Section 4.2Limited Pledge of Servicing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the pledge of Borrower’s right, title and interest in mortgage servicing rights under Approved Servicing Agreements with a Designated Agency shall only secure Borrower’s debt to the Lender incurred under a facility used in whole or in part for the purposes of, or to refinance a facility used in whole or in part for the purposes of, purchasing Mortgage Loan servicing rights; provided, that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall be deemed automatically supplemented or amended if and to the extent such Designated Agency supplements or amends the corresponding requirement, whether in its rules, regulations, guides, Servicing Agreements, Acknowledgment Agreements, or published announcements or otherwise waives or grants exceptions from such requirement, and in each instance, with the same substantive force and effect; and provided further that the security interest created hereby with respect to the Agency Servicing Rights is subject to the following provision to be included in each financing statement filed in respect hereof:

Section 4.3Acknowledgment Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, all terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of each Acknowledgement Agreement. To the extent that any conflict necessarily exists or shall be adjudged to exist between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and those of an applicable Acknowledgment Agreement, solely with respect to the relationship and agreements between Borrower, Lender and a Designated Agency, the terms and provisions of such Acknowledgment Agreement shall govern and control.

Section 4.4Lender Requires Acknowledgment Agreements and Consent Agreements. Pledged Servicing Rights under Servicing Agreements with any Agency will have a Market Value of zero for purposes of determining Collateral Value (a) upon the earlier of (i) the termination or (ii) expiration of the Acknowledgment Agreement covering such Pledged Servicing Rights and (b) until a replacement Acknowledgment Agreement covering such Pledged Servicing Rights has been executed and delivered by the Borrower the Lender and an Agency.

Section 4.5Further Assurances Concerning Collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing, Borrower hereby agrees to perform, or cause to be performed, such acts and duly to authorize, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record (or cause such actions to be taken with respect to) such financing statements, assignments, security agreements, deeds of trust, mortgages, bond powers and supplements, modifications or amendments to any of them, and such other papers as the Lender may reasonably request in order to establish and preserve the priority of, perfect and protect the Liens granted or intended to be granted to the Lender in and

to any and all such Collateral and to preserve and protect the Lender’s rights in respect of all present and future Collateral for the Obligations.

Section 4.6Financing Statements Filing Authorization. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender, at any time and from time to time, to file at Borrower’s cost and expense in any filing office in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements and continuations thereof and amendments thereto, including amendments to update the lists of Pledged Servicing Agreements attached as exhibits to such financing statements whenever such lists are updated, that (a) indicate the Servicing Collateral, regardless of whether any particular asset in the Servicing Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC, and (b) provide any other information required for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment. Borrower agrees to furnish any such information to the Lender promptly upon the Lender’s request.

Section 4.7Borrower Remains Liable. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Borrower expressly agrees that it shall (a) remain liable under each of the Pledged Servicing Agreements and related agreements included in the Servicing Collateral to keep, observe and perform all of the conditions and obligations to be kept, observed and performed by Borrower (or any predecessor in interest) thereunder and (b) perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions of each such agreement. The Lender shall not have any obligation or liability under any such agreement by reason of, or arising out of, this Agreement or the granting to the Lender of a Lien therein or the receipt by the Lender of any payment relating to any such agreement.

Section 4.8Rights after Occurrence of Default. After the occurrence of any Event of Default that the Lender has not declared in writing to have been cured or waived, the Lender shall have the following rights (but no obligations):

(a)in its discretion, to demand, sue for, collect or receive and receipt for (in its own name, in the name of Borrower or otherwise) any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of any of the Collateral, in consideration of its transfer or in exchange for it;

(b)to direct, and to take any and all other steps necessary to cause, any Servicer of any of the Collateral to pay over directly to the Lender for the account of Borrower (instead of to Borrower or any other Person) all sums from time to time due to Borrower and to take any and all other actions that Borrower or the Lender has the right to take under Borrower’s contract with such Servicer;

(c)to request that Borrower forthwith pay to the Lender at its Principal Office all amounts thereafter received by Borrower upon or in respect of any of the Collateral, advising the Lender as to the sources of such funds, and if the Lender does so request, then Borrower shall diligently and continuously thereafter comply with such request.

(d)All amounts so received and collected by the Lender shall be paid or applied to pay (i) fees owing under the Loan Documents, (ii) the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in collecting or enforcing the Revolving Credit Note and the other Loan Documents, defending against any claims made in respect of the Loan Documents or any related transactions, protecting or realizing on Collateral and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest on and principal of the Revolving Credit Note; and

(e)Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a non-exclusive license to use Borrower’s operating systems to manage and administer the Pledged Servicing Rights and any of the data and information relating thereto, together with the media that is owned by Borrower and on which the same are stored to the extent stored with material information or data that relates to property other than the Pledged Servicing Rights (tapes, discs, cards, drives, flash memory or any other kind of physical or virtual data or information storage

media or systems, and Borrower’s rights to access the same, whether exclusive or nonexclusive, to the extent that such access rights may lawfully be transferred or used by Borrower’s permittees), and any computer programs that are owned by Borrower (or licensed to Borrower under licenses that may lawfully be transferred or used by Borrower’s permittees) and that are used to access, organize, input, read, print or otherwise output and otherwise handle or use such information and data, in each case effective solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to the extent necessary to enable Lender to realize on the Collateral and any permitted successor or assign to enjoy the benefits of the Collateral.  Such license is granted free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever including, without limitation, any royalty or license fee, be made to Borrower or any other Person by Lender or any other Person. Such license shall automatically terminate upon (i) the termination of this Agreement or (ii) payment in full of all Obligations and the termination of the Revolving Credit Note;

Section 4.9Attorney-In-Fact Appointment. Borrower hereby appoints the Lender as its attorney-in-fact to take all such steps in its name and behalf as are necessary or appropriate to (i) request that any Pledged Servicing Right related to any Agency or any other investor be transferred to the Lender or to another approved servicer approved such Agency or such other investor (as the case may be) and perform (without assuming or being deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of Borrower thereunder) all aspects of each servicing contract that is Collateral, (ii) request distribution to the Lender of sale proceeds or any applicable contract termination fees arising from the sale or termination of such servicing rights and remaining after satisfaction of Borrower’s relevant obligations to such Agency or such other investor (as the case may be), including costs and expenses related to any such sale or transfer of such servicing rights and other amounts due for unmet obligations of Borrower to such Agency or such other investor (as the case may be) under applicable Agency Guideline or such other investor’s contract, (iii) deal with investors and any and all subservicers and master servicers in respect of any of the Collateral in the same manner and with the same effect as if done by Borrower and (iv) take any action and execute any instruments that the Lender deems necessary or advisable to accomplish any of such purposes, and such appointment shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for so long as any of the Obligations shall be unpaid or Lender shall have any outstanding commitment to lend or to extend any other financial accommodations to or for the account of Borrower. Such appointment shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any Person (including the issuer of such Collateral or any officer or agent thereof), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Section 4.10Periodic Valuations of Servicing Rights. The value of all Pledged Servicing Rights to the Lender shall be periodically determined as provided in Section 7.14 by an Approved Servicing Appraiser and the Borrowing Base shall be adjusted to reflect each such determination and updating of the value of such Collateral; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the Lender shall have the right, exercisable from time to time (daily or less often) in its sole discretion on any day after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default to mark the Pledged Servicing Rights to market, whereupon, for purposes of determining the Collateral Value for that day (and for each day thereafter until it shall thereafter be evaluated or re-evaluated by such an approved appraiser or broker or again marked to market by the Lender) such Pledged Servicing Rights shall be equal to 50.0% of its Market Value on that day (which the parties acknowledge may be nominal). Borrower acknowledges that a determination by the Lender of Market Value pursuant to this

Agreement is for the limited purpose of determining Collateral Value for lending purposes under this Agreement without the ability to perform customary purchaser’s due diligence and is not necessarily equivalent to a determination of the fair market value of Collateral achieved by obtaining competing bids in an orderly market in which the servicer is not in default, insolvent or the subject of a case in bankruptcy and the bidders have adequate opportunity to perform customary diligence.

Section 4.11Collections in General. After the occurrence of any Event of Default that the Lender has not declared in writing to have been cured or waived, the Lender shall have the right (but no obligation) in its sole discretion to take any or all of the following actions with respect to the Collateral, which rights are in addition to, and not in derogation or in lieu of, any other rights available to a secured creditor under any applicable law, rule, or regulation or any order, writ, injunction, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator:

(a)Demand, sue for, collect or receive and receipt for (in its own name, in the name of Borrower or otherwise) any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of any of the Collateral, in consideration of its transfer or in exchange for it;

(b)Request Borrower to pay over to the Lender all sums from time to time due Borrower under or in respect of the Approved Servicing Agreements (excluding the Minimum Servicing Compensation (as defined in the Acknowledgment Agreement)), including any and all fees and other compensation under the Approved Servicing Agreements for servicing the Serviced Loans, and to take any and all other actions that, subject to any restrictions imposed by the relevant Approved Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the party to it on whose behalf the Serviced Loans are being serviced (to the extent that such restrictions are valid and enforceable under the applicable UCC and other Laws), Borrower or the Lender has the right to take under that Servicing Agreement, and if the Lender does so request, then Borrower shall diligently and continuously thereafter comply with such request; and

(c)Request that Borrower forthwith pay to the Lender at its principal office all amounts thereafter received by Borrower upon or in respect of any of the Collateral, whether paid to Borrower or withheld or recovered by Borrower from collections and realizations on the Serviced Loans or any other source, advising the Lender as to the source of such funds, and if the Lender does so request, then Borrower shall diligently and continuously thereafter comply with such request.

Section 4.12Setoff. Subject to the Agency’s Interest or the owner of any related Mortgage Loan in the case of Non-Agency Servicing Rights, if an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the right to set off and apply against the Obligations in such manner as Lender may determine, at any time and without notice to Borrower or any Obligated Party, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) or other sums at any time credited by or owing from Lender to Borrower or any Obligated Party whether or not the Obligations are then due. As further security for the Obligations, Borrower and each Obligated Party hereby grant to Lender a security interest in all money, instruments, and other Property of Borrower and each Obligated Party now or hereafter held by Lender, but expressly excluding Property held in escrow on behalf of Customers or in safekeeping for delivery to an Agency or the owner, as applicable. In addition to Lender’s right of setoff and as further security for the Obligations, Borrower and each Obligated Party hereby grant to Lender a security interest in all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and other accounts of Borrower or any Obligated Party now or hereafter on deposit with or held by Lender and all other sums at any time credited by or owing from Lender to Borrower or any Obligated Party. The rights and remedies of Lender hereunder are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which Lender may have.

Section 4.13Schedules 4.1(a)(2). For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower shall list Agency Servicing Rights that are Pledged to Lender on Schedule 4.1(a)(2). Borrower shall, along with each Borrowing Base Report, deliver to Lender any updates to Schedule 4.1(a)(2).

Borrower and each Obligated Party (a) is duly formation, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation or organization; (b) has all requisite power and authority to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted; and (c) is

Neither Borrower nor any other Obligated Party has any material contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments except as referred to or reflected in such financial statements. No Material Adverse Event has occurred since the effective date of the financial statements referred to in this Section 6.2. All projections delivered by Borrower and each Obligated Party to Lender have been prepared in good faith, with care and diligence and use assumptions that are reasonable under the circumstances at the time such projections were prepared and delivered to Lender and all such assumptions are disclosed in the projections.

Section 6.4Operation of Business.

Borrower and each Obligated Party possess all licenses, permits, franchises, patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade names, or rights thereto, necessary to conduct its respective businesses substantially as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted, and neither Borrower nor any Obligated Party is in violation of any valid rights of others with respect to any of the foregoing. Borrower and the Servicers (if any) of its Mortgage Loans are duly registered as mortgage lenders and servicers in each state in which Mortgage Loans have been or are from time to time originated, to the extent such registration is required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation or any order, writ, injunction, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator, except where the failure to register could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Event.

Section 6.5Litigation and Judgments.

Except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 6.5 as of the date hereof, there is no action, suit, investigation, or proceeding before or by any Governmental Authority or arbitrator pending, or to the knowledge of Borrower or any Obligated Party, threatened against or affecting Borrower or any

Section 6.7Enforceability.

This Agreement constitutes, and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower or any other Obligated Party is a party, when delivered, shall constitute legal, valid, and binding obligations of such Person, enforceable against such Person in accordance with their respective terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights.

Section 6.8Approvals.

No authorization, approval, or consent of, and no filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority or third party is or will be necessary for the execution, delivery, or performance by Borrower or any other Obligated Party of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Person is or may become a party or the validity or enforceability thereof.

Section 6.9Taxes.

Borrower and each Obligated Party has filed all income and other material tax returns required to be filed, and has paid all of their respective liabilities for income and other material taxes, assessments, governmental charges, and other levies (in each case, in the nature of a tax) that are due and payable. Borrower and each Obligated Party knows of no pending investigation of Borrower or any Obligated Party by any taxing authority or of any pending but unassessed tax liability of Borrower or any Obligated Party.

Section 6.10Use of Proceeds; Margin Securities.

Neither Borrower nor any Obligated Party is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying “margin stock” (within the meaning of Regulations T, U, or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). The proceeds of any Borrowing will be used by Borrower solely for the purposes specified in Section 2.4. None of such proceeds will be used to purchase or carry any “margin stock”, or to reduce or retire any indebtedness originally incurred to purchase or carry “margin stock” or for any other purpose that might constitute this transaction a “purpose credit” within the meaning of such Regulation U. Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stocks. Neither Borrower nor any Person acting on behalf of Borrower has taken or will take any action that might cause the Revolving Credit Note or any of the other Loan Documents, including this Agreement, to violate Regulation U or any other regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate Section 7 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or regulation thereunder, in each case as now in effect or as the same may hereinafter be in effect.

(a)Without the Lender’s prior written consent, Borrower shall not execute any amendments to any Servicing Agreement that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the value of any Collateral or to reduce or delay payment or collection of amounts due Borrower from or in respect of any Collateral and Borrower will provide a copy of every supplement, amendment, restatement or replacement of any of such Servicing Agreements to the Lender promptly (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days) after the same shall become effective other than any such supplements or amendments that are imposed by the Agency on all servicers through the Guide or otherwise.

(q)Borrower’s rights to service Mortgage Loans for any one or more investors under Servicing Agreements the value of which rights to Borrower (as reasonably estimated by the Lender) equals or exceeds 5.00% of the aggregate principal amount of Borrower’s Servicing Portfolio shall be terminated for cause (i.e., on account of act(s) or omission(s) by Borrower for which the holder, or a trustee for the holder, of the relevant Serviced Loans has the right under such Servicing Agreement to terminate such servicing rights);

Section10.2Remedies Upon Default.

If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then Lender may without notice terminate the Commitment or declare the Obligations or any part thereof to be immediately due and payable, or both, and the same shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, without notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, protest, or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 10.1(e) or (f), the Commitment shall automatically terminate, and the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, in each case without notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, protest, or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower. In addition to the foregoing, if any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender may exercise all rights and remedies available to it in law or in equity, under the Loan Documents, or otherwise.

Section10.3Application of Funds.

After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 10.2 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by Lender in such order as it elects in its sole discretion.

Section10.4Performance by Lender.

If Borrower shall fail to perform any covenant or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, then Lender may perform or attempt to perform such covenant or agreement on behalf of Borrower. In such event, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, promptly pay to Lender any amount expended by Lender in connection with such performance or attempted performance, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and including the date of such expenditure to but excluding the date such expenditure is paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any covenant, agreement, or other obligation of Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section11.1Expenses.

Borrower hereby agrees to pay on demand: (a) all costs and expenses of Lender in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any and all amendments, modifications, renewals, extensions, and supplements thereof and thereto, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel, advisors, consultants, and auditors for Lender; (b) all costs and expenses of Lender in connection with any Default or Event of Default and the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of legal counsel, advisors, consultants, and auditors for Lender; (c) all transfer, stamp, documentary, or other similar taxes, assessments, or charges levied by any Governmental Authority in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (d) all costs, expenses, assessments, and other charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording, or perfection of any Lien contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (e) all other costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any litigation, dispute, suit, proceeding or action; the enforcement of its rights and remedies, and the protection of its interests in bankruptcy, insolvency or other legal proceedings, including, without limitation, all costs, expenses, and other charges (including Lender’s internal charges) incurred in connection with evaluating, observing, collecting, examining, auditing, appraising, selling, liquidating, or otherwise disposing of the Collateral or other assets of Borrower.

Section11.2INDEMNIFICATION.

BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY LENDER AND EACH AFFILIATE THEREOF AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AND AGENTS FROM, AND HOLD EACH OF THEM HARMLESS AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) TO WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY BECOME SUBJECT WHICH DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISE FROM OR RELATE TO (A) THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, PERFORMANCE, ADMINISTRATION, OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (B) ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (C) ANY BREACH BY BORROWER OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT, OR OTHER AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (D) THE PRESENCE, RELEASE, THREATENED RELEASE, DISPOSAL, REMOVAL, OR CLEANUP OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIAL LOCATED ON, ABOUT, WITHIN, OR AFFECTING ANY OF THE PROPERTIES OR ASSETS OF BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR ANY OTHER OBLIGATED PARTY, OR (E) ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY THREATENED INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING, RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OF ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH PERSON TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED FROM AND HELD HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE SOLE CONTRIBUTORY OR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH PERSON.

Section11.3Limitation of Liability.

Neither Lender nor any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by Borrower or any other Obligated Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue Lender or any of Lender’s Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section11.4No Duty.

All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Lender shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Lender and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to Borrower or any of Borrower’s equity holders, Affiliates, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, or any other Person.

Section11.5Lender Not Fiduciary.

The relationship between Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower and Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

Section11.6Equitable Relief.

Borrower recognizes that in the event Borrower fails to pay, perform, observe, or discharge any or all of the Obligations, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lender. Borrower therefore agrees that Lender, if Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

Section11.7No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

No failure on the part of Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

Section11.8Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and Borrower and its successors and assigns, except that Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights, duties, or obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Lender.

Section11.9Survival.

All representations and warranties made in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any document, statement, or certificate furnished in connection with this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and no investigation by Lender or any closing shall affect the representations and warranties or the right of Lender to rely upon them.

. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

Section11.20Additional Interest Provision.

It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the indebtedness evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note, any Loan Document, and the Related Indebtedness (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under applicable law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (a) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received pursuant to the Revolving Credit Note, any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (b) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by reason of Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Revolving Credit Note and/or any and all indebtedness paid or payable by Borrower to Lender pursuant to any Loan Document other than the Revolving Credit Note (such other indebtedness being referred to in this Section as the “Related Indebtedness”), or (c) Borrower will have paid or Lender will have received by reason of any voluntary prepayment by Borrower of the Revolving Credit Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Revolving Credit Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (or, if the Revolving Credit Note and all Related Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Revolving Credit Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if the Revolving Credit Note or Related Indebtedness has been paid in full before the end of the stated term thereof, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, either refund such excess interest to Borrower and/or credit such excess interest against the Revolving Credit Note and/or any Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking

usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Revolving Credit Note to which the alleged violation relates and/or the Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note and/or the Related Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of the Revolving Credit Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Revolving Credit Note and/or the Related Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Revolving Credit Note and/or the Related Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Revolving Credit Note and/or any of the Related Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

Section11.21Ceiling Election.

To the extent that Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Maximum Rate payable on the Revolving Credit Note and/or any other portion of the Indebtedness, Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303. To the extent United States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.

Section11.22USA Patriot Act Notice.

Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and each other Obligated Party, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and each other Obligated Party and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower and each other Obligated Party in accordance with the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation. In addition, Borrower agrees to (a) ensure that no Person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower is or shall be listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List or other similar lists maintained by the OFAC, the Department of the Treasury or included in any Executive Order, (b) not to use or permit the use of proceeds of the Obligations to violate any of the foreign asset control regulations of the OFAC or any enabling statute or Executive Order relating thereto, and (c) comply, or cause its Subsidiaries to comply, with the applicable laws.

Section11.23NOTICE OF FINAL AGREEMENT.
