(i) Illegality; Substituted Interest Rates. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, (a) if any Requirement of Law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain any Loans at LIBOR as contemplated by this Agreement, or (b) in the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that by reason of circumstances affecting the LIBOR interbank market neither adequate nor reasonable means exist for ascertaining LIBOR, or (c) Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower) that the Applicable LIBOR rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining or funding the Loans based on such Applicable LIBOR rate (provided that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Lender shall only make such determination if the published LIBOR rate used by Lender does not accurately reflect the actual LIBOR rate), (x) the obligation of Lender to make or maintain Loans at the LIBOR rate shall forthwith be suspended and Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof (by telephone confirmed in writing) and (y) each Loan then outstanding, if any, shall, from and including the date that is forty-five (45) days after Borrower's receipt of notice from Lender of the occurrence of any condition set forth in clauses (a) , (b) or (c), or at such earlier date as may be required by law, until payment in full thereof, bear interest at the rate per annum equal to the greater of the Prime Rate and the rate of interest (including the LIBOR Margin) in effect on the date immediately preceding the date any event described in clause (a), (b) or (c) occurred (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days). If subsequent to such suspension of the obligation of Lender to make or maintain the Loans at the LIBOR rate it becomes lawful for Lender to make or maintain the Loans at the LIBOR rate, or the circumstances described in clause (b) or (c) above no longer exist, Lender shall so notify Borrower and its obligation to do so shall be reinstated effective as of the date it becomes lawful for Lender to make or maintain the Loans at the LIBOR rate or the circumstances described in clause (b) or (c) above no longer exist. (j) Taxes. All payments made to Lender under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes, gross receipt taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on Lender as a result of a present or former connection between Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely 21 from Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings ("Non-Excluded Taxes") are required to be imposed on Lender hereunder, Borrower shall pay such taxes by having the amounts so payable to Lender increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement. Whenever any amounts payable to Lender are increased pursuant to this Section 2(j) in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes that are payable by Borrower, promptly as possible thereafter Borrower shall send to Lender a certified copy of an original official receipt received by Borrower showing payment thereof. If Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrower shall indemnify Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become due by Servicer as a result of any such failure. (k) Notices of Current Margin Amount and Market Value. Promptly following Lender's receipt from Borrower of the Pledged ABS Servicer's Certificates for each Pledged ABS pursuant to Section 9(s), Lender shall provide Borrower with notice of Lender's most recent determination of (i) the Market Value of each Pledged ABS, (ii) the Market Value of any Supplemental Collateral, and (iii) the Market Value of any Additional Collateral. Section 3. Earnings on Collateral; Collection Account. (a) All payments and distributions, whether in cash or in kind, made on or with respect to the Collateral shall be paid to the Collection Account Bank, for the benefit of Lender, directly by the applicable paying agent, and Lender shall apply such payments and distributions in accordance with Section 12(e), Section 13(b) and Section 13(c) hereof, as applicable. All payments and distributions, whether in cash or in kind, made on or with respect to the Other Residual Financing Collateral shall be paid to the collection account bank under the Other Residual Financing Facility, for the benefit of the Other Residual Financing Facility Lender, directly by the applicable paying agent, and the Other Residual Financing Facility Lender shall apply such payments and distributions in accordance with the Other Residual Financing Facility and the Intercreditor Agreement. (b) Lender, for its own benefit, shall establish and maintain at JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, or such other financial institution as determined by Lender with the prior written consent of Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld (the "Collection Account Bank"), in the name of Lender an Eligible Deposit Account (the "Collection Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of Lender. Lender hereby revocably authorizes the Collection Account Bank to make the payments and distributions from the Collection Account required under this Agreement as instructed time to time by Lender. Lender may, in its sole discretion, revoke at any time such authority and appoint a successor entity (and successors thereto from time to time) to make such payments and distributions. (c) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be invested by the Collection Account Bank in Eligible Investments selected in writing by Borrower (pursuant to standing instructions or otherwise) ; provided that, in the absence of such a direction, amounts on deposit 22 in the Collection Account shall remain uninvested. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Collection Account Bank for the benefit of Lender in a manner sufficient to provide Lender a perfected first priority security interest in such Eligible Investments pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to Lender. On the Business Day immediately preceding each Payment Date, all interest and other investment income (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be deposited into the Collection Account and shall constitute amounts available for such Payment Date. Other than as instructed in writing by Borrower, funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature (i) not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date or (ii) on such next Payment Date if such investment is held in the trust department of the Collection Account Bank and is invested in a time deposit of the Collection Account Bank rated at least A-1 by Standard & Poor's and P-1 by Moody's (such accounts being maintained initially at JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association). Funds deposited in the Collection Account on a day which immediately precedes a Payment Date upon the maturity of any Eligible Investments are not required to be invested overnight. Upon Lender's inquiry to Borrower or the Collection Account Bank, Borrower or the Collection Account Bank, the case may be, shall inform of Lender of all Eligible Investments in which amounts on deposit in the Collection Account are then invested. The Collection Account Bank shall not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds held in the Collection Account made in accordance with this Section 3(c), except for losses attributable to the Collection Account Bank's failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Collection Account Bank, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as Collection Account Bank, in accordance with their terms. Section 4. Confirmation Statement. Lender shall, with respect to each Loan, deliver a completed confirmation statement substantially in form and substance attached hereto as Exhibit B (in each case, the "Confirmation Statement") to Borrower confirming the agreement between Borrower and Lender as to the specific terms of the applicable Loan. Each such Confirmation Statement shall, when duly executed and delivered by Borrower, constitute a binding agreement between Borrower and Lender, and this Agreement is hereby incorporated in its entirety into each such Confirmation Statement and made a part thereof as if it were set out in full in each such Confirmation Statement. In case of any inconsistency between any provisions of a Confirmation Statement and any provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of such Confirmation Statement shall control. Section 5. Margin Determinations and Supplemental Collateral. If Lender shall at any time reasonably determine, in accordance with the applicable Pricing Assumptions and the Valuation Model, that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans is greater than the Borrowing Base, Lender may in its discretion notify Borrower of such fact, and Borrower shall, on the Business Day next succeeding the day of such notice, deliver to Lender cash and/or Supplemental Collateral acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion as Collateral hereunder, which cash shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Loans and which Supplemental Collateral shall, in the aggregate, have a Market Value such that, after giving effect to the application of such cash and the delivery of such Supplemental Collateral, the unpaid principal amount of the Loans will be equal to or less than the Borrowing Base. Delivery of Supplemental 23 Collateral pursuant to this Section 5 shall be in such manner as is acceptable to, and under such additional conditions as may be required by, Lender in its reasonable discretion. Section 6. Release and Addition of Collateral. (a) So long as (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) no deficiency in the Borrowing Base would occur as a result, Borrower may obtain the release from Lender of the security interest in and Lien on all or any part of the Collateral at any time, and from time to time, by paying to Lender as a repayment the amount outstanding, including any principal, interest or other amounts owed hereunder, with respect to the Loan in connection with which such Collateral so to be released was pledged hereunder, and Lender shall effect such release upon such repayment. Any release of the security interest in and Lien on all or any part of the Collateral as a result of a repayment pursuant to this Section shall be evidenced by the prompt execution and delivery by Lender of appropriate documentation to evidence such release. Unless a Default, an Event of Default or a default or event of default under the Warehouse Lending Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, in the event Other Residual Financing Facility Lender has released its security interest in and Lien on any part of the Other Residual Financing Facility Collateral pursuant to Section 6(a) of the master residual loan agreement relating to the Other Residual Financing Facility, Lender shall release its second priority subordinate security interest in such part of the Other Residual Facility Financing Collateral without delivering any instrument or performance of any act of any party. Notwithstanding the two preceding paragraphs, if any payment (or any part of any payment) of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or any other Person, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or a trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or any other Person or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, this Agreement, all rights hereunder and the Liens created hereby shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as though such payments had not been made. (b) Borrower may from time to time pledge additional collateral ("Additional Collateral"); provided that such Additional Collateral is acceptable to Lender, in Lender's sole discretion. All security certificates or instruments representing such Additional Collateral shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignments in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, in Lender's reasonable discretion.

(i) Borrower owns and will own each item which it pledges as Collateral, free and clear of any and all Liens (including, without limitation, any tax liens), other than the first priority Liens created in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement or in the second priority Liens in favor of the Other Residual Financing Facility Lender under any other Loan Document. No security agreement, financing statement or other public notice similar in effect with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is or will be on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been or may hereinafter be filed pursuant to this Agreement evidencing Lender's first priority Liens therein, or as may have been or may hereafter be filed pursuant to the Other Residual Financing Facility in favor of the Other Residual Financing Facility Lender evidencing its second priority Liens therein, or except such as shall be terminated as to the Collateral no later than immediately prior to the pledge of such Collateral to the Lender under this Agreement.

There is no fact known to Borrower that, after due inquiry, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents or in a report, financial statement, exhibit, schedule, disclosure letter or other writing furnished to Lender for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(s) No Indebtedness. Borrower has no Indebtedness, other than Indebtedness incurred under (or contemplated by) the terms of this Agreement and the Other Residual Financing Agreement. (t) No Fraudulent Conveyance. As of the Effective Date and immediately after giving effect to each Borrowing, the fair value of the assets of Borrower is greater than the fair value of its liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities of Borrower), and Borrower is and will be solvent, does and will pay its debts as they mature and does not and will not have an unreasonably small capital to engage in the business in which it is engaged and proposes to engage. Borrower does not intend to incur, or believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. Borrower is not in default under any material obligation to pay money to any Person. Borrower is not contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of Borrower or any of its assets. Borrower is not transferring any Collateral with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.

If there shall be no such cash or the cash so applied shall not be sufficient to pay in full all Obligations, Lender may thereafter collect, receive, appropriate, retain and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, assign, give an option or options to purchase, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at such public or private sale or sales, at such place or places, to such potential buyers at such price or prices and upon such other terms and conditions as Lender may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, with the right of Lender upon any such sale or sales to purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold. In connection with any sale of the Collateral, Borrower will cooperate with Lender to provide potential buyers of the Collateral with the necessary information that they need to make a decision to purchase the Collateral, including without limitation (A) providing potential buyers with information about the Pledged ABS or any other similar asset backed securities issued in connection with a securitization involving Borrower, TFC or an Affiliate thereof (the "Other ABS") and any Demand Notes, (B) providing potential buyers with records relating to the Pledged ABS, the Other ABS and the assets securing such Pledged ABS and Other ABS and relating to any Demand Note, and (C) providing potential buyers with access to personnel responsible for originating and servicing the assets securing the Pledged ABS and the Other ABS. Upon any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral pursuant hereto Lender shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the transferee thereof the Collateral so sold. Each transferee upon any such transfer or other disposition shall hold the property thereby acquired by it absolutely free from any claim or right of any kind, including without limitation any equity or rights of redemption, of Borrower, who hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any rule of law or statute whether now existing or hereafter adopted (in the latter case, to the extent permitted thereby). Borrower agrees that Lender need give only such notice of the time and place of any public or private sale (including 45 without limitation any adjourned private sale) or other intended disposition as may be required by market conditions and standards of commercial reasonableness and that Lender need not in any event give more than five (5) Business Days' notice that such sale or disposition is to take place. Borrower agrees that the notice provided for in the preceding sentence is reasonable notification of such matters. Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale pursuant to any such notice. Lender may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Lender until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but Lender shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. Lender, however, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the Lien and security interest created hereby and sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing Lender shall have the rights of a secured party under the UCC and other applicable law in respect of the Other Residual Financing Facility Collateral, subject to, solely in relation to the rights of the Other Residual Financing Lender with respect thereto, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. (c) Deficiency. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency if the Proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay in full all Obligations, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by Lender to collect such deficiency. (d) Private Sale. Lender shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral or any part thereof, at any private sale. Borrower hereby waives any claims against Lender or any holder or holders of the Note arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, so long as such private sale was conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. (e) Application of Proceeds. Notwithstanding Section 13(b) and Section 13(c), the Proceeds of any sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral, and any other cash at the time held in the Collection Account for the benefit of Lender under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, any amounts held by Lender pursuant to Section 12(h)) and any payments and distributions, whether in cash or in kind, made with respect to the Collateral pursuant to Section 3(a), shall be applied by Lender (or by the Collection Account Bank upon the instruction of Lender) in the following order of priority: First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Lender in connection therewith and in connection with any Default or Event of Default hereunder. 46 Second, to Lender, any fees or reimbursements due and payable to Lender under this Agreement, including without limitation any unpaid Commitment Fees. Third, to the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest under the Note due or past due. Fourth, to the payment of unpaid principal upon the Note due or past due. Fifth, to the payment of all other unpaid amounts owing under this Agreement. Sixth, to the payment of all other Obligations (other than the Warehouse Facility Obligations) owing to Lender. Seventh, to the payment to Lender for amounts due and unpaid pursuant to the Warehouse Lending Agreement and all other Warehouse Facility Obligations. Eighth, to the Other Residual Financing Facility Lender, for amounts due and unpaid pursuant to the Other Residual Financing Facility, if an event of default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Other Residual Financing Facility. Ninth, to the Other Residual Financing Facility Lender, for amounts due and unpaid pursuant to the Other Warehouse Facility, if an event of default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Other Warehouse Facility. Tenth, to the Collection Account Bank, (A) any fees and expenses due and payable to the Collection Account Bank (to the extent that such fees and/or expenses shall not have been paid directly by TFC as required under Section 16(c)) and (B) any Collection Account Bank Indemnified Expenses due and payable pursuant to Section 16(d) (to the extent that such Collection Account Bank Indemnified Expenses shall not have been paid directly by TFC as required under Section 16(d)). Eleventh, to the payment to Borrower, or to such other person as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such Proceeds and other cash. (f) Default Rate of Interest. If Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on the Loans or any other Obligation, Borrower shall on demand pay interest on such overdue principal or other amount and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on such overdue interest and any other overdue amount, for each day at a rate per annum equal to three hundred (300) basis points in excess of the interest rate for such Loans or other Obligations that would otherwise be applicable hereunder. In each case, such interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days and shall accrue from the date such payment was due until such amount is paid in full. (g) Power of Attorney. Notwithstanding the delivery of the Power of Attorney, Lender agrees that it shall only use such Power of Attorney for the purpose of carrying out the 47 provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instruments which Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, including without limitation the right and power to receive, endorse, without recourse, and collect all checks made payable to the order of Borrower representing any distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same. (h) Payments on Collateral to Borrower. Neither Borrower nor any other Person shall be entitled to receive any payment pursuant to clause eleventh of Section 12(e) until all Obligations hereunder shall have been paid in full. Section 13. Maturity Date; Application of Remittances on Collateral; Payment Dates; Repayment of Principal. (a) Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower and Lender hereby agree that the Obligations of Borrower under the Loans are payable on the Maturity Date for such Loans unless earlier payment thereof is required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Borrower and Lender hereby agree that the Obligations of Borrower under the Note and all other Obligations of Borrower hereunder are payable on the Maturity Date for the Loans (to the extent not otherwise paid) unless earlier payment thereof is required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. (b) Application of Remittances Prior to Commitment Termination Date. Subject to Section 12(e) after an Event of Default and to the last paragraph of this Section 13(b), on each Payment Date on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date, the Collection Account Bank shall withdraw from the Collection Account all remittances on the Collateral that are received in the Collection Account on such Payment Date, together with all other amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account, and shall apply such withdrawn amounts (based solely on the information contained in the Remittance Report delivered with respect to such Payment Date pursuant to Section 9(t) hereof) in the following order of priority: First, to Lender, any fees or reimbursements due and payable to Lender under this Agreement, including without limitation any unpaid Commitment Fees. Second, to Lender, all accrued and unpaid interest then due and payable on the Loans. Third, to Lender, to the payment of the unpaid principal portion of the Loans, but only to the extent that the Total Outstandings exceed the Borrowing Base. Fourth, if a Warehouse Lending Agreement Deficiency shall have occurred and be continuing, to Lender for amounts due and unpaid pursuant to the Warehouse Lending Agreement. Fifth, if an Other Residual Financing Facility Deficiency shall have occurred and be continuing, to the Other Residual Financing Facility Lender for amounts due and unpaid pursuant to the Other Residual Financing Agreement. 48 Sixth, if an Other Warehouse Lending Agreement Deficiency shall have occurred and be continuing, to the Other Residual Financing Facility Lender for amounts due and unpaid pursuant to the Other Warehouse Lending Agreement.

Eighth, to Borrower, or to such other person as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. Lender may independently verify the information contained in the Remittance Certificate delivered with respect to any Payment Date. If Lender reasonably determines that there are errors or inaccuracies with respect to the information in any such Remittance Certificate on the basis of which the Collection Account Bank would otherwise apply amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account on such Payment Date pursuant to this Section 13(b) or Section 13(c) hereof, Lender shall inform Borrower and the Collection Account Bank of such determination in writing no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding such Payment Date. In such case, Lender shall instruct the Collection Account Bank in writing no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Payment Date to withdraw all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on such Payment Date, including all remittances on the Collateral that are received in the Collection Account on such Payment Date and to apply such withdrawn amounts in the order of priority set forth in this Section 13(b) or Section 13(c), as the case may be, based solely on information provided by Lender to the Collection Account Bank. If Borrower fails to deliver, or cause TFC to deliver, a completed Remittance Certificate to Lender and the Collection Account Bank on the third Business Day prior to any Payment Date, then, no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Payment Date, Lender shall instruct the Collection Account Bank in writing to withdraw all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, including all remittances on the Collateral that are received in the Collection Account on such Payment Date, and to apply such withdrawn amounts in the order of priority set forth in this Section 13(b) or Section 13(c), as the case may be, based solely on information provided by Lender to the Collection Account Bank. (c) Application of Remittances Following Commitment Termination Date. Subject to Section 12(e) after an Event of Default and to the last paragraph of Section 13(b), on each Payment Date after the Commitment Termination Date, the Collection Account Bank shall withdraw from the Collection Account all remittances on the Collateral that are received in the Collection Account on such Payment Date, together with all other amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account, and shall apply such withdrawn amounts (based solely on the information contained in the Remittance Report delivered with respect to such Payment Date pursuant to Section 9(t) hereof) in the following order of priority: 49 First, to Lender, any fees or reimbursements due and payable to Lender under this Agreement, including without limitation any unpaid Commitment Fees. Second, to Lender, all accrued and unpaid interest then due and payable on the Loans. Third, to Lender, to the payment of the unpaid principal portion of the Loans. Fourth, if a Warehouse Lending Agreement Deficiency shall have occurred and be continuing, to Lender for amounts due and unpaid pursuant to the Warehouse Lending Agreement.

Eighth, to Borrower, or to such other person as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. (d) Obligations Unconditional. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees its obligations to pay (x) accrued interest in respect of each Loan on the related Payment Date, (y) the unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Maturity Date (or in the case of both clauses (x) and (y) such earlier times as may be required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) and (z) the payment of all fees (including without limitation any Commitment Fees), reimbursements and other amounts under from time to time payable under this Agreement or the other Lender Loan Documents are in each case unconditional, and if any such amounts are not paid when due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 13(b) above such amounts shall be promptly paid by Borrower to Lender as otherwise provided in this Agreement. (e) Payment of Principal. In addition to the obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans on the Maturity Date for such Loans or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the principal portion of the Loans may be repaid in whole or in part at the discretion of Borrower on any Payment Date for such Loans by Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the related Confirmation Statement; provided that (i) Borrower shall have provided Lender with not less than two (2) Business Days' prior written notice of Borrower's intention to effect such repayment and the amount thereof, (ii) all payments of interest then due and owing on the Loans 50 are paid in full and (iii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to any of Borrower's Obligations hereunder or under the Note. (f) Event of Default. Nothing in this Section 13 shall be deemed to limit the right of Lender to require, so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the accelerated and immediate payment by Borrower of all Obligations arising hereunder and under the Note. (g) Payments on Pledged ABS. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that all payments on the Pledged ABS will be made to the Collection Account, for the benefit of Lender. Lender shall, within one Business Day, remit to Borrower the excess, if any, of any such amounts received by Lender over the amount of any Obligations then accrued and payable to Lender pursuant to Section 13(b) or Section 13(c), as applicable, provided, however, that if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall be entitled to retain all such payments for application to amounts due or to become due hereunder until all Obligations have been paid in full. Section 14. Payment of Liabilities. (a) Borrower and Lender agree that any tax or other liability (excluding any tax liability arising from the receipt by Lender of interest income on any Loan under this Agreement) incurred by the beneficial owner or the registered holder of any Collateral or Other Residual Financing Facility Collateral pledged under the this Agreement shall be borne by Borrower. (b) So long as any Obligations are outstanding hereunder, Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and each of its directors, officers, employees and agents and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements, including without limitation the fees and disbursement of counsel to Lender and such other parties, incurred by any of them in connection with, arising out of or in any way relating to (i) any investigation, claim, litigation or other proceeding, pending or threatened with respect to the Collateral, the Other Residual Financing Facility Collateral or any Loan Document (whether or not any of them is designated a party thereto), (ii) this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein, (iii) any use of the proceeds of any Loan by Borrower or (iv) any liability for the payment of expenses of the trust funds established under the applicable ABS Issuance Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such right of indemnity shall not be available to the extent that such liabilities, costs and expenses arose out of or resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith of the Lender or any of its agents, officers, directors, employees or representatives. Section 15. Surety Waivers by Borrower Relating to Warehouse Facility Obligations. (a) Borrower acknowledges that its pledge of Collateral and Other Residual Financing Facility Collateral under this Agreement secures the Warehouse Facility Obligations of the Warehouse Borrower. Borrower agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which 51 constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Warehouse Facility Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, Borrower agrees as follows: (i) Lender may from time to time, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or giving rise to any limitation, impairment or discharge of Borrower's liability hereunder, (A) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Warehouse Facility Obligations, (B) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Warehouse Facility Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations, (C) request and accept guaranties of the Warehouse Facility Obligations and take and hold other security for the payment of the Warehouse Facility Obligations, (D) release, exchange, compromise, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any other security for payment of the Warehouse Facility Obligations, any guaranties of the Warehouse Facility Obligations, or any other obligation of any person with respect to the Warehouse Facility Obligations, (E) enforce and apply any other security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of Lender in respect of the Warehouse Facility Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that Lender may have against any such security, as Lender in its discretion may determine consistent with any Loan Documents, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and (F) exercise any other rights available to Lender under the Loan Documents and the agreements related to the Loan Documents, at law or in equity; and (ii) this Agreement and the obligations of Borrower hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason (other than payment in full of the Warehouse Facility Obligations), including without limitation the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not such Subsidiary shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (A) any failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the Warehouse Facility Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any guaranty of or other security for the payment of the Warehouse Facility Obligations, (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including without limitation provisions relating to events of default) of the Warehouse Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any guaranty or other security for the Warehouse Facility Obligations, (C) the Warehouse Facility Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (D) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of indebtedness other than the Warehouse Facility Obligations, even though Lender might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Warehouse Facility Obligations, (E) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any the Warehouse Facility Collateral or other collateral which secures any of the Warehouse Facility Obligations, (F) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which company may allege or assert against the Warehouse Borrower in respect of the Warehouse Facility Obligations, including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, and (G) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Borrower as an obligor in respect of the Warehouse Facility Obligations. 52 (b) Borrower hereby waives, for the benefit of Lender: (i) any right to require Lender as a condition of payment or performance by Borrower, to (A) proceed against the Warehouse Borrower, any guarantor of the Warehouse Facility Obligations or any other person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any other security held from the Warehouse Borrower, any guarantor of the Warehouse Facility Obligations or any other person, (C) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Lender, any lender in favor of the Warehouse Borrower or any other person, or (D) pursue any other remedy in the power of Lender whatsoever; (ii) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Warehouse Borrower including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Warehouse Facility Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of company from any cause other than payment in full of the Warehouse Facility Obligations; (iii) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (iv) any defense based upon Lender's errors or omissions in the administration of the Warehouse Facility Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (v) (A) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Agreement and any legal or equitable discharge of such Subsidiary's obligations hereunder, (B) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Subsidiary's liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (C) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (D) promptness, diligence and any requirement that Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any other security interest or Lien or any property subject thereto; (vi) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, notices of default under any Warehouse Documents or any agreement or instrument related to the Warehouse Documents, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Warehouse Facility Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Warehouse Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in the preceding paragraph and any right to consent to any thereof; and (vii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Agreement. (c) Until the Warehouse Facility Obligations shall have been paid in full and the commitments under the Loan Documents shall have terminated, Borrower shall withhold exercise of (i) any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that Borrower now has or may hereafter have against the Warehouse Borrower or any of its assets in connection with this Agreement or the performance by the Warehouse Borrower of its Warehouse Facility Obligations under the Warehouse Documents or its obligations under any agreement or instrument related to the Warehouse Documents, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (A) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that Subsidiary now has or may hereafter have against the Warehouse Borrower, (B) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that Lender now have or may hereafter have against the Warehouse Borrower, and (C) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any Warehouse Facility Collateral or other collateral or security now or hereafter held by Lender and (ii) any right of contribution such Subsidiary may have against any guarantor of the Warehouse Facility Obligations. Borrower further agrees that, to the extent the waiver of its rights of 53 subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification Borrower may have against the Warehouse Borrower or against any Warehouse Facility Collateral or other collateral or security, and any rights of contribution Borrower may have against the Warehouse Borrower, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights Lender may have against the Warehouse Borrower, to all right, title and interest Lender may have in any such other collateral. (d) Lender shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with Borrower their assessment of the financial condition of the Warehouse Borrower. Borrower has adequate means to obtain information from the Warehouse Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Warehouse Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Warehouse Documents, and Borrower assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Warehouse Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Warehouse Facility Obligations. Borrower hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of Lender to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or condition of the Warehouse Borrower now known or hereafter known by Lender. Section 16. The Collection Account Bank. (a) Rights and Duties of Collection Account Bank. (i) The Collection Account Bank accepts the trusts under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and agrees to perform its duties required under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of hereof to the end that the interests of Lender may be adequately and effectively protected. (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing: First, the Collection Account Bank undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Collection Account Bank; and Second, in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Collection Account Bank may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon the face value of the certificates, reports, resolutions, documents, orders, opinions or other instruments furnished to the Collection Account Bank and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Collection Account Bank shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument; provided further, however, that the Collection Account Bank shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Collection Account Bank shall notify Lender in the event that 54 the Collection Account Bank, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument. (iii) The Collection Account Bank may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: First, this paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 16(a)(ii); and Second, the Collection Account Bank shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. (iv) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collection Account Bank to advance, expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. (b) Individual Rights of Collection Account Bank. The Collection Account Bank in its individual or any other capacity may deal with Borrower and/or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Collection Account Bank. (c) Collection Account Bank's Fees and Expenses. The Collection Account Bank shall receive as compensation for its services hereunder such fees as have been separately agreed upon before the date hereof between TFC and the Collection Account Bank (as outlined in the fee letter from the Collection Account Bank to TFC, dated April 29, 2005), and the Collection Account Bank shall be entitled to be reimbursed by TFC for its other reasonable expenses hereunder, including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of such agents, representatives, experts and counsel as the Collection Account Bank may employ in connection with the exercise and performance of its rights and its duties hereunder. If any fees and/or expenses due to the Collection Account Bank as of any Payment Date shall not have been paid by TFC, the Collection Account Bank shall be entitled to receive such outstanding fees and expenses from Borrower on such Payment Date, in the priority set forth in clause seventh of Section 13(b) or Section 13(c) or clause tenth of Section 12(e), as applicable. Any amounts paid pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be payable solely in the priority set forth in clause seventh of Section 13(b) or Section 13(c) or clause tenth of Section 12(e), as applicable, and shall be deemed not to be a part of the Collateral immediately after such payment. (d) Indemnity to Collection Account Bank. TFC shall be liable as primary obligor for, and shall indemnify the Collection Account Bank and its successors, assigns, agents and servants (collectively, the "Collection Account Bank Indemnified Parties") from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, taxes, claims, actions and suits, and any and all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever (collectively, "Collection Account Bank Indemnified Expenses") which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Collection Account Bank or any Collection Account Bank Indemnified Party in any way relating to or 55 arising out of this Agreement, except only that TFC shall not be liable for or required to indemnify a Collection Account Bank Indemnified Party from and against Collection Account Bank Indemnified Expenses arising or resulting from the Collection Account Bank's own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. The indemnities contained in this Section 16(d) shall survive the resignation or termination of the Collection Account Bank or the termination of this Agreement. In any event of any claim, action or proceeding for which indemnity will be sought pursuant to this Section 16(d), the Collection Account Bank Indemnified Party's choice of legal counsel shall be subject to the approval of TFC, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If any Collection Account Bank Indemnified Expenses due to any Collection Account Bank Indemnified Party as of any Payment Date shall not have been paid by TFC, the Collection Account Bank, on behalf of such Collection Account Bank Indemnified Party, shall be entitled to receive such outstanding fees and expenses from Borrower on such Payment Date, in the priority set forth in clause seventh of Section 13(b) or Section 13(c) or clause tenth of Section 12(e), as applicable. Any amounts paid pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be payable solely in the priority set forth in clause seventh of Section 13(b) or Section 13(c) or clause tenth of Section 12(e), as applicable, and shall be deemed not to be a part of the Collateral immediately after such payment. Borrower, Lender, the Collection Account Bank and TFC acknowledge that TFC's agreement to perform its obligations pursuant to Section 16(c) and this Section 16(d) is partial consideration to Lender for Lender's consent to the appointment of TFC as the initial Servicer under the Servicing Agreement. (e) Replacement of Collection Account Bank. (i) No resignation or removal of the Collection Account Bank and no appointment of a successor Collection Account Bank shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Collection Account Bank pursuant to this Section 16(e)(i). The Collection Account Bank may resign at any time by so notifying Lender and Borrower. Lender may remove the Collection Account Bank by so notifying the Collection Account Bank and may appoint a successor Collection Account Bank. If the Collection Account Bank resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Collection Account Bank for any reason (the Collection Account Bank in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Collection Account Bank), Lender shall promptly appoint a successor Collection Account Bank. (ii) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Collection Account Bank pursuant to this Section, TFC's and Borrower's obligations under Section 16(c) and Section 16(d) shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Collection Account Bank. Without limitation of the foregoing, the retiring Collection Account Bank shall be paid all amounts owed to it upon its resignation or removal, by TFC or Borrower in accordance with Section 16(c) and Section 16(d). The retiring Collection Account Bank shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any Successor Collection Account Bank. (f) Successor Collection Account Bank. If the Collection Account Bank consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Collection Account Bank. 56 (g) Waiver of Setoffs.

(b) Amendments, Waivers, etc. Neither this Agreement nor any terms hereof may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented except in writing signed by the parties hereto. In the case of any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided in the Lender Loan Documents are cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights, remedies, powers or privileges provided by law. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement or under the Note, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such right of indemnity shall not be available to any such indemnified party to the extent that such liabilities, costs and expenses resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of such indemnified party or any of its agents, officers, directors, employees or representatives. If and to the extent that the indemnity obligations of Borrower under this Section 17(d) may be unenforceable for any reason, Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of such indemnity obligations which is permissible under applicable law. 59 (e) Severability.

(k) Notices, Payments, Deliveries. Unless otherwise provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and delivered by overnight courier or registered mail, except in the case of Borrowing Request under Section 2(f) which may be delivered by facsimile transmission, and such notices and other communications shall be effective when received at the address for notices for the party to whom such notice or communications is to be given as follows: To Lender: Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company 85 Broad Street New York, New York 10004 Attention: Anthony Preisano Telephone: (212) 855-0393 Facsimile: (212) 428-9097 To Borrower: Triad Financial Residual Special Purpose LLC 7711 Center Avenue, Suite 390 Huntington Beach, California 92647 Attention: General Counsel Telephone: (714) 373-8300 Facsimile: (714) 934-6062 Collection Account Bank: JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association 4 New York Plaza, 6th Floor 61 New York, New York 10004 Attention: Worldwide Securities Services/Global Debt-- Triad Financial Telephone: (212) 623-5600 Facsimile: (212) 623-5933 provided, however, that a facsimile or other form of electronic transmission shall be deemed to be received by the parties hereto when transmitted so long as the transmitting machine has provided an electronic confirmation of such transmission and such facsimile or other form of electronic transmission is confirmed with a printed paper copy thereof by mail or overnight courier service. All payments on and deliveries of Collateral hereunder shall be made to the address or account for payments and deliveries of such Collateral for the party to whom such payment or delivery is to be made as set forth above. Either party may revise any information relating to it by notice in writing to the other party, which notice shall be effective on the third Business Day following receipt thereof. (l) Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts which, taken together, shall constitute a full and original agreement for all purposes. (m) Termination. On the date when all Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, this Agreement shall terminate and Lender shall release its Liens and security interest hereunder and assign, transfer and deliver, against receipt, any remaining Collateral and Other Residual Financing Facility Collateral and money received in respect thereof to or on the order of Borrower. Upon the request of Borrower, Lender will then execute termination statements and such other documents as Borrower may reasonably request as are necessary to make clear upon the public record the termination of the Liens and security interests created hereby with respect to such assignment.

(ii) Borrower may request disbursement of amounts borrowed hereunder upon not less than two (2) Business Days' written notice to Lender. (o) Lender's Right to Pledge. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Lender from engaging in transactions with third parties involving the selling pursuant to a repurchase arrangement, pledging or hypothecating of the Collateral, but no such transaction shall relieve Lender of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding any such sale, pledge or hypothecation of the Collateral, Borrower shall be entitled to deal solely with Lender with respect to such Collateral and shall not be required to deal with any such third party unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Lender hereby grants to Borrower the right to perform in Lender's stead under any repurchase, reverse repurchase, loan or similar transaction in which Lender has sold, pledged or otherwise transferred any Pledged ABS in the event that 62 Lender has defaulted on its obligations to repurchase or accept redelivery of such Pledged ABS in conformity with the terms of any such transaction and so long as an Event of Default hereunder by Borrower shall not have occurred and be continuing. Lender further acknowledges that each Pledged ABS identified in a Confirmation Statement and included as Collateral for the Loans hereunder is unique and identifiable on the date of such pledge and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate Borrower for the losses and damages incurred by Borrower in the event of Lender's failure to release and redeliver any Pledged ABS upon the repayment of the Loans by Borrower as provided hereunder. (p) [Reserved]. (q) Further Assurances. At its sole cost and without expense to Lender, on demand, Borrower shall do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and assurances as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require for better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring and confirming unto Lender the property and rights pledged or assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey, pledge or assign to Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or for filing, registering or recording of the Loan Documents. (r) Remedies Cumulative. All rights, remedies and powers of Lender hereunder and in connection herewith are irrevocable and cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive, and shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies and powers of Lender whether under law, equity or agreement. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement or under the Note, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. (s) Litigation. Notwithstanding any termination hereof, Borrower hereby agrees that any legal action or proceeding against it in connection herewith may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America located in the City and State of New York, Borough of Manhattan, as Lender may elect, and Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of each of said courts, and waives any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non conveniens or similar grounds.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Borrower hereby agrees that Lender (and each of its officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys and other advisors) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to Lender relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure, other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.

(v) Benefits of Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or the Note, express or implied, shall give to any person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their permitted successor and assigns, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Other Residual Financing Facility Lender shall be an express third-party beneficiary of clauses eighth and ninth of Section 12(e), clauses fifth and sixth of Section 13(b) and clauses fifth and sixth of Section 13(c) of this Agreement. (w) Lender Consent to Transactions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any requirement in this Agreement for TFC or Borrower to obtain the prior consent of Lender to any action or transaction shall not be effective or binding, to the extent the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly repaid in full (other than any indemnification or expense claims which have not been made) and each of the Loan Documents shall have been terminated prior to such action or transaction. 64 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
