Section 2.6 Borrowing Base. (a) The Administrative Agent may, in its good faith discretion, and shall, at the request of the Majority Lenders, on any date, calculate the Borrowing Base and shall provide written notice thereof to the Borrower. To the extent any such calculation results in a Mandatory Prepayment Event, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a notice to the Borrower and each Lender (a “Mandatory Prepayment Notice”), setting forth the calculation thereof (which shall be conclusive absent manifest error), and any payments required to be made by the Borrower as a result of such calculation shall be due and owing as provided in Section 2.9. For purposes of determining the Borrowing Base in accordance with this Section 2.6, the Administrative Agent shall adjust the Administrative Agent Asset Value to include the Derivatives Termination Value of the Borrower’s rights in any Portfolio Hedges pledged as Collateral hereunder (and solely for the purposes of determining the Borrowing Base for the purposes of this Section 2.6, net of any cash posted with respect to such Portfolio Hedges), as such Derivatives Termination Value is determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion, exercised in good faith, at any time and from time-to-time on a daily basis or more frequently, taking into consideration the Fannie Mae Advance Rate or Freddie Mac Advance Rate, as applicable. At the Administrative Agent’s discretion, the Administrative Agent may obtain valuation reports with respect to the Administrative Agent Asset Value from a Valuation Agent, at any time and from time to time on a non-binding basis.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall have the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s calculation of the Administrative Agent Asset Value (other than the Derivatives Termination Value) by notifying the Administrative Agent and the Lenders within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower receives a Mandatory Prepayment Notice.

The average of the midpoint values indicated in the two valuation reports submitted by the Valuation Agents shall become the conclusive Valuation Agent Market Value Percentage of the related MSRs that constitute Eligible Assets, binding upon all Parties, absent manifest error.    

(c) To the extent a Mandatory Prepayment Event remains following the determination of any Valuation Agent Market Value Percentage in accordance with clause (b), such Mandatory Prepayment Event shall be paid as provided in Section 2.9. Any costs, expenses, fees and other amounts due and owing to any Valuation Agent or Dealer in connection with the engagement of such Valuation Agent or Dealer in accordance with this Section 2.6 shall be an Obligation of the Borrower and shall become due and payable on the immediately succeeding Monthly Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.7.

Section 2.7 Repayment of the Advances. (a) The outstanding principal balance of the Advances and the other Obligations owing under this Agreement, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

-34-

exceed [***] in the aggregate (such excess, the “Credit Manager Annual Excess”), the Borrower shall endeavor to deliver a notice, including calculations and proof of payment thereof, to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date that is ten (10) days prior to the third Monthly Payment Date of each successive twelve-month period commencing April 2018 (each, a “Credit Manager Period”) (which may be included in the Monthly Report for April), and setting forth the Borrower’s election to (i) reduce the Interest Distribution Amount due and owing on such Monthly Payment Date in an amount equal to the Credit Manager Annual Excess for the most recently ended Credit Manager Period, or (ii) instruct the Administrative Agent to remit to the Borrower an amount equal to the Credit Manager Annual Excess for the most recently ended Credit Manager Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to provide such notice does not preclude the Borrower from recovering the Credit Manager Annual Excess pursuant to the provisions above.

(c) On each Monthly Payment Date following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, based on information supplied to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in the related Monthly Report or otherwise, including an Authorization to Distribute Collection Account Funds in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, which shall be completed by the Borrower and, with the Administrative Agent’s consent, delivered to the Account Bank (which consent shall not be deemed to be an agreement by any Lender as to the accuracy of the information contained therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, including Collections deposited therein during the related Collection Period shall be disbursed by the Account Bank from the Collection Account and applied on such Monthly Payment Date in the following order of priority:

(a) Mandatory Prepayment Event.

(i) If a Mandatory Prepayment Event exists on any date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, an amount necessary to cause the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding to equal the lesser of the Aggregate Commitment and the Borrowing Base as of such date, together with accrued but unpaid interest on the amount required to be so prepaid to the date of such prepayment. All such amounts shall become due and payable (i) if such Borrowing Base Deficiency does not exceed [***] of the Advances then outstanding, within [***] following the Borrower’s receipt of a Mandatory Prepayment Notice, (ii) if such Borrowing Base Deficiency exceeds [***] but does not exceed [***] of the Advances outstanding, within [***] following the Borrower’s receipt of a Mandatory Prepayment Notice, and (iii) if such Borrowing Base Deficiency exceeds [***] of the Advances outstanding or if such Borrowing Base Deficiency is in any way related to the occurrence of the Freddie Mac Expiration Date, within the greater of [***] and [***] following the Borrower’s receipt of a Mandatory Prepayment Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the [***] period during which the Borrower may dispute the Administrative Agent’s determination of the Administrative Agent Asset Value set forth in Section 2.6 shall not operate to extend the cure periods referenced in the preceding sentence.

(ii) In lieu of making any prepayment in accordance with clause (i) above to eliminate a Mandatory Prepayment Event, the Borrower may identify as Collateral additional Fannie Mae MSRs or Freddie Mac MSRs, as applicable, in an amount such that the lesser of the Aggregate Commitment and the Borrowing Base shall equal or

-36-

exceed the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding relating thereto. Upon such identification, such MSRs shall be Collateral hereunder without any further action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, provided that, immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such contribution, (i) no Event of Default exists, and (ii) each of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made or deemed to be made by the Borrower under or in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which they are parties, is true and correct in all material respects as of such date.

(iii) In the event that a Mandatory Prepayment Event exists and without limiting the Administrative Agent’s right to determine the Borrowing Base on any day, the Administrative Agent may retain any funds received by it to which Borrower would otherwise be entitled hereunder, which funds may be held by the Administrative Agent against the related Mandatory Prepayment Event.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.9 or otherwise, (i) any and all obligations of the Borrower to eliminate a Mandatory Prepayment Event and any right of the Administrative Agent and any Lender in respect of a Mandatory Prepayment Event, shall be subject in all respects to the right of the Administrative Agent to determine the Borrowing Base, which right shall supersede any and all of such obligations and rights in respect of Mandatory Prepayment Event set forth in this Section 2.9 or otherwise.

(b) Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control without the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent (which may be given or withheld in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion), the Borrower shall, at the Administrative Agent’s option, not later than five (5) Business Days after written demand by the Administrative Agent, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and any unpaid accrued interest and, upon any such demand, all Commitments hereunder shall automatically terminate without further action of the Administrative Agent.

During the Availability Period, the Borrower may, at its option, prepay all or any portion of the Advances outstanding and obtain a release of Collateral on any date (the “Redemption Date”) upon prior written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days (or one (1) Business Day, if (A) there has been no change to the Collateral since the later of (x) an Advance under this Agreement or (y) the most recent Monthly Report, and (B) no Collateral will be released in connection with such prepayment); provided that the Borrower shall be permitted to deliver such notice no more frequently than one (1) time during any week. Each such notice shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H and shall specify (i) the aggregate amount of the prepayment to be made on the Advances outstanding, (ii) the Redemption Date, and (iii) the Collateral to be released on such Redemption Date in connection with such prepayment, and shall include a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate containing information accurate as of such date. Each such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount equal to [***] and in integral multiples of [***] in excess thereof. Each such prepayment of the Advances outstanding shall be accompanied by a payment of all outstanding indemnity Obligations of the Borrower then due and owing under this Agreement, and, to the

-37-

extent the Borrower has requested a prepayment in full of the Advances then outstanding, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in each case, through such Redemption Date. Any such prepayment shall be made out of Collections by transfer by the Borrower, or the Account Bank, from the Collection Account to the Lenders at the written direction of the Borrower or out of other funds of the Borrower, so long as, after giving effect to the deposit of the applicable prepayment amount and release of Collateral, the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

(i) no selection procedures are used with respect to identification of Assets to be released or retained that are materially adverse to the Secured Parties, to the extent such selection procedures are used in the exercise of the Borrower’s bad faith or unfair dealing;

(ii) no Borrowing Base Deficiency, Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall exist either prior to, or after giving effect to the prepayment of the applicable portion of the Advances outstanding and the release of the related Collateral (unless, in the case of a Borrowing Base Deficiency, the amount of such Borrowing Base Deficiency is eliminated as a result of such prepayment and release); and

(iii) the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV are true and correct as of such Redemption Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct as of such earlier date) after giving effect to the prepayment of the applicable portion of the Advances outstanding and release of the related Collateral.

Section 2.11 Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Additional Indemnifications; LIBOR Unavailability; Illegality.

(a) Breakage Costs. If an Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any Breakage Costs resulting therefrom on the next Monthly Payment Date immediately following the date on which such Breakage Costs are incurred.

(b) Increased Costs. If (i) the introduction of or any change (including any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation by a Governmental Authority, (ii) the compliance by any Lender or the Administrative Agent (each of which, an “Affected Party”) with any guideline or request from any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) or (iii) any Change in Law, (a) shall subject any Affected Party to any Taxes (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (z) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or (b) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party or (c) shall impose any other condition affecting the rights of any Lender and the Administrative Agent hereunder, the result of which is to increase the cost (other than Taxes) to any Affected Party

-38-

under this Agreement or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement, then on the next Monthly Payment Date immediately following the receipt of written demand by such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered to the extent such additional or increased costs or reduction are incurred or suffered in connection with any obligation to make Advances hereunder, any of the rights of such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder, or any payment made hereunder.

(c) Capital Adequacy. If (i) the introduction of or any change after the Closing Date in or in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request, (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or agency (whether or not having the force of law), including compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or (iii) any other Change in Law has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change, compliance or Change in Law (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then on the next Monthly Payment Date immediately following the receipt of written demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction.

(d) If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in Sections 2.11(a), 2.11(b) or 2.11(c), any Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then on the next Monthly Payment Date immediately following the receipt of written demand by such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts paid by it.

(e) In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.11, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.11 shall submit to the Borrower a certificate as to such additional or increased cost or reduction, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) LIBOR Unavailability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,

(i) in the event that the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined in good faith that U.S. Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Advances are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that the Administrative Agent has been notified in writing by the Majority Lenders that the rates at which such U.S. Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly in good faith reflect the cost to the Majority Lenders of making or maintaining loans at

-39-

LIBOR, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, notify the Borrower and the Lenders of such determination (a “LIBOR Unavailability Notice”). The Administrative Agent may rescind any such LIBOR Unavailability Notice in the event that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (such notice to be provided by the Administrative Agent promptly upon written notice of the Majority Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such LIBOR Unavailability Notice have ceased to exist).

(ii) In the event that LIBOR is phased out, and a new benchmark is established or administered by the Financial Conduct Authority or ICE Benchmark Administration or other comparable authority, and such new benchmark with a one-month maturity is readily available through Bloomberg or a comparable medium, then the Administrative Agent shall utilize such new benchmark with a one-month maturity for all purposes hereof in place of LIBOR.

(iii) If a LIBOR Unavailability Notice has been delivered but not rescinded, LIBOR cannot be determined or has been phased out and no new benchmark under clause (ii) has been established, the Administrative Agent shall designate a comparable alternative benchmark (the “Alternative Rate”), which may include reference to the arithmetic average of the rates of interest per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) at which deposits in U.S. Dollars in immediately available funds are offered to the Administrative Agent at 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) two (2) London Banking Days before the beginning of such one-month period by three (3) or more major banks in the interbank Eurodollar market selected by the Administrative Agent for delivery on the first day of and for a period equal to such one-month period and in an amount equal or comparable to the principal amount of the portion of the Advance on which “LIBOR” is being calculated, and shall give notice thereof to the Borrower by telephone, facsimile, or other electronic means as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to the determination of the Alternative Rate no longer exist or that LIBOR can be determined or a new benchmark under clause (ii) has been established, all calculations of interest by reference to LIBOR hereunder shall instead be made by reference to the Alternative Rate.

(g) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any Lender shall have reasonably determined in good faith that any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for such Lender to fund or maintain any Advance by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, following which (a) such Lender’s obligation to fund any Advance shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again fund and maintain its Advances hereunder, (b) if a Notice of Borrowing has been submitted pursuant to Section 2.4(A) but the affected Advance has not been funded, the Borrower may revoke such Notice of Borrowing by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent thereof on the same day that the Borrower was notified by the Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11(g) and (c) if such Law shall so mandate, such Lender’s outstanding Advances shall be prepaid by the Borrower, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts payable by the Borrower to such Lender under this Agreement, on the last day of the Interest Accrual Period with respect to such Advances (or before such date as shall be mandated by such Law), it being acknowledged that any amounts prepaid pursuant to clause (c) above may be paid with an Advance or Advances made with an interest rate calculated pursuant to the Alternative Rate.

-40-

Section 2.12 Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower (through the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.7) shall make each payment and prepayment hereunder and under the Loan Notes in respect of principal, interest, expenses, indemnities, fees or other Obligations due from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender not later than 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. Dollars to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.3 or to the Administrative Agent’s Account in immediately available, same-day funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to more than one Lender, then to such Lenders ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lenders and (ii) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender, then to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with Section 2.7. All computations of interest based shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) All payments to be made in respect of fees due hereunder to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower shall be made pursuant to Section 2.7, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature (other than with respect to Taxes pursuant to Section 2.15), and an action therefor shall immediately accrue.

Section 2.13 Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Loan Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest.

Section 2.14 Extension of Availability Period. (a) The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent not later than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Availability Period End Date then in effect hereunder, request that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders extend the Availability Period End Date then in effect for an additional period of thirty-six months such that the new Availability Period End Date under this Agreement will be the Monthly Payment Date occurring in the thirty-sixth month after the month in which the Borrower’s extension request is granted by the Administrative Agent (if so granted). There shall be no limit on the Borrower’s ability to submit multiple requests for extension of the Availability Period End Date then in effect as it is the parties’ intent that this Agreement may be renewed for successive thirty-six month periods.

-41-

(b) The Administrative Agent, with the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), shall advise the Borrower whether the Lenders agree to any requested extension of the Availability Period End Date within thirty (30) days after the Borrower has given notice to the Administrative Agent that it requests an extension of the Availability Period End Date; provided, that if the Lenders do not agree to any requested extension, the Borrower may renew its request for an extension at any time or from time to time prior to the end of the Availability Period End Date then in effect; provided further, that the Administrative Agent’s failure to respond within such period shall constitute the Administrative Agent’s denial of the requested extension.

(c) Any such request to extend the Availability Period End Date shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) any such extension of the Availability Period End Date will be effective only upon the written agreement of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received payment in full of the Loan Extension Fee on or prior to the then applicable Availability Period End Date. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, the date referenced in the definition of “Availability Period End Date” shall be automatically extended for an additional thirty-six months after the date that the Borrower’s extension request is granted by the Administrative Agent. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.2 to the contrary.

Section 2.15 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.15 the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b) 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 Governmental Authority 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) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (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) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect

-42-

thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (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 Administrative 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 10.8 relating to the maintenance of the Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative 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 Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.15(e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.15, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Status of Recipients.

(i) Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Recipient, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient 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 Sections 2.15(g)(ii)(a), (ii)(b) and (ii)(d) below) shall not be required if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.

-43-

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Recipient that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Recipient 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 originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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 W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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;

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Recipient claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower) to the effect that such Recipient is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

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

-44-

(C) any Recipient which is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals 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 Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

Each Recipient 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 Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) [Reserved].

(i) 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 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), 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 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 Governmental

-45-

Authority 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 2.15(i) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15(i), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.15(i) 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 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.15(i) 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.

(j) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

Section 2.16 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i) The Non-Usage Fee shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.5; and

(ii) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as applicable, have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 10.2); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(b) If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender shall purchase at par such of the Advances of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Advances in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, whereupon such 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 the 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 having been a Defaulting Lender.

-46-

Section 2.17 Security Interest. (a) Subject to the terms of the Acknowledgment Agreements, the Borrower hereby grants, pledges and assigns to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of each Secured Party) as security for the payment and performance by the Borrower of the Obligations, a security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under, in any case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (i) all MSRs arising under or related to the Fannie Mae Lender Contract; (ii) all MSRs arising under or related to the Freddie Mac Servicing Contract and identified on the related Schedule of Assets; (iii) the Borrower’s rights (but not its obligations) under the Transaction Documents including without limitation, any rights to receive payments thereunder or any rights to collateral thereunder whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created; (iv) the Borrower’s rights (but not its obligations) under the Portfolio Hedges (which shall be acceptable in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and any rights to receive payments thereunder or any rights to collateral thereunder whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created; (v) all “Excess Funds” (as that term is defined in the Freddie Mac Intercreditor Agreement), following the payment in full of all claims, expenses and obligations to Freddie Mac set forth in the Freddie Mac Credit Agreement and the Freddie/Freddie Acknowledgment Agreement; and (vi) all Records relating to and all proceeds of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”). For the avoidance of doubt, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that with respect to MSRs arising under or related to a Servicing Contract, “Collateral” does not include servicing advances subject to reimbursement from the applicable Agency related to mortgage servicing rights subject to the related Servicing Contract, including without limitation, payments of principal, interest, taxes and or insurance made by any borrower in respect of a Mortgage Loan owned or guaranteed by such Agency.

(b) The parties acknowledge that the Agencies have certain rights under the Acknowledgment Agreements, including without limitation the right to cause the Borrower to transfer servicing to a transferee servicer under certain circumstances all as more particularly set forth therein. The Transferee Servicer shall have all the rights and remedies against the Borrower and the Collateral as set forth herein and under the UCC.

(c) GS&Co. hereby acknowledges the grant, pledge and assignment of the Borrower’s rights (but not its obligations) under the Portfolio Hedges set forth in Section 2.17(a)(iv) and agrees that such grant, pledge and assignment does not violate any restrictions related thereto set forth in such Portfolio Hedges.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) The Borrower will promptly at its expense execute and deliver such instruments, financing and continuation statements and documents and take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time in order to perfect, protect, evidence, exercise and enforce the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s interests, rights and remedies under and with respect to the Transaction Documents, the Advances and the Assets. To the extent the Borrower has filed or caused the filing of any document as provided above, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following such recording, registration or filing.

-47-

(f) If the Borrower fails to perform any of its Obligations, then the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to) perform or cause to be performed such Obligation, and the costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower fails to perform any of its Obligations, the Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the expense of the Borrower, at any time and from time to time, to take all actions and pay all amounts that the Administrative Agent deems necessary or appropriate to protect, enforce, preserve, insure, service, administer, manage, perform, maintain, safeguard, collect or realize on the Assets, including the right to liquidate the Assets, and the Administrative Agent’s Liens and interests therein or thereon and to give effect to the intent of the Transaction Documents. No Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall be cured by the payment or performance of any Obligation by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may make any such payment in accordance with any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, Tax Lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by the Borrower in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

(g) Upon termination of this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall promptly file termination statements with respect to each financing statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.17.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, The Borrower shall take all necessary action to maintain all of its applicable Agency Approvals at all times during the term of this Agreement.

(v) Insurance. The Borrower shall maintain or cause to be maintained, at its own expense, insurance coverage as is customary, reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of the Borrower’s business as of any date after the Closing Date.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 7.1 Appointment; Nature of Relationship. The Administrative Agent is appointed by the Lenders as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under each other Transaction Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article VII. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Administrative Agent (A) does not assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, (B) is a “representative” of the Lenders within the meaning of Section 9-102 of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York and (C) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Each of the Lenders agrees to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender waives. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to any Lender any written information delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents promptly after any Lender’s reasonable request therefor.

Section 7.2 Powers. The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Transaction Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Section 7.3 General Immunity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely from (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person or (B) breach of contract by such Person with respect to the Transaction Documents.

Section 7.4 No Responsibility for Advances, Creditworthiness, Collateral, Recitals, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Transaction Document or any borrowing hereunder, (B) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements

-74-

of any obligor under any Transaction Document, (C) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Administrative Agent, (D) the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or (E) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Transaction Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents, for the perfection or priority of any of the Liens on any of the Collateral, or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, legality, enforceability, collectability, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any guarantor of any or all of the Obligations or the Borrower.

Section 7.5 Action on Instruction of Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Transaction Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Majority Lenders, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and on all holders of Loan Notes. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Transaction Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

Section 7.6 Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Transaction Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to the Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under any other Transaction Document.

Section 7.7 Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Loan Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent.

Section 7.8 The Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify (on a pro rata basis based upon their Applicable Percentage) the Administrative Agent (A) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Transaction Documents, (B) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Transaction Documents and (C) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and

-75-

nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Transaction Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents; provided, each Lender agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Transaction Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents related to such Lender failing to maintain the confidentiality of any materials provided by the Credit Manager and/or for taking any actions that cause the Administrative Agent to be liable to Freddie Mac under Section 22(b) of the Freddie Mac Acknowledgment Agreement; and provided further that in each case no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent.

Section 7.9 Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitment and Advances made by it and the Loan Notes issued to it, in its capacity as a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Transaction Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”, as applicable, shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, with the Borrower in which such Person is not prohibited hereby from engaging with any other Person.

Section 7.10 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative 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 credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 7.11 Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, Freddie Mac and the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time prior to the Freddie Mac Expiration Date, no resignation of the Administrative Agent shall be effective until receipt of Freddie Mac’s express written consent to such resignation and satisfaction of the other terms and conditions of this Section 7.11 and Section 4(d) of the Freddie Mac Acknowledgment Agreement. The Administrative Agent may be removed at any time for cause by written notice received by the Administrative Agent from all of the other Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor

-76-

Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the exiting Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation or receipt of notice of removal, then the exiting Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent (but only if such successor is reasonably acceptable to each Lender) or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the exiting Administrative Agent, and the exiting Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. After any exiting Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. Upon the appointment of any successor Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.11, such successor Administrative Agent shall give prompt written notice thereof to Fannie Mae in accordance with Section 16(c) of the Fannie Mae Acknowledgment Agreement.

Section 7.12 Transaction Documents; Further Assurances. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to take all action contemplated by such documents in its capacity as Administrative Agent; provided that, with respect to the Credit Manager Agreement, each Lender hereunder shall execute and deliver a joinder or related agreement acknowledging acceptance of the terms thereof, on or prior to becoming a Lender hereunder. Each Lender agrees that no Lender shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Transaction Document or seek to enforce or have standing to exercise any remedy against any Agency directly, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders upon the terms of the Transaction Documents.

If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or

-81-

otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon written demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to the obligations owing to them.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the first sentence of this Section 10.8, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Loan Note to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such assignment or pledge shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

-82-

Upon, and to the extent of, any assignment (unless otherwise stated therein) made by any Lender hereunder, the assignee or purchaser of such assignment shall be a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and shall have all the rights, benefits and obligations (including the obligation to provide documentation pursuant to Section 2.15(g)) of a Lender hereunder. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Commitment of and outstanding principal amounts (and accrued interest) of the Advances owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and any assignment of such Commitment or outstanding Advances. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Any Lender may sell participation interests in its Advances and obligations hereunder (each such recipient of a participation a “Participant”); provided that after giving effect to the sale of such participation, such Lender’s obligations hereunder and rights to consent to any waiver hereunder or amendment hereof shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, all amounts payable to such Lender hereunder and all rights to consent to any waiver hereunder or amendment hereof shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation interest, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender and not be obligated to deal with such participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the outstanding principal amounts (and accrued interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other 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 (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other 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 Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Each recipient of a participation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the same rights, benefits and obligations (including the obligation to provide documentation pursuant to Section 2.15(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)), hereunder with respect to the rights and benefits so participated as it would have if it were a Lender hereunder, except that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.11 or 2.15 than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

-83-

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, a Lender may pledge as collateral, or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights in, to and under this Agreement to (i) a security trustee in connection with the funding by such Lender of Advances or (ii) a Federal Reserve Bank to secure obligations to such Federal Reserve Bank, in each case without the consent of the Borrower; provided that no such pledge or grant shall release such Lender from its obligations under this Agreement.
