Section 2.1    Advances.

(a)    On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Borrower may, by delivery of a Funding Request to the Documentation Agent from time to time on any Business Day during the Revolving Period, at the Borrower’s option, request that the Lenders make advances (each, an “Advance”) to it in an amount which, at any time, shall not exceed the Availability in effect on the related Funding Date and shall be in an amount equal to $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. The Documentation Agent shall promptly provide a copy of such Funding Request to the Facility Agent and each Managing Agent, and each Managing Agent, upon receipt thereof, shall provide a copy thereof to each Lender in its Lender Group.

(b)    A Funding Request shall be delivered to the Documentation Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, no Committed Lender shall be obligated to make a share of any Advance in an amount that would result in the aggregate Advances then funded by such Committed Lender exceeding its Commitment then in effect, and no Conduit Lender which is not a Committed Lender shall be obligated to make a share of any Advance in an amount that would result in the aggregate Advances then funded by such Conduit Lender exceeding its Maximum Advance Amount then in effect.

(c)    Each Funding Request shall contain the information specified in the form of Funding Request contained in Exhibit A‑1 hereto. A Funding Request for Advances shall be irrevocable when delivered, except that to the extent a Funding Request relates to Advances which are designated in the related Funding Request to be applied to fund one or more Pre-Positioned Loans, such Funding Request may be amended or revoked by the Borrower by notice to the Documentation Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Funding Date. The Documentation Agent shall promptly provide a copy of any such notice to the Facility Agent, the Collateral Custodian and each Managing Agent, and each Managing Agent, upon receipt thereof, shall promptly provide a copy thereof to each Lender in its Lender Group. No more than ten Funding Dates may be designated in any calendar month, and not more than three Funding Dates may be designated in any calendar week, in each case, unless consented to by the Facility Agent.

(d)    On the Funding Date with respect to an Advance following (and subject to) prompt notice from the Documentation Agent to the Facility Agent, each Managing Agent and each Lender concerning the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.2 and Article III, (i) each Conduit Lender which is not a Committed Lender may make a portion of such Advance to the Borrower in an amount equal to its Funding Percentage of such Advance, and (ii) each Committed Lender, severally, agrees to make a portion of such Advance to the Borrower in an amount equal to its Funding Percentage of such Advance. Such Advance shall be made by the applicable Lenders by wire transfer of same day funds to the account specified in the relevant Funding Request in accordance with Section 2.1(c) no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date.

(e)    Each Conduit Lender which is not a Committed Lender shall notify the Managing Agent for its Lender Group by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date whether it has elected to make its full pro rata share of an Advance pursuant to Section 2.1(d). In the event that a Conduit Lender shall fail to timely provide such notice, such Conduit Lender shall be deemed to have elected not to make any portion of such Advance. Such Managing Agent shall notify each Committed Lender in its Lender Group on or prior to 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date if such Conduit Lender has elected not to make its share of an Advance equal to its Funding Percentage of the requested Borrowing, which notice shall specify (i) the identity of such Conduit Lender, (ii) the portion of the Advance which such Conduit Lender has elected not to make, and (iii) the respective Liquidity Percentages of such Committed Lenders on such Funding Date (as determined by such Managing Agent in good faith; for purposes of such determination, such Managing Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the most recent

information provided by such Conduit Lender or its agent or by the agent for its Support Parties). Subject to receiving such notice and to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.2 and Article III, each of the Committed Lenders in such Lender Group shall make an Advance in an amount equal to its Liquidity Percentage multiplied by the amount of each Advance which any Conduit Lender in such Lender Group has elected not to make at or before 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the applicable Funding Date and otherwise in accordance with Section 2.1(d).

(f)    In the event that notwithstanding the fulfilment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.2 and Article III with respect to an Advance, a Conduit Lender which is not a Committed Lender elects to make a share of an Advance on a Funding Date by providing the notice required pursuant to Section 2.1(e) but fails to make the proceeds of such Advance available to the Borrower by 2:00 p.m. on such Funding Date pursuant to Section 2.1(d), such Conduit Lender shall be deemed to have rescinded its election to make such share of such Advance, and neither the Borrower nor any other party shall have any claim against such Conduit Lender by reason of its failure to timely make such Advance. In any such case, the Managing Agent for such Conduit Lender’s Lender Group shall give notice of such failure to each Committed Lender in such Lender Group, to the Documentation Agent, the Facility Agent and the Borrower not later than 2:15 p.m. (New York City time), on the Funding Date, which notice shall specify (i) the identity of such Conduit Lender, (ii) the amount of such Advance which it elected, but failed, to make, and (iii) the respective Liquidity Percentages of each of such Committed Lenders on such Funding Date (as determined by such Managing Agent in good faith; for purposes of such determination, such Managing Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the most recent information provided by such Conduit Lender or its agent or by the agent for its Support Parties). Subject to receiving such notice, each Committed Lender in such Lender Group shall make an Advance in an amount equal to its Liquidity Percentage multiplied by each Advance which any Conduit Lender in such Lender Group has been deemed to have rescinded its election to fund at or before 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), on such Funding Date and otherwise in accordance with Section 2.1(d).

(g)    The obligation of each Committed Lender to remit its share (if any) of Advances hereunder shall be several from that of each other Lender, and the failure of any Lender to so make any such amount available to the Borrower shall not relieve any other Lender which is a Committed Lender of its obligation hereunder.

Section 2.2    Procedures for Advances; Delivery of Loan Documents.

(a)    It shall be a condition precedent to any Advance (other than an Advance designed to fund Pre-Positioned Loans) that each of the delivery requirements set forth in Section 2(a) of the Custody Agreement shall have been satisfied with respect to any Eligible Loan (other than Pre-Positioned Loans) first included in the Collateral since the date of the prior Advance. No later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Funding Date, the Collateral Custodian shall have delivered to the Facility Agent, the Managing Agents and the Documentation Agent with respect to each Loan a Custodian Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit A‑1 to the Custody Agreement, which shall not be subject to exceptions stated in a related Custodian Exceptions Report.

(b)    It shall be a condition precedent to any Advance designed to fund Pre-Positioned Loans that each of the delivery requirements set forth in Section 2(b) of the Custody Agreement that are required to have been satisfied on or prior to the related Funding Date shall have been satisfied with respect to each such Pre-Positioned Loan. No later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Funding Date, the Collateral Custodian shall have delivered to the Facility Agent, the Managing Agents and the Documentation Agent with respect to each such Pre-Positioned Loan a Custodian Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit A‑2 to the Custody Agreement, which shall not be subject to exceptions stated in the Custodian Exceptions Report (other than with respect to the delivery of items in the related Loan File which are not required to be delivered on or prior to the Funding Date in accordance with Section 2(b)(v) or 2(b)(vii) of the Custody Agreement).

(c)    The parties acknowledge and agree that deliveries of the foregoing documents, instruments and certificates made by the Originator to the Facility Agent, the Documentation Agent or the Collateral Custodian pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or the Custody Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.3    Prepayments.

(a)    At any time during the Revolving Period other than a Payment Date, the Borrower may prepay, in accordance with this Section 2.3, all or any portion of the Outstanding Borrowings. Any such prepayment shall be made to the Paying Agent for payment on a pro rata and pari passu basis to the Lenders. The Servicer shall have discretion to determine whether any such repayment is paid from available Interest Collections and/or Principal Collections. The amount of any prepayment shall include any accrued and unpaid Interest on the amount prepaid and any Breakage Costs related thereto. Any partial prepayment by the Borrower of Advances pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be in a minimum amount of $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in any case if less, the then Outstanding Borrowings. Any amount prepaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed during the Revolving Period.

(b)    Any prepayment shall be in an amount not to exceed the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate amount in and available from the Collection Account (including the proceeds of any permitted Servicer Advances theretofore made) over (ii) 150% of the aggregate amount necessary on the following Payment Date, in the good faith estimation of the Servicer, to make the required payments under the Priority of Payments (after giving effect to any prepayments under this Section 2.3).

(c)    In conjunction with any prepayment, the Borrower shall deliver to the Documentation Agent a Borrower Notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A‑3 at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such repayment (or, in each case, such later time as each Lender, in its sole discretion, may agree), specifying the date and amount of the prepayment, a written statement of the amounts estimated by the Servicer to be necessary to make the required payments under the Priority of Payments under Section 2.3(b) and certifying that, following such prepayment, the Borrower will be in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon receipt of any such Borrower Notice, the Documentation Agent shall promptly forward a copy thereof to the Facility

Agent, the Collateral Custodian, each Managing Agent and Lender. The amount set forth in any such Borrower Notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. A Borrower Notice relating to any such prepayment shall be irrevocable when delivered.

Section 2.4    Principal Repayments.

The Outstanding Borrowings shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. In addition, Outstanding Borrowings shall be repaid on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and any amount so repaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed hereunder during the Revolving Period.

Section 2.5    The Notes.

(a)    The Advances made by any Lender hereunder shall, at the request of such Lender, be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note of the Borrower payable to such Lender in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto or in substantially the form of any promissory note as permitted prior to the Sixth Restatement Effective Date (collectively, the “Notes”). Any Note issued to a Lender on or after the Sixth Restatement Effective Date shall be dated the Sixth Restatement Effective Date or such later date on which such Person becomes a Lender hereunder. All Notes shall be in a maximum principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment or Maximum Advance Amount (as applicable) and shall otherwise be duly completed. Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by a Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment permitted pursuant to Article XI) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns.

(b)    Each Lender is hereby authorized to enter on a schedule attached to the Note as to which it is the payee the following notations (which may be computer generated) with respect to each Advance made by such Lender:  (i) the date and principal amount thereof and (ii) each payment and repayment of principal thereof, and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded. The failure of a Lender to obtain a Note or to make any such notation on the schedule attached to an applicable Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with their respective terms as set forth herein.

Section 2.6    Interest Payments.

(a)    Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance for each day during the period commencing on and including the Funding Date of such Advance until but excluding the date that such Advance shall be paid in full at the applicable Interest Rate for such day. Interest on the Outstanding Borrowings shall be payable on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments or as otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.3.

(b)    If any Lender shall notify the Documentation Agent and the Calculation Agent that a Eurodollar Disruption Event has occurred, the (i) Documentation Agent shall promptly notify the Servicer and Borrower and (ii) the Calculation Agent shall in turn so notify the Borrower, whereupon all Advances of such Lender in respect of which Interest accrues at the LIBO Rate shall

immediately be converted into Advances in respect of which Interest accrues based on the Alternate Base Rate (but shall on the next Payment Date revert to accruing Interest based on the LIBO Rate upon such Lender’s prompt notice to the Documentation Agent and the Calculation Agent that such Eurodollar Disruption Event shall no longer be continuing, which notice the Calculation Agent shall forward to the Borrower). The Facility Agent shall notify the Calculation Agent and the Borrower of the occurrence of any other date on which Interest on Advances commences to accrue based on the Alternate Base Rate rather than the LIBO Rate as herein provided.

(c)    Anything in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time the rate of interest payable by any Person under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under Applicable Law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then, so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be exceeded, the rate of interest under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate. If at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, such Person shall continue to pay interest under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received from such Person is equal to the total interest that would have been received had Applicable Law not limited the interest rate payable under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. In no event shall the total interest received by a Lender under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents exceed the amount that such Lender could lawfully have received, had the interest due under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents been calculated since the Closing Date at the Maximum Lawful Rate.

Section 2.7    Fees.

(a)    On each Payment Date and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid from the Collection Account to the Paying Agent, for distribution to the Lenders, the Unused Fee and such other fees and amounts payable as specified in the Lenders Fee Letter.

(b)    On each Payment Date and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid from the Collection Account the Servicing Fee, the Backup Servicing Fee, the Custodian Fee and the respective Agents Fees as specified in the Agents/Backup Servicer Fee Letter.

Section 2.8    Priority of Payments.

(a)    On each Payment Date, the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower shall direct the Paying Agent to pay to the following Persons, from the Collection Account, to the extent of (i) available funds received with respect to the related Collection Period, (including any amounts transferred on such Payment Date from the Interest Reserve Account pursuant to Section 7.4(g)(iii)), and (ii) Servicer Advances, if any, with respect to such Collection Period or the related Payment Date (the sum of such amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) being the “Available Collections”) the following amounts and in accordance with the relevant Monthly Report, from (and, where

applicable, limited to) the following sources, in the following order of priority (the “Priority of Payments”):

(b)    The Calculation Agent shall determine the Interest Rate applicable to each Advance for each day during each Accrual Period (including the LIBO Rate or Alternate Base Rate, if applicable, used in determining such Interest Rate). Not later than the Business Day preceding the Reporting Date relating to an Accrual Period, the Calculation Agent shall provide a written statement to the Borrower, the Servicer, the Documentation Agent, the Facility Agent and each Managing Agent, together with any supporting documentation or calculations (including such additional information as the Borrower, the Servicer, the Facility Agent or any Managing Agent may reasonably request), setting forth the Interest Rate applicable to each Advance for each day during each Accrual Period, the LIBO Rate (if used in determining such Interest Rate) and the Alternate Base Rate (if used in determining such Interest Rate) applicable to such Accrual Period.

(c)    Not later than the Reporting Date relating to each Payment Date, the Documentation Agent shall provide a written notice or other statement to the Borrower and the Servicer, with a copy to the Facility Agent, the Paying Agent and each Managing Agent, stating (A) the amount of Interest, Unused Fees, Agents Fees, Breakage Costs and other Obligations that are due and payable to any Agent, Lender or other Secured Party on such Payment Date and (B) the amount of the Servicing Fee, the Backup Servicing Fee and the Custodian Fee that are due and payable to any Agent, Lender or other Secured Party on such Payment Date.

(d)    Funds may only be withdrawn from the Collection Account on dates other than Payment Dates for the payment of (w) Taxes and governmental registration, filing and similar fees, if any, then due and owing by the Borrower and which would otherwise be paid on the next following Payment Date pursuant to clause (i) of Section 2.8(a), (x) Administrative Expenses due and owing by the Borrower and which would otherwise be paid on the next following Payment Date pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 2.8(a) (and subject, together with other payments pursuant to this clause (x) or pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 2.8(a), to the Annual Expense Cap), (y) prepayments permitted pursuant to Section 2.3 and (z) payment of fees on the Sixth Restatement Effective Date as contemplated by Section 3.1(b), provided that, with respect to this clause (z), in the good faith estimation of the Servicer, the aggregate amount available in the Collection Account (after giving effect to any payments under this Section 2.8(d)) is sufficient to make the required payments under the Priority of Payments on the following Payment Date. In addition, on the date of any purchase of a Transferred Loan by the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.7(a) or (b), any sale of a Transferred Loan by the Borrower pursuant to Section 7.7(c) or any purchase of any Transferred Loan by the Originator pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Purchase Agreement, the Borrower may withdraw from the Collection Account an amount up to the applicable Release Price, the Optional Purchase Price or the Third Party Purchase Price, as the case may be, to the extent of the amount deposited into the Collection Account in respect thereof; provided that (i) after giving effect to such withdrawal, there shall exist no Revolving Period Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event and each of the Borrowing Base Test, the Overcollateralization Ratio Test, the Required Equity Test and the Interest Coverage Test is and remains satisfied and (ii) in the good faith estimation

of the Servicer, the aggregate amount available in the Collection Account (after giving effect to such withdrawal and to payments under the first sentence of this Section 2.8(d) on such day) is sufficient to make the required payments under the Priority of Payments on the following Payment Date. Any withdrawals permitted pursuant to this Section 2.8(d) shall be made at the direction of the Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, delivered to the Paying Agent. Delivery of any such direction by the Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, to the Paying Agent shall constitute a certification by the Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, that such withdrawal is permitted under the terms of this Agreement.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, on the Sixth Restatement Effective Date the Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, shall direct the Paying Agent to pay from the Collection Account to (i) each Lender having Advances which are being repaid on such date pursuant to Section 2.16 an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Interest on such Advances through such date and the accrued and unpaid portion of Facility Fees calculated by reference to such Advances through such date and (ii) each Person that is ceasing to be a Lender on such date an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid Interest on its outstanding Advances and all accrued and unpaid Facility Fees through such date, in each case in full payment thereof and such payment to each such Lender or such other Person being limited to its pro rata share of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account. For purposes of this Section 2.8(e), the terms “Interest” and “Facility Fees” have the respective meanings assigned to them in this Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Sixth Restatement Effective Date.

Section 2.9    Collections and Allocations.

The Borrower or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower shall promptly (but in no event later than the Business Day after the receipt thereof) identify any Collections received by it as being on account of Interest Collections or Principal Collections and remit all such Interest Collections or Principal Collections received directly by it to the Paying Agent for deposit into the Collection Account. The Servicer on behalf of the Borrower shall make such deposits or payments on the date indicated by wire transfer, in immediately available funds.

Section 2.10    Payments, Computations, Etc.

(a)    Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds. The Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law and, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder (including payments that are deferred in accordance with the Priority of Payments by reason of insufficient Available Collections) at the rate per annum set forth in the Lenders Fee Letter, payable on demand; provided, however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate. All computations of interest and all computations of the Interest Rate and other 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; provided that any computations of the Interest Rate using the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days (or, in the case of an accrual period which

occurs in a leap year, 366 days) for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

(b)    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 be reflected in the computation of Interest, other interest or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be; provided, however, that if the preceding extension results in a Payment Date in respect of any Accrual Period occurring later than otherwise scheduled, Interest in respect of the following Accrual Period shall not begin to accrue until the date to which such Payment Date is extended.

(c)    All payments hereunder shall be made in accordance with the Priority of Payments and without set-off or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement (after withholding for or on account of any Taxes).

(d)    The Paying Agent shall distribute funds received by it for the account of other Persons entitled thereto (including such Paying Agent for its own account) as promptly as practicable after such receipt and in any event on the same Business Day on which such funds are received, if such receipt occurs no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), and otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day, in accordance (where applicable) with the Priority of Payments.

(e)    Neither the Borrower nor the Servicer shall be accountable or liable for any use or application of any amounts paid to the Paying Agent or any Lender in accordance with the Transaction Documents.

Section 2.11    Breakage Costs.

The Borrower shall pay, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the Paying Agent, for payment to any applicable Lender upon the request of any Lender or Managing Agent on each date on which a prepayment is made in accordance with the Priority of Payments, such amount or amounts as shall, without duplication, compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense (excluding administrative costs) (the “Breakage Costs”) incurred by such Lender (as reasonably documented by such Lender and delivered to the Borrower) as a result of (i) any prepayment of an Advance, other than an Advance which bears interest based on the Alternate Base Rate, on a date other than a Payment Date, (ii) any failure to repay or prepay an Advance on a Payment Date that (x) is required to be paid or (y) the Borrower has elected to prepay on such Payment Date, or (iii) any failure on the part of the Borrower to accept or take an Advance as to which a Funding Request shall have been delivered to be made on the Funding Date specified in such Funding Request for any reason, including the Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions to the making of such Advance set forth in Section 2.1 or 2.2 or Article III, but excluding (A) a default by any Lender in making its share of such Advance when required under the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (B) a failure of an Advance (or the applicable portion thereof) designated to fund one or more Pre-Positioned Loans to be made on the Funding Date specified in the applicable Funding Request to the extent such Funding Request shall have been amended or revoked in accordance with Section 2.1(c) by no later than 5:00 p.m. on the second Business Day immediately

preceding the Funding Date. Such Breakage Costs to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Advance had such event not occurred, at the Interest Rate that would have been applicable to such Advance, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Accrual Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, for the period that would have been the initial Accrual Period for such Advance), over (ii) the amount of Interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market (whether or not any Advances by such Lender are in fact funded in the eurodollar market). The determination by any Lender of the amount of any such Breakage Costs shall be set forth in a written notice to the Borrower, the Servicer and the Documentation Agent delivered by the applicable Lender prior to the date of such prepayment in the case where notice of such prepayment is delivered to such Lender in accordance with Section 2.3 or within two (2) Business Days following such prepayment in the case where no such notice is delivered (in which case, Breakage Costs shall include interest thereon from the date of such prepayment), or in the case of a failure of an Advance to be made, within two (2) Business Days following the stated Funding Date for such Advance (in which case, Breakage Costs shall include interest thereon from such stated Funding Date), and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.12    Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a)    If after the date hereof, any Affected Party shall be charged any fee, expense or increased cost on account of the adoption of any Applicable Law (including any Applicable Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity), any accounting principles or any change in any of the foregoing, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, any central bank or any comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority or agency (a “Regulatory Change”): (i) that subjects any Affected Party to any charge or withholding on or with respect to any Transaction Document or an Affected Party’s obligations under a Transaction Document, or on or with respect to the Advances, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Affected Party of any amounts payable under any Transaction Document (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of an Affected Party or taxes excluded by Section 2.13) or (ii) that 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 Transaction Document or (iii) that imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to an Affected Party of performing its obligations under a Transaction Document, or to reduce the rate of return on an Affected Party’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under a Transaction Document, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under a Transaction Document 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 applicable Lender (on behalf of the relevant Affected Party) or an Agent to the Borrower, with a copy to the Servicer, the Documentation Agent and the applicable Managing Agent, the Borrower shall pay, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the Paying Agent, for payment

to any applicable Lenders for the benefit of the relevant Affected Party or to the applicable Agent, as the case may be, such amounts charged to such Affected Party or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Affected Party for such increased cost or such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, (A) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all Applicable Laws, principles, interpretations, administrations, requests or directives promulgated thereunder and (B) all Applicable Laws, principles, interpretations, administrations, requests or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or United States or foreign Governmental Authorities or central banks or comparable agencies, in each case pursuant to Basel III, are deemed to have been adopted or changed after the date hereof, regardless of the date the same were adopted or changed.

(b)    If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in Section 2.12(a), an Affected Party is required to compensate a Funding Source or Support Provider in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then on the next Payment Date after demand by the relevant Lender, on behalf of such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, for payment to any applicable Lender for the benefit of the relevant Affected Party, such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any such amounts paid by it.

(c)    In determining any amount provided for in this section, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.12 shall submit to the Borrower, with a copy to the Documentation Agent and the Servicer, a certificate as to such additional or increased cost or reduction, which certificate shall calculate in reasonable detail any such cost or reduction and shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

Section 2.13    Taxes.

(a)    All payments made by the Borrower in respect of any Advance and all payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, unless such withholding or deduction is required by Applicable Law. In such event, the Borrower shall pay, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the appropriate taxing authority any such Taxes required to be deducted or withheld and the amount payable to each Lender or Agent (as the case may be) will be increased (such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that every net payment made under this Agreement, after deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes (including any Taxes on such increase), is equal to the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been deducted or withheld; provided that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts will not apply to, and the term “Additional Amount” shall not include, net income or franchise taxes imposed on a Lender or Agent, respectively, with respect to payments required to be made by the Borrower or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement, by a taxing jurisdiction in which such Lender or Agent is organized, conducts business or is paying taxes as of the Closing Date (as the case may be). If a Lender or Agent pays any Taxes in respect of which the Borrower is obligated to pay Additional Amounts under this Section 2.13(a), the Borrower shall promptly reimburse such Lender or Agent in full.

(b)    The Borrower will indemnify each Lender and Agent, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, for the full amount of Taxes in respect of which the Borrower is required to pay Additional Amounts (including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on such Additional Amounts) paid by such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, however, that such Lender or Agent, as appropriate, making a demand for indemnity payment, shall provide the Borrower, at its address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof, with a certificate from the relevant taxing authority or from a Responsible Officer of such Lender or Agent stating or otherwise evidencing that such Lender or Agent has made payment of such Taxes and will promptly provide a copy of or extract from documentation, if available, furnished by such taxing authority evidencing assertion or payment of such Taxes. This indemnification shall be made within ten days from the date such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor by notice to the Borrower and the Servicer, with a copy to the Documentation Agent.

(c)    Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of any Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the applicable Agent or Lender at its address specified in Section 12.2, with a copy to the Documentation Agent, appropriate evidence of payment thereof.

(d)    If an Agent or Lender is not created or organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, such Agent or Lender shall, within 15 days after the date hereof, or, if later, the date on which such Agent or Lender becomes an Agent or Lender, as applicable, hereunder, and at any other time or times required under Applicable Laws or as reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, any Managing Agent, the Paying Agent or the Facility Agent, deliver to the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian, the applicable Managing Agent and the Paying Agent (i) two (or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws) duly completed copies of IRS Form W‑8ECI, Form W‑8IMY or Form W‑8BEN (or any successor forms or other certificates or statements that may be required from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities or Applicable Laws), as appropriate, to permit the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian, such Managing Agent and the Paying Agent, as applicable, to make payments hereunder for the account of such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes and (ii) upon the obsolescence of or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in, any form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.13(d), two copies (or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws) of such additional, amended or successor forms, certificates or statements as may be required under Applicable Laws to permit the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian, such Managing Agent and the Paying Agent, as applicable, to make payments hereunder for the account of such Agent or Lender, without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes.

(e)    For any period with respect to which an Agent or Lender has failed to provide the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian, a Managing Agent or the Paying Agent, as applicable, with the appropriate form, certificate or statement described in Section 2.13(d) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date of this Agreement), such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.13(a) or 2.13(b) with respect to any Taxes.

(f)    If, in connection with a Support Agreement, a Conduit Lender is required to compensate a Support Provider in respect of Taxes under circumstances similar to those described in this section, then on the Payment Date after demand made at least ten days prior to such Payment Date by such Conduit Lender, the Borrower shall pay, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the Paying Agent, for payment to the applicable Conduit Lender, such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Conduit Lender for any amounts paid by it.

Section 2.14    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)    If (i) a Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to a Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 in accordance with the Priority of Payments, (iii) a Lender makes a demand pursuant to Section 2.13 or (iv) an Affected Party is required to compensate a Funding Source or Support Provider in respect of any such occurrence, then such Lender or other Affected Party shall, or shall cause such Funding Source or Support Provider to, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office (if such Lender, Affected Party, Funding Source or Support Provider has multiple lending offices) for funding and booking its Advances hereunder or to assign it rights and obligation hereunder to any other of its offices, branches or affiliates (if such Lender, Affected Party, Funding Source or Support Provider has multiple offices, branches or lending affiliates, as applicable), if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Affected Party, such designation or assignment (A) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for any notice pursuant to Section 2.12, as applicable, and (B) in each case, would not subject such Lender, Affected Party, Funding Source or Support Provider to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender, Affected Party, Funding Source or Support Provider. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Affected Party in connection any such designation or assignment.

(b)    If (i) (A) a Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, (B) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to a Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 in accordance with the Priority of Payments, or (C) an Affected Party is required to compensate a Funding Source or Support Provider in respect of any such occurrence, and the amount of such compensation or additional amounts, as applicable, is materially in excess (on a basis proportional to outstanding Advances or Commitments, as applicable) of the amounts payable to other Lenders or Affected Parties, as applicable, or (ii) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto or an Affected Party, as the case may be, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender or Affected Party, as the case may be, and the Facility Agent, require (x) such Lender or the Lender to which such Affected Party relates, as applicable, if consented to by all others Lenders and the Managing Agent in such Lender’s Lender Group or (y) if not so consented, all Lenders and the Managing Agent in such Lender Group, to, assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Article XI), all and not less than all of its or their interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to an assignee or assignees that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if such other Lender accepts such

assignment); provided that: (x) each assigning Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to all of its Advances outstanding, accrued Interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it and its Affected Parties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents through (but excluding) the date of such assignment from the assignee (to the extent of such Advances outstanding, accrued Interest thereon and accrued fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (y) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation or additional amounts under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.13, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation, additional amounts or payments thereafter and (z) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law. A Lender or other Affected Party shall not be required to make, or cause to be made, any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or Affected Party or otherwise the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.15    Changes in Facility Amount.

(a)    On any date prior to the Revolving Period Termination Date, the Borrower may request an increase in the Facility Amount, to an amount not exceeding the Maximum Facility Amount, through an increase in like amount of the aggregate Commitments (a “Facility Increase”). Such request shall be made by notice to the Documentation Agent, shall identify the Lenders agreeing to increase their Commitments or additional Persons agreeing to become additional Lenders and shall specify, for each such Lender or other Person, the identity thereof and the amount of its proposed Commitment. The Documentation Agent shall promptly provide a copy of any such notice to the Facility Agent and each Managing Agent, and each Managing Agent, upon receipt thereof, shall promptly provide a copy thereof to each Lender in its Lender Group. Any Facility Increase shall be subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.15(c) below, and

(i)    to the extent such Facility Increase consists of additional Persons becoming Lenders hereunder, such Facility Increase shall become effective upon the execution and delivery by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Facility Agent, each such Person and the Managing Agent for its Lender Group (and without the requirement of consent from any other Lender or Agent) of an agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C‑2 hereto (a “Joinder Agreement”); and

(ii)    to the extent such Facility Increase consists of Lenders increasing their Commitments, such Facility Increase shall become effective upon the execution and delivery by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Facility Agent, each such increasing Lender and the Managing Agent for its Lender Group (and without the requirement of consent from any other Lender or Agent) of an agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C‑3 hereto (a “Commitment Increase Agreement”).

(b)    Upon the effectiveness of a Joinder Agreement, each additional Person or Persons agreeing to become a Lender thereby shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by Borrower, the Lenders or the Agents. Promptly following the effectiveness of any Joinder Agreement or

Commitment Increase Agreement, the Facility Agent shall record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice thereof to each Lender.

(c)    Each Facility Increase shall be subject to the conditions precedent that:

(i)    such Facility Increase shall have been consented to by the Facility Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(ii)    unless otherwise consented to by the Facility Agent, the minimum increase in the Facility Amount shall be $5,000,000;

(iii)    after giving effect to such increase, the Facility Amount shall not exceed the Maximum Facility Amount;

(iv)    all Lenders shall have the pro rata benefit of any increased Interest margins, Unused Fees payable (directly or indirectly) for the benefit of any Lenders which are increasing or assuming new Commitments in connection with such Facility Increase;

(v)    the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1 and 7.8 shall be true and correct on and as of the date of such Facility Increase, before and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date;

(vi)    no event that constitutes a Revolving Period Termination Event has occurred and is continuing or would result from such Facility Increase;

(vii)    the Borrowing Base Test shall be satisfied;

(viii)    the Overcollateralization Ratio Test shall be satisfied;

(ix)    the Required Equity Test shall be satisfied;

(x)    each Collateral Quality Test shall be satisfied;

(xi)    there shall have been no Material Adverse Change with respect to the Borrower or the Servicer since the date of the most recent Advance;

(xii)    if, as of the date of the notice from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15(a), any new unfunded Advances had been requested or repayments of Advances would result pursuant to Section 2.16 in connection with any Facility Increase, the Documentation Agent shall have provided to each Lender a copy of such notice required pursuant to Section 2.15(a) not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such Facility Increase; and

(xiii)    the Servicer and the Borrower shall have taken such other action, including delivery of approvals, consents, opinions, documents, and instruments to the Facility Agent as it may reasonably request.

(d)    The Borrower shall be entitled at its option and without premium or penalty, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Revolving Period Termination Event, to reduce the Facility Amount in whole or in part, by delivering a Borrower Notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A‑2 to the Documentation Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such reduction; provided that any partial reduction of the Facility Amount shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (I) the Availability or (II) $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such Borrower Notice, the Documentation Agent shall promptly forward a copy thereof to the Facility Agent, each Managing Agent and Lender. Unless otherwise agreed by the Facility Agent and the Lenders, the Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced ratably in proportion to such reduction in the Facility Amount. Any request for a reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.15(d) shall be irrevocable.

Section 2.16    Reallocations.

Upon the effectiveness of the Sixth Restatement Effective Date and upon the effectiveness of any other non-pro rata Facility Increase or any reallocation of Commitments pursuant to Section 2.15, each Lender shall sell to the other Lenders (as determined by the Facility Agent), and each Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders (as so determined by the Facility Agent) an interest in the outstanding Advances, for a purchase price equal to the portion of the principal balance sold and purchased, so that, after giving effect to such sale and purchase, as nearly as practical, the aggregate Advances funded by each Lender Group are proportional to the aggregate Commitments of the Committed Lenders in the Lender Groups.

Section 2.17    Defaulting Lenders.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote in respect of any amendment, consent or waiver of the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or to direct any action or inaction of the Facility Agent or the Documentation Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of the Required Lenders shall be suspended at all times that such Lender remains a Defaulting Lender; provided, however, that, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.17, the foregoing suspension shall not empower Lenders which are not Defaulting Lenders to increase a Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, decrease the rate of interest or fees applicable to, or extend the maturity date of, such Defaulting Lender’s Advances or other Obligations owing to such Lender, in each case, without such Lender’s consent. No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.17, performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section 2.17.

(b)    To the extent that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender with respect to an Advance on any Borrowing Date, the Borrower may deliver a notice to all Lenders and Agents, specifying such Borrowing Date, the identity of the Defaulting Lender and the share of such Advance which the Defaulting Lender failed to fund, which notice shall be deemed to be an additional Borrowing Request in respect of such unfunded Advance, and each Committed Lender shall, to the

extent of its remaining unfunded Commitment and subject to the continued fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.2 and Article III with respect to such Advance, fund its Funding Percentage (recomputed by excluding the Commitment of Defaulting Lenders from the Facility Amount) of such unfunded Advance by not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the date of such notice. Nothing in this Section 2.17 shall be interpreted to limit the Borrower’s right to otherwise issue any Borrowing Request.

(c)    Until the Defaulting Lender Excess of a Defaulting Lender has been reduced to zero, any payment of the principal of any Outstanding Borrowings to a Defaulting Lender shall, unless the Required Lenders agree otherwise, be applied first, (i) to the pro rata share, and to the extent, of Outstanding Borrowings of the Lenders that funded any defaulted Advances pursuant to Section 2.17(b) and then (ii) to the pro rata share of all remaining Outstanding Borrowings of the Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders. Subject to the preceding sentence, any amount paid by or on behalf of the Borrower for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be applied to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority until such Defaulting Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender as provided below: first, to the funding of any portion of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Facility Agent; second, held in a segregated subaccount of the Collection Account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of Advances under this Agreement; and third, after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations, to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(d)    During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall not accrue or be required to pay, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive, the portion of Unused Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents at any time, or with respect to any period, that such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(e)    During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by giving written notice thereof to the Facility Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders and Managing Agents, require such Defaulting Lender, at the cost and expense of the Borrower, to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Article XI), (i) all and not less than all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to an assignee or assignees that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if such other Lender accepts such assignment) in whole or (ii) all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents with respect to all prospective Commitments, including any unfunded Commitment as of the date of such assignment. No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such complete or partial replacement or to assist in finding an assignee. In connection with any such complete or partial assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance. No such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, (A) to the extent that the assignee is

assuming the interests, rights and obligations of the Defaulting Lender, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Facility Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Borrower or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) the full pro rata share of all Advances held by such Defaulted Lender or members of such Defaulting Lender Group, as applicable, (B) to the extent that the assignee is assuming the interests, rights and obligations of the Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender or members of such Defaulting Lender Group, as applicable, shall have received payment of an amount equal to all of its Advances outstanding, accrued Interest thereon, accrued fees (subject to Section 2.17(d)) and all other amounts, including any Breakage Costs, payable to it and its Affected Parties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents through (but excluding) the date of such assignment from the assignee or the Borrower, and (C) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.17(e), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(f)    In addition to any rights under Section 2.14(b), during any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may (with the consent of the Facility Agent), by giving notice to such Defaulting Lender, its Managing Agent, the Facility Agent and the Documentation Agent, terminate in full the Commitments of all Committed Lenders in such Defaulting Lender Group and repay all Advances owed to the Lenders in such Defaulting Lender Group, together with all accrued Interest thereon, accrued fees (subject to Section 2.17(d)) and all other amounts payable to members of such Defaulting Lender Group and their Affected Parties hereunder and the other Transaction Documents through (but excluding) the date of such termination (a “Defaulting Lender Termination”), so long as on the effective date of such Defaulting Lender Termination and after giving effect thereto and to any repayment of all Advances owed to members of such Defaulting Lender Group in connection therewith, no Default or Event of Default exists (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent to such Defaulting Lender Termination). A Defaulting Lender Termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower or any Agent or Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. Each such notice shall specify the effective date of such Defaulting Lender Termination (the “Defaulting Lender Termination Date”), which shall be not less than 5 Business Days (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Facility Agent, the Documentation Agent and each member of such Defaulting Lender Group) after the date on which such notice is delivered to such Defaulting Lender, its Managing Agent, the Facility Agent and the Documentation Agent. On each such Defaulting Lender Termination Date, subject to the concurrent repayment of all outstanding Advances to the Lenders in such Defaulting Lender Group, together with all accrued Interest thereon, accrued fees (subject to Section 2.17(d)) and all other amounts payable to members of such Defaulting Lender Group and their Affected Parties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents through (but excluding) the date of such termination, (i) the Commitment or Maximum Advance Amount, as applicable, of each Lender in such Defaulting

Lender Group shall be reduced to zero, (ii) each Lender in such Defaulting Lender Group shall cease to be a “Lender” hereunder (provided that any such Lender shall continue to be entitled to the indemnification provisions contained herein, but only with respect to matters arising prior to the date on which such Lender became a Defaulting Lender), (iii) the Managing Agent of the Defaulting Lender Group shall cease to be a party hereto (provided that any such Managing Agent shall continue to be entitled to the indemnification provisions contained herein, but only with respect to matters arising prior to the applicable Defaulting Lender Termination Date) and (iv) the Commitments or Maximum Advance Amounts, as applicable, of all other Lenders shall remain unchanged. To the fullest extent otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement, the Borrower shall be entitled to submit a Borrowing Request to Lenders that are not part of a Defaulting Lender Group in order to fund payments to a Defaulting Lender Group as contemplated herein.

(g)    If the Borrower, the Servicer, and the Facility Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Facility Agent will so notify the Lenders, the Managing Agents and the Documentation Agent, whereupon, as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders and make such other adjustments as the Documentation Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary to cause the interest of the Lenders in the Outstanding Borrowings to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Funding Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or forfeited pursuant to Section 2.17(d) while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no cure by a Lender under this Section 2.17(g) of its status as a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(h)    The rights and remedies of the Borrower, any Agent or the other Lenders against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.17 are in addition to any other rights and remedies the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders may have against such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise.

(i)    Any Lender that fails to timely fund an Advance shall be obligated to promptly (but in any event not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day after the relevant Funding Date) notify the Documentation Agent, the Borrower and the Facility Agent if any such failure is the result of an administrative error or omission by such Lender or force majeure, computer malfunction, interruption of communication facilities, labor difficulties or other causes, in each case to the extent beyond the Lender’s reasonable control. If (i) the Documentation Agent had been notified by the Borrower or the affected Lender that a Lender has failed to timely fund an Advance, (ii) a Responsible Officer of the Documentation Agent has actual knowledge or has written notice that such Lender is the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding or has publicly announced that it does not intend to comply with its funding obligations under this Agreement or (iii) the Documentation Agent had been notified by the Facility Agent or the affected Lender that a Lender has failed timely to deliver the written confirmation contemplated by clause (a)(iii) of the

definition of “Defaulting Lender”, the Documentation Agent shall promptly provide notice to the Borrower, the Facility Agent and the Managing Agents of such occurrence.

Section 3.1    Conditions to Amendment and Restatement.

The amendments to the Existing Loan and Servicing Agreement set forth herein shall not become effective until, and no Lender shall be obligated to take, fulfill or perform any other action hereunder until, the following conditions have been satisfied, in the sole discretion of, or waived in writing by, the Facility Agent and the Required Lenders:

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of the Borrower to have entered into interest rate caps with respect to the portion of Fixed Rate Loans specified above in this Section 5.2 shall constitute an Event of Default without further notice or grace periods.

Section 6.1    Security Interest.

As collateral security for the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations, the Borrower hereby assigns, pledges and grants to the Facility Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, a lien on and security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of its obligations under) the Collateral, whether now existing or owned or hereafter arising or acquired by the Borrower, and wherever located. The assignment under this Section 6.1 does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Facility Agent or any of the Secured Parties of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Person in connection with any or all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Transferred Loans to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Facility Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral, and (c) none of the Facility Agent or any Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Facility Agent or any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

Section 6.2    Remedies.

In respect of the Collateral and the security interest therein granted pursuant to Section 6.1, the Facility Agent (for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties) shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and other Applicable Law. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Revolving Period Termination Event, the Facility Agent or its designees may (a) deliver a notice of exclusive control to the Custodian and/or the Securities Custodian; and (b) instruct the Collateral Custodian and/or the Securities Custodian to deliver any or all of the Collateral to the Facility Agent or its designees and otherwise give all instructions and entitlement orders to the Collateral Custodian and/or the Securities Custodian regarding the Collateral. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Facility Agent or its designees may (i) require that the Borrower or the Servicer immediately take action to liquidate the Collateral to pay amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations; (ii) sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner, all without judicial process or proceedings; (iii) take control of the Proceeds of any such Collateral; (iv) exercise any consensual or voting rights in respect of the Collateral; (v) release, make extensions, discharges, exchanges or substitutions for, or surrender all or any part of the Collateral; (vi) enforce

the Borrower’s rights and remedies under the Custody Agreement with respect to the Collateral; (vii) institute and prosecute legal and equitable proceedings to enforce collection of, or realize upon, any of the Collateral; (viii) remove from the Borrower’s, the Servicer’s, the Collateral Custodian’s, the Securities Custodian’s and their respective agents’ place of business all books, records and documents relating to the Collateral, other than copies of such books, records and documents remaining with the Borrower, Servicer, Collateral Custodian, Securities Custodian or agent, as the case may be, that are necessary to continue the conduct of the business of such Person); and/or (ix) endorse the name of the Borrower upon any items of payment relating to the Collateral or upon any proof of claim in bankruptcy against an account debtor. For purposes of taking the actions described in this Section 6.2, the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Facility Agent as its attorney-in-fact (which appointment being coupled with an interest is irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid), with power of substitution, in the name of the Facility Agent or in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Facility Agent, but at the cost and expense of the Borrower and without notice to the Borrower; provided that the Facility Agent hereby agrees to exercise such power only so long as a Revolving Period Termination Event or Event of Default, as applicable, shall be continuing. Any cash proceeds from the exercise of remedies by the Facility Agent under this Section 6.2 shall be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 6.3    Release of Liens.

(a)    So long as no Revolving Period Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, at the same time as any Loan that is part of the Collateral matures by its terms and all amounts in respect thereof have been paid by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account, the Facility Agent as agent for the Secured Parties will release its interest in such Loan and any Supplemental Interests related thereto. In connection with any such release on or after the occurrence of the above, the Facility Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, will execute and deliver to the Borrower or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower any termination statements and any other releases and instruments as the Borrower or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower may reasonably request in order to effect the release of such Loan and Supplemental Interest; provided that the Facility Agent as agent for the Secured Parties will make no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such Loan or Supplemental Interest in connection with such sale or transfer and assignment.

(b)    Upon receipt by the Facility Agent of any required proceeds in respect of a repurchase or substitution of an Ineligible Loan (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) by the Originator pursuant to the terms of Section 7.1 of the Purchase Agreement, the Facility Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, shall be deemed to have automatically released its interest in such Ineligible Loan and any Supplemental Interests related thereto without any further action on its part. In addition, upon written request from the Borrower and the Servicer (which request shall certify, in reasonable detail, the satisfaction of the conditions contained in this sentence), the Facility Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, shall promptly release its interest in any other Ineligible Loan and any Supplemental Interests related thereto; provided that, after giving effect to such release, (i) the Outstanding Borrowings shall not exceed 40% of the sum of the Aggregate Purchased Loan Balance plus the Account Amounts, (ii) the Overcollateralization Ratio is greater than 250%; (iii) each of the Required Equity Test, the Interest Coverage Test and each Collateral Quality Test are

satisfied, and (iv) no Revolving Period Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing. In connection with any such release pursuant to this Section 6.3(b), the Facility Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, will execute and deliver to the Borrower or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower any releases and instruments as the Borrower or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower may reasonably request in order to effect the release of such Ineligible Loan and Supplemental Interest.

(c)    Upon receipt by the Facility Agent of the proceeds of a purchase of a Transferred Loan by the Servicer or a sale of any Loan to a third party, in each case pursuant to the terms of Section 7.7, the Facility Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, shall be deemed to have automatically released its interest in such Transferred Loan and any Supplemental Interests related thereto without any further action on its part. In connection with any such release on or after the occurrence of such purchase, the Facility Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, will execute and deliver to the Borrower or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower any releases and instruments as the Borrower or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower may reasonably request in order to effect the release of such Transferred Loan and Supplemental Interest.

Section 6.4    Assignment of the Purchase Agreement.

The Borrower hereby assigns to the Facility Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder, all of the Borrower’s right and title to and interest in the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower confirms that following a Revolving Period Termination Event the Facility Agent shall have the sole right to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under the Purchase Agreement for the benefit of the Secured Parties, but without any obligation on the part of the Facility Agent, the Secured Parties or any of their respective Affiliates to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower under the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower further confirms and agrees that such assignment to the Facility Agent shall terminate upon the Final Date; provided, however, that the rights of the Facility Agent and the Secured Parties pursuant to such assignment with respect to rights and remedies in connection with any indemnities and any breach of any representation, warranty or covenants made by the Originator pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, which rights and remedies survive the termination of the Purchase Agreement, shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of such assignment.

Section 6.5    Delivery of Loan Files.

(a)    The Borrower, or the Servicer on its behalf, shall deliver possession of all “instruments” (within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC) not constituting part of “chattel paper” (within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC) that evidence any Transferred Loan set forth on a Loan List, including all Underlying Notes (except in the case of Noteless Loans, Global Note Loans or Participations) to the Collateral Custodian on behalf of the Facility Agent prior to the applicable Funding Dates, in each case endorsed in blank or to the Facility Agent, without recourse; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Pre-Positioned Loan, the Borrower shall make all deliveries required under Section 2(b)(ii) of the Custody Agreement and deliver all other portions of the Loan File in each case endorsed in blank without recourse, where applicable, not later than the applicable date or dates specified in Sections 2(b)(v) and 2(b)(viii) of the Custody Agreement. The Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the Servicer to deliver possession of all

such instruments and Loan Files to the Collateral Custodian on behalf of the Facility Agent, and agrees that such delivery shall satisfy the condition set forth in the first sentence of this Section 6.5(a). The Servicer shall also identify on each Loan List (including any amendment thereof), whether by attached schedule or marking or other effective identifying designation, all Transferred Loans that are not evidenced by such instruments.

(b)    Prior to the occurrence of a Revolving Period Termination Event, the Facility Agent shall not record any Assignments of Mortgage delivered pursuant to Section 6.5(a) and the definition of Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence of a Revolving Period Termination Event, the Facility Agent shall, if so directed by the Required Lenders, cause to be recorded in the appropriate offices each Assignment of Mortgage delivered to it with respect to all Transferred Loans. Each such recording shall be at the expense of the Servicer; provided that to the extent the Servicer does not pay such expenses, the Facility Agent shall be reimbursed pursuant to the Priority of Payments.

Section 6.6    Custody of Transferred Loans.

The contents of each Loan File relating to a Transferred Loan shall be held in the custody of the Collateral Custodian under the terms of the Custody Agreement and this Agreement on behalf of the Facility Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

Section 6.7    Filings, etc.

On or prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower and the Servicer caused the UCC financing statement(s) referred to in Section 4.1(n) to be filed, and from time to time the Servicer shall take and cause to be taken such actions and execute such documents as are necessary or desirable or as the Facility Agent may reasonably request to perfect and protect the first priority perfected security interest of the Facility Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in the Collateral against all other Persons, including the filing of financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements, the execution of transfer instruments and the making of notations on or taking possession of all records or documents of title. Notwithstanding the obligations of the Borrower and the Servicer set forth in the preceding sentence, the Borrower and the Servicer hereby authorize the Facility Agent to prepare and file, at the expense of the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf), UCC financing statements (including but not limited to renewal or continuation statements) and amendments or supplements thereto or other instruments as the Facility Agent may from time to time deem necessary or appropriate in order to perfect and maintain the security interest granted hereunder in accordance with the UCC. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable costs and disbursements in connection with the perfection and the maintenance of perfection, as against all third parties, of the Borrower’s and the Facility Agent’s (on behalf of the Secured Parties) right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (including the security interest in the Collateral related thereto and the security interests provided for herein), which costs, expenses and disbursements shall be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 6.8    Change of Name or Jurisdiction of Borrower; Records.

The Borrower (a) shall not change its name or jurisdiction of organization, without 30 days’ prior written notice to the Facility Agent, (b) shall not move, or consent to the Servicer or

Collateral Custodian moving, the Loan Documents without 30 days’ prior written notice to the Facility Agent and (c) will promptly take all actions required by each relevant jurisdiction in order to continue the first priority perfected security interest of the Facility Agent as agent for the Secured Parties in all Collateral (except for Borrower Permitted Liens), and such other actions with respect to the security interest of the Facility Agent in the Collateral as the Facility Agent may reasonably request.

Section 6.9    Global Note Loans.

The Borrower shall cause its beneficial interest in each Global Note Loan to be transferred to the Custody Account not later than the date specified in Section 2(a)(ii) or Section 2(b)(v), as applicable of the Custody Agreement. The Borrower will take such steps as reasonably requested by the Facility Agent from time to time to effect and perfect the security interest of the Facility Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in each Global Note Loan.

Section 7.1    Appointment of the Servicer.

The Borrower hereby appoints the Servicer to service the Transferred Loans and enforce its respective rights and interests in and under each Transferred Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article VII and to serve in such capacity until the termination of its responsibilities pursuant to Section 7.19. The Servicer hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations with respect thereto set forth herein.

(iv)    promptly delivering to the Borrower, any Lender or the Facility Agent, from time to time, such information and Servicing Records (including information relating to its performance under this Agreement) as the Borrower, such Lender or the Facility Agent from time to time reasonably requests;

(ix)    notifying the Borrower and each Lender and Agent of any material action, suit, proceeding, dispute, offset deduction, defense or counterclaim that is or is threatened to be (A) asserted by an Obligor with respect to any Transferred Loan; or (B) reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(c)    The Borrower and Servicer hereby acknowledge that the Secured Parties, the Facility Agent, the Securities Custodian and the Collateral Custodian shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Transferred Loans, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Servicer hereunder.

(d)    The Borrower and the Facility Agent acknowledge that PCC has entered into the Advisory Agreement with the Subservicer and that the Subservicer thereunder is performing on behalf of the initial Servicer substantially all of the initial Servicer’s non-monetary duties and obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding such delegation, (i) PCC, as Servicer, shall remain liable and responsible for the performance of the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its obligation to service the Transferred Loans and enforce the respective rights and interests of the Borrower and the Facility Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in and under each Transferred Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article VII, and (iii) PCC, as Servicer, shall be liable for the acts and omissions of the Subservicer in its performance of any duties or obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement. PCC, as Servicer, will be solely responsible for any compensation payable to the Subservicer. Upon the appointment of any Successor Servicer hereunder, any right, power or authority of the Servicer granted by PCC, as Servicer, to the Subservicer shall immediately terminate without further action by any party. Nothing contained in the Advisory Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify this Agreement. Without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Required Lenders, neither the Servicer nor any of its delegatees shall be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than the Subservicer pursuant to this Section 7.2(d); provided that the Backup Servicer in its capacity as Successor Servicer may delegate such duties or responsibilities in accordance with the Backup Servicing Agreement.

(a)    Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Facility Agent hereby authorizes the Servicer (including any successor thereto), to take any and all reasonable steps as it shall determine in its name and on behalf of each or any of the foregoing necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with the pledge of the Transferred Loans (i) to collect all amounts due under any and all Transferred Loans, including endorsing any of their names on checks and other instruments

representing Collections, (ii) to execute and deliver any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Transferred Loans and (iii) with respect to any delinquent Transferred Loan and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as the Originator could have done if it had continued to own such Loan. The Borrower shall furnish the Servicer (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Servicer to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectibility of the Transferred Loans. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make the Borrower, any Lender or Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Securities Custodian or the Facility Agent a party to any litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make the Borrower a party to any litigation (other than any routine foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Facility Agent’s consent.

(b)    After a Revolving Period Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, at the Facility Agent’s direction, the Servicer shall take such action as the Facility Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Transferred Loans; provided, however, that the Facility Agent may, at any time that a Revolving Period Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, notify any Obligor with respect to any Transferred Loans of the assignment of such Transferred Loans to the Facility Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due to the Borrower thereunder be made directly to the Facility Agent or any servicer, collection agent or lock-box or other account designated by the Facility Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrower, the Facility Agent may enforce collection of any such Transferred Loans and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof. The Facility Agent shall give written notice to any Successor Servicer of the Facility Agent’s actions or directions pursuant to this Section 7.3(b), and no Successor Servicer shall take any actions pursuant to this Section 7.3(b) that are outside of its Management Manual.

Section 7.4    Collection of Payments; Modifications; Reserves.

(a)    Collection Efforts, Modification of Loans. The Servicer will make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Transferred Loans as and when the same become due, and to follow those collection procedures which it follows with respect to comparable Loans that it services for itself or others. The Servicer may not waive, modify, amend, supplement or otherwise vary any provision of a Transferred Loan, except when acting on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1(s) for (i) waivers, modifications, amendments, supplements or other variations that are not Material Modifications and as may be in accordance with the provisions of the Management Manual (including the waiver of any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing any Loan included in the Collateral) to the extent that such Loan will remain an Eligible Loan, (ii) other waivers, modifications, amendments, supplements or other variations constituting Material Modifications, if (A) the Facility Agent shall have consented to such Material Modification or (B) the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have complied with the provisions of Section 5.1(v), and either (x) the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have received a renewed or reconfirmed DBRS Credit Assessment for the modified Transferred Loan which is not more than one notch lower than

the prior DBRS Credit Assessment or (y) with respect to not more than one Transferred Loan at any time, the Servicer shall have applied for a renewed or reconfirmed DBRS Credit Assessment for the modified Transferred Loan, shall reasonably expect that such renewed or reconfirmed DBRS Credit Assessment will be not more than one notch lower than the prior DBRS Credit Assessment and shall have notified the Facility Agent and the Documentation Agent of such expected DBRS Credit Assessment (and, in the case of this clause (y), until a renewed or reconfirmed DBRS Credit Assessment for the modified Transferred Loan has been received, the Applicable Rating thereof shall be based on the Servicer’s expected DBRS Credit Assessment as set forth in such notice), and (iii) such other waivers, modifications, amendments, supplements or other variations not addressed in clauses (i) or (ii) that do not result in the Borrower’s failure to satisfy the Borrowing Base Test, the Required Equity Test, the Overcollateralization Ratio Test, the Interest Coverage Test or any Collateral Quality Test or, with respect to any such test which was not satisfied immediately prior thereto, does not result in a failure to maintain or improve the Borrower’s degree of compliance with such test. In the event any modified Transferred Loan described in clause (ii)(B)(y) above receives a DBRS Credit Assessment that is more than one notch lower than its prior DBRS Credit Assessment, such Loan shall be deemed to be a Defaulted Loan from and after the date of such DBRS Credit Assessment.

(b)    Acceleration. The Servicer shall accelerate the maturity of all or any Scheduled Payments under any Transferred Loan under which a default under the terms thereof has occurred and is continuing (after the lapse of any applicable grace period) promptly after such Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan or such earlier or later time as is consistent with the Management Manual and the terms of such Loan unless otherwise consented to by the Facility Agent. The Servicer shall provide prompt notice to the Facility Agent and each Managing Agent of any such acceleration.

(c)    Taxes and other Amounts. To the extent provided for in any Transferred Loan, the Servicer will use its best efforts to collect all payments with respect to amounts due for taxes, assessments and insurance premiums relating to such Transferred Loans or the Related Property and remit such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or insurer on or prior to the date such payments are due.

(d)    Payments to Collection Account. On or before the Purchase Date in respect of any Transferred Loan, the Servicer shall have instructed the Obligor of such Transferred Loan to make all payments in respect thereof by wire transfer of funds directly to the Collection Account.

(e)    Establishment and Maintenance of the Collection Account.

(i)    The Borrower or the Servicer on its behalf have heretofore established and shall maintain in the name of the Borrower and assigned to the Facility Agent as agent for the Secured Parties, a segregated corporate trust account (the “Collection Account”) for the purpose of receiving Collections from the Collateral. The Collection Account shall be held by the Securities Custodian in accordance with the Custody Agreement and shall at all times be maintained with a Securities Intermediary which is an office or branch of a depository institution or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any one of the States thereof or the District of Columbia (or any domestic branch of a foreign

bank); provided, however, that at all times such depository institution or trust company shall be a Qualified Institution. The Securities Custodian may establish subaccounts within the Collection Account.

(ii)    To the extent there are uninvested amounts deposited in the Collection Account, the Servicer, prior to the occurrence of a Revolving Period Termination Event, and thereafter the Facility Agent, may direct the Securities Custodian to invest all such amounts in Permitted Investments selected by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower or by the Facility Agent, as the case may be. Any such Permitted Investments which are made prior to the occurrence of a Revolving Period Termination Event and on any day other than the Business Day immediately preceding a Payment Date shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date following the date of such investment, and otherwise any such Permitted Investments shall mature not later than the next Business Day immediately following the date of such investment. Any earnings (or losses) on investments of funds in the Collection Account shall be credited (or debited) to the Collection Account. Neither the Facility Agent nor the Securities Custodian shall be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment of funds in the Collection Account.

(f)    Establishment of Tax Reserve Accounts.

(i)    In the event that the Borrower is required to establish a cash reserve as contemplated by Section 4.1(k), the Borrower or the Servicer on its behalf shall cause to be established and maintained in the name of the Borrower, a segregated account for such reserve (each, a “Tax Reserve Account”) and shall cause such Tax Reserve Account to be subject to an Account Control Agreement. The Borrower shall on each Payment Date and in accordance with the Priority of Payments deposit sufficient funds therein from the amounts otherwise available to pay any Taxes being contested. Each Tax Reserve Account shall be subject to a security interest in favor of the Facility Agent as agent for the Secured Parties and shall be held by the Securities Custodian in accordance with the Custody Agreement and shall at all times be maintained with a Securities Intermediary which is an office or branch of a depository institution or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any one of the States thereof or the District of Columbia (or any domestic branch of a foreign bank); provided, however, that at all times such depository institution or trust company shall be a Qualified Institution.

(ii)    Any and all funds at any time on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, a Tax Reserve Account shall be available at the direction of the Servicer to fund payment of the Tax in respect of which such Tax Reserve Account was established. Upon receipt by the Securities Custodian and the Facility Agent of a certification from the Servicer and an Opinion of Counsel that the Borrower’s contest of the validity of a Tax for which a Tax Reserve Account

was established has concluded and that all amounts, if any, payable with respect to such Tax have been paid in full, the Securities Custodian shall at the direction of the Servicer transfer funds on deposit in such Tax Reserve Account to the Collection Account. On each Payment Date, any amounts on deposit in a Tax Reserve Account in excess of the amount required to be held therein in order for the Borrower to remain in compliance with Section 4.1(k) with respect to the related Tax being contested shall be transferred by the Securities Custodian at the direction of the Servicer to the Collection Account.

(iii)    To the extent there are uninvested amounts deposited in a Tax Reserve Account, the Servicer, prior to the occurrence of a Revolving Period Termination Event, and thereafter the Facility Agent may direct the Securities Custodian to invest all such amounts in Permitted Investments selected by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower or by the Facility Agent, as the case may be. Any such Permitted Investments shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately following the date of such investment. Any earnings (and losses) on investments of funds in a Tax Reserve Account shall be credited (or debited) to such Tax Reserve Account. Neither the Facility Agent nor the Securities Custodian shall be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment of funds in any Tax Reserve Account.

(g)    Establishment and Maintenance of the Interest Reserve Account.

(i)    The Borrower or the Servicer on its behalf have heretofore established and shall maintain in the name of the Borrower and assigned to the Facility Agent as agent for the Secured Parties, a segregated corporate trust account (the “Interest Reserve Account”). The Interest Reserve Account shall be held by the Securities Custodian in accordance with the Custody Agreement and shall at all times be maintained with a Securities Intermediary which is an office or branch of a depository institution or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any one of the States thereof or the District of Columbia (or any domestic branch of a foreign bank); provided, however, that at all times such depository institution or trust company shall be a Qualified Institution.

(ii)    Deposits shall be made into the Interest Reserve Account in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and the Borrower may make deposits into the Interest Reserve Account from time to time from its funds not required to be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(iii)    On each Payment Date, the Servicer shall direct the Securities Custodian and, at the direction of the Servicer, the Securities Custodian shall transfer funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account to the Collection Account in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the amounts required to be paid from the Collection Account pursuant to clauses (ii) through (vi) and (viii) of Section 2.8(a) on such Payment Date, over (B) Available Collections for such Payment Date (determined before giving effect to any amounts transferred

from the Interest Reserve Account) available for the payment thereof and (ii) the amount then on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account.

(iv)    To the extent there are uninvested amounts deposited in the Interest Reserve Account, the Servicer, prior to the occurrence of a Revolving Period Termination Event, and thereafter the Facility Agent may direct the Securities Custodian to invest all such amounts in Permitted Investments selected by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower or by the Facility Agent, as the case may be. Any such Permitted Investments which are made prior to the occurrence of a Revolving Period Termination Event and on any day other than the Business Day immediately preceding a Payment Date shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date following the date of such investment, and otherwise any such Permitted Investments shall mature not later than the next Business Day immediately following the date of such investment. Any earnings (and losses) on investments of funds in the Interest Reserve Account shall be credited or debited to the Interest Reserve Account. Neither the Facility Agent nor the Securities Custodian shall be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment of funds in the Interest Reserve Account.

(h)    Qualified Institutions. In the event the Servicer has received notice from the Facility Agent or otherwise has actual knowledge that a depositary holding any of the Transaction Accounts ceases to be a Qualified Institution, then the Servicer shall give notice thereof to the Facility Agent (if applicable) and the Securities Custodian and within 60 days shall cause such Transaction Account to become established and maintained with a Qualified Institution.

(i)    Account Control Agreements. The Servicer and the Borrower shall at all times cause each Transaction Account to be subject to the provisions of an Account Control Agreement which shall be in full force and effect. The Facility Agent agrees that it shall not deliver a notice of exclusive control pursuant to any Account Control Agreement unless a Revolving Period Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing.

(j)    Adjustments. If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the Collection Account in respect of a Collection of a Loan in the Collateral and such Collection was received by the Servicer in the form of a check that is not honored for any reason or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Collection, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake. Any Scheduled Payment in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.

Section 7.5    Servicer Advances.

For each Collection Period, if the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) that was due and payable pursuant to a Loan included in the Collateral during such Collection Period was not received prior to the end of such Collection Period, the Servicer may, but shall not be obligated to, make an advance in an amount up to the amount of such delinquent

Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) to the extent that the Servicer reasonably expects to be reimbursed for such advance; in addition, if on any day there are not sufficient funds on deposit in the Collection Account to pay accrued Interest on any Advance or Unused Fees, the Servicer may make an advance in the amount necessary to pay such Interest or Unused Fees (in either case, any such advance, a “Servicer Advance”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any Successor Servicer will not be obligated to make any Servicer Advances. The Servicer will deposit any Servicer Advances into the Collection Account on or prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the related Payment Date, in immediately available funds.

Section 7.6    Realization Upon Defaulted Loans or Charged-Off Loans.

The Servicer will use reasonable efforts to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Related Property with respect to a Defaulted Loan or Charged-Off Loan and will act as sales and processing agent for Related Property that it repossesses. The Servicer will follow the practices and procedures set forth in the Management Manual in order to realize upon such Related Property. Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer may sell any such Related Property with respect to any Defaulted Loan or Charged-Off Loan to the Servicer or its Affiliates for a purchase price equal to the then fair market value thereof; any such sale to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to the Facility Agent identifying the Defaulted Loan or Charged-Off Loan and the Related Property, setting forth the sale price of the Related Property and certifying that such sale price is equal to the fair market value of such Related Property. In any case in which any such Related Property has suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any repair or toward the repossession of such Related Property unless it reasonably determines that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Recoveries by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer will remit to the Securities Custodian for deposit into the Collection Account the Recoveries received in connection with the sale or disposition of Related Property with respect to a Defaulted Loan or Charged-Off Loan.

Section 7.7    Optional Purchases and Sales of Transferred Loans; Releases of Transferred Loans.

(a)    Subject to compliance with Section 7.7(d) and the assumptions set forth in the legal opinion referred to in Section 3.1(a) with respect to substantive consolidation and sale characterization, the Servicer may, at any time at its option, request to purchase any Transferred Loan, together with any Related Property, Insurance Policies, Loan Documents and Supplemental Interests related thereto (collectively, the “Released Collateral”), with respect to which (i) the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower has received notice of the related Obligor’s intention to prepay such Transferred Loan in full within a period of not more than 60 days from the date of such notification, (ii) such Transferred Loan is within 60 days of its maturity date and the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower has not received notice of the related Obligor’s intention to refinance such Transferred Loan through a lender not Affiliated with the Borrower or Servicer, (iii) the Servicer believes, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, that such Transferred Loan will likely, or has, become a Defaulted Loan or a Charged-Off Loan or (iv) was a Rating Pending Loan on or after the Sixth Restatement Effective Date and as to which DBRS has either declined to provide a DBRS Credit Assessment or has provided a DBRS Credit Assessment resulting in a Rating Factor of 4,770

or higher; provided, however, that in any Annual Period, with respect to this clause (iv), (A) the Servicer may purchase no more than two (2) Transferred Loans pursuant to this Section 7.7(a) and (B) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Transferred Loans purchased pursuant to this Section 7.7(a) shall not exceed 15% of the Collateral Value of all Eligible Loans as of the last Payment Date for the immediately preceding Annual Period (prior to giving effect to any such purchases on such Payment Date).

(b)    Subject to compliance with Section 7.7(d) and the assumptions set forth in the legal opinion referred to in Section 3.1(a) with respect to substantive consolidation and sale characterization, the Servicer may (i) at any time at its sole election, request to purchase Released Collateral; provided that the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Transferred Loans purchased during any Annual Period pursuant to this clause (i) shall not exceed 10% of the Collateral Value of all Eligible Loans, or (ii) at any time at its election but subject to the written consent of the Required Lenders, request to purchase Released Collateral that is not subject to purchase pursuant to Section 7.7(a); provided that the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Transferred Loans purchased during any Annual Period pursuant to this clause (ii) shall not exceed 10% of the Collateral Value of all Eligible Loans as of the last Payment Date for the immediately preceding Annual Period (prior to giving effect to any such purchases on such Payment Date). For purposes of compliance with this Section 7.7(b), the Servicer may allocate a portion of a Loan constituting Released Collateral to clause (i) and the remaining portion of such Loan to clause (ii).

(c)    Subject to compliance with Sections 5.1(c) and 7.7(e) and to the release of the applicable Released Collateral from the Collateral as provided in Section 7.7(f), the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time at its option and in consultation with the Servicer, sell Released Collateral to one or more third parties that are not Affiliates of the Borrower; provided that any such sale is upon fair and reasonable terms at a purchase price (the “Third Party Purchase Price”), payable in cash, that is the fair market value for such Released Collateral in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer; provided further that, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Transferred Loans sold during any Annual Period pursuant to this Section 7.7(c) shall not exceed 20% (or such higher percentage to which the Facility Agent shall have consented in writing) of the Collateral Value of all Eligible Loans as of the last Payment Date for the immediately preceding Annual Period (prior to giving effect to any such sales on such Payment Date).

(d)    The Servicer may request purchase of Released Collateral pursuant to Section 7.7(a) or (b) by providing at least five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, the Facility Agent and each Managing Agent. The Borrower may agree to such purchase provided that such Released Collateral shall have been released from the Collateral as provided in Section 7.7(f). With respect to any Released Collateral purchased pursuant to Section 7.7(a) or (b), the Servicer shall enter into an agreement with the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit H-1 and shall, on the date of purchase, remit to the Collection Account in immediately available funds an amount equal to (i) in the case of any purchase pursuant to Section 7.7(a)(iii), the outstanding principal balance of such Transferred Loan as of the date of release, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (such amount, the “Release Price”) and (ii) in all other cases, the Optional Purchase Price therefor. Upon each purchase of Released Collateral by the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.7(a) or (b), subject to Section 7.7(f), the Borrower shall automatically and without further action be

deemed to transfer, assign and set-over to the Servicer all the right, title and interest of the Borrower in, to and under such Released Collateral and all monies due or to become due with respect thereto, all proceeds thereof and all rights to security for any such Released Collateral, and all proceeds and products of the foregoing (but excluding such Release Purchase Price or Optional Purchase Price), free and clear of any Lien created pursuant to this Agreement.

(e)    The Borrower shall provide at least five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, the Facility Agent and each Managing Agent (with a copy to the Documentation Agent and the Collateral Custodian) of any sale of Released Collateral pursuant to Section 7.7(c). With respect to any Released Collateral sold pursuant to such Section, the Borrower shall enter into an agreement with the third party purchaser thereof having customary purchase or sale terms and documented with customary loan trading documentation or containing terms substantially in the form of the terms set forth on Exhibit H-2 and shall, in either case, on the date of sale, remit to the Collection Account in immediately available funds an amount equal to the Third Party Purchase Price therefor. Subject to Section 7.7(f), a sale of Released Collateral by the Borrower pursuant to Section 7.7(c), and all monies due or to become due with respect thereto, all proceeds thereof and all rights to security for any such Released Collateral, and all proceeds and products of the foregoing (but excluding such Third Party Purchase Price) shall be free and clear of any Lien created pursuant to this Agreement.

(f)    In connection with any purchase of a Transferred Loan by the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.7(a) or (b), any sale of a Transferred Loan by the Borrower pursuant to Section 7.7(c) or any purchase of any Transferred Loan by the Originator pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Purchase Agreement, but subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7.7(f), the Borrower, may from time to time, upon providing at least five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Facility Agent, each Managing Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Collateral Custodian and the Securities Custodian, obtain releases of the security interest of the Facility Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in such Transferred Loan (together with any other Released Collateral related to such Loan) by paying into the Collection Account an amount equal to the Release Price, the Optional Purchase Price or the Third Party Purchase Price, as the case may be. The security interest in favor of the Facility Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in all Loans shall continue in effect until such time as the full amount of the related Release Price, Optional Purchase Price or Third Party Purchase Price, as the case may be, shall have been deposited into the Collection Account. The Facility Agent will execute and deliver, at the expense of the Borrower, such documentation evidencing such release as the Borrower may reasonably request. The Borrower’s right to obtain a release of Transferred Loans and other Released Collateral pursuant to this Section 7.7(f) is subject to the conditions that, after giving effect to such release and to such Loans ceasing to be Transferred Loans, (i) there shall exist no Revolving Period Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event, (ii) each of the Borrowing Base Test, the Overcollateralization Ratio Test, the Required Equity Test and the Interest Coverage Test shall be satisfied, (iii) such release would cause any Collateral Quality Test which was satisfied immediately prior to such exclusion to continue to be satisfied, and (iv) such release would maintain or improve the Borrower’s degree of compliance with any Collateral Quality Test which was not satisfied immediately prior to such release.

(g)    If the Borrower has requested additional Advances to be made on a Business Day that is also the date of a purchase of a Transferred Loan and the Borrower has complied with Section 7.7(e) as of such date, then the Borrower may elect to apply the Release Price or Optional Purchase Price, as the case may be, to the simultaneous repayment of such Advances, notwithstanding any provisions of Section 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 to the contrary. In such circumstance, (x) if the Release Price or Optional Purchase Price, as the case may be, exceeds such aggregate amount of Advances, the Borrower shall pay only such excess into the Collection Account (and the Lenders shall not advance any funds to the Borrower in respect of such Advances), (y) if such aggregate amount of Advances exceeds such Release Price or Optional Purchase Price, as the case may be, the Lenders shall advance to the Borrower an aggregate amount equal to such excess (and the Borrower shall make no payment in respect of such Release Price or Optional Purchase Price, as the case may be, into the Collection Account), and (z) to the extent so netted against the deposit of the Release Price or Optional Purchase Price, as the case may be, such Advances shall have been deemed to have been made, and such Release Price or Optional Purchase Price, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have been concurrently deposited into the Collection Account and applied to the repayment of such Advances.

(h)    The Borrower shall, at the sole expense of the Servicer, so long as the Servicer is PCC or an Affiliate, and otherwise at the sole expense of the Borrower, execute such documents and instruments of transfer as may be prepared by the Servicer and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Servicer to effect the transfer and release of Transferred Loans and other Released Collateral pursuant to this Section 7.7.

The independent public accountants report shall also indicate that the firm is independent of the Servicer and the Borrower within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Upon receipt of any report or statement pursuant to this Section 7.12, the Documentation Agent shall furnish a copy thereof to the Facility Agent, each Managing Agent and the Backup Servicer or, upon notice of the availability thereof (which notice may be delivered by email) make such copy available to such parties via the Documentation Agent’s website.

Section 7.13    Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.

Except as provided herein, neither the Servicer (including any Successor Servicer) nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Borrower, any Agent or Lender or any other Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action expressly provided for in this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of its willful misconduct hereunder.

The Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to service the Transferred Loans in accordance with this Agreement that in its reasonable opinion may involve it in any expense or liability. The Servicer may, in its sole discretion, undertake any legal action relating to the servicing, collection or administration of Transferred Loans and the Related Property that it may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate for the benefit of the Borrower and the Secured Parties with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the respective interests of the Borrower and the Secured Parties hereunder.

The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon its determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable Law and (ii) there is no reasonable action that it could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under Applicable Law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced as to clause (i) above by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Borrower, the Facility Agent and each Managing Agent. To the extent permissible and in accordance with Applicable Law, no such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Backup Servicer is acting as Successor Servicer, the Servicer may resign upon 60 days prior written notice to the parties hereto, provided that (i) a successor shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) if a successor Servicer does not take office within 150 days after the retiring Servicer gives notice, the retiring Servicer may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Servicer.

The Borrower shall pay all reasonable set-up and conversion costs associated with the transfer of servicing rights to the Successor Servicer in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 7.19    Appointment of Successor Servicer.

(a)    On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice pursuant to Section 7.18, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date on which a successor is appointed as provided in this Section. The Required Lenders may, in their sole discretion, appoint the Backup Servicer as the Servicer hereunder, and the Backup Servicer shall within twenty (20) Business Days assume all obligations of the Servicer hereunder, and all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer; provided, however, that any Successor Servicer (including the Backup Servicer) shall not (i) be responsible or liable for any past actions or omissions of the outgoing Servicer, (ii) have any obligations to perform advancing or repurchase obligations, if any, of the Servicer or predecessor Servicer unless it elects to do so in its sole discretion, (iii) have any obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the transaction contemplated hereby, (iv) have any liability with respect to the performance of the Subservicer or any other sub-servicers appointed by any prior Servicer, (v) make any of the representations and warranties of the Servicer under this Agreement (other than the representations and warranties set forth in the Backup Servicing Agreement) or (vi) have any obligation to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights and powers, if, in its reasonable judgment, it shall believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it. The Backup Servicer, solely with respect to any Loans to Obligors organized or incorporated in one or more Permitted Jurisdictions, shall have no obligation to assume the servicing of such Loans pursuant to this Agreement other than for invoicing and acting as a system of record with respect to such Loans, unless with respect to any such Loan (x) the Obligor is registered to do business in the United States and/or one of the states of the United States, (y) the Loan is governed by United States law or the law of one of the states of the United States, and (z) the contact information for the Obligor under such Loan is in the United States. For any Loans to Obligors organized or incorporated in Permitted Jurisdictions that do not satisfy the qualifications set forth in the immediately foregoing sentence and the Backup Servicer has otherwise become the Servicer, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement with respect to such Loans until such time as one or more eligible successor loan servicers or managers with respect to such Loans are appointed by the Required Lenders in their sole discretion, at which time such eligible successor loan servicers or managers shall assume all obligations of the predecessor Servicer hereunder with respect to such Loans, and all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement with respect to such Loans shall pass to and be vested in such eligible successor loan servicers or managers. To the extent that at any time there is more than one servicer in respect of the Loans, the Senior Servicing Fee or the

Subordinate Servicing Fee, as applicable, payable hereunder shall be allocated to each servicer pro rata on the basis of the aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance serviced or managed by such servicer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Backup Servicer as Servicer shall have no responsibility to exercise the Borrower’s or any Secured Party’s rights and remedies with respect to any portion of a Loan whose Obligor is organized or incorporated in a Permitted Jurisdiction that does not meet the qualifications described in subclauses (x), (y) and (z) of this Section 7.19(a). If the Required Lenders do not appoint the Backup Servicer as successor Servicer, there is no Backup Servicer or the Backup Servicer is unwilling or unable to assume such obligations on such date or the Backup Servicer shall resign as Servicer pursuant to Section 7.14, then the Facility Agent shall as promptly as possible appoint an alternate successor servicer to act as Servicer (in each such case, the “Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Facility Agent.

(b)    Upon its appointment as Successor Servicer, the Backup Servicer (subject to Section 7.19(a) and the terms of the Backup Servicing Agreement) or the alternate successor servicer, as applicable, shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement, shall assume all Servicing Duties hereunder and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable. Any Successor Servicer shall be entitled, with the prior consent of the Facility Agent, to appoint agents to provide some or all of its duties hereunder, provided that no such appointment shall relieve such Successor Servicer of the duties and obligations of the Successor Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and that any such subcontract may be terminated upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event.

(c)    All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of the Servicer under this Agreement and shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer, and the Successor Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing on the Collateral, including the transfer to the Successor Servicer for the administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the Servicer, or thereafter received with respect to the Loans and the delivery to the Successor Servicer in an orderly and timely fashion of all files and records with respect to the Loans and a computer tape in readable form containing all information necessary to enable the Successor Servicer to service the Loans. In addition, the Servicer agrees to cooperate and use its best efforts, at the Servicer’s expense, to provide the Successor Servicer, with reasonable access (including at the premises of the Servicer) to Servicer’s employees and any and all of the books, records (in electronic or other form) or other information reasonably requested by it to enable the Successor Servicer, to assume the servicing functions hereunder and to maintain a list of key servicing personnel and contact information.

(d)    Upon the Backup Servicer receiving notice that it is required to serve as the Servicer hereunder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.19, the Backup Servicer will promptly begin the transition to its role as Successor Servicer.

(e)    The predecessor Servicer shall pay all Transition Costs of the Backup Servicer incurred in transitioning to its role as Servicer.

Section 7.20    Exclusion of Loans.

The Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) may by notice to the Facility Agent elect to exclude all or a portion of one or more Eligible Loans (as applicable, “Excluded Loans”) from the Net Portfolio Collateral Balance; provided that (i) the Overcollateralization Ratio Test would be satisfied after giving effect to such exclusion, (ii) such exclusion would cause any Collateral Quality Test which was satisfied immediately prior to such exclusion to continue to be satisfied, and (iii) such exclusion would maintain or improve the Borrower’s degree of compliance with any Collateral Quality Test which was not satisfied immediately prior to such exclusion.

Section 7.21    Determination of Certain Collateral Quality Tests.

Promptly after receiving a Monthly Report, Funding Request or any notice of the Borrower’s acquisition of any Loan or of any proposed release of any Loan from the Collateral (whether pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof, by reason of the repurchase or substitution thereof pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2 of the Purchase Agreement or otherwise, but excluding any release in connection with a realization upon the Collateral in accordance with Section 6.3 hereof) and a loan tape in Microsoft Excel format, the Documentation Agent, based solely on the information contained in the loan tape without any independent verification, shall promptly (i) calculate the Weighted Average Rating Factor by reference to the table set forth in the definition of “Rating Factor” using the values set forth in the applicable Monthly Report on the tab referencing “Collateral Summary Report”, (ii) calculate the Weighted Average Recovery Rate by reference to the definition of “Recovery Rate” using the values set forth in the applicable Monthly Report on the tab referencing “Collateral Summary Report”, (iii) calculate the Diversity Score by reference to the Diversity Score Table set forth in Annex III hereto for the related Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score set forth therein in accordance with the provisions of such Annex using the values set forth in the applicable Monthly Report on the tab referencing “Diversity Score”, and (iv) provide the Servicer with a report of such calculations and of any discrepancies with the Weighted Average Rating Factor, Weighted Average Recovery Rate or Diversity Score calculated by the Borrower, or by the Servicer on its behalf.

Section 7.22    Collateral Quality Matrix Grid.

For purposes of this Agreement, the Grid Column applicable at any time shall be the highest Grid Column for which each of the Borrowing Base Test, the Overcollateralization Ratio Test and each of the Collateral Quality Tests is satisfied. If no Grid Column satisfies such condition, Grid Column (1) shall apply. The Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, shall specify the then applicable Grid Column in each Borrower Notice and each Monthly Report and shall give written notice of the applicable Grid Column to the Facility Agent and the Documentation Agent each other time when under the terms of this Agreement or another Transaction Document compliance with

the Borrowing Base Test, the Overcollateralization Ratio Test or any Collateral Quality Test is required to be determined.

(a)    Without limiting any other rights that any such Person may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party, forthwith on demand, with a copy to the Documentation Agent, from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts (calculated without duplication of Indemnified Amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.1 above) awarded against or incurred by any such Indemnified Party (i) by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions of the Servicer, including (A) any representation or warranty made by the Servicer under or in connection with any Transaction Documents (including the structuring hereof and syndication of commitments hereunder to the extent that any such Indemnified Party had been engaged therefor) to which it is a party, any Required Report or any other information or report delivered by or on behalf of the Servicer pursuant hereto, which shall have been false, incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made, (B) the failure by the Servicer to comply with any Applicable Law, (C) the failure of the Servicer to comply with its duties or obligations in accordance with the Agreement, or (D) any litigation, proceedings or investigation against the Servicer, or (ii) the structuring of this Agreement or the syndication of commitments hereunder and to the extent that any such Indemnified Party had been

The provisions of this indemnity shall run directly to and be enforceable by an injured party subject to the limitations hereof. If the Servicer makes any indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 9.2 and the recipient thereafter collects any payments from other persons in respect of such Indemnified Amounts, the recipient shall repay to the Servicer an amount equal to the amount it has collected from other persons in respect of such Indemnified Amounts.

(b)    If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.2 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless (in each case, other than as a result of the exceptions and limitations therein), then Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable to such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and Servicer on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(c)    The obligations of the Servicer under this Section 9.2 shall survive the resignation or removal of any Agent and the termination of this Agreement but only with respect to any actions or omissions prior to such resignation, removal or termination.

Section 9.3    Control of Actions.

(a)    Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under Section 9.1 or 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any investigation, litigation or proceeding (each, an “Action”), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Borrower or the Servicer under Section 9.1 or 9.2, as applicable, notify the Borrower and/or the Servicer, as the case may be, in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the Borrower and the Servicer (i) will not relieve it from liability under Section 9.1 or 9.2 unless and to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by the Borrower or the Servicer of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the Borrower or the Servicer from any obligations to any Indemnified Person other than the indemnification obligations provided in Sections 9.1 and 9.2.

Each Indemnified Person shall keep the Borrower and/or the Servicer, as the case may be, regularly apprised of all relevant details regarding any Action to which it is a party.

(b)    The Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the Borrower’s or the Servicer’s choice at the Borrower’s or the Servicer’s respective expense to represent the Indemnified Person in any Action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the Borrower or the Servicer shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or Persons except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding the Borrower’s or the Servicer’s election to appoint counsel to represent the Indemnified Person in an Action, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall bear the reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel, if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Borrower or the Servicer to represent the Indemnified Person would present such counsel with an ethical conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such Action include the Indemnified Person and the Borrower or the Servicer and the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons which are different from or additional to those available to the Borrower or the Servicer, (iii) the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such Action or (iv) the Borrower or the Servicer shall authorize the Indemnified Person to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be. The Borrower or the Servicer will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Persons, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened Action in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Persons are actual or potential parties to such Action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such Action. No Indemnified Persons will, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and/or the Servicer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened Action in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Borrower is an actual or potential party to such Action); provided that such consent shall be deemed to have been granted if, within thirty (30) days following the written request for a consent, the Borrower or the Servicer shall not have provided an indemnity bond, in form and substance and from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Persons, in an amount equal to the amount reasonably estimated by such Indemnified Persons to be their maximum exposure in such Action, assuring payment to such Indemnified Persons of the indemnification which may be payable under this Agreement.

(c)    Any Lender may at any time and from time to time, with the prior consent of the Facility Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to one or more Persons (“Purchasing Lenders”), other than the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower, all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an assignment agreement, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C‑1 hereto (the “Assignment and Acceptance”) executed by such Purchasing Lender and such selling Lender. In addition, so long as no Revolving Period Termination Event has occurred and is continuing at such time, the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required prior to the effectiveness of any such assignment unless such assignment is to any Lender, any Funding Source or Support Provider of a Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender, Funding Source or Support Provider or any issuer of commercial paper notes sponsored or administered by a Lender or any Funding Source or Support Provider for a Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender, Funding Source or Support Provider. Upon delivery of the executed Assignment and Acceptance to the Facility Agent, such selling Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment. Thereafter the Purchasing Lender shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and no further consent or action by Borrower, the Lenders, the Managing Agents or the Facility Agent shall be required.

(e)    The Facility Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to herein a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered

to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of, each Advance owned by each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Lenders and the Borrower may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Lenders or the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f)    Subject to the provisions of this Section 11.1, upon their receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by a selling Lender and a Purchasing Lender, the Facility Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C-1 hereto, accept such Assignment and Acceptance, and the Facility Agent shall then (i) record the information contained therein in the Register and (ii) give prompt notice thereof to each Lender.

(g)    Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”), with the prior written notice to the Facility Agent, participating interests in its pro-rata share of the Advances of the Lenders or any other interest of such Lender hereunder. Notwithstanding any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower, the Lenders, the Managing Agents and the Facility Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that any agreement between such Lender and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Lender’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification set forth in clauses (v) and (vi) to the proviso to Section 12.1 that affects such Participant.

(h)    Each Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 11.1, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower or Servicer furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Servicer.

(i)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary (other than Section 11.1(j)), no Lender shall assign, transfer, grant a participation interest in or otherwise convey any Note or any beneficial interest therein to any Person other than a Qualified Lender.

(j)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no Lender shall be prohibited from pledging or assigning as collateral any of its rights under this Agreement to any Federal Reserve Bank or central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender in accordance with Applicable Law and any such pledge or collateral assignment may be made without compliance with Section 11.1(b) or Section 11.1(c), and (ii) any Conduit Lender may pledge or assign as collateral any of its rights under this Agreement pursuant to its program collateral or security agreement with a collateral agent to secure obligations owing by such Conduit Lender to its debt holders, Support Providers or other creditors or the debt holders, Support Providers or other

The Borrower shall deliver, or shall cause the Servicer to deliver, to the Facility Agent file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following such recording, registration or filing, in each case, solely to the extent that the Borrower or the Servicer (rather than the Facility Agent) is the recipient of any such file-stamped copies or filing receipts. The Borrower and the Servicer shall cooperate fully in connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this Section 12.11.

The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Facility Agent and appoints the Facility Agent as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Borrower, (i) to execute, if required, on behalf of the Borrower as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Facility Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement in such offices as the Facility Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Lenders in the Collateral.

therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each such party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to claim any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 12.16    No Fiduciary Duty.

Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section, the “Lender Parties”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, its member and/or their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section, the “Borrower Parties”). The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Transaction Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender Party, on the one hand, and any Borrower Party, on the other. The Borrower Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrower Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender Party has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Borrower Party with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender Party has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Borrower Party on other matters) or any other obligation to any Borrower Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents and (y) each Lender Party is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Borrower Party, its management, creditors or any other Person.

Section 12.17    USA PATRIOT Act Notice.

Each Lender and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of and the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

Section 12.18    Certain Consent and Acknowledgments.

Section 12.19     Certain Volcker Rule Matters.

Each of the parties hereto has entered into this Agreement with the understanding that, as of the date hereof, (i) the Borrower is not a “covered fund” under the Volcker Rule in relation to any Lender and (ii) the interests of the Lenders under this Agreement do not constitute “ownership interests” under the Volcker Rule. In the event that, notwithstanding such understanding, any Lender delivers written notice to the Borrower, the Facility Agent, the Seller and the Servicer setting forth in detail the basis on which any relevant Governmental Authority (including any central bank or bank examiner) with respect to such Lender shall have determined that (i) the Borrower is a “covered fund” under the Volcker Rule in relation to such Lender, (ii) the interests of such Lender under this Agreement constitute “ownership interests” under the Volcker Rule and (iii) no exemption is available under the Volcker Rule with respect to such Lender’s ownership of such interests, then each of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Lenders and the Facility Agent agree to negotiate diligently and in good faith to agree to the form of amendment of this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents, as the case may be, within 120 days (or such longer period to which the Borrower, the Servicer, the Facility Agent and the affected Lenders consent) following such notice so that the determination of such Governmental Authority is reversed or otherwise resolved. In no event shall a party be required to enter into any amendment that modifies the economic rights or obligations of such party hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents in a manner which is materially adverse to such party. In the event that, following any such notice, the relevant parties shall not have agreed to amend any relevant Transaction Documents as contemplated by this Section 12.19 within such 120 day period (or such longer period as may be agreed), each of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Facility Agent and the affected Lenders shall negotiate and act in good faith to seek a replacement lender for any Lenders that are then subject to an adverse determination by a relevant Governmental Authority under the Volcker Rule. At any time following notice by any affected Lender pursuant to this Section 12.19, the Borrower shall have the right to replace such affected Lender as a party hereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14(b).
