(f) Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand or receive such compensation; provided that each Affected Party will notify the Borrower promptly after it has received official notice of any event occurring after the Closing Date which will entitle such Affected Party to such additional amounts as compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14. Such additional amounts shall accrue from the date as to which such Affected Party becomes subject to such additional costs as a result of such event (or, if such Affected Party’s demand for compensation relating to such event is not given to the Borrower by such Affected Party within six months after such Affected Party received such official notice of such event, from the date which is six months prior to the date such demand for compensation is given to the Borrower by such Affected Party).

(g) If at any time the Borrower shall be liable for the payment of any additional amounts in accordance with this Section 2.14, then the Borrower shall have the option to terminate this Agreement (in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3 but without the payment of any Prepayment Penalty); provided that such option to terminate shall in no event relieve the Borrower of paying any amounts owing pursuant to this Section 2.14 in accordance with the terms hereof.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in Applicable Law for purposes of clause (a) above, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

Section 2.15. Taxes..

(a) All payments made by the Borrower or made by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Indemnified Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Secured Party, then the amount payable to such Person will be increased (the amount of such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that every net payment made under this Agreement after withholding for or on account of any Indemnified Taxes (including, without limitation, such deductions and withholdings applicable to Additional Amounts payable under this Section 2.15) is not less than the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been made. The foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts with respect to payments required to be made by the Borrower or Servicer on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement will not, however, apply with respect to (1) Taxes imposed on or measured by net income, franchise Taxes, or branch profits Taxes, in each case imposed on any Secured Party by a taxing jurisdiction (x) in which any such Person is organized or in which its applicable lending office is located or (y) as a result of a present or former connection between such Secured Party and the relevant jurisdiction (other than any such connection arising from such Secured Party having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced this Agreement); (2) with respect to a Lender, any U.S. federal withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable such Lender at the time such Lender acquires an interest in an Advance or Commitment or designates a new lending office, except to the extent that such Secured Party was otherwise entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower or the Servicer with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.15; (3) any tax is attributable to a Secured Party’s failure to comply with Sections 2.15(d), (e), (f), (g) and (h); and (4) any tax that is imposed under FATCA (collectively, “Excluded Taxes”).

(b) The Borrower will indemnify each Secured Party within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of (i) any Indemnified Taxes that are payable or paid by such Secured Party, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; (ii) any unpaid Additional Amount that is required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.15(a); and (iii) any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Secured Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Secured Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by the Borrower or by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower of any Indemnified Taxes, the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, will furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at the applicable address set forth on Annex A to this Agreement, appropriate evidence of payment thereof.

(d) Each Secured Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Secured Party, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Secured Party is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.15(e), (f), and (g) below) shall not be required if in the Secured Party’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Secured Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Secured Party.

(e) To the extent legally entitled to do so under Applicable Law, each Secured Party that is not a United States person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, at the time it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two (or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Law) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8ECI, as appropriate, to permit the Borrower or the Servicer to make payments hereunder for the account of such Secured Party without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes. Upon the obsolescence of, or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in, any form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.15(e), such Secured Party shall update such form or certificate or notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its legal inability to do so.

(f) Each Secured Party that is a United States person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, at the time it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two (or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Law) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 to permit the Borrower or the Servicer to make payments hereunder for the account of such Secured Party without deduction or withholding of United States federal backup withholding Taxes. Upon the obsolescence of or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in, any form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.15(f), such Secured Party shall update such form or certificate or notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its legal inability to do so.

(g) If a payment made to a Secured Party under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Secured Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Secured Party shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Secured Party has complied with such Secured Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(h) Each Secured Party that is not a United States person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Upon the obsolescence of or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in, any form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.15(h), such Secured Party shall update such form or certificate or notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its legal inability to do so.

(i) If any Indemnified Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Taxes as to which indemnification or Additional Amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower or the Servicer pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall promptly remit to the Borrower or the Servicer an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that, the Borrower or the Servicer, upon the request of the Indemnified Party, agree promptly to return such refund to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority (including any interest or penalties). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (i), in no event will the Indemnified Party be required to pay any amount to an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this paragraph (i) the payment of which would place the Indemnified Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Indemnified Party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or Additional Amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. Nothing in this Section 2.15(i) shall interfere with the right of an Indemnified Party to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Indemnified Party to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or other confidential information or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Indemnified Party to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

(j) The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(k) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (1) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or Servicer on behalf of the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (2) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.16 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (3) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (k).

(l) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower and the Servicer hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower and the Servicer contained in this Section 2.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.16. Affiliate Transactions..

The Servicer (or an Affiliate thereof) shall not reacquire from the Borrower and, other than pursuant to a Permitted Securitization (with the consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), a Permitted Refinancing (with the consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), a Discretionary Sale, the distribution of a Lien Release Dividend or in connection with a substitution under Section 2.17, the Borrower shall not transfer to the Servicer or to Affiliates of the Servicer, and none of the Servicer nor any Affiliates thereof will have a right or ability to purchase, the Loans without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.17. Substitution and Transfer of Loans..

(a) Substitution of Loans. On any day when no Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing (and after the earlier to occur of the Reinvestment Period End Date or the Termination Date at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), the Borrower may, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.17 and subject to the other restrictions contained herein, replace any Loan with one or more Eligible Loans (each, a “Substitute Loan”); provided that, no such replacement shall occur unless each of the following conditions is satisfied as of the date of such replacement and substitution (as certified to the Collateral Agent by the Borrower):

(i) the Borrower or Servicer has recommended to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Custodian and the Collateral Agent) in writing that the Loan to be replaced should be replaced (each a “Replaced Loan”);

(ii) each Substitute Loan is an Eligible Loan on the date of substitution;

(iii) after giving effect to any such substitution, no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists;

(iv) solely in the case of substitutions pursuant to Section 2.17(b), the sum of the Adjusted Balances of such Substitute Loans shall be equal to or greater than the sum of the Adjusted Balances of the Replaced Loans;

(v) all representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1, Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 shall be true and correct as of the date of substitution of any such Substitute Loan;

(vi) the inclusion of any Substitute Loan does not cause a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event to occur;

(vii) each Loan that is replaced pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.17 shall be substituted only with another Loan that meets the foregoing conditions;

(viii) in the selection of each Replaced Loan or each Substitute Loan, no selection procedures were employed which are intended to be adverse to the interests of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties;

(ix) the Borrower shall agree to pay the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, the Collateral Custodian and the other Secured Parties in connection with any such substitution (including, but not limited to, expenses incurred in connection with the release of the Lien of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and any other party having an interest in the Loan in connection with such sale, substitution or repurchase);

(x) the Borrower shall give five (5) Business Days’ notice of such substitution to the Administrative Agent;

(xi) the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any amount to be deposited into the Collection Account in connection with any such substitution; and

In addition, the Borrower shall in connection with such substitution deliver to the Collateral Custodian the related Required Loan Documents. On the date any such substitution is completed (the “Substitution Date”), the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall, automatically and without further action, release and transfer to the Borrower, free and clear of any Lien created pursuant to this Agreement, all of the right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in, to and under such Replaced Loan, but without any representation and warranty of any kind, express or implied.

(b) Transfer or Substitution of Warranty Loans. If on any day a Loan is (or becomes) a Warranty Loan, no later than ten (10) Business Days following the earlier of knowledge by the Borrower of such Loan becoming a Warranty Loan or receipt by the Borrower from the Administrative Agent or the Servicer of written notice thereof, the Borrower shall:

(i) make a deposit to the Collection Account (for allocation pursuant to Section 2.7, Section 2.8 or Section 2.9, as applicable) in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Purchase Price of such Loan, less any principal payments received by the Borrower in respect of such Loan since the Cut-Off Date by the Borrower, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (collectively, the “Retransfer Price”); provided that, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to determine whether the amount so deposited is sufficient to satisfy the foregoing requirements; provided further that, no such repayment shall be required to be made with respect to such Warranty Loan (and such Loan shall cease to be a Warranty Loan) if the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that such Warranty Loan can be (and such Warranty Loan is) cured or brought into compliance, as applicable, on or before the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period; or

(ii) with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 2.17(a), substitute for such Warranty Loan a Substitute Loan; or

(iii) sell such Warranty Loan in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.19.

The Borrowing Base shall be reduced by the Adjusted Balance of each such Warranty Loan and, if applicable, increased by the Adjusted Balance of each Substitute Loan that is replacing a Warranty Loan. Upon confirmation of the deposit of such Retransfer Price or proceeds from such Discretionary Sale into the Collection Account or the delivery by the Borrower of a Substitute Loan for each Warranty Loan (the date of such confirmation or delivery, the “Retransfer Date”), such Warranty Loan shall be removed from the Collateral and, as applicable, the Substitute Loan shall be included in the Collateral. On the Retransfer Date of each Warranty Loan, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer, assign and set-over to the Borrower (or the Servicer, as applicable), without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in, to and under such Warranty Loan and all future monies due or to become due with respect thereto, the Related Property, all Proceeds of such Warranty Loan, and Recoveries relating thereto, all rights to security for any such Warranty Loan, and all Proceeds and products of the foregoing. The Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall, at the sole expense of the Borrower, execute such documents and instruments of transfer as may be prepared by the Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, and take other such actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Borrower to effect the transfer of such Warranty Loan pursuant to this Section 2.17.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender hereunder; third, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Unmatured Termination Event or Termination Event exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Unmatured Termination Event or Termination Event exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of that Defaulting Lender.

(b) If the Administrative Agent agrees in writing in its sole discretion (subject to the consent of the Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iii) above), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 2.25. Replacement of Lenders.

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender hereunder, or if any Lender does not consent to any amendment or modification (including in the form of a consent or

waiver) pursuant to Section 13.1 and such Lender’s consent is required for such amendment or modification (so long as at the time of such replacement, each such replacement Lender consents to such amendment or modification), then the Borrower may, within 90 days of such Lender’s request for compensation, such Lender’s becoming a Defaulting Lender or such Lender’s withholding of such consent required pursuant to Section 13.1, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender (other than the Designated Lender as to which the terms of this Section 2.25 which relate to such Lender not consenting to any amendment or modification shall not apply) to (x) assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.5), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) or (y) terminate all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and reduce the aggregate Commitments outstanding; provided that:

Funds on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account as of any date of determination may be withdrawn to fund draw requests of the relevant Obligors under any Revolving Loan or Delayed Draw Loan; provided that, until the earlier to occur of the Reinvestment Period End Date or the Termination Date, the amount withdrawn to fund such draw request shall not cause a Borrowing Base Deficiency. Any such draw request made by an Obligor, along with wiring instructions for the applicable Obligor, shall be forwarded by the Borrower or the Servicer to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Collateral Custodian to fund such draw request in accordance with the Underlying Instrument pertaining to such Revolving Loan or Delayed Draw Loan. As of any date of determination, any amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account that exceed (i) the aggregate of all Unfunded Exposure Equity Amounts prior to the earlier to occur of the Reinvestment Period End Date or the Termination Date and (ii) the aggregate of all Exposure Amounts following the earlier to occur of the Reinvestment Period End Date or the Termination Date, in each case shall be transferred into the Principal Collection Account as Principal Collections.

142

Section 6.5. Realization Upon Certain Loans..

(a) Foreclosure. The Servicer may, in its discretion and consistent with the Servicing Standard and the Underlying Instruments, foreclose upon or repossess, as applicable, or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Related Property relating to a Loan that has become subject to any default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. The Servicer will comply with the Servicing Standard and Applicable Law in realizing upon such Related Property and employ practices and procedures including reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to enforce all obligations of Obligors by foreclosing upon, repossessing and causing the sale of such Related Property at public or private sale in circumstances other than those described in the preceding sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer may cause the sale of any such Related Property to the Servicer or its Affiliates for a purchase price equal to the then fair market value thereof in accordance with the Servicing Standard. In any case in which any such Related Property has suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any repair or toward the foreclosure or repossession of such Related Property except in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Servicer will remit to the Collection Account the Recoveries received by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower in connection with the sale or disposition of Related Property relating to any Loan hereunder.

(b) Management of REO Assets.

(i) If, in the reasonable business judgment of the Servicer, it becomes necessary to convert any Loan into an REO Asset in accordance with Section 6.5(a), the Servicer shall first cause the Borrower to transfer and assign such Loan (or the portion thereof owned by the Borrower) to a Portfolio Subsidiary using a contribution agreement reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Any equity interests of the Portfolio Subsidiary acquired by the Borrower shall immediately become a part of the Collateral and be subject to the grant of a security interest under Section 9.1 and shall be promptly delivered to the Collateral Custodian, each undated and duly Indorsed in blank. The Portfolio Subsidiary shall be formed and operated pursuant to organizational documents reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. After execution thereof, the Servicer shall prevent the Portfolio Subsidiary from agreeing to any amendment or other modification of the Portfolio Subsidiary organizational documents in a manner materially adverse to the Lenders without first obtaining the written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Servicer shall manage each Portfolio Subsidiary (i) in accordance with Applicable Law, (ii) with reasonable care and diligence, (iii) in accordance with the applicable Portfolio Subsidiary’s organizational, constitutional or registration documents, (iv) in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (v) with a view toward maximizing Recoveries on the applicable REO Asset (collectively, the “REO Management Standard”). The Servicer will cause all “Distributable Cash” (or any comparable definition set forth in the Portfolio Subsidiary’s organizational documents) to be deposited into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof.

143

(ii) In the event that title to any Related Property is acquired on behalf of a Portfolio Subsidiary for the benefit of its equity owners in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Portfolio Subsidiary. The Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each REO Asset to be managed, conserved, protected and operated solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale.

(iii) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower or the Servicer shall not (and shall not permit the Portfolio Subsidiary to) obtain title to any Related Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership interest in any Obligor pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial owner of Related Property, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Related Property if, as a result of any such action, the Portfolio Subsidiary would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of, such Related Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable state or local Environmental Law, unless the Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the REO Management Standard, based on an updated Phase I environmental assessment report generally prepared in accordance with the ASTM Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Standard E 1527-05 or similar standards, as may be amended or, with respect to residential property, a property inspection and title report, that, in each case except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

(1) such Related Property is in compliance in all material respects with applicable Environmental Laws; and

(2) there are no circumstances present at such Related Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation would reasonably be expected to be required by the owner, occupier or operator of the Related Property under applicable federal, state or local law or regulation.

144

In the event that the Phase I or other environmental assessment first obtained by the Servicer with respect to Related Property indicates that such Related Property may not be in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws or that hazardous materials may be present but does not definitively establish such fact, and such finding would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, then, the Servicer shall cause the Borrower to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly sell the related Loan in accordance with Section 2.19.

Section 6.6. Servicing Compensation..

As compensation for its servicing activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses, the Servicer or its designee shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.7(2), Section 2.8(a)(1) and Section 2.9(2), as applicable.

Section 6.7. Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer..

The Servicer shall be required to pay its expenses (excluding Liquidation Expenses incurred as a result of activities contemplated by Section 6.5(a), which shall be reimbursed by the Borrower; provided that, for avoidance of doubt, to the extent Liquidation Expenses relate to a Retained Interest with respect to a Loan, such Liquidation Expenses shall be allocated pro rata among the Borrower and the other holders of indebtedness evidenced by the Underlying Instruments) for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than the Servicing Fee.

Section 6.8. Reports..

(a) Borrowing or Repayment Notice. On each Funding Date, on any termination in whole or reduction in part of the Facility Amount pursuant to Section 2.3(a), on each reduction of Advances Outstanding pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and on each reinvestment of Principal Collections pursuant to Section 2.8(b), the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) will provide a Borrowing Notice or a Repayment Notice, as applicable, and a Borrowing Base Certificate, each updated as of such date, to the Administrative Agent and each Lender (with a copy to the Collateral Agent). For the avoidance of doubt, a Borrowing Base Certificate will be delivered by the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) on each other Measurement Date.

(b) Servicing Report. On each Reporting Date (beginning on the Reporting Date in November 2024) and each Funding Date, the Servicer will provide, on behalf of the Borrower, to the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Collateral Agent, a monthly statement including (i) a Borrowing Base calculated as of the most recent Determination Date, (ii) the Loan Tape calculated as of the most recent Determination Date, (iii) in connection with any month in which a Payment Date occurs, amounts to be remitted pursuant to Section 2.7, Section 2.8 or Section 2.9 to the applicable parties (which shall include any applicable wiring instructions of the parties receiving payment), and (iv) any other information the Servicer may deem relevant with respect to any Loan (such monthly statement, a “Servicing Report”). Each Servicing Report shall be signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer and the Borrower and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C. Each Borrowing Base Certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 6.8(b) shall further include the Applicable Exchange Rate as of such date.

145

(d) Financial Statements. The Servicer will submit to the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Collateral Agent, (i) within sixty (60) days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters (excluding the fiscal quarter ending on the date for which consolidated audited financial statements are delivered pursuant to clause (ii) below), commencing March 31, 2025, unaudited financial statements of the Equityholder for the most recent fiscal quarter, and (ii) within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2024, consolidated audited financial statements of the Equityholder, audited by a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants, as of the end of such fiscal year; provided that the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to this clause (d) which are made available via EDGAR, or any successor system of the Securities Exchange Commission, in the Equityholder’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q or annual report on Form 10-K, as applicable, shall be deemed delivered to the applicable parties on the date such documents are made available.

(e) Obligor Financial Statements; Valuation Reports; Other Reports. With respect to each Eligible Loan (other than any Broadly Syndicated Loan), the Servicer will post on a password protected website maintained by the Servicer to which the Administrative Agent will have access or deliver via email to the Administrative Agent, with respect to each Obligor, (i) to the extent received by the Borrower and/or the Servicer pursuant to the Underlying Instruments, the complete financial reporting package with respect to such Obligor and with respect to each Loan for such Obligor (including any financial statements, management discussion and analysis, executed covenant compliance certificates and related covenant calculations with respect to such Obligor and with respect to each Loan for such Obligor) provided to the Borrower and/or the Servicer quarterly or annually, as the case may be, by such Obligor, which delivery shall be made within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower and/or the Servicer as specified in the Underlying Instruments, and (ii) the annual budget (along with subsequent changes thereto) with respect to such Obligor and provided to the Borrower and/or the Servicer by such Obligor, which delivery shall be made within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower and/or the Servicer as specified in the Underlying Instruments. Upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Servicer will provide such other information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request with respect to any Obligor, including with respect to any Broadly Syndicated Loan, to the extent such information is actually in the possession of the Borrower or the Servicer (or obtainable thereby without undue burden or expense) and is not subject to any applicable obligation of confidentiality.

(f) Amendments to Loans. The Servicer will post on a password protected website maintained by the Servicer to which the Administrative Agent will have access or deliver via email to the Administrative Agent (x) with respect to any amendment, restatement, supplement, waiver or other modification to the Underlying Instruments of any Loan that constitutes a Material Modification, a copy of such amendment, restatement, supplement, waiver or other modification

146

(along with a summary of the material terms thereof prepared by the Borrower or the Servicer and provided to its investment committee in connection therewith, in each case, solely if such material is produced) within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Borrower acquires actual knowledge of the effectiveness thereof, and (y) with respect to any other material amendment, restatement, supplement, waiver or other modification to the Underlying Instruments of any Loan, on a monthly basis, a summary of all such amendments, restatements, supplements, waivers or other modifications (along with a summary of the material terms thereof prepared by the Borrower or the Servicer and provided to its investment committee in connection therewith) that, to the actual knowledge of the Servicer, were made effective in the preceding calendar month.

(g) Information sharing with Lenders. To the extent that a Lender requests, the Administrative Agent shall promptly forward to such Lender all such information, notices, certificates, valuation reports or any other documents it receives from the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent, the Servicer, Borrower, Equityholder or any other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder, or that it delivers to the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Servicer, Borrower, Equityholder or any other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder, in each case, as so requested by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to each Lender any information relating to or requiring action on the part of the Lenders (including, without limitation, any borrowing notice and prepayment notice).

Section 6.9. Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Servicer will provide to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, within ninety (90) days following the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, commencing with respect to the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2025, a fiscal report signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer certifying that (a) a review of the activities of the Servicer, and the Servicer’s performance pursuant to this Agreement, for the fiscal period ending on the last day of such fiscal year has been made under such Person’s supervision and (b) the Servicer has performed or has caused to be performed in all material respects all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year and no Servicer Default has occurred or, if any such Servicer Default has occurred a statement describing the nature thereof and the steps being taken to remedy such Servicer Default.

Section 6.10. Annual Independent Public Accountant’s Review of Servicing Reports. The Servicer will cause Protiviti, Inc. or a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer) to furnish to the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Collateral Custodian and the Collateral Agent, (x) within ninety (90) days following the fiscal year of the Servicer ending on December 31, 2025 and (y) within one hundred and fifty (150) days (or, if such extension is consented to by the Required Lenders in their respective sole discretion, one hundred and eighty (180) days) following the end of each subsequent fiscal year of the Servicer, commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2025: (i) a report relating to such fiscal year to the effect that (a) such firm has reviewed certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Collateral, and (b) based on such examination, such firm is of the opinion that the Servicing Reports for such year were prepared in compliance with this Agreement, except for such exceptions as it believes to be immaterial and such other exceptions as will be set forth in such firm’s report and (ii) a report covering such fiscal year to the effect that such accountants have applied certain agreed-upon procedures (a copy of which procedures are attached hereto as Schedule IV, it being understood

147

that the Servicer and the Administrative Agent will provide an updated Schedule IV reflecting any further amendments to such Schedule IV prior to the issuance of the first such agreed-upon procedures report, a copy of which shall replace the then existing Schedule IV) to certain documents and records relating to the Collateral under any Transaction Document, compared the information contained in the Servicing Reports and the Servicer’s Certificates delivered during the period covered by such report with such documents and records and that no matters came to the attention of such accountants that caused them to believe that such servicing was not conducted in compliance with this Article VI, except for such exceptions as such accountants shall believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. In the event such independent public accountants require the Collateral Custodian to agree to the procedures to be performed by such firm in any of the reports required to be prepared pursuant to this Section 6.10, the Servicer shall direct the Collateral Custodian in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Collateral Custodian will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Servicer, and the Collateral Custodian has not made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures.

Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced as to clause (i) above by a description of the circumstances giving rise to such determination delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Lender. No such resignation shall become effective until a Successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 6.2.

(h) any Change of Control of the Servicer without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders;

(i) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in any Transaction Document or in any certificate delivered pursuant to any Transaction Document shall prove to have been incorrect when made, which has a Material Adverse Effect on the Agent or any of the Secured Parties and continues to be unremedied for a period of 30 days after the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which written notice of such incorrectness requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the Servicer by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and (ii) the date on which a Responsible Officer of the Servicer acquires knowledge thereof; or

After the delivery of a Servicer Direction Notice, if the Servicer violates in any material respect any of the covenants specified in this paragraph, then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement upon delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice thereby.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.12 to the contrary, upon the occurrence of either (i) a Cause Event or (ii) the thirtieth (30^th) day (or such longer time as consented to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Servicer Default and the acceleration of the Aggregate Unpaids in accordance with Section 10.2(a) (and for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to any applicable Servicer Purchase Right Period as a result of such acceleration), the Administrative Agent may, by written notice to the Servicer (with a copy to the Collateral Custodian and Collateral Agent) (a “Servicer Termination Notice”), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 6.13. Appointment of Successor Servicer..

(a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice pursuant to Section 6.12, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent, until a date mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Administrative Agent and shall be entitled to receive, to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to Section 2.7, Section 2.8 or Section 2.9, as applicable, the Servicing Fee therefor until such date. The Administrative Agent may, following the direction of the Required Lenders, at any time following delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice in its sole discretion, appoint a successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”) (which successor, if not UBS or an Affiliate of the Servicer which regularly, and as its ordinary course of business, services or manages similarly composed portfolio of assets, has been reasonably approved by the Required Lenders), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each Lender. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Administrative Agent shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution or asset manager, having a net worth of not less than United States $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of Collateral, as the Successor Servicer hereunder.

150

(b) Upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer to the Borrower with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer; provided that, the Successor Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect to any action performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the Successor Servicer becomes the successor to the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer, (ii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer (provided that, the Successor Servicer shall pay any income taxes for which it is liable), (iii) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iv) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer, including the original Servicer. The indemnification obligations of the Successor Servicer upon becoming a Successor Servicer, are expressly limited to those arising on account of its failure to act in good faith and with reasonable care under the circumstances. In addition, the Successor Servicer shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Servicer contained in Article IV.

(c) All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of this Agreement and shall pass to and be vested in the Borrower and, without limitation, the Borrower is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Borrower in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing of the Collateral.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, a Successor Servicer is authorized to accept and rely on all of the accounting, records (including computer records) and work of the prior Servicer relating to the Loans (collectively, the “Predecessor Servicer Work Product”) without any audit or other examination thereof, and such Successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions of the prior Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, “Errors”) exist in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such Errors make it materially more difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to the Successor Servicer making or continuing any Errors (collectively, “Continued Errors”), such Successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for such Continued Errors; provided that, such Successor Servicer agrees to use its best efforts to prevent further Continued Errors. In the event that the Successor Servicer becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, it shall, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future Continued Errors.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Administrative Agent deliver a Servicer Termination Notice except after the expiration of the Servicer Purchase Right Period.

ARTICLE VII.

THE COLLATERAL AGENT

Section 7.1. Designation of the Collateral Agent..

(a) Initial Collateral Agent. Each of the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby designate and appoint the Collateral Agent to act as its agent for the purposes of perfection of a security interest in the Collateral and hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and on behalf of each of the Secured Parties and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly granted to the Collateral Agent by this Agreement. The Collateral Agent hereby accepts such agency appointment to act as Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, until its resignation or removal as Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b) Successor Collateral Agent. Upon the Collateral Agent’s receipt of Collateral Agent Termination Notice from the Administrative Agent of the designation of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.5, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will terminate its activities as Collateral Agent hereunder.

(c) Secured Party. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby appoint State Street, in its capacity as Collateral Agent hereunder, as their agent for the purposes of perfection of a security interest in the Collateral. State Street, in its capacity as Collateral Agent hereunder, hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties set forth in Section 7.2(b).

Section 7.2. Duties of the Collateral Agent..

(a) Appointment. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, each hereby appoints State Street to act as Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as from time to time designated pursuant to Section 7.1. The Collateral Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and obligations with respect thereto set forth herein.

(b) Duties. From the Closing Date, and until its removal pursuant to Section 7.5, the Collateral Agent shall perform, on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, the following duties and obligations.

(i) The Collateral Agent shall re-calculate (based solely on information provided to the Collateral Agent by the Servicer) amounts to be remitted pursuant to Sections 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9 to the applicable parties and notify the Servicer and the Administrative Agent in the event of any discrepancy between the Collateral Agent’s calculations and the Servicing Report (such dispute to be resolved in accordance with Section 2.21); and

152

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall make payments pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Report or as otherwise directed in accordance with Sections 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9.

(iii) In no instance shall the Collateral Agent be under any duty or obligation to take any action on behalf of the Servicer in respect of the exercise of any voting or consent rights, or similar actions, unless it receives specific written instructions from the Servicer, prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event or the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence of a Termination Event, in which event the Collateral Agent shall vote, consent or take such other action in accordance with such instructions.

(c) (i) The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Secured Party further authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby appoints the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution by the Collateral Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Loans now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. Nothing in this Section 7.2(c) shall be deemed to relieve the Borrower or the Servicer of their respective obligations to protect the interest of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral, including to file financing and continuation statements in respect of the Collateral in accordance with Section 5.1(f) and Section 5.3(e).

(ii) The Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Agent to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Administrative Agent; provided that, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or otherwise if the taking of such action,

153

in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Agent, (x) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Collateral Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received indemnity which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto).

SECURITY INTEREST

Section 9.1. Grant of Security Interest..

The parties to this Agreement intend that this Agreement constitute a security agreement and the transactions effected hereby constitute secured loans by the applicable Lenders to the Borrower under Applicable Law. For such purpose, the Borrower hereby pledges, collaterally assigns and grants as of the Closing Date to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a lien and continuing security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of the obligations under) all Collateral, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired by the Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, to secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Aggregate Unpaids arising in connection with this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, including, without limitation, all Aggregate Unpaids. The grant of a security interest under this Section 9.1 does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of the Secured Parties of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Person in connection with any or all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral and (iii) none of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

Section 9.2. Release of Lien on Collateral..

At the same time as (i) any Collateral expires by its terms and all amounts in respect thereof have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account, (ii) such Loan is transferred or replaced in accordance with Section 2.17, (iii) such Loan has been the subject of an Optional Sale pursuant to Section 2.18, (iv) such Loan has been the subject of a Discretionary Sale or a Lien Release Dividend pursuant to Section 2.19 or (v) this Agreement terminates in accordance with Section 13.6, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties will, to the extent requested by the Servicer, release its interest in such Collateral. In connection with any sale of such Collateral, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, will after the deposit by the Servicer of the Proceeds of such sale into the Collection Account, at the sole expense of the Servicer, execute and deliver to the Servicer any assignments, bills of sale, termination statements and any other releases and instruments as the Servicer may reasonably request in order to effect the release and transfer of such Collateral; provided that, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, will make no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such Collateral in connection with such sale or transfer and assignment. Nothing in this section shall diminish the Servicer’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.5 with respect to the Proceeds of any such sale.

168

Section 9.3. Further Assurances..

The provisions of Section 13.12 shall apply to the security interest granted under Section 9.1 as well as to the Advances hereunder.

Section 9.4. Remedies..

Section 9.5. Waiver of Certain Laws..

Each of the Borrower and the Servicer agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each of the Borrower and the Servicer, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent on its behalf or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such parcels as the Collateral Agent or such court may determine.

Section 9.6. Power of Attorney..

Each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for (and subject to the terms and conditions set forth) in this Agreement following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event, including without limitation the following powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Borrower and the Servicer hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (d) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document.

(c) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to sell all of the Collateral on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for the assets constituting the Collateral may not be liquid.

173

(d) If the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent proposes to sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at a public or private sale, at the request of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, the Borrower and the Servicer shall make available to (i) the Administrative Agent, on a timely basis, all information (including any information that the Borrower and the Servicer is required by law or contract to be kept confidential, to the extent such information can be provided without violation of such laws; provided that (A) notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Borrower nor the Servicer shall intentionally act or fail to act in a manner that causes a confidentiality restriction to exist or otherwise arise on any such information, (B) to the extent otherwise permissible under law, the Borrower and the Servicer shall provide the Administrative Agent written notice promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) after the earlier of obtaining actual knowledge or receiving written notice of the existence of confidentiality restriction which would preclude delivery of any information with respect to the Collateral, and (C) the Borrower and the Servicer shall undertake commercially reasonable efforts to remove any such confidentiality restrictions so that such information can be made available to the Administrative Agent) relating to the Collateral subject to sale, including, without limitation, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) each prospective bidder, on a timely basis, all reasonable information relating to the Collateral subject to sale, including, without limitation, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant compliance certificates and any other materials reasonably requested by each such bidder; provided that with respect to this clause (ii), neither the Borrower nor the Servicer shall be required to disclose to each such bidder any information which it is required by law or contract to be kept confidential.

(e) Any amounts received from any sale or liquidation of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.2 in excess of the Aggregate Unpaids will be applied by the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.9, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(f) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Termination Event.

(c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 11.1 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that, the Borrower shall not be required to contribute in respect of any Indemnified Amounts excluded in Section 11.1(a).

(d) If the Borrower has made any indemnity payments to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of an Indemnified Party, pursuant to this Section 11.1 and such payment fully indemnified such Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any payments from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts, then such Indemnified Party will repay to the Borrower an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts.

(b) Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 11.2 shall be paid by the Servicer to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Servicer of the Administrative Agent’s written demand therefor on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party (and the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amounts). The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Indemnified Party making a request for indemnification under this Section 11.2, shall submit to the Servicer a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of the Indemnified Amounts with respect to which such indemnification is requested, which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in Section 11.2 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Servicer on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that, the Servicer shall not be required to contribute in respect of any Indemnified Amounts excluded in Section 11.2(a).

In furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or appropriate or that a Secured Party may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution by the Collateral Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Collateral now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere

178

in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact (in each case, prior to the occurrence and continuation of a Termination Event, that are not Prohibited Transferees) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

(c) Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Lender and each Secured Party hereby waives any and all claims against the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Servicer), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or representations made by any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the Borrower or the Servicer or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or the Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

179

(d) Actions by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. In the event the Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten (10) Business Days of such Person’s receipt of such request, then such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.

(e) Notice of Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event or Servicer Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event or Servicer Default, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender, the Borrower or the Servicer referring to this Agreement, describing such Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event or Servicer Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Termination Event,” “Notice of Unmatured Termination Event” or “Notice of Servicer Default,” as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 12.1(c)) take such action with respect to such Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event or Servicer Default as may be requested by the Lenders acting jointly or as the Administrative Agent shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

(f) Credit Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender and each Secured Party acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates or review or approval of any of the Collateral, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender and Secured Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender and Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender and each Secured Party hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

180

(g) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Servicer), ratably in accordance the Pro Rata Share of its related Lender from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder; provided that, the Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct provided further that, no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Article XII. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Share of its related Lender promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Lenders hereunder and/or thereunder and to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or the Servicer.

(h) Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time, effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, by giving at least thirty (30) days’ written notice thereof to each Lender and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall (provided that no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, subject to the consent of the Borrower) appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Each Lender agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent shall be either (i) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (ii) an Affiliate of such a bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

181

(i) Payments by the Administrative Agent. Unless specifically allocated to a specific Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share in the applicable Advances Outstanding, or if there are no Advances Outstanding in accordance with such Lender’s most recent Commitments, on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such Business Day, in which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to each Lender on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such Lender not later than the following Business Day.

Section 12.2. Reserved..

Section 12.3. Erroneous Payments..

(a) Each Lender, each other Secured Party and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or any other Secured Party (or any Affiliate of a Secured Party) or any other Person that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent has determined in its sole discretion that such Person has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Secured Party or other Person (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any of their Affiliates that were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any of their Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any of their Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any of their Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 12.3, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) then such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in writing of such occurrence.

182

(c) In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf shall cause such Payment Recipient to), promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and upon the Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Payment Recipient (i) such Payment Recipient shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s lending affiliate, in a principal amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any further payment by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or its lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. As to any Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 13.16. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrower (except to the extent that the funds used to make such Erroneous Payment were received from the Borrower as repayment of such Obligations, including any payments made from Collections for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.7 or 2.8) or any other Secured Party and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time

183

credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Aggregate Unpaids, the Aggregate Unpaids or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received (except to the extent that the funds used to make such Erroneous Payment were received from the Borrower as the repayment of such Obligations, including any payments made from Collections for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.7 or 2.8).

(f) Each Payment Recipient hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Transaction Documents, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under pursuant to this Section 12.3 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(g) Each party’s obligations under this Section 12.3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document. Solely for purposes of this Section 12.3, each of the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary are excluded from the definition of “Secured Party.”

194

(i) at any time (1) no Lender Assignment shall be made unless such transfer is made only to a “qualified purchaser” as defined in the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (2) the assignee executes and delivers to the Servicer, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a fully executed Joinder Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto and a transferee letter substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto (the “Transferee Letter”); (3) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Lender shall not need the consent of the Borrower with respect to any Lender Assignment (x) unless such Lender would be a Prohibited Transferee but for the proviso thereto and the proposed assignee Affiliate is a Prohibited Transferee, to an Affiliate of such Lender, (y) required by any change in Applicable Law or (z) if such Lender Assignment is a grant or sale of a participation interest (other than, prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event and the expiration of the related Servicer Purchase Right Period, a participation to a Prohibited Transferee); provided that, the Lender granting or selling such participation interest shall provide notice thereof to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days of such grant or sale, as applicable; provided further that, no such consent of the Borrower shall be required with respect to the sale of a participation interest to an international, national or regional banking institution, a retirement or savings fund, an insurance company or a sovereign wealth fund, in each case, that is not a Prohibited Transferee and, in each case, to the extent such participant has an investment grade credit rating from one or more of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of any such participation, the Lender retains all obligations of a Lender hereunder, including with respect to the funding of Advances; and (4) the parties to any such Lender Assignment shall execute and deliver to the related Lender for its acceptance and recording in its books and records, such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties and the applicable Lender;

195

The Borrower shall not assign or delegate, or grant any interest in, or permit any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) to exist upon, any of the Borrower’s rights, obligations or duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (1) a Lender shall not need prior consent of the Borrower to consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey or transfer substantially all of its properties and assets, including without limitation any Advance (or portion thereof), to any Person (provided that, prior to the occurrence and continuation of a Termination Event, such Person is not a Prohibited Transferee) and (2) if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, unless such Lender shall have been deemed to no longer be a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.23(b), then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to cause such Person to assign its entire interest in the Advances and this Agreement to a transferee selected by the Administrative Agent, in an assignment which satisfies the conditions set forth in the first sentence of this Section 13.16(a).

(b) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. If a Lender sells a participation, such Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Administrative Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(c) The Borrower agrees that each participant of an interest in any Advance shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.15(d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater

196

payment under Sections 2.14 or 2.15, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from either (i) the introduction of or any change following the date the participant acquired the applicable participation (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any Applicable Law by any Governmental Authority or (ii) the compliance by such participant with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made or issued after the date the participant acquired the applicable participation (whether or not having the force of law).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 13.16, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that, no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 13.17. Heading and Exhibits..

The schedules and exhibits attached hereto and referred to herein shall constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement for all purposes.

Section 13.18. Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment..

All parties hereto agree that each of them and each of their employees, representatives, and other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including, without limitation, opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. “Tax treatment” and “tax structure” shall have the same meaning as such terms have for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4; provided that, with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, the provisions of this Section 13.18 shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 13.19. Intent of the Parties..

All of the parties hereto intend that the Borrower’s obligations to the Lenders incurred through the Indebtedness borrowed pursuant to this Agreement to be “loans” and not “securities” for all purposes.

197

Section 13.20. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes..

To the extent that this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document constitutes a QFC, the Borrower agrees with each Secured Party as of the Closing Date as follows:

(a) In the event a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement and/or any other the Transaction Document, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
