The Agent 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 disbursements. Funds on deposit in the Clean-up Call Loan Disbursement Account shall be invested by the Collection Account Bank in Eligible Investments upon the same terms as those specified in Section 3.10(d) with respect to such investments in respect of the Collection Account.

          (b) No later than the Lender Deposit Date for a Clean-up Call Loan, Borrower shall deliver to the Collection Account Bank in immediately available funds, for deposit into the Clean-up Call Loan Disbursement Account, the Clean-up Call Differential Amount for such Clean-up Call Loan. Borrower hereby authorizes the Collection Account Bank to make payments and disbursements from any Clean-up Call Differential Amounts on deposit in the Clean-up Call Disbursement Account in connection with a proposed Clean-up Call Loan in accordance with the provisions and subject to the conditions specified in this Agreement and the applicable Lender Clean-up Call Disbursement Notice with respect thereto. The Collection Account Bank shall hold such Clean-up Call Differential Amount for such Clean-up Call Loan until it receives disbursement instructions from the Agent with respect to such Clean-up Call Differential Amount pursuant to Section 2.06(f) or withdrawal instructions from the Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(g).

          (c) In the Notice of Borrowing delivered in connection with any Clean-up Call Loan, Borrower shall specify (i) the Clean-up Call Settlement Date for such Clean-up Call

Loan and (ii) the Lender Deposit Date for such Clean-up Call Loan; provided that the Lender Deposit Date for a Clean-up Call Loan shall be no earlier than two (2) Business Days prior to the Clean-up Call Settlement Date for such Clean-up Call Loan.

          (d) On the Lender Deposit Date for a Clean-up Call Loan (as specified in the related Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), the Lenders shall remit to the Agent and the Agent shall deposit into the Clean-up Call Loan Disbursement Account in immediately available funds the related Clean-up Call Loan Funding Amount. The Collection Account Bank shall hold such Clean-up Call Loan Funding Amount uninvested in the Collection Account until it receives disbursement instructions from the Agent with respect to such Clean-up Call Loan Funding Amount pursuant to Section 2.06(f) or withdrawal instructions from the Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(g).

          (e) On the Lender Deposit Date for a Clean-up Call Loan, the Agent will deliver to the Collection Account Bank a notice with respect to the proposed Clean-up Call Loan (a “Lender Clean-up Call Disbursement Notice”), which notice will specify the following:

          (i) the name of the securitization trust subject to the proposed Clean-up Call;

          (vi) the conditions precedent to the Agent’s instruction to the Collection Account Bank to disburse the Clean-up Call Disbursement Amount; and

          (vii) such other information as the Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate.

          (f) On the Clean-up Call Settlement Date for a Clean-up Call Loan (as specified in the related Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), the Agent shall instruct the Collection Account Bank to withdraw from the Clean-up Call Loan Disbursement Account the related Clean-up Call Disbursement Amount (including, without limitation, the related Clean-up Call Loan Funding Amount and the Clean-up Call Differential Amount) and to deposit such Clean-up Call Loan Disbursement Amount into the collection account for the related securitization, on behalf of the servicer in such securitization, as consideration for the purchase by the servicer of the related Clean-up Call Contracts (and any other applicable assets of the related securitization issuer) in connection with the exercise of the related Clean-up Call; provided, however, that the Agent shall so instruct the Collection Account Bank only if each of the conditions precedent set forth in the related Lender Clean-up Call Disbursement Notice shall have been satisfied on or prior to such Clean-up Call Settlement Date.

     Each Lender Clean-up Call Disbursement Notice will specify the applicable conditions precedent, including the following:

          (i) the Agent shall have received a fully executed copy of the Sale and Contribution Agreement Supplement transferring the Clean-up Call Contracts to the Borrower pursuant to the Sale and Contribution Agreement;

          (vi) the Agent shall have received the UCC-3 Partial Release Statements referenced in Section 4.02(e)(iv)(2) with respect to such Clean-up Call Contracts; and

          (vii) the Agent shall have received such other opinions, documents and instruments as the Agent or its counsel shall reasonably request.

          (g) If the Agent has not instructed the Collection Account Bank by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Clean-up Call Settlement Date that the conditions precedent specified in the Lender Clean-up Call Disbursement Notice have been satisfied or waived, then the Collection Account Bank shall, prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, withdraw the related Clean-up Call Loan Disbursement Amount from the Clean-up Call Loan Disbursement Account and deliver the Clean-up Call Loan Funding Amount to the order of the Agent for disbursement to the Lenders and the Clean-up Call Differential Amount to the order of Borrower, unless the Agent shall have otherwise instructed the Collection Account Bank in writing.

     Section 2.07. [Reserved].

     Section 2.08. Notices of Net Securitization Percentage. Promptly following the Agent’s receipt from Servicer of a Servicer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.09 of the Servicing Agreement and Section 6.19 hereof, the Agent shall provide Borrower with notice of the Agent’s most recent determination of the Net Securitization Proceeds Percentage.

ARTICLE III.

INTEREST, PAYMENTS, ETC.

     Section 3.01. Interest on the Loans. (a) The Lenders shall be entitled to receive payments of interest on their respective portions of the Total Outstandings as provided herein at the Class A Interest Rate or the Class B Interest Rate, as applicable, from the Closing Date until the later of the Termination Date and the reduction of the Total Outstandings to zero. After the initial Remittance Date, payments of interest accrued on the Loans will be calculated on the average daily outstanding Total Outstandings for the period from and including the Remittance Date immediately preceding the applicable Remittance Date after giving effect to any payments of principal on such immediately preceding Remittance Date, to but excluding the applicable Remittance Date. With respect to the initial Remittance Date, interest will be calculated on the average daily outstanding Total Outstandings from the initial Borrowing Date through the day preceding the initial Remittance Date. All computations of interest accrued on any Loan shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual days elapsed.

          (b) Except as otherwise provided herein, all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans shall be payable in arrears:

          (i) on each Remittance Date;

          (ii) pursuant to Section 3.03(e); and

          (iii) on the Termination Date.

          (c) If, by the terms of this Agreement or either Note, Borrower at any time is required or obligated to pay interest at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, the rate of interest shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the portion of all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments made in reduction of the principal amount due hereunder and under the applicable Note and shall be applied to Class A Outstandings or Class B Outstandings, as applicable.

     Section 3.02. Optional Prepayments. Borrower may, at its sole option, prepay the Loans on any day, in whole or in part, at any time upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent and the Collection Account Bank. Any such prepayment shall be accompanied by all other obligations due and owing in respect of such prepayment, including, without limitation, with respect to interest, fees and payments pursuant to this Article III. Any prepayment of the Loans in part shall be applied ratably to the Class A Outstandings and the Class B Outstandings by reference to the Class A Note Percentage and the Class B Note Percentage, unless otherwise agreed to by the Agent and the Lenders. In addition, in selecting the Collateral to be released from the lien of the Security Agreement upon a partial prepayment, unless such partial

prepayment relates to a securitization of the Contracts so to be released, no selection procedures adverse to the interests of Lenders, in the Agent’s reasonable discretion, shall be utilized by Borrower.

     Section 3.03. Mandatory Repayments and Prepayments. (a) If the Termination Date shall occur as a result of a Commitment Termination Event, the Total Outstandings shall be due and payable in full on the Termination Date. If the Termination Date occurs on the Expected Facility Termination Date and Borrower pays the Agent on behalf of the Lenders the Term Loan Commitment Fee no later than the Termination Date, the Total Outstandings shall be due and payable in full no later than the Term Loan Maturity Date; provided that, if Borrower shall not have paid such Term Loan Commitment Fee by the Termination Date, the Total Outstandings shall be due and payable in full on the Termination Date.

          (b) On each Remittance Date:

          (i) Borrower shall prepay the Class A Outstandings by an amount equal to the Class A Borrowing Base Deficiency, if any, which occurred as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month, which have not been prepaid pursuant to clauses (c) or (d) below (the required amount of any such prepayment on any Remittance Date pursuant to this Section 3.03(b)(i), the “Class A Regular Principal Payment Amount” for such Remittance Date); and

          (ii) Borrower shall prepay the Class B Outstandings by an amount equal to the Class B Borrowing Base Deficiency, if any, which occurred as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month, which have not been prepaid pursuant to clauses (c) or (d) below (the required amount of any such prepayment on any Remittance Date pursuant to this Section 3.03(b)(ii), the “Class B Regular Principal Payment Amount” for such Remittance Date).

          (c) On the date of any Sale, Borrower shall prepay an amount equal to the sum of (A) the difference between (i) the Class A Outstandings as of such date and (ii) the Class A Borrowing Base of the Eligible Contracts remaining subject to the Lien of the Agent under the Security Agreement after giving effect to such Sale, and (B) the difference between (i) the Class B Outstandings as of such date and (ii) the Class B Borrowing Base of the Eligible Contracts remaining subject to the Lien of the Agent under the Security Agreement after giving effect to such Sale. Borrower hereby agrees to provide to the Agent a Sale Notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to any Sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Cut-off Date with respect to any Contracts subject to a Sale is the first day of the calendar month in which such Sale occurs, the amount of the Total Outstandings to be prepaid on the date of such Sale shall equal the product of (x) the aggregate Principal Balance of the Contracts to be included in such Sale and released from the Lien of the Agent, as of the first day of the calendar month in which such Sale occurs (or any later date in such month on which a Borrowing shall have been made to acquire the Contracts subject to such Sale), times (y) the then-applicable Advance Rate for such Contracts.

          (d) If a Class A Borrowing Base Deficiency or Class B Borrowing Base Deficiency has occurred on any day (other than the last day of the immediately preceding

calendar month), Borrower shall prepay the Class A Outstandings and Class B Outstandings, as applicable, or shall provide additional Eligible Contracts to the Agent, in an amount equal to such Class A Borrowing Base Deficiency or Class B Borrowing Base Deficiency, as the case may be, within one (1) Business Day after the occurrence of such Class A Borrowing Base Deficiency or Class B Borrowing Base Deficiency, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Agent may from time to time in its discretion determine the Net Securitization Proceeds Percentage (which determination, in the Agent’s discretion, may be based on the Agent’s consultation with any Rating Agency and/or any third party credit enhancement provider). In connection with any such redetermination of the Net Securitization Proceeds Percentage, the Agent, in its discretion, may request a redetermination by the Borrower of the Class A Borrowing Base and the Class B Borrowing Base, which redetermination the Borrower shall complete within three Business Days of such request from the Agent. If such redetermination of the Class A Borrowing Base and the Class B Borrowing Base results in a Class A Borrowing Base Deficiency or a Class B Borrowing Base Deficiency, any such deficiency shall be remedied as described above in this paragraph (d).

          (e) All payments and prepayments made pursuant to paragraphs (a) through (d) above shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued and unpaid interest due and owing on the amount of Total Outstandings so paid or prepaid.

          (f) In the event of any breach of any representation and warranty of Borrower set forth in Schedule B hereto with respect to any Contract, unless such breach shall have been cured within twenty (20) Business Days of the discovery by or notice (from any Person) to Borrower of such breach (such twentieth Business Day, the “Required Cure of Breach Date”), Borrower shall, no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Required Cure of Breach Date, deposit (or cause to the Servicer to deposit) into the Collection Account the Release Consideration for each Contract to which such breach relates. In the event that such breach relates to a representation regarding a characteristic of the Contracts in the aggregate, unless the breach shall have been cured by the Required Cure of Breach Date, Borrower shall, no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Required Cure of Breach Date, deposit (or cause the Servicer to deposit) into the Collection Account the aggregate Release Consideration for Contracts such that, following the release of such Contracts from the Lien of the Security Agreement, such representation shall be true and correct with respect to the remainder of the Contracts, in the aggregate, pledged to the Agent under the Security Agreement. Any Contract for which a release is required to be obtained pursuant to this Section 3.03(f) shall be repurchased from Borrower by Seller in accordance with Section 6.2 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement and shall be repurchased from Seller by TFC in accordance with Section 6.2 of the Sale and Contribution Agreement. Upon receipt by the Agent of a certificate from an authorized officer of the Servicer, certifying that the Servicer has received the Release Consideration for each such Contract from TFC in accordance with Section 6.2 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement and Section 6.2 of the Sale and Contribution Agreement and that the Servicer has deposited such Release Consideration into the Collection Account in accordance with this Section 3.03(f) and Section 3.10(f) of this Agreement, the Agent shall release its security interest in such Contract (and the Collateral related thereto) in accordance with Section 12(b)(ii) of the Security Agreement; provided, however, that, if a Class A Borrowing Base Deficiency or a Class B Borrowing Base Deficiency would otherwise occur as a result of such release and payment of the related Release Consideration, Borrower shall, on the date of such release, cure such

prospective Class A Borrowing Base Deficiency or Class B Borrowing Base Deficiency in the manner set forth in Section 3.03(d); provided further that, if Borrower shall have prepaid the Total Outstandings pursuant to Section 3.03(d) to cure a Class A Borrowing Base Deficiency and/or Class B Borrowing Base Deficiency arising from a breach of a representation and warranty of Borrower set forth in Schedule B hereto with respect to a Contract, prior to the payment by Borrower of the Release Consideration for such Contract pursuant to this Section 3.03(f), then the amount of such prepayment (equal to the amount of such Class A Borrowing Base Deficiency or Class B Borrowing Base Deficiency caused by such breach in respect of such Contract) shall be credited toward Borrower’s payment of the Release Consideration for such Contract.

          (g) If any Contract is required to be purchased from Borrower by the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Servicing Agreement, Borrower, shall, no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such purchase, deposit (or cause the Servicer to deposit) into the Collection Account the Release Consideration for such Contract. Upon receipt by the Agent of a certificate from an authorized officer of the Servicer, certifying that the Servicer has deposited such Release Consideration into the Collection Account in accordance with this Section 3.03(g) and Section 3.10(g) of this Agreement, the Agent shall release its security interest in such Contract (and the Collateral related thereto) in accordance with Section 12(b)(iii) of the Security Agreement; provided, however, that, if a Class A Borrowing Base Deficiency or a Class B Borrowing Base Deficiency would otherwise occur as a result of such release and payment of the related Release Consideration, Borrower shall, on the date of such release, cure such prospective Class A Borrowing Base Deficiency or Class B Borrowing Base Deficiency in the manner set forth in Section 3.03(d).

     Section 3.04. Funds; Manner of Payment. Each payment and each prepayment of principal of and interest on any Loan, and each payment on account of all other Obligations shall be paid by Borrower without set-off or counterclaim to the Agent pursuant to the Agent Wire Transfer Instructions, in Federal or other immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America, not later than 2:00 p.m. (or 4:30 p.m. in the case of any prepayment required to be made pursuant to Section 3.03(c) hereof from a Sale), New York City time, on the date on which any such payment or prepayment is payable. If any payment hereunder or under either Note becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If the date for any payments or prepayments of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

     Section 3.05. Default Interest. If Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan 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.

     Section 3.06. Requirements of Law. (a) If any Requirement of Law or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Affected Person with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof,

          (i) shall subject such Affected Person to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to, as applicable, this Agreement, either Note, any Loan made by it, its portion of the Commitment, its Liquidity Commitment or any funding under the Liquidity Agreement (excluding net income taxes) or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Affected Person in respect thereof;

          (ii) shall subject any Affected Person to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, either Note or any Loan made by it, its portion of the Commitment, its Liquidity Commitment or any funding under the Liquidity Agreement (excluding net income taxes) or change the basis of taxation of advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Affected Person; or

          (iii) shall impose on any Affected Person any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Affected Person, by an amount which such Affected Person deems to be material, of making, continuing or maintaining, as applicable, any Loan, any investment under the Liquidity Agreement or its portion of the Commitment or its Liquidity Commitment or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay the Agent for such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person on an after-tax basis for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

          (b) If an Affected Person shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Affected Person with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital as a consequence of, as applicable, this Agreement, either Note, any Loan made by it, its portion of the Commitment, its Liquidity Commitment or any funding under the Liquidity Agreement, to a level below that which such Affected Person (taking into consideration Affected Person’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Affected Person to be material, then from time to time, Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent for such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person on an after-tax basis for such reduction.

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

     Section 3.07. Indemnity. Borrower agrees (with respect to clause (d) below) and Borrower, Seller and Originator, jointly and severally, agree (with respect to clauses (a), (b), (c) and (e) below) to indemnify the Agent and each Lender and to hold it harmless from any cost, loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) Borrower making any payment or prepayment (other than pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof) of principal of any Loan on a day which is not a Business Day, (b) Borrower making any optional prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof on any day other than two (2) Business Days after prior written notice to the Agent, (c) any failure by Borrower to make a Borrowing hereunder after notice of such Borrowing has been given pursuant to this Agreement, (d) any default by Borrower in making any payment of Class A Outstandings or Class B Outstandings on a due date therefor, or (e) any acceleration of the maturity of any Loans by the Agent or any Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any cost, loss or expense arising in liquidating the Loans and from interest or fees payable by any Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Loans hereunder. In the event Borrower is required to make any payment pursuant to this Section 3.07, the relevant Lender shall provide to Borrower in writing the basis upon which such charges were calculated in reasonable detail, which calculation shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error by such Lender. Indemnification pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation.

Notwithstanding the Blocked Account Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Lockbox or the Blocked Account Agreement or the Lockbox Account, the Clearing Account or the Concentration Account, Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Agent, Lenders and Borrower for servicing and administering the Contracts and the other Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and the other Lender Loan Documents without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue thereof.

          (ii) In the event that Borrower shall hereinafter pledge any additional Collateral to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as specified in Section 8.02(b)(i), Borrower shall, concurrently with such pledge, deliver to the Agent and the Lenders an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent regarding priority, perfection and the absence of Liens in respect of such Collateral.

     Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Warehouse Lending Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any other party hereto or any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of the Agent shall be read into this Warehouse Lending Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent. The provisions hereof are solely for the benefit of the Agent, and no other party shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise under any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Agent shall act solely as the agent of the Lenders and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Other Warehouse Lender, any other lender, the Borrower, the Seller, the Originator, TFC or any of their respective successors and assigns.

     The Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Warehouse Lending Agreement or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability, cost and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Warehouse Lending Agreement in accordance with a request of the Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and their successors and assigns.

     Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Seller, the Originator or TFC, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent. The Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Seller, the Originator, TFC or any other Person which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

     Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower or any such Affiliate to do so), ratably according to their pro rata shares of the aggregate Total Outstandings, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,

costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Agent or such Person in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Agent or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent or such Person as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or the other Loan Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of this Warehouse Lending Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the Loans or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Person).

     The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any other party hereto or any Affiliate of any other party hereto as though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder. With respect to the Loans pursuant to this Warehouse Lending Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Barclays Bank PLC as a Lender shall have the same rights and powers under this Warehouse Lending Agreement and the Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Financial Institution,” “Class B Lender,” “Lender” and the plural forms thereof shall include Barclays in its individual capacity.

     The Agent may, upon ten days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as Agent for the Lenders.

In either case, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its appointment and acceptance, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Warehouse Lending Agreement. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 11.19 and the all indemnification and other protective terms of this Warehouse Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents covering the Agent shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it during such time as it was Agent.

     2. Fraud or Misrepresentation. Each Contract was originated (i) by the Originator, (ii) by a Dealer and was sold by the Dealer to the Originator, or (iii) by a Third-Party Lender and was sold by the Third-Party Lender to the Originator, and was transferred by the Originator to Seller, transferred by Seller to Borrower and pledged by Borrower to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders without any fraud or misrepresentation on the part of the Originator, Seller, Borrower, such Dealer or Third-Party Lender in any case.

     3. Origination. Each Contract was originated in the United States and the related Obligor is a resident of the United States.

     4. List of Contracts. The information set forth in the related List of Contracts has been produced from the Electronic Ledger and is true and correct in all material respects as of the beginning of business on the related Cut-off Date.

     5. Compliance with Law. All requirements of applicable federal, State and local laws, and regulations thereunder (including, without limitation, usury laws, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Moss-Magnuson Warranty Act, the Board’s Regulations “B” and “Z” (including amendments to the Federal Reserve’s Official Staff Commentary to Regulation Z, effective October 1, 1998, concerning negative equity loans), the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, each applicable State Motor Vehicle Retail Installment Sales Act, and State adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code and other consumer credit laws and equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws) in respect of the Contracts and the Financed Vehicles, have been complied with in all material respects, and each Contract and the sale of the Financed Vehicle evidenced by each Contract complied at the time it was originated or made and now complies in all material respects with all applicable legal requirements.

     6. Binding Obligation. Each Contract represents the genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation of the Obligor thereon, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except (A) as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable limitations on the availability of specific remedies, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and (B) as such Contract may be modified by the application after the applicable Cut-off Date of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as amended; and all parties to each Contract had full legal capacity to execute and deliver such Contract and all other documents related thereto and to grant the security interest purported to be granted thereby.

     7. No Government, Corporate or Fleet Obligor. None of the Contracts is due from the United States of America or any State or from any agency, department or instrumentality of the United States of America or any State. All of the Contracts are due from Obligors who are natural persons or, if any Obligor is not a natural person, (a) such entity is an obligor with respect to five or fewer financed vehicles and (b) the related Contract or Contracts have the benefit of the personal guaranty of a natural person or persons. No Contract has been included in a “fleet” sale (i.e., a sale to any single Obligor of more than five Financed Vehicles).

     8. Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. Each Contract created or will create a valid, binding and enforceable first priority security interest in favor of the Originator in the Financed Vehicle. The Lien Certificate and original certificate of title for each Financed Vehicle show, or if a new or replacement Lien Certificate is being applied for with respect to such Financed Vehicle the Lien Certificate will be received within one hundred fifty (150) days of the Contract origination date and will show, the Originator as the original secured party under each Contract, or that such Contract has been assigned to the Originator, as the holder of a first priority security

interest in such Financed Vehicle. With respect to each Contract for which the Lien Certificate has not yet been returned from the Registrar of Titles, the Originator has a Title Package for the related Financed Vehicle. In the case of each Financed Vehicle, the Originator’s security interest has been validly assigned by the Originator to Seller pursuant to the Sale and Contribution Agreement, by Seller to Borrower pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement and by Borrower to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to the Warehouse Lending Agreement. Immediately after (x) the sale, transfer and assignment thereof by the Originator to Seller and by Seller to Borrower and (y) the pledge by Borrower to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to the Warehouse Lending Agreement, each Contract will be secured by an enforceable and perfected first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as secured party, which security interest is prior to all other Liens upon and security interests in such Financed Vehicle which now exist or may hereafter arise or be created (except, as to priority, for any lien for taxes, labor or materials affecting a Financed Vehicle arising subsequent to the applicable Borrowing Date); provided that, for the purposes of clause (i) of the definition of “Ineligible Contract” in the Warehouse Lending Agreement but not for the purposes of Section 3.03(f) of the Warehouse Lending Agreement, Section 6.2 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement or Section 6.2 of the Sale and Contribution Agreement, if any lien referenced in the preceding parenthetical shall arise or be created as to any Loan subsequent to the applicable Borrowing Date, such occurrence shall be deemed to constitute a breach of the representation and warranty set forth in this paragraph 8.

     9. Contracts in Force. No Contract has been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, and the Financed Vehicle securing each such Contract has not been released from the lien of the related Contracts in whole or in part. No terms of any Contract have been waived, altered or modified in any respect since its origination, except by instruments or documents identified in the Legal File. No Contract has been modified as a result of application of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as amended. All funds payable to or on behalf of the Obligors with respect to the Contracts have been fully disbursed.

     10. No Amendments. No Contract has been amended since the related Cut-off Date such that the amount of the Obligor’s scheduled payments has been increased, except as required by law.

     11. No Defenses. No Contract is subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense and no such right has been asserted or threatened with respect to any Contract.

     12. No Liens. As of the Cut-off Date, no liens or claims have been filed for work, labor or materials relating to a Financed Vehicle that are liens prior to, or equal to or coordinate with, the security interest in the Financed Vehicle granted by any Contract.

     13. No Default. There has been no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Contract (other than payment delinquencies of not more than 29 days calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30 day months), and no condition exists or event has occurred and is continuing that with notice, the lapse of time or both would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Contract, and there has been no waiver of, and Servicer shall not waive, any of the foregoing.

     14. Insurance. At the time of an origination of a Contract by the Originator or a purchase of a Contract by the Originator from a Dealer or Third-Party Lender, each Financed Vehicle was required to be covered by a comprehensive and collision insurance policy (i) subject to maximum deductibles of $1,000 for collision coverage and $1,000 for comprehensive coverage, (ii) naming the Originator as loss payee and (iii) insuring against loss and damage due to fire, theft, transportation, collision and other risks generally covered by comprehensive and collision coverage. No Financed Vehicle is insured under a policy of force-placed insurance on the Cut-off Date.

     15. Good Title.

No Dealer or Third-Party Lender has any participation in, or other right, title or interest in any Contract or the proceeds thereof.
