NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of November 19, 2008 (as amended, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time, this Agreement), by and among NEWSTAR WAREHOUSE FUNDING 2005 LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company, as issuer (Issuer), NEWSTAR FINANCIAL, INC., a Delaware corporation, as seller (in such capacity, Seller) and as servicer (in such capacity, Servicer), each
of the INVESTORS from time to time party hereto (together with their respective successors and assigns, each an Investor and collectively, Investors), each of the LIQUIDITY BANKS from time to time party hereto
(together with their respective successors and assigns, each a Liquidity Bank and collectively, Liquidity Banks) and CITICORP NORTH AMERICA, INC., as administrative agent for the Investors and the Liquidity
Banks (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the Note Purchaser Agent).

The parties hereto agree
as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

SECTION 1.01 Certain Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the
meanings set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement. Such Appendix A also contains rules as to usage applicable to this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

RESTATEMENT CLOSING; PURCHASES OF INCREMENTAL NOTE BALANCES;

INTEREST RATE HEDGES

SECTION 2.01
Restatement Closing. The closing (the Restatement Closing) of the execution of the Basic Documents shall take place at the offices of Kaye Scholer LLP, 425 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022 on November 19, 2008, or
if the conditions to closing set forth in Section 4.01 of this Agreement shall not have been satisfied or waived by such date, as soon as practicable after such conditions shall have been satisfied or waived, or at such other time, date
and place as the parties shall agree upon (the date of the Restatement Closing being referred to herein as the Restatement Date). On the Restatement Date, Issuer shall have delivered to the Note Purchaser Agent, on behalf of the
New Note Purchaser, and the New Note Purchaser shall have acquired from Issuer, the New Note, substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit A, having (i) an aggregate initial Note Balance equal to the Incremental Note Balance to be
acquired on the Restatement Date and (ii) a maximum Note Balance of $300,000,000.

SECTION 2.02 Requests for Purchases of
Incremental Note Balances.

(a) At any time during the Revolving Period, no later than 2:00 p.m. New York time at least one
(1) Business Day prior to a proposed Funding Date, to the extent that the sum of the aggregate outstanding Note Balance of the Notes (after giving effect to the proposed



1



---

purchase) plus the Aggregate L/C Amount is less than the Note Purchase Obligation Limit, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in
accordance with the other Basic Documents applicable thereto, Issuer may request that New Note Purchaser purchase Incremental Note Balances in a minimum daily amount of $1,000,000 (each such request, a Notice of Incremental Note
Balance) by delivery of (i) a request to the Note Purchaser Agent in the form attached as Exhibit B, (ii) a Borrowing Base Certificate in the form attached as Exhibit C (which may be delivered as a part of the
Notice of Incremental Note Balance) and (iii) such additional information as may be reasonably requested by the Note Purchaser Agent. No later than 12:00 p.m., New York Time, on each Funding Date or other Purchase Date, the Issuer shall
deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Note Purchaser Agent and the Custodian, with respect to any Purchased Assets to be included in the Borrowing Base for purposes of such Funding Date or other Purchase Date, (A) the First Deliverable
Documents, (B) documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Note Purchaser Agent evidencing that, to the extent not reflected in the related Loan Assignment Document, the Required Consents, if any, have been obtained and (C) in the case of
the purchase of an Incremental Note Balance as to which all or a portion of the proceeds will be applied by the Issuer to satisfy its reimbursement obligations pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement with respect to any Letter of Credit that has
been drawn, evidence satisfactory to the Note Purchaser Agent in its sole discretion that the Issuer is entitled to a reimbursement right in like amount pursuant to the Loan Documents relating to the Related Loan (which may include a certification
by the Servicer to the Note Purchaser Agent to such effect); provided, that the requirement in this sentence shall be, in the case of a Pre-Funded Purchased Asset, subject to Section 2.02(c).

(b) No later than 4:00 p.m., New York Time, on the proposed Funding Date identified in the Notice of Incremental Note Balance, subject to compliance with
this Section 2.02 and, subject to and in reliance upon the other terms, conditions, covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and in the other Basic Documents, Investors may in their sole discretion purchase
the Incremental Note Balance requested in the Notice of Incremental Note Balance, and if Investors do not purchase the entire amount of such Incremental Note Balance, the Liquidity Banks shall purchase, ratably in accordance with their Liquidity
Bank Commitments, the entire amount of such Incremental Note Balance not purchased by the Investors by payment to or at the direction of the Issuer (or, in the case of a Pre-Funded Purchased Asset, to the Holding Account in accordance with
Section 2.02(c)) of a purchase price (each, a Note Purchase Price) equal to the amount of such Incremental Note Balance (the date on which any such purchase occurs, a Funding Date) as provided in
Section 3.01(c). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no Investor shall purchase any Incremental Note Balance at any time if, after giving effect
thereto, the outstanding principal amount of Incremental Note Balances purchased by the Investors would exceed the Investor Purchase Limit, and (ii) no Liquidity Bank shall be obligated to purchase any Incremental Note Balance at any time if,
after giving effect thereto, the outstanding principal amount of Incremental Note Balances purchased by such Liquidity Bank would exceed such Liquidity Banks Liquidity Bank Commitment then in effect.

(c) Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 2.02(a), in the case of a Purchased Asset to be included in the Borrowing Base for purposes
of any Funding Date that is originated on or around such Funding Date, such that it is commercially impracticable to deliver the First Deliverable Documents on such Funding Date (any such Asset, a Pre-Funded Purchased Asset), the
First Deliverable Documents instead may be delivered in accordance with



2



---

the procedures set forth in this Section 2.02(c). In the case of a Pre-Funded Purchased Asset, subject to all of the conditions to purchase of
Incremental Note Balance set forth in this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, save for the delivery of the First Deliverable Documents on the Funding Date, one or more New Note Purchasers or the Note Purchaser Agent on behalf of New Note
Purchasers shall deposit the amount of the related Note Purchase Price into the Holding Account. Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of notice from the Custodian that the Custodian has received from the Seller the First Deliverable Documents with
respect to the applicable Purchased Asset, and so long as the Indenture Trustee has not received notice that an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or the conditions to funding hereunder otherwise have not
been satisfied, the Indenture Trustee shall make available to the Issuer in same day funds, at such bank or other location reasonably designated by the Issuer in the Notice of Incremental Note Balance delivered pursuant to
Section 2.02(a), the funds held in the Holding Account in respect of such Purchased Asset; provided, however, that in the event that such First Deliverable Documents are delivered to the Custodian after 4:30 p.m., or such
later time as the Indenture Trustee may agree, on any day, the Indenture Trustee shall make such funds available to the Issuer on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, further, that in the event that the applicable First
Deliverable Documents with respect to any such Purchased Asset are not delivered to the Custodian (with a copy to the Note Purchaser Agent) within two Business Days of the Funding Date, the Indenture Trustee shall cause the funds on deposit in the
Holding Account in respect of such Purchased Asset to be paid to New Note Purchasers or the Note Purchaser Agent on behalf of New Note Purchasers who deposited such funds, pro rata, as a prepayment of principal of the Notes, in reduction of
the Note Balance, unless both the Note Purchaser Agent and the Issuer direct the Indenture Trustee to retain such funds in the Holding Account for a longer period of time and specify the end date of such period. Any investment earnings on amounts on
deposit in the Holding Account shall be deposited into the Interest Collection Subaccount to be applied as a part of Collections on the related Payment Date in accordance with the Indenture. The Seller shall provide copies of the First Deliverable
Documents with respect to any Pre-Funded Purchased Asset to the Note Purchaser Agent, simultaneously with the delivery of such documents to the Indenture Trustee.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement or any other Basic Document to the contrary, (i) nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Basic Document shall constitute a commitment by an
Investor to purchase any Incremental Note Balances and (ii) no Investor shall be liable to make any payments under this Agreement or any other Basic Document (all liability with respect to which shall be an obligation of the Liquidity Banks).

SECTION 2.03 Annual Credit Review. Upon the Issuers request, made not more than 60 days prior to the then Scheduled
Termination Date, each Liquidity Bank shall present the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents (including risks to such Liquidity Bank relating to (i) the Notes held by the Note Purchaser Agent on behalf of New Note Purchasers,
(ii) such Liquidity Banks obligations to purchase Incremental Note Balances under this Agreement and (iii) the Issuing Banks continued willingness and ability to issue, or continue to issue, Letters of Credit in the manner
contemplated by Section 2.07) to its credit committee (such process, the Annual Credit Review). If each Liquidity Banks credit committee approves the continuation of the Revolving Period (which approval may be withheld
or granted in the sole discretion of such committee) prior to the end of the then current



3



---

Revolving Period, then the Annual Credit Review will have been completed in a satisfactory manner and the Revolving Period will be renewed for an additional
term of 364 days pursuant to Section 2.7(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement; otherwise, the Revolving Period shall terminate pursuant to the proviso to Section 2.7(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. No later than 45 days
prior to each Scheduled Termination Date, each Liquidity Bank will inform the Seller, Servicer and Issuer of the status of the Annual Credit Review. Not later than the earlier to occur of (i) two Business Days following the completion of each
Annual Credit Review and (ii) the last Business Day of the Revolving Period, each Liquidity Bank will notify Seller, Servicer and Issuer as to whether or not the Revolving Period has been terminated. If any Liquidity Bank does not provide such
notice within the time period described in the preceding sentence, then the Revolving Period shall terminate on the last day of the current Revolving Period, unless Liquidity Banks having aggregate Liquidity Bank Commitments equal to the Investor
Purchase Limit shall agree to renew the Revolving Period.

SECTION 2.04 Interest Rate Hedges. Issuer may enter into Interest Rate
Hedges from time to time with respect to any Eligible Asset that bears interest at a fixed rate; provided, however, that Issuer shall enter into, and Servicer shall cause Issuer to enter into, an Interest Rate Hedge only if
(i) Issuer has delivered, or caused to be delivered, a complete set of the final documents with respect to such Interest Rate Hedge (including the identity of the related Hedge Counterparty) and (ii) the Note Purchaser Agent has delivered
to Issuer its prior written consent to the Issuers entering into such Interest Rate Hedge (which consent may be delivered or withheld in the reasonable discretion of the Note Purchaser Agent). Issuer shall not amend, waive, terminate, increase
or decrease the notional balance of, or otherwise modify the terms of, any Interest Rate Hedge, unless the Note Purchaser Agent has delivered its prior written consent thereto (which consent may be delivered or withheld in the reasonable discretion
of Note Purchaser Agent). Note Purchaser Agent shall not be responsible for, and shall have no liability to Issuer, Indenture Trustee, Seller or Servicer for, any approval of the terms of, or failure to approve any Interest Rate Hedge, the
Issuers entry into, or failure to enter into any Interest Rate Hedge, or the structure or terms of any Interest Rate Hedge.

SECTION
2.05 Unused Fee. The Note Purchaser Agent shall be entitled to receive from Issuer, and Issuer shall pay to the Note Purchaser Agent for distribution to New Note Purchasers, the Unused Fee Amount on each Payment Date.

SECTION 2.06 Intentionally Omitted

SECTION 2.07 Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Basic
Documents and subject to Applicable Law, the Note Purchaser Agent agrees to cause Letters of Credit payable in United States Dollars to be issued by the Issuing Bank from time to time after the Restatement Date and during the Revolving Period upon
the request of the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, provided, however, that:

(i) the Servicer, on behalf of
the Issuer, shall not request that any Letter of Credit be issued (and the Note Purchaser Agent shall not be required to cause



4



---

any Letter of Credit to be issued) if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of the Note Balance plus the Aggregate L/C Amount would exceed the
Borrowing Base or the Note Purchase Obligation Limit;

(ii) such Letters of Credit shall be in the Issuing Banks
standard form (subject to such changes proposed by the prospective beneficiary thereof as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank) and shall be otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank and the Note
Purchaser Agent;

(iii) the Borrower shall not request that any Letter of Credit be issued (and the Note Purchaser Agent
shall not be obligated to cause any Letter of Credit to be issued) unless (i) the Issuer is required to cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit in like amount, to the applicable beneficiary and with like terms pursuant to the terms of the Loan
Documents with respect to any Purchased Loan Portion (and such issuance has been directed by the related Obligor or Agent in the manner set forth in such Loan Documents), (ii) each of the conditions to such issuance as are set forth in the
applicable Loan Documents have been satisfied (except, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent of any conditions that may have been waived by or on behalf of the Issuer with the prior written consent of the Note Purchaser Agent which
may be given or withheld in its sole discretion), (iii) such requested Letter of Credit shall be in an amount that is not less than $ 250,000, (iv) after giving effect to such issuance, the Aggregate L/C Amount would not exceed $25,000,000
and (v) such issuance would not cause the total L/C Amount with respect to any single Obligor (including any Affiliates thereof) to exceed $5,000,000 (except that the total L/C Amount for one Obligor, including any Affiliates thereof, at any
one time, may be up to $10,000,000); and

(iv) all conditions applicable to New Note Purchasers purchase of an
Incremental Note Balance (excluding any notice requirements) are satisfied with respect to the issuance of a Letter of Credit as if such request for issuance were a request for a purchase of an Incremental Note Balance (provided, that the
requirements set forth in Section 2.02 and clause (i) of Section 3.01 shall not be required to be satisfied, except to the extent of any such requirements as are specifically set forth in this Section 2.07).

(b) Whenever the Issuer desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, it shall deliver to the Note Purchaser Agent and the Issuing Bank
(A) a written notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (the Letter of Credit Request), no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance and
(B) a Borrowing Base Certificate in the form attached as Exhibit C (which may be delivered as a part of the Letter of Credit Request). Each Letter of Credit Notice shall specify (i) the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a
Business Day), (ii) the face amount of the Letter of Credit, (iii) the expiration date of the Letter of Credit and (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary. Upon request of the Note Purchaser Agent or the Issuing Bank, the Issuer
shall provide reasonable additional details regarding the proposed Letter of Credit, the related Purchased Loan Portion or the Related Loan. As soon as practicable after the giving of written notice of a request for the issuance of a Letter of
Credit, the Issuer shall specify a precise description of the documents and the verbatim text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit which, if presented by such beneficiary prior to the expiration date of the
Letter of Credit, would require the Issuing Bank to make payment under the Letter of Credit; provided, however, that (A) the Note



5



---

Purchaser Agent shall not be obligated to cause to be issued any Letter of Credit until the Note Purchaser Agent and the Issuing Bank have had a reasonable
time to review such documentation and (B) the Note Purchaser Agent or the Issuing Bank, in its reasonable discretion, may require customary and reasonable changes in any such documents and certificates or changes necessary to comply with the
terms of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Basic Document, nothing in this
Agreement or in any other Basic Document shall be deemed to give the Issuer or any other party any rights against the Issuing Bank with respect to the issuance or non-issuance of any Letter of Credit or otherwise, except as may be expressly set
forth in the Reimbursement Agreement.

(d) It shall be a condition to the issuance of the initial Letter of Credit pursuant to this
Section 2.07 that (i) the Issuing Bank shall have received an executed copy of the Reimbursement Agreement and (ii) all of the representations any warranties made by the Issuer therein and in the other Basic Documents shall be
true and correct in all material aspects.

(e) The Note Purchaser Agent shall determine in its reasonable discretion whether each of the
conditions to the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.07 have been satisfied and its determination shall be binding on the parties hereto.

(f) Citibank shall constitute the initial Issuing Bank. The Note Purchaser Agent may from time to time designate (by notice to the Issuer and the
Servicer) one or more other banks to issue Letters of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.07; provided, that, in the case of a bank that does not have a short-term unsecured debt rating of at least A-1 by S&P and at
least P-1 by Moodys, and a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least A+ by S&P and at least A1 by Moodys, such designation shall be subject to the prior consent of the Issuer (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Following any such designation, Issuing Bank shall be deemed to refer to such additional bank (as well as Citibank and any other banks previously so designated pursuant to this
Section 2.07(f)). At the direction of the Note Purchaser Agent, the Issuer shall enter into a reimbursement agreement with any additional bank designated pursuant to this Section 2.07(f) (provided, that such
reimbursement agreement is either (i) reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Issuer or (ii) substantially similar in form and substance to the initial Reimbursement Agreement with Citibank) and, thereafter,
Reimbursement Agreement shall be deemed to such additional reimbursement agreement entered into in connection with the designation of additional banks pursuant to this Section 2.07(f).

SECTION 2.08 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Breakage.

(a) If the Note Purchaser Agent, any New Note Purchaser, any entity which purchases a Note or enters into a commitment to purchase interests therein, or any of their respective Affiliates (each an Affected
Person) determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) or the occurrence of any Consolidation Event
(i) affects or would affect the amount of the capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any
commitment to make purchases of Incremental Note Balances or



6



---

to maintain its investment in the Note Balance or interests therein or upon the funding thereof, (ii) increases the cost of making or maintaining such
commitment under this Agreement or any Asset Purchaser Agreement or purchasing or maintaining any Note Balance or interest therein to any Affected Person or (iii) reduces the return of an Affected Person in connection with this Agreement or any
Asset Purchase Agreement then, upon demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Note Purchaser Agent), the Issuer shall immediately pay to the Note Purchaser Agent for the account of such Affected Person (as a third-party beneficiary), from
time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for such increase in capital, increased cost and/or reduced return in the light of such circumstances. A certificate as to such
amounts submitted to the Issuer and the Note Purchaser Agent by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements referred to in the definition of Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage)
after the Restatement Date in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any
increase in the costs to any New Note Purchaser of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of any Note Balance in respect of which interest is computed by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, then, upon demand by such New Note
Purchaser (with a copy to the Note Purchaser Agent), the Issuer shall immediately pay to the Note Purchaser Agent, for the account of such New Note Purchaser (as a third-party beneficiary), from time to time as specified by such New Note Purchaser,
additional amounts sufficient to compensate such New Note Purchaser for such increased costs. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Issuer and the Note Purchaser Agent by such New Note Purchaser shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) The Issuer agrees to pay each New Note Purchaser any breakage and related costs incurred by such New
Note Purchaser in connection with any reduction in the principal amount of any Note Balance (i) in respect of which interest is computed at the Investor Rate as to which the Issuer has not provided at least three Business Days prior
notice or (ii) in respect of which interest is computed at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, which is not made on the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

(d) If any Person requests compensation under this Section 2.08, then such Person shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different office for funding or booking its purchases hereunder or to assign
its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Person, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.08
and (ii) would not subject such Person to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Person. The Issuer hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Person in connection with
any such designation or assignment.

SECTION 2.09 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments and deposits required to be made hereunder or under any other Basic Document by the Servicer or the Issuer shall be made free and
clear of and



7



---

without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
excluding net income taxes that are imposed by the United States and franchise taxes and net income taxes that are imposed on an Affected Person by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Affected Person is organized or
any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as Taxes). If the Issuer or the Servicer shall be required by law to
deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Affected Person, the Issuer shall make an additional payment to such Affected Person, in an amount sufficient so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.09), such Affected Person receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. Within 30 days after the date of any such payment of
Taxes, the Issuer or the Servicer, as the case may be, will furnish to such Affected Person the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, the Issuer agrees to pay any present or future stamp or other documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under
any other Basic Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Basic Document (hereinafter referred to as Other Taxes).

(c) The Issuer will indemnify each Affected Person for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.09) paid by such Affected Person and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Taxes or
Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within thirty days from the date the Affected Person makes written demand therefor (and a copy of such demand shall be delivered to the Note Purchaser Agent). A
certificate as to the amount of such indemnification submitted to the Issuer and the Note Purchaser Agent by such Affected Person, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for and the calculation thereof, shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes absent manifest error.

(d) Each Affected Person which is organized outside the United States and which is entitled to an

remain unchanged, such New Note Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, and Issuer and Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with such New Note Purchaser and shall have no obligations to deal with any
Participant in connection with such New Note Purchasers rights and obligations under this Agreement.

sale or assignment is to an Eligible Assignee or (ii) such sale or assignment occurs following the occurrence of an Event of Default; provided, however, that this Section 11.04(d) shall not limit any New Note
Purchasers right to (i) transfer its interest in its Note in the form of a participation of an interest in its Note to a Participant pursuant to Section 11.04(b), (ii) pledge or grant a security interest in its Note or
its rights under this Agreement, any other Basic Document or its Asset Purchase Agreement to secure an indebtedness or other obligations of such New Note Purchaser (including, without limitation, obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank),
(iii) transfer its Note pursuant to a repurchase agreement or similar arrangement or (iv) if such assignor is an Investor, assign all or part of its rights and obligations herein (including ownership of all or a part of its Note),

(e) Notwithstanding Section 11.04(d), each Liquidity Bank may assign to any Eligible Assignee or to any other Liquidity Bank all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Liquidity Bank Commitment and its Note or interests therein owned by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment
shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations

assignee Liquidity Bank or other Eligible Assignee an equal percentage of its rights and obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement (or, if such assignor Liquidity Bank is Citibank, it shall arrange for such assignee Liquidity Bank or other
Eligible Assignee to become a party to the Asset Purchase Agreement for a maximum principal amount equal to the assignees Liquidity Bank Commitment). Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date
specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the
rights and obligations of a Liquidity Bank hereunder and (y) the assigning Liquidity Bank shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish such rights and
be released from such obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Liquidity Banks rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Liquidity Bank
shall cease to be a party hereto).

in the Note, (x) each Participant, successor or assign (other than a Federal Reserve Bank) shall agree to make the representations and warranties in Section 6.01(c) of this Agreement and (y) such New Note Purchaser or the Note
Purchaser Agent on behalf of such New Note Purchaser shall provide the Seller with notice of any such assignment or transfer.
