collectively referred to herein as the “Initial Loan Assets”): 
 (i) the Initial Loans and all Collections
and other monies due or to become due in payment of such Loans on and after the Closing Date, including any Prepayment Amounts, any Prepayment Premiums, any Late Charges, any payments in respect of a casualty or early termination, any Insurance
Proceeds and any Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to the foregoing;

the extent the Originator, other than solely in its capacity as collateral agent under any loan agreement with an Obligor, has been granted a Lien thereon), including the security interest of the Originator or the Trust Depositor in such Collateral,

herein and in Section 11.01. 
 (d) The sale, transfer, assignment, set-over and conveyance of the Loan Assets by the Trust
Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Trust Depositor or the Issuer of any obligation of the Originator in connection with the Loan Assets, or any

that notwithstanding such intent and agreement, such transfers are deemed to be a grant of a mere security interest to secure indebtedness, the Originator shall be deemed to have granted (and hereby does grant) the Trust Depositor and the Trust
Depositor shall be deemed to have granted (and hereby does grant) the Issuer, as the case may be, a perfected first priority security interest in such Loan Assets, and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under Requirements of Law

other terms and conditions of, this Agreement, the Indenture, the Trust Agreement and the Swaps, together with such other obligations or interests as may arise hereunder and thereunder in favor of the parties hereto and thereto.

secure the Trust Depositor’s own borrowing under this Agreement (to the extent that the transfer of the Loan Assets hereunder is deemed to be a mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing) repledge and reassign (i) all or a
portion of the Loan Assets pledged to the Trust Depositor by the Originator and with respect to which the Trust Depositor has not released its security interest at the time of such pledge and assignment, and (ii) all proceeds thereof. Such
repledge and reassignment may be made by the Trust Depositor with or without a repledge and reassignment by the Trust Depositor of its rights under any agreement with the Originator, and without further notice to or acknowledgment from the
Originator. The Originator waives, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, all claims, causes of action and remedies, whether legal or equitable (including any right of setoff), against the Trust Depositor or any assignee of the Trust
Depositor relating to such action by the Trust Depositor in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

own expense, on or prior to the Subsequent Transfer Date, indicate in its Computer Records that ownership of the Substitute Loans identified on the Subsequent List of Loans in the Subsequent Transfer Agreement has been sold to the Issuer through the
Trust Depositor pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (e) The Originator shall deliver prior written notice of any substitution of a Substitute Loan
to Moody’s. 
 (f) On (i) the last day of any Substitution Period or (ii) in the Servicer’s discretion, the first Payment
Date following the date of their deposit into the Principal Collection Account, any amounts previously deposited in accordance with the procedures for the substitution of Loans set forth in Section 2.04(a) that have not been applied to
purchase one or more Substitute Loans shall be deemed to constitute Principal Collections and shall be transferred on the next Payment Date to the Note Distribution Account and distributed in accordance with the Priority of Payments, as applicable;
provided that no such distribution shall be made during the Replenishment Period if the Special Redemption criteria are not satisfied with respect to such amount; provided further that prior to the expiration of the related
Substitution Period any such amounts shall not be deemed to be Principal Collections and shall remain in the Principal Collection Account until applied to acquire Substitute Loans or distributed in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The price
paid (or, in the case of a contemporaneous conveyance of a Substitute Loan pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(i)(II), deemed paid) by the Issuer for any Substitute Loan shall be an amount equal to (x) in the case of a Loan originated by
the Originator, the Outstanding Loan Balance thereof, and (y) in the case of a Loan acquired by the Originator from a third party, the purchase price paid for such Loan, plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon. 
 Section 2.05 Conveyance of Additional Loans 
 (a) The Issuer may, at any time during the Pre-Funding Period and the Replenishment Period and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.05, apply Principal Collections and (solely during the
Pre-Funding Period) Unused Proceeds standing to the credit of the Principal Collections Account to purchase from the Trust Depositor (by delivery of a Subsequent Transfer Agreement in the form of Exhibit I hereto) Additional Loan Assets. Upon
the purchase of any Additional Loan Assets pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 2.05, such Additional Loan Assets shall become part of the Indenture Collateral subject to the Lien of the Indenture. The Servicer represents and
warrants in connection with the foregoing that it will not cause the Issuer to purchase any Additional Loan pursuant to this Section 2.05 for the primary purpose of recognizing gains or decreasing losses resulting from market value
changes.

 (b) Within five Business Days after the Effective Date, the Servicer will (i) engage Independent
Accountants to determine the extent of compliance with the Portfolio Criteria of the Loans included in the Collateral as of the Effective Date, (ii) deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies an Officer’s Certificate
certifying the extent of compliance with the Portfolio Criteria of the Loans included in the Collateral as of the Effective Date and appending thereto the Quarterly Report and the Additional Loan Information Schedule, and (iii) request that
each Rating Agency confirm in writing within 60 Business Days after the initial Payment Date (or such later date as each Rating Agency may determine (in such case, the Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer written
notice of each such Rating Agency’s projected later date)) that such Rating Agency has not reduced or withdrawn any of the ratings assigned to the Offered Notes on the Closing Date (the “Effective Date Ratings Confirmation”);
provided that the Servicer shall not be required to request such confirmation from Moody’s and Fitch if the Issuer is in compliance with the Portfolio Criteria as of the Effective Date. Within 60 Business Days after the initial Payment Date,
the Servicer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies a report of the Independent Accountants certifying the results of the determination made with respect to clause (ii) above. If (A) the Servicer fails to
deliver the Officer’s Certificate referenced in clause (ii) above, (B) any Rating Agency notifies the Issuer or the Servicer on the Issuer’s behalf within 60 Business Days after the initial Payment Date (or such later date
as each Rating Agency may determine) that its rating on any Class of Offered Notes will be reduced or withdrawn, or fails to respond to the request for an Effective Date Ratings Confirmation, or (C) the Servicer fails to deliver the report of
the Independent Accountants referenced above (any of such events, an “Effective Date Ratings Downgrade”), the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer shall present a Proposed Plan to the Rating Agencies to obtain an Effective Date Ratings
Confirmation. If a Proposed Plan has not been presented and accepted by the Rating Agencies, resulting in an Effective Date Ratings Confirmation on or prior to the first Payment Date following the applicable Effective Date Ratings Downgrade (a
“Ratings Confirmation Failure”), such Payment Date and any succeeding Payment Date will be a Sequential Payment Date, until such date as each such Rating Agency has delivered an Effective Date Ratings Confirmation or until the
Outstanding Principal Balance of each Class of Notes is reduced to zero. 
 (c) During the Pre-Funding Period and the Replenishment Period,
each Additional Loan to be purchased by the Issuer for inclusion in the Loan Pool will be eligible for purchase by the Issuer and inclusion in the Indenture Collateral only if, after giving effect to the inclusion of the applicable Additional Loans
in the Loan Pool, the Portfolio Criteria and the Portfolio Acquisition and Disposition Requirements are satisfied; provided that if any component of the Portfolio Criteria is not satisfied prior to giving effect to the inclusion of such
Additional Loans, the Portfolio Criteria shall be deemed satisfied with respect to such component if the component is maintained or improved by the inclusion of such Additional Loans. 
 (d) [Reserved]. 
 (e) The Originator shall
transfer to the Trust Depositor and the Trust Depositor shall transfer to the Issuer the Additional Loans and the other property and rights related thereto

satisfied; provided that if any component of the Portfolio Criteria is not satisfied prior to giving effect to the inclusion of such Additional Loans, the Portfolio Criteria shall be deemed satisfied with respect to such component if the
component is maintained or improved by the inclusion of such Additional Loans; 
 (iii) the Originator shall have delivered to
the Trust Depositor and Indenture Trustee a duly executed Subsequent Purchase Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit J hereto, which shall include a Subsequent List of Loans listing the Additional Loans; 
 (iv) the Trust Depositor shall have delivered to the Issuer a duly executed Subsequent Transfer Agreement, which shall include a
Subsequent List of Loans listing the Additional Loans; 
 (v) the Trust Depositor shall have deposited or caused to be
deposited in the Collection Account all Collections received with respect to the Additional Loans on and after the related Subsequent Cut-Off Date; 
 (vi) as of each Subsequent Transfer Date, neither the Originator nor the Trust Depositor was insolvent nor will either of them have been made insolvent by such transfer nor is either of them aware of any pending
insolvency; 
 (vii) no selection procedures believed by the Originator or the Trust Depositor to be adverse to the interests
of the Holders or the Swap Counterparties shall have been utilized in selecting the Additional Loans; and 
 (viii) each of
the representations and warranties made by the Originator and Trust Depositor pursuant to Section 3.02 (including without limitation that such Additional Loan is an Eligible Loan), Section 3.03(b) (except that any reference
therein to an Initial Loan shall be deemed a reference to an Additional Loan) and Section 3.04 applicable to the Additional Loans shall be true and correct as of the related Subsequent Cut-Off Date. 
 (f) The Originator shall, at its own expense, on or prior to the Subsequent Transfer Date, indicate in its Computer Records that ownership of the
Additional Loans identified on the Subsequent List of Loans in the Subsequent Transfer Agreement has been sold to the Issuer through the Trust Depositor pursuant to this Agreement.

amount equal to the Released Amounts immediately upon identification thereof and upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer, which release shall be automatic and shall require no further act by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer;
provided that, the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer shall execute and deliver such instruments of release and assignment, or otherwise confirm the foregoing release, as may reasonably be requested by the Trust Depositor in writing. Upon such
release, such Released Amounts shall not constitute and shall not be included in the Loan Assets. 
 (b) Immediately upon the release to the
Trust Depositor by the Indenture Trustee of the Released Amounts, the Trust Depositor hereby irrevocably agrees to release to the Originator such Released Amounts, which release shall be automatic and shall require no further act by the Trust
Depositor; provided that, the Trust Depositor shall execute and deliver such instruments of release and assignment, or otherwise confirming the foregoing release of any Released Amounts, as may be reasonably requested by the Originator.

 Section 2.07 Delivery of Loan Files 
 (a) The Originator and the Trust Depositor shall deliver possession of all “instruments” (within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC) not constituting part of “chattel paper” (within the meaning of
such Article 9) that evidence any Loan, including all Underlying Notes (other than in the case of Noteless Loans), and all other portions of the Loan Files to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and the Swap Counterparties five Business
Days prior to the applicable Assignment Date, in each case endorsed in blank without recourse, and shall deliver a copy of the Loan Register with respect to any Noteless Loan, together with an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer as to the
accuracy thereof, in accordance with the foregoing delivery requirements. Pursuant to Section 3.06 of the Indenture, the Issuer is required to deliver such instruments and Loan Files to the Indenture Trustee as pledgee under the Indenture for
the benefit of the Noteholders and the Swap Counterparties. Accordingly, the Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Originator and the Trust Depositor to deliver possession of all such instruments and the Loan Files, along with the related Loan
Checklists and List of Loans, to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of and for the account of the Issuer, and agrees that such delivery shall satisfy the condition set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.07. The Originator and the
Trust Depositor shall also identify on the List of Loans (including any deemed amendment thereof associated with any Substitute Loans), whether by attached schedule or marking or other effective identifying designation, all Loans that are or are
evidenced by such instruments. 
 (b) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default, the Indenture Trustee shall not
record the Assignments of Mortgage delivered pursuant to Section 2.07(a) and 

  

 - 67 - 








 
the definition of Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default, the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be recorded in the
appropriate offices each Assignment of Mortgage delivered to it with respect to all Loans except those Loans covered by the proviso to the definition of Assignment of Mortgage. Each such recording shall be at the expense of the Servicer; provided
to the extent the Servicer does not pay such expense, then the Indenture Trustee shall be reimbursed pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.05. 
 Section 2.08 Certification by Indenture Trustee; Possession of Loan Files 
 (a) On or
prior to the applicable Assignment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall review the Loan Files required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.07(a) on the applicable Assignment Date and shall deliver to the Originator, the Trust Depositor,
the Swap Counterparties and the Servicer a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 on or prior to such Assignment Date. Within 360 days after each Assignment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Originator, the
Servicer, the Trust Depositor, the Swap Counterparties and any Noteholder who requests a copy from the Indenture Trustee a final certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2 evidencing the completeness of the Loan Files with
respect to the Loans being transferred on such Assignment Date. 
 (b) If the Indenture Trustee, during the process of reviewing the Loan
Files, finds any document constituting a part of a Loan File which is not properly executed, has not been received, is unrelated to a Loan identified in the List of Loans, or is not listed on the Loan Checklist related to such Loan File, or does not
conform in a material respect to the requirements of the definition of Loan File, or the description thereof as set forth in the List of Loans and the related Loan Checklist, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly so notify the Originator, the Trust
Depositor and the Servicer. In performing any such review, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on the Originator as to the purported genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. It is understood that the scope of the Indenture
Trustee’s review of the Loan Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents listed on the Loan Checklists have been executed and received and relate to the Loans identified in the List of Loans; provided with respect to the UCC
financing statements referenced in the definition of Loan File, the Indenture Trustee’s sole responsibility will be to confirm that the Loan File contains UCC financing statements and not to make determinations about the materiality of such UCC
financing statements. The Originator agrees to use reasonable efforts to remedy a material defect in a document constituting part of a Loan File of which it is so notified by the Indenture Trustee. If, however, within 30 days after the Indenture
Trustee’s notice to it respecting such material defect the Originator has not remedied the defect and such defect materially and adversely affects the value of the related Loan, such Loan will be treated as an “Ineligible Loan” and
the Originator will (i) substitute in lieu of such Loan a Substitute Loan in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 11.01 or (ii) repurchase such Loan at a purchase price equal to the Transfer Deposit
Amount, which purchase price shall be deposited in the Collection Account within such 30 day period. 
 (c) Release of Entire Loan File
Upon Substitution. Subject to Section 5.08(c), upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a certification of a Servicing Officer of the Servicer of such substitution or of such purchase and the deposit of the amounts described in
Section 2.08(b) in the Collection Account (which certification shall be in the form of Exhibit E hereto), the 

  

 - 68 - 








 
Indenture Trustee shall release to the Servicer for release to the Originator the related Loan File and the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer shall execute,
without recourse, and deliver such instruments of transfer prepared by the Servicer necessary to transfer all right, title and interest in such Loan to the Originator free and clear of any Liens created by the Transaction Documents. All costs of any
such transfer shall be borne by the Servicer. 
 (d) Partial Release of Loan File and/or Collateral. Subject to
Section 5.08(d), if in connection with taking any action in connection with a Loan (including, without limitation, the amendment to documents in the Loan File and/or a revision to Collateral), the Servicer requires any item constituting
part of the Loan File, or the release from the Lien of the related Loan of all or part of any Collateral, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee a certificate to such effect in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto. Upon receipt
of such certification, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer within two Business Days of such request (if such request was received by 2:00 p.m., central time), the requested documentation, and the Indenture Trustee shall execute,
without recourse, and deliver such instruments of transfer necessary to release all or the requested part of the Collateral from the Lien of the related Loan and/or the Lien under the Transaction Documents. 
 (e) Annual Certification. On the Payment Date in January of each year, commencing January 2008, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the
Originator, the Trust Depositor, each Swap Counterparty and the Servicer a report detailing all transactions with respect to the Loans for which the Indenture Trustee holds the Loan Files pursuant to this Agreement during the prior calendar year.
Such report shall list all Loan Files which were released by or returned to the Indenture Trustee during the prior calendar year, the date of such release or return and the reason for such release or return. 
 Section 2.09 Optional Repurchase by the Originator of Certain Loans; Limitations on Substitution and Repurchase. 
 (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.09(c), the Originator shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase any
(i) Delinquent Loan, (ii) Defaulted Loan, (iii) Loan that has a covenant default, (iv) Materially Modified Loan, (v) Loan, the terms of which are subsequently amended in a manner not permitted by this Agreement, including a
Loan that has become subject to a Specified Amendment or (vi) Discretionary Repurchased Loan. In the event of such a purchase, the Originator shall deposit in the Collection Account, on the next succeeding Determination Date, an amount equal to
the Transfer Deposit Amount for such Loan (or applicable portion thereof) as of the date of such purchase. The Originator, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments, consents or other documents and perform all
acts reasonably requested by the Servicer in order to effect the transfer and release of any of the Issuer’s interests in the Loans that are being purchased. 
 (b) [Reserved.] 
 (c) The aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of all Loans repurchased pursuant to
Section 2.09(a) or substituted pursuant to Section 2.04 shall not exceed an amount equal to, as of any date of determination, 20% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not
apply to Loans substituted by reason of the occurrence of a Substitution Event of the type specified in clause (e) of the definition of such term.

 Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the applicable Assignment Date, but shall survive
the sale, transfer and assignment of the Loan Assets to the Issuer. The repurchase obligation or substitution obligation of the Originator set forth in Section 11.01 constitutes the sole remedy available for a breach of a representation
or warranty of the Originator set forth in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04 or 3.05 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Originator shall not be deemed to be remaking any of the representations set

jurisdiction of its organization and has the requisite corporate power to own or lease its assets and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged. The Originator is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it or properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification, except where the failure so to qualify would not reasonably be expected have a material adverse
effect on the business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Originator or Trust Depositor. The Originator is properly licensed in each jurisdiction to the extent required by the laws of such jurisdiction in order to
originate, and (if the Originator is to be the Servicer) service the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (b)
Authorization. The Originator has the corporate power and authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Originator is a party and all of the transactions contemplated under
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Originator is a party, and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which
the Originator is a party.

Insolvency Laws and general principles of equity, whether considered in a suit at law or in equity. 
 (d) Binding Agreements. This
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Originator is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Originator enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement of such terms may be limited by

 (e) No Consent
Required. The Originator is not required to obtain the consent of any other party or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution,

Requirements of Law or any order or decree of any court or the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Originator, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a breach of any material mortgage, indenture, contract or other
agreement to which the Originator is a party or by which the Originator or any of the Originator’s properties may be bound. 
 (g)
Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or, to the knowledge of the Originator, threatened, against the Originator or any of its respective properties
or with respect to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the Originator is a party that, if adversely determined, would, in the reasonable opinion of the Originator, be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business,

Loans and any Substitute Loans or Additional Loans, as the case may be, to the Trust Depositor pursuant to the ACAS Transfer Agreement is and will be Solvent. 
 (k) Use of Proceeds. No proceeds of the sale of any Initial Loan, Additional Loan or Substitute Loan hereunder received by the Originator will be used by the Originator to purchase or carry any “margin

 (l) An Investment

its knowledge, are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property
by any Governmental Authority (other than any amount of tax due, the validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been provided on the books of the Originator); no tax Lien has been filed and, to the Originator’s knowledge, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge. 
 (n) Sale Treatment. The Originator has treated the transfer of Loan Assets to the Trust Depositor for all purposes (other than for financial
accounting purposes) as a sale on all of its relevant books, records, financial statements and other applicable documents, except to the extent applicable tax laws require otherwise. 
 (o) Marking of Files. The Originator will have, at its own expense, prior to the close of business on the Closing Date, indicated in its Computer
Records that ownership of the Loans transferred by it to the Trust Depositor and identified on the List of Loans have been sold to the Trust Depositor. 
 (p) Security Interest. 
 (i) This Agreement creates a valid, continuing and

 (iv) the Originator has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the
Loan Assets to the sale of the Loan Assets under the ACAS Transfer Agreement to the Trust Depositor; 
 (v) the Originator has
caused the timely filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under Requirements of Law in order to perfect the security interest in such Loan Assets granted to the Trust Depositor
under the ACAS Transfer Agreement; 
 (vi) other than the security interest granted to the Trust Depositor pursuant to the
ACAS Transfer Agreement and this Agreement, the Originator has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in or otherwise conveyed any of such Loan Assets except in connection with the VFCC CP Transaction, which security interest will
be terminated or released on or prior to the Closing Date or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable. The Originator has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Originator that include a description of

constitutes the face value of such Loan and reasonably equivalent value in consideration for the transfer to the Trust Depositor of such Loan under the ACAS Transfer Agreement, such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed
by the Originator to the Trust Depositor, and such transfer was not and is not voidable or subject to avoidance under any Insolvency Law. 
 (r) Mortgages. If a Loan is secured by real property and the Originator, other than solely in its capacity as collateral agent under any Loan Document with an Obligor, is the mortgagee, the mortgage has been assigned by the
Originator to the Trust Depositor and by the Trust Depositor to the Issuer and the Assignment of Mortgage has been delivered to the Indenture Trustee.

adverse to the interests of the Trust Depositor were utilized by the Originator in selecting the Loans to be sold, assigned, transferred, set-over and otherwise conveyed hereunder.

operations of the related business serves as Collateral for such Loan, the related mortgaged property was free of contamination from toxic substances or hazardous wastes requiring action under Requirements of Law or is subject to ongoing
environmental rehabilitation approved by the Servicer, and, as of the Closing Date, the Originator has no knowledge of any such contamination from toxic substances or hazardous waste material on any such real property unless such items are below
action levels. 
 The representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01(p) shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and no breach of such representations and warranties may be waived by any party hereto without the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect thereto. The Trust Depositor and the Issuer shall provide S&P with prompt written notice
upon obtaining knowledge of any breach of the representations and warranties set out in Section 3.01(p).

Representations and Warranties Regarding Each Loan and as to Certain Loans in the Aggregate 
 The Originator represents and
warrants (x) with respect to subsections (a)-(b) below, as to each Loan to be transferred on the related Assignment Date as of the applicable Cut-Off Date, and (y) with respect to subsection (c) below, as to the
Loan Pool in the aggregate as of the applicable Cut-Off Date (after giving effect to the addition of any Substitute Loans and/or Additional Loans, as applicable, to the Loan Pool), that:

Substitute Loans and/or Additional Loans, as applicable, on a Subsequent Transfer Date) is true, complete and correct. 
 (b) Eligible
Loan. Such Loan satisfies the criteria for the definition of Eligible Loan set forth in this Agreement provided that the foregoing representation and warranty is made to the Originator’s actual knowledge with respect to clause
(38) of the definition of “Eligible Loan”, and provided further that the foregoing representation and warranty is made to the Originator’s actual knowledge as it relates to the origination and servicing practices of the

originated or (2) substantially all of the proceeds of the Loan were used to acquire, improve, or protect an interest in real property that, at the date the Loan was originated, was the only security for the Loan.

 SERVICING OF LOANS

 (a) ACAS is hereby appointed as Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. ACAS accepts the appointment and agrees to act as the Servicer pursuant to this
Agreement. 
 (b) The Servicer will have the sole obligation to manage, administer, service and make collections on the Loans and perform or
cause to be performed all contractual and customary undertakings of the holder of the Loans to the Obligor. The Owner Trustee, at the 

  

 - 83 - 








 
written request of a Servicing Officer, shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney or other documents necessary or appropriate in the opinion of
the Owner Trustee to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Servicer is hereby appointed the Servicer hereunder until such time as any Servicer Transfer may be effected under Article VIII.
Except as expressly set forth herein and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, acting on behalf of the Issuer, may execute any amendments, waivers, modifications or variances related to any Loan and any documents related
thereto. 
 Section 5.02 General Duties 
 (a) The Servicer will service, administer and enforce the Loans in the Loan Pool on behalf of the Issuer and will have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration which it deems necessary or desirable and as shall not contravene the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer will manage, service, administer, and make collections on the Loans in the Loan Pool with reasonable care, using that
degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable loans that it services for itself or others. The Servicer’s duties will include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors
regarding the Loans in the Loan Pool, investigating delinquencies, accounting for collections, furnishing quarterly and annual statements with respect to collections and payments in accordance with Article IX hereof and with its customary
standards, policies and procedures, and using its best efforts to maintain the perfected first priority security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Loan Assets. The Servicer will follow its customary standards, policies, and procedures and
will have full power and authority, acting alone (and consistent with its customary standards, policies and procedures, in its own name), to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection, including,
without limitation, litigation, that it deems necessary or desirable. The parties hereto each acknowledge, and the Noteholders are hereby deemed to acknowledge, that the Servicer, as Servicer under this Agreement, possesses only such rights with
respect to the enforcement of rights and remedies with respect to the Loans and the related Collateral and under the Loan Documents as those which have been transferred to the Issuer with respect to the related Loan. Therefore, the provisions of
this Article V shall not apply to Third Party Agented Loans except to the extent the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, has the right to vote, consent, give directions, make advances or receive payments with respect thereto, and these
provisions shall only apply to Agented Notes with respect to which the Servicer (or American Capital Financial Services or any Successor Servicer) is the administrative agent or the equivalent and to the extent not inconsistent with the related Loan
Documents. The parties hereto each acknowledge, and the Noteholders are hereby deemed to acknowledge, that with respect to Agented Notes and Third Party Agented Loans, the Servicer possesses only such rights with respect to voting and the
enforcement of rights and remedies with respect to the Loans and the related Collateral and under the Loan Documents as those which have been transferred to the Issuer with respect to the related Loan. 
 (b) If the Servicer commences a legal proceeding to enforce a Defaulted Loan pursuant to Section 5.15 or commences or participates in a legal
proceeding (including a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Loan in the Loan Pool, the Issuer will be deemed to have automatically assigned such Loan to the Servicer immediately prior to the commencement of any such legal proceeding,
for purposes of commencing or participating in 

  

 - 84 - 








 
any such proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Issuer, pursuant to this Section 5.02(b), to
execute and deliver, on behalf of itself and the Issuer, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents
or instruments in connection with any such proceedings. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Loan on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the
Loan, then the Owner Trustee will, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps on behalf of the Issuer to enforce the Loan, including bringing suit in the Issuer’s name. 
 Section 5.03 Administration 
 The Servicer will act as administrator for the Issuer and the Owner Trustee under the Transaction Documents and will provide the notices and perform all other obligations required to be provided or performed by the Issuer and/or the Owner
Trustee under the Transaction Documents. The Servicer shall monitor the performance of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and shall advise the Owner Trustee when action is necessary to comply with the Issuer’s or the Owner Trustee’s duties
under the Transaction Documents. The Servicer shall prepare for execution by the Owner Trustee or Issuer or shall cause the preparation by other appropriate Persons of all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as
it shall be the duty of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the Transaction Documents. The Servicer will also perform the accounting functions of the Issuer which the Owner Trustee is required to perform under the
Trust Agreement, including but not limited to maintaining the books of the Issuer, filing tax returns for the Issuer and delivering tax-related reports to Noteholders, except Forms 1099 and Schedules K-1, which shall be the responsibility of the
Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee, respectively. 
 Section 5.04 Disposition upon Termination of Loan 
 Except in respect of Third Party Agented Loan, upon the termination of a Loan included in the Loan Pool as a result of a default by the Obligor
thereunder, and upon any such Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, the Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts to dispose of any related Collateral for a purchase price equal to the fair market value thereof as reasonably determined by the
Servicer. 
 Section 5.05 Subservicers 
 The Servicer may enter into servicing agreements with one or more subservicers (including any Affiliate of the Servicer) to perform all or a portion of the servicing functions on behalf of the Servicer; provided
that, the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable to the Issuer for servicing and administering the Loans in the Loan Pool in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of
the appointment of such subservicer, to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering such Loans. The fees and expenses of the subservicer (if any) will be as agreed between the
Servicer and its subservicer and neither the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Swap Counterparties nor the Holders will have any responsibility therefor. All actions of a subservicer taken pursuant to such a subservicer agreement
will be taken as an agent of the Servicer with the same force and effect as though performed by the Servicer.

subservicer, with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or a subservicer, as applicable, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement, the forms of which documents
shall be prepared by the Servicer and submitted for execution to the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be. The Servicer shall not, nor shall the Servicer permit any subservicer to, initiate any action in the Indenture
Trustee’s name if such action were to require the Indenture Trustee to become registered to do business in any state in which it was not already registered and without both obtaining the Indenture Trustee’s written consent and indicating
the Servicer’s or such subservicer’s representative capacity. 
 Section 5.07 Notice to Obligors 
 The Servicer will not be required to notify any Obligor that such Obligor’s Loan, or any security interest in such Loan or related Collateral, has
been sold, transferred, assigned, or conveyed pursuant to this Agreement; provided that, in the event that the Servicer is replaced, then if the place for payment pursuant to any Loan is changed, except with respect to Third Party Agented
Loans, the Successor Servicer must give each related Obligor prompt written notice of the appointment of the Successor Servicer and the place to which such Obligor should make payments pursuant to each such Loan. 
 Section 5.08 Collection Efforts; Modification of Loans; Release of Loan Files 
 (a) The Servicer will make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Loans in the Loan Pool as and when
the same become due, and will follow those collection procedures which it follows with respect to all comparable loans that it services for itself or others. 
 (b) The Servicer may, subject to Sections 5.09 and 5.10, at the request of an Obligor and at the Servicer’s option, waive, modify or otherwise vary any provision of a Loan (including Prepayment
Premiums and Late Charges) in accordance with its Credit and Collection Policy; provided that, (i) no such waiver, modification or variance shall be used to circumvent the Required Reserve Amount, (ii) except as provided in
Sections 5.09, 5.10 and 5.15, no such waiver, modification or variance shall have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders or the Swap Counterparties, (iii) if any Loan becomes a Materially Modified Loan as a result of
an Obligor’s inability to pay principal or interest, then the Loan shall be treated as a Delinquent Loan as of the payment date that would have been missed had such Loan not been so waived, modified or varied, and (iv) the Servicer may not
reduce the interest rate payable by the Obligor with respect to a Loan unless the Global Weighted Average Spread is greater than or equal to the Minimum Global Weighted Average Spread after giving effect to the reduction, it being understood that a
waiver of any Late Charges is not such a reduction. With respect to any Third Party Agented Loan, the Servicer, acting on behalf of the Issuer, shall not consent to any waiver, 
  

 - 86 - 








 
modification or variance in respect of such Loan that would be in violation of this Section 5.08(b). The Servicer shall not be in breach of its
obligations under this Agreement by reason of any waiver, modification or variance taken by the administrative agent, syndicate agent or other Person acting in a similar capacity in respect of a Third Party Agented Loan taken by such agent or other
Person pursuant to its own authority or at the direction of the requisite percentage of the lenders in violation of this Agreement if the Servicer, acting on behalf of the Issuer, did not consent to such waiver, modification or variance on behalf of
the Issuer. 
 (c) Upon the payment in full of any Loan and the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be
escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes or the deposit into the Collection Account of the purchase price of any Loan purchased by the Trust Depositor, the Servicer or another Person pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Transaction
Document, the Servicer will immediately notify the Indenture Trustee by a certification in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Loan File. Upon receipt of such certification and request,
the Indenture Trustee shall in accordance with Section 2.08(c) release, within two Business Days (if such request was received by 2:00 p.m. central time), the related Loan File to the Servicer. Expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be payable by the Servicer and shall not be chargeable to the Collection Account or the Note Distribution Account. 
 (d) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Loan, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon request of the Servicer and
delivery to the Indenture Trustee of a certification in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto signed by a Servicing Officer, release the related Loan File to the Servicer within two Business Days (if such request was received by 2:00 p.m.
central time), and the Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Servicer shall return the Loan File to the Indenture Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer
exists, unless the Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or the Loan File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public
official as required by the Requirements of Law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure or repossession of Collateral either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the
Indenture Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to whom such Loan File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a
Servicing Officer stating that such Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt relating to such Loan shall be released by the Indenture Trustee to the Servicer. 
 (e) The Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents provided to it necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in
respect of Collateral or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Obligor on the Underlying Note (if any) or other agreement securing Collateral or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights
provided by the Underlying Note (if any) or other agreement securing Collateral or otherwise available at 

  

 - 87 - 








 
law or in equity. Together with such documents or pleadings, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer
requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Indenture Trustee and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Indenture Trustee will not invalidate or
otherwise adversely affect the Lien of the agreement securing Collateral, except for the termination of such a Lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale. The Indenture Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written request from a
Servicing Officer, execute any document provided to the Indenture Trustee by the Servicer or take any other action requested in such request that is, in the opinion of the Servicer as evidenced by such request, required or appropriate by any state
or other jurisdiction to discharge the Lien securing Collateral upon the satisfaction thereof and the Indenture Trustee will sign and post, but will not guarantee receipt of, any such documents to the Servicer, or such other party as the Servicer
may direct, within five Business Days of the Indenture Trustee’s receipt of such certificate or documents. Such certificate or documents shall establish to the Indenture Trustee’s satisfaction that the related Loan has been paid in full by
or on behalf of the Obligor (or subject to a deficiency claim against such Obligor) and that such payment has been deposited in the Collection Account. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5.08 to the contrary, in no event may the Servicer possess in excess of 15 Loan Files (excluding Loan Files for Loans which have been paid in full or
repurchased) at any given time. 
 (g) The initial Servicer shall (i) provide each Rating Agency with a written summary of any Specified
Amendment and shall provide a copy of such Specified Amendment to Moody’s, in each case promptly after its execution, and, (ii) promptly upon request by either of S&P or Fitch, provide a copy of any such Specified Amendment to S&P
and/or Fitch, as applicable; provided that with respect to any Specified Amendment to a Third Party Agented Loan, such copy shall be delivered as promptly as reasonably practicable following written notice to the Servicer of such Specified
Amendment from the administrative agent, syndicate agent or other Person acting in a similar capacity in respect of such Loan. Such summary shall set forth a brief description of the reasons for, and the effect of, such Specified Amendment.

 (h) With respect to each of the modifications described in clauses (a)-(d) of the definition of Specified Amendment, the
initial Servicer may elect to submit the modified Loan to S&P to be re-rated. If the initial Servicer does not elect to have such Loan re-rated by S&P, then such Loan shall be deemed to be a Delinquent Loan as of the date that is 60 days
after the effective date of the relevant Specified Amendment. Any Loan which is subject to a modification described in clause (e) of the definition of Specified Amendment will be deemed to be a Delinquent Loan upon the effectiveness of
such Specified Amendment. If the initial Servicer elects to have such Loan re-rated by S&P, then at any time during such process, including up to 90 days after initial Servicer receives the revised rating of the Loan, the initial Servicer may
repurchase such Loan at a repurchase price equal to the Transfer Deposit Amount. The provisions of this Section 5.08(h) shall not apply to modifications, amendments or variances that do not constitute Specified Amendments. 
  

 - 88 - 








 Section 5.09 Prepaid Loan 
 The Servicer may, at its option and in accordance with its Credit and Collection Policy, agree to permit a Loan in the Loan Pool that is not otherwise
contractually prepayable by its terms to (a) prepay in part or (b) become a Prepaid Loan; provided that, if the Originator is acting as the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer will not permit the early termination or full prepayment of
such a Loan unless (i) such early termination or full prepayment would not result in the Issuer receiving an amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) less than the sum of (A) the Outstanding Loan Balance on the date of such
prepayment, plus any accrued and unpaid interest payments thereon and (B) any Unreimbursed Servicer Advances thereon (unless effectively waived and released by the Servicer) or (ii) if such early termination or full prepayment would
result in the Issuer receiving a Prepayment Amount less than the amount set forth in clause (i), the Originator shall have agreed to pay the Issuer the difference between the Prepayment Amount actually paid and the amount set forth in
clause (i) (such payment by the Originator also to be considered a Prepayment Amount). 
 Section 5.10
Acceleration 
 The Servicer, at its option and consistent with its Credit and Collection Policy, may accelerate (or elect not to
accelerate) the maturity of all or any Scheduled Payments under any Loan in the Loan Pool under which a default under the terms thereof has occurred and is continuing (after the lapse of any applicable grace period); provided that, promptly
after such Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, the Servicer shall either accelerate the Scheduled Payments due under the Loan or take other action in accordance with the Originator’s past practice, including foreclosing on the related Collateral, to
realize upon the value of such Loan and the related Collateral to the fullest extent permitted by the terms of such Loan; it being understood that any action by the Servicer in respect of Agented Notes and Third Party Agented Loans shall be limited
to the Issuer’s rights as a lender under the Loan Documents and any rights of the Servicer as agent under any Agented Note shall be limited by directions received from the requisite percentage of lenders under the related Loan Documents.

 Section 5.11 Taxes 
 To the extent provided for in any Loan in the Loan Pool, the Servicer will make reasonable efforts to collect (or cause to be collected) all payments with respect to amounts due for taxes and assessments relating to such Loans and remit
such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority on or prior to the date such payments are due. 
 Section 5.12 Insurance
Premiums 
 To the extent provided for in any Loan in the Loan Pool, the Servicer will make reasonable efforts to collect (or cause to
be collected) all payments with respect to amounts due for insurance premiums relating to such Loans or the Collateral and remit such amounts to the appropriate insurer on or prior to the date such payments are due. 
 Section 5.13 Remittances 
 The Servicer will service all Collections in accordance with Section 7.01 hereof. 
  

 - 89 - 








 Section 5.14 Servicer Advances 
 For each Collection Period, if the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) that was due and payable pursuant to a Loan in the
Loan Pool during such Collection Period was not received prior to the end of such Collection Period, the Servicer has the right to elect, but is not obligated, to make a Servicer Advance in an amount up to the amount of such delinquent Scheduled
Payment (or portion thereof) if the Servicer reasonably believes that the advance will be reimbursed by the related Obligor. The Servicer will deposit any Servicer Advances into the Collection Account on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)
on the related Transfer Date, in immediately available funds. The Servicer will be entitled to be reimbursed for Servicer Advances in accordance with the Priority of Payments. 
 Section 5.15 Realization upon Defaulted Loan 
 The Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts consistent with its Credit and Collection Policy in its servicing of Loans to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Collateral relating to a
Defaulted Loan and will retain a sales agent to sell such Collateral consistent with its current practices. The Servicer will follow such other practices and procedures as it deems necessary or advisable and as are customary and usual in its
servicing of loans and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such Collateral, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to enforce all obligations of Obligors and foreclosing upon and selling such Collateral at a
public or private sale in such circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer may not sell any such Collateral without first using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain bids to purchase such Collateral from at
least three Persons (other than the Servicer or any of its Affiliates). The Servicer may sell the Collateral to the highest bidder (if any bids are received) or the Servicer or an Affiliate may purchase the Collateral for a price equal to the
highest bid, but in no event may the Servicer sell any Collateral for less than the then fair market value of the Collateral. If no bids are received and the Servicer has used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such bids, the Servicer or an
Affiliate may purchase the Collateral for a price equal to the then fair market value of such Collateral. Any such sale of the Collateral is to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to the Indenture Trustee
setting forth the Loan, the Collateral, the sale price of the Collateral and certifying that such sale price is the fair market value of such Collateral. In any case in which any such Collateral has suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend
funds in connection with any repair or toward the repossession of such Collateral unless it reasonably determines that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The
Servicer will remit to the Collection Account the Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the sale or disposition of Collateral relating to a Defaulted Loan in accordance with Section 7.01. 
 Section 5.16 Maintenance of Insurance Policies 
 Other than with respect to Third Party Agented Loans: 
 (a) The Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts
to ensure that each Obligor maintains an Insurance Policy with respect to the related Collateral in an amount at least equal to the original Outstanding Loan Balance of the related Loan in the Loan Pool; provided that, the Servicer, in
accordance with its Credit and Collection Policy, may allow Obligors to self-insure. 
  

 - 90 - 








 (b) Additionally, the Servicer will require that each Obligor maintain property damage insurance during
the term of each Loan in the Loan Pool in amounts and against risks customarily insured against. If an Obligor fails to maintain property damage insurance, the Servicer may, but is under no obligation to, purchase and maintain such insurance on
behalf of, and at the expense of, the Obligor in accordance with the Servicer’s Credit and Collection Policy. In connection with its activities as Servicer of the Loans, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee, the Swap Counterparties and the Holders, claims to the insurer under each Insurance Policy, and to settle, adjust and compromise such claims, in each case, consistent with the terms of each Loan and the Servicer’s Credit and
Collection Policy. 
 Section 5.17 Other Servicer Covenants 
 The Servicer hereby covenants that: 
 (a)
Loan Files. The Servicer will, at its own cost and expense, maintain copies of all Loan Files in its possession in accordance with its customary procedures. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Servicer will not
dispose of any documents constituting the Loan Files in any manner that is inconsistent with the performance of its obligations as the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and will not dispose of any Loan except as contemplated by this Agreement.

 (b) Compliance with Law. The Servicer will comply, in all material respects, with all Requirements of Law applicable to the
Servicer or the Loans in the Loan Pool; provided that, the Servicer may contest any such Requirements of Law in any reasonable manner that will not materially and adversely affect the value of (or the rights of the Indenture Trustee, the
Holders or the Swap Counterparties with respect to) the Loan Assets. 
 (c) Obligations with Respect to Loans; Modifications. The
Servicer will duly fulfill and comply with, in all material respects, all obligations on the part of the Trust Depositor to be fulfilled or complied with under or in connection with each Loan in the Loan Pool and will do nothing to impair the rights
of the Indenture Trustee, the Holders or the Swap Counterparties in, to and under the Loan Assets. The Servicer will perform such obligations under the Loans in the Loan Pool and will not modify, waive or vary the Loans, except as otherwise
permitted hereby. The Servicer will include in each Monthly Report and each Quarterly Report a description of any modifications to any covenants with respect to Loans in the Loan Pool. 
 (d) No Bankruptcy Petition. Prior to the date that is one year and one day (or, if longer, the preference period then in effect plus one day)
after the payment in full of all amounts owing in respect of all outstanding Securities, the Servicer will not institute against the Trust Depositor, or the Issuer, or join any other Person in instituting against the Trust Depositor or the Issuer,
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States. This Section 5.17(d) will survive the termination of
this Agreement. 
  

 - 91 - 








 (e) Location of Loan Files. The Loan Files shall remain at all times in the possession of the
Indenture Trustee unless the Servicer requests that a Loan File be delivered to it in order to enforce the rights of the Issuer thereunder or for other purposes related to the servicing of the Loans, to the extent provided in
Section 5.08. 
 (f) Regulatory Filings. The Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Depositor, shall make any filings, reports,
notices, applications and registrations with, and seek any consents or authorizations from, the Commission and any state securities authority as may be necessary or that the Trust Depositor deems advisable to comply with any federal or state
securities or reporting requirements laws. 
 (g) Modification of Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer shall not amend or modify
its Credit and Collection Policy in a manner that would have a material adverse effect on the Holders or the Swap Counterparties. 
 (h)
Swap Covenants. So long as any of the Offered Notes are outstanding, with the exception of the initial Interest Accrual Period, the Issuer will maintain Swap Transactions so that the aggregate notional amount of all Swap Transactions for any
current or future calculation period thereunder will not be (x) less than the Outstanding Loan Balance of the Fixed Rate Loans for the corresponding Collection Period, plus, in the case of the current period, Principal Collections on Fixed Rate
Loans or (y) greater than the amount specified in clause (x) above by more than the Fixed Rate Permitted Excess Amount. 
 So long
as any of the Offered Notes are outstanding, with the exception of the initial Interest Accrual Period, if on any calculation date either: 
 (i) the then current aggregate notional amount of all Swap Transactions (x) is less than the then Outstanding Loan Balance of the Fixed Rate Loans plus Principal Collections on Fixed Rate Loans or (y) is
greater than the amount specified in clause (x) above by more than the Fixed Rate Permitted Excess Amount; or 
 (ii) the
aggregate notional amount for any future calculation period of all Swap Transactions (x) is less than the projected Outstanding Loan Balance of the Fixed Rate Loans for the corresponding Collection Period or (y) is greater than the amount
specified in clause (x) above by more than the Fixed Rate Permitted Excess Amount; 
 then, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
Determination Date preceding the next Payment Date, the Servicer will notify the Indenture Trustee, the Swap Counterparties and the Rating Agencies of such event and one or more of the Swap Transactions will be reduced or amended, or the Issuer will
enter into one or more additional Swap Transactions, as the case may be, so that, as applicable, the aggregate notional amount of the Swap Transactions will be equal to the Outstanding Loan Balance of the Fixed Rate Loans at the end of the
corresponding Collection Period or as projected to be outstanding at the end of the corresponding Collection Period, plus, in the case of the current period, Principal Collections on the Fixed Rate Loans. 
 So long as any of the Offered Notes are outstanding, if on any calculation date either: 
 (1) the then current aggregate notional amount of all Swap Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap transactions) exceeds the then
Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance; or 
  

 - 92 - 








 (2) the aggregate notional amount of all Swap Transactions (excluding any interest rate
cap transactions) for any future calculation period exceeds the projected Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance for the corresponding Interest Accrual Period; 
 (3) then, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Determination Date preceding the next Payment Date, the Servicer will
notify the Indenture Trustee, the Swap Counterparties and the Rating Agencies of such event, and one or more Swap Transactions will be reduced or amended so that the aggregate notional amount of the Swap Transactions will not exceed the Aggregate
Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes for the corresponding Interest Accrual Period. 
 Each Swap shall provide that if at any time the
Swap Counterparty, or, if the obligations of the Swap Counterparty are absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed (pursuant to a guaranty satisfying S&P’s published criteria relating to guarantees), the guarantor, no longer has a short-term
debt rating of at least “A-1” by S&P or a long-term senior unsecured debt rating of at least “A+” by S&P if such Person does not have a short-term rating by S&P, then the Swap Counterparty shall take one of the
following actions within 30 days following the date on which the Swap Counterparty or guarantor, as applicable, first failed to satisfy the foregoing ratings requirements: 
 (A) transfer all of its rights and obligations under the applicable Swap to a Substitute Swap Counterparty which is also a Qualified Swap
Counterparty; 
 (B) obtain an absolute and unconditional guaranty (satisfying S&P’s published criteria regarding
guarantees) from a Person which has a short-term debt rating of at least “A-1” by S&P or a long-term senior unsecured debt rating of at least “A+” by S&P if such Person does not have a short-term rating by S&P; or

 (C) enter into an ISDA Credit Support Annex and, pursuant to such ISDA Credit Support Annex, post collateral acceptable to
S&P; 
 provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, each Swap shall further provide that if at any time the Swap Counterparty, or, if the
obligations of the Swap Counterparty are absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed (pursuant to a guaranty satisfying S&P’s published criteria relating to guarantees), the guarantor, no longer has a long-term senior unsecured debt rating of
at least “BBB-” by S&P, then the Swap Counterparty shall, within 10 Business Days following the date on which the Swap Counterparty or guarantor, as applicable, first failed to satisfy the foregoing rating requirement, transfer all of
its rights and obligations under the applicable Swap to a Substitute Swap Counterparty which is also a Qualified Swap Counterparty. 
 (i)
Notice of Extension of Replenishment Period. Promptly following any extension of the Replenishment Period, the Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the Trustees, the Trust Depositor, the Rating Agencies and each Swap Counterparty at
the addresses described in Section 13.04 hereof. 
  

 - 93 - 








 Section 5.18 Servicing Compensation 
 As compensation for its servicing activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses as set forth in Section 5.19, the Servicer shall be
entitled to receive a quarterly servicing fee in respect of any Collection Period (or portion thereof) prior to the termination of the Issuer (with respect to each Collection Period, the “Servicing Fee”) equal to the product of
(a) the product of (i) 1% multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the related Collection Period and the denominator of which is 360; and (b) the Loan Pool Balance as of the beginning
of the related Collection Period. The Servicing Fee is payable out of Interest Collections and from amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund. 
 Section 5.19 Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer 
 The Servicer will be required to pay all expenses incurred
by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement, including fees and disbursements for the Independent Accountants, the Owner Trustee (including with respect to an administrator acting on behalf of the Owner Trustee and the Issuer), the
Indenture Trustee, taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with payments and reports pursuant to this Agreement, and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement to be for the account of the Issuer or
the Trust Depositor. The Servicer will be required to pay all reasonable fees and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses) owing to the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee in connection with the maintenance of the Trust
Accounts. The Servicer shall be required to pay such expenses for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment or reimbursement therefor other than (i) the Servicing Fee, and (ii) the reimbursement for Liquidation Expenses to
the extent gross recoveries with respect to a Loan are sufficient, after payment of all principal and finance charges due with respect to such Loan, to cover such expenses. 
 Section 5.20 Records 
 The
Servicer shall, during the period it is Servicer hereunder, maintain such books of account and other records as will enable the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee to determine the status of each Loan. 
 Section 5.21 Inspection 
 (a) At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall afford the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and their respective authorized agents reasonable access upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours to the
Servicer’s or any subservicer’s records relating to the Loans and the Servicer’s performance or observance of the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer and any subservicer will cause its personnel to assist in any examination of such
records by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, or such authorized agents, and allow copies of the same to be made. The examination referred to in this Section 5.21(a) will be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably
interfere with the Servicer’s or subservicer’s normal operations or customer or employee relations. Without otherwise limiting the scope of the examination, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee may, using generally accepted audit
procedures, verify the status of each Loan and review the Computer Records and 

  

 - 94 - 








 
other records relating thereto for conformity to Monthly Reports and Quarterly Reports prepared pursuant to Article IX and compliance with the
standards represented to exist as to each Loan in this Agreement. The right of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and their agents to conduct such inspections shall be limited to once per calendar year unless an Event of Default or Servicer
Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 (b) At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall keep available a copy of the List of
Loans at its principal executive office for inspection by the Indenture Trustee and Swap Counterparties. The Indenture Trustee may furnish a copy of the List of Loans to any Holder upon request. 
 (c) The Servicer shall, if given reasonable notice by the Indenture Trustee after the end of any Collection Period, provide the Indenture Trustee with a
copy of the Computer Record. 
 (d) For so long as any of the Notes are Outstanding and are “restricted securities” within the
meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, (1) the Servicer will provide or cause to be provided to any Holder of such Notes and any prospective purchaser thereof designated by such Holder, upon the request of such a Holder or
prospective purchaser, the information required to be provided to such Holder or prospective purchaser by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act; and (2) the Servicer shall update such information from time to time in order to prevent such
information from becoming false and misleading and will take such other actions as are necessary to ensure that the safe harbor exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Rule 144A is and will be available for resales
of such Notes conducted in accordance with Rule 144A.

 (c) After the Servicer’s and Backup Servicer’s receipt of an effective notice of termination terminating the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement, all authority, power, rights and responsibilities of the Servicer under this
Agreement, whether with respect to the Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer, and the Backup Servicer shall be deemed the successor Servicer, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.03, as long as the Backup Servicer is not prohibited by Requirements of Law from fulfilling the same, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel; provided that if Wells Fargo is the Backup Servicer at any time when the
Servicer’s authority, power, rights and responsibilities under this Agreement become vested in the Backup Servicer pursuant to this Section 5.22(c), Wells Fargo shall not be required to fulfill the Servicer’s obligations under
Section 9.05(b) hereof. 
 (d) Any Person (i) into which the Backup Servicer may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that
may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Backup Servicer shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Backup Servicer substantially 

  

 - 96 - 








 
as a whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Backup Servicer hereunder,
shall be the successor to the Backup Servicer under this Agreement without further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement. 
 (e) As compensation for its backup servicing activities hereunder, the Backup Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Backup Servicing Fee from the Servicer. The Backup Servicer’s entitlement to receive the Backup Servicing Fee
(other than due and unpaid Backup Servicing Fees owed through such date) shall cease on the earliest to occur of: (i) it becoming the Successor Servicer, (ii) its removal as Backup Servicer, or (iii) the termination of this Agreement.

 (f) The Backup Servicer undertakes to perform only such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, it being

 Eighth, to the Class D Noteholders, first, an amount equal to any Class D Interest Amount for the
related Interest Accrual Period and any unpaid Class D Interest Shortfall, and second, the Class D Accrued Payable, in each case to the extent not previously paid; 
 Ninth, to the Class D Noteholders, until the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class D Notes equals zero; 
 Tenth, to the Servicer, reimbursement for the amount of any Servicer Advances relating to principal (and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, interest) on the Loans, to the extent not previously
reimbursed; 
 Eleventh, to the Servicer, an amount equal to its accrued and unpaid quarterly Servicing Fee, to the extent not
previously paid; 
 Twelfth, pro rata, based on the amounts owed to such Persons under this clause
Twelfth, to the Swap Counterparties, any unpaid Swap Breakage Costs together with interest accrued thereon; 
  

 - 109 - 








 Thirteenth, pro rata, based on the amounts owed to such Persons under this clause
Thirteenth, to the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer and the Owner Trustee, to the extent not previously paid, amounts owed to such parties for fees and expenses and other amounts, including such amounts related to indemnification
and, to a Successor Servicer, any Additional Servicing Fee; 
 Fourteenth, to the extent not paid by the Originator, any
amounts due in respect of the listing of the Offered Notes on the Irish Stock Exchange; 
 Fifteenth, to the Holder of the
Class E Note until the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class E Note is reduced to zero; and 
 Sixteenth, to the Owner
Trustee for payment to the Certificateholder, any remaining amounts. 
 (d) If on any Payment Date, the aggregate amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account and the Reserve Fund are greater than or equal to the sum of (i) the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance, (ii) the interest accrued thereon, (iii) any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee, (iv) unreimbursed
Servicer Advances and (v) amounts owed to the Swap Counterparties, including Swap Breakage Costs, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer and the Owner Trustee, the amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund will be deposited in the Collection
Account and all such amounts on deposit shall be used to redeem the Notes in full. The redemption price will be equal to the unpaid principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption. It shall be a
condition precedent to such redemption that all Swap Transactions then outstanding under any Swaps then in effect shall be terminated and all amounts payable to the Swap Counterparties, including Swap Breakage Costs, upon such termination shall be
paid in full. 
 Section 7.06 Determination of LIBOR 
 (a) The Indenture Trustee will determine the interest rate for each Interest Accrual Period by determining the rate for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a
period of three months (the “Three-Month Index Maturity”) which appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is two London Banking Days preceding (i) in the case of the first Interest Accrual
Period, the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of each subsequent Interest Period, the first day of such Interest Accrual Period (“LIBOR”). If the Three-Month Index Maturity does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 at such
time, the rate for that Interest Accrual Period will be determined as if the parties had specified “USD-LIBOR-Reference Banks” as the applicable rate. “USD-LIBOR-Reference Banks” means that the interest rate for an
Interest Accrual Period will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. Dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is two London Banking Days preceding the beginning of
that Interest Accrual Period to prime banks in the London interbank market for the Three-Month Index Maturity commencing on the beginning of that Interest Accrual Period and in a Representative Amount. The Indenture Trustee will request the
principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that Interest Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two
quotations are provided as requested, 

  

 - 110 - 








 
the rate for that Interest Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the Indenture Trustee,
at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the beginning of that Interest Accrual Period for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for the Three-Month Index Maturity commencing at the beginning of that Interest Accrual Period and
in a Representative Amount. 
 (b) With respect to an Interest Accrual Period having a designated maturity other than three months, LIBOR
shall be determined through the use of a straight-line interpolation by reference to two rates calculated in accordance with Section 7.06(a), one of which shall be determined as if the maturity of the U.S. Dollar deposits referred
to therein were the period of time for which rates are available next shorter than such Interest Accrual Period, and the other of which shall be determined as if the maturity were the period of time for which rates are available next longer than
such Interest Accrual Period. 
 (c) The establishment of LIBOR by the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee’s subsequent
calculation of the rates of interest applicable to the Notes, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and binding. 
 ARTICLE VIII

 SERVICER DEFAULT; SERVICER TRANSFER 
 Section 8.01 Servicer Default 
 “Servicer Default” means the occurrence
of any of the following: 
 (a) any failure by the Servicer to make any payment, transfer or deposit, or to give any instructions, notice or
report to the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Agreement on or before the date occurring two Business Days after the date such payment, transfer or deposit, or such instruction, notice or report, is required to be made or
given, as the case may be, under the terms of this Agreement; 
 (b) any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform any
other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement that has a material adverse effect on the Noteholders or the Swap Counterparties, which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the first to occur of (i) the
date on which written notice of such failure requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee, or to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee by the Noteholders, or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of
such Noteholders aggregating not less than 25% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of any Class adversely affected thereby and (ii) the date on which the Servicer has actual knowledge thereof; 
 (c) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall
prove to have been incorrect when made, which has a material adverse effect on the Noteholders or the Swap Counterparties and which continues to be incorrect in any material respect for a period of 30 days after the first 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 and the Owner Trustee by the Indenture Trustee, or to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by 

  

 - 111 - 








 
Noteholders, or by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of Noteholders aggregating not less than 25% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of any Class adversely
affected thereby and (ii) the date on which the Servicer has actual knowledge thereof; 
 (d) an Insolvency Event shall occur with
respect to the Servicer; 
 (e) the Servicer shall fail in any material respect to service the Loans in accordance with the Credit and
Collection Policy; or 
 (f) the Servicer alters or amends the Credit and Collection Policy in a manner that has a material adverse effect on
the Noteholders or the Swap Counterparties. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to under
clause (a) above for a period of five Business Days or referred to under clause (b) or (c) for a period of 60 days (in addition to any period provided in clause (a), (b) or (c)) shall not
constitute a Servicer Default until the expiration of such additional five Business Days or 60 days, respectively, if such delay or failure could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Servicer and such delay or failure was
caused by an act of God or other events beyond the Servicer’s control. Upon the occurrence of any such event, the Servicer shall not be relieved from using its best efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and the Servicer shall provide the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Depositor and each Swap Counterparty prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts to so perform
its obligations. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Indenture Trustee, the Rating Agencies and each Swap Counterparty in writing of any Servicer Default. 
 Section 8.02 Servicer Transfer 
 (a) If a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing,
(x) the Required Holders, or (y) the Indenture Trustee, may, by written notice (a “Termination Notice”) delivered to the parties hereto and the Rating Agencies, terminate all (but not less than all) of the Servicer’s
management, administrative, servicing, custodial and collection functions. 
 (b) Upon delivery of the notice required by
Section 8.02(a) (or, if later, on a date designated therein), and on the date that a successor Servicer shall have been appointed pursuant to Section 8.03 (such appointment being herein called a “Servicer
Transfer”), all rights, benefits, fees, indemnities, authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Loans, the Loan Files or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in such successor (the
“Successor Servicer”) pursuant to and under this Section 8.02; and, without limitation, the Successor Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do any and all acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Successor Servicer in effecting the
termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be held by the Servicer for deposit,
or have been deposited by the Servicer, in the Collection Account, or for its own account in connection with its services 

  

 - 112 - 








 
hereafter or thereafter received with respect to the Loans. The Servicer shall transfer to the Successor Servicer (i) all records held by the Servicer
relating to the Loans in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and (ii) any Loan Files in the Servicer’s possession. In addition, the Servicer shall permit access to its premises (including all computer
records and programs) to the Successor Servicer or its designee, and shall pay the reasonable transition expenses of the Successor Servicer. Upon a Servicer Transfer, the Successor Servicer shall also be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee for
performing the obligations of the Servicer. 
 Section 8.03 Appointment of Successor Servicer; Reconveyance; Successor Servicer to
Act 
 (a) Upon delivery of the notice required by Section 8.02(a) (or, if later, on a date designated therein), the
Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Termination Notice or, if no such date is specified, until a date mutually agreed by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. The
Indenture Trustee shall as promptly as possible after the giving of or receipt of a Termination Notice, appoint a Successor Servicer (which shall be the Backup Servicer, in accordance with Section 5.22(c)), and such Successor Servicer
shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee and a copy of such written assumption shall be provided promptly to Moody’s. If within 60 days of delivery of a Termination
Notice the Backup Servicer does not accept appointment as the Successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee is unable to obtain any bids from eligible servicers and the Servicer shall have yet to cure the Servicer Default, then the Indenture Trustee
shall offer the Trust Depositor, and the Trust Depositor shall offer the Originator, the right to accept retransfer of all the Loan Assets, and such parties may accept retransfer of such Loan Assets in consideration of the Trust Depositor’s
delivery to the Collection Account on or prior to the next upcoming Payment Date of a sum equal to the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Securities (other than the Certificate) then outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon through such date of deposit and all other amounts due and owing to any Person under the Transaction Documents, including amounts owing to each Swap Counterparty, including Swap Breakage Costs, it being a condition precedent to such
retransfer that all Swap Transactions then outstanding under any Swaps then in effect shall be terminated and all amounts payable to the Swap Counterparties, including Swap Breakage Costs, upon such termination shall be paid in full; provided
that, the Indenture Trustee, if so directed by the Required Holders in writing, need not accept and effect such reconveyance in the absence of evidence (which may include valuations of an investment bank or similar entity) reasonably acceptable
to such Trustee or Required Holders that such retransfer would not constitute a fraudulent conveyance of the Trust Depositor or the Originator. 
 (b) In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and has not accepted its appointment at the time when the then Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, without further action, shall automatically be
appointed the Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indenture Trustee is legally unable or prohibited from so acting, it shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution having a
net worth of at least $200,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of loans similar to the Loans as the Successor Servicer hereunder. On or after a Servicer Transfer, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to
the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein 

  

 - 113 - 








 
and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and the
terminated Servicer shall be relieved of such responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising after such Servicer Transfer; provided that (i) the Successor Servicer will not assume any obligations of the Servicer described in
Section 8.02, (ii) the Successor Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the Servicer occurring prior to such Servicer Transfer or for any breach by the Servicer of any of its representations and warranties
contained herein or in any related document or agreement and (iii) the terminated Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omission of any Successor Servicer occurring on and after such Servicer Transfer or for any breach by any Successor
Servicer of any of its representations and warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. As compensation therefor, the Successor Servicer shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation equal to the quarterly Servicing
Fee. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount
necessary to induce any Successor Servicer to act as Successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein. The Owner Trustee, Holders and the Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. To the extent the terminated Servicer has made Servicer Advances, it shall be entitled to reimbursement of the same notwithstanding its termination hereunder,
in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the same extent as if it had continued to service the Loans hereunder. 
 Section 8.04 Notification to Holders and Swap Counterparties 
 (a) Promptly following the occurrence of any
Servicer Default, the Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the Trustees, the Trust Depositor and each Rating Agency at the addresses described in Section 13.04 hereof, to each Swap Counterparty at its address as set forth in the
applicable Swap, and to the Holders at their respective addresses appearing on the Note Register and the Certificate Register, respectively. 
 (b) Within ten days following any termination of a Servicer or appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indenture Trustee shall give written notice thereof to each Rating Agency and the Trust Depositor
at the addresses described in Section 13.04 hereof, to each Swap Counterparty at its address as set forth in the applicable Swap and to the Holders at their respective addresses appearing on the Note Register and the Certificate
Register, respectively. 
 Section 8.05 Effect of Transfer 
 (a) After a Servicer Transfer, the terminated Servicer shall have no further obligations with respect to the management, administration, servicing,
custody or collection of the Loans and the Successor Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 8.03 shall have all of such obligations, except that the terminated Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to the Successor
Servicer for its own account, promptly on receipt and in the same form in which received, any amounts (properly endorsed where required for the Successor Servicer to collect them) received as payments upon or otherwise in connection with the Loans.

  

 - 114 - 








 (b) A Servicer Transfer shall not affect the rights and duties of the parties hereunder (including but
not limited to the indemnities of the Servicer) other than those relating to the management, administration, servicing, custody or collection of the Loans. 
 Section 8.06 Database File 
 Upon reasonable request by the Indenture Trustee or the
Backup Servicer, the Servicer will provide the Successor Servicer with a magnetic tape containing the database file for each Loan (a) as of the applicable Cut-Off Date, (b) thereafter, as of the last day of the preceding Collection Period
and on the Determination Date prior to a Servicer Default and (c) on and as of the Business Day before the actual commencement of servicing functions by the Successor Servicer following the occurrence of a Servicer Default. 
 Section 8.07 Successor Servicer Indemnification 
 The original Servicer shall defend, indemnify and hold the Successor Servicer and any officers, directors, employees or agents of the Successor Servicer harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees, and expenses that the Successor Servicer may sustain in connection with the claims asserted at any time by third parties against the Successor Servicer which result from
(i) any willful or grossly negligent act taken or omission by the Servicer or (ii) a breach of any representations of the Servicer in Section 3.07 hereof. The indemnification provided by this Section 8.07 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the removal or resignation of the Successor Servicer. 
 Section 8.08
Responsibilities of the Successor Servicer 
 (a) The Successor Servicer will not be responsible for delays attributable to the
Servicer’s failure to deliver information, defects in the information supplied by the Servicer or other circumstances beyond the control of the Successor Servicer. 
 (b) The Successor Servicer will make arrangements with the Servicer for the prompt and safe transfer of, and the Servicer shall provide to the Successor Servicer, all necessary servicing files and records, including
(as deemed necessary by the Successor Servicer at such time): (i) microfiche loan documentation, (ii) servicing system tapes, (iii) Loan payment history, (iv) collections history and (v) the trial balances, as of the close
of business on the day immediately preceding conversion to the Successor Servicer, reflecting all applicable Loan information. The current Servicer shall be obligated to pay the costs associated with the transfer of the servicing files and records
to the Successor Servicer. 
 (c) The Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility and shall not be in default hereunder nor incur any
liability for any failure, error, malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of its duties under this Agreement if any such failure or delay results from the Successor Servicer acting in accordance with information prepared or supplied by a Person
other than the Successor Servicer or the failure of any such Person to prepare or provide such information. The Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility, shall not be in default and shall incur no liability (i) for any act or failure to
act by any third party, including the Servicer, the Trust Depositor or the Trustees or for any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication received by the 

  

 - 115 - 








 
Successor Servicer from any third party or (ii) which is due to or results from the invalidity, unenforceability of any Loan under Requirements of Law
or the breach or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made with respect to any Loan. 
 (d) If the Indenture Trustee or any other
Successor Servicer assumes the role of Successor Servicer hereunder, such Successor Servicer shall be entitled to the benefits of (and subject to the provisions of) Section 5.05 concerning delegation of duties to subservicers.

 Section 8.09 Rating Agency Condition for Servicer Transfer 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions relating to a Servicer Transfer, no Servicer Transfer shall be effective hereunder unless prior written notice
thereof shall have been given to the Rating Agencies, and the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect thereto.

 REMEDIES UPON MISREPRESENTATION; REPURCHASE OPTION 
 Section 11.01 Repurchases of, or Substitution for, Loans for Breach of Representations and Warranties 
 Upon a discovery by the Servicer, the Trust Depositor or the Trustees of a breach of a representation or warranty of the Originator and the Trust
Depositor as set forth in Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.03, Section 3.04, or Section 3.05, or as made or deemed made in any Addition Notice or any Subsequent Purchase Agreement
relating to Substitute Loans or Additional Loans, as applicable, that materially and adversely affects the interest of the Noteholders or any Swap Counterparty in a Loan (in either case without regard to the benefits of the Reserve Fund) (an
“Ineligible Loan”), the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties; provided that the Trustees shall have no duty or obligation to inquire or to investigate the breach by the Originator
of any of such representations or warranties. The Trust Depositor and the Originator shall repurchase each such Ineligible Loan at a repurchase price equal to the Transfer Deposit Amount, not later than the next succeeding Determination Date
following the date the Trust Depositor or the Originator becomes aware of, or receives written notice from any Trustee, the Servicer or the Trust Depositor of, any such 

  

 - 120 - 








 
breach or inaccuracy and which breach or inaccuracy has not otherwise been cured; provided that if the Trust Depositor and the Originator are able to
effect a substitution for any such Ineligible Loan in compliance with Section 2.04, the Trust Depositor and the Originator may, in lieu of repurchasing such Loan, effect a substitution for such affected Loan with a Substitute Loan not
later than the date a repurchase of such affected Loan would be required hereunder; and provided further that, with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty relating to the Loans in the aggregate and not to any particular Loan, the
Trust Depositor and the Originator may select Loans (without adverse selection) to repurchase (or substitute for) such that, had such Loans not been included as part of the Loan Assets (and, in the case of a substitution, had such Substitute Loan
been included as part of the Loan Assets instead of the selected Loan), there would have been no breach of such representation or warranty. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of the Trust Depositor and the
Originator described in this Section 11.01 shall not (a) terminate or be deemed released by any party hereto upon a Servicer Transfer pursuant to Article VIII or (b) include any obligation to make payment on account of a
breach of a Loan by an Obligor subsequent to the date on which such Loan was transferred to the Issuer. The repurchase obligation described in this Section 11.01 is in no way to be satisfied with monies in the Reserve Fund. 

Section 11.02 Reassignment of Repurchased or Substituted Loans 
 Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account of the amounts described in Section 2.04(a) or
Section 11.01 (or upon the Subsequent Transfer Date related to a Substitute Loan described in Section 2.04(a) or Section 11.0l), and upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit E, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer shall assign to the Trust Depositor, and the Trust Depositor shall assign to the Originator, all of the Issuer’s and the Indenture Trustee’s (or Trust
Depositor’s, as applicable) right, title and interest in the repurchased or substituted Loan and related Loan Assets without recourse, representation or warranty. Such reassigned Loan shall no longer thereafter be included in any calculations
of Outstanding Loan Balances required to be made hereunder or otherwise be deemed a part of the Loan Pool. 
 ARTICLE XII

Certificateholder harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other reasonable costs, fees and expenses that such Person may sustain as a result of
the material failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent arising from (a) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud by the Person claiming
indemnification or (b) an Obligor’s financial difficulty. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Indenture Trustee and 

  

 - 121 - 








 
the Owner Trustee if a claim is made by any party with respect to this Agreement, and the Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the indemnified party)
the defense and any settlement of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the indemnified party in
respect of such claim. The Servicer shall have no liability hereunder for any act or failure to act by the party responsible for the servicing of any Third Party Agented Loan. 
 Section 12.02 Indemnification by Trust Depositor 
 (a) The Trust Depositor agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold the Indenture Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity), the Owner Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity), the Backup Servicer (as such
and in its individual capacity), each Swap Counterparty (as such and in its individual capacity) and each Noteholder and the Certificateholder harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees
and related costs, judgments, and any other reasonable costs, fees and expenses that such Person may sustain as a result of the material failure of the Trust Depositor to perform its duties in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and in the
best interests of the Holders and the Swap Counterparties, except to the extent arising from (i) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud by the Person claiming indemnification or (ii) an Obligor’s financial difficulty. The
Trust Depositor shall immediately notify the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement, and the Trust Depositor shall assume (with the consent of the indemnified party) the defense and
any settlement of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the indemnified party in respect of such
claim. 
 (b) The Trust Depositor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee (as such and in its individual
capacity), the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer from and against any taxes and penalties that may at any time be asserted against any such Person with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and in the other Transaction Documents,
including any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property, Maryland personal property replacement privilege or license taxes (but, in the case of the Issuer, not including any taxes asserted with respect to, and as of the
date of, the sale of the Loans to the Issuer or the issuance and original sale of the Securities, or asserted with respect to ownership of the Loans, or federal or other income taxes arising out of distributions on the Certificate or the Notes) and
costs and expenses in defending against the same. 
 (c) The Trust Depositor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity), and the Indenture Trustee, their officers, directors, agents and employees, from and against all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out of or incurred in connection with
the acceptance or performance of the trusts and duties herein and, in the case of the Owner Trustee, in the Trust Agreement and, in the case of the Indenture Trustee, in the Indenture, and any other document or transaction contemplated in connection
herewith or therewith, except to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability in the case of (i) the Owner Trustee, shall be due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of the Owner Trustee, or shall
arise from the breach 

  

 - 122 - 








 
by the Owner Trustee of any of its representations or warranties set forth in Section 7.03 of the Trust Agreement, or (ii) the Indenture Trustee,
shall be due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Indenture Trustee. 
 (d) The Trust Depositor shall be liable
directly to and will indemnify any injured party or any other creditor of the Issuer for all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses of the Issuer to the extent that the Trust Depositor would be liable if the Issuer were a partnership
under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act in which the Trust Depositor were a general partner; provided that the Trust Depositor shall not be liable for any losses incurred by a Certificateholder in the capacity of an
investor in the Certificate or a Holder in the capacity of an investor in the Notes. In addition, any third party creditors of the Issuer (other than in connection with the obligations described in the immediately preceding sentence for which the
Trust Depositor shall not be liable) shall be deemed third party beneficiaries of this paragraph. The Certificate described in the Trust Agreement shall evidence the obligations of the Trust Depositor under this paragraph. 
 (e) The Originator and the Trust Depositor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Owner Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity) and the
Indenture Trustee, their officers, directors, agents and employees, from and against any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the Originator’s, the Trust Depositor’s or the Issuer’s violation of federal or state securities
laws in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes. 
 Section 12.03 Liabilities to Obligors 
 No obligation or liability to any Obligor under any of the Loans is intended to be assumed by the Trustees, the Issuer, the Holders or the Swap
Counterparties under or as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 Section 12.04 Tax
Indemnification 
 (a) The Originator agrees to pay, and to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trust Depositor, the Issuer, the
Trustees (as such and in their individual capacities), the Backup Servicer, the Holders and the Swap Counterparties from, any taxes that may at any time be asserted with respect to, and as of the date of, the transfer of the Loans to the Trust
Depositor, the transfer by the Trust Depositor of the Loans to the Issuer and the further pledge by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee, including, without limitation, any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, personal property, privilege or
license taxes (but not including any federal, state or other taxes arising out of the creation of the Issuer and the issuance of the Notes and Certificate), and costs, expenses and reasonable counsel fees in defending against the same, whether
arising by reason of the acts to be performed by the Originator or the Servicer under this Agreement or imposed against the Issuer, the Trustees, the Backup Servicer, a Noteholder, a Certificateholder, a Swap Counterparty or otherwise.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of the Originator under this Section 12.04 shall not terminate upon a Servicer Transfer pursuant to Article VIII of this Agreement and shall survive any
termination of this Agreement. 
 (b) The Originator agrees to pay and to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Trustees (as
such and in their individual capacities) and the Swap Counterparties, on 

  

 - 123 - 








 
an after-tax basis (as hereinafter defined), from any state or local personal property taxes, gross rent taxes, leasehold taxes or similar taxes that may at
any time be asserted with respect to the ownership of the Loans (including security interests therein) and the receipt of rentals therefrom by the Issuer, and costs, expenses and reasonable counsel fees in defending against the same, excluding,
however, taxes based upon or measured by gross or net income or receipts (other than taxes imposed specifically with respect to rentals). As used in this Section, the term “after-tax basis” shall mean, with respect to any payment to be
received by an indemnified Person, that the amount to be paid by the Originator shall be equal to the sum of (i) the amount to be received without regard to this sentence, plus (ii) any additional amount that may be required so
that, after reduction by all taxes imposed under any federal, state and local law, and taking into account any current credits or deductions arising therefrom, resulting either from the receipt of the payments described in both clauses
(i) and (ii) hereof, such sum shall be equal to the amount described in clause (i) above. 
 Section 12.05 Adjustments 
 (a) The Originator agrees that, with respect to each Loan that provides for a
prepayment amount less than the amount calculated in accordance with the definition of “Prepayment Amount”, the Originator shall indemnify the Trust Depositor or the Issuer as assignee thereof in an amount at least equal to the
excess of the Prepayment Amount as calculated in accordance with the definition thereof over the amount otherwise payable upon prepayment of such Loan. 
 (b) The Originator hereby further agrees that if any real property collateral securing any Loan described in Section 3.02(c) hereof becomes the subject of any claims, proceedings, Liens or encumbrances
with respect to any material violation or claimed material violation of any federal or state environmental laws or regulations, such Loan shall for all purposes hereunder be, at and following the time of discovery by the Originator, the Trust
Depositor, the Servicer or any Trustee (it being understood and agreed that such Trustee is under no duty of investigation) of such fact, deemed an Ineligible Loan subject to the same remedial and recourse provisions hereunder as other Loans
determined to be Ineligible Loans hereunder. 
 Section 12.06 Operation of Indemnities 
 Indemnification under this Article XII shall include, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If
the Servicer, Trust Depositor or Originator has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Article XII and the indemnified party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the indemnified party will repay such amounts collected to
the Servicer, the Originator or the Trust Depositor, as applicable, except that any payments received by the indemnified parties from an insurance provider as a result of the events under which the Servicer’s, the Originator’s or the Trust
Depositor’s, as applicable, indemnity payments arose shall be repaid prior to any repayment of the Servicer’s, the Originator’s or the Trust Depositor’s, as applicable, indemnity payment.

Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to each Certificateholder and Noteholder, respectively. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders
or the Swap Counterparties pursuant to Section 13.01(b) to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such
consents and of evidencing the authorization by the Holders and the Swap Counterparties of the execution thereof shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee may prescribe. 
 (e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively

Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the Certificate represents a beneficial interest in the Issuer and Loan Assets only and the Securities do not represent an interest in any assets (other than the Loan Assets) of the Trust Depositor (including by
virtue of any deficiency claim in respect of obligations not paid or otherwise satisfied from the Loan Assets and proceeds thereof). In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, to the extent that the Trust Depositor enters into other
securitization transactions as contemplated in Section 6.07, the Issuer acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right, title or interest in or to any assets (or interests therein), other than the Loan Assets, conveyed or purported
to be conveyed (whether by way of a sale, capital contribution or by the granting of a Lien) by the Trust Depositor to any Person other than the Issuer (the “Other Assets”). 
  

 - 131 - 








 (c) To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements contained in this Section 13.09, the
Issuer, any Holder or any Swap Counterparty, either (i) asserts an interest in or claim to, or benefit from any Other Assets, whether asserted against or through the Trust Depositor or any other Person owned by the Trust Depositor, or
(ii) is deemed to have any interest, claim or benefit in or from any Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process or pursuant to applicable provisions of Insolvency Laws or otherwise (including without limitation pursuant to
Section 1111(b) of the federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended), and whether deemed asserted against or through the Trust Depositor or any other Person owned by the Trust Depositor, then the Issuer, each Holder by accepting a Note or Certificate
and each Swap Counterparty further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from the Other Assets is and shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and liabilities of the
Trust Depositor that, under the terms of the documents relating to the securitization of the Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or
security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distribution under Requirements of Law, including Insolvency Laws, and whether asserted against the Trust Depositor or any other Person owned by the Trust Depositor),
including, without limitation, the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Each of the Issuer, the Holders and the Swap Counterparties is deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 13.09 and that the terms and provisions of this
Section 13.09 may be enforced by an action for specific performance. 
 (d) The provisions of this Section 13.09
shall be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 13.10 Jurisdiction 
 Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the
courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto consents, for itself and in respect of its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. Each such
party irrevocably waives any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any action or proceeding in such jurisdiction in respect of

 Section 13.11 Tax Characterization

that is a member of the International Federation of Stock Exchanges and is organized or incorporated in a state that is a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to

 ANNEX A 
 Diversity Score Calculation 
 The Diversity Score for the Loans is calculated by summing each
of the Industry Diversity Scores, which are calculated as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	An “Obligor Par Amount” is calculated for each Obligor represented in the Loan Pool by summing the Outstanding Loan Balance of each Loan in the Loan Pool of that
Obligor or any Affiliate of that Obligor. 

  

	 	(ii)	An “Average Par Amount” is calculated by summing the Obligor Par Amounts and dividing by the number of Obligors represented. For purposes of calculating the number
of Obligors, any Obligors which are Affiliates will be considered one Obligor. 

  

	 	(iii)	An “Equivalent Unit Score” is calculated for each Obligor represented in the Loan Pool by taking the lesser of (a) one and (b) the Obligor Par Amount for
such Obligor divided by the Average Par Amount. For purposes of calculating the Equivalent Unit Score, any Obligors which are Affiliates will be considered one Obligor. 

  

	 	(iv)	An “Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score” is then calculated for each of the Moody’s industrial classification groups by summing the Equivalent Unit Scores
for each Obligor in the industry. 

  

	 	(v)	An “Industry Diversity Score” is then established by reference to the Diversity Score Table shown below for the related Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score. If
any Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score falls between any two scores then the applicable Industry Diversity Score will be the lower of the two Industry Diversity Scores. 

  

	 	(vi)	Defaulted Loans shall be excluded from the calculation of the Diversity Score.

the ordinary course of business, or in the ability of the Trust Depositor to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement or under the Transaction Documents or in the characteristics of the Loans. 
 17. Nothing has come to the attention of the Trust Depositor that would lead it to believe that (i) the Time of Sale Information (as defined in the
