group subject to the USA Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender Group to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

Section 17.21 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to such Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 17.22 Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that this Agreement provides support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that this Agreement and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

-155-

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

Section 17.23 Electronic Communications and Signatures.

(a) The Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Custodian agree to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents sent by unsecured email, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided that any Person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Custodian (as applicable) an incumbency certificate listing authorized Persons designated to provide such instructions or directions, which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a person is added or deleted from the listing. If such person elects to give the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Custodian email or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Custodian (as applicable) in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Collateral Agent’s, the Collateral Administrator’s or the Collateral Custodian’s (as applicable) reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Collateral Agent’s, the Collateral Administrator’s or the Collateral Custodian’s (as applicable) reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Any Person providing such instructions or directions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Custodian, including the risk of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Custodian acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

-156-
