(a) Organization and Qualification. The Depositor has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware, with requisite power and authority to own its properties and to transact the business in which it is now engaged, including to enter into and perform its obligations under each Basic Document to which it is a party, and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing (or is exempt from such requirements) in each State of the United States where the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified and the failure to be so qualified and in good standing could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect (herein, a Depositor Material Adverse Effect) on (i) the business, assets, operations, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Depositor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (ii) the ability of the Depositor to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents to which it is a party or (iii) the rights of or benefits available to the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents.
(b) No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of its obligations under each Basic Document to which it is a party and the consummation of the
- 44 -
transactions therein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than any Lien created by the Basic Documents), charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Depositor or any of its Affiliates pursuant to the terms of, any of its organizational documents or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which it or any of its Affiliates is bound or to which any of its property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of its organizational documents or any Governmental Rule applicable to the Depositor or any of its properties.
(c) Authorization and Enforceability. Each of the Basic Documents to which the Depositor is a party has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Depositor and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each other party thereto) is a valid and legally binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms, subject to enforcement of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors rights and to general principles of equity, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(d) No Violation. The Depositor is not in violation of its organizational documents or in default under any agreement, indenture or instrument the effect of which violation or default could reasonably be expected to have a Depositor Material Adverse Effect. The Depositor is not in violation of, and the execution and delivery by the Depositor of each Basic Document to which the Depositor is a party and its performance and compliance with the terms of each Basic Document to which the Depositor is a party will not constitute a violation with respect to any Governmental Rule of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, which violation could reasonably be expected to have a Depositor Material Adverse Effect.
(e) Governmental Action. No Governmental Action is required for (i) the execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of, or compliance by the Depositor with, any of the Basic Documents to which the Depositor is a party, (ii) the sale and contribution of Loans and Assets to the Borrower, or (iii) the consummation of the transactions required of it by any Basic Document to which it is a party, except such as shall have been obtained before the date hereof, other than the filing or recording of financing statements, instruments of assignment and other similar documents necessary in connection with the sale and contribution of Loans and Assets to the Borrower.
(f) Licenses. The Depositor possesses all material licenses, certificates, authorities or permits issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by it, and has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such license, certificate, authority or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Depositor Material Adverse Effect.
(g) Litigation. There are no actions or proceedings against, or investigations of, the Depositor currently pending with regard to which the Depositor has received service of process and no action or proceeding against, or investigation of, the Depositor is, to the knowledge of the Depositor, threatened or otherwise pending before any Governmental Authority that (i) would prohibit its entering into any of the Basic Documents to which it is a party or render the Credit
- 45 -
Extensions invalid, (ii) seeks to prevent the making of the Credit Extensions or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by any of the Basic Documents to which it is a party, (iii) would prohibit or materially and adversely affect the performance by the Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, any of the Basic Documents to which it is a party, (iv) that could reasonably be expected to have a Depositor Material Adverse Effect or (v) seeking to affect adversely the income tax treatment of the Credit Extensions.
(h) Investment Company Act. The Depositor is not, and neither the making of the Credit Extensions nor the activities of the Depositor pursuant to the Basic Documents shall require the Depositor to register as, an investment company or under the control of an investment company as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(i) Solvency, Etc. The Depositor is solvent, is able to pay its debts as they become due and has capital sufficient to carry on its business and its obligations hereunder; it will not be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of any of the Basic Documents to which it is a party or the assumption of any of its obligations thereunder; and no petition of bankruptcy (or similar insolvency proceeding) has been filed by or against the Depositor.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account all payments received in connection with each item of Qualified Substitute Collateral after the date of such substitution. Scheduled Payments received with respect to such Qualified Substitute Collateral on or before the date of substitution will be retained by the Originator.

On the date of such substitution, the Collateral Custodian (at the written direction of the Servicer) shall release the Deleted Collateral from the lien of the Guarantee and Security Agreement and the Servicer will cause such Qualified Substitute Collateral to be pledged to the Collateral Custodian under the Guarantee and Security Agreement as part of the Collateral.

The Backup Servicer shall have no responsibility and shall not be in default hereunder or incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of its duties under this Agreement if such failure or delay results from the Backup Servicer acting in accordance with information prepared or supplied by a Person other than the Backup Servicer or the failure of any such other Person to prepare or provide such information.

Except as expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Servicer hereunder and any agreement, instrument or act purporting to effect any such assignment, transfer, delegation or appointment shall be void.

- 79 -
(ii) there is no reasonable action that the Backup Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Backup Servicer shall be evidenced as to clause (i) above by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.06 Servicer May Own Securities.
Each of the Servicer and any Affiliate of the Servicer may in its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Servicer or an Affiliate thereof except as otherwise specifically provided herein.

Following a Term Event, the Servicer hereby agrees that the Servicer shall be bound for the duration of the Initial Term and the term covered by any such Servicer Extension Notice to act as the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.

CapitalSource shall have the right to reject one proposed Successor Servicer within two Business Days of the Administrative Agents submission and, upon such rejection CapitalSource shall have no further consent rights with respect to the appointment of any Successor Servicer. If CapitalSource shall not have rejected such proposed Successor Servicer within such two Business Day period, the Administrative Agent shall, as promptly as possible, appoint such Successor Servicer as servicer hereunder so long as such proposed Successor Servicer is acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Administrative Agent shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution,
- 82 -
having a net worth of not less than United States $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of loans and assets similar to the Loans and the Assets, as the Successor Servicer hereunder.

Upon its appointment, the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable; provided that the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall have (i) no liability with respect to any action performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, becomes the successor to the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any advancing obligations, if any, of the Servicer unless it elects to in its sole discretion, (iii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer (provided that the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall pay any income taxes for which it is liable), (iv) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the transactions contemplated hereby, (v) no liability or obligation with respect to any indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer, including the original Servicer, (vi) no obligation to perform any duties of the Servicer set forth on Exhibit A-1 hereto (which duties will, instead, be performed by the Originator), and (vii) no obligation to perform any duties of the Servicer with respect to any FX Loan, FX Account, FX Document, Foreign Currency Advance, Foreign Currency Credit Extension or Foreign Currency Letter of Credit (which duties will, instead, be performed by the Administrative Agent). The indemnification obligations of the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, upon becoming a Successor Servicer, are expressly limited to those instances of negligence or willful misconduct of the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable.
(c) No Authority of Servicer Upon Termination of Agreement. All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of this Agreement and shall pass to and be vested in the Borrower and, without limitation, the Borrower is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Seller in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing of the Collateral.
(d) Duties of Backup Servicer Upon Succession as Servicer. Upon the Backup Servicer receiving notice that it is required to serve as the Servicer hereunder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02, the Backup Servicer will promptly begin the transition to its role as Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Backup Servicer may, in its discretion, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established servicing institution as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. As compensation, any Successor Servicer so appointed shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee, together with any other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise as provided herein that accrued prior thereto, including Transition Costs. In the event the Backup Servicer is required to solicit bids as provided herein, the Backup Servicer shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the qualifications set forth in this Section 9.02. Such public announcement shall specify that the Successor Servicer shall be entitled to the full amount of the Servicing fee as servicing compensation, together with the other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise that accrued prior thereto. Within 30 days after any such public announcement, the Backup Servicer shall negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder
- 83 -
to the qualified party submitting the highest qualifying bid. The Backup Servicer shall deduct from any sum received by the Backup Servicer from the successor to the Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder and the amount of any unreimbursed Servicing Advances.

The Backup Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. No appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder shall be effective until written notice of such proposed appointment shall have been provided by the Backup Servicer to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Backup Servicer shall have consented thereto. The Backup Servicer shall not resign as servicer until a Successor Servicer has been appointed and accepted such appointment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in any capacity, be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any Successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for by this Agreement.
If Wells Fargo Bank, National Association becomes the Successor Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall not be required to service the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Guidelines but rather it shall be required to service the Collateral in accordance with applicable law, the Required Collateral Documents and current industry standards.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as successor Servicer is authorized to accept and rely on all of the accounting, records (including computer records) and work of the prior Servicer relating to the Collateral (collectively, the Predecessor Servicer Work Product) without any audit or other examination thereof, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions of the prior Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, Errors) exist in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such Errors make it materially more difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association making or continuing any Errors (collectively, Continued Errors), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability to perform servicing or for such Continued Errors; provided that Wells Fargo Bank, National Association agrees to use its best efforts to prevent further Continued Errors. In the event that Wells Fargo Bank, National Association becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future Continued Errors. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall be entitled to recover its costs thereby expended in accordance with Section 5.01(c)(3)(i)(b) and 5.01(c)(4)(i)(b) of this Agreement.
Section 9.03 Waiver of Defaults.
The Administrative Agent may waive any events permitting removal of the Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article IX. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist and any Servicer Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived.
- 84 -

(ii) Such REO Mortgage is, under the law of such jurisdiction a legal, valid and binding obligation of the REO Subsidiary, enforceable against the REO Subsidiary in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and except as the enforceability of such REO Mortgage is subject to the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including (a) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (b) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.
(iii) The recording of such REO Mortgage in the applicable local land office(s) (which shall be specified by such counsel), and (if applicable) the filing with respect to fixtures of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, are the only recordings or filings necessary to publish notice of and to the rights of the parties thereto, and to perfect the liens and security interests created pursuant thereto.
(iv) The exercise of remedies under such REO Mortgage (including, in the event such REO Mortgage is a deed of trust, the exercise of the trustees power of sale thereunder), and the foreclosure of such REO Mortgage, will not in any manner restrict, affect or impair the obligations of the REO Subsidiary with respect to the obligations secured by such REO Mortgage, or the rights and remedies of the Collateral Custodian, Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the foreclosure or enforcement of any other security interests or liens securing such obligations to the extent that any deficiency remains unpaid after application of the proceeds of such exercise or foreclosure.
