Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative reference rates for some of these benchmark rates and, as a result, such benchmark rates may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate, which may be one of the benchmark rates with reference to which the interest rate on Advances may be determined, is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”), the administrator of the London interbank offered rate, and the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of IBA, announced in public statements (the “Announcements”) that the final publication or representativeness date for the London interbank offered rate for (a) U.S. dollars for one week and two month tenor settings will be December 31, 2021, and (b) U.S. dollars for overnight, one-month, three-month, six-month and 12-month tenor settings will be June 30, 2023. No successor administrator for IBA was identified in such Announcements. As a result, it is possible that commencing immediately after such dates, the London interbank offered rate for such currencies and tenors may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed a representative reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on applicable Advances. There is no assurance that the dates set forth in the Announcements will not change or that IBA or the FCA will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of any London interbank offered rate. Public and private sector industry initiatives have been and continue, as of the date hereof, to be underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of London interbank offered rates. In the event that the London interbank offered rate or any other then-current benchmark is no longer available or in certain other circumstances set forth in Section 2.15, Section 2.15 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Facility Servicer will notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.15, of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Advances is based. However, the Facility Servicer does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (1) the administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBOR” or with respect to any alternative, comparable or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including any then-current Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate (including any Benchmark Replacement), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, LIBOR or any other Benchmark, or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability or (2) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Change.

ARTICLE II.

THE FACILITY

SECTION 2.01 Advances. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Borrower may, at its option, by delivery of a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period, request that the Lenders make Advances to it in an amount which, after giving effect to such Advances, would not cause the aggregate Advances Outstanding to exceed the Maximum Availability on such date (after giving effect to any Transfer or other increase in the Borrowing Base effectuated from the use of proceeds thereof). Promptly upon receipt of such Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of the requested Advance, and such Lenders

29

shall make the Advance on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Each Advance to be made hereunder shall be made among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share. Under no circumstances shall any Lender be required to make any Advance if after giving effect to such Advance and, if applicable, the addition to the Collateral Portfolio of the Eligible Loan Assets being Transferred to the Borrower using the proceeds of such Advance, an Unmatured Event of Default, an Event of Default or Market Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing or would occur or result therefrom. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.01 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall be obligated to make any Advance in an amount that would, after giving effect to such Advance, exceed such Lender’s Commitment less the aggregate outstanding amount of any Advances funded by such Lender.

SECTION 2.02 Procedure for Advances.

(a) On any Business Day during the Availability Period, the Borrower may request that the Lenders make Advances hereunder, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Sections 2.01 and 2.02 and subject to the provisions of Article III.

(b) Each Advance shall be made upon delivery of a request for an Advance from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, with a copy to the Initial Lender, no later than 2:00 p.m. two Business Days immediately prior to the proposed date of such Advance (which shall be a Business Day) (or such shorter period of time agreed to by the Initial Lender in connection with any Advance to be made on the Closing Date), in the form of a Notice of Borrowing. Each Notice of Borrowing shall include a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate and Portfolio LTV Certificate (each updated to the date such Advance is requested and giving pro forma effect to the Advance requested and the use of the proceeds thereof), and shall specify:

30

Promptly upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of the requested Advance, and the Lenders shall make the Advance on the terms and conditions set forth herein. On the Advance Date of each Advance, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, each Lender shall, in accordance with the applicable Notice of Borrowing, make available to the Borrower, in same day funds, no later than 2:00 p.m., an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance, by payment into the account which the Borrower has designated in writing. Any funds held by the Administrative Agent shall be held uninvested.

(c) The obligation of each Lender to remit its Pro Rata Share of any Advance is several from that of each other Lender and the failure of any Lender to so make such amount available to the Borrower shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. In no event shall the Administrative Agent have any liability or obligation to fund any Advance.

SECTION 2.03 Evidence of Debt.

(a) Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower (each, a “Facility Note”), in a form approved by the Initial Lender, payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns), which shall evidence such Lender’s Advances in addition to the records set forth in Section 2.03(b).

(b) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.02 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Advances owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; provided that nothing in this Agreement gives rise to any right, expectation or other entitlement on the part of the Borrower to inspect, examine, access or visit any Wells Fargo data center, or other secure Wells Fargo facility, or to inspect, examine or otherwise access any Wells Fargo system.

(c) 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 principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each participant’s interest in the loans or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that (i) 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 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 and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have no liability or obligation to make determinations with respect to the rights of Participants hereunder. 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.

31

SECTION 2.04 Repayment; Prepayment; Termination of Commitments.

(a) The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Final Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all Advances Outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations and other obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, in each case, not then due and owing). The Borrower shall also repay the outstanding principal amount of the Advances as provided in Section 2.04(b), Section 2.04(c) and Section 2.08. During the Availability Period, the Borrower may repay and re-borrow Advances in accordance with the terms hereof. After the Availability Period ends, any Advance or portion thereof, once repaid, may not be re-borrowed.

(b) If on any Payment Date (after giving effect to the provisions of Section 2.08 on such date) or any time as provided in Section 4.02(a) the aggregate Advances Outstanding exceeds the Maximum Availability at such time, the Borrower shall repay the Advances Outstanding in an amount equal to such excess within one Business Day, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default has occurred.

(c) Unless consent is obtained with respect to a Material Modification as provided in Section 5.01(e)(i), the Value of the Loan Asset subject to such Material Modification for purposes of calculating the Value of such Loan Asset and the Total Portfolio Value and determining whether a Market Trigger Event has occurred will be (i) if the Borrower obtains a Value for such Loan Asset from an Approved External Valuation Firm within the Material Modification Grace Period for (and taking into account the effect of) such Material Modification, then such Value and (ii) otherwise, reduced by 50% until the later of (A) 90 days from the effective date of such Material Modification and (B) the date the Value of such Loan Asset is determined after (and taking into account the effect of) such Material Modification by an Approved External Valuation Firm, and thereafter will be equal to the Value of such Loan Asset as determined after such Material Modification by such Approved External Valuation Firm (as such valuation may be updated thereafter); provided that the period in clause (A) shall not cause the Value to be reduced by 50% for two consecutive Determination Dates if the Value has been determined by an Approved External Valuation Firm during such 90 day period. The Borrower acknowledges that the reduction of the Value of a Loan Asset pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) may cause a Market Trigger Event and result in repayments of the Advances Outstanding as required by Section 2.08.

(d) On any date a Market Trigger Event exists, the Borrower may, without payment of a penalty, premium or Make-Whole Amount, prepay each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances Outstanding to an amount where such Market Trigger Event is no longer continuing as described in the definition thereof, when recalculated with respect to Advances Outstanding after giving effect to such prepayment by delivering a notice of such prepayment to the Administrative Agent, with a copy to the Facility Servicer, at least one Business Day, prior to such prepayment. The Administrative Agent shall apply amounts received from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.04(d) to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances Outstanding as indicated in the notice of prepayment.

(e) The Borrower may, at its option, (i) terminate this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to terminate this

32

Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and five Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of the effective date of such termination (which termination may be, at the Borrower’s option, subject to the consummation of a refinancing of the Advances by the Borrower) and upon payment in full of all Advances Outstanding, all accrued and unpaid interest, all accrued and unpaid fees, including the Make-Whole Amount, if applicable, costs and expenses of the Secured Parties and payment in full of all other Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations and other obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, in each case, not then due and owing) or (ii) from time to time, by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer, permanently reduce in part the Maximum Facility Amount upon payment in full of any Advances Outstanding if required pursuant to Section 2.04(b), all accrued and unpaid interest on any such prepaid Advances, the Make-Whole Amount, if applicable, and all costs and expenses of the Secured Parties then due and owing. In connection with a permanent reduction of the Maximum Facility Amount in accordance with this Section 2.04(e), the Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (prior to giving effect to any reduction of Commitments hereunder) of the aggregate amount of such reduction. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice of any termination of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or any such permanent reduction to the Lenders. Any termination of this Agreement shall be subject to Section 11.05, Section 11.07, and payment of all accrued and unpaid interest, all accrued and unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Secured Parties and payment in full of all other Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations and other obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, in each case, not then due and owing).

(f) Nothing in this Section 2.04 limits the Borrower’s obligation to pay the Utilization Fees hereunder.

SECTION 2.05 Interest and Fees.

(a) The Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Advances at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Spread. Interest is payable on each Payment Date as and to the extent provided in Section 2.08. Each Advance is automatically continued in whole to the next applicable Interest Period upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

(b) If any amount payable by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate therefor. Upon the request of the Majority Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of the Advances Outstanding hereunder at the Default Rate.

(c) In no event shall either the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer or the Collateral Custodian be (i) responsible for making any decisions or determinations in connection with the availability or unavailability of LIBOR or any benchmark replacement or benchmark transition event or (ii) have any liability for any determination, decision or election made by or on behalf of the Initial Lender, the Borrower or the Majority Lenders in connection with availability or unavailability of LIBOR, the selection of any alternate benchmark rate, a benchmark transition event or a benchmark replacement, and the parties hereto waive and release any and all claims against the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer and the Collateral Custodian relating to any such determination, decision or election; provided that the foregoing provision shall not affect the Facility Servicer’s responsibility for its obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement.

33

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Advance, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Advance under Applicable Law (collectively, “charges”), exceeds the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Advance in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Advance hereunder, together with all charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. To the extent lawful, the interest and charges that would have been paid in respect of such Advance but were not paid as a result of the operation of this Section 2.05(d) shall be cumulated and the interest and charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Advance or periods shall be increased (but not above the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount shall have been received by such Lender. Any amount collected by such Lender that exceeds the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of such Advance or refunded to the Borrower so that at no time shall the interest and charges paid or payable in respect of such Advance exceed the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate.

(e) During the Availability Period, the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders an unused commitment fee (an “Unused Commitment Fee”) on the average daily unused amount of the Maximum Facility Amount in excess of the Minimum Usage Amount, if any, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to 0.30%. For purposes of computing Unused Commitment Fees, if during the period commencing on (but not including) the date occurring 18 months after the Closing Date through (and including) the last day of the Availability Period the daily used amount of the Maximum Facility Amount is less than the Minimum Usage Amount, then the daily used amount of the Maximum Facility Amount shall be deemed to be the Minimum Usage Amount. Accrued Unused Commitment Fees are payable in arrears on each Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, as provided in Section 2.08. All Unused Commitment Fees are fully earned and nonrefundable upon payment.

(f) The Borrower shall accrue and pay Utilization Fees, if any, for the period commencing on (but not including) the date occurring 18 months after the Closing Date through (and including) the last day of the Availability Period. Utilization Fees are payable on each Payment Date as provided in Section 2.08. All Utilization Fees are fully earned and nonrefundable upon payment.

(g) The Borrower shall pay the fees set forth in the Fee Letters or pursuant to Schedule VII on the terms and conditions provided therein.

(h) All computations of interest and all computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

SECTION 2.06 Payments and Computations, Etc.

(a) On each Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Facility Servicer of the interest payable hereunder on such Payment Date. All amounts to be applied by the Administrative Agent from amounts received from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.08, on the Borrower’s behalf, hereunder and in accordance with this Agreement shall be applied in accordance with the terms hereof so that funds are received by the applicable recipient thereof no later than 2:00 p.m. on the day

34

when due in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by such recipient to the Facility Servicer. Any Obligation hereunder shall not be reduced by any distribution of any portion of Collections if at any time such distribution is rescinded or required to be returned by any Lender to the Borrower, the Facility Servicer or any other Person for any reason.

(b) Other than as otherwise set forth herein, whenever any payment hereunder 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 is reflected in the computation of interest and fees.

(c) To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and (ii) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.07 Collections and Allocations.

(a) The Borrower, or the Portfolio Asset Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, shall direct (i) the Obligor and any Underlying Servicer for any Loan Asset that is not a loan participation interest to remit all Collections with respect to such Loan Asset directly to the Collection Account and (ii) any Counterparty Lender to cause the Obligor (or, to the extent applicable, such Counterparty Lender or the Underlying Servicer) for any Loan Asset that is a loan participation interest to remit all Collections with respect to such Loan Asset directly to the Collection Account. The Borrower and the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall cause the Collateral Portfolio to be serviced by Underlying Servicers such that there will be no more than ten deposits of Collections to the Collection Account between Payment Dates; provided that it will not be a breach or violation of this Section 2.07(a) the first time the Borrower or the Portfolio Asset Servicer make more than more than ten deposits of Collections to the Collection Account between Payment Dates.

(b) The Borrower shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, deposit all Collections received by the Borrower or its Affiliates with respect to the Collateral Portfolio to the Collection Account within two Business Days after receipt and shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, hold in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all such Collections until so deposited.

(c) Upon receipt of Collections in the Collection Account, the Borrower shall, or shall cause the Underlying Servicers to, promptly identify any Collections received as being on account of Principal Collections, Interest Collections or Excluded Amounts. The Borrower shall, or shall cause the Underlying Servicers to, further include a statement as to the amount of Principal Collections, Interest Collections and Excluded Amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on each Determination Date in the Servicing Report delivered pursuant to Section 8.08(a). The Borrower and the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall take commercially reasonable steps to confirm that only funds constituting Collections relating to Loan Assets are deposited into the Collection Account.

35

(d) Notwithstanding the fact that Excluded Amounts are part of the Collateral Portfolio and constitute Portfolio Assets, prior to the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control by the Administrative Agent to the Account Bank in accordance with the terms of the Account Control Agreement, the Facility Servicer may (on behalf of the Borrower) withdraw from the Collection Account any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Borrower has, prior to such withdrawal, identified to the Facility Servicer the calculation of such Excluded Amounts. After the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control in accordance with the terms of the Account Control Agreement, the Administrative Agent, upon written direction from the Majority Lenders, may withdraw from the Collection Account any deposits therein constituting Excluded Amounts.

(e) Neither the Borrower nor the Portfolio Asset Servicer has any rights of withdrawal with respect to amounts held in the Collection Account.

SECTION 2.08 Remittance Procedures. On each Payment Date, the Facility Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, shall instruct the Account Bank to remit funds on deposit in the Collection Account as described in this Section 2.08 in accordance with the Payment Date Report for such Payment Date and, to the extent funds are remitted to the Administrative Agent, shall instruct the Administrative Agent to distribute such funds as described in this Section 2.08, such funds to be received by the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. on such Payment Date; provided that, at any time after delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control pursuant to the terms of the Account Control Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Account Bank to remit funds on deposit in the Collection Account as described in this Section 2.08.

(a) Interest Collections. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Facility Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, shall (as directed pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 2.08) instruct the Account Bank to transfer Interest Collections held by the Account Bank in the Collection Account in accordance with the Payment Date Report for such Payment Date, and shall instruct the Administrative Agent to distribute such funds on such Payment Date, to the following Persons in the following amounts, calculated as of the most recent Determination Date, in the following order and priority:

36

(b) Principal Collections. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Facility Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, shall (as directed pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 2.08) instruct the Account Bank to transfer Principal Collections held by the Account Bank in the Collection Account in accordance with the Payment Date Report for such Payment Date, and shall instruct the Administrative Agent to distribute such funds on such Payment Date, to the following Persons in the following amounts, calculated as of the most recent Determination Date, in the following order and priority:

37

(c) Insufficiency of Funds. If the funds on deposit in the Collection Account are insufficient to pay any amounts otherwise due and payable on a Payment Date or otherwise, the Borrower nevertheless remains responsible for, and shall pay when due, all amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with interest accrued as set forth in Section 2.05(b) from the date when due until paid hereunder.

(d) Application of Payments after an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Facility Servicer (unless the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) directs the Facility Servicer not to apply the Collections in accordance with this Section 2.08(d)) or the Administrative Agent shall, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, instruct the Account Bank to transfer all Collections in the Collection Account to be applied in accordance with the Payment Date Report for such Payment Date and in the following order and priority:

38

(e) Instructions to the Account Bank. All instructions and directions given to the Account Bank by the Facility Servicer, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be in writing (including instructions and directions transmitted to the Account Bank by e-mail) or pursuant to an electronic transmission system established between the Facility Servicer and the Account Bank on the Closing Date. The Facility Servicer and the Borrower shall transmit to the Administrative Agent by e-mail a copy of all instructions and directions given to the Account Bank by such party pursuant to this Section 2.08 concurrently with the delivery thereof. The Administrative Agent shall transmit to the Facility Servicer and the Borrower by e-mail a copy of all instructions and directions given to the Account Bank by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.08 concurrently with the delivery thereof.

(f) No Presentment. Payment by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof shall not require presentment of any Facility Note.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and to the extent not already received by the Facility Servicer, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Facility Servicer, prior to the Reporting Date, the amount of principal and interest due on the Advances, the fees owed to the Administrative Agent (if any), and any such other information as reasonably requested by the Facility Servicer that is in the Administrative Agent’s control.

SECTION 2.09 Grant of a Security Interest.

39

under such operating agreement or other organizational documents; (iv) all dividends, distributions, capital, profits and surplus and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the foregoing; (v) all books, records and other written, electronic or other documentation in whatever form maintained now or hereafter by or for Holdings in connection with, and relating to, the ownership of, or evidencing or containing information relating to, the foregoing; and (vi) all proceeds, supporting obligations and products of any of the foregoing and all collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of any Transaction Document, recourse to Holdings shall in all events be limited to the Pledged Equity.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Collateral Portfolio and the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral Portfolio, Collateral or the Pledged Equity does not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral Portfolio, the Collateral and (iii) none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral Portfolio or Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

SECTION 2.10 Sale of Loan Assets and Release of Loan Assets.

(a) Sales. The Borrower may sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Loan Asset (a “Sale”) so long as (i) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Sale, unless such Unmatured Default would be cured by such Sale and the applications of proceeds thereof, (ii) the cash Proceeds from such Sale are deposited in the Collection Account and (iii) the conditions set forth in Section 2.10(c) for such Sale are satisfied.

(b) Release of Lien after Sale. Upon confirmation by the Facility Servicer of the deposit of the amounts set forth in Section 2.10(a) in cash into the Collection Account and the fulfillment of the other terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.10 for a Sale (such date of fulfillment, a “Release Date”), then the Loan Assets and related Portfolio Assets which are the subject of such Sale are removed from the Collateral Portfolio. Subject to compliance by the Borrower with the immediately prior sentence, on the Release Date of each subject Loan Asset and related Portfolio Assets, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, automatically and without further action shall be deemed to have released all right, title and interest and any Lien of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in, to and under such Loan Asset and related Portfolio Assets and all future monies due or to become due with respect thereto, without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind or nature. The Administrative Agent shall, upon request of the Borrower, confirm such release without further consent of any Lender or any other party.

The Borrower may obtain the release from the Lien of the Administrative Agent granted under the Transaction Documents of (a) any Loan Asset (and the related Portfolio Assets pertaining thereto) removed from the Collateral Portfolio in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.10 and (b) any Loan Asset (and the related Portfolio Assets pertaining thereto) that terminates or expires by its terms and for which all amounts in respect thereof have been paid in full by the related Obligors and deposited in the Collection Account. The Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall at the sole expense of the Borrower and at the direction of the Initial Lender, execute such documents and instruments of release as may be prepared by the Borrower and take other such actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Borrower to effect such release of the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement.

41

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, continuing or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, within ten days after the submission of the certificate contemplated by Section 2.12(c), the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Advances made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.12(a) or (b) and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the next Payment Date that is not less than 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 2.13 Taxes.

(a) Payments made by or on account of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Taxes are required by Applicable Law to be withheld (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) from any amounts payable by a Withholding Agent, then the Withholding Agent is 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 amount payable to the applicable Recipient will be increased such that the net amount of such payment after withholding for or on account of such Indemnified Taxes (including any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld in respect of such additional sums payable under this Section 2.13) is equal to the amount that would have been received by such Recipient had no such deduction or withholding been made.

42

(b) 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.

(c) The Borrower will indemnify each Recipient for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes payable by such Person in respect of, or required to be withheld from (without duplication of Section 2.13(a)), payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder, including Indemnified Taxes imposed or assessed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.13 and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect 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. All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date a written invoice therefor is delivered to the Borrower, with a copy to the Facility Servicer.

(d) Each Lender will indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer and the Collateral Custodian for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer and the Collateral Custodian for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting or expanding any obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 2.03 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 Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer and the Collateral Custodian 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 the Lender by the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer and the Collateral Custodian is conclusive absent manifest error. All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date a written invoice therefor is delivered to the applicable Lender.

(e) Within 15 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower or, at the direction of the Borrower, by the Facility Servicer from the Collection Account on behalf of the Borrower (to the extent amounts are available in the Collection Account) to the applicable Governmental Authority of any Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Borrower or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, will furnish to the Administrative Agent at the applicable address set forth on this Agreement, 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 (acting at the direction of the Initial Lender) to the extent received by the Facility Servicer or the Borrower, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, in no case or circumstance is the Facility Servicer liable to pay any Taxes under this Agreement, and if it pays any such amounts, it will solely be on behalf of the Borrower, from the Collection Account to the extent amounts are available therein.

(f) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower

43

and the Facility Servicer, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Facility Servicer, such properly completed and executed documentation or information prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate (or otherwise permit the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Facility Servicer to determine the applicable rate of withholding). In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, or the Facility Servicer, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer as will enable the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, or the Facility Servicer 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 in the case of the forms and documentation specifically described in Section 2.13(e)(i), (e)(ii), and (e)(iv)) shall only be required if, in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will provide such additional information that the Borrower may have to assist the Administrative Agent in making any withholdings or informational reports.

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender (including any assignee thereof) that is not a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Facility Servicer two properly completed and duly executed copies of whichever (if any) of the following is applicable for claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payment by the Borrower under this Agreement: (i) IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (claiming the benefits of an applicable tax treaty), IRS Form W-8IMY, IRS Form W-8EXP or IRS Form W-8ECI or (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest” a statement substantially in the form of the applicable Exhibit H to the effect that such Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and a Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, in each case (A) with any required attachments (including, with respect to any Lender that provides an IRS Form W-8IMY, any of the forms or other documentation described in clauses (i) and (ii) above for any of the direct or indirect owners of such Lender) and (B) any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender five Business Days prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent).

(ii) In addition, each Lender (including any assignee thereof) that is U.S. Person shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Facility Servicer two copies of IRS Form W-9, properly completed and duly executed and claiming complete exemption from U.S. backup withholding. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender five Business Days prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent).

(iii) A Lender that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of

44

the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer), 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, the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iv) 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 Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Facility Servicer at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Facility Servicer such documentation prescribed by law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Facility Servicer as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Facility Servicer to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.13(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

(v) In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon becoming aware or receiving notice of the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Facility Servicer at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Facility Servicer (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to deliver. The Facility Servicer is entitled to withhold all amounts required to be withheld by Applicable Law from any payment hereunder to any Lender until such Lender shall have furnished to the Facility Servicer any requested forms, certificates, statements or documents. For the purposes of this Section 2.13(e), “Lender” shall include any other recipients of payments on the Collateral as directed by any Lender to the Facility Servicer.

(vi) Any Administrative Agent that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower a duly completed copy of IRS Form W-9, or any subsequent versions or successors to such form, certifying that such Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. Such forms shall be delivered by the Administrative Agent five (5) Business Days prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement.

Each party to this Agreement agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.13(f) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Facility Servicer in writing of its legal ability to do so.

(g) If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes for which it was indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.13 or with respect to which

45

the Borrower or the Facility Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, in each case, has paid Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or the Facility Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, in each case, under this Section 2.13 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including additional Taxes, if any) of such Lender, as the case may be, incurred in obtaining such refund, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, shall repay to such Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.13(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.13(g), in no event will the Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.13(g) the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender 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 paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(h) If the IRS or any Government Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent or any other Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify promptly the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Person as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all reasonable expenses incurred.

(i) The Lenders and any transferees or assignees thereof after the Closing Date will be required to provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or its agents all information, documentation or certifications reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.13 hereof to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with any tax reporting obligations under Applicable Laws, including any applicable cost basis reporting obligations.

Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 2.13 survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

SECTION 2.14 Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office (if available for such Lender) for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices or branches (if available for such Lender), if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, as the case may be, in the future and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon receipt of such estimate, the Borrower may approve the proposed designation or assignment, in which case the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to effect the same. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

46

SECTION 2.15 Benchmark Replacement.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Facility Servicer and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Facility Servicer) has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.15 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Facility Servicer 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, (i) no Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes shall become effective until the Administrative Agent confirms that it is capable of being operationally implemented by the Administrative Agent. In no event shall any changes pursuant to this Section 2.15, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, affect the rights, indemnities or obligations of the Administrative Agent.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Facility Servicer will promptly notify the Administrative Agent, 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 and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Facility Servicer or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.15, 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, 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 hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.15.

(d) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may no longer request Advances and all current outstanding Advances shall continue at LIBOR that was in effect immediately prior to such date.

47

SECTION 2.16 Defaulting Lenders

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

48

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and (if not a Defaulting Lender) the Initial Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower will 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 will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) 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 and (ii) 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.

(c) Termination of Defaulting Lender. The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than ten Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.15(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.17 Increase in Commitments.

(a) On or prior to the 18 month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders), request an increase in the Commitments (each such increase, an “Incremental Commitment”) to an aggregate amount of $250,000,000 or such higher amount as mutually agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders.

(b) An Incremental Commitment may be provided by any existing Lender or any new lender (each such Lender or lender, an “Incremental Lender”); provided that each new Incremental Lender is subject to the consent of the Borrower and the Initial Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no existing Lender has any obligation to agree to increase its Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.17 and any election to do so will be in the sole discretion of such Lender.

(c) The Administrative Agent (in accordance with the direction of the Initial Lender) and the Borrower shall determine the effective date for such increase pursuant to this Section 2.17 (an “Incremental Commitment Effective Date”) and, if applicable, the final allocation of such increase among the Persons providing such increase; provided that such date must be a Business Day at least ten Business Days after delivery of the request for such increase (unless otherwise approved by the Initial Lender). To effect such increase, the Borrower, the applicable Incremental Lenders and, at the direction of the Initial Lender, Administrative Agent (but no other Lenders or other Persons (except to the extent required in order to give effect to such Incremental Commitment)) shall enter into one or more agreements or amendments to this Agreement (including a joinder to this Agreement), each in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Initial Lender, pursuant to which the applicable Incremental Lenders will provide the Incremental Commitments. Effective as of the applicable Incremental Commitment Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.17, each Incremental Commitment is a Commitment (and not a separate facility hereunder), must have identical terms, including pricing of the initial Commitments and the Advances made by the applicable Incremental Lenders on such Incremental Commitment Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.17(e) are Advances, for all purposes of this Agreement.

49

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.17 is not effective with respect to any Incremental Lender unless:

As of such Incremental Commitment Effective Date, upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the documents required by this Section 2.17(d), the Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in the applicable agreement contemplated above in the Register and give prompt notice of the increase in the Commitments to the Borrower and the Lenders (including each Incremental Lender).

(e) On each Incremental Commitment Effective Date, if there are Advances then outstanding, the Borrower is deemed to prepay such Advances and deemed to re-borrow Advances from the Incremental Lenders, as is necessary in order that, after giving effect to such deemed prepayments and borrowings, all Advances will be held ratably by the Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share after giving effect to the applicable Incremental Commitments and the Lenders shall make such payments or adjustments as are equitable so that the Advances will be held ratably by the Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share after giving effect to the applicable Incremental Commitments (or, if the Lenders otherwise agree, the Lenders, including the Incremental Lenders, may assign portions of the outstanding Advances to accomplish the same result).

50

SECTION 2.18 Extension of Availability Period.

(a) On or prior to the date occurring 30 days prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders), extend the ending date of the Availability Period (as described in clause (a) of the definition thereof) to the four year anniversary of the Closing Date. Upon the effective extension of the ending date of the Availability Period pursuant to this Section 2.18, the Scheduled Maturity Date is automatically extended to the ninth year anniversary of the Closing Date.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of the Availability Period pursuant to this Section 2.18 is not effective unless:

ARTICLE III.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and after the delivery of notice to Holdings) or upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 6.01(e) (without notice), all rights of Holdings to make dividends or other distributions that Holdings is authorized to receive pursuant to Section 6.02(a)(ii) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends or other distributions; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, Holdings may make Permitted REIT Distributions solely from Interest Collections during the continuance of an Event of Default so long as it is not an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a), (e) or (i). All dividends or other distributions received by Holdings contrary to the provisions of this Section 6.02(b) shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of Holdings and shall be promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02(b) shall be retained by the Administrative Agent in the Collection Account and shall be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. After all Events of Default have been waived or are no longer continuing, the Administrative Agent, upon written direction of the Majority Lenders, shall promptly repay to Holdings (without interest) all dividends or other distributions that Holdings would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of Section 6.02(a)(ii) and that remain in such account.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and after the delivery of notice to Holdings) or upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 6.01(e) (without notice), then (i) all rights of Holdings to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6.02(a)(i) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit Holdings to exercise such rights and (ii) in order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder, Holdings shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Administrative Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request. After all Events of Default have been waived, Holdings shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting or consensual rights and powers that Holdings would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section 6.02(a)(i).

(d) Any notice given by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower or Holdings under this Section 6.02 shall be given in writing.

SECTION 6.03 Additional Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and without limiting the remedies provided in this Article VI, the Administrative Agent shall, at the direction of the

72

Majority Lenders, (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral or the Pledged Equity at public or private sales and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale or disposition, (ii) instruct the obligor or obligors on any account, agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting Collateral or Pledged Equity to make any payment required by the terms of such account, agreement, instrument or other obligation to or at the direction of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders), (iii) give notice of sole control or any other instruction under the Account Control Agreement and take any action therein with respect to Collateral subject thereto, (iv) in accordance with Section 6.02, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Equity, exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Equity for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, including exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Pledged Equity, and otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Equity as though the Administrative Agent was the absolute owner thereof and (v) in accordance with Section 6.02, collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made on any Pledged Equity.

(b) Any Collateral or Pledged Equity to be sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to this Article VI may be sold or disposed of in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable), for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Any sale or disposition of Collateral or Pledged Equity may be made without the Administrative Agent giving warranties of any kind with respect to such sale or disposition and the Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. The Administrative Agent may comply with any applicable State or federal law requirements in connection with a sale or disposition of the Collateral or Pledged Equity and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale or disposition. If any notice of a proposed sale or disposition of the Collateral or Pledged Equity is required by law, such notice is deemed commercially reasonable and proper if given at least ten days before such sale or disposition. The Administrative Agent has the right upon any public sale of Collateral or Pledged Equity and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale of Collateral or Pledged Equity, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral or Pledged Equity so sold or disposed of free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Borrower hereby waives. Upon any sale or disposition of Collateral or Pledged Equity, the Administrative Agent has the right to deliver and transfer to the purchaser or transferee thereof the Collateral or Pledged Equity so sold or disposed of.

(c) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the written request of the Facility Servicer or the Administrative Agent (acting at the written direction of the Majority Lenders), the Borrower shall furnish the Facility Servicer and Administrative Agent, as applicable, with an appropriate power of attorney to send (at the written direction of the Majority Lenders) notification forms to the Obligors or any agent, administrative agent, Counterparty Lender, Underlying Servicer or issuer of a Portfolio Asset of the Administrative Agent’s interest in the Collateral and the obligation to make payments as directed by the Administrative Agent (acting at the written direction of the Majority Lenders).

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement (including this Article VI) shall be subject to the special servicing activities provisions in Section 8.06.

73

ARTICLE VII.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 7.01 Appointment and Authority.

(a) The duties of the Administrative Agent will be performed by the Person designated as Administrative Agent from time to time in accordance with this Section 7.01. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article VII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, and no Loan Party has rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Transaction Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize and empower the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver on their behalf the Transaction Documents and all related agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate as determined by the Majority Lenders in good form and in the forms presented to the Administrative Agent as of the date hereof in order to effectuate the purposes of the Transaction Documents and any such other related agreements, documents and instruments.

(c) Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of an Administrative Agent Termination Notice from the Majority Lenders of the designation of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.05, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will terminate its activities as Administrative Agent hereunder.

SECTION 7.02 Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

74

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it or errors in judgment made (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Article VI and Section 11.01), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any default, Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or event or information, or be required to act upon any default, Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or event or information (including the sending of any notice) unless a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice or has actual knowledge of such default, Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or event or information, and shall have no duty to take any action to determine whether any such event, default, Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred. Delivery of any reports, information and documents to the Administrative Agent provided for herein is for informational purposes only and the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such reports (including monthly distribution reports) and any publicly available information, shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) the contents or accuracy of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith and shall not be required to recalculate, certify or verify any information therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Knowledge of the Administrative Agent shall not be attributed or imputed to Wells Fargo’s other roles in the transaction and knowledge of the Collateral Custodian shall not be attributed or imputed to the Administrative Agent (other than those where the roles are performed by the same group or division within Wells Fargo or otherwise share the same Responsible Officers), or any affiliate, line of business, or other division of Wells Fargo (and vice versa).

(e) Any organization or entity into which the Administrative Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any organization or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Administrative Agent shall be a party, or any organization or

75

entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Administrative Agent, or of any business line or product type within the corporate trust business of the Administrative Agent, shall be the successor of the Administrative Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

(f) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages), including lost profits, 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 Advance, or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(g) Before the Administrative Agent acts or refrains from taking any action under this Agreement, it may require an officer’s certificate or an opinion of counsel (which may come from internal counsel) from the party requesting that the Administrative Agent act or refrain from acting in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such officer’s certificates or opinions of counsel.

(h) The Administrative Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties, or the exercise of any of its rights or powers.

(i) The Administrative Agent shall incur no liability if, by reason of any provision of any future law or regulation thereunder, or by any force majeure event, including but not limited to any (i) provision of any present or future law or regulation or act of any governmental authority, (ii) any act of God, (iii) natural disaster, (iv) war, (v) terrorism, (vi) civil unrest, (vii) labor dispute, (viii) disease, (ix) epidemic or pandemic, (x) quarantine, (xi) national emergency, (xii) utility failure, (xiii) computer hardware or software failure, (xiv) malware or ransomware attack, (xv) communications system failure, (xvi) unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex system or other applicable wire or funds transfer system, or (xvii) unavailability of any securities clearing system, the Administrative Agent shall be prevented or forbidden from doing or performing any act or thing which the terms of this Agreement provide shall or may be done or performed, or by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(j) The right of the Administrative Agent to perform any permissive or discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement or any related document shall not be construed as a duty.

(k) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for, and makes no representation or warranty as to, the validity, legality, enforceability, sufficiency or adequacy of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any related document, or as to the correctness of any statement contained in any thereof. The recitals contained herein and in the other Transaction Documents shall be construed as the statements of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall not be accountable for the Borrower’s use of the Advances or any money paid to the Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Borrower in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document.

76

(l) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action or inaction of a Loan Party, the Facility Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Lenders, the Portfolio Asset Servicer or any other party (or agent thereof) to this Agreement or any related document and may assume compliance by such parties with their obligations under this Agreement or any related agreements, unless a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary at the office of the Administrative Agent set forth in Section 11.02.

(m) The rights, benefits, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded the Administrative Agent hereunder shall extend to the Administrative Agent (in any of its capacities) under any other Transaction Document or related agreement as though set forth therein in their entirety mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 7.03 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, opinion, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or experts. As to any matters not expressly provided for by any Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under any Transaction Document in accordance with instructions given by the Initial Lender or, if provided in this Agreement, in accordance with the instructions given by the Majority Lenders or all Lenders as is required in such circumstance, and such instructions of such Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

SECTION 7.04 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Transaction Document by or through any one or more agents, sub-agents, affiliates or attorneys appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such agents, sub-agents, affiliates or attorneys may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VII shall apply to any such party and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such party. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the supervision, negligence or misconduct of any agent, sub-agents or attorney appointed by it with due care.

SECTION 7.05 Resignation and Removal of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative 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 Initial Lender shall have the right to appoint a successor with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that the consent of the Borrower is not required when an Event of Default has occurred and is

77

continuing). If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Initial Lender and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Initial Lender) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and (ii) except for any fees, expenses and indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Initial Lender appoints a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to fees, expenses and indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Article VII and Section 11.07 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(c) The Majority Lenders by 90 days written notice to the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent Termination Notice”) may terminate all of the rights, obligations, power and authority of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. On and after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an Administrative Agent Termination Notice, the Administrative Agent shall continue to act in such capacity until the date specified in the Administrative Agent Termination Notice (such date not to exceed 90 days after the date of such notice) or otherwise specified by the Majority Lenders in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Administrative Agent Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Majority Lenders, until a date mutually agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders. Upon any such removal, the Borrower and the Majority Lenders acting jointly shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent (provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required after the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been delivered to the Initial Lender and the Borrower within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the removed Administrative Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. No such removal shall become effective until a successor Administrative Agent shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 7.01. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to Section 2.08, any Fees accrued until such termination date as well as any other fees, amounts, expenses or indemnities it is entitled to pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and any Fee Letter (the “Administrative Agent Termination Expenses”). To the extent amounts held in the Collection Account and paid in accordance with

78

Section 2.08 are insufficient to pay the Administrative Agent Termination Expenses, the Borrower (and to the extent the Borrower fails to so pay, the Lenders) agree to pay the Administrative Agent Termination Expenses within 10 Business Days of receipt of an invoice therefor. After the earlier of (i) the termination date specified in the Administrative Agent Termination Notice and (ii) 30 days thereafter as provided above, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will terminate its activities as Administrative Agent hereunder in a manner that the Majority Lenders believe will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to a successor Administrative Agent, and the successor Administrative Agent shall assume each and all of the Administrative Agent’s obligations under this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, and the Administrative Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the successor Administrative Agent in assuming such obligations.

SECTION 7.06 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 7.07 Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Article X or Section 11.07 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders to make payments pursuant to this Section 7.07 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any such payment on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its payment under this Section 7.07.

SECTION 7.08 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to a Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

79

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 11.07.

SECTION 7.09 Collateral Matters.

(a) Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (i) as provided in Section 2.11 or (ii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.01. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Majority Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property. In each case as specified in this Section 7.09, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the Facility Servicer such documents as the Facility Servicer may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents and this Section 7.09.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, for the legality, enforceability, effectiveness or sufficiency of the Transaction Documents, the existence, priority, creation, validity, enforceability or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by the Borrower, the Facility Servicer or the Portfolio Asset Servicer in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral or the Lien thereon.

(c) It is understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent (i) shall have no responsibility with respect to the determination of whether any Pledged Equity is certificated or uncertificated and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall only be responsible for holding Pledged Equity to the extent actually received.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall monitor any UCC financing statements filed by the Initial Lender in connection with this Agreement solely to the extent that the Initial Lender provides such financial statements to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Initial Lender when the time-period to file continuation statements for such financing statements has commenced and at least 60 days prior to the date such financing statements would terminate; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no liability or obligation to file any such continuation statements. The

80

Administrative Agent shall have no other duty to see to, or be responsible for the correctness or accuracy of, any recording, filing or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein, or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refilling or re-depositing of any thereof.

SECTION 7.10 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under Section 7.10(b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer or any of their Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) (provided, that, without limiting any other rights or remedies (whether at law or in equity), the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer may not make any such demand under this clause (a) with respect to an Erroneous Payment unless such demand is made within 30 days of the date of receipt of such Erroneous Payment by the applicable Payment Recipient), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) from such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer to any Payment Recipient under this Section 7.10(a) is conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting Section 7.10(a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer or any of their Affiliates (i) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer or any of their Affiliates, as applicable, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment (a “Payment Notice”), (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice or (iii) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

81

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.10(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 7.10(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c) Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer to such Lender or Secured Party from any source, against any amount that the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, has demanded to be returned under Section 7.10(a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with Section 7.10(a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s or the Facility Servicer’s request to such Lender at any time, then effectively immediately, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) on a cashless basis at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption Agreement by reference pursuant to an approved electronic platform as to which the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Term Loan Notes evidencing such Advances to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Term Loan Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the

82

Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (v) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest or the Facility Servicer’s ownership interest, as applicable, in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, may, in their discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent and/or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, provided that this Section 7.10 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply, to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 7.10 survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

ARTICLE VIII.

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF COLLATERAL PORTFOLIO

SECTION 8.01 Appointment and Designation of the Applicable Servicer

(a) Initial Applicable Servicer.

(i) The Borrower and the Lenders hereby appoint Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as Facility Servicer, with the authority to service, administer and exercise rights and remedies, on behalf of the Borrower, in respect of the Collection Account, and to take the actions required of it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and responsibilities of the Facility Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof until such time as it resigns or is removed as Facility Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Facility Servicer and the Borrower hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties are third party beneficiaries of the obligations undertaken by the Facility Servicer hereunder.

(ii) The Facility Servicer and the Lenders hereby appoint the Borrower, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as Portfolio Asset Servicer, with the authority to oversee and supervise the Underlying Servicers, in respect of the payments to the Borrower under the Collateral Portfolio that are to be Collections, and to take the actions required of it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. The Borrower hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and responsibilities of the Portfolio Asset Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof until such time as it resigns or is removed as Portfolio Asset Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Portfolio Asset Servicer and the Borrower hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties are third party beneficiaries of the obligations undertaken by the Portfolio Asset Servicer hereunder.

(b) Servicer Termination Notice. The Borrower, each Applicable Servicer and the Administrative Agent hereby agree that, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Administrative Agent, by written notice to an Applicable Servicer (a “Servicer Termination Notice”), shall, upon the direction of the Majority Lenders, terminate all of the rights, obligations, power and authority of such Applicable Servicer under this Agreement. On and after the receipt by such Applicable Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice pursuant to this Section 8.01(b), such Applicable Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent (upon the direction of the Majority Lenders) in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent (upon direction of the Majority Lenders), until a date mutually agreed upon by such Applicable Servicer and the Administrative Agent (upon direction of the Majority Lenders). If such Applicable Servicer is the Facility Servicer, such Applicable Servicer shall be entitled to receive, to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to Section 2.08, the fees accrued until such termination date as well as any other fees, amounts, expenses or indemnities it is entitled to pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the Facility Servicing Fee Letter (collectively, the “Servicer Termination Expenses”). To the extent amounts held in the Collection Account and paid in accordance with Section 2.08 are

84

insufficient to pay the Servicer Termination Expenses, the Borrower (and to the extent the Borrower fails to so pay, the Lenders based on their Pro Rata Share) agree to pay the Servicer Termination Expenses within ten Business Days of receipt of an invoice therefor. On the termination date specified in this Section 8.01(b), such Applicable Servicer agrees that it will terminate its activities as Facility Servicer or Portfolio Asset Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time, the Borrower, believes will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to a Replacement Servicer, and the Replacement Servicer shall assume each and all of such Applicable Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, and such Applicable Servicer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Replacement Servicer in assuming such obligations.

(c) Appointment of Replacement Servicer. At any time following the delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice with respect to the Facility Servicer or receipt of any notice of resignation of the Facility Servicer under Section 8.09, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) shall, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such consent not being required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint a new Facility Servicer (the “Replacement Facility Servicer”), which appointment shall take effect upon the Replacement Facility Servicer accepting such appointment by a written assumption in a form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time, the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, following the delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice with respect to the Portfolio Asset Servicer or receipt of any notice of resignation of the Portfolio Asset Servicer under Section 8.09, the Borrower shall, with the consent of Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a new Portfolio Asset Servicer (the “Replacement Portfolio Asset Servicer;” the Replacement Portfolio Asset Servicer and the Replacement Facility Servicer are each a “Replacement Servicer”), which appointment shall take effect upon the Replacement Portfolio Asset Servicer accepting such appointment by a written assumption in a form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) and, the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) may exercise the foregoing appointment rights with respect to the Replacement Portfolio Asset Servicer on behalf of the Borrower. Any Replacement Servicer shall be an established financial institution, having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of assets similar to the Collateral Portfolio.

(d) Liabilities and Obligations of Replacement Servicer. Upon its appointment, any Replacement Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to such Applicable Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on such Applicable Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to such Applicable Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Replacement Servicer; provided that any Replacement Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect to any action performed by the prior Applicable Servicer prior to the date that the Replacement Servicer becomes the successor to such Applicable Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the prior Applicable Servicer, (ii) no obligation with respect to any Taxes on behalf of the Borrower, except for any payment made out of the Collection Account as provided in Section 2.13, (iii) no obligation

85

to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the transactions contemplated hereby and (iv) no liability or obligation with respect to any prior Applicable Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Applicable Servicer. The indemnification obligations of the Replacement Servicer upon becoming an Applicable Servicer, are expressly limited to those arising on account of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, or the failure to perform materially in accordance with its duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement.

(e) Authority and Power. All authority and power granted to an Applicable Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate on the Facility Termination Date and shall pass to and be vested in the Borrower thereafter. Each Applicable Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Borrower in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of each Applicable Servicer to conduct servicing of this Agreement (including the right to direct remittances out of the Collection Accounts).

(f) Subcontracts. The Facility Servicer may subcontract with any other Person for servicing and administering in respect of the payments to the Borrower or the Portfolio Asset Servicer under the Collateral Portfolio that are to be Collections under this Agreement; provided that (A) the Facility Servicer shall select any such Person with reasonable care and shall be solely responsible for the fees and expenses payable to any such Person, (B) the Facility Servicer shall not be relieved of, and shall remain liable for, the performance of the duties and obligations of the Facility Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof without regard to any subcontracting arrangement and (C) any such subcontract shall be terminable upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event.

The Portfolio Asset Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to oversee and administer the Underlying Servicers in respect of the payments to the Borrower under the Collateral Portfolio from time to time that are to be Collections, all in accordance with Applicable Law and the Servicing Standard and to take the actions of the Portfolio Asset Servicer under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

In the event the Facility Servicer requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Facility Servicer does not receive a response (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten Business Days of such Person’s receipt of such request, then such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.

(c) The Facility Servicer shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, the Facility Servicer (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (ii) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith (other than by the Facility Servicer), (C) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the performance or observance by any party (other than the Facility Servicer) of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, (D) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Facility Servicer (if any) and (iii) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents for relying on any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

(d) The Facility Servicer shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, opinion, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person, or to inquire as to or verify the veracity of any information or statement made or contained therein. The Facility Servicer also may rely upon any statement made to it

89

orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Facility Servicer may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. As to any matters not expressly provided for by any Transaction Document, the Facility Servicer shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under any Transaction Document in accordance with instructions given by the Administrative Agent, Initial Lender or, if provided in this Agreement, in accordance with the instructions given by the Majority Lenders or all Lenders as is required in such circumstance, and such instructions of such Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

SECTION 8.04 Authorization of the Portfolio Asset Servicer.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer and each Lender hereby authorizes the Portfolio Asset Servicer (including any successor thereto) to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable in the determination of the Portfolio Asset Servicer and not inconsistent with the security interest of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral, to cause the Underlying Servicers to collect all amounts due under the Collateral Portfolio, including endorsing any of their names on checks and other instruments representing Collections, executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral Portfolio and, after the delinquency of any Loan Asset, and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall furnish the Portfolio Asset Servicer (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Portfolio Asset Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Portfolio Asset Servicer to the fullest extent in order to facilitate the collectability of the Collateral Portfolio. In no event shall the Portfolio Asset Servicer be entitled to make the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent or any Lender a party to any litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make the Borrower a party to any litigation (other than any routine foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent’s (at the direction of the Majority Lenders) consent. In the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall not be obligated to take, or to refrain from taking, any action which the Borrower or any Lender requests that the Portfolio Asset Servicer take or refrain from taking to the extent that the Portfolio Asset Servicer determines in its reasonable and good faith judgment that such action or inaction (i) may cause a violation of applicable laws, regulations, codes, ordinances, court orders or restrictive covenants with respect to any Loan Asset, the Borrower or any Obligor, (ii) may cause a violation of any provision of this Agreement, a Fee Letter or a Required Loan Document or any other Transaction Document or (iii) may be a violation of the Servicing Standard.

(b) After the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the direction of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders), the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall cause the Underlying Servicers to take such action as the Majority Lenders may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Loan Assets; provided that the Administrative Agent may (at the direction of the Majority Lenders), at any time that an Event of Default has occurred, notify the Obligor, agent, administrative agent, Counterparty Lender or Underlying Servicer, as applicable, with respect to any Loan Asset of the assignment of such Loan Asset to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the

90

Secured Parties and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due thereunder be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or account designated by the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) may enforce collection of any such Loan Asset, and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.

SECTION 8.05 Collection of Payments; Accounts.

(a) Collection Efforts, Modification of Collateral Portfolio. The Portfolio Asset Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect or cause to be collected, all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Loan Assets included in the Collateral Portfolio as and when the same become due, all in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Portfolio Asset Servicer may not waive, modify or otherwise vary any provision of a Loan Asset in any manner contrary to the Servicing Standard. If the Portfolio Asset Servicer does not receive from the related Underlying Servicer, Counterparty Lender or Obligor the payments to be paid to the Borrower or the Portfolio Asset Servicer as Collections on the date when such payments are scheduled to be made (to the extent the Portfolio Asset Servicer has received such payment information from the Underlying Servicer), the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall promptly notify the Borrower and such Underlying Servicer, Counterparty Lender or Obligor.

(b) Collection Account. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (i) the Collection Account is intended to be a “securities account” or a “deposit account” within the meaning of the UCC of the State of New York and (ii) only the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer and the Account Bank shall be entitled to exercise the rights with respect to the Collection Account and only the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer have the right to direct the disposition of funds in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 2.08. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees to cause the Account Bank to agree with the parties hereto that regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC of the State of New York, with respect to the Collection Account, New York shall be deemed to be the Account Bank’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of such UCC). The Borrower shall provide the Servicer and the Initial Lender with online “read-only” access to the Collection Account and ensure that such access remains in effect until the Facility Termination Date. Funds held in the Collection Account may be invested in Permitted Investments under, and as defined in, the Account Control Agreement.

(c) Loan and Participation Agreements. Notwithstanding any term hereof to the contrary, none of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Custodian shall be under any duty or obligation in connection with the acquisition by the Borrower of, or the grant of a security interest by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in, any Loan Asset to examine or evaluate the sufficiency of the documents or instruments delivered to it by or on behalf of the Borrower under the related Loan Agreements or Participation Agreements, or otherwise to examine the Loan Agreements and Participation Agreements, in order to determine or compel compliance with any applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including any necessary consents). The Collateral Custodian shall hold any instrument delivered to it evidencing any Loan Asset granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder as custodial agent for the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Adjustments. If (i) the Portfolio Asset Servicer makes a deposit into the Collection Account in respect of a Collection of a Loan Asset and such Collection was received by the Portfolio Asset Servicer in the form of a check that is not honored for any reason or (ii) the Portfolio Asset Servicer makes

91

a mistake with respect to the amount of any Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Collection, the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake. Any payment required to be made by an Obligor on a Loan Asset or Underlying Loan Obligation, as applicable, in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.

SECTION 8.06 Realization Upon Loan Assets.

(a) Consistent with the applicable Loan Agreement or Participation Agreement, the Portfolio Asset Servicer will monitor efforts of each Counterparty Lender or Underlying Servicer with respect to any Loan Asset as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and any analysis by such Counterparty Lender or Underlying Servicer proposing a course of action to maximize value with respect to any related Underlying Collateral, including whether to hold for value, sell or transfer any equity or other securities it has received in connection with a default, workout, restructuring or plan of reorganization with respect to the related Underlying Loan Obligations. After the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Portfolio Asset Servicer will comply with the applicable Loan Agreement and Participation Agreement and Applicable Law in directing a Counterparty Lender or Underlying Servicer to realize upon Underlying Collateral, and employ practices and procedures, to direct the related Counterparty Lender or Underlying Servicer to enforce the obligations of Obligors by foreclosing upon, repossessing and causing the sale of such Underlying Collateral at public or private sale.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Facility Servicer shall not take any action with respect to the Collateral Portfolio, nor shall it be required to take any actions, relating to any special servicing activities (it being understood and agreed that the Facility Servicer shall determine whether any obligations or actions of the Facility Servicer expressly set forth in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall constitute special servicing activities), except to the extent (i) agreed to between the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Facility Servicer, pursuant to a separate fee letter agreement and (ii) the parties to such fee agreement agree to address any conflicts presented by such performance of special servicing activities reasonably requested by the Facility Servicer.

SECTION 8.07 Payment of Certain Expenses. The Borrower (or the Facility Servicer on its behalf to the extent amounts are available in the Collection Account), shall be required to pay all fees and expenses owing to any financial institution in connection with the maintenance of the Collection Account. The Facility Servicer shall be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder (including out-of-pocket expenses paid by the Facility Servicer on behalf of the Borrower), subject to the availability of funds pursuant to Section 2.08; provided that, to the extent funds are not available for such reimbursement, the Facility Servicer shall be entitled to repayment of such expenses from the Borrower and if the Borrower fails to so reimburse the Facility Servicer, the Facility Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Lenders (and each Lender hereby agrees to so reimburse the Facility Servicer as provided herein) within ten Business Days of receipt of an invoice therefor.

SECTION 8.08 Reports.

(a) Servicing Report. On each Reporting Date, the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall provide (or cause the Underlying Servicers to provide) to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer a monthly report (a “Servicing Report”) containing the information set forth on (and substantially

92

in the form of) Exhibit F, including (i) a certification from the Portfolio Asset Servicer (or the applicable Underlying Servicer) that a copy of each amendment, restatement, supplement, waiver or other modification to the Loan Agreement of any Loan Asset has been provided in accordance with Section 8.08(d), (ii) the Outstanding Principal Balance of all Loan Assets as of the applicable Determination Date, (iii) the identification of Principal Collections, Interest Collections or Excluded Amounts, (iv) the amounts to be transferred from the Collection Account pursuant to Sections 2.08(a)(i) and 2.08(a)(iv) and a description of the Taxes, registration and filing fees and operating expenses to be paid with such amounts, (v) the amounts of any Permitted REIT Distributions to be made on the related Payment Date, including a calculation thereof, and (vi) the proposed amounts to be remitted pursuant to Section 2.08 to the applicable Persons thereunder on the related Payment Date (which amounts are subject to the approval by the Facility Servicer).

(b) Payment Date Report. On each Reporting Date, the Facility Servicer shall provide to the Administrative Agent, the Account Bank and the Initial Lender a Payment Date Report containing the information set forth therein and including the amounts to be remitted pursuant to Section 2.08 to the applicable Persons thereunder on the related Payment Date (which shall include any applicable wiring instructions of the parties receiving such payment) with respect to such Payment Date.

(c) Obligor Financial Statements; Valuation Reports; Other Reports.

Each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Custodian to act as its agent and hereby authorizes the Collateral Custodian to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly granted to the Collateral Custodian by this Agreement; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no liability with respect to such appointment. The Collateral Custodian hereby accepts such agency appointment to act as Collateral Custodian pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, until its resignation or removal as Collateral Custodian pursuant to the terms hereof. Wells Fargo will perform its duties as Collateral Custodian hereunder through its Document Custody division (including, as applicable, any agents or affiliates appointed thereby).

(b) Successor Collateral Custodian. Upon the Collateral Custodian’s receipt of a Collateral Custodian Termination Notice from the Administrative Agent of the designation of a successor Collateral Custodian pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.05, the Collateral Custodian agrees that it will terminate its activities as Collateral Custodian hereunder in accordance with the terms of Section 9.05.

SECTION 9.02 Duties of Collateral Custodian

(a) Duties. The Collateral Custodian shall perform, on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the following duties and obligations:

(i) The Collateral Custodian shall take and retain custody of the Loan Asset Files and the Required Loan Documents delivered by the Borrower or the Portfolio Asset Servicer pursuant to Section 5.01(f), all for the benefit of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties. Within five Business Days of receipt of any Required Loan Documents (if the Collateral Custodian receives no more than 10 Loan Asset Files during such five Business Day period) or within a reasonable timeframe as mutually agreed upon (if the Collateral Custodian receives more than 10 Loan Asset Files during such five Business Day period), the Collateral Custodian shall review such Required Loan Documents to confirm that (A) the principal amount and the Obligor name on the applicable Loan Agreement and any related promissory note matches that on the Loan Asset Schedule and the Loan Asset number on the applicable Loan Agreement matches that on the Loan Asset Schedule, as applicable, (B) such Required Loan Documents, have been executed (either an original or a copy, as indicated on the related Loan Asset Checklist), appear to relate to such Loan Asset and have no mutilated pages, (C) filed copies of the UCC financing statements and other filings identified on the related Loan Asset Checklist are included and (D) if listed on the related Loan Asset Checklist, a copy of an Insurance Policy or insurance certificate with respect to any real or personal property constituting the Underlying Collateral for such Loan Asset is included (the items to be reviewed pursuant to this sentence, collectively, the “Review Criteria”). In order to facilitate the foregoing review by the Collateral Custodian, in connection with each delivery of a Loan Asset File hereunder to the Collateral Custodian, the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall provide (or cause the Underlying Servicers to provide) to the Collateral Custodian a hard copy (which may

95

be preceded by an electronic copy and separately uploaded by the Borrower or the Underlying Servicers or their respective designee to the designated CTSLink.com; provided that each .pdf document will be identified with the loan number in the format “LoanNumber.DocumentName.pdf” (example, 12345.mortgage.pdf)) of the related Loan Asset Checklist which contains the Loan Asset information with respect to the Loan Asset File being delivered, identification number and the name of the Obligor with respect to such Loan Asset. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Custodian’s obligation to review the Loan Asset File shall be limited to the Review Criteria and based on the information provided on the related Loan Asset Checklist. If, at the conclusion of such review, the Collateral Custodian shall determine that (1) the principal balance of the Loan Asset with respect to which it has received the Loan Asset File does not match the principal balance set forth on the Loan Asset Schedule, the Collateral Custodian shall notify the Administrative Agent, Initial Lender and the Facility Servicer of such discrepancy within one Business Day or (2) any other Review Criteria is not satisfied, the Collateral Custodian shall within one Business Day notify the Borrower, Administrative Agent, Initial Lender and the Facility Servicer of such determination and provide the Borrower and Facility Servicer with a list of the non-complying Loan Assets and the applicable Review Criteria that they fail to satisfy. The Borrower shall have ten Business Days after notice or knowledge thereof to correct any non-compliance with any Review Criteria. In addition, if requested in writing by the Borrower or Portfolio Asset Servicer in accordance with Section 9.08 and approved by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) within ten Business Days of the Collateral Custodian’s delivery of such report, the Collateral Custodian shall return any Loan Asset File which fails to satisfy a Review Criteria to the Borrower. Other than the foregoing, the Collateral Custodian shall not have any responsibility for reviewing any Loan Asset File.

(ii) In taking and retaining custody of the Loan Asset Files, the Collateral Custodian shall be deemed to be acting as the agent of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties; provided that (A) the Collateral Custodian makes no representations as to the existence, perfection or priority of any Lien on the Loan Asset Files or the instruments therein and (B) the Collateral Custodian’s duties shall be limited to those expressly contemplated herein.

(iii) All Loan Asset Files shall be continually stored in fire resistant vaults, rooms or cabinets at the locations specified as the address of the Collateral Custodian in Section 11.02, or at such other office as shall be specified to the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer and the Borrower by the Collateral Custodian in a written notice delivered at least 30 days prior to such change. The Collateral Custodian shall segregate the Loan Asset Files on its inventory system.

(iv) On each Reporting Date following the first delivery of Required Loan Documents to the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Custodian shall provide a written report to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Facility Servicer (in a form mutually agreeable to the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Initial Lender), the Borrower and the Collateral Custodian) identifying each Loan Asset for which it holds a Loan Asset File and the applicable Review Criteria that any Loan Asset File fails to satisfy. The Borrower shall have ten Business Days after notice or knowledge thereof to correct any non-compliance with any Review Criteria.

(v) The Collateral Custodian has no duties or obligations other than those specifically set forth herein or as may subsequently be agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

96

(vi) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in the Transaction Documents, the Collateral Custodian shall not have any fiduciary relationship with any party hereto or any Secured Party in its capacity as such, and no implied covenants, functions, obligations or responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Custodian. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby expressly agreed and stipulated by the other parties hereto that the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to exercise any discretion hereunder and shall have no investment or management responsibility.

(i) The Collateral Custodian agrees to cooperate with the Administrative Agent, Facility Servicer and the Portfolio Asset Servicer regarding the delivery of any Loan Asset File to the Facility Servicer, Portfolio Asset Servicer or Administrative Agent (pursuant to a written request in the form of Exhibit G), as applicable, as requested in order to take any action that the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) or the Facility Servicer deems necessary or desirable in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including any rights arising with respect to Article VI. In the event the Collateral Custodian receives instructions from the Facility Servicer or the Portfolio Asset Servicer which conflict with any instructions received by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall rely on and follow the instructions given by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) The Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Initial Lender) may direct the Collateral Custodian to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Custodian hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Administrative Agent; provided that the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Custodian, (A) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (B) shall expose the Collateral Custodian to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received indemnity which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto). In the event the Collateral Custodian requests the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days of its receipt of such request, then the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.

(iii) The Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Collateral Custodian, or the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including an Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Custodian has actual knowledge of such matter or written notice thereof is received by the Collateral Custodian.

97

(iv) In performing its duties, the Collateral Custodian shall comply with the standard of care and express terms of this Agreement with respect to the collateral that it holds hereunder.

SECTION 9.03 Merger or Consolidation. Any Person (a) into which the Collateral Custodian may be merged or consolidated, (b) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Custodian shall be a party or (c) that may succeed to all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Collateral Custodian substantially as a whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Collateral Custodian hereunder, shall be the successor to the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.

SECTION 9.04 Collateral Custodian Compensation. As compensation for its Collateral Custodian activities hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to the fees as set forth on Schedule VII, payable pursuant to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.08; provided that if such amounts are insufficient then Sections 9.12 and 11.07 shall be applicable. The Collateral Custodian’s entitlement to receive its fees shall cease on the earlier to occur of (i) its removal as Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 9.05, (ii) its resignation as Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 9.07 of this Agreement or (iii) the termination of this Agreement; provided that the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to any fees accrued and payable up to such date to the extent not previously paid.

SECTION 9.05 Collateral Custodian Removal. The Administrative Agent may (upon the direction of the Majority Lenders) terminate all of the rights, obligations, power and authority of the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement by giving at least 30 days advance written notice thereof to the Collateral Custodian, the Facility Servicer, the Portfolio Asset Servicer and the Borrower (such notice, the “Collateral Custodian Termination Notice”). On and after the receipt by the Collateral Custodian of a Collateral Custodian Termination Notice, the Collateral Custodian shall continue to act in such capacity until the date specified in the Collateral Custodian Termination Notice (such date not to exceed 30 days after the date of such notice) or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Majority Lenders) in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Collateral Custodian Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Majority Lenders), until a date mutually agreed upon by the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Majority Lenders). Upon any such removal, the Majority Lenders shall appoint a successor Collateral Custodian; provided that the consent of the Borrower shall be required to appoint any such successor, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If no successor Collateral Custodian shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Collateral Custodian shall not have been delivered to the Majority Lenders and the Borrower within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the removed Collateral Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Custodian and all fees, out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses of outside counsel) incurred by the Collateral Custodian, in connection with any such petition shall be paid or otherwise reimbursed to the Collateral Custodian by Borrower. No such removal shall become effective until a successor Collateral Custodian shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Collateral Custodian in accordance with this Section 9.05. The Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to receive, to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to Section 2.08, any Fees accrued until such termination date as well as any other fees, amounts, expenses or indemnities it is entitled to pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and any Fee Letter (the “Collateral Custodian Termination Expenses”). To the extent amounts

98

held in the Collection Account and paid in accordance with Section 2.08 are insufficient to pay the Collateral Custodian Termination Expenses, the Borrower (and to the extent the Borrower fails to so pay, the Lenders) agree to pay the Collateral Custodian Termination Expenses within ten Business Days of receipt of an invoice therefor. After the earlier of (a) the termination date specified in the applicable Collateral Custodian Termination Notice and (b) 30 days thereafter as provided above, the Collateral Custodian agrees that it will terminate its activities as Collateral Custodian hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Majority Lenders) and prior written consent of the Borrower (provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required after the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default) believes will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to a successor Collateral Custodian, and the successor Collateral Custodian shall assume each and all of the Collateral Custodian’s obligations under this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, and the Collateral Custodian shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the successor Collateral Custodian in assuming such obligations. The cost of shipping any Loan Asset Files arising out of the removal of the Collateral Custodian shall be an expense of the Borrower. With respect to any Electronic Loan Asset Files upon the removal of the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Custodian will remove from its possession and shall delete all Electronic Loan Asset Files held in its possession pursuant to this Agreement and in accordance with the Collateral Custodian’s customary retention and purging policies and procedures of electronic files and data.

The Borrower (or the Portfolio Asset Servicer on its behalf) may require that the Collateral Custodian return each Loan Asset File (a) delivered to the Collateral Custodian in error or (b) released from the Lien of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.11, in each case by submitting to the Collateral Custodian a written request in the form of Exhibit G (signed by the Borrower or the Portfolio Asset Servicer, as applicable) specifying the Loan Asset File to be so returned and reciting that the conditions to such return have been met (and specifying the Section or Sections of this Agreement being relied upon for such return). The Collateral Custodian shall upon its receipt of each such request for return executed by the Borrower or the Portfolio Asset Servicer, as applicable, promptly, but in any event within five Business Days, return the Loan Asset File so requested to the Borrower or the Portfolio Asset Servicer.

103

SECTION 9.10 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Collateral Portfolio; Audits of the Portfolio Asset Servicer. The Collateral Custodian shall provide to the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer, the Portfolio Asset Servicer and the Borrower access to the Loan Asset Files and all other documentation regarding the Collateral Portfolio including in such cases where the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer, the Portfolio Asset Servicer or the Borrower is required in connection with the enforcement of the rights or interests of the Secured Parties, or by applicable statutes or regulations, to review such documentation, such access being afforded without charge but only (a) upon two Business Days prior written request, (b) during normal business hours and (c) subject to the Collateral Custodian’s normal security and confidentiality procedures. Periodically on and after the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer may review the Portfolio Asset Servicer’s collection and administration of the Loan Asset Files in order to assess compliance by the Portfolio Asset Servicer with the Servicing Standard, as well as with this Agreement and may conduct an audit of the Loan Asset Files in conjunction with such a review. Such review shall be reasonable in scope and shall be completed in a reasonable period of time. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.10, from time to time upon at least two Business Days prior written notice to the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Custodian shall permit Persons appointed by the Portfolio Asset Servicer or the Facility Servicer to conduct, at the expense of the Borrower, a review of the Loan Asset Files and all other documentation regarding the Collateral Portfolio not more than one time per calendar year for such Applicable Servicer.

SECTION 9.11 Bailment. The Collateral Custodian agrees that, with respect to any Loan Asset File at any time or times in its possession, the Collateral Custodian is the agent and bailee of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, for purposes of perfecting (to the extent not otherwise perfected) the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral Portfolio and for the purpose of ensuring that such security interest is entitled to first priority status under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.12 Indemnification of the Collateral Custodian. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Collateral Custodian from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and court costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Collateral Custodian in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, including those incurred in connection with any action, claim or suit brought by the Collateral Custodian to enforce its rights to indemnification, or any action taken or omitted by the Collateral Custodian hereunder or thereunder; provided that (a) the Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Collateral Custodian’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction and (b) no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Lenders, the Lenders or the Borrower shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Article IX. The indemnification provided for in this Section 9.12 survives the resignation or removal of the Collateral Custodian or the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.13 Borrower’s Certification. Solely as between the Borrower and the Collateral Custodian, the Borrower hereby certifies to the Collateral Custodian that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary

104

in this Agreement, the review contemplated by this Article IX (the “Review”) is a review to be performed by the Collateral Custodian solely for the purpose of acknowledging receipt of Loan Asset Files by the Collateral Custodian from the Borrower. Any custodial certification (the “Certification”) related to such Review prepared by the Collateral Custodian and furnished to the Borrower is produced solely in connection with this purpose. The Borrower did not engage the Collateral Custodian to perform the Review, produce the Certification or perform any of the services in this Agreement for the purpose of making findings with respect to the accuracy of the information or data regarding the Loan Asset Files provided to the Collateral Custodian by the Borrower for the Review as contemplated by Rule 17g-10 under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”). Given the purpose and scope of the Collateral Custodian’s services with respect to the Borrower under this Agreement (including the Review and any Certification) and given the Borrower’s treatment and use of the Review and Certification, the Borrower and the Collateral Custodian agree that the Collateral Custodian’s Review is not commonly understood in the market to be “due diligence services” for purposes of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act. The Borrower does not consider the Review and the Certification to be “due diligence services” for purposes of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act, and unless the Borrower notifies the Collateral Custodian to the contrary, the Borrower will not treat the Certification as a “third-party due diligence report” for purposes of Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Collateral Custodian is relying on this certification for purposes of determining that its Review does not constitute “due diligence services” under Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act.

ARTICLE X.

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 10.01 Indemnities by the Borrower.

(a) Without limiting any other rights which the Secured Parties, the Collateral Custodian or any of their respective Affiliates may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Borrower shall indemnify the Secured Parties, the Collateral Custodian and each of their respective Affiliates, assigns, officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party” for purposes of this Article X) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable external attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”), incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of (i) this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or in respect of the transactions contemplated thereby or with respect to any of the Collateral, (ii) any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, (iii) any Advance or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or (v) any action, claim or suit brought by an Indemnified Party to enforce its right to indemnification, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of an Indemnified Party as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 10.01(a) does not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

105

(b) Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.01 shall be paid by the Borrower to the applicable Indemnified Party within 30 days following receipt by the Borrower of such Indemnified Party’s written demand therefor.

(c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 10.01 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (in each case, other than as a result of the express limitations set forth therein), then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(d) If the Borrower has made any payments in respect of Indemnified Amounts to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 10.01 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Borrower in an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts, without interest.

(e) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.01 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer, the Portfolio Asset Servicer or the Collateral Custodian or the termination or assignment of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.02 Legal Proceedings. In the event an Indemnified Party becomes involved in any action, claim, or legal, governmental or administrative proceeding (an “Action”) for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other party or parties against whom it seeks indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the nature and particulars of the Action; provided that its failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure has a material adverse effect on the Indemnifying Party. Upon written notice to the Indemnified Party acknowledging in writing that the indemnification provided hereunder applies to the Indemnified Party in connection with the Action, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of the Action at its expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel in connection with the Action, and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party after the Indemnifying Party has done so; provided that if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the Action, or that the Indemnifying Party is not conducting the defense of the Action in a manner reasonably protective of the interests of the Indemnified Party, the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Action, it shall have full control over the conduct of such defense; provided that the Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall, as reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party or its counsel, consult with and keep them informed with respect to the conduct of such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle an Action without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement provides for the full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in connection with the Action. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Action. Each applicable Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time after such Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by such Indemnified Party relating to the claim giving rise to the Indemnified Amounts.

106

SECTION 11.04 Binding Effect; Assignability; Multiple Lenders.

Each Lender and their respective successors and assigns may assign, or grant a security interest in, (i) this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and interest herein in whole or in part or (ii) any Advances or Commitment (or portion thereof) to any Eligible Assignee; provided that other than during the continuance of an Event of Default, the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), shall be required for a Lender to assign to any Person that is not an Affiliate of such Lender. Any such assignee shall execute and deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer a fully-executed Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The parties to any such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in its books and records, such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties and the Administrative Agent. Neither the Loan Parties, the Facility Servicer nor the Portfolio Asset Servicer may assign, or permit any Lien to exist upon, any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any Transaction Document or any interest herein or in any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of the Lenders unless otherwise contemplated hereby. Each Lender may sell a participation in its interests hereunder as provided in Section 11.04(d).

108

(c) Each Indemnified Party shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (except as required under this Section 11.04(d)), sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or, so long as no Bankruptcy Event exists with respect to a Loan Party, a Direct Competitor) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Advances owing to it); provided that such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) such Lender shall register such participation in its Participant Register pursuant to Section 2.03(c).

SECTION 11.09 Execution in Counterparts; Severability; Integration. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by e-mail in portable document format (.pdf) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. In the event that any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement and any agreements or letters (including Fee Letters) executed in connection herewith contains the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

This Agreement shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (a) an original manual signature, (b) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature or (c) any other electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the

Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the UCC of any relevant jurisdiction or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings.

SECTION 11.10 Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Process.

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.

(b) Each party hereto agrees that service of process may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party at its address specified in Section 11.02 or at such other address as the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in accordance herewith. Nothing in this Section 11.10 shall affect the right of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 11.12 Waiver of Set Off.

SECTION 11.15 Failure of Borrower to Perform Certain Obligations.

115

Portfolio; (k) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document; (l) to cause the certified public accountants then engaged by the Borrower to prepare and deliver to the Attorney at any time and from time to time, promptly upon Attorney’s request, any reports required to be prepared by or on behalf of the Borrower under the Transaction Documents, all as though Attorney were the absolute owner of the Borrower’s property for all purposes, and, to the extent set forth in the this Agreement, to do, at Attorney’s option and the Borrower’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and other things that Attorney reasonably deems necessary to perfect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Liens of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, thereon (including the execution and filing of UCC financing statements and continuation statements as provided by the terms of the Loan and Servicing Agreement), all as fully and effectively as the Borrower might do, (m) to make all necessary transfers of the Pledged Equity in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant to the Loan and Servicing Agreement; (n) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition of the Pledged Equity, Holdings hereby ratifying and confirming all that such Attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do or cause to be done hereunder and pursuant hereto; and (p) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document to the extent related to the Pledged Equity, all as though Attorney were the absolute owner of the Pledged Equity for all purposes, and, to the extent set forth in the Loan and Servicing Agreement, to do, at Attorney’s option (acting at the written direction of the Majority Lenders) and Borrower’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and other things reasonably necessary to perfect, preserve or realize upon the Pledged Equity and the Liens of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, thereon, all as fully and effectively as Holdings might do. The Borrower hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. No person to whom this power of attorney is presented, as authority for Attorney to take any action or actions contemplated hereby, shall inquire into or seek confirmation from such Loan Party as to the authority of Attorney to take any action described below, or as to the existence of or fulfillment of any condition to this power of attorney, which is intended to grant to Attorney unconditionally the authority to take and perform the actions contemplated herein, and such Loan Party irrevocably waives any claim against any person or entity that acts in reliance in good faith upon the authority granted under this power of attorney with respect to such reliance. The power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and may not be revoked or canceled by such Loan Party until the Facility Termination Date.

SECTION 11.17 Delivery of Termination Statements, Releases, etc. Upon the occurrence of the Facility Termination Date, the Administrative Agent shall, upon written direction, execute and deliver to the Portfolio Asset Servicer and the Borrower termination statements, reconveyances, releases and other documents and instruments of release as are necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of the Liens securing the Obligations, all at the expense of the Borrower.
