proposed Funding Date; provided that no more than four Class A Advances shall be made in any one
calendar month without the Administrative Agent’s prior consent. Each Borrowing Notice (along with
a Borrowing Base Certificate) shall (i) specify the desired amount of such Class A Advance (which
amount must be at least equal to $250,000), (ii) specify the date of such Advance, (iii) specify
the Assets to be financed on such Funding Date (including the appropriate file number and
Outstanding Asset Balance for each Asset, and identifying each Loan by type and whether such Loan

Participation Loan) and (iv) include a representation that all conditions precedent for an Advance
described in Article III hereof have been met. Each Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable.



     Each Issuer shall promptly thereafter notify the Administrative Agent whether such Issuer has
determined to make the requested Class A Advance on the terms specified by the Seller, and the
Issuers shall notify the Administrative Agent of the funding allocation as between them (if other
than proportional to their Issuer Purchase Limits). The Administrative Agent shall promptly
thereafter notify the Seller whether the Issuers have determined to make the requested purchase
and, if so, whether all of the terms specified by the Seller are acceptable to the Issuers. If the
Issuers have determined not to make the entire amount of a Class A Advance requested to be made,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly send notice of the proposed Class A Advance to all of the
Liquidity Banks concurrently specifying the date of such Class A Advance, the aggregate amount of
such Class A Advance to be funded by the Liquidity Banks (which amount shall be equal to the
portion of the Class A Advance not funded by the Issuers), and each such Liquidity Bank’s portion
thereof (determined ratably in accordance with its respective Class A Commitment).



     (b) On the date of each Advance, the applicable Purchasers shall upon satisfaction of the
applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make available to the Seller in same day
funds, at such bank or other location reasonably designated by Seller in its Borrowing Notice given
pursuant to this Section 2.3, an aggregate amount equal to: the least of (i) the amount
requested by the Seller for such Class A Advance, (ii) an amount equal to the Class A Availability
on such Funding Date or (iii) the Facility Amount.



     (c) Effective on the date of each Advance pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Seller
hereby sells and assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers making such
Advance, all Assets listed on the attachment to the Borrowing Notice delivered in connection with
such Advance, and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto.

     (d) On each Funding Date, the obligation of each Liquidity Bank to remit its pro rata share of
each Class A Advance shall be several from that of each other Liquidity Bank and the failure of any
Liquidity Bank to so make such amount available to the Seller shall not relieve any other Liquidity
Bank of its obligation hereunder. No Liquidity Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Liquidity Bank to make funds available in connection with any Class A Advance.



     (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Additional Asset may not be included in the Assets being
financed unless (x) if all Pool Concentration Criteria were satisfied immediately prior to giving
effect to such inclusion, all Pool Concentration Criteria continue to be satisfied after giving
effect to the inclusion of such Additional Asset or (y) if any Pool Concentration Criteria was not
satisfied immediately prior to giving effect to such inclusion, the degree of non-satisfaction of
each Pool Concentration Criteria will be maintained or improved after giving effect to the
inclusion of such Additional Asset.



     (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no Construction Loan may become an Additional Asset, if
after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Asset Balance of all Construction Loans that are
included in the Collateral (expressed as a percentage of Aggregate Outstanding Asset Balance) would
exceed the Outstanding Asset Balance (as of the initial Funding Date) of all Construction Loans
included in the Collateral on the initial Funding Date (expressed as a percentage of Aggregate
Outstanding Asset Balance as of the initial Funding Date), and (y) no Loan due from the Obligor of
an Excess Concentration Loan may become an Additional Asset.



     Section 2.4 Reduction of the Facility Amount; Mandatory and Optional Repayments;
Increase of Commitment.



     (a) The Seller may, upon at least 10 days’ prior written notice (such notice to be received by
the Administrative Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City, New York time) on such day) to the
Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the portion of the Facility Amount that
exceeds the sum of the Advances Outstanding, accrued Interest, Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage
Costs; provided that each partial reduction of the Facility Amount shall be in an aggregate amount
equal to at least $1,000,000. Each notice of reduction or termination pursuant to this Section
2.4(a) shall be irrevocable.



     (b) The Seller may, upon two Business Days’ prior written notice (such notice to be received
by the Administrative Agent and each Hedge Counterparty no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City, New
York time) on such day) to the Administrative Agent, reduce the Advances Outstanding by remitting,
to the Administrative Agent, for payment to the applicable Purchasers, (i) cash and (ii)
instructions to reduce such Advances Outstanding, related accrued Interest, Breakage Costs and
Hedge Breakage Costs; provided that no such reduction shall be given effect unless the Seller has
complied with the terms of any Hedging Agreement requiring that one or more Hedge Transactions be
terminated in whole or in part as the result of any such reduction of the Advances Outstanding, and
Seller has paid all Hedge Breakage Costs and any payments owing to the relevant Hedge Counterparty
for any such termination. Any reduction of the Advances Outstanding shall be in a minimum amount
of $250,000. Any such reduction will occur only if sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all
such amounts in the succeeding sentence in full. Upon receipt of such amounts, the Administrative
Agent shall apply such amounts first to the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding
by paying such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, second to the payment of related
accrued Interest on the amount of the Advances Outstanding to be repaid by paying such amounts to
the applicable Purchasers, and third to the payment of any Breakage Costs and Hedge
Breakage Costs and any other payments owing to the applicable Hedge Counterparty in respect of the
termination of any Hedge Transaction; provided, however, if such amounts are received during the
Amortization Period or the Turbo Period, such amounts shall be applied in the order of priority set
forth



54









 







in Section 2.10. Any notice relating to any prepayment pursuant to this Section
2.4(b) shall be irrevocable.



     (c) If on any day (i) the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, does not own
or have a valid and perfected first priority security interest in any of the Collateral or (ii) any
Asset which has been represented by the Seller to be an Eligible Asset is later determined not to
have been an Eligible Asset as of the related Cut-Off Date, upon the earlier of the Seller’s
receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent or the Seller becoming aware thereof and the
Seller’s failure to cure such breach within 30 days, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on
such day a collection (a “Deemed Collection”) of such Asset in full and shall on such day pay to
the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers and each Hedge Counterparty, an amount equal
to (x) the Outstanding Asset Balance of the Asset (calculated without regard to the first two
provisos contained in the definition of “Outstanding Asset Balance”) to be applied towards the
reduction of the principal of the Class A VFCs until paid in full, plus (y) any Breakage Costs and
Hedge Breakage Costs and any other payments owing to the applicable Hedge Counterparty in respect
of the termination of any Hedge Transaction required as a result of the Deemed Collection and
retransfer of the related Asset contemplated by this Section 2.4(c). In connection with
any such Deemed Collection, the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, shall
automatically and without further action, be deemed to transfer to the Seller (or any Affiliate of
the Seller designated by the Seller), free and clear of any Lien created by the Administrative
Agent, all of the right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured
Parties, in, to, and under the Asset with respect to which the Administrative Agent has received
such Deemed Collection, but without any other representation and warranty of any kind, express or
implied.



     (d) At any time prior to the Termination Date (the Seller acknowledging that the Termination
Date has occurred), the Seller may, upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to
the Administrative Agent, request that the aggregate Class A Commitments be increased in increments
of $125,000,000 up to a maximum incremental amount of $250,000,000, with a commensurate increase in
the Class A Commitment of each Liquidity Bank, any such increase to be subject to the written
consent of the Administrative Agent and each Liquidity Bank.



     Section 2.5 Determination of Interest.



     To the extent any Purchaser’s Class A Interest Rate is determined by reference to the CP Rate,
the Administrative Agent shall determine such Purchaser’s CP Rate and the Interest (including
unpaid Interest, if any, due and payable on a prior Payment Date) to be paid by the Seller with
respect to each Advance, as applicable, on each Payment Date for the related Accrual Period and
shall advise the Servicer thereof on or before the third Business Day prior to such Payment Date.



     Section 2.6 Percentage Evidenced by each VFC.



     The variable percentage ownership interest in the Collateral represented by each VFC shall be
initially computed on its date of purchase as set forth in Section 2.1(a). Thereafter,
until the Termination Date, each VFC shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed)
on each day prior to the Termination Date as set forth in Section 2.1(a). The variable
percentage ownership interest in the Collateral represented by each VFC as computed (or deemed to
be recomputed) as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Termination Date
shall remain constant at all times on and after the Termination Date. The variable percentage
ownership interest in the Collateral represented by each VFC shall become zero when its Advances
and Interest have been indefeasibly paid in full.



55









 





     Section 2.7 Notations on VFCs.



     The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to enter on a schedule attached to the VFC a
notation (which may be computer generated) with respect to each Advance under a VFC made by the
applicable Purchaser of: (a) the date and principal amount thereof, and (b) each repayment of
principal thereof, and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy
of the information so recorded. The failure of the Administrative Agent to make any such notation
on the schedule attached to the VFC shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the
Seller to repay the Advances in accordance with their respective terms as set forth herein.



     Section 2.8 Settlement Procedures for Special Reduction Amounts and Optional Sales.



     On the Optional Sale Date (with respect to Optional Sales) and on or prior to the Special
Reduction Amount Date (with respect to Special Reduction Amounts), the Seller shall remit to the
Administrative Agent the Optional Sale Proceeds or Special Reduction Amount, as applicable, for
payment to reduce Advances Outstanding, related accrued Interest, Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage
Costs. Upon receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts first to
the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding by paying such amounts to the applicable
Purchasers, second to the payment of related accrued Interest on the amount of the Advances
Outstanding to be repaid by paying such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, third to the payment
of any Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs and any other payments owing to the applicable Hedge
Counterparty in respect of the termination of any Hedge Transaction, and fourth, amounts remaining
if any, shall be deposited in the Collection Account for distribution pursuant to Section
2.9 or Section 2.10, as applicable (the parties hereto acknowledging that the Turbo
Period has commenced on the Turbo Effective Date).

     Section 2.11 Collections and Allocations.



     (a) Collections. The Servicer shall promptly identify any collections received as

transfer, or cause to be transferred, all Collections received directly by it or on deposit in the
form of available funds in the Lock-Box Accounts to the Collection Account by the close of business
on the second Business Day after such Collections are received. In transferring Collections to the
Collection Account, the Servicer shall segregate Principal Collections and transfer the same to the
corresponding Principal Collections Account. The Servicer (or, at any time that the Collection
Account is held at Citibank, N.A., the Administrative



58









 







Agent at the direction of the Servicer) shall make such deposits or payments on the date
indicated therein by wire transfer, in immediately available funds. The Servicer shall further
include a statement as to the amount of Principal Collections and Interest Collections on deposit
in the Collection Account on each Reporting Date in the Monthly Report delivered pursuant to
Section 6.10(b).



     (b) Initial Deposits. On the initial Funding Date and on each Addition Date
thereafter, the Servicer will deposit (in immediately available funds) into the Collection Account
all Collections received after the applicable Cut-Off Date and through and including the initial
Funding Date or Addition Date, as the case may be, in respect of Eligible Assets being transferred
to and included as part of the Collateral on such date.



     (c) Excluded Amounts. With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (a copy of which will be provided by the Servicer
to the Backup Servicer), the Servicer may withdraw from the Collection Account any deposits thereto
constituting Excluded Amounts if the Servicer has, prior to such withdrawal and consent, delivered
to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in a
format satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.



     (d) Investment of Funds. Until the occurrence of a Termination Event, to the extent
there are uninvested amounts deposited in the Collection Account, all amounts shall be invested in
Permitted Investments selected by the Servicer that mature no later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the next Payment Date; from and after the occurrence of a Termination Event,
to the extent there are uninvested amounts in the Collection Account (net of losses and investment
expenses), all amounts may be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Administrative
Agent that mature no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date. All
earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) thereon shall be retained or deposited into the
Collection Account, and shall be applied pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.9 and
Section 2.10, as applicable (the parties hereto acknowledging that the Turbo Period has
commenced on the Turbo Effective Date).



     Section 2.12 Payments, Computations, Etc.



     (a) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid or deposited by the

later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City, New York time) on the day when due in lawful money of the
United States in immediately available funds to the Agent’s Account and if not received before such
time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Seller shall, to the extent permitted
by law, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder
at 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand; provided that such interest rate shall
not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. Such interest shall be for
the account of, and distributed to, each applicable Purchaser. All computations of interest and
all computations of Interest and other fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year
consisting of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last
day) elapsed.



     (b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business
Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time
shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of Interest or any fee payable
hereunder, as the case may be. For avoidance of doubt, to the extent that Available Funds are
insufficient on any Payment Date to satisfy the full amount of any Increased Costs pursuant to
Section 2.9(a)(11) or Section 2.10(a)(11), as applicable (the parties hereto
acknowledging that the Turbo Period has commenced on the Turbo Effective Date), such unpaid amounts
shall remain due and owing and shall accrue Interest until repaid in full.



59









 





     (c) If any Advance requested by the Seller and approved by the Purchasers and the
Administrative Agent, pursuant to Section 2.3 is not, for any reason made or effectuated,
as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Seller shall indemnify the applicable
Purchasers against any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by the applicable Purchasers
including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits, net of anticipated
profits in the reemployment of such funds in the manner determined by each applicable Purchaser),
cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by the applicable Purchaser to fund or maintain such Advance.

     On the first Payment Date following the Termination Date when the Borrowing Base is less than
15% of the Borrowing Base as of the Termination Date, the Seller shall notify the Administrative
Agent in writing of its intention to purchase all remaining Collateral. On the Payment Date next
succeeding any such notice, the Seller shall (i) terminate all Hedge Transactions in accordance
with their terms and (ii) purchase all remaining Collateral for a price equal to the Aggregate
Unpaids and the proceeds of such purchase will be deposited into the Collection Account and paid in
accordance with Section 2.10.



     Section 2.14 Fees.



     (a) The Servicer on behalf of the Seller shall pay in accordance with
Section 2.9(a)(5) and Section 2.10(a)(5), as applicable (the parties hereto

Administrative Agent from the Collection Account to the extent funds are available on each Payment
Date, monthly in arrears, the applicable Program Fee, Structuring and Agency Fee and Commitment Fee

which fee shall be equal to the sum of (a) the product of (i) the Servicing Fee Rate applicable to
Eligible Assets which are not Workout Assets, (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Asset Balance
(excluding Workout Assets), as of the first day of the immediately preceding Collection Period and
(iii) the actual number of days in such Collection Period divided by 360, and (b) the product of
(i) the Servicing Fee Rate applicable to Workout Assets, (ii) the sum of the Outstanding Asset
Balances of all Workout Assets, as of the first day of the immediately preceding Collection Period
and (iii) the actual number of days in such Collection Period divided by 360.

     Section 2.15 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.



     (a) If either (i) the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change
by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation or (ii) the compliance by an Affected Party with any guideline or request from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (a)
subject an Affected Party to any Tax (except for Taxes on the overall net income of such Affected
Party), duty or other charge with respect to any ownership interest in the Collateral, or any right
to make Advances hereunder, or on any payment made hereunder, (b) impose, modify or deem applicable
any reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement imposed by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve requirement, if any,
included in the determination of Interest), special deposit or similar requirement against assets
of, deposits with or for the amount of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party or (c) impose any
other condition affecting the ownership interest in the Collateral conveyed to the Purchasers
hereunder or the Purchasers’ rights or obligations hereunder (including, without limitation,
conditions relating to agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Advances at the Adjusted
Eurodollar Rate), the result of which is to increase the cost to any Affected Party or to reduce
the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement, then within
ten days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement
setting forth the basis for such demand), the Servicer shall pay (and to the extent the Servicer
does not make such payment the Seller shall pay) directly to such Affected Party such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost
incurred or such reduction suffered.



     (b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law,
guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any
law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other governmental
authority or agency (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation,
compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that
which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance
(taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by
an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, within ten days
after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth
the basis for such demand), the Servicer shall pay (and to the extent the Servicer does not make
such payment the Seller shall pay) directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction.



     (c) If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clause
(a) or (b) of this Section 2.15, any Affected Party is required to compensate a
bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other
similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or
maintenance of Advances hereunder, then within ten days after demand by such Affected Party, the
Servicer shall pay (or to the extent the Servicer does not make such payment the Seller shall pay)
to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such
Affected Party for any amounts payable or paid by it.



     (d) In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.15, the Affected Party
may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under
this Section 2.15 shall submit to the Servicer a written description as to such additional
or increased cost or reduction and the calculation thereof, which written description shall be
conclusive absent demonstrable error.



61









 





     (e) If any Purchaser shall notify the Administrative Agent that a Eurodollar Disruption Event
as described in clause (a) of the definition of “Eurodollar Disruption Event” has occurred,
the Administrative Agent shall in turn so notify the Seller, whereupon all Advances Outstanding of
the affected Purchaser in respect of which Interest accrues at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall
immediately be converted into Advances Outstanding in respect of which Interest accrues at the Base
Rate.



     (f) For avoidance of doubt, if the issuance of Interpretation No. 46 by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board or any other change in accounting standards or the issuance of any other
pronouncement, release or interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion
of the assets and liabilities of the Originator or Seller with the assets and liabilities of the
Administrative Agent, any Purchaser or any Liquidity Bank (a “Consolidation Event”), such event
shall constitute a circumstance on which such Affected Party may base a claim for reimbursement
under this Section 2.15. In addition, if a Consolidation Event shall occur, each of the
Administrative Agent, Purchasers, Originator, Servicer and Seller agrees to work in good faith to
(i) obtain a rating for the Advances acceptable to the Administrative Agent, or (ii) seek an
alternative term financing and facilitate the transfer or assignment by the Purchasers of the
Advances and Assets in connection with such alternative term financing.



     Section 2.16 Taxes.



     (a) All payments made by an Obligor in respect of an Asset and all payments made by the Seller
or the Servicer under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction or
withholding for or on account of any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any
amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, any Affected Party or any Secured Party, then the
amount payable to such Person will be increased (such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that
every net payment made under this Agreement after withholding for or on account of any Taxes
(including, without limitation, any Taxes on such increase) is not less than the amount that would
have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been deducted or withheld. The foregoing
obligation to pay Additional Amounts, however, will not apply with respect to net income or
franchise taxes imposed on the Purchasers, any Affected Party or the Administrative Agent,
respectively, with respect to payments required to be made by the Seller or Servicer under this
Agreement, by a taxing jurisdiction in which the Purchasers, any Affected Party or the
Administrative Agent, are organized, conducts business or is paying taxes (as the case may be).



     (b) The Servicer will indemnify (and to the extent the indemnification provided by the
Servicer is insufficient the Seller will indemnify) each Affected Party for the full amount of
Taxes payable by such Person in respect of Additional Amounts and any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. All payments in
respect of this indemnification shall be made within ten days from the date a written invoice
therefor is delivered to the Seller.



     (c) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Seller and the Servicer of any Taxes,
the Seller and the Servicer will furnish to the Administrative Agent at its address set forth under
its name on the signature pages hereof, appropriate evidence of payment thereof.



     (d) If a Purchaser is not created or organized under the laws of the United States or a
political subdivision thereof, such Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller, with a copy to the
Administrative Agent, (i) within 15 days after the Closing Date, two (or such other number as may
from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or
Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms or other certificates or statements that may be required from
time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities or Applicable Laws), as appropriate,
to permit the Seller to make payments hereunder for the account of such Purchaser without deduction
or withholding of United States federal



62









 







income or similar Taxes and (ii) upon the obsolescence of or after the occurrence of any event
requiring a change in, any form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to this Section
2.16(d), copies (in such numbers as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws or
regulations) of such additional, amended or successor forms, certificates or statements as may be
required under Applicable Laws or regulations to permit the Seller and the Servicer to make
payments hereunder for the account of such Purchaser without deduction or withholding of United
States federal income or similar Taxes.



     (e) If, in connection with an agreement or other document providing liquidity support, credit
enhancement or other similar support to the Purchasers in connection with this Agreement or the
funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, the Purchasers are required to compensate a bank or
other financial institution in respect of Taxes under circumstances similar to those described in
this Section 2.16, then, within ten days after demand by the Purchasers, the Servicer shall
pay (or to the extent the Servicer does not make such payment the Seller shall pay) to the

     Section 2.22 Appointment of the Placement Agent.



     The Seller and the Servicer each hereby appoints the Administrative Agent (in such capacity,

manager on any term takeout of Loans financed pursuant to this Agreement (a “Refinancing”), whether
through the asset-backed securities market, in connection with Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan
Facility program provided by The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “TALF Program”), or
otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller and Servicer hereby acknowledge that the
appointment of the Placement Agent is a separate engagement from the “Liquidity Bank” role and
arrangement provided by Citibank, N.A. or any of its affiliates and such appointment has been
directed by the Seller in its sole discretion. In connection with such Refinancing, the Placement
Agent shall, in its reasonable judgment and in consultation with the Seller, determine the timing,
terms and Assets to be included in any such Refinancing; including any determination that the entry
into such Refinancing would achieve extended terms and a lower cost of funds with respect to
financing of the subject Loans than the existing terms hereunder. Upon receiving notice from the
Placement Agent of a proposed Refinancing, the Seller, the Servicer and the Originator each agrees
to cooperate with the Placement Agent and its designees, consistent with their rights hereunder and
the terms hereof, to the extent necessary or appropriate to effectuate any Refinancing by the
Placement Agent pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.22, including cooperating in making
available to the Placement Agent the Asset Files and servicing records relating to the Loans. In
consideration of the benefits received from the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Seller, the
Servicer and Originator each hereby agrees and covenants that in connection with each Refinancing,
it shall, at the request of the Placement Agent, make such representations and warranties
concerning the Loans as of the “cutoff date” of the related Refinancing to or as directed by the
Placement Agent as may be reasonably necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Placement Agent,
to effect such Refinancing, including any representations and warranties that may be required under
the TALF Program. In addition, the Seller, the Servicer and Originator shall (A) cooperate with
the Placement Agent in effecting any such Refinancing, including the transfer of all Asset Files
with respect to the Loans and shall cooperate to implement all requirements imposed by any rating
agency involved in any Refinancing; (B) supply such information, opinions of counsel, letters from
law and/or accounting firms (including any certifications, opinions and auditor attestations
required under the TALF Program) and other documentation and certificates regarding the origination
of the Loans as the Placement Agent or any prospective purchaser or investor shall reasonably
request to effect a Refinancing, and enter into such indemnification agreements customary for such
transaction (and substantially similar to indemnification agreements provided for in similar
transactions among the parties to the Refinancing) relating to or in connection with the
Refinancing as the Placement Agent may reasonably require, including certifications, agreements and
documents that may be required under the TALF Program; (C) make itself available for and engage in
good faith consultation with the Placement Agent and prospective purchasers or investors concerning
information to be contained in any document, agreement, private placement memorandum, prospectus,
prospectus supplement or similar document or filing with The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the
Securities and Exchange Commission or such other governmental or regulatory entity relating to the
Seller or the related Loans and use reasonable efforts to compile any information and prepare any
reports and certificates, into a form, whether written or electronic, suitable for inclusion in
such documentation, including certifications, agreements and documents that may be required under
the TALF Program; and (D) to implement the foregoing and to otherwise effect any such Refinancing,
enter into, or cause its



65









 




Affiliates to enter into insurance and indemnity agreements, underwriting or placement
agreements, servicing agreements, purchase agreements and any other documentation which may be
reasonably required by the Placement Agent in order to effect any such Refinancing; and take such
further actions as may be reasonably necessary to effect the foregoing; provided, that, (a) the
Seller shall not have any liability for the Loans arising from or relating to the ongoing ability
of the related obligors to pay under the Loans; (b) none of the indemnities hereunder shall
constitute an unconditional guarantee by the Seller of collectibility of the Loans; (c) the Seller
shall not have any obligation with respect to the financial inability of any obligor to pay
principal, interest or other amount owing by such obligor under a Loan, (d) the Seller, the
Servicer and the Originator shall not be obligated to make any representation or warranty that is
not true, noting that the Seller, the Servicer and the Originator shall make reasonable efforts to
take all applicable actions which would make such representation or warranty to be true, and (e)
the Seller, the Servicer and the Originator shall not be required to breach any confidentiality
agreement by which it is bound, noting that the Seller, the Servicer and the Originator shall make
reasonable efforts similar to efforts made in previous transactions between the parties to obtain
permissions to take the applicable action which would otherwise have been a breach of such
confidentiality agreement. All costs and expenses in connection with this Section 2.22
shall be the sole responsibility of the Seller.

purchase, any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U or to extend “purpose credit”
within the meaning of Regulation U.



     (q) Security Interest. The Servicer will take all steps necessary to ensure that the
Seller has granted a security interest (as defined in the UCC) to the Administrative Agent, as
agent for the Secured Parties, in the Collateral, which is enforceable in accordance with
Applicable Law upon execution and delivery of this Agreement. Upon the filing of UCC-1 financing
statements naming the Administrative Agent as secured party and the Seller as debtor, the
Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, shall have a first priority perfected
security interest in the Collateral (except for any Permitted Liens). All filings (including,
without limitation, such UCC filings) as are necessary for the perfection of the Secured Parties’
security interest in the Collateral have been (or prior to the date of the applicable will be)
made.



     (r) ERISA. The present value of all benefits vested under all “employee pension
benefit plans,” as such term is defined in Section 3 of ERISA, maintained by the Servicer,
or in which employees of the Servicer are entitled to participate, as from time to time in effect
(herein called the “Pension Plans”), does not exceed the value of the assets of the Pension Plan
allocable to such vested benefits (based on the value of such assets as of the last annual
valuation date). No prohibited transactions, accumulated funding deficiencies, withdrawals or
reportable events have occurred with respect to any Pension Plans that, in the aggregate, could
subject the Servicer to any material tax, penalty or other liability. No notice of intent to
terminate a Pension Plan has been billed, nor has any Pension Plan been terminated under Section
4041(f) of ERISA, nor has the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation instituted proceedings to
terminate, or appoint a trustee to administer, a Pension Plan and no event has occurred or
condition exists that might constitute grounds under Section 4042 of ERISA for the
termination of, or the appointment of a trustee to administer, any Pension Plan.



     (s) Investment Company Act. The Servicer is not, and is not controlled by, an
“investment company” within the meaning of, or is exempt from the registration requirement of, the
1940 Act.



     (t) USA PATRIOT Act. Neither the Servicer nor any Affiliate of the Servicer is (i) a
country, territory, organization, person or entity named on an OFAC list, (ii) a Person that
resides or has a place of business in a country or territory named on such lists or which is
designated as a “Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction” by the Financial Action Task Force on Money
Laundering, or whose subscription funds are transferred from or through such a jurisdiction; (iii)
a “Foreign Shell Bank” within the meaning of the USA PATRIOT Act, i.e., a foreign bank that does
not have a physical presence in any country and that is not affiliated with a bank that has a
physical presence and an acceptable level of regulation and supervision; or (iv) a person or entity
that resides in or is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction designated by the United States
Secretary of the Treasury under Sections 311 or 312 of the USA PATRIOT Act as warranting special
measures due to money laundering concerns.

to tangible net worth, tenor, and economic terms, including, without limitation, interest rate
margins, whether calculated as a spread, a fee or otherwise, in the aggregate), unused facility
fees, renewal and exit fees, advance rate calculations, minimum equity or overcollateralization
requirements, principal reduction terms (other than through the liquidation of a unique collateral
specified to such transaction) and events of default (collectively, “Core Transaction Terms”) are,
in the judgment of the Administrative Agent based, in each case, on all relevant factors, no less
favorable than similar provisions set forth under the Wachovia Facilities.

     Section 4.6 Breach of Certain Representations and Warranties.



     If on any day an Asset is (or becomes) a Warranty Asset, no later than two Business Days
following the earlier of knowledge by the Seller of such Asset becoming a Warranty Asset or receipt
by the Seller from the Administrative Agent or the Servicer of written notice thereof, the Seller
shall either: (a) make a deposit to the Collection Account (for allocation pursuant to Section
2.9 or Section 2.10, as applicable (the parties hereto acknowledging that the Turbo
Period has commenced on the Turbo Effective Date)) in immediately available funds in an amount
equal to the sum (the “Retransfer Price”) of (i) if such deposit is made during the Revolving
Period, the amount which, if deposited to the Collection Account on such date, would cause the
Availability as of such date (after giving effect to such Warranty Asset ceasing to be an Eligible
Asset) to be greater than or equal to zero, (ii) if such deposit is made during the Amortization
Period or the Turbo Period, an amount equal to the product of the Outstanding Asset Balance of such
Warranty Asset (without giving effect to the first two provisos in the definition of Outstanding
Asset Balance) multiplied by the Advance Rate applicable to such Warranty Asset on the Funding Date
thereof, (iii) any outstanding Servicer Advances thereon, (iv) any accrued and unpaid interest on
such Warranty Asset, (v) all Hedge Breakage Costs owed to the relevant Hedge Counterparty for any
termination of one or more Hedge Transactions, in whole or in part, as required by the terms of any

Transactions in order to meet the Seller’s obligations under Section 5.3(a) hereof.

Servicer to use such program.



     Section 6.2 Duties of the Servicer.



     (a) Appointment. The Seller hereby appoints the Servicer as its agent, as from time
to time designated pursuant to Section 6.1, to service the Collateral and enforce its
respective rights in and under such Collateral. The Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and

     (i) preparing and submitting of claims to, and post-billing liaison with, Obligors on

be required hereunder or as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request;




     (iii) maintaining and implementing administrative and operating procedures (including,
without limitation, an ability to recreate servicing records evidencing the Collateral in

documents, books, records and other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the
collection of the Collateral;




     (iv) promptly delivering to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Custodian, from
time to time, such information and servicing records (including information relating to its
performance under this Agreement) as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Custodian
may from time to time reasonably request;




     (v) identifying each Asset clearly and unambiguously in its servicing records to
reflect that such Asset is owned by the Seller and that the Seller is selling an undivided
ownership interest therein to the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement;




     (vi) notifying the Administrative Agent of any material action, suit, proceeding,
dispute, offset, deduction, defense or counterclaim (1) that is or is threatened to be
asserted by an Obligor with respect to any Asset (or portion thereof) of which it has
knowledge or has received notice; or (2) that is reasonably expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect;




     (vii) notifying the Administrative Agent of any proposed change in the Credit and
Collection Policy that could have an adverse effect on the collectibility of the Collateral,
on the Seller or on the interests of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party;

the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in the Collateral;




     (ix) maintaining in the same manner as the Collateral Custodian holds the Required

Asset included as part of the Collateral; and




     (x) the Servicer shall make payments pursuant to the terms of the Monthly Report in
accordance with Section 2.9 and Section 2.10 (the parties hereto
acknowledging that the Turbo Period has commenced on the Turbo Effective Date).



     (c) Hedge Covenants.


     (i) As of the initial Payment Date and thereafter, so long as any of the Class A VFCs
are outstanding, if on any date either:



     (1) the then current Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge Transactions (excluding
any interest rate cap transactions) hedging the Prime Rate Assets (i) is less than the


99









 






aggregate amount of the Class A Advances Outstanding of such Prime Rate Assets or
(ii) is greater than the amount specified in clause (i) above by more than the
Floating Prime Rate Permitted Excess Amount; or



     (2) the Aggregate Notional Amount for any future calculation period of all Hedge
Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap transactions) hedging the Prime Rate Assets
(i) is less than the projected aggregate amount of the Class A Advances Outstanding of the
Prime Rate Assets for the corresponding Collection Period or (ii) is greater than the
amount specified in clause (i) above by more than the Floating Prime 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 Administrative Agent and the Hedge Counterparties of
such event and, with effect on such next Payment Date, one or more of the Hedge Transactions
hedging the Prime Rate Assets will be reduced or amended, or the Seller will enter into one or more
additional Hedge Transactions, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Hedge Agreements so that, as applicable, the Aggregate Notional Amount for each calculation period
of the Hedge Transactions hedging the Prime Rate Assets will be equal to the aggregate amount of
the Class A Advances Outstanding of the Prime Rate Assets at the end of the corresponding
Collection Period or as projected to be outstanding at the end of the corresponding Collection
Period,




     (ii) So long as any of the Class A VFCs are outstanding, if on any date either:




     (1) the then current Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge Transactions under all
Hedge Agreements then in effect (excluding any interest rate cap transactions) exceeds the
then Aggregate Outstanding Asset Balance; or




     (2) the Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge Transactions (excluding any interest
rate cap transactions) for any future calculation period under all Hedge Agreements then
in effect exceeds the projected Aggregate Outstanding Asset Balance for the corresponding
Collection Period;


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 Administrative Agent and the Hedge Counterparties of
such event and, with effect on such next Payment Date, one or more of the Hedge Transactions will
be reduced or amended in accordance with the terms of the applicable Hedge Agreements so that the
Aggregate Notional Amount of the Hedge Transactions for any future calculation period will not
exceed the Aggregate Outstanding Asset Balance for the corresponding Collection Period.




     (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties of their rights hereunder shall not release the
Servicer, the Originator or the Seller from any of their duties or responsibilities with respect to
the Collateral. The Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian (except
in the role of Backup Servicer) shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any
Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Servicer
hereunder.



     (e) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any Indebtedness owed by it to the Originator or
the Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract
or Applicable Law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, be applied as a
Collection of an item of Collateral of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Collateral) to
the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other
receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.



100









 





     Section 6.3 Authorization of the Servicer.



     (a) Each of the Seller, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser and each Hedge Counterparty
hereby authorizes the Servicer (including any successor thereto) to take any and all reasonable
steps in its name (or in the name of a REO Asset Owner with respect to any REO Asset) and on its
behalf necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with the sale of the Collateral to the
Purchasers and each Hedge Counterparty, in the determination of the Servicer, to collect all
amounts due under any and all Collateral, including, without limitation, endorsing any of their
names on checks and other instruments representing Collections, executing and delivering any and
all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and
all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral and, after the delinquency of any
Collateral and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence
proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as the Originator could
have done if it had continued to own such Collateral. The Originator, the Seller and the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and each Hedge Counterparty shall furnish the
Servicer (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder,
and shall cooperate with the Servicer to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectibility
of the Collateral. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make the Secured Parties, any
Hedge Counterparty, the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent a party to any litigation
without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make the Seller a party to any litigation
(other than any routine foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative
Agent’s consent.



     (b) After a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, at the direction of the
Administrative Agent, the Servicer shall take such action as the Administrative Agent may deem
necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Collateral; provided that the Administrative
Agent may, at any time that a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is
continuing, notify any Obligor with respect to any Collateral of the assignment of such Collateral
to the Administrative Agent and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due be made
directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or lock-box or other account
designated by the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the
Seller, the Administrative Agent may enforce collection of any such Collateral, and adjust, settle
or compromise the amount or payment thereof.



     Section 6.4 Collection of Payments.



     (a) Collection Efforts, Modification of Collateral. The Servicer will use its
reasonable best efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the
Assets included in the Collateral as and when the same become due in accordance with the Credit and
Collection Policy, and will follow those collection procedures that it follows with respect to all
comparable Collateral that it services for itself or others. The Servicer may not waive, modify or
otherwise vary any provision of an item of Collateral in a manner that, in its reasonable judgment,
would impair the collectibility of the Collateral or in any manner contrary to the Credit and
Collection Policy. The Servicer may otherwise amend or modify the underlying documents related to
any item of Collateral in compliance with the Credit and Collection Policy.



     (b) Prepaid Asset. Prior to a Termination Event, upon any Asset becoming a Prepaid
Asset, the Servicer shall either (x) provide a Substitute Asset in accordance with
Section 2.18 or (y) deposit to the Collection Account (in addition to all amounts received
from the related Obligor upon the prepayment of such Asset) an amount equal to the excess, if any,
of the sum of (a) the Outstanding Asset Balance on the date of such payment, (b) any outstanding
Servicer Advances thereon, (c) any accrued and unpaid



101









 







interest, and (d) all Hedge Breakage Costs owing to the relevant Hedge Counterparty for any
termination of one or more Hedge Transactions, in whole or in part, as required by the terms of any
Hedging Agreement as the result of any such Asset becoming a Prepaid Asset, over the amount
received from the related Obligor upon such prepayment (such excess, the “Prepayment Amount”), in
each case, only to the extent necessary to cause the Availability as of such date (after giving
effect to such substitution or deposit, as applicable) to be greater than or equal to zero. After
a Termination Event has occurred, upon any Asset becoming a Prepaid Asset, the Servicer shall
deposit to the Collection Account all amounts received from the related Obligor upon the prepayment
of such Asset plus the Prepayment Amount, if any.



     (c) Acceleration. If required by the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer shall
accelerate the maturity of all or any Scheduled Payments and other amounts due under any Asset in
which a default under the terms thereof has occurred and is continuing (after the lapse of any
applicable grace period) promptly after such Asset becomes a Charged-Off Asset.



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



     (e) Payments to Lock-Box Account. On or before the applicable Cut-Off Date, the
Servicer shall have instructed all Obligors (or with respect to Acquired Loans, the applicable
agent) to make all payments in respect of the Collateral to the Lock-Box or directly to the
Lock-Box Account.



     (f) Continuation of the Collection Account. The Servicer shall cause to be continued
on or before the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, with the Collateral Custodian, and
maintained in the name of the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties, with an office
or branch of a depository institution or trust company a segregated corporate trust account
entitled Collection Account for Citicorp North America, Inc., as Administrative Agent for the
Secured Parties (the “Collection Account”), and the Servicer shall further maintain a subaccount
within the Collection Account for the purpose of segregating, within two Business Days of the
receipt of any Collections, Principal Collections (the “Principal Collections Account”), over which
the Collateral Custodian as agent for the Secured Parties shall have control and from which neither
the Originator, Servicer nor the Seller shall have any right of withdrawal except, at any time upon
one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian, prior to (A) a
payment default on the related Loan (such payment default shall mean any failure to make a payment
on the date such payment is due and such failure continues for more than one calendar day), (B) a
Servicer Default, (C) a Termination Event, or (D) an Unmatured Termination Event, in each case to
advance to an Obligor of any Revolving Loan in a given Collection Period prior to the last day of
such Collection Period an amount not to exceed the Principal Collections received from such Obligor
related to such Revolving Loan during that Collection Period; provided that at all times such
depository institution or trust company shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and a
depository institution organized under the laws of the United States of America or any one of the
States thereof or the District of Columbia (or any domestic branch of a foreign bank), (i) (a) that
has either (1) a long-term unsecured debt rating of “A” or better by S&P and “A2” or better by
Moody’s or (2) a short-term unsecured debt rating or certificate of deposit rating of “A-1” or
better by S&P or “P-1” or better by Moody’s, (b) the parent corporation of which has either (1) a
long-term unsecured debt rating of “A” or better by S&P and “A2” or better by Moody’s or (2) a
short-term unsecured debt rating or certificate of deposit rating of “A-1” or better by S&P and

     (g) [Intentionally Omitted.]



     (h) [Intentionally Omitted.]



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



     (j) Transfer of Collection Account to Citibank. If at any time CapitalSource Inc.’s
Consolidated Tangible Net Worth is less than the TNW Test Level or if a Servicer Default occurs
pursuant to Section 6.15(j), then the Servicer shall, within ten Business Days following
notice from the Administrative Agent, establish, or cause to be established a new account with an
office or branch of Citibank, maintained in the name of the Administrative Agent as agent for the
Secured Parties pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and Citibank, which new account shall thereafter constitute the “Collection Account”
hereunder for all purposes, and the Collateral Custodian shall thereafter not be responsible for
the maintenance of, deposits to or withdrawals from such account. All of the parties hereto hereby
consent to any such transfer of the Collection Account.



     Section 6.5 Servicer Advances.



     For each Collection Period, if the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payment (or portion
thereof) that was due and payable pursuant to an Asset during such Collection Period was not
received prior to the last day of such Collection Period, the Servicer may (in its sole and
absolute discretion) make an advance in an amount up to the amount of such delinquent Scheduled
Payment. The Servicer will deposit any Servicer Advances into the Collection Account on or prior
to 9:00 a.m. (New York City, New York time) on the Business Day prior to the related Payment Date,
in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no
Successor Servicer shall have any responsibility to make Servicer Advances.



     Section 6.6 Realization Upon Charged-Off Assets.



     The Servicer will use reasonable efforts to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the
ownership of any Related Property relating to a Charged-Off Asset and will act as sales and
processing agent for Related Property that it repossesses. 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 contracts and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such Related
Property, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to enforce all obligations
of Obligors and repossessing and selling such Related Property at public or private sale in
circumstances other than those described in the preceding sentence. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, unless the Administrative Agent has specifically given instruction to
the contrary, the Servicer may sell any such Related Property to the Servicer or its Affiliates for
a purchase price equal to the then fair market value thereof, any such sale to be evidenced by a
certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to the Administrative Agent setting
forth the Asset, the Related Property, the sale price of the Related Property and certifying that
such sale price is the fair market value of such Related Property. In any case in which any such
Related Property has suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any
repair or toward the repossession of such Related Property unless it reasonably determines that
such repair and/or repossession will increase the Recoveries by an amount greater than the amount
of such expenses. The



103









 







Servicer will remit to the Collection Account the Recoveries received in connection with the
sale or disposition of Related Property relating to a Charged-Off Asset.



     Section 6.7 Maintenance of Insurance Policies.



     The Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that each Obligor (or, in the case
of any REO Asset, each REO Asset Owner) maintains an Insurance Policy with respect to any Related
Property (other than accounts receivable) or REO Asset, as applicable, in an amount at least equal
to the Servicer’s good faith and commercially reasonable estimate of the value of the real
property, inventory, and/or equipment constituting such Related Property or REO Asset, as
applicable, and shall ensure that each such Insurance Policy names the Servicer as loss payee and
as an insured thereunder and all of the Seller’s right, title and interest therein is fully
assigned to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties. Additionally, the Servicer
shall require that each Obligor (or, in the case of any REO Asset, each REO Asset Owner) maintain
property damage liability insurance during the term of each Loan (or, in the case of a REO Asset,
during such period of time as the related REO Asset Owner owns and operates such REO Asset) in
amounts and against risks customarily insured against by the Obligor or the REO Asset Owner, as
applicable, on property owned by it. If an Obligor or REO Asset Owner, as applicable, fails to
maintain property damage insurance, the Servicer may in its discretion purchase and maintain such
insurance on behalf of, and at the expense of, the Obligor or REO Asset Owner, as applicable. In
connection with its activities as Servicer, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of the
Administrative Agent, claims to the insurer under each Insurance Policy and any such liability
policy, and to settle, adjust and compromise such claims, in each case, consistent with the terms
of each Loan. The Servicer’s Insurance Policies with respect to the Related Property or REO Asset,
as applicable, will insure against liability for physical damage relating to such Related Property
or REO Asset, as applicable, in accordance with the requirements of the Credit and Collection
Policy. The Servicer hereby disclaims any and all right, title and interest in and to any
Insurance Policy and Insurance Proceeds with respect to any Related Property or REO Asset, as
applicable, including any Insurance Policy with respect to which it is named as loss payee and as
an insured, and agrees that it has no equitable, beneficial or other interest in the Insurance
Polices and Insurance Proceeds other than being named as loss payee and as an insured. The
Servicer acknowledges that with respect to the Insurance Policies and Insurance Proceeds thereof
that it is acting solely in the capacity as agent for the Administrative Agent, as agent for the
Secured Parties.



     Section 6.8 Servicing Compensation.



     As compensation for its servicing activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses, the
Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee to the extent of funds available therefor
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.9(a)(3) or Section 2.10(a)(3), as
applicable (the parties hereto acknowledging that the Turbo Period has commenced on the Turbo
Effective Date).



     Section 6.9 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 of independent accountants, 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 for the
account of the Seller, but excluding Liquidation Expenses incurred as a result of activities
contemplated by Section 6.6; provided that for avoidance of doubt, to the extent
Liquidation Expenses relate to a Loan and a Retained Interest such Liquidation Expenses shall be
allocated pro rata. The Servicer will be required to pay all reasonable fees and expenses owing to
any bank or trust company in connection with the maintenance of the Collection Account and the
Lock-Box Account. The Servicer shall be required to pay such expenses for its own account and
shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than the Servicing Fee.

Liquidity Bank, the Servicer will provide to such party the financial statements of any Obligor.

recurring audit memos to the extent undertaken by the initial Servicer, in each case which access
shall be provided, for a period of 10 Business Days or such longer period as reasonably requested
by the Administrative Agent and agreed upon by the initial Servicer, (a) within 60 days after the
end of each of the initial Servicer’s fiscal quarters (excluding the last fiscal quarter) and (b)
within 90 days after the end of the initial Servicer’s fiscal year. The initial Servicer will,
following provision of reasonable notice and to the extent received by the Seller and/or the
initial Servicer, promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent any other documents and information
required to be delivered under the Loan documents to the Seller and/or the initial Servicer with
respect to any Loan.



105









 





     Section 6.11 Annual Statement as to Compliance.



     The Servicer will provide to the Administrative Agent, within 90 days following the end of
each fiscal year of the Servicer, commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2007, a
fiscal report signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer certifying that (a) a review of the

     Section 6.12 Annual Independent Public Accountant’s Servicing Reports.

of the Servicer, commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2007: (i) a report
relating to such fiscal year to the effect that (a) such firm has reviewed certain documents and
records relating to the servicing of the Collateral, and (b) based on such examination, such firm

Agreement, except for such exceptions as it believes to be immaterial and such other exceptions as
will be set forth in such firm’s report and (ii) a report covering such fiscal year to the effect
that such accountants have applied certain agreed-upon procedures (which procedures shall have been
approved by the Administrative Agent) to certain documents and records relating to the Collateral
under any Transaction Document, compared the information contained in the Monthly Reports and the
Servicer’s Certificates delivered during the period covered by such report with such documents and
records and that no matters came to the attention of such accountants that caused them to believe
that such servicing was not conducted in compliance with this Article VI, except for such
exceptions as such accountants shall believe to be immaterial and such other exception as shall be
set forth in such statement.



     Section 6.13 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others



     Except as provided herein, the Servicer shall not be under any liability to the Administrative
Agent, the Secured Parties or any other Person for any action taken or for refraining from the
taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement whether arising from express or implied duties
under this Agreement; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein
nothing shall protect the Servicer against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason

its willful misconduct hereunder.



     Section 6.14 The Servicer Not to Resign.

by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Backup
Servicer. No such resignation shall become effective until a Successor Servicer shall have assumed
the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 6.2.



106

     Section 6.16 Appointment of Successor Servicer.



     (a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice pursuant to
Section 6.15, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this
Agreement until the date specified in the Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the
Administrative Agent in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Servicer Termination
Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent, until a date mutually agreed upon by the
Servicer and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at the time described in the
immediately preceding sentence, appoint the Backup Servicer as the Servicer hereunder, and the
Backup Servicer shall on such date assume all obligations of the Servicer hereunder, and all
authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Backup
Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Backup Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee,
together with other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or
otherwise as provided herein; including, without limitation, Transition Expenses. In the event
that the Administrative Agent does not so appoint the Backup Servicer, there is no Backup Servicer
or the Backup Servicer is unable to assume such obligations on such date, the Administrative Agent
shall as promptly as possible appoint a successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), and such
Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the
Administrative Agent. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not accepted its



108









 







appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Administrative Agent
shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution,
having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing
of Collateral, as the Successor Servicer hereunder.



     (b) Upon its appointment, the Backup Servicer (subject to Section 6.16(a)) or the
Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with
respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and
provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to
the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable; provided that the Backup Servicer or
Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall have (i) no liability with respect to any action performed
by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as
applicable, becomes the successor to the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any
alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any advancing
obligations, if any, of the Servicer unless it elects to in its sole discretion, (iii) no
obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer (provided that the Backup Servicer
or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall pay any income taxes for which it is liable), (iv) no
obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the transactions contemplated
hereby, and (v) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations
of any prior Servicer, including the original Servicer. The indemnification obligations of the
Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, upon becoming a Successor Servicer, are
expressly limited to those arising on account of its failure to act in good faith and with
reasonable care under the circumstances. In addition, the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer,
as applicable, shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the
Servicer contained in Article IV. Further, for so long as the Backup Servicer shall be the
Successor Servicer, the provisions of Section 2.15, Section 2.16(b) and Section
2.16(e) of this Agreement shall not apply to it in its capacity as Servicer.



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



     (d) Upon the Backup Servicer receiving notice that it is required to serve as the Servicer
hereunder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.16, the Backup Servicer
will promptly begin the transition to its role as Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Backup Servicer may, in its discretion, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, any established servicing institution as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer
hereunder. As compensation, any Successor Servicer (including, without limitation, the
Administrative Agent) so appointed shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee, together with
any other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise
as provided herein that accrued prior thereto, including, without limitation, Transition Expenses.
In the event the Backup Servicer is required to solicit bids as provided herein, the Backup
Servicer shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from banks and mortgage servicing institutions
meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 6.16(a). Such public announcement shall
specify that the Successor Servicer shall be entitled to the full amount of the Servicing Fee as
servicing compensation, together with the other servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees, late payment charges or otherwise that accrued prior thereto. Within 30 days after any such
public announcement, the Backup Servicer shall negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and
assignment of the



109









 







servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest
qualifying bid. The Backup Servicer shall deduct from any sum received by the Backup Servicer from
the successor to the Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all costs and
expenses of any public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing
rights and responsibilities hereunder and the amount of any unreimbursed Servicing Advances. After
such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Backup Servicer to the Servicer at
the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to the Servicer’s successor. The Backup Servicer
and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. No appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder shall be
effective until written notice of such proposed appointment shall have been provided by the Backup
Servicer to the Administrative Agent and the Backup Servicer shall have consented thereto. The
Backup Servicer shall not resign as servicer until a Successor Servicer has been appointed and
accepted such appointment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event
shall Wells Fargo, in any capacity, 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 under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for by this Agreement.



     Section 6.17 Servicing of REO Assets.



     (a) If, in the reasonable business judgment of the Servicer, it becomes necessary to convert
any Loan that is secured by a Mortgage or real property and included in the Collateral into an REO
Asset in accordance with Section 6.6, following receipt of written consent of the
Administrative Agent (which consent may be evidenced by the execution by the Administrative Agent
of any supplement to the REO Pledge Agreement with respect to any REO Asset Owner newly formed to
hold such REO Asset), the Servicer shall first cause the Seller to transfer and assign such Real
Estate Loan (or the portion thereof owned by the Seller) to a special purpose vehicle (the “REO
Asset Owner”) using a contribution agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G (an
"REO Contribution Agreement”). All membership interests and any other equity of the REO Asset
Owner acquired by the Seller shall immediately become a part of the Collateral and be subject to
the grant of a security interest under Section 9.1 and the REO Pledge Agreement and shall
be promptly delivered to the Collateral Custodian, each undated and duly indorsed in blank. The
REO Asset Owner shall be formed and operated pursuant to a limited liability company operating
agreement substantially in the form as Exhibit H, with any alterations thereto as
reasonably agreed to by the Servicer and the Administrative Agent. After execution thereof, the
Servicer shall prevent the REO Asset Owner from agreeing to any amendment or other modification of
the REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating agreement without first obtaining the
written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Servicer shall cause each REO Asset to be
serviced (i) in accordance with Applicable Laws, (ii) with reasonable care and diligence, (iii) in
accordance with the applicable REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating agreement,
(iv) in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and (v) with a view toward maximizing
Recoveries on such REO Asset (collectively, the “REO Servicing Standard”). The Servicer will cause
all “Distributable Cash” (as defined in each REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating
agreement) to be deposited into the Collection Account promptly, and in any event within two
Business Days of receipt thereof. At all times prior to the “Threshold Date” (as defined in the
applicable REO Asset Owner limited liability company operating agreement), the Servicer shall not
permit the REO Asset Owner to undertake any of the activities set forth in Section 9.4(c) (or
comparable section) of such REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating agreement.



     (a) In the event that title to any Related Property is acquired on behalf of the REO Asset
Owner for the benefit of its members in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or upon
abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the
name of a REO Asset



110









 







Owner. The Servicer shall cause the REO Asset Owner to manage, conserve, protect and operate
each REO Asset for its members solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale.



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




     (i) such Related Property is in compliance in all material respects with applicable
environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it
would be in the best economic interest of the Sellers and the REO Asset Owner to take such
actions as are necessary to bring such Related Property in compliance therewith, and




     (ii) there are no circumstances present at such Related Property relating to the use,
management or disposal of any hazardous materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation would reasonably be expected to be required
by the owner, occupier or operator of the Related Property under applicable federal, state
or local law or regulation, or that, if any such hazardous materials are present for which
such action would reasonably be expected to be required, after consultation with an
environmental consultant, it would be in the best economic interest of the Seller and the
REO Asset Owner to take such actions with respect to the affected Related Property.


In the event that the Phase I or other environmental assessment first obtained by the Servicer with
respect to Related Property indicates that such Related Property may not be in compliance with
applicable environmental laws or that hazardous materials may be present but does not definitively
establish such fact, the Servicer shall cause such further environmental assessment activities to
be conducted by an independent third-party who regularly conducts such assessments as the Servicer
shall deem prudent to protect the interests of the Seller and the REO Asset Owner. Any such
assessments shall be deemed part of the environmental assessment obtained by the Servicer for
purposes of this Section 6.17(c).

perform such obligations. The Backup Servicer shall have no responsibility and shall not be in
default hereunder or incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction or any delay in

care and attention as it employs with respect to similar Collateral that it holds as

may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Custodian shall be a party, or

whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform
every obligation of the Collateral Custodian hereunder, shall be the successor to the Collateral
Custodian under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.

designated officer of the Administrative Agent or (b) the verbal instructions of the
Administrative Agent.




     (ii) The Collateral Custodian may consult counsel satisfactory to it and the advice or
opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect
of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance

any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or
law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in
the case of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its
duties and in the case of the negligent performance of its Payment Duties and in the case of
its negligent performance of its duties in taking and retaining custody of the Required
Asset Documents.




     (iv) The Collateral Custodian makes no warranty or representation and shall have no

except upon the Collateral Custodian’s determination that (i) the performance of its duties
hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable Law and (ii) there is no reasonable action
that the Collateral Custodian could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder
permissible under Applicable Law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the
Collateral Custodian shall be evidenced as to



117









 





clause (i) above by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the
Administrative Agent. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor Collateral
Custodian shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Collateral Custodian
hereunder.

submitted pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection shall be released by the Collateral
Custodian to the Servicer.



     (b) Limitation on Release. The foregoing provision respecting release to the Servicer

paragraph shall not apply to the release of Required Asset Documents to the Servicer pursuant to
the immediately succeeding subsection.



     (c) Release for Payment. Upon receipt by the Collateral Custodian of the Servicer’s
request for release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H(which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with
such payment or repurchase have been credited to the Collection Account as provided in this
Agreement), the Collateral Custodian shall promptly release the related Required Asset Documents to
the Servicer; provided, that the Collateral Custodian shall release the Required Asset
Documents related to any REO Asset to the Servicer in connection with the Servicer’s exercise of
remedies thereon promptly upon the Servicer’s request.

been substituted in accordance with Section 2.18, (c) as to which the lien on the Related
Property has been so released pursuant to Section 9.2, (d) that has been repaid by the

Custodian and the Administrative Agent a written request in the form of Exhibit H hereto
(signed by both the Seller and the Administrative Agent) specifying the Collateral to be so
returned and reciting that the conditions to such release have been met (and specifying the Section
or Sections of this Agreement being relied upon for such release). The Collateral Custodian shall
upon its



118









 







receipt of each such request for return executed by the Seller and the Administrative Agent
promptly, but in any event within five Business Days, return the Required Asset Documents so
requested to the Seller.



     Section 8.10 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Collateral;
Audits.



     The Collateral Custodian shall provide to the Administrative Agent access to the Required
Asset Documents and all other documentation regarding the Collateral including in such cases where

of the Secured Parties, or by applicable statutes or regulations, to review such documentation,
such access being afforded without charge but only (i) upon two Business Days prior written
request, (ii) during normal business hours and (iii) subject to the Servicer’s and Collateral
Custodian’s normal security and confidentiality procedures. Prior to the Closing Date and
periodically thereafter at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may
review the Servicer’s collection and administration of the Collateral in order to assess compliance
by the Servicer with the Credit and Collection Policy, as well as with this Agreement and may
conduct an audit of the Collateral, Required Asset Documents in conjunction with such a review.
Such review shall be reasonable in scope and shall be completed in a reasonable period of time.
Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.10, from time to time on
request of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall permit certified public
accountants or other auditors acceptable to the Administrative Agent to conduct, at the Servicer’s
expense, a review of the Required Asset Documents and all other documentation regarding the

     Section 8.11 [Intentionally Omitted.]



ARTICLE IX




SECURITY INTEREST




     Section 9.1 Grant of Security Interest.



     The parties to this Agreement intend that the conveyance of the Collateral by the Seller to
the applicable Purchasers be treated as sales for all purposes (other than for the purposes
described in Section 13.19 and for accounting purposes). If, despite such intention, a
determination is made that such transactions not be treated as sales, then the parties hereto
intend that this Agreement constitute a security agreement and the transactions effected hereby
constitute secured loans by the applicable Purchasers to the Seller under Applicable Law. For such
purpose, the Seller hereby transfers, conveys, assigns and grants as of the Closing Date to the
Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, a lien and continuing security interest in
all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of the obligations under)
all Collateral (including any Hedging Agreements), whether now existing or hereafter arising or
acquired by the Seller, and wherever the same may be located, to secure the prompt, complete and
indefeasible payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or
otherwise, of the Aggregate Unpaids of the Seller arising in connection with this Agreement and
each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or
indirect, or absolute or contingent, including, without limitation, all Aggregate Unpaids. The
assignment under this Section 9.1 does not constitute and is not intended to result in a
creation or an assumption by the Administrative Agent, any Hedge Counterparty, the Purchasers or
any of the Secured Parties of any obligation of the Seller or any other Person in connection with

otherwise;

be paid by the Servicer to the Indemnified Party within five Business Days following such Person’s
demand therefor.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT




     Section 12.1 The Administrative Agent.



     (a) Each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent
and bailee for purposes of perfection pursuant to the applicable UCC or other Applicable Law and
hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents and bailees to act
on its behalf and for the benefit of each Secured Party. Each Secured Party further authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by
the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In
furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby
appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and
documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or
appropriate or that a Secured Party may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more
fully evidence the security interests granted by the Seller hereunder, or to enable any of them to
exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the
execution by the Administrative Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation
statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Collateral
now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or
appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. The Purchasers may direct the Administrative
Agent to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are
incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent hereunder, the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall
be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining
from acting) upon the direction of the Liquidity Banks; provided that the Administrative Agent
shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable
determination of the Administrative Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary
to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder
or otherwise. In the event the Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Purchaser or a
Liquidity Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does not receive a
consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten Business Days of such Person’s
receipt of such request, then such Purchaser or Liquidity Bank shall be deemed to have declined to
consent to the relevant actions.



     (b) The Administrative Agent shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
person’s own affairs. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities,
except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with the Purchasers or
Liquidity Banks, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities on the part of the



128









 







Administrative Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or
otherwise exist for the Administrative Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder and
under the other Transaction Documents, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent for the
Purchasers and Liquidity Banks and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any
obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Seller or any of its successors or
assigns.



     (c) Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of
its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of
the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal
counsel (including counsel for the Seller or the Originator), independent public accountants and
other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in
good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes
no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to
ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the Seller,
the Originator, or the Servicer or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the

Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent,
certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telex) believed by it to be genuine and
signed or sent by the proper party or parties.



     (d) Credit Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent. Each Secured Party
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any
of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based upon such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Secured Party also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative
Agent’s Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.



     (e) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each Liquidity Bank agrees to
indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller or the Servicer),
ratably in accordance with its Commitment (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, then
ratably according to the respective amounts of the sum of (x) the aggregate Advances Outstanding
funded by it plus (y) the additional Advances it may be required to fund under the applicable
Liquidity Agreement) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in
any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or
any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder; provided that none
of the Liquidity Banks shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the
Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing,
each Liquidity Bank agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its
Commitment (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, then ratably according to the respective
amounts of the sum of (x) the aggregate Advances Outstanding funded by it plus (y) the additional
Advances it may be required to fund under the applicable Liquidity Agreement) promptly upon



129









 







demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative
Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether
through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that the
Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Seller or the Servicer.



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



     (g) Payments by the Administrative Agent. All amounts received by the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Purchasers shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the applicable
Purchasers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, on the Business Day received by the
Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such Business Day, in
which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to the
applicable Purchasers on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such
Purchasers not later than the following Business Day.



     (h) Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties
under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of
counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care.



     (i) Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges
that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by
the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs
of the Seller, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative
Agent. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that it has and will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of
the Seller and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents
or any Hedging Agreement, as the case may be.



130









 





     (j) Administrative Agent and its Affiliates. The Administrative Agent and any of its
Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business
with the Seller, Originator or Servicer or any Affiliate of the foregoing as though the
Administrative Agent was not the Administrative Agent. With respect to the Advances made pursuant
to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates shall have the same rights
and powers under this Agreement as any Liquidity Bank and may exercise the same as though it were
not the Administrative Agent.

in separate counterparts (including by facsimile or by electronic mail in portable document format
(pdf)), each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. In case any provision in or obligation
under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or
obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This
Agreement and the Transaction Documents contains the final and complete integration of all prior

to, or for the respective account of, the Seller, the Servicer or the Originator against any amount
owing by the Seller, the Servicer or the Originator, respectively, to such Person or to the

Liquidity Bank or other Eligible Assignee to become a party to the Liquidity Agreement for a
maximum principal amount equal to the assignee’s Commitment),




     (v) concurrently with any such assignment, such Liquidity Bank assigns to such Eligible

pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a
Liquidity Bank hereunder and (y) the assigning Purchaser shall, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance
Agreement, relinquish such rights and be released from such obligations under this Agreement (and,
in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an
assigning Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Purchaser shall cease to be
a party hereto).



     (c) With respect to the Liquidity Banks, the Administrative Agent shall maintain at its
address referred to in Section 13.2 of this Agreement a copy of each Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the
names and addresses of the Liquidity Banks and the Commitment of, and aggregate outstanding
principal of Advances owned by, each Liquidity Bank from time to time (the “Register”). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error,
and the Seller, the Originator, the Administrative Agent and the Liquidity Banks may treat each
person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Liquidity Bank under this Agreement for all
purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Seller or any
Liquidity Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon its
receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by an assigning Liquidity Bank and an
Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has
been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information
contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Seller.



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



138









 







such Liquidity Bank pledges a corresponding portion of its rights and obligations under the CS
Funding VII Facility.



     (e) Each Liquidity Bank may sell participations, to one or more banks or other entities, in or
to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances owned by it); provided, however,
that




     (i) such Liquidity Bank’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, its Commitment to the Seller hereunder) shall remain unchanged,




     (ii) such Liquidity Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this
Agreement for the performance of such obligations, and




     (iii) concurrently with such participation, the selling Liquidity Bank shall sell to
such bank or other entity a participation in an equal percentage of its rights and
obligations under the Liquidity Agreement; and




     (iv) concurrently with such participation, such Liquidity Bank sell to such participant
a corresponding participation under the CS Funding VII Facility.



     The Administrative Agent, the Purchasers, other Liquidity Banks and the Seller shall have the
right to continue to deal solely and directly with such Liquidity Bank in connection with such
Person’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.



     (f) This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent herein shall be
assignable by the Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns; provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent agrees that it will not assign such rights and obligations to any Person other
than an Affiliate of Citibank unless:




     (i) in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent
determines that continued service by it (or its Affiliate) as Administrative Agent hereunder
would be inconsistent with, or otherwise disadvantageous under, applicable legal, tax or
regulatory restrictions, in which case the Administrative Agent shall notify the Seller of
such determination and consult with the Seller regarding the selection of an assignee; or




     (ii) there shall have occurred any Termination Event, which shall be continuing; or




     (iii) the Seller shall have consented to such assignment (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed).



     (g) The Seller may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein, or
permit any Lien (other than any Permitted Lien) to exist upon, any of the Seller’s rights,
obligations or duties under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and each Hedge Counterparty.



     Section 13.17 Heading and Exhibits.



     The headings herein are for purposes of references only and shall not otherwise affect the
meaning or interpretation of any provision hereof. The schedules and exhibits attached hereto and
referred to herein shall constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this
Agreement for all purposes.

     Section 13.18 Loans Subject to Retained Interest Provisions.



     (a) With respect to any Loan included in the Collateral subject to the Retained Interest
provisions of this Agreement, the Seller will own only the principal portion of such Loans
outstanding as of the applicable Cut-Off Date. Collections from the Obligor on such Revolving Loan
will be allocated (x) first, to the portion of such Revolving Loan owned by any of the Originator,
its Affiliate special purpose entities under any revolving warehouse facility involving the
Originator or one of its Affiliates, any co-lenders under such facilities or revolving warehouse
facility involving the Originator or one of its Affiliates, and then (y) second, to the portion of
such Revolving Loan owned by such entity under or a term transaction; provided that if (i) a
payment default occurs, or an event of default occurs (without waiver) with respect to any of the
related Loans, or an Insolvency Event with respect to the related Obligor, (ii) the Servicer has
determined that the creditworthiness of the Obligor under such related Loan has deteriorated such
that it materially and adversely affects the value of such related Loan or has reduced in a
material manner the likelihood of repayment in full thereunder, (iii) the Originator has determined
in its sole discretion to reduce or terminate its commitment to an Obligor, or (iv) a Termination
Event or Unmatured Termination Event occurs, then at such time and all times thereafter,
Collections received on (A) the applicable Loan (in the case of clause (i), (ii) or
(iii) above) or (B) all the Revolving Loans (in the case of clause (iv) above) will
be allocated between the portion owned by the Originator, its Affiliate special purpose entities
under the warehouse or term facilities then outstanding and the portion owned by the Seller, pro
rata based upon the outstanding principal amount of each such portion.



     (b) With respect to any Term Loans included in the Collateral subject to the Retained Interest
provisions of this Agreement, Principal Collections and Interest Collections received by the
Servicer will be allocated between the portion owned by the Seller and to the portion not owned by
the Seller (if any) on a pro rata basis according to the outstanding principal amount of such
portion.



     Section 13.19 Tax Treatment of Advances.



     It is the intention of the Seller and the Purchasers that, for U.S. federal, state and local
income and franchise tax purposes only, the Advances made hereunder will be treated as indebtedness
secured by the Collateral. The Seller, by entering into this Agreement, and the Purchasers, by
making the Advances described herein, agree to treat the Advances for U.S. federal, state and local
income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness. The provisions of this Agreement and all
related Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties.



     Section 13.20 Acknowledgement.



     Each of the parties hereto (except the Backup Servicer and the Collateral Custodian)
acknowledges and agrees that the third amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement on the
Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date on the terms and conditions set forth herein shall
not in any way adversely affect any sales, transfers, assignments or security interest grants
effected pursuant to the Original Agreement, and each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees
that the third amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement on the Third Amendment and
Restatement Effective Date on the terms and conditions set forth herein shall not in any way
adversely affect any representations, warranties, covenants or indemnities made by the Seller, the
Servicer, the Backup Servicer or the Collateral Custodian with respect to such sales, transfers,
assignments or security interest grants or any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or
the Purchasers with respect thereto. Each of the parties hereto confirms all sales, transfers,
assignments and security interests effected pursuant to the Original Agreement. Any action taken
by any party on or prior to the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date as expressly
required by the 2009 Restructuring shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to cause a Termination
Event.
