GENERAL TERMS

Section 2.01 Loan.(a) (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Lender agrees to make the Loan to Borrower in the principal amount outstanding at any one time not to exceed the Maximum Loan Amount. During the Commitment Period, Borrower may utilize the Commitment by requesting Loan Advances, Borrower may repay the Loan in whole or in part at any time during such period, and additional Loan Advances may be made all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Lender’s obligation to make a Loan Advance pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall terminate on the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no commitment or obligation to make any Loan Advance in connection with pledged Participation Certificates to the extent such Loan Advance exceeds the lesser of (i) the Maximum Loan Amount and (ii) the Borrowing Base.

(b) The Loan shall initially be evidenced by a single amended and restated promissory note (the “Note”) of Borrower in the form of Exhibit A hereto dated the Closing Date and payable to Lender. Borrower agrees that Lender is authorized to record on the Note (i) the date and amount of each Loan Advance made by Lender pursuant hereto and (ii) the date and amount of each payment of principal of each Loan Advance, in the books and records of Lender in such manner as is reasonable and customary for Lender, and that a certificate of an officer of Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail the information so recorded, shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded, absent manifest error; provided that the failure to make any such recording shall not in any way affect the Obligations of Borrower or the rights of Lender hereunder or under the Note.

Section 2.02 Procedure for Borrowing. (a) Borrower may borrow under the Facility during the Commitment Period on any Advance Date; provided, that Borrower shall have given Lender irrevocable notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), which notice (i) shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B, (ii) shall be signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower and be received by Lender prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York time) three (3) Business Days prior to the related Advance Date, and (iii) shall specify (A) the dollar amount of the requested Loan Advance, (B) the value of the Portfolio Excess Spread on Borrower’s books and records; (C) the requested Advance Date and (D) the information required to be included in the Asset Schedule with respect to each such Asset in mutually acceptable electronic form.

(b) If Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Notice of Borrowing that satisfies the requirements of Section 2.02(a), Lender will notify Borrower of its intent to remit the requested Loan Amount one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Advance Date. If all applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article V have been satisfied on or prior to the Advance Date, then subject to the foregoing, on the Advance Date, Lender shall remit or cause to be remitted the amount of the requested Loan Advance in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds to the account specified by Borrower.

(c) Upon making each Loan Advance hereunder, the Asset Schedule shall be automatically updated to include each of the Assets listed on the Asset Schedule attached to the Notice of Borrowing.

Section 2.03 Repayment and Prepayment of Principal. (a) Borrower hereby promises to repay the entire outstanding principal amount of the Loan on the Termination Date.

(b) By notifying Lender in writing at least one (1) Business Day in advance, Borrower shall be permitted, at its option, to prepay, subject to Section 2.12, the Loan in whole or in part at any time, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid.

Section 2.04 Interest. On each Interest Payment Date, Borrower hereby promises to pay to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan, as invoiced by Lender three (3) Business Days prior to the related Interest Payment Date (the “Interest Statement Date”); provided that if Lender fails to deliver such statement on the Interest Statement Date, on such Interest Payment Date Borrower shall pay the amount which Borrower calculates as the interest due and upon delivery of the statement, Borrower shall remit to Lender any shortfall, or Lender shall refund to Borrower any excess, in the interest payment paid. Interest shall accrue each day on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate. Interest on the Loan shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in each Interest Period and a 360-day year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, during the term of this Agreement, the Lender may net and offset amounts on account of accrued and unpaid interest that would otherwise be due to the Borrower in accordance with the netting provisions set forth in Section 10.12 hereof.

Section 2.05 Borrowing Base Deficiencies. (a) If at any time the aggregate outstanding amount of Loan Advances made in connection with Participation Certificates exceeds the Borrowing Base in effect at such time, as determined by Lender (such excess, a “Borrowing Base Deficiency”), then Lender may by notice to Borrower require Borrower to transfer to Lender cash in an amount at least equal to the Borrowing Base Deficiency (such requirement, a “Margin Call”).

(b) Notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.05(a) may be given by any written or electronic means. With respect to a Margin Call in the amount of less than 5% of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan (a “Low Percentage Margin Call”), any notice given before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the following Business Day; notice given after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day following the date of such notice. With respect to all Margin Calls other than Low Percentage Margin Calls, any notice given before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day; notice given after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the following Business Day. The foregoing time requirements for satisfaction of a Margin Call are referred to as the “Margin Deadlines”. The failure of Lender, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Lender to do so at a later date. Borrower and Lender each agree that a failure or delay by Lender to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Lender’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Borrower.

(c) In the event that a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, Lender may retain any funds received by it to which Borrower would otherwise be entitled hereunder, which funds (i) may be held by Lender against the related Borrowing Base Deficiency or (ii) may be applied by Lender against the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender retains the right, in its sole discretion, to make a Margin Call in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.05.

Section 2.06 Payment Procedure. Borrower absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably, shall make, or cause to be made, all payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder. Borrower shall deposit or cause to be deposited all amounts constituting collection, payments and proceeds of Assets (including, without limitation, all fees and proceeds of sale) in the Dedicated Accounts.

Section 2.07 Application of Payments. (a) On each Interest Payment Date, Lender shall prepare and deliver to Borrower a distribution worksheet detailing the application of amounts received on account of Participation Interests. The application of payments by Lender to the reduction of the Obligations shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding upon Borrower.

(b) The parties acknowledge that prior to termination of the CSFB Loan Agreement, all amounts on deposit in the Dedicated Account shall be applied pursuant to the CSFB Loan Agreement, and any amounts due to Lender or Borrower hereunder, as applicable, shall be continuing obligations notwithstanding the application of amounts on deposit in such Dedicated Account:

(c) On each Interest Payment Date amounts received on account of Participation Interests pledged hereunder shall be applied as follows:

(i) first, to the payment of all non-principal amounts (including, without limitation, Expenses) other than accrued and unpaid interest owing with respect to the Loan;

(ii) second, without limiting the rights of Lender under Section 2.05, to the payment of principal to satisfy any Borrowing Base Deficiency owing with respect to the Loan;

(iii) third, to the payment of all other costs and fees payable to Lender pursuant to this Agreement; and

(iv) fourth, any remainder applied in the order of priority specified in Sections 5.03 and 6.03 of the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, if an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder, all funds received on account of the Participation Interests pledged hereunder shall be applied as follows:

(i) first, in the same order of priority as set forth in Section 2.07(c)(i)-(ii);

(ii) second, to the payment of outstanding principal with respect to the Loan until reduced to zero;

(iii) third, to payment of all costs and fees and any other Obligations; and

Section 2.09 Recourse. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained or implied herein or in any other Loan Document, Lender shall have full, unlimited recourse against Borrower and their respective assets in order to satisfy the Obligations.

Section 2.10 Requirements of Law. (a) If any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Lender’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or the Loan (excluding income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or similar taxes imposed on Lender as a result of any present or former connection between Lender and the United States, other than any such connection arising solely from Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement) or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender in respect thereof;

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Interest Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender, by an amount which Lender deems to be material, of entering, continuing or maintaining this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Loan or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender such additional amount or amounts as calculated by Lender in good faith as will compensate Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

(b) If Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Lender’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Lender or any corporation controlling Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Lender to be material, then from time to time, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction.

(c) If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.10 submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.11 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If Borrower shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to Lender (including for purposes of Section 2.10 and this Section 2.11, any assignee, successor or participant), (i) Borrower shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) 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 any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Borrower has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.11) such 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 the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of Lender, Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender is organized or of its Applicable Lending Office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).

(b) In addition, Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(c) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable by Borrower under this Section 2.11 imposed on or paid by such Lender and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Borrower provided for in this Section 2.11 shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by Borrower under the indemnity set forth in this Section 2.11(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Lender makes written demand therefor.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing contained in Section 2.10 or this Section 2.11 shall require any Lender to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

Section 2.12 Indemnity. Without limiting, and in addition to, the provisions of Section 10.02, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lender and to hold the Lender harmless from any loss or expense that the Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) a default by the Borrower in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on the Loan or (ii) a default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with Section 2.03.

Section 2.13 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 2.15 Additional Participation Agreements. In the event that Borrower wishes to obtain a Loan Advance under a Participation Agreement not listed on Schedule 2 hereto, Borrower shall deliver a written request for approval of such Participation Agreement to Lender for Lender’s approval, which may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion.

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Lender or as Lender shall direct; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Borrower with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Lender may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Lender’s option and Borrower’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Lender deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Lender’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Borrower might do.

(b) Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until such time as all Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement is terminated.

Section 4.08 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 4.09 Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (a) all proceeds of Collateral received by Borrower consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by Borrower in trust for Lender, segregated from other funds of Borrower, and shall forthwith upon receipt by Borrower be turned over to Lender in the exact form received by Borrower (duly endorsed by Borrower to Lender, if required) and (b) any and all such proceeds received by Lender (whether from Borrower or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of Lender, be held by Lender as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied by Lender against, the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), such application to be in such order as Lender shall elect. Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated shall be paid over to Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

Section 4.10 Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender 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 Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (including without limitation, Lender’s rights to a strict foreclosure under Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may seek the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee, or similar official in respect of Borrower or any of Borrower’s property. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may terminate the Participation Interest in accordance with the Participation Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required under this Agreement or by law referred to below) to or upon 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, 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 Lender 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. Lender 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 Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Borrower further agrees, at Lender’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at places which Lender shall reasonably select, whether at Borrower’s premises or elsewhere. Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable (under the circumstances) out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every kind actually 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 Lender hereunder, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as Lender may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including without limitation Section 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code, need Lender account for the surplus, if any, to Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Lender arising out of the exercise by Lender of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. 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. 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 Obligations and the fees and disbursements in amounts reasonable under the circumstances, of any attorneys employed by Lender to collect such deficiency.

Section 4.11 Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. Lender’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 Lender deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Lender 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 Borrower or otherwise.

Section 4.12 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 4.13 Release of Security Interest. Upon the latest to occur of (a) the repayment of the Loan, and (b) the occurrence of the Termination Date, Lender shall release its security interest in any remaining Collateral hereunder and shall promptly execute and deliver to Borrower such documents or instruments as Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such release; provided, that such release shall not be required until such time as the Acknowledgement Agreement is terminated.

Section 4.14 Reinstatement. All security interests created by this Article IV shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation of Borrower is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as if such release had not been made.

Section 4.15 Subordination. It is anticipated that in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, that (x) the Borrower is pledging the Repledge Collateral to the Lender subject to the Lien of CSFB and (y) Borrower hereby reaffirms such Lien and the Borrower and the Lender acknowledge and agree that their respective rights with respect to the Repledge Collateral are subject to the terms of the Security Agreement. Accordingly, Lender acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Collateral are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to (i) the rights of CSFB under the CSFB Loan Agreement and (ii) the rights of CSFB under the Security Agreement. In connection with the foregoing, Lender and Borrower each agrees to subordinate all of the rights hereunder and under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement to the rights of CSFB under the CSFB Loan Agreement and under the other Loan Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, notwithstanding any rights or remedies available to Borrower hereunder or under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement, applicable law or otherwise, Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, exercise any remedies available to it hereunder or thereunder or at law or equity for ninety-one (91) days following the date that all Obligations are paid in full under the CSFB Loan Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in no instance shall CSFB succeed to any liabilities or obligations of Lender hereunder, under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement or the Loan Documents.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default which has not been waived in writing by Lender, Lender may, by notice to Borrower, declare all Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and any obligation of Lender to make any Loan Advance to Borrower shall thereupon immediately terminate. Upon such declaration, the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, both as to principal and interest, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the Note or other evidence of such Obligations to the contrary notwithstanding, except with respect to any Event of Default set forth in Section 7.01(d), in which case all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable without the necessity of any notice or other demand, and any obligation of Lender to make any Loan Advance to Borrower shall immediately terminate. Lender may enforce payment of the same and exercise any or all of the rights, powers and remedies possessed by Lender, whether under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or afforded by applicable law.

Section 7.04 Fees. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable legal expenses incurred in enforcing Lender’s rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each other Loan Document.

Without regard to whether Lender has exercised any other rights or remedies hereunder, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the applicable Margin in respect of the Interest Rate under the Note shall be increased, to the extent permitted by law, as set forth in clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B), as applicable, of the definition of “Margin”.

AND WAIVERS; SEPARATE ACTIONS BY LENDER

Section 8.01 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements, written or oral, as to the matters contained herein, and no modification or waiver of any provision hereof or of the Note or any of the Loan Documents, nor consent to the departure by Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless the same is in writing, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which it is given.

Section 8.02 Waivers, Separate Actions by Lender. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Article VIII shall be binding upon Lender and Borrower; and Lender’s failure to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition or other provision of this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, or to exercise any right or remedy hereunder or thereunder, shall not constitute a waiver by Lender of any such term, condition or other provision or Default or Event of Default in connection therewith, nor shall a single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or future exercise, or the exercise of any other right or remedy; and any waiver of any such term, condition or other provision or of any such Default or Event of Default shall not affect or alter this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, and each and every term, condition and other provision of this Agreement, the Note and the Loan Documents shall, in such event, continue in full force and effect and shall be operative with respect to any other then existing or subsequent Default or Event of Default in connection therewith. An Event of Default hereunder and under any Note or under any of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be continuing unless and until waived in writing by Lender, as provided in Section 7.02.

Section 9.02 Participations and Transfers. (a) Lender may in accordance with applicable law at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in all or a portion of Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents; provided, that (i) Borrower has consented to such sale; provided, however, Borrower’s consent shall not be required in the event that (A) such Participant is an Affiliate of Lender or (B) an Event of Default has occurred and (ii) each such sale shall represent an interest in the Note in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or more. In the event of any such sale by Lender of participating interests to a Participant, Lender shall remain the holder of the Note for all purposes under this Agreement and Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Lender may in accordance with applicable law at any time assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise transfer to one or more banks, financial institutions, investment companies, investment funds or any other Person (each, a “Transferee”) all or a portion of Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents; provided, that (i) Borrower has consented to such assignment, pledge, hypothecation, or other transfer; provided, however, Borrower’s consent shall not be required in the event that (A) such Transferee is an Affiliate of Lender or (B) an Event of Default has occurred; (ii) absent an Event of Default, Lender shall give at least ten days’ prior notice thereof to Borrower; and (iii) that each such sale shall represent an interest in the Note in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or more. In the event of any such assignment, pledge, hypothecation or transfer by Lender of Lender’s rights under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Lender (acting as agent for Borrower) shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.05 a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of Transferees, and the principal amount of the interest in the Note held by each thereof. The entries in the Register shall be prima facie conclusive and binding, and Borrower may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the principal amount of the Note recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. No assignment shall be effective until it is recorded in the Register.

(c) Upon written request of Lender and surrender of the Note, Borrower hereby agrees to exchange the Note for one or more new Notes, each in the denomination and in the name of such Person or Persons requested by Lender (provided, that each new Note shall represent an interest in the Note in an aggregate initial principal amount of $1,000,000 or more).

(d) All actions taken by Lender pursuant to this Section 9.02 shall be at the expense of Lender. Lender may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Lender by Borrower.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 9.02, Lender shall not be permitted to take any of the actions set forth in this Section during the term of the CSFB Loan Agreement without the prior written consent of CSFB.

(a) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.03, from and after the effective date specified in each assignment and acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment and acceptance, have the rights and obligations of Lender under this Agreement. Any assignment or transfer by Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.03 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.02.

(b) Borrower or an agent of Borrower shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Loans made hereunder, and each assignment and acceptance and participation. The Register shall include the names and addresses of Lenders (including all assignees, successors and Participants), and the principal amount of the Loans owing to such Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. If Lender sells a participation in any Loan, it shall provide Borrower, or maintain as agent of Borrower, the information described in this paragraph and permit Borrower to review such information as reasonably needed for Borrower to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or under any applicable law or governmental regulation or procedure.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.01 Survival. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties herein and therein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto and thereto, shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the Note and any other Obligations are outstanding and unpaid.

Whether or not such damages are related to a claim that is subject to such waiver and whether or not such waiver is effective, Lender shall not have any liability with respect to, and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any claim for, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated or the relationship established by this Agreement, the other loan documents or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith or therewith or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith, unless it is determined by a judgment of a court that is binding on Lender (which judgment shall be final and not subject to review on appeal), that such damages were the result of acts or omissions on the part of Lender, as applicable, constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Section 10.04 Governing Law; Jurisdiction, Waiver of Jury Trial: Waiver of Damages. (a) This Agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Borrower acknowledges that the obligations of Lender hereunder or otherwise are not the subject of any guaranty by, or recourse to, any direct or indirect parent or other Affiliate of Lender. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

(b) BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 10.06 Severability. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document 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.

Section 10.07 Section Headings. The Article and Section headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 10.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 10.09 Periodic Due Diligence Review. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to Borrower and the Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Borrower agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than five (5) Business Day’s) prior notice unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, to Borrower, Lender or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours, and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the ordinary conduct of Borrower’s business, to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Assets in the possession or under the control of Borrower. Borrower also shall make available to Lender a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges that Lender may make a Loan Advance related to any Assets from Borrower based solely upon the information provided by Borrower to Lender in the Asset Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Lender, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Assets related to a Loan Advance. Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Lender and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Borrower.

Section 10.10 Hypothecation or Pledge of Collateral.

Lender shall have free and unrestricted use of all Collateral and nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Lender from engaging in repurchase transactions with all or a portion of the Collateral or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating all or a portion of the Collateral.

Lender may pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer or otherwise convey the Collateral in connection with the CSFB Loan Agreement. No such transaction shall relieve Lender of its obligations to transfer Collateral to Borrower (and not substitutions thereof) pursuant to the terms hereof, or of Lender’s obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Borrower. In furtherance, and not by limitation of, the foregoing, Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that Lender may make new borrowings from CSFB in which Lender may pledge, convey and transfer to CSFB certain or all of the Collateral pledged to Lender hereunder (the “Repledge Collateral”); provided that nothing set forth herein shall create an obligation on the part of CSFB to make advances to Borrower or Lender hereunder. Lender and Borrower acknowledge that CSFB has not been and shall not be involved in any decision relating to this Agreement and the transactions hereunder. In no event shall Borrower have any rights, claims or recourse against CSFB for any obligation of Lender hereunder or any actions on the part of CSFB with respect to any Repledge Collateral. The Lender and Borrower each acknowledges that its rights under this Agreement are subordinate and junior to any rights of the CSFB under the CSFB Loan Documents and the Security Agreement with respect to any Repledge Collateral, including without limitation, any right that the Borrower may have to reacquire any Repledge Collateral hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, Borrower waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the obligations under the CSFB Loan Documents. The Borrower hereby agrees to cooperate and execute such documents as are reasonably requested, including without limitation, granting powers of attorney, in order to effectuate the provisions set forth herein.

Section 10.11 Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment.(a) This Agreement and its terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and notices hereunder, are proprietary to Lender and Agent or Borrower, as applicable and shall be held by each party hereto, as applicable in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the written consent of Lender or Borrower, as applicable, except for (i) disclosure to Lender’s or Borrower’s direct and indirect Affiliates and Subsidiaries, attorneys or accountants, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary and such parties agree to hold all information in strict confidence, or (ii) disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Documents, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Loan, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Loan, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment; provided that Borrower may not disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Lender or any pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Interest Rate and Advance Rate) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Loan and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Loan, without the prior written consent of Lender.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Borrower shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Collateral and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Borrower understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “Act”), and Borrower agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws. Borrower shall implement such physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the “customers” and “consumers” (as those terms are defined in the Act) of Lender or any Affiliate of Lender which Borrower holds, (b) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (c) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal information. Borrower represents and warrants that it has implemented appropriate measures to meet the objectives of Section 501(b) of the Act and of the applicable standards adopted pursuant thereto, as now or hereafter in effect. Upon request, Borrower will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow Lender to confirm that the providing party has satisfied its obligations as required under this section. Without limitation, this may include Lender’s review of audits, summaries of test results, and other equivalent evaluations of Borrower. Borrower shall notify Lender immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Lender or any Affiliate of Lender provided directly to Borrower by Lender or such Affiliate. Borrower shall provide such notice to Lender by personal delivery, by facsimile with confirmation of receipt, or by overnight courier with confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual.

Section 10.12 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender hereunder and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any Obligation from Borrower or any Affiliate thereof to Lender or any of its Affiliates any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return funds to Borrower), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any Affiliate thereof. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower and Lender have caused this Loan and Security Agreement to be executed and delivered by their duly authorized officers or trustees as of the date first above written.
