All Secured Obligations shall be due and payable in full on the Termination Date.

(b) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on

the day when due in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds in accordance with the Agent’s instructions. If the Borrower fails to make any payment or deposit required to be made by it hereunder when due, the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Agent interest on such amount at the Default Funding Rate, payable on demand; provided, however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Any Secured Obligation hereunder shall not be reduced by any distribution if such distribution is rescinded or required to be returned to the Borrower or any other Person for any reason. All computations of Interest, Facility Fees, and other 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. All such computations shall be made by the Agent, which computations by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. All payments to be made by any MF/Borrower Related Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.

(c) 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 shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of Interest, Facility Fees or any other interest or fee payable hereunder, as the case may be.

Section 2.08. Fees.

(a) The Borrower shall pay the Agent the accrued and unpaid Program Fees, Exit Fees, Prepayment Fees and other fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the Fee Letter.

(b) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, upon the Agent’s demand, for the benefit of the Lender, all Liquidation Fees with respect to any repayment of an Advance.

Section 2.09. Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay any Advance, in whole or in part, on any Interest Payment Date for such Advance upon at least one Business Day’s written notice to the Agent, which notice shall specify the proposed prepayment date and the amount of such prepayment, provided that any partial prepayment of less than all the Advances shall be equal to an integral multiple of $500,000. Each notice of prepayment shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

(b) If, on any Business Day the Facility Amount shall exceed the Maximum Facility Amount, then, the Borrower shall remit to the Agent, prior to any Borrowing and in any event no later than the close of business of the Agent on the second succeeding Business Day, a payment (to be applied by the Agent to repay Advances) in such amount as may be necessary to reduce the Facility Amount to an amount less than or equal to the Maximum Facility Amount.

Section 2.10. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) If after the Effective Date, the Lender, any Hedge Counterparty, the Agent or any Funding Source (each an “Affected Party”) shall be charged or shall incur any fee, expense, increased reserve requirement or other increased cost on account of the (i) adoption or

implementation of any applicable law, rule or regulation or any accounting principle (including, without limitation, any applicable law, rule or regulation or accounting principle regarding or affecting capital adequacy) or any change therein, (ii) any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority or accounting body charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iii) compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority or accounting body (a “Regulatory Change”): (A) which subjects any Affected Party to any charge or withholding on or with respect to any Funding Agreement or an Affected Party’s obligations under a Funding Agreement, or on or with respect to the Medallion Loans, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Affected Party of any amounts payable under any Funding Agreement (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of an Affected Party) or (B) which imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of an Affected Party, or credit extended by an Affected Party pursuant to a Funding Agreement or (C) which imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to an Affected Party of performing its obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on an Affected Party’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Affected Party under a Funding Agreement or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, then, upon demand by the Agent by the submission of the certificate described below, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Affected Party, such amounts as are necessary to compensate such Affected Party for such increased cost, reduction or payment. A certificate from the relevant Affected Party setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts so required to compensate such Affected Party submitted to the Borrower shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III and (iii) the Capital Requirements Directive (as amended by Article 122a (effective as of January 1, 2011) and as the same may be further amended, restated or otherwise modified) and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, shall, in each case, constitute a Regulatory Change regardless of the date adopted or implemented.

(b) Each Affected Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any claim for compensation pursuant to Section 2.10(a), including taking any such actions as will avoid the need for, or reduce the need for, any increased amounts referred to in Section 2.10(a); provided that such efforts shall not require any Affected Party to take any action that would be unlawful or otherwise disadvantageous to such Affected Party or result in any unreimbursed cost or expense to such Affected Party or in an increase in the aggregate amount payable under Section 2.10(a). Any Affected Party making a claim under Section 2.10(a) shall submit to the Borrower a certificate as to such additional or increased cost or reduction, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Affected Party shall not be compensated for any amount pursuant to Section 2.10(a) relating to any period ending more than six (6) months prior to the date that the Affected Party notifies the Borrower in writing thereof unless (1) the effect of the related Regulatory Change is retroactive by its terms

to a period prior to the date of the Regulatory Change, in which case any additional amount or amounts shall be payable for the retroactive period but only if the Affected Party provides its written demand not later than six (6) months after such Regulatory Change; or (2) the Affected Party reasonably and in good faith did not believe the related Regulatory Change resulted in such an additional or increased cost or charge or such a reduction during such prior period.

Section 2.11. Taxes.

(a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If the Borrower shall be required under any applicable Requirements of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement to the Lender, (i) the Borrower shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with the applicable Requirements of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after the Borrower has made all required deductions and withholdings the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of the Lender, Taxes that are measured by or imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which the Lender is organized, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of the Lender or such Agent having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).

(b) The Borrower shall not be required to increase any amounts payable under Section 2.11(a) to the Lender that is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof if the Lender fails to comply with the requirements of clause (c) of this Section. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the applicable Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(c) If the Lender (or transferee that acquires a interest hereunder in accordance with Section 10.04 hereof) is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “US Person”)) for United States federal income tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”), such Non-US Lender shall deliver or caused to be delivered to the Borrower and the Servicer the following properly completed and duly executed documents:

(1) two complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Forms W-8BEN (or any successor form thereto) with respect to an income tax treaty providing for a zero rate of withholding tax on interest, or (y) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI (or any successor form thereto); or

(2) two complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN (or any successor form thereto), including all appropriate attachments, documenting the status of the Lender (or transferee) as a Non-U.S. Lender and (y) a tax certificate in the form of Exhibit E hereto.

Such documents shall be delivered by the Lender (or transferee) on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a transferee or assignee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, the Lender (or transferee) changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office. In addition, the Lender (or transferee) shall deliver or cause to be delivered such forms and/or certificates promptly upon or before the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any document previously delivered by the Lender (or transferee). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.11(c), a Lender (or transferee) shall not be required to deliver any document pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) that the Lender (or transferee) is not legally able to deliver; provided, however, that if the Lender (or transferee) is not legally able to deliver such documents on or prior to the date specified in the second preceding sentence, the Borrower shall not be required to increase any amounts payable under Section 2.11(a) to the Lender (or transferee).

Section 2.12. Evidence of Debt. The Lender (or the Agent on its behalf) shall maintain an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender resulting from each Advance owing to the Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to the Lender from time to time hereunder. The entries made in such account(s) of the Lender or the Agent on behalf of the Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

COVENANTS

The Borrower covenants and agrees with the Agent and the Lender that, so long as any Advance is outstanding and until the later to occur of the payment in full of all Secured Obligations and the termination of this Agreement:

Section 5.01. Existence; etc.

(b) The Borrower will comply with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of Governmental Authorities (including, without limitation, all environmental laws, all laws with respect to unfair and deceptive lending practices and predatory lending practices), if failure to comply with such requirements would be reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to have a Borrower Material Adverse Effect.

The Borrower will not change its jurisdiction of organization from the jurisdiction referred to in Section 4.02.

(d) The Borrower will pay and discharge all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed on it or on its income or profits or on any of its Property prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, except for any such tax, assessment, charge or levy the payment of which is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained.

(e) The Borrower will permit representatives of the Agent, during normal business hours, to examine, copy and make extracts from its books and records, to inspect any of its Properties, and to discuss its business and affairs with its officers, all to the extent reasonably requested by the Agent.

Where necessary, the Borrower will obtain proper authorization from its managers for statutory trust action.

(b) The Borrower will pay its operating expenses and liabilities (including, as applicable, shared personnel and overhead expenses) from its own assets; provided, however, that the Borrower’s organizational expenses and the expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be paid by Medallion Funding.

Section 7.01. Authorization and Action.

(a) By accepting the benefits of this Agreement, each Secured Party hereby designates and appoints DZ Bank to act as its agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and authorizes the Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise

such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, or any fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of the Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist for the Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall act solely as agent for the Secured Parties and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for any Medallion Party. The Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or applicable law. The appointment and authority of the Agent hereunder shall terminate on the Final Payout Date. Each Secured Party hereby authorizes the Agent to execute each of the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, together with such other instruments or documents determined by the Agent to be necessary or desirable in order to perfect, evidence or more fully protect the interest of the Secured Parties contemplated hereunder, on behalf of such Secured Party (the terms of which shall be binding on such Secured Party). The Borrower may in any event act in accordance with the instructions of the Agent without further inquiry into the authority of the Agent to give such instructions.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent is authorized (but not required) to act on behalf of the Secured Parties in connection with providing such instructions, approvals, waivers or consents as may from time to time be required hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to permit or authorize or direct the Borrower to take or refrain from taking any action under the Loan Documents; provided that the Agent may at any time, in its sole discretion, elect to refrain from providing any such instructions, approvals, waivers or consents until such time as it shall have received the consent thereto of the Lender.

Section 7.02. Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Loan Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Section 7.03. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for its, their or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Medallion Party contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any other Loan Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith, or for any failure of any Medallion Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III of the Existing Agreement, or for the perfection, priority, condition, value or sufficiency or any

Collateral pledged in connection herewith. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Medallion Party. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default, Servicer Default or Termination Event or any event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, Servicer Default or Termination Event, unless the Agent has received notice from the Borrower, the Servicer or a Secured Party.

Section 7.04. Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any MF/Borrower Related Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lender as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Secured Parties, provided that unless and until the Agent shall have received such advice, the Agent may take or refrain from taking any action, as the Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Secured Parties. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of the Lender, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Secured Parties.

Section 7.05. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Secured Parties. Each Secured Party expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Medallion Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent. Each Secured Party represents and warrants to the Agent that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Secured Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Medallion Parties and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto.

Section 7.06. Agent in Its Individual Capacity.

The Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and, without limiting Section 9.08, neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to the Borrower or any Secured Party for any act or failure to act under this Section 9.04, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d) In furtherance of the foregoing, the Borrower will execute and deliver a separate power of attorney in the form of Exhibit I and such other documents requested by the Agent to effectuate this Section 9.04.

Section 9.05. Performance of Borrower’s Obligations. If the Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Loan Documents and the Agent or the Lender may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent or the Lender, as applicable, incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Default Funding Rate, shall be payable by the Borrower to the Agent or the Lender on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Agent and the Lender of their rights hereunder shall not release the Borrower or any other MF/Borrower Related Party from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Medallion Loans, the related Medallion Loan Documents or any other instrument, document or agreement included in the Collateral. Neither the Agent nor the Lender shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Medallion Loan, any Medallion Loan Document or any other instrument, document or agreement included in the Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of the Borrower or any other MF/Borrower Related Party.

Section 9.06. Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (a) all proceeds of Collateral received by the Borrower consisting of cash, checks and other cash equivalents shall be held by the Borrower in trust for the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of the Borrower, and shall forthwith upon receipt by the Borrower may, in the sole discretion of the Agent, be turned over to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the exact form received by the Borrower (duly endorsed by the Borrower to the Agent, if required) and (b) any and all such proceeds received by the Agent (whether from the Borrower or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of the Agent, be held by the Agent as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Agent against, the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), such application to be in such order as the Agent shall elect. Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. For purposes hereof, proceeds shall include, but not be limited to, all principal and interest payments, all prepayments and payoffs, insurance claims, recoveries against Obligors, sale and foreclosure proceeds, and any other income and all other amounts received with respect to the Collateral.

Section 9.07. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Borrower or any other Person (each and all of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell (on a servicing released basis, at the Agent’s option), lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Agent or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices

as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. In the event that the Agent elects (or is directed) to take any action described in this Section 9.07, the Borrower further agrees, at the Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at places which the Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Borrower’s premises or elsewhere. The Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Agent of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including without limitation Sections 9-610 and 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code, need the Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Agent arising out of the exercise by the Agent of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. The Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon as contemplated herein) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations, including the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Agent to collect such deficiency.

Section 9.08. Limitation on Duties Regarding Presentation of Collateral. The Agent’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Borrower or otherwise.

Section 9.09. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

Section 9.10. Release of Security Interest. Upon (x) termination of this Agreement, repayment to the Agent and the Secured Parties of all Secured Obligations and the performance of all other obligations under the Loan Documents, the Agent shall release its security interest in any remaining Collateral, (y) repayment of a Medallion Loan in full by the related Obligor or sale of a Medallion Loan by the Borrower to the extent permitted by this Agreement, the Agent shall release its security interest in any Collateral securing such Medallion Loan, in the case of this clause (y), upon receipt by the Agent of the amount of such repayment or sales proceeds;

provided that if any payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervener or conservator of, or a trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, this Agreement, all rights hereunder and the Liens created hereby (other than Liens referred to in clause (y) above) shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as though such payments had not been made.

Section 9.11. Reaffirmation of Pledge. The Borrower hereby reconfirms the pledge to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Existing Agreement, and grant of security interest in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Existing Agreement in, all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral, whether now owned or after’ acquired, now existing or hereafter created to secure the Secured Obligations.

Section 10.15. Periodic Due Diligence Review.

(a) The Borrower acknowledges that the Agent has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the MF/Borrower Related Parties and the Medallion Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and the Borrower agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than one (1) Business Day’s) prior notice to the Borrower (which prior notice shall not be required after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default), the Agent or its authorized representatives (including independent audit and consulting firm specializing in securitization transactions) will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Medallion Loan Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Medallion Loans in the possession or under the control of the Borrower, any other MF/Borrower Related Party and/or the Custodian. The Borrower also shall make, and cause each other MF/Borrower Related Party to make, available to the Agent a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Medallion Loan Files, the Medallion Loans, the Borrowing Base or other related matters. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower acknowledges that the Lender may make Advances to the Borrower based solely upon the

information provided by the Borrower to the Agent and the Lender and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that the Agent, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Medallion Loans securing such Advance, including without limitation ordering new credit reports and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Medallion Loans. The Agent may underwrite such Medallion Loans itself or engage a third party underwriter (including independent audit and consulting firm specializing in securitization transactions) to perform such underwriting, provided that such third party underwriter shall agree in writing with the Borrower to maintain the confidentiality of the information reviewed and only to use such information in connection with its engagement by the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in connection with this Agreement. The Borrower agrees to cooperate with the Agent and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing the Agent and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Medallion Loans in the possession, or under the control, of the Borrower.

(b) The Borrower shall reimburse the Agent and the Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Persons in connection with any due diligence review of a proposed Approved Seller or a proposed Approved Purchase Agreement. Amounts reimbursed pursuant to this Section 10.15(b) shall not be subject to or applied toward the reimbursement cap set forth in Section 10.15(a) hereof.

(c) The Agent may, at the reasonable expense of the Borrower, (i) perform or direct the Borrower to perform background checks on any material personnel hired by any MF/Borrower Related Party after the Effective Date and (ii) on a quarterly basis (at the same time as any under any other Loan Document), contact Obligors directly for the purpose of confirming information relating to the Medallion Loans. The Borrower shall cooperate with the Agent in any such background check, confirmation or audit and shall furnish to the Agent all information (including, without limitation, names and addresses of Obligors) that the Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Agent will not claim reimbursement from the Borrower for any expenses under this Section 10.15(c) to the extent it has been reimbursed by the Borrower under another Loan Document.

Section 10.16. Usury Savings Clause. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of the Borrower to make payments of interest shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to be made to the extent that a Lender’s receipt thereof would not be permissible under the law or laws applicable to it limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by it. Any such amount of interest which is not paid as a result of the limitation referred to in the preceding sentence shall be carried forward and paid by the Borrower to the Lender on the earliest date or dates on which any interest is payable under this Agreement and on which the receipt thereof is permissible under the laws applicable to the Lender limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by the Lender. Such payment shall be made as additional interest for the month preceding such Interest Payment Date. Such deferred payments shall not bear interest.

Section 10.17. USA Patriot Act. The Agent hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information that will allow the Agent to identify Borrower in accordance with its requirements. Borrower shall promptly, following a request by the Agent or the Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Agent or the Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act.

Section 10.18. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-in of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by the Borrower hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Program Agreement; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability to the extent necessary to give effect to the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority in relation to any such liability.
