Account, to the extent of Available Funds, and (ii) Servicer Advances of Scheduled Payments, if any, received with respect to the immediately preceding Collection Period, the following amounts in the following order of priority:

(i) to repay any amounts not previously paid in full pursuant to clauses (i) through (xvi) in
Section 2.8(a) above;

(ii) pro rata, to each Lender Agent for the account of the applicable Lender,
based on the respective amounts owed, in an amount necessary to reduce the Advances Outstanding and Aggregate Unpaids to zero; and

(iii) any remaining amounts shall be distributed to the Borrower.

Section 2.9. Collections and Allocations.

(a) Collections. The Servicer shall promptly identify (with the assistance of the Trustee, if necessary) any collections received as
being on account of Interest Collections, Principal Collections or other Collections, whether received by it in its capacity as Concentration Account Servicer under the Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise, and shall transfer or cause to be
transferred to the Collection Account, all such Collections which are in the form of available



75



---

funds to the Collection Account by the close of business on the second Business Day after such Collections are so received. Upon the transfer of Collections
to the Collection Account, and on the basis of information received from the Servicer, the Trustee shall segregate Principal Collections and Interest Collections and transfer the same to the corresponding Principal Collections Account and Interest
Collections Account, as applicable. The Trustee shall make such deposits or payments on the date indicated therein by wire transfer, in immediately available funds. The Trustee shall further provide a statement to the Servicer as to the amount of
Principal Collections and Interest Collections on deposit in the Collection Account as of the related Determination Date on each Reporting Date for inclusion in the Servicing Report delivered pursuant to Section 6.11(b). In addition, at
the time the Trustee receives Collections or funds from the Concentration Account into the Collection Account, the Servicer will classify all funds so transferred on the WSO System (or such successor system as mutually agreed by the Servicer, the
Backup Servicer and the Trustee and the Administrative Agent in writing) as one of the following types of Collections (which list may have reasonable additional items added to it from time to time by written notice from the Servicer to the Trustee,
the Backup Servicer and the Administrative Agent): (i) Scheduled Payments, (ii) Prepayments, (iii) Recoveries, (iv) Insurance Proceeds, (v) fees, (vi) hedge payments, (vii) Servicer Advances, (viii) Excluded
Amounts and (ix) additional amounts.

(b) Initial Deposits. On the Funding Date with respect to any Loan, the Servicer will
deposit into the Collection Account all Collections received in respect of such Loan 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 Trustee), 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 and each Lender Agent (with a copy to the Trustee) a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in a
form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Trustee and each Lender Agent in their sole discretion.

(d) Investment
of Funds. Until the occurrence of a Termination Event, to the extent there are uninvested available amounts deposited in the Collection Account on or before 3:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time), all such amounts shall be invested in Permitted
Investments selected by the Servicer (so long as it is the Originator or Affiliate thereof) in written instructions delivered to the Trustee (which may be in the form of standing instructions) that mature no later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the next Payment Date; to the extent that there are uninvested available funds deposited after 3:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time), such funds shall be swept into the overnight funds investment which shall be a Permitted Investment
selected by the Servicer in written instructions delivered to the Trustee (which may be in the form of standing instructions). 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 in written instructions delivered to the Trustee (which may be in the form of standing instructions) that mature no
later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date. Until the occurrence of a Termination Event, to the extent there are



76



---

uninvested available amounts deposited in the Reserve Account after 3:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time), such funds shall be swept into the overnight
funds investment which shall be a Permitted Investment selected by the Servicer in written instructions delivered to the Trustee (which may be in the form of standing instructions). From and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, to the extent
there are uninvested amounts in the Reserve Account (net of losses and investment expenses) after 3:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time), all such amounts may be swept into the overnight funds investment which shall be a Permitted Investment
selected by the Administrative Agent in written instructions delivered to the Trustee (which may be in the form of standing instructions). 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 the Priority of Payments. All investments shall be subject to availability. Absent receipt of instructions as contemplated herein, the Trustee shall have no obligation to invest
any funds.

Section 2.10. Payments, Computations, Etc.

(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited
in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 1:00 p.m. on the day when due in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds to the applicable Lender Agents Account and any amount not received before such time shall be
deemed received on the next Business Day. The Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder at 2.00% 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 Lender. 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 (other than calculations with respect to the Base Rate which shall be based on a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) 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 the Priority of Payments, such unpaid amounts shall remain due and owing and shall
accrue Interest until repaid in full.

(c) If any Advance requested by the Borrower is not effectuated as a result of the Borrowers
actions or failure to fulfill any condition under Section 3.2, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify the applicable Lender against any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by the applicable
Lender including any loss (including loss of anticipated profits, net of anticipated profits in the reemployment of such funds in the manner determined by each Lender), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of
deposits or other funds acquired by the applicable Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.

Section 2.11. Fees.

(a) The Servicer on behalf of the Borrower shall pay, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to each applicable Lender Agent from the Collection
Account to the extent funds are available on each Payment Date, in arrears in respect of each Collection Period, the applicable accrued Interest and the applicable Commitment Fee agreed to between the Borrower and such Lender Agent in the Lender Fee
Letter.

(b) The Servicer shall be entitled to the Senior Servicing Fee and the Subordinated Servicing Fee in accordance with the Priority
of Payments;

(c) The Trustee shall be entitled to receive the Trustee Fee and the Backup Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Backup
Servicing Fee and such parties shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for certain expenses as described in, and in accordance with, the Priority of Payments.

(d) The Borrower shall pay to Mayer Brown LLP as counsel to the Administrative Agent, and to Nixon Peabody LLP, as counsel to the Trustee, all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses thereof within 30 Business Days
after receiving an invoice for such amounts.

Section 2.12. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.

(a) If either (i) the introduction of or any change (including 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 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 security interest in the Collateral granted to
the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder or the Lenders rights hereunder, 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 on the next Payment Date following such event or circumstance the Borrower 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 (and to the extent the Borrower does not make such payment the Servicer shall pay).

(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 compliance



78



---

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 on the next Payment Date following such event or circumstance the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction (and to the extent the Borrower does not make such payment the Servicer shall pay). For the 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 Borrower with the assets and liabilities of the Administrative Agent, any Lender Agent, any Lender or any Liquidity Bank, such event shall constitute a circumstance on which such Affected Party may base a claim for reimbursement
under this Section 2.12.

(c) If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in
clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12, 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 on the next Payment Date following such event or circumstance the Borrower 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 (and to the extent the Borrower does not make such payment the Servicer shall pay).

(d) In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.12, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.12 shall submit to the Borrower and 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.

(e) If the applicable Lender shall notify their
respective Lender Agent that a Eurodollar Disruption Event as described in clause (a) of the definition of Eurodollar Disruption Event has occurred, the applicable Lender Agent or the Administrative Agent shall in turn so notify the
Borrower and the Servicer, whereupon all Advances Outstanding of the affected Lender 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.

Section 2.13. Taxes.

(a) All payments made by an Obligor in respect of a Loan and all payments made by the Borrower or made by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without
deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents, 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



79



---

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 Lenders, any Affected Party, the Administrative Agent or the Lender Agents, respectively, with respect to payments
required to be made by the Borrower or Servicer under this Agreement, by a taxing jurisdiction in which the Lenders, any Affected Party, the Administrative Agent or the Lender Agents, are organized, conducts business or is paying taxes (as the case
may be).

(b) The Borrower will indemnify (and to the extent the indemnification provided by the Borrower is insufficient the Servicer 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. The Servicer shall direct
the Trustee to pay on behalf of the Borrower from Available Funds all amounts in respect of this indemnification shall be paid on the Payment Date following the date a written invoice therefor is delivered to the Borrower and the Servicer.

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

(d) If a Lender is not created or organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, such Lender shall deliver to the
Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, (i) within 15 days after the date hereof, 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 Borrower to make payments hereunder for the account of
such Lender without deduction or withholding of United States federal 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 2.13(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 Borrower or the Servicer to make payments hereunder for the account of such Lender 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 Lenders in
connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, the Lenders are required to compensate a bank or other financial institution in respect of Taxes under circumstances similar to those described in this
Section 2.13, then, on the Payment Date following any such payment made by the Lenders, the Borrower shall pay (or to the extent the Borrower does not make such payment the Servicer shall pay) to the Lenders such additional amount or
amounts as may be necessary to reimburse the Lenders for any amounts paid by them.

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower and the Servicer hereunder,
the agreements and obligations of the Borrower and the Servicer contained in this Section 2.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.14. Assignment of the Sale Agreement. The Borrower hereby assigns to the Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder, all of the Borrowers right, title and
interest in and to, but none of its obligations under, the Sale Agreement and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby assigns to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Secured Parties its right to indemnification under Article IX of the Sale Agreement. The Borrower confirms that the Trustee, on behalf of, and acting at the direction of, the Secured Parties shall, have the sole right
following the occurrence of a Termination Event to enforce the Borrowers rights and remedies under the Sale Agreement and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

Section 2.15. Replacement and Removal of Loans.

(a) Replacement of Loans. On any day prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event (and on and after the Termination Date at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), the Borrower may, subject to the
conditions set forth in this Section 2.15 and subject to the other restrictions contained herein, replace any Loan then included in the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance with one or more Eligible Loans (each, a Substitute
Loan); provided that no such replacement shall occur unless each of the following conditions is satisfied as of the date of such replacement:

(i) the Borrower or the Servicer has recommended to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Trustee) in writing that the Loan to be replaced should be replaced (each a Replaced Loan);

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

(iii) after giving effect to such replacement, the Availability is greater than or equal to $0;

(iv) solely in the case of replacements pursuant to Section 2.15(b), the sum of the Outstanding Loan Balances of all such Substitute Loans
to be substituted on such date shall be greater than or equal to the sum of the Outstanding Loan Balances of all Replaced Loans to be replaced on such date;

(v) the Collateral Quality Tests and Portfolio Acquisition and Disposition Requirements shall have been satisfied;

(vi) all representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 shall be true and correct;

(vii) such replacement shall not cause a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event to occur;



81



---

(viii) the sum of the Outstanding Loan Balances of all Loans that are Substitute Loans conveyed pursuant
to this Section 2.15(a) (together with Loans sold to an Affiliate of the Borrower in Discretionary Sales pursuant to Section 2.17) shall not exceed, at any date of determination, 20% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance at such
date of determination, or, in the case of Delinquent Loans, Charged-Off Loans, Loans that have a material covenant default, Loans which have become subject to a Material Modification or are otherwise entered into due to an Obligors inability
to pay principal or interest under such Loan, 10% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance at such date of determination;

(ix) no selection
procedure (other than compliance with the definition of Eligible Loan or the concentration limits set forth in the definition of Aggregate Excess Concentration Amount) adverse to the interests of the Secured Parties shall have been utilized by the
Borrower in the selection of the Replaced Loan or the Substitute Loan; and

(x) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and
the Trustee on the date of such replacement a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that each of the foregoing is true and correct as of such date.

In addition, the Borrower shall in connection with such replacement deliver within two (2) Business Days to the Trustee the related Required Loan Documents.

(b) Removal or Replacement of Warranty Loans. If on any day a Loan is (or becomes) a Warranty Loan, no later than two (2) Business Days
following the earlier of knowledge by the Borrower of such Loan becoming a Warranty Loan or receipt by the Borrower from the Administrative Agent or the Servicer of written notice thereof, the Borrower (subject to Section 2.15(d)), shall
either: (a) make a deposit to the Collection Account (for allocation pursuant to Section 2.7 or Section 2.8, as applicable) in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Outstanding Loan
Balance of each such Warranty Loan on such date, (ii) any outstanding Servicer Advances thereon, (iii) any accrued and unpaid interest, and (iv) 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 Hedging Agreement (collectively, the Retransfer Price); or (b) subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 2.15(a),
substitute for such Warranty Loan a Substitute Loan. In either of the foregoing instances, the Borrower may (in its discretion) accept retransfer of each such Warranty Loan and any Related Security and the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by the
Outstanding Loan Balance of each such Warranty Loan and, if applicable, increased by the Outstanding Loan Balance of each Substitute Loan. Upon confirmation of the deposit of such Retransfer Price into the Collection Account or the delivery by the
Borrower of a Substitute Loan for each Warranty Loan (the Retransfer Date), such Warranty Loan shall not be included in the Borrowing Base (and, if and when the Borrower retransfers such Warranty Loan to or at the direction of the
Originator, the Collateral) and, as applicable, the Substitute Loan shall be included in the Collateral. Upon the Retransfer Date of each Warranty Loan, the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall (if and when the Borrower retransfers such
Warranty Loan to or at the direction of the Originator) automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer, assign and set-over to the Originator, which the Borrower hereby irrevocably directs, without recourse, representation or
warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in, to and under such Warranty Loan and all future monies due or



82



---

to become due with respect thereto, the Related Security, all Proceeds of such Warranty Loan, Recoveries and Insurance Proceeds relating thereto, all rights
to security for any such Warranty Loan, and all Proceeds and products of the foregoing. The Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall (if and when the Borrower retransfers such Warranty Loan to or at the direction of the Originator), at the
request and sole expense of the Servicer, execute such documents and instruments of transfer, assignment and release as may be prepared by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower and take other such actions as shall reasonably be requested by the
Borrower or Servicer to effect the transfer of such Warranty Loan pursuant to this Section 2.15(b) and the release of the Lien of this Agreement with respect thereto.

(c) Reduction or Increase of the Borrowing Base. The Borrowing Base shall be reduced by the Outstanding Loan Balance of each such Replaced Loan or
Warranty Loan, as the case may be, and, if applicable, increased by the Outstanding Loan Balance of each Substitute Loan. Upon confirmation from the Servicer to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to Trustee) of the deposit of such Removal Price
into the Collection Account or the delivery by the Borrower of a Substitute Loan to the Trustee for each Replaced Loan or Warranty Loan, as the case may be, such Replaced Loan or Warranty Loan, as the case may be, shall be removed from the Aggregate
Outstanding Loan Balance (and all calculations hereunder with respect thereto) and, as applicable, the Substitute Loan shall be included in the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance (and all calculations hereunder with respect thereto); provided
that no such removal of a Replaced Loan or Warranty Loan shall affect any inclusion of said Loan in any calculation for periods prior to the removal date; and provided further that unless and until a Replaced Loan or Warranty Loan is
transferred to the Originator or another Person as permitted hereunder, such Replaced Loan or Warranty Loan shall continue to be included in the Collateral.

(d) Retention of Warranty Loans. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.15 to the contrary, for so long as the Availability is greater than or equal to $0, the Borrower shall not be required to
retransfer a Loan that is or becomes a Warranty Loan and may retain such Loan in the Collateral, except that such Warranty Loan shall not be included in the Borrowing Base, and except that the Borrower shall be required to retransfer a Loan that is
or becomes a Warranty Loan if the retention of such Loan in the Collateral would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 2.16. Optional Sales.

(a) Prior to the occurrence of an Unmatured Termination Event or a Termination
Event, on any Optional Sale Date, the Borrower shall have the right to prepay all or a portion of the Advances Outstanding in connection with the release by the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, of its security interest in all or a portion
of the Collateral, as the case may be (each, an Optional Sale), subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) The
Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, shall have given the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Trustee) at least 10 Business Days prior written notice of its intent to effect an Optional Sale, unless such notice requirement is waived or

(ii) Any Optional Sale shall be in connection with a Term Securitization;

(iii) Unless an Optional Sale is to be effected on a Payment Date (in which case the relevant calculations with respect to such Optional Sale shall be
reflected on the applicable Servicing Report), the Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Trustee) a certificate and evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent
(which evidence may consist solely of a certificate from the Servicer) that the Borrower shall have sufficient funds on the related Optional Sale Date to effect the contemplated Optional Sale in accordance with this Agreement. In effecting an
Optional Sale, the Borrower may use the Proceeds of dispositions of the Loans to repay all or a portion of the Aggregate Unpaids;

the Optional Sale plus (C) an aggregate amount equal to the sum of all other Aggregate Unpaids due and owing to the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents, each applicable Lender, the Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Affected Parties, the
Indemnified Parties and the Hedge Counterparties, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent accrued to such date; provided that the Administrative Agent and each Lender Agent shall have the right
to determine whether the amount paid (or proposed to be paid) by the Borrower on the Optional Sale Date is sufficient to satisfy the requirements of clauses (A) through (C) and is sufficient to reduce the Advances Outstanding
to the extent requested by the Borrower in connection with the Optional Sale; and

(vi) On or prior to each Optional Sale Date, the
Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a list specifying all Loans to be sold and assigned pursuant to such Optional Sale.

any Optional Sale (including, but not limited to, expenses incurred in connection with the release of the Lien of the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured
Parties, and any other party having an interest in the Collateral in connection with such Optional Sale).

Section 6.4. Collection of Payments.

(a) Collection Efforts; Modification of Collateral. The Servicer will collect, or cause to be collected, all payments called for under the terms
and provisions of the Loans included in the Collateral as and when the same become due in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and the Servicing Standard, 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 would impair in any material respect the collectibility of the Collateral or in
any manner contrary to the Credit and Collection Policy and the Servicing Standard. In addition, the Servicer may not waive, modify or otherwise vary any provision of any Eligible Loan or permit any such waiver, modification or other variance to
occur in any manner that would result in such Loan ceasing to qualify as an Eligible Loan (such waiver, modification or variance, a Warranty Modification).

(b) Prepaid Loan. Prior to a Termination Event, the Servicer may not voluntarily permit a Loan to become a Prepaid Loan in whole or in part,
unless (i) the Servicer provides a Substitute Loan in accordance with Section 2.15 or (ii) such prepayment will not result in the Collection Account receiving an amount (the Prepayment Amount) less than the
sum of (A) the Outstanding Loan Balance (or portion thereof to be prepaid) on the date of such payment, (B) any outstanding Servicer Advances on the amount prepaid, (C) any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, 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 Loan becoming a Prepaid Loan. After a
Termination Event has occurred, the Servicer may not voluntarily permit a Loan to become a Prepaid Loan in whole or in part unless the Servicer collects an amount equal to the sum of (1) the Outstanding Loan Balance (or portion thereof to be
prepaid) on the date of such prepayment, (2) any outstanding Servicer Advances on the amount prepaid, (3) any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and (4) 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 Collateral becoming a Prepaid Loan.

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

(d) Taxes and other Amounts. The Servicer will use its best efforts to collect all payments with respect to amounts due for taxes, assessments
and insurance premiums relating to each Loan to the extent required to be paid to Borrower for such application under the Underlying Instruments and remit such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or insurer as required by the
Underlying Instruments.

(e) Payments to Concentration Account. On or before the applicable Funding Date, the Servicer shall have
instructed all Obligors to make all payments in respect of the Collateral directly to the Concentration Account, provided that the Servicer is not required to so instruct any Obligor which is solely a guarantor unless and until the Servicer
calls on the related guaranty.

(f) Accounts. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (i) each Account shall be deemed
to be a Securities Account and (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee shall be exclusively entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each Financial Asset held in each Account. Each of the parties hereto
hereby agrees to cause the Trustee, or any other Securities Intermediary that holds any money or other property for the Borrower in an Account to agree with the parties hereto that (A) the Cash and other property (subject to
Section 6.4(g) below with respect to any property other than investment property, as defined in Section 9-102(a)(49) of the UCC) is to be treated as a Financial Asset under Article 8 of the UCC and (B) the securities
intermediarys jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) for that purpose shall be the State of New York. In no event may any Financial Asset held in any Account be registered in the name of, payable to the order
of, or specially indorsed to, the Borrower, unless such Financial Asset has also been indorsed in blank or to the Trustee or other Securities Intermediary that holds such Financial Asset in such Account.

(g) Underlying Instruments. Notwithstanding any term hereof (or any term of the UCC that might otherwise be construed to be applicable to a
securities intermediary as defined in the UCC) to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor any Securities Intermediary shall be under any duty or obligation in connection with the acquisition by the Borrower, or the Grant by the Borrower to
the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, of any Loan in the nature of a loan or a participation in a loan to examine or evaluate the sufficiency of the documents or instruments delivered to it by or on behalf of the Borrower under the
related Underlying Instruments, or otherwise to examine the Underlying Instruments, in order to determine or compel compliance with any applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including any necessary consents). The Trustee shall hold
any Instrument delivered to it evidencing any Loan Granted to the Trustee hereunder as trustee and custodial agent for the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(h) Establishment of the Collection Account. The Servicer shall cause to be established, on or before the Closing Date, with the Trustee, and
maintained in the name of the Borrower, subject to the lien of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a segregated corporate trust account entitled Collection Account for NewStar DB Term Funding LLC, subject to the lien of U.S.
Bank National Association, as Trustee for benefit of the Secured Parties (the Collection Account), and the Servicer shall further cause to be maintained two subaccounts linked to and constituting part of the Collection
Account for the purpose of segregating, within two Business Days of the receipt of any Collections, Principal Collections (the Principal Collections Account) and Interest Collections (the Interest Collections
Account), respectively, over which the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties shall have control and from which none of the Originator, the Servicer or the Borrower shall have any right of withdrawal except in accordance with
Section 2.7(b).

(i) Establishment of the Reserve Account. The Servicer shall cause to be established, on or before the
Closing Date, with the Trustee, and maintained in the name of the Borrower, subject to the lien of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a segregated corporate trust account entitled Reserve Account for NewStar DB Term Funding
LLC, subject to the lien of U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for benefit of the Secured Parties (the Reserve Account).



124



---

(j) Establishment of the Revolving Collections Account. The Servicer shall cause to be
established, on or before the Facility Termination Date, with the Trustee, and maintained in the name of the Borrower, subject to the lien of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a segregated corporate trust account entitled
Revolving Collections Account for NewStar DB Term Funding LLC (the Revolving Collections Account). During an Amortization Period not caused by an Early Amortization Event (and for so long as no Early Amortization Event has
occurred and is continuing) collections of principal on Revolving Loans that are not Delinquent Loans or Charged-Off Loans shall be deposited into the Revolving Collections Account to fund advances on such Revolving Loans in an amount not to exceed
the aggregate Outstanding Loan Balances of such Revolving Loans owned by the Borrower as of the last day of the Revolving Period; provided that if Interest Collections are insufficient to pay the amounts set forth in
Section 2.8(a)(i) through (ix) the Servicer shall instead cause all collections of principal on such Revolving Loans to be deposited into the Principal Collections Account until such amounts are paid in full.

(k) 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.

Section 6.5. Servicer Advances.

(a) The Servicer shall make Servicer Advances (subject in all cases to Section 6.5(b) with respect to any Nonrecoverable Advances) with
respect to all customary, reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with:

(i) any enforcement, administrative or judicial proceedings, or any necessary legal work or advice specifically related to servicing the
Loans, including but not limited to, bankruptcies, condemnations, foreclosures by subordinate lienholders, legal costs associated with preparing powers of attorney, and other legal actions incidental to the servicing of the Loans (provided that such
expenses are reasonable and that the Servicer specifies the Loan(s) to which such expenses relate); and

(ii) all ground
rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rates and other charges, as applicable, that are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property, and all fire, flood, hazard and other insurance coverage (in each case to the extent required to be paid
by the Obligor under the Underlying Instruments and to the extent required in this Agreement, including renewal payments).



125



---

With respect to any costs described in clauses (i) and (ii) above and to the
extent the related Loan File does not provide for escrow payments or the Servicer determines that any such payments have not been made by the related Obligor, the Servicer shall effect timely payment of all such expenses before they become
delinquent if the Servicer shall have or should have had knowledge based on the Servicing Standard of such nonpayment by the Obligor before it becomes delinquent, and, otherwise, the Servicer shall effect immediate payment of all such expenses which
it has knowledge or should have knowledge based on the Servicing Standard have become delinquent. The Servicer shall make Servicer Advances from its own funds to effect such payments, but only to the extent it does not deem such an advance, if made,
a Nonrecoverable Advance, and shall be reimbursed therefor in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Servicer may make Servicer Advances from its own funds to effect Scheduled Payments or if the Servicer shall determine that the payment of
any such amount is (i) necessary or appropriate to preserve the Related Property or (ii) would be in the best interest of the Borrower and the Secured Parties, then the Servicer may make a Servicer Advance in respect of such amount, but
only to the extent that it does not deem such an advance, if made, a Nonrecoverable Advance, and the Servicer shall be reimbursed therefor in accordance with the Priority of Payments). The Servicer will deposit any Servicer Advances relating
to Scheduled Payments into the Collection Account on or prior to 9:00 a.m. on the Business Day prior to the related Payment Date, in immediately available funds.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Servicer shall not be required to make any Servicer Advance that it determines in its reasonable, good faith judgment would constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that the Servicer may make a Servicer Advance notwithstanding that, at the time such Servicer Advance is made, the Servicer may not have adequate information available in order to make a determination whether
or not such advance would, if made, be a Nonrecoverable Advance. In addition, Nonrecoverable Advances (including any Servicer Advances made pursuant to the proviso of the preceding sentence which are ultimately determined to be Nonrecoverable
Advances) shall be reimbursable in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 6.6. Realization upon Related Property of
Charged-Off Loans; REO Loans.

(a) Realization upon Mortgaged Property of Charged-Off Loans. The Servicer will use reasonable
efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to foreclose upon or repossess, as applicable, or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Related Property relating to a Charged-Off Loan as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made
for collection of delinquent payments. The Servicer will comply with the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicing Standard and Applicable Law in realizing upon such Related Property, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts
to enforce all obligations of Obligors foreclosing upon, repossessing and causing the sale of such Related Property at public or private sale in circumstances other than those described in the preceding sentence. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, unless the Administrative Agent has specifically given instruction to the contrary, the Servicer may cause the sale of any such Related Property to the Servicer or its Affiliates for a purchase price equal to the then fair market
value thereof, any such sale to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to the Administrative Agent setting forth the Loan, the Related Property, the sale price of the Related



126



---

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 foreclosure or repossession of such Related Property unless it reasonably determines that such repair and/or foreclosure or repossession will increase the
Recoveries by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The 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 Loan.

(b) Realization on REO Loans. Title to any REO Loan shall be taken in the name of an REO Subsidiary which will enter into a joinder agreement or
mortgage whereby such REO Loan will be subjected to a lien and security interest in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder. The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to sell any REO Loan as soon as practicable with
due consideration to the Servicing Standard, and shall act in accordance with the Servicing Standard in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any REO Loan, including the collection of all
amounts payable in connection therewith. The Servicer may auction the REO Loan to the highest bidder (which may be the Servicer) in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Servicer shall give the Administrative Agent not less than five
days prior written notice of its intention to sell any REO Loan, and in respect of such sale, the Servicer shall offer such REO Loan in a commercially reasonable manner. Where any Interested Person is among those bidding with respect to an REO
Loan, the Servicer shall require that all bids be submitted in writing and be accompanied by a refundable deposit of cash in an amount equal to 5% of the bid amount. If the Servicer intends to bid on any REO Loan, (i) the Servicer shall notify
the Administrative Agent of such intent, (ii) the Servicer shall obtain an Appraisal of such REO Loan and (iii) the Servicer shall not bid less than the fair market value set forth in such Appraisal.

(c) No Recourse. Any sale of an REO Loan shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Trustee, the Originator, the
Servicer, the Borrower or the related REO Subsidiary.

(d) Limitation of Sales and Purchases. The Servicer may sell or purchase, or
permit the sale or purchase of, REO Loan only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 6.6.

Section 6.7. Maintenance of Insurance Policies.

(a) Other than with respect to Third Party Serviced Loans, the
Servicer shall use its best efforts to cause each Obligor required to do so pursuant to the related Underlying Instruments to maintain in respect of the related Mortgaged Property all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage;
provided that if any Mortgage permits the holder thereof to dictate to the Obligor the insurance coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall impose such insurance requirements as are consistent with the Servicing
Standard and the Credit and Collection Policy. If an Obligor fails to maintain such insurance, the Servicer shall (to the extent available at commercially reasonable terms as reasonably determined by the Servicer, which shall be entitled to rely on
an opinion of counsel or insurance consultants in making such determination) obtain such insurance (which may be through a master or single interest policy) and the cost (including any deductible relating to such insurance and any out-of-



127



---

pocket cost incurred by the Servicer in obtaining advice of counsel or insurance consultants) of such insurance (or in the case of a master or single
interest policy, the incremental cost (including any deductible relating to such insurance) of such insurance relating to the specific Mortgaged Property), shall be a Servicer Advance and shall be reimbursable to the Servicer in accordance the
Priority of Payments); provided that the Servicer shall not be required to incur any such cost if such Servicer Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained for each REO Loan (to the
extent available at commercially reasonable terms) no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Obligor under the related Mortgage or as is consistent with the Servicing Standard and the Credit and Collection Policy.

(b) If at any time a Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified in the Flood Hazard Boundary Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards or it becomes located in such area by virtue of remapping conducted by such agency (and flood insurance has been made available), the Servicer shall, if and to the extent that the
Loan requires the Obligor or permits the mortgagee to require the Obligor to do so, use its best efforts to cause the related Obligor to maintain a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guideline of the Federal Insurance
Administration in the maximum amount of insurance coverage available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as amended, unless otherwise specified
by the related Loan. If (i) the Obligor is required by the terms of the Loan to maintain such insurance (or becomes obligated by virtue of the related Mortgaged Property becoming located in such area by virtue of such remapping) or
(ii) the terms of the Loan permit the mortgagee to require the Obligor to obtain such insurance, the Servicer shall promptly notify the Obligor of its obligation to obtain such insurance. If the Obligor fails to obtain such flood insurance
within 120 days of such notification, the Servicer shall obtain such insurance, the cost of which shall be a Servicer Advance and shall be reimbursable to the Servicer in accordance with the Priority of Payments; provided that the Servicer
shall not be required to incur any such cost if such Servicer Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(c) All Insurance
Policies maintained by the Servicer shall (i) contain standard mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Servicer on behalf of the Secured Parties (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of Loans other than REO Properties),
(ii) be in the name of the Servicer on behalf of the Secured Parties in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties, (iii) include coverage in an amount not less than the lesser of (A) the full replacement cost of
the improvements securing the Mortgaged Property or the REO Loan, as applicable, or (B) the outstanding principal balance owing on the related Loan or REO Loan, as applicable, and in any event, the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any
co-insurance provisions, (iv) include a replacement cost endorsement providing no deduction for depreciation (unless such endorsement is not permitted under the related Loan documents), (v) be noncancellable without 30 days prior
written notice to the insured party (except in the case of nonpayment, in which case such policy shall not be cancelled without 10 days prior notice) and (vi) be issued by a Qualified Insurer authorized under applicable law to issue such
Insurance Policies. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Loan or amounts to be released to the related Obligor, in each
case in accordance with Applicable Law,



128



---

the terms of the related Underlying Instruments and the Servicing Standard) shall be deposited in the Collection Account. Any cost incurred by the Servicer
in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for purposes hereof, be added to the outstanding principal balance of the related Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Loan so permit, but shall be reimbursable by the Servicer as a Servicer
Advance in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(d) If the Servicer obtains and maintains with a Qualified Insurer a blanket policy
insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgaged Properties and/or REO Properties for which it is responsible to cause the maintenance of insurance hereunder, then, to the extent such policy provides protection equivalent to the individual
policies otherwise required, the Servicer, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause hazard insurance to be maintained on such Mortgaged Properties and/or REO Properties. Such policy may contain a deductible clause (not
in excess of a customary amount), in which case the Servicer (if it is also the Originator) shall, if there shall not have been maintained on a Mortgaged Property or an REO Loan a hazard insurance policy complying with the requirements of this
Section 6.7, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, promptly deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of
such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Loan, or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the
Servicing Standard. The Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, claims under any such blanket policy maintained by it in a timely fashion in accordance with the
terms of such policy.

(e) If the Servicer causes any Mortgaged Property or REO Loan to be covered by a master force placed insurance
policy issued by a Qualified Insurer, which provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations to cause hazard insurance to be maintained on such
Mortgaged Properties and/or REO Properties. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer (if it is also the Originator) shall, in the event that (i) there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Loan a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of this Section 6.7, and (ii) there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a policy had it been maintained, deposit into the
Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under such policy because of such deductible to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Loan, or, in the absence of
any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, claims
under any such blanket policy maintained by it in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

(f) The Servicer shall
maintain any required insurance coverage hereunder during any servicing transition in order to prevent a lapse in insurance coverage.

Section 6.8. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

(a) To the extent any Loan contains an enforceable due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance clause, the Servicer shall
enforce such clause unless the Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it would be in the best interest of the Secured Parties to waive any such clause. If the Servicer is unable to enforce any such due-on-sale
or due-on-encumbrance clause or if no such clause is applicable or the Servicer determines that such clause should be waived, the Servicer shall enter into an assumption agreement with the Person to whom such property has been conveyed
or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the promissory note and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and the related Mortgage, the Obligor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is also authorized to
enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Obligor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as the Obligor and becomes liable under the promissory note; provided that
such substitute Obligor must satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the related Underlying Instruments as a condition to approval of a Borrower on a new Loan substantially similar to such Loan; and provided furtherthat if such
original Obligor was required to be a single purpose entity, such substitute Obligor shall be required, but only in such circumstances, to be a single purpose entity.

(b) To the extent any Loan contains a clause granting a right of assumption to a qualified substitute Obligor upon the sale, conveyance or transfer of
the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall enter into an assumption agreement with such qualified substitute Obligor, pursuant to which such substitute Obligor becomes liable under the promissory note. If any Person other than the Obligor
has, pursuant to the related Underlying Instruments, undertaken to indemnify the mortgagee and, in connection with an assumption of the type referred to in the preceding sentence, the related Underlying Instruments permit a substitution of such
third party indemnitor by a qualified substitute indemnitor, the Servicer shall enter into an assumption of liability agreement with such qualified substitute indemnitor, pursuant to which such substitute indemnitor becomes liable under the relevant
indemnification obligations. The Servicer is also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such substitute Obligor, pursuant to which the original Obligor is released from liability and such substitute Obligor is
substituted as the Obligor and becomes liable under the promissory note; provided that, such substitute Obligor must satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the related Underlying Instruments or the underwriting requirements
customarily imposed by the Servicing Standard and the Credit and Collection Policy as a condition to approval of a Borrower on a new Loan substantially similar to such Loan.

(c) The Servicer shall retain as additional servicing compensation any fee collected for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default,
breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any conveyance by an Obligor of a Mortgaged Property or any assumption of a Loan by operation of Applicable Law that the Servicer in good faith determines it may be restricted
by Applicable Law from preventing.

Section 6.9. Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its servicing activities
hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive the (a) Senior Servicing Fee provided that it shall be entitled to receive such fee from Collections only to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant
to the provisions of the Priority of Payments, and (b) the Subordinated Servicing Fee provided that it shall be entitled to receive such fee from Collections only to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to the provisions of the
Priority of Payments.

Section 6.10. 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 its independent accountants, Taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred by the Servicer 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 Borrower, but excluding Servicer Advances and Liquidation Expenses incurred as a result of activities contemplated by
Section 6.6; provided that for avoidance of doubt, to the extent Servicer Advances and 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 Accounts and the Concentration Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained
in this Section 6.10 shall prohibit the Borrower from reimbursing the Servicer for expenses incurred by it hereunder provided such amounts are paid from amounts permitted to be released under this Agreement to the Borrower.

Section 6.11. Reports.

(a) Borrowing Notice. On each Funding Date, on each reduction of Advances Outstanding pursuant to Section 2.4(b) and on each reinvestment of Principal Collections pursuant to Section 2.7(b), the Borrower (and
the Servicer on its behalf) will provide a Borrowing Notice, updated as of such date, to the Administrative Agent and each Lender Agent (with a copy to the Trustee and Backup Servicer).

(b) Servicing Report. On each Reporting Date, the Servicer will provide to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Lender Agent, the Trustee

form of Exhibit C hereto (as such form may be amended from time to time by such changes as are mutually agreeable to the Servicer and the Administrative Agent) and, in addition, a Borrowing Base calculated as of the most recent Measurement
Date.

(c) Servicers Certificate. Together with each Servicing Report, the Servicer shall submit to the Administrative Agent,
each Lender Agent, the Trustee, the Backup Servicer and any Liquidity Bank, a certificate (a Servicers Certificate) signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer and substantially in the form of Exhibit J.

commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, consolidated and consolidating audited financial statements of the Servicer, audited by a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants, as of the end of such fiscal year;
provided that so long as the Servicer is required under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to file its financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is in compliance with such requirements, the foregoing
requirement to provide such financial statements hereunder shall not apply. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Backup Servicer shall have no duty to review any of the information set forth in such financial statements.

(e) Tax Returns. Upon demand by the Administrative Agent, each Lender Agent and any Liquidity Bank, the Servicer shall deliver copies of all
federal, state and local Tax returns and reports filed by the Borrower and Servicer (if it is an Affiliate of the Borrower) for the current or preceding calendar year, or in which the Borrower or Servicer was included on a consolidated or combined
basis (excluding sales, use and like taxes).

to the Administrative Agent, each Lender Agent, the Backup Servicer and the Trustee, 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 activities of the Servicer, and the Servicers performance pursuant to this Agreement, for the fiscal period ending on the last day of such fiscal year has been made
under such Persons supervision and (b) the Servicer has performed or has caused to be performed in all material respects all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year and no Servicer Default has occurred and is
continuing.

Section 6.13. Annual Independent Public Accountants Servicing Reports. The Servicer (so long as it is
the Originator) will cause a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer) to furnish to the Administrative Agent, each Lender Agent, the Trustee and the Backup Servicer, within 90
days following the end of each fiscal year 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 is of the opinion that the Servicing Reports for such year were prepared in compliance with this Agreement, except for such exceptions as it
believes to be immaterial and such other exceptions as will be set forth in such firms report and (ii) a report covering such fiscal year to the effect that such accountants have applied certain agreed-upon procedures (a draft of which
procedures are attached hereto as Schedule IX, it being understood that the Servicer and the Administrative Agent will provide an updated Schedule IX reflecting any further changes relating to such Schedule IX prior to the
issuance of the first such agreed-upon procedures report) to certain documents and records relating to the Collateral under any Transaction Document, compared the information contained in the Servicing Reports and the Servicers Certificates
delivered during the period covered by such report with such documents and records and that no matters came to the attention of such accountants that caused them to



132



---

believe that such servicing was not conducted in compliance with this Article VI, except for such exceptions as such accountants shall believe to be
immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.

Section 6.14. Limitation on Liability of the
Servicer and Others. Except as provided herein, the Servicer shall not be under any liability to the Administrative Agent, each Lender Agent, the Trustee, the Secured Parties or any other Person for any action taken or for refraining from
taking 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 of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of its willful misconduct hereunder.

Section 6.15. The Servicer Not to Resign. The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except
upon the Servicers determination that (a) the performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable Law and (b) there is no reasonable action that the Servicer could take to make the performance of its

---

as of such date plus (ii) an amount equal to any unreimbursed Servicer Advances (but solely to the extent of Collections received from time to
time in respect of the Loan for which such Servicer Advance was made) which remain outstanding as of such date. The Administrative Agent may at the time described in the immediately preceding sentence in its sole discretion, appoint the Backup
Servicer as the Servicer hereunder with respect to the servicing of the Collateral, 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

and Subordinated Servicing Fee, together with other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise as provided herein; including 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 or unwilling 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 and each Lender Agent. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not accepted

$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 6.17(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 without gross negligence 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 2.12, Section 2.13(b),

---

Section 2.13(e) and Section 13.9, of this Agreement shall not apply to it in its capacity as Servicer. The Backup Servicer (including
in its role as Servicer, if so appointed) shall not be responsible for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, perfection or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the Collateral except that the Backup Servicer (including
in its role as Servicer, if so appointed), at the request and expense of the Administrative Agent, shall file any continuation statements as may be required to maintain the perfection of the security interest granted herein.

(c) All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of the Servicer as
Servicer under this Agreement and shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer and, without limitation, the Successor Servicer 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 terminated Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Successor
Servicer 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 6.17, the Backup Servicer will promptly begin the transition to its role as Servicer. In the
event the Backup Servicer declines to continue to act as Servicer hereunder, the Backup Servicer shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from banks, specialty finance companies, asset managers, mortgage servicing institutions meeting the
qualifications set forth in Section 6.17(a). Such public announcement shall specify that the Successor Servicer shall be entitled to the full amount of the Senior Servicing Fee and Subordinated 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 servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder to a qualified party acceptable to the Administrative Agent submitting a 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 Servicer 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. If no bid from a qualified
potential Successor Servicer is received or if no sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder shall have been concluded within 30 days after such public announcement, 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 the Administrative Agent) so appointed shall be entitled to receive the Senior Servicing Fee and Subordinated 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 Transition Expenses. The Backup Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to



136



---

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 each Lender 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 US Bank in any capacity or Lyon be liable for any Senior Servicing Fee, Subordinated Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of
the Senior Servicing Fee or Subordinated 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.

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

(i) The Trustee shall take and retain custody of the Required Loan Documents delivered by
the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all for the benefit of the Secured Parties and subject to the Lien thereon in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured
Parties. Within five Business Days of its receipt of any Required Loan Documents, the Trustee shall review the related Required Loan Documents (as identified on the related Loan Checklist) to confirm (A) that, such documents have been properly
executed and have no missing or mutilated pages, (B) that, as identified on the Loan Checklist, there is evidence in the file that UCC and other filings (required by the Required Loan Documents) have been made, (C) that, if listed on the
Loan Checklist, an Insurance Policy exists with respect to any real or personal property constituting the Related Property, and (D) the related principal balance of the Loan as of the date of its inclusion in the Collateral (as reflected in the

for which it has received Required Loan Documents is less than as set forth on the electronic file, the Trustee shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent and the Servicer of such discrepancy, and (2) any Review Criteria is not
satisfied, the Trustee shall within one Business Day notify the Servicer of such determination and provide the Servicer with a list of the non-complying Loans and the applicable Review Criteria that they fail to satisfy. The Servicer agrees to

treated as a Warranty Loan for purposes of Section 2.15.

(ii) In taking and retaining custody of the Required
Loan Documents, the Trustee shall be deemed to be acting as the agent of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties; provided that the Trustee makes no representations as to the existence, perfection or priority of any Lien on the
Required Loan Documents or the instruments therein; and provided further that the Trustees duties as agent shall be limited to those expressly contemplated herein.

(iii) All Required Loan Documents shall be kept in fire resistant vaults, rooms or cabinets at the locations specified on Schedule
III attached hereto, or at such other office as shall be specified to the Administrative Agent and the

Servicer by the Trustee in a written notice delivered at least 45 days prior to such change. All Required Loan Documents shall be placed together with an
appropriate identifying label and maintained in such a manner so as to permit retrieval and access. All Required Loan Documents shall be clearly segregated from any other documents or instruments maintained by the Trustee.

(iv) On each Reporting Date, the Trustee shall provide a written report to the Administrative Agent and the Servicer (in a form acceptable
to the Administrative Agent) identifying each Loan for which it holds Required Loan Documents, the non-complying Loans and the applicable Review Criteria that any non-complying Loan fails to satisfy.

Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer and the Trustee via e-mail certain asset level information, which shall include but not be limited to the following information: (A) for each Loan, the name and number of the related Obligor, the
collection status, the loan status, the date of each Scheduled Payment, as applicable, and the Outstanding Loan Balance, (B) the Borrowing Base and (C) the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance and such other items as may reasonably be
expected in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(vi) Promptly after receipt thereof, the
Trustee shall provide to the Servicer a copy of all written notices and communications identified as being sent to it in connection with the Collateral held hereunder which it receives from the related Obligor, participating bank and/or agent bank.
In no instance shall the Trustee be under any duty or obligation to take any action on behalf of the Servicer (or Borrower) in respect of the exercise of any voting or consent rights, or similar actions, unless it receives specific written
instructions from the Servicer, prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event or the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence of a Termination Event, in which event the Trustee shall vote, consent or take such other action in accordance with such
instructions.

(vii) In performing its duties, the Trustee shall use the same degree of care and attention as it employs
with respect to similar collateral that it holds as Trustee for others.

(c) Additional Duties. On or before the initial Funding
Date, and until its removal pursuant to Section 8.5 (after which the successor Trustee shall perform the duties of the Trustee hereunder), the Trustee shall perform, on behalf of the Borrower and the Servicer, the following duties and
obligations:

(i) No later than 11:00 a.m. on each Business Day, the Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer either via e-mail
or via the Trustees Internet website a daily cash availability report which will detail all cash receipts with respect to the Loans received as of the close of business of the prior Business Day, identifying which portion thereof
constitutes Interest Collections, which portion



143



---

thereof constitutes Principal Collections and any other amounts received not classified as either Interest Collections or Principal Collections. No later
than the close of business on the Business Day the Servicer receives such a daily cash availability report, the Servicer shall review the same and identify any discrepancies between the cash receipts shown on the Trustees daily cash
availability report and the cash receipts relating to the Loans shown on the WSO System. Thereafter the Trustee and the Servicer will cooperate to promptly resolve any discrepancies.

(ii) The Trustee shall provide a list of all Required Loan Documents held in custody by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement to the
Administrative Agent on at least a monthly basis, either via e-mail or via the Trustees Internet website.

The Trustee shall make payments pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Report in accordance with the Priority of Payments (the Payment Duties).

Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Trustee 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 Trustee as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Trustee or the Administrative Agent deems necessary in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security
interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including the execution by the Trustee as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or
amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Loans now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. Nothing in this

statements in respect of the Collateral in accordance with Section 5.4(e).

(ii) The Administrative Agent may
direct the Trustee to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Trustee hereunder, the Trustee shall not be required to take any such incidental action

taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Trustee, (A) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (B) shall expose the Trustee to liability hereunder or otherwise
(unless it has received a reasonably satisfactory indemnity with respect thereto). In the event the Trustee requests the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Trustee does not receive a response (either consenting or declining to consent) from
the Administrative Agent with 10 Business Days of its receipt of such request, then the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.

(iii) Except as expressly provided herein, the Trustee shall not be under any duty or obligation to take any affirmative action to
exercise or enforce any power, right or remedy available to it under this Agreement or any of the Required Loan Documents (A) unless and until expressly so directed by the Administrative Agent or (B) prior to the occurrence of the
Termination Date pursuant to clause (d) of the definition of Termination Date (and upon such occurrence, the Trustee shall act in accordance with the written instructions of the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause
(A)). The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provided such Secured Party has the right to so direct the
Trustee, or the Administrative Agent. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including a Termination Event, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of such matter or written notice
thereof is received by the Trustee.

Trustee may be merged or consolidated, (b) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or (c) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Trustee substantially as a whole, which Person in any of
the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Trustee hereunder, shall be the successor to the Trustee under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.

Section 8.4. Trustee Compensation. As compensation for its Trustee activities hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to a fee (the

receive the unpaid balance of its Trustee Fee to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to the Priority of Payments. The Trustees entitlement to receive the Trustee Fee shall cease on the earlier to occur of: (a) its removal as
Trustee pursuant to Section 8.5 or (b) the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.5. Trustee
Removal. The Trustee may be removed, with or without cause, by the Administrative Agent by notice given in writing to the Trustee (the Trustee Termination Notice); provided that notwithstanding its receipt of a

shall continue to act in such capacity until a successor Trustee has been appointed, has agreed to act as Trustee hereunder, and has received all Required
Loan Documents held by the previous Trustee.

Section 8.6. Limitation on Liability.

(a) The Trustee undertakes to perform only such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, it being expressly understood by

directors, employees or agents shall be liable, directly or indirectly, for any damages or expenses arising out of the services performed under this Agreement other than damages or expenses (i) unrelated to its Payment Duties that result from

the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent and the Trustee each agree to look only to the Servicer to perform such obligations. The Trustee shall have no responsibility and shall not be in default hereunder or incur any liability for any
failure, error, malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of its duties under this Agreement if such failure or delay results from the Trustee acting in accordance with information prepared or provided by a Person other than the Trustee or the
failure of any such other Person to prepare or provide such information. The Trustee shall have no responsibility, shall not be in default and shall incur no liability for (i) any act or failure to act of any third party, including the
Servicer, (ii) any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication received by the Trustee from any third party, (iii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Collateral under Applicable Law, (iv) the breach or inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty made with respect to any Collateral, or (v) the acts or omissions of any successor Trustee.

Trustee may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, telegram or other document delivered to it and that in good faith it reasonably believes to be genuine and that has
been signed by the proper party or parties. The Trustee may rely conclusively on and shall be fully protected in acting upon (i) the written instructions of any designated officer of the Administrative Agent or (ii) the verbal instructions
of the Administrative Agent.

(d) The Trustee 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 with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(e) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for 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 Loan Documents.

(f) The Trustee makes no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or
transferability of the Collateral, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity or value (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) of any of the Collateral. The Trustee shall not be obligated to take
any legal action hereunder that might in its judgment involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it.

(g) The Trustee shall have no duties or responsibilities except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement
against the Trustee.

(h) The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds in the performance of its duties hereunder.

obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Collateral.

(j) In case any reasonable question arises as to its duties
hereunder, the Trustee may, prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event or the Termination Date, request instructions from the Servicer and may, after the occurrence of a Termination Event or the Termination Date, request instructions from the
Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the Servicer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, except where it would be grossly negligent to do so. The
Trustee shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Administrative Agent. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or
damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Section 8.7. The Trustee Not to Resign. Except with the consent of the Administrative Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
the Trustee shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon the Trustees determination that (a) the performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable



147



---

Law and (b) there is no reasonable action that the Trustee could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under Applicable Law.
Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Trustee shall be evidenced as to clause (a) above by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Lender Agent. No such resignation shall
become effective until a successor Trustee shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Trustee hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no successor Trustee may be appointed unless such successor
Trustee meets the requirements of Section 26(a)(1) of the 1940 Act and provides a representation to this effect, reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.8. Release of Documents.

(a) Release for Servicing. From time to time and as appropriate for the enforcement or servicing of any of the Collateral, the Trustee is hereby authorized (unless and until such authorization is revoked by the
Administrative Agent), upon written receipt from the Servicer of a request for release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H, to release to the Servicer the related Required Loan Documents or the documents set forth
in such request and receipt to the Servicer. All documents so released to the Servicer shall be held by the Servicer in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer shall
return to the Trustee the Required Loan Documents or other such documents (i) immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, or (ii) when the Servicers need therefor in connection with such foreclosure or servicing no
longer exists, unless the Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of an additional request for release of documents and receipt certifying such liquidation from the Servicer to the Trustee in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit
H, the Servicers request and receipt submitted pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection shall be released by the Trustee to the Servicer.

(b) Limitation on Release. The foregoing provision respecting release to the Servicer of the Required Loan Documents and documents by the Trustee upon request by the Servicer shall be operative only to the
extent that at any time the Trustee shall not have released to the Servicer active Required Loan Documents (including those requested) pertaining to more than 15 Loans at the time being serviced by the Servicer under this Agreement. Any additional
Required Loan Documents or documents requested to be released by the Servicer may be released only upon written authorization of the Administrative Agent. The limitations of this paragraph shall not apply to the release of Required Loan Documents to
the Servicer pursuant to the immediately succeeding subsection.

(c) Release for Payment. Upon receipt by the Trustee 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 Trustee shall promptly release the related Required Loan Documents to the Servicer.

Section 8.9. Return of Required Loan Documents. The Borrower may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), require that the Trustee
return each Required Loan Document (a) delivered to the



148



---

Trustee in error, (b) for which a Substitute Loan has been substituted in accordance with Section 2.15, (c) as to which the lien on the
Related Property has been so released pursuant to Section 9.2, (d) that has been replaced by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15, (e) that has been the subject of an Optional Sale pursuant to
Section 2.16, (f) that has been the subject of a Discretionary Sale pursuant to Section 2.17, or (g) that is required to be redelivered to the Borrower in connection with the termination of this Agreement, in each
case by submitting to the Trustee and the Administrative Agent a written request in the form of Exhibit H hereto (signed by both the Borrower 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 Trustee shall upon its receipt of each such request for return executed by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent promptly, but in any event within five Business Days, return the Required Loan Documents so requested to the Borrower.

Section 8.10. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Collateral; Audits. The Trustee shall provide to the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer, and each Lender Agent access to the Required Loan
Documents and all other documentation regarding the Collateral including in such cases where the Administrative Agent and each Lender Agent is required in connection with the enforcement of the rights or interests of the Secured Parties, or by
applicable statutes or regulations, to review such documentation, such access being afforded, at Borrowers expense, but only (a) upon two Business Days prior written request, (b) during normal business hours and (c) subject to
the Servicers and Trustees normal security and confidentiality procedures. Prior to the Closing Date and periodically thereafter at the discretion of the Administrative Agent and each Lender Agent, the Administrative Agent and each
Lender 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 and the Servicing Standard, as well as with this Agreement and may
conduct an audit of the Collateral and Required Loan Documents in conjunction with such a review. Such review shall be reasonable in scope and shall be completed in a reasonable period of time. Prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event or an
Unmatured Termination Event, the Servicer shall be required to bear the expense of no more than one such review within any 12-month period and any additional reviews shall be at the expense of the Administrative Agent and each Lender Agent
(provided that in the event Lyon becomes the Successor Servicer such reviews shall be limited to twice per any 12-month period but only upon two Business Days prior written notice to Lyon). On and after the occurrence of a Termination
Event or an Unmatured Termination Event, the Servicer shall be required to bear the expense of all such reviews. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.10, from time to time on request of the Administrative Agent,
the Trustee 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 Loan Documents and all other documentation regarding the Collateral.

all of the Borrower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 Borrower, and wherever the same
may be located, to secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Aggregate Unpaids of the Borrower 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 all Aggregate Unpaids. The Trustee acknowledges such grant, accepts the trust hereunder in accordance
with the provisions hereof and agrees to hold the Collateral in trust as provided herein. The grant of a security interest under this Section 9.1 does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the
Trustee, the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents, any Hedge Counterparty, the Liquidity Banks or any of the Secured Parties of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Person in connection with any or all of the Collateral or under any
agreement or instrument relating thereto. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the
same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under the
Collateral, and (iii) none of the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents, any Hedge Counterparty, the Liquidity Banks or any Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the
Trustee, the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents, any Hedge Counterparty, the Liquidity Banks or any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce
any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

(b) Each of the Borrower, the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agents, on behalf
of the Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees that the security interest granted hereby in the Collateral constitutes continuing collateral security for all of the obligations of the Borrower arising in connection with this Agreement and
each other Transaction Document, whether now existing or hereafter arising.

(c) Each of the parties to this Agreement and each Hedge
Counterparty (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) hereby acknowledges and agrees as follows:

(i) Each of the
Administrative Agent, each Lender Agent and each other Secured Party hereby transfers and assigns to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, its entire right, title and interest in and to the Collateral to the extent previously sold,
transferred, assigned or conveyed by sale, grant of a security interest, or otherwise, to it on and after the Closing Date to and including



150

the date of this Agreement so that the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the benefit of a perfected security interest in the Collateral
and the Hedge Collateral from and including the date such Collateral or Hedge Collateral, as applicable, first became Collateral or Hedge Collateral, as applicable, hereunder to but excluding the date of the release of any such Collateral or Hedge
Collateral, as applicable, from the Lien of this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement.

(ii) The Administrative Agent
hereby transfers and assigns to the Trustee its entire right, title and interest as Conduit Administrative Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement.

Administrator or Trustee thereunder, such references are hereby deemed to refer to the Trustee hereunder for all purposes hereunder or thereunder.

accordance with Section 2.15, (d) such Loan has been the subject of an Optional Sale pursuant to Section 2.16, (e) such Loan has been the subject of a Discretionary Sale pursuant to Section 2.17, or
(f) this Agreement terminates in accordance with Section 13.6, the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties will, to the extent requested by the Servicer, release its interest in such Collateral. In connection with any sale of
such Related Property, the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties will after the deposit by the Servicer of the Proceeds of such sale into the Collection Account, at the sole expense of the Servicer, execute and deliver to the Servicer any
assignments, bills of sale, termination statements and any other releases and instruments as the Servicer may reasonably request in order to effect the release and transfer of such Related Property;providedthat the Trustee for the benefit
of the Secured Parties will make no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such Related Property in connection with such sale or transfer and assignment. Nothing in this section shall diminish the Servicers
obligations pursuant to Section 6.6 with respect to the Proceeds of any such sale.

Section 9.3. Further
Assurances. The provisions of Section 13.12 shall apply to the security interest granted under Section 9.1 as well as to the Advances hereunder.

Section 9.4. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have, with
respect to the Collateral granted pursuant to Section 9.1, and in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties under this Agreement or other Applicable Law, all rights
and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC, subject to the provisions of Section 10.2(c) and Section 10.2(d).

Section 9.5. Waiver of Certain Laws. Each of the Borrower and the Servicer agrees, to
the fullest extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any
locality where any Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession
thereof, immediately after such sale, of the Lenders thereof, and each of the Borrower and the Servicer, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the fullest extent that it may be lawful so to do, the
benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, or any court having jurisdiction to
foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such parcels as the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, or such court may determine.

Section 9.6. Protection of Collateral; Acknowledgment of Pledge.

prior to all other liens in respect of the Collateral (other than Permitted Liens), and the Borrower shall take all actions necessary to obtain and maintain, in favor of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a first lien on and a
first priority, perfected security interest in the Collateral. The Borrower shall from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and authorize or execute, as applicable, and deliver all such financing statements,
continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action necessary or advisable to:

(i) maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and the priority thereof) of this Agreement or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof, including by making the necessary filings of financing statements

authorize and/or execute any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument required by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 9.6 in accordance with Section 9.7 hereof. The right provided to the Trustee in the

result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified
Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents, the Trustee or the Backup Servicer and the termination of this Agreement.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

AND LENDER
AGENTS

Section 12.1. The Administrative Agent.

(a) Appointment. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and hereby
further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each of the Lender Agents and each Secured Party. Each Lender Agent and 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 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 Lender Agents may direct the Administrative Agent to take
any such incidental action hereunder.

(b) 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 Lender Agents; 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 Lender Agent or a Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten Business Days of such Persons receipt of such request, then such Lender Agent or Lender
shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant amendments.

(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



161



---

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 Borrower 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

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

(e) Indemnification of the
Administrative Agent. Each Lender Agent and Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Servicer), ratably in accordance with its Pro-Rata Share from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating
to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder; provided that the Lender Agents shall not be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agents gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender
Agent and Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its Pro-Rata Share promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other



162

Transaction Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Lender Agents, or the Lenders

notice thereof to each Lender Agent and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with cause by the Lender Agents acting jointly. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Lender Agents acting jointly shall appoint a successor Administrative
Agent. Each Lender Agent 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. Unless specifically allocated to a specific Lender Agent pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Agents shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lender Agents in accordance with their respective Pro-Rata Shares in the applicable Advances Outstanding, or
if there are no Advances Outstanding in accordance with the most recent applicable Commitment, on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 p.m. on such Business Day, in which case the
Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to each Lender Agent on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such Lender Agent not later than the following Business Day.

Section 12.2. Lender Agents.

(a) Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints the relevant Lender Agent designated in the related Transferee Letter or Assumption Agreement, as applicable, to act as its agent hereunder and under each other
Transaction Document, and authorizes such Lender Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Lender Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. No Lender Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or



163



---

in any other Transaction Document, or any fiduciary relationship with such related Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities on the part of such Lender Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist for such Lender Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other
Transaction Documents, each Lender Agent shall act solely as agent for the related Lender and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Borrower or the Servicer or any of
the Borrowers or the Servicers successors or assigns. No Lender Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes the Lender Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or
Applicable Law. The appointment and authority of each Lender Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Aggregate Unpaids. Each Lender Agent hereby authorizes the Trustee (acting at the direction of the
Administrative Agent) to file each of the UCC financing statements on behalf of such Lender Agent (the terms of which shall be binding on such Lender Agent).

(b) Delegation of Duties. Any of the Lender Agents may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to
advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Lender Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

(c) Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Lender Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any
action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except for its, their or such Persons own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or
(ii) responsible in any manner to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or the Servicer contained in Article IV, any other Transaction Document or any certificate, report, statement
or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any
other Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith, or for any failure of the Borrower or the Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified
in this Agreement, or for the perfection, priority, condition, value or sufficiency of any collateral pledged in connection herewith. No Lender Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or the Servicer. No Lender Agent shall be deemed to
have knowledge of any Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event unless such Lender Agent has received notice from the Borrower or the related Lender.

(d) Reliance by Lender Agent. Each Lender Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Lender Agent. Each Lender Agent shall in
all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under



164



---

this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the related Lender as it deems appropriate and
it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by such Lender; provided that unless and until such Lender Agent shall have received such advice, the Lender Agent may take or refrain from taking any action, as the Lender Agent shall deem
advisable and in the best interests of the Related Lender. Each Lender Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of the related Lender, and such request and any action taken or
failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon such Lender.

(e) Non-Reliance on Lender Agent. Each Lender expressly
acknowledges that neither any Lender 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 such Lender Agent hereafter taken, including any
review of the affairs of the Borrower or the Servicer, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Lender Agent. Each Lender represents and warrants to the related Lender Agent that it has made and will make, independently
and without reliance upon such Lender Agent, such Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other
conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto.

(f) Lender Agent in its Individual Capacity. Each Lender Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in
any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as though such Lender Agent were not an Lender Agent hereunder. With respect to Advances pursuant to this Agreement, each Lender Agent shall have the same rights and powers
under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Lender Agent, and the terms Lender, and Lenders, shall include the Lender Agent in its individual capacity.

(g) Successor Lender Agent. Each Lender Agent may, upon five days notice to the Borrower, and the related Lender, and such
Lender Agent will, upon the direction of such Lender (other than such Lender Agent, in its individual capacity) resign as Lender Agent. If any Lender Agent shall resign, then the related Lender during such five day period shall appoint a successor
agent. If for any reason no successor Lender Agent is appointed by the related Lender during such five day period, then effective upon the termination of such five day period, the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids
or any other amounts that are owed to the Administrative Agent directly to such Lender, and for all purposes shall deal directly with such Lender. After any retiring Lender Agents resignation hereunder as an Lender Agent, the provisions of
Articles XI and XII shall inure to its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Lender Agent under this Agreement.

each Liquidity Bank, each Lender, the Trustee and the Back-Up Servicer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) they shall have recourse only to the assets and the other Collateral of the Borrower from time to time in respect of any claim, action,
demand or right arising in respect of, or against, the Borrower; and (ii) none of Administrative Agent, any Lender Agent, any Liquidity Bank, any Lender, the Trustee or the Back-Up Servicer shall have in any circumstance any recourse to the

partners, employees or agents, and its Affiliates (excluding the Borrower), and in no event shall any such Person be held liable, personally or otherwise, with respect to any obligations under this Agreement, whether by virtue of any statute or rule

and filed, and at all times to be kept, recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties hereunder, to all property comprising the Collateral. The Servicer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as
soon as available following such recording, registration or filing. The Borrower shall cooperate fully with the Servicer in connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the
intent of this Section 13.12(a).

(b) The Borrower agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and
deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Advances hereunder and the security interest granted in the Collateral, or to

(ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent an opinion of
the counsel for Borrower, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, confirming and updating the opinion delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to perfection and otherwise to the effect that the
security interest hereunder continues to be an enforceable and perfected security interest, subject to no other Liens of record except as provided herein or otherwise permitted hereunder, which opinion may contain usual and customary assumptions,
limitations and exceptions.
