REVOLVING NOTE

 

U.S. $125,000,000 Dated: December 23, 2014

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CCG RECEIVABLES VI, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of Jupiter Securitization Company, LLC, as a Lender on the Maturity Date, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS (U.S. $125,000,000) or, if less than such amount, the then aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower from time to time pursuant to the Commitment established by the Loan and Administration Agreement, dated as of January 8, 2014 among the Borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the Facility Agent for the Lenders and Administrators from time to time party to the Agreement (the “Facility Agent”) and the Lenders and Administrators from time to time party thereto (as amended, restated, extended supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the “Agreement”, the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined). This Revolving Note is issued in replacement of that certain Revolving Note dated January 8, 2014 from the Borrower in favor of Jupiter Securitization Company, LLC.

The Borrower shall also pay interest to the Lender, in like money, on the aggregate principal balance of each Loan evidenced hereby at the rate or rates per annum provided in the Agreement. All payments of principal and interest shall be made to the Lender in immediately available funds. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears at the times specified in the Agreement. In no event shall the rate of interest and other charges exceed the maximum rate permitted by laws governing this Note.

The Lender is authorized to record the date, amount and Rate Type of each Loan, and the date and amount of each payment thereof, in the Lender’s internal records and on Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof; the Lender may add additional pages to such schedule as necessary. Such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the information so recorded, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the Lender’s failure to make any such recordation shall not affect the Lender’s rights with respect to any Loan or the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of and accrued interest on all Loans in accordance with the Agreement and this Note.

The Borrower may prepay the principal balance of this Note in whole or in part, at any time and from to time, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

This Note is issued under and is subject to the terms of the Agreement, including, but not limited, to the Termination Events defined therein, all of which terms are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. This Note is subject to prepayment and acceleration of maturity as set forth in the Agreement.


This Note may not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a writing signed by the Lender and the Borrower. No act, failure or delay by the Lender shall constitute a waiver of any of its rights and remedies. Any written waiver shall be applicable only in the specific instance for which it is given.

The Borrower, for itself, and its successors and assigns, hereby waives diligence, demand, presentment, protest and notice of any kind, and assents to extensions of the time of payment or forbearance or other indulgence, without notice, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the Agreement.

In the event the Lender or any holder hereof shall refer this Note to an attorney for collection after default by the Borrower, the Borrower agrees to pay, in addition to unpaid principal and interest, all the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in attempting or effecting collection hereunder, including reasonable attorney’s fees (whether inside or outside counsel), whether or not suit is instituted.

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). THE BORROWER HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK FOR PURPOSES OF ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE. THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATING TO OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS NOTE.

If any term or provision of this Note shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of all other terms and provisions hereof shall in no way be affected thereby.
