ESTABLISHMENT OF ISSUER; TRANSFER OF LOAN ASSETS


 


Section 2.01       Creation
and Funding of Issuer; Transfer of Loan Assets.


 


(a)              
The Issuer has been organized by the Originator pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Issuer LLC Agreement and the
Originator shall convey assets to the Issuer pursuant to the terms and provisions hereof. The Servicer is hereby specifically recognized
by the parties hereto as empowered to act on behalf of the Issuer in accordance with Section 5.02(g) and Section 5.02(h),
and to perform any other duties and obligations required to be performed by the Servicer under the Transaction Documents.


 


(b)              
Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, and in consideration of the Issuer’s delivery to or
upon the order of the Originator of the Initial Advance on the Closing Date, the Originator hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets
over and otherwise conveys to the Issuer all the right, title and interest of the Originator in and to the Initial Loan Assets.


 


To the extent the purchase
price paid to the Originator for any Loan Assets is less than the fair market value of such Loan Assets, the difference between
such fair market value and such purchase price shall constitute a capital contribution made by the Originator to the Issuer on
the Closing Date in the case of the Initial Loans and as of the related Transfer Date in the case of any Subsequent Loans or Substitute
Loans. For all purposes of this Agreement, any contributed Loan Assets shall be treated the same as Loan Assets sold for cash,
including without limitation for purposes of Section 11.01.


 


(c)              
The Originator acknowledges that the representations and warranties of the Originator in Section 3.01 through Section
3.04 will run to and be for the benefit of the Issuer and the Trustee, and the Issuer and the Trustee may enforce directly
the repurchase obligations of the Originator, with respect to breaches of such representations and warranties that materially and
adversely affect the interests of any Noteholder as set forth in this Agreement. Other than with respect to Section 12.02,
the repurchase obligation or substitution obligation of the Originator set forth in Section 11.01 constitutes the sole remedy
available for a breach of representation or warranty of the Originator in connection with the purchase of any Loan Asset.


 


(d)              
The sale, transfer, assignment, set-over and conveyance of the Loan Assets by the Originator to the Issuer pursuant to this
Agreement does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Issuer of any obligation of the
Originator in connection with the Loan Assets, or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including, without limitation,
(i) any obligation to any Obligor relating to any unfunded commitment from the Originator, (ii) any taxes, fees, or other charges
imposed by any Governmental Authority and (iii) any insurance premiums that remain owing with respect to any Loan Asset at the
time such Loan Asset is sold hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, (x) the Issuer does not assume any obligation to purchase
any additional notes or loans under agreements governing the Loan Assets and (y) the sale, transfer, assignment, set-over and conveyance
of the Loan Assets by the Originator to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute and is not intended to result
in a creation or an assumption by the Issuer of any obligation of the Originator as lead agent or collateral agent under any Agented
Loan or Co-Agented Loan.


 






    34


     


    

 


(e)               The
Originator and the Issuer intend and agree that (i) each transfer of the Loan Assets by the Originator to the Issuer
hereunder is intended to be a sale, conveyance and transfer of ownership of the Loan Assets, as the case may be, rather than
the mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing and (ii) such Loan Assets shall not be part of the
Originator’s estate in the event of a filing of a bankruptcy petition or other action by or against the Originator
under any Insolvency Law. In the event, however, that notwithstanding such intent and agreement, such transfers are deemed to
be a mere granting of a security interest to secure indebtedness, the Originator shall be deemed to have granted (and as of
the Closing Date hereby grants to) to the Issuer a perfected first priority security interest in all right, title and
interest of the Originator in all Loan Assets and the proceeds thereof and this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under Applicable Law, securing the repayment of the purchase price paid hereunder, the obligations and/or interests
represented by the Notes, in the order and priorities, and subject to the other terms and conditions of, this Agreement and
the Indenture, together with such other obligations or interests as may arise hereunder and thereunder in favor of the
parties hereto and thereto.

No optional sale of any Loan (to the Fund, any of its Affiliates or to third parties) pursuant to this Section 2.06
may be executed for a price less than the Transfer Deposit Amount of such Loan calculated as of the date of such sale; provided
that the price of a Defaulted Loan, Delinquent Loan or a Restructured Loan may be less than the Transfer Deposit Amount so long

Any such substitution shall be subject to the further limitations described in Section 2.10.

date later than the maturity date of the Loan that is being replaced.

Release of Excluded Property.


 


The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that the Loans acquired by the Issuer from the Originator do not include an interest in any Excluded Property.
To the extent any proceeds of Excluded Property are received by the Issuer or the Trustee, the Trustee hereby agrees to release
to the Originator, any amounts in respect of Excluded Property immediately upon identification thereof and upon receipt of an Officer’s
Certificate of the Servicer, which release shall be automatic and shall require no further act by the Trustee or the Issuer; provided
that the Trustee and Issuer shall execute and deliver such instruments of release and assignment or other documents, or otherwise
confirm the foregoing release, as may reasonably be requested by the Originator in writing.


 


Section 2.09       
Delivery of Documents in the Loan File.


 


(a)               Subject
to the delivery requirements set forth in Section 2.09(b), the Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Originator to
deliver possession of all the Loan Files to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf (with copies to be held by the
Servicer), on behalf of and for the account of the Noteholders. The Originator shall also identify on the List of Loans
(including any deemed amendment thereof associated with any Subsequent Loans or Substitute Loans), whether by attached
schedule or marking or other effective identifying designation, all Loans that are evidenced by such instruments.


 






    41


     


    

 


(b)              
With respect to each Loan in the Collateral, at least three Business Days before the Closing Date in the case of the Initial
Loans (or such lesser time as shall be acceptable to the Custodian) and on or before the related Transfer Date in the case of any
Subsequent Loans or Substitute Loans, the Originator shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, to the extent not
previously delivered, each of the documents in the Loan File with respect to such Loan, provided, however, that in those
instances where a copy of the Underlying Note was delivered to the Custodian as a Required Loan Document pursuant to clause (b)(i)(x)
of the definition of Required Loan Document, either the original or if accompanied by a “lost note” affidavit and indemnity,
a copy of the Underlying Note, in each case, endorsed by the prior holder of record either in blank or to the Issuer (and evidencing
an unbroken chain of endorsements from the prior holder thereof evidenced in the chain of endorsements to the Trustee), with any
endorsement to the Issuer to be in the following form: “Horizon Funding I, LLC,” will be delivered or caused to be
delivered within ten Business Days of the related Transfer Date.


 


Section 2.10       
Limitations on Optional Sale and Substitution.
The parties hereto hereby agree that:


 


(a)              
In no event may (a) the aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of Delinquent Loans and Restructured Loans optionally sold or
substituted by the Issuer hereunder exceed 7.5% of the then Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance, subject to the limitation in clause
(c) below on aggregate optional sales and substitutions with respect to all of the Loans, (b) the aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance
of Defaulted Loans sold or substituted by the Issuer exceed 7.5% of the then Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance, subject to the
limitation in clause (c) below on aggregate optional sales and substitutions with respect to all of the Loans, or (c) the aggregate
Outstanding Loan Balance of all Loans (including any Delinquent Loans, Restructured Loans or Defaulted Loans optionally sold or
substituted as described above) optionally sold or substituted by the Issuer for any reason exceed 15% of the then Aggregate Outstanding
Loan Balance. For the purpose of calculating the amount of the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance comprising Loans that are optionally
sold or substituted as described above, any Substitute Loans that have been placed into the Collateral in satisfaction of the Originator’s
obligations to repurchase or substitute loans pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be disregarded. Further, any Loan that is
sold to Persons other than the Originator or its Affiliates for the following reasons shall not be subject to any of the foregoing
limitations: (x) a Delinquent Loan, Restructured Loan (or a Loan determined by the Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard
should be restructured) or a Defaulted Loan where the Issuer has certified to the Trustee that it has determined in good faith
that the best recovery for such Loan is the sale of such Loan to a third party, (y) a Loan for which the Issuer has certified to
the Trustee that the terms of such Loan are subject to contractual purchase rights of third parties and such third party has exercised
such right, or (z) a Loan which is being refinanced and the Issuer has certified to the Trustee that the related Obligor or new
lender has requested that such Loan be sold to a third party for the purpose of refinancing such Loan.


 


(b)               The
parties hereto agree that (i) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and the Notes have been accelerated, the Issuer may
not exercise its option to sell or substitute Loans pursuant to Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 without the prior
written consent of the Majority Noteholders and (ii) if a Servicer Default shall have occurred, until such time as such
Servicer Default is no longer continuing, the Issuer (A) may not exercise its option to substitute Loans pursuant to Section
2.07 without the prior written consent of the Majority Noteholders and (B) may only sell a Loan pursuant to Section
2.06 if the price therefor is at least equal to the Transfer Deposit Amount of such Loan.


 






    42


     


    

 


Section 2.11       
Certification by Trustee and Custodian; Possession of Loan Files.


 


(a)              
Review; Certification. On or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of the Initial Loans) or the related Transfer
Date (in the case of any Subsequent Loans or Substitute Loans), the Custodian shall review the Required Loan Documents in the Loan
File that are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.09(b) on the Closing Date (in the case of the Initial Loans)
or the related Transfer Date (in the case of any Subsequent Loans or Substitute Loans), and shall deliver to the Issuer, the Originator,
the Trustee and the Servicer a certification and the Trustee shall deliver or make available electronically to any Noteholder who
requests a copy from the Trustee such certification, with respect to the Required Loan Documents delivered to it at such time in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit H-1 on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of the Initial Loans) or the related
Transfer Date (in the case of any Subsequent Loans or Substitute Loans). Within two Business Days after the Custodian receives
the Required Loan Documents in the Loan File that are permitted, pursuant to Section 2.09(b), to be delivered after the
Closing Date (in the case of the Initial Loans) or the related Transfer Date (in the case of any Subsequent Loans or Substitute
Loans), the Custodian shall deliver to the Originator, the Trustee and the Servicer a certification, and the Trustee shall deliver
or make available electronically to any Noteholder who requests a copy from the Trustee such certification, with respect to the
Required Loan Documents delivered to it at such time in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H-1, which updated certification
shall supplement any previous certification given. Within 90 days of the end of the calendar year immediately following the end
of the Investment Period, the Custodian shall deliver to the Originator, the Issuer, the Servicer and the Trustee, and the Trustee
shall deliver or make available electronically to any Noteholder who requests a copy from the Trustee a final certification in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit H-2 evidencing the completeness of the Loan Files with respect to the Required Loan
Documents with respect to all Loans. The Servicer shall provide notice of the end of the Investment Period to the Trustee and to
the Custodian if the Investment Period Termination Date will occur on any date other than June 1, 2020. Neither the Trustee nor
the Custodian makes representations as to (i) the validity, legality, sufficiency, enforceability or genuineness of any of the
documents, or (ii) the collectability, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any asset; and neither the Trustee nor the
Custodian has made any independent examination of any documents contained in each Loan File beyond the review specifically required
under the Transaction Documents.


 


(b)               Non-Conforming
Loan Files. If the Custodian during the process of reviewing the Loan Files finds any document constituting a part of a
Loan File which is not properly executed (if applicable), has not been received, is unrelated to a Loan identified in the
List of Loans, or does not conform on its face in any respect to the requirements of the definition of Loan File, or the
description thereof as set forth in the List of Loans, the Custodian shall promptly so notify the Originator and the Servicer
via delivery of the exception report attached to the related certification. In performing any such review, the Custodian may
conclusively rely on the Originator as to the purported genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. It is
understood that the scope of the Custodian’s review of the Loan Files is limited solely to confirming that the
documents listed in the definition of Required Loan Documents have been executed and received and relate to the Loans
identified in the List of Loans. The Originator agrees to use reasonable efforts to remedy any defect in a document
constituting part of a Loan File of which it is so notified by the Custodian via delivery of the exception report attached to
the related certification. If, however, within 30 days after the Custodian’s notice to it respecting such defect, the
Originator has not remedied the defect and such defect materially and adversely affects the value of the related Loan, such
Loan will be treated as an Ineligible Loan and the Originator shall (i) substitute in lieu of such Loan a Substitute Loan in
the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 11.01  or (ii) repurchase such Loan at a purchase price
equal to the Transfer Deposit Amount, which purchase price shall be deposited in the Collection Account within such 30-day
period.


 






    43


     


    

 


(c)              
Release of Entire Loan File upon Sale, Substitution or Repurchase. Subject to Section 5.08(a), upon receipt
by the Custodian of a certification of a Servicing Officer of the Servicer of such substitution or of such purchase and the deposit
of the amounts then required to be deposited as described in Section 2.05, Section 2.07, Section 2.11(b) or
Section 11.01, as applicable, in the Collection Account (which certification shall be in the form of Exhibit I hereto),
the Custodian shall release to the Servicer for release to the Originator or third party, as applicable, the related Loan File
and the Trustee and the Issuer shall execute, without recourse, and deliver such instruments of transfer necessary to transfer
all right, title and interest in such Loan to the Originator or third party, as applicable, free and clear of any Liens created
by the Transaction Documents. All costs of any such transfer shall be borne by the Originator.


 


(d)              
Partial Release of Loan File and/or Related Property. Subject to Section 5.08(b), if in connection with
taking any action in connection with a Loan (including, without limitation, the amendment to documents in the Loan File and/or
a revision to Related Property) the Servicer requires any item constituting part of the Loan File, or the release from the Lien
of the related Loan of all or part of any Related Property, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Custodian a certificate
to such effect in the form attached as Exhibit I hereto. Subject to Section 5.08(d), upon receipt of such certification,
the Custodian shall deliver to the Servicer within two Business Days of such request (if such request was received by 2:00 p.m.,
New York City time), the requested documentation, and the Trustee, upon a request made by the Servicer, shall execute, without
recourse, and deliver such instruments of transfer necessary to release all or the requested part of the Related Property from
the Lien of the related Loan and/or the Lien under the Transaction Documents.


 


(e)              
Annual Certification. Within 90 days of the beginning of each calendar year, commencing in 2019, the Custodian shall
deliver to the Originator, the Trustee and the Servicer a certification, and the Trustee shall deliver to any Noteholder who requests
a copy from the Trustee such certification, detailing all transactions with respect to the Loans for which the Custodian (on behalf
of the Trustee) holds the Loan Files pursuant to this Agreement during the prior calendar year. Such certification shall list all
Loan Files which were released by or returned to the Custodian during the prior calendar year, the date of such release or return
and the reason for such release or return (as identified on Exhibit I hereto relating to such release).

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


 


The Originator makes,
and upon each conveyance of Subsequent Loans or Substitute Loans, is deemed to make, the representations and warranties in Section
3.01 through Section 3.04, on which the Issuer will rely in purchasing the Initial Loan Assets on the Closing Date (and,
any Subsequent Loan Assets or Substitute Loan Assets on the relevant Transfer Date), and on which the Noteholders will rely.


 


Such representations
and warranties are given as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date (or Transfer Date, as applicable),
but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Loan Assets to the Issuer. Other than with respect to Section 12.02,
the repurchase obligation or substitution obligation of the Originator set forth in Section 11.01 constitutes the sole remedy
available for a breach of a representation or warranty of the Originator set forth in Section 3.01 through Section 3.04.


 


Section 3.01       
Representations and Warranties Regarding the Originator.
The Originator represents and warrants to the Issuer and the Trustee that:


 


(a)              
Organization and Good Standing. The Originator is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the power to own its assets and to transact the business in which
it is currently engaged. The Originator is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which
the character of the business transacted by it or properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification and in which the
failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise)
of the Originator.


 


(b)              
Authorization; Valid Sale; Binding Obligations. The Originator has the power and authority to make, execute, deliver
and perform this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and all of the transactions contemplated
under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and to create the Issuer and cause it to make,
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Issuer is a
party, and the Originator has taken all necessary limited liability company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to cause the Issuer to be created. This Agreement
shall effect a valid sale of the Loan Assets from the Originator to the Issuer and upon consummation of such sale, the Issuer will
have a perfected interest in such Loan Assets of first priority. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the
Originator is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Originator enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms, except as enforcement of such terms may be limited by applicable Insolvency Laws and general principles of equity,
whether considered in a suit at law or in equity.


 


(c)               No
Consent Required. The Originator is not required to obtain the consent of any other party (other than those that it has
already obtained) or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any
Governmental Authority (other than those that it has already obtained) in connection with the execution, delivery,
performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.


 






    45


     


    

 


(d)              
No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which
it is a party by the Originator, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will not violate in
any material respect any Applicable Law applicable to the Originator, or conflict with, result in a default under or constitute
a breach of the Originator’s organizational documents or Contractual Obligations to which the Originator is a party or by
which the Originator or any of the Originator’s properties may be bound, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien
of any kind upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such Contractual Obligations, other than as contemplated by
the Transaction Documents.


 


(e)              
Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently
pending, or to the knowledge of the Originator threatened, against the Originator or any of its properties or with respect to this
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the Notes (i) that, if adversely determined, would in the
reasonable judgment of the Originator be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Originator or the Issuer or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents to which the Originator is a party or (ii) seeking to adversely affect the federal income tax or other federal, state
or local tax attributes of the Notes.


 


(f)               
Solvency. The Originator at the time of and after giving effect to each conveyance of Loan Assets hereunder, is Solvent
on and as of the date thereof.


 


(g)              
Taxes. The Originator has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which, to its knowledge, are required to be
filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property
and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any amount
of tax due, the validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which
reserves in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been provided on the books of the Originator); no tax
Lien has been filed and, to the Originator’s knowledge, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or
other charge.


 


(h)              
Place of Business; No Changes. The Originator’s location (within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC) is the
State of Delaware. The Originator has not changed its name, whether by amendment of its certificate of formation, by reorganization
or otherwise, within the four months preceding the Closing Date. The Originator has not changed its location within the four months
preceding the Closing Date.


 


(i)                
Not an Investment Company. The Originator is not and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents, will not be required to be registered as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act.


 






    46


     


    

 


(j)                
 Sale Treatment. Other than for accounting and tax purposes, the Originator has treated and will treat the transfer
of Loan Assets to the Issuer for all purposes as a sale and purchase on all of its relevant books and records and other applicable
documents.


 


(k)              
Security Interest.


 


(i)                
This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in favor of the Issuer
in all right, title and interest of Originator in the Loan Assets, which security interest is prior to all other Liens (except
for Permitted Liens), and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Originator;


 


(ii)              
the Loans, along with the related Loan Files, constitute “general intangibles,” “instruments,” “accounts,”
 “investment property,” or “chattel paper,” within the meaning of the applicable UCC;


 


(iii)               
the Originator owns and has, and upon the sale and transfer thereof by the Originator to the Issuer, the Issuer will have,
good and marketable title to the Loan Assets free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens), claim or encumbrance of any
Person;


 


(iv)               
the Originator has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Loan Assets to the sale of the Loan
Assets hereunder to the Issuer;


 


(v)                
the Originator has caused the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate
jurisdictions under Applicable Law in order to perfect the security interest in the Loan Assets granted to the Issuer under this
Agreement to the extent perfection can be achieved by filing a financing statement;


 


(vi)              
other than the security interest granted to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the Originator has not pledged, assigned,
sold, granted a security interest in or otherwise conveyed any of the Loan Assets. The Originator has not authorized the filing
of and is not aware of any financing statements naming the Originator as debtor that include a description of collateral covering
the Loan Assets other than any financing statement (A) relating to the security interest granted by the Originator under this Agreement,
or (B) that has been terminated or for which a release or partial release has been filed. The Originator is not aware of the filing
of any judgment or tax Lien filings against the Originator;


 






    47


     


    

 


(vii)             
 each Underlying Note or Underlying Notes that constitute or evidence the Loan Assets has been or will be delivered to the
Trustee in accordance with Section 2.09;


 


(viii)            
 the Originator has received a written acknowledgment from the Trustee that the Trustee or its bailee is holding, in accordance
with Section 2.09, any Underlying Notes that constitute or evidence any Loan Assets solely on behalf of and for the benefit
of the Noteholders; and

have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Issuer and the Trustee.


 


(l)                
Value Given. The cash payments and the corresponding increase in the Originator’s equity interest in the Issuer
received by the Originator in respect of the purchase price of the Loan Assets sold hereunder constitute reasonably equivalent
value in consideration for the transfer to the Issuer of such Loan Assets under this Agreement, such transfer was not made for
or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Originator to the Issuer, and such transfer was not and is not voidable or subject
to avoidance under any Insolvency Law.


 


(m)

Documents, will not be required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the 1940 Act.


 


(n)               
No Defaults. The Originator is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation
or demand of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency, which default might have consequences that would materially
and adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Originator or its respective properties or might
have consequences that would materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder.


 


(o)              
Bulk Transfer Laws. The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Loans by the Originator pursuant to this Agreement
are not subject to the bulk transfer laws or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.

Origination and Collection Practices. The origination and collection practices used by the Originator and any of
its Affiliates with respect to each Loan have been consistent with the Servicing Standard and comply in all material respects with
the Operating Guidelines.


 


(q)              
No Adverse Selection. No selection procedures adverse to the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders were utilized
in selecting Loans from the available loans in the Originator’s portfolio that meet the definition of Eligible Loans.


 






    48


     


    

 


(r)               
 Lack of Intent to Hinder, Delay or Defraud. Neither the Originator nor any of its Affiliates sold, or will sell,
any interest in any Loan Asset with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of their respective creditors.


 


(s)               
Nonconsolidation. The Originator conducts its affairs such that the Issuer would not be substantively consolidated
in the estate of the Originator and their respective separate existences would not be disregarded in the event of the Originator’s
bankruptcy.


 


(t)                
Accuracy of Information. All written factual information heretofore furnished by the Originator for purposes of or
in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which Originator is a party, or any transaction contemplated
hereby or thereby is, and all such written factual information hereafter furnished by the Originator to any party to the Transaction
Documents will be, true and accurate in all material respects, on the date such information is stated or certified; provided
that the Originator shall not be responsible for any factual information furnished to it by any third party not affiliated with
it, or the Originator or the Servicer, except to the extent that a Responsible Officer of the Originator has actual knowledge that
such factual information is inaccurate in any material respect.


 


The representations
and warranties set forth in Section 3.01(k) may not be waived by any Person and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
The Originator and Issuer shall provide the Trustee and the Rating Agency with prompt written notice upon obtaining knowledge of
any breach of the representations and warranties set out in Section 3.01.

    49


     


    

 


Section 3.06       Representations

represents and warrants to the Trustee that:


 


(a)              
Organization and Good Standing. The Servicer is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of formation and has the power to own its assets and to transact the business
in which it is currently engaged. The Servicer is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in
which the character of the business transacted by it or properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification and in which
the failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Servicer or the Issuer. The Servicer is properly licensed in each jurisdiction to the extent required by the
laws of such jurisdiction to service the Loans in accordance with the terms hereof and in which the failure to so qualify would
have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Servicer or Issuer.


 


(b)              
Authorization; Binding Obligations. The Servicer has the power and authority to make, execute, deliver and perform
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party and all of the transactions contemplated under
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party, and has taken all necessary limited liability
company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which
the Servicer is a party. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party constitute the legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Servicer enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforcement of such
terms may be limited by Insolvency Laws and general principles of equity, whether considered in a suit at law or in equity.


 


(c)              
No Consent Required. The Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of any other party (other than those that
it has already obtained) or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any Governmental
Authority (other than those that it has already obtained) in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or
enforceability of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party.


 


(d)              
No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance by the Servicer of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which the Servicer is a party will not violate any Applicable Law applicable to the Servicer, or conflict with, result
in a default under or constitute a breach of the Servicer’s organizational documents or any Contractual Obligations to which
the Servicer is a party or by which the Servicer or any of the Servicer’s properties may be bound, or result in the creation
of or imposition of any Lien of any kind upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such Contractual Obligations,
other than as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.


 


(e)               Litigation.
No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to
the knowledge of the Servicer threatened, against the Servicer or any of its properties or with respect to this Agreement, or
any other Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party that, if adversely determined, would in the reasonable
judgment of the Servicer be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Servicer or the Issuer or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party.


 






    50


     


    

 


(f)

Section 5.02       
Duties of the Servicer and the Backup Servicer.


 


The Servicer, as an
independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Loans (including, with respect to Agented Loans, Co-Agented Loans
and Third Party Agented Loans, the Issuer’s interest as a lender thereunder) and shall have full power and authority, acting
alone, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable
and consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Operating Guidelines and the Servicing Standard and the Issuer’s rights
under the applicable Underlying Loan Agreements. The parties hereto each acknowledge, and the Noteholders are hereby deemed to
acknowledge, that the Servicer, as Servicer under this Agreement, possesses only such rights with respect to the enforcement of
rights and remedies with respect to the Loans and the Related Property and under the Required Loan Documents as those which have
been transferred to the Issuer with respect to the related Loan. Therefore, the provisions of this Article V shall not apply
to Third Party Agented Loans or Participated Loans except to the extent the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, has the right to
vote, consent, give directions, make advances or receive payments with respect thereto, and these provisions shall only apply to
Agented Loans and Co-Agented Loans with respect to which the Servicer is the lead agent and to the extent not inconsistent with
the related Required Loan Documents.


 


(a)               Subject
to the limitations set forth herein, the Servicer may perform its duties directly or, consistent with the Servicing Standard,
through agents, accountants, experts, attorneys, brokers, consultants or nominees selected with reasonable care by the
Servicer. The Servicer will remain fully responsible and fully liable for its duties and obligations hereunder and under any
other Transaction Document notwithstanding any such delegation to a third party. Performance by any such third party of any
of the duties of the Servicer hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be deemed to be performance thereof by
the Servicer.


 






    54


     


    

 


(b)              
Reserved.


 


(c)              
In the event the initial Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer, the initial Servicer at its expense and
without right of reimbursement therefor, shall deliver to the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, all documents
and records (including computer tapes and diskettes) in its possession relating to the Loans then being serviced hereunder and
an accounting of amounts collected and held by it hereunder and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of any arrangements with third parties pursuant to clause (a)  of this Section 5.02 to the Backup Servicer
or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, to the extent permitted thereby.


 


(d)              
Modifications and Waivers Relating to Loans.


 


(i)                
So long as it is consistent with the Operating Guidelines and the Servicing Standard, the Servicer may agree to waive, modify
or vary any term of any Loan, if in the Servicer’s determination such waiver, modification or variance will not be materially
adverse to the interests of the Noteholders; provided that the Servicer may not agree to any Material Modification that
would extend the stated maturity date of such Loan beyond the Legal Final Payment Date.


 


(ii)               
Except as expressly set forth in Section 5.02(d)(i), the Servicer may execute any amendments, waivers, modifications
or variances related to such Loan and any documents related thereto on behalf of the Issuer.


 


(iii)               
Reserved.


 


(iv)              Although
costs incurred by the Servicer in respect of Servicing Advances, including any interest owed with respect thereto, may be
added to the amount owing by the Obligor under the related Loan, such amounts shall not be so added for the purposes of
calculating distributions to Noteholders. Any fees and costs imposed in connection therewith on the Obligor of the related
Loan, and any reimbursement of Servicing Advances by any Obligor or out of Sale Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance
Proceeds, in each case, received with respect to the related Loan or its Related Property shall be withdrawn and payable to
the Servicer from the Collection Account as a Servicing Advance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as
it is consistent with the Operating Guidelines and the Servicing Standard, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Issuer, the Trustee and each Noteholder, all instruments of
amendment, waiver, satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to the Loans and with respect to any Related Property. Such authority shall include, but not be
limited to, the authority to substitute or release items of Related Property consistent with the Operating Guidelines and
this Agreement and sell Loans previously transferred to the Issuer. The Issuer and the Trustee have granted a power of
attorney to the Servicer with respect thereto, pursuant to Section 5.02(s). In connection with any such sale, the
Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 7.03(b), all proceeds received upon such
sale. If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Issuer and the Trustee shall furnish the Servicer, within five Business
Days of receipt of the Servicer’s request, with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to
enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement or under any of the other
Transaction Documents. Any such request by the Servicer to the Issuer or the Trustee shall be accompanied by a certification
in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto signed by a Servicing Officer. In connection with any substitution of Related
Property, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee the items required by, and within the time frame set forth in, Section

Agented Loans and Participated Loans, the Issuer’s interest as a lender or purchaser thereunder) in accordance with the Required
Loan Documents, the Operating Guidelines and the Servicing Standard.

accordance with the power set forth in Section 2.01(a), the initial Servicer shall perform the duties of the Issuer
under the Transaction Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, the initial Servicer shall consult with the Originator as
the Servicer deems appropriate regarding the duties of the Issuer under the Transaction Documents. The initial Servicer shall
monitor the performance of the Issuer of its duties under the Transaction Documents and shall advise the Issuer when action

(g)              
In addition to the duties of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, the initial Servicer
shall perform or shall cause to be performed such calculations and shall prepare for execution by the Issuer or shall cause the
preparation by other appropriate Persons of all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it
shall be the duty of the Issuer to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to state and federal tax and securities laws. In accordance
with the directions of the Issuer, the initial Servicer shall administer, perform or supervise the performance of such other activities
in connection with the Issuer as are not covered by any of the foregoing provisions and as are expressly requested by the Issuer
and are reasonably within the capability of the Servicer. The Servicer is hereby authorized to execute documents, instruments and
certificates on behalf of the Issuer.

(i)                
All tax returns required to be signed by the Issuer, if any, will be signed by the Servicer (so long as the Servicer is
the Originator) on behalf of the Issuer if permitted under applicable law.


 


(j)                
The Servicer shall maintain appropriate books of account and records relating to services performed under this Agreement,

prospective purchaser thereof designated by such Holder, upon the request of such a Holder or prospective purchaser, the
information required to be provided to such Holder or prospective purchaser by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act; and
(ii) the initial Servicer shall update such information from time to time in order to prevent such information from becoming
false and misleading and will take such other actions as are necessary to ensure that the safe harbor exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act under Rule 144A is and will be available for resales of such Notes conducted
in accordance with Rule 144A.

each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement
and of any of the Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.


 


(n)              
The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any Servicing Advances or Scheduled Payment Advances from Collections.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the application of Scheduled Payment Advances prevent
a Loan from being or becoming a Delinquent Loan or a Defaulted Loan.


 


(o)              
The Servicer shall not be responsible for any taxes payable by the Issuer or any Servicing Fees payable to any Successor
Servicer.


 


(p)

(v)              
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any material conflict or material inconsistency exists among the
Required Loan Documents, the Operating Guidelines and the Servicing Standard, the provisions of the Required Loan Documents shall

Section 5.03        
Liquidation of Loans.


 


(a)               
In the event that any payment due under any Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 5.02 is not paid when the
same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Obligor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Loan which
results in an event of default thereunder, the Servicer in accordance with the Required Loan Documents, the Operating Guidelines
and the Servicing Standard shall take such action as shall maximize the amount of recovery thereon and as the Servicer shall deem,
in its sole discretion, to be in the best interests of the Issuer; provided that if such Loan is an Agented Loan, Co-Agented
Loan or a Third Party Agented Loan, the Servicer’s obligations shall be limited to exercising the Issuer’s rights thereunder;
provided, further, that in lieu of taking such action, the Servicer, consistent with its Operating Guidelines and the Servicing
Standard, may amend or modify such Loan.


 


(b)              
The Servicer will not be in breach of its obligations under this Section 5.03 by reason of any action taken by the
administrative agent, syndicate agent or other Person acting in a similar capacity in respect of a Third Party Agented Loan or
a Participated Loan pursuant to its own authority or in respect of an Agented Loan, Co-Agented Loan, Third Party Agented Loan or
Participated Loan at the direction of the requisite percentage of the lenders in violation of this Agreement if the Servicer, acting
on behalf of the Issuer, did not consent to such action on behalf of the Issuer. The Servicer, consistent with its Operating Guidelines
and the Servicing Standard, may accelerate all payments due under any Loan to the extent permitted by the Required Loan Documents
and foreclose upon at a public or private sale or otherwise comparably effect the ownership of Related Property relating to defaulted
loans for which the related Loan is still outstanding and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of
delinquent payments in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.10 nor satisfactory amendment or modification is made
in accordance with Section 5.03(a). Subject to applicable law, the Servicer shall act, or shall engage an experienced Person
qualified to act, as sales and processing agent for the Related Property that is foreclosed upon. In connection with such foreclosure
or other conversion and any other liquidation action or enforcement of remedies, the Servicer shall exercise collection and foreclosure
procedures in accordance with the Operating Guidelines and the Servicing Standard. Any sale of the Related Property is to be evidenced
by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to the Trustee setting forth the Loan, the Related Property,
the sale price of the Related Property and certifying that such sale price is the fair market value of such Related Property. In
any case in which any such Related Property has suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any repair
or toward the repossession of such Related Property unless it reasonably determines that such repair and/or repossession will increase
the Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.

The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts, consistent with the Operating Guidelines and the Servicing Standard, to collect
all payments required under the terms and provisions of the Loans. Consistent with the foregoing and the Operating Guidelines and
the Servicing Standard, the Servicer may in its discretion waive or permit to be waived any fee or charge which the Servicer would

operations or customer or employee relations. The Trustee, such Noteholder and the representative of any such regulatory
authority designated by the related Noteholder to view such information shall and shall cause their representatives to hold
in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications
for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Trustee may reasonably determine that such
disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder. The Servicer may request that any such Person not a party hereto
enter into a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to the Servicer prior to permitting such Person to view such
information.

(a)              
Upon the payment in full of any Loan, the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed
in a manner customary for such purposes or the deposit into the Collection Account of the purchase price of any Loan acquired by
the Originator, the Servicer or another Person pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document, the Servicer will
promptly notify the Custodian and the Trustee by a certification in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto (which certification
shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required
to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 7.03(b) have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing
Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Loan File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Custodian in accordance
with Section 2.11(c), shall release, within two Business Days (if such request was received by 2:00 p.m. New York City time),
the related Loan File to the Servicer. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance
shall be payable by the Servicer and shall not be chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution Account; provided
that the Servicer may collect and retain such expenses from the underlying Obligor.


 


(b)              
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Loan, the Custodian shall, upon request of
the Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a certification in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto signed by a Servicing
Officer, release the related Loan File to the Servicer within two Business Days (if such request was received by 2:00 p.m. New
York City time). The Servicer shall return the Loan File to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists,
unless the Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Loan have been deposited in the Lockbox Account,
for further credit to the Collection Account, and remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account or the Loan File
or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes
of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure or repossession of Related Property either judicially
or non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name
and address of the Person to whom such Loan File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon
receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt relating to such Loan
shall be released by the Custodian to the Servicer.


 


(c)               The
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents
provided to it necessary to the servicing or foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of Related Property or to any
legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Obligor on the related loan agreement (including any Underlying Note or
other agreement securing Related Property) or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights
provided by the related loan agreement (including any Underlying Note or other agreement securing Related Property) or
otherwise available at law or in equity. Together with such documents or pleadings, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee
a certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and certifying as
to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not
invalidate or otherwise adversely affect the Lien of the agreement securing Related Property, except for the termination of
such a Lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale. The Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written request
from a Servicing Officer, execute any document provided to the Trustee by the Servicer or take any other action requested in
such request, that is, in the opinion of the Servicer as evidenced by such request, required by any state or other
jurisdiction or appropriate to discharge the Lien securing Related Property upon the satisfaction thereof and the Trustee
will sign and post, but will not guarantee receipt of, any such documents to the Servicer, or such other party as the
Servicer may direct, within five Business Days of the Trustee’s receipt of such certificate or documents. Such
certificate or documents shall state that the related Loan has been paid in full by or on behalf of the Obligor (or subject
to a deficiency claim against such Obligor) and that such payment has been deposited in the Collection Account.


 


(d)              
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5.08 to the contrary, in no event may the Servicer possess in
excess of ten Loan Files (excluding Loan Files for Loans which have been paid in full, sold or repurchased) at any given time.
Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall be required to monitor the Servicer’s compliance with the requirements of this

Section 5.09       
Scheduled Payment Advances; Servicing Advances and Nonrecoverable Advances.


 


(a)              
With respect to each Collection Period, the Servicer will determine: (i) on or before the related Reference Date, the amount
of Available Funds described in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition thereof for the following Payment Date, and
(ii) the amount required to be paid on the related Payment Date pursuant to clauses (1) through (4) of Section 7.05(a)(i)
or Section 7.05(a)(ii), as applicable (the amounts described in this clause (ii), the “Scheduled Amount”).
If the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payments (or portion thereof) that were due and payable pursuant to one or more Loans
in the Collateral during the related Collection Period were not received prior to the end of such Collection Period and determines
that, as a result of this, the Scheduled Amount for the related Payment Date exceeds the sum of the amount of Available Funds described
in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition thereof for such Payment Date, then, subject to Section 5.09(b) below,
the Servicer has the right to elect, at its option, but is not obligated, to make a Scheduled Payment Advance in an amount up to
the lesser of (1) the amount of such excess and (2) the amount of such delinquent Scheduled Payments (or portion thereof). The
Servicer will deposit any Scheduled Payment Advances into the Collection Account on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)
on the related Reference Date, in immediately available funds. The Servicer will be entitled to be reimbursed for Scheduled Payment
Advances pursuant to Section 5.09(c), Section 7.03 or the Priority of Payments, as applicable. In addition, the Servicer
may, at its option, make Servicing Advances in the performance of its servicing duties, unless it believes in good faith that the
advance will be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Servicer will be entitled to reimbursement for Servicing Advances from the Collections
received from the Loan to which the Servicing Advance relates as well as pursuant to Section 5.09(c), Section 7.03
or the Priority of Payments, as applicable.


 


(b)              
 The Servicer will not make a Scheduled Payment Advance or a Servicing Advance if the Servicer has determined in its sole
discretion, exercised in good faith and consistent with the Servicing Standard, that the amount of such Scheduled Payment Advance
or Servicing Advance proposed to be advanced will be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Absent bad faith, the Servicer’s determination
as to whether any Scheduled Payment Advance or Servicing Advance is expected to be a Nonrecoverable Advance or whether, once advanced,
it is a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuer and on the Noteholders. Any such determination shall
be made by the Servicer and shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered promptly to the Trustee, setting forth
the basis for such determination. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer has the right to elect, at its option, but is not obligated,
to make a Scheduled Payment Advance.


 


(c)              
The Servicer will be entitled to recover any Scheduled Payment Advance made by it from Collections; provided that
if at any time any Scheduled Payment Advance made by the Servicer is subsequently determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the
Servicer will be entitled to recover the amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance on a Payment Date to the extent then permitted in
accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Servicer will be entitled to recover the amount of any Servicing Advance in accordance
with the Priority of Payments.


 


(d)              
Notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Agreement or any Transaction Document, the Servicer shall not be entitled to
the payment of interest on any Scheduled Payment Advance or any Servicing Advance.


 


Section 5.10       
Title, Management and Disposition of Foreclosed Property.


 


(a)              
Except for Agented Loans, Co-Agented Loans and Third Party Agented Loans (in which case, the provisions of the Underlying
Loan Agreement relating to taking title to collateral shall apply) in the event that title to Related Property is acquired by the
Servicer hereunder in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or by other legal process, the deed, certificate of sale, or
Repossessed Property may be taken in the name of the Issuer or in the name of a subsidiary of the Issuer, the equity securities
of which will be pledged as Collateral by the Issuer to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Any such Issuer subsidiary shall
be serviced by the Servicer, which may perform such services through a nominee or agent as set forth in Section 5.02(b).


 


(b)              
[Reserved].


 


(c)              
The Servicer, subject to the provisions of this Article V, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each such
Foreclosed Property or other Repossessed Property for the Issuer or such Issuer subsidiary, as applicable, solely for the purpose
of its prudent and prompt disposition and sale. The Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer,
manage, conserve, protect and operate the Foreclosed Property or other Repossessed Property in a manner consistent with the Operating
Guidelines and the Servicing Standard. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same) on such
terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Issuer.

Business Days after the receipt thereof, all revenues received by the Issuer with respect to the conservation and disposition of
the related Foreclosed Property or other Repossessed Property net of Liquidation Expenses or received by the Issuer as distributions
from any Issuer subsidiary.Any Issuer subsidiary formed pursuant to Section 5.10(a) may utilize and set aside revenues
received in respect of such real estate Related Property to pay for the normal operations of the business of such Issuer subsidiary
and of such real estate Related Property, and for such other fees, costs and expenses relating thereto as are deemed appropriate
to maximize value or reduce or prevent loss with respect thereto by the Servicer, consistent with the Operating Guidelines and
the Servicing Standard, and establish and maintain such cash reserves as the Servicer (or its agent) deem reasonably necessary
with respect thereto; provided that no other funds of the Issuer shall be expended in connection with such Issuer subsidiary.


 


(e)              
The Servicer shall, pursuant to the Priority of Payments, receive reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Scheduled Payment
Advances and Servicing Advances relating to the related Loan or such Foreclosed Property or Repossessed Property, and the Servicer
shall deposit in the Lockbox Account the net cash proceeds of the sale of any Foreclosed Property or other Repossessed Property
to be distributed in accordance with Section 7.05.


 


Section 5.11       
Servicing Compensation.


 


(a)              
As compensation for its servicing activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses, the Servicer shall be entitled
to receive a servicing fee (the “Servicing Fee”) calculated and payable monthly in arrears on each Payment Date
prior to the termination of the Issuer. The Servicing Fee shall be equal to the product of: (i) one-twelfth of 2.00% (or, with
respect to the first Collection Period, a fraction equal to the number of days from and including the Closing Date through and
including June 30, 2018 over 360) and (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance as of the beginning of the related Collection
Period; provided that if the Backup Servicer becomes the Servicer, the Servicing Fee payable to the Backup Servicer for
each Collection Period thereafter shall be equal to the greater of (A) $8,500 and (B) the product of: (i) one-twelfth of 2.00%
and (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance as of the beginning of the related Collection Period. If any entity other than
the Servicer or the Backup Servicer becomes the Servicer, the Servicing Fee may be adjusted as agreed upon by the Majority Noteholders
and such Successor Servicer. The Servicing Fee is payable out of Collections pursuant to the Priority of Payments.


 


(b)              
In addition to the Servicing Fee, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain for itself as additional servicing compensation:
(i) reimbursement for Scheduled Payment Advances on the Loans (ii) reimbursement for Servicing Advances on the Loans and (iii)
any mistaken deposits or other related amounts due on Loans that the Servicer is entitled to retain, including without limitation
any amounts payable as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section 5.02(d)(iv).


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing or
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Servicer hereby waives all compensation due under this Section 5.11
until such time as the Servicer provides 5 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Noteholders prior to any Payment
Date of its intent to receive such compensation as described herein. In such case, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive
all current Servicing Fees for the related period pursuant to this Section 5.11 on the next succeeding Payment Date
after delivery of such notice. Any waiver of the Servicing Fee pursuant to this paragraph shall be irrevocable and no
cumulative Servicing Fees that would have accrued to the Servicer but for such waiver shall be due and payable to the
Servicer at any time.

The Servicer shall
not assign its rights and duties under this Agreement (other than in connection with a subservicing arrangement or other arrangement
permitted under this Agreement) or resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it pursuant to this Agreement except (a) upon
a determination that its performance of its duties as Servicer is no longer permissible under Applicable Law or administrative

substantially all of the Servicer’s business or substantially all of the Servicer’s asset-management business permitted
pursuant to Section 5.13 (in which case the Person resulting from the merger, conversion or consolidation shall be the successor

by a written Opinion of Counsel (who may be counsel for the Servicer) to such effect delivered to the Trustee, which Opinion of
Counsel shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until a
successor has been appointed pursuant to Section 8.02(b) and has assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations
in accordance with Section 8.03. No such assignment shall become effective unless the Holders of 100% of the Notes shall
have consented thereto in writing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Backup Servicer, in such role or as Successor
Servicer, may use agents to perform its duties hereunder without the consent of any party hereto, but the Backup Servicer shall

further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary; provided that no
such entity resulting from the merger, conversion or consolidation of the Servicer or the sale of all or substantially all of the
Servicer’s assets or business or substantially all of the Servicer’s asset-management business shall be the successor
Servicer hereunder unless either (i) such Person has assets of at least $50,000,000 and such Person’s regular business includes
the servicing of assets similar to the Loan Assets or (ii) the Holders of 100% of the Notes shall have consented thereto in writing.

except as provided in the proviso in the last sentence of this Section 5.14, for any failure, error or delay in carrying
out its duties hereunder or under any other Transaction Document if such failure, error or delay results from the Servicer acting
in accordance with information prepared or supplied by a Person other than the Servicer or any of its Affiliates or the failure
or delay of any such Person to prepare or provide such information. The Servicer shall not be in default and shall incur no liability
for any act or failure to act by any servicer primarily responsible for servicing Third Party Agented Loans. Subject to the terms
of Section 12.01, the Servicer shall have no obligation to appear with respect to, prosecute or defend any legal action
which is not incidental to the Servicer’s duty to service the Loans in accordance with this Agreement, and that, in its opinion,
may cause the Servicer to incur any expense or liability. The Servicer shall not be responsible for the payment of any taxes imposed
on or with respect to the Issuer or for the fees of any Successor Servicer. Except as provided herein, neither the Servicer nor
any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under any liability to any other party to this Agreement, any Noteholder
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 or any other Transaction Document, or for errors in judgment; provided that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Servicer nor any of its directors, officers, employees or
agents shall be protected against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct or gross negligence
in the performance of the Servicer’s duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder.

remaining after application of the Principal Reinvestment Account Allocation Amount, the Servicer shall direct that such
remaining funds be distributed to or at the written direction of the Issuer, and, if paid to the Noteholders, shall be
considered an Investment Period Principal Distribution Amount.

Section 7.02       
General Reserve Account.


 


(a)              
The Securities Intermediary shall establish and maintain as a segregated account, the General Reserve Account in the name
of the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. Amounts deposited to the General Reserve Account will be invested by the Securities
Intermediary at the written direction of the Servicer in Permitted Investments. Absent such written directions, such amounts will
remain uninvested. The General Reserve Account shall be held in one Eligible Deposit Account with a Qualified Institution in the
form of a segregated account in a corporate trust department wherein the moneys therein may be invested in Permitted Investments.
The Servicer shall monitor the General Reserve Account in accordance with its customary policies and procedures.


 


(b)              
Deposits to the General Reserve Account shall be made in accordance with Section 7.05(a)(i)(6).


 


(c)              
Subject to Sections 7.02(d) and (e) below, if on any Payment Date, Interest Collections, Principal Collections
and any other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the last day of the related Collection Period (without giving effect
to any deposit from the General Reserve Account) would be insufficient to pay any portion of the Required Payments on such Payment
Date, the Servicer shall direct the Securities Intermediary in writing (via the related Monthly Report) to withdraw from the General
Reserve Account an amount equal to the lesser of such insufficiency and the amount on deposit in the General Reserve Account and
deposit such amount in the Distribution Account as Principal Proceeds on the Business Day immediately preceding such Payment Date.


 


(d)              
Upon the occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Event or an Event of Default, the Servicer shall direct the Securities Intermediary
in writing (via the related Monthly Report) to withdraw all amounts on deposit in the General Reserve Account and deposit such
amounts to the Distribution Account for distribution in accordance with Section 7.05(b)(iii) or Section 7.05(c).


 






    70


     


    

 


(e)              
 On the earlier to occur of the Legal Final Payment Date and the Payment Date on which the Aggregate Outstanding Note Balance
is reduced to zero, the Servicer shall direct the Securities Intermediary in writing (via the related Monthly Report) to withdraw
all amounts on deposit in the General Reserve Account and deposit such amounts to the Distribution Account.


 


(f)               
Except if a Rapid Amortization Event or an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, on any Payment Date,
if amounts on deposit in the General Reserve Account are greater than the General Reserve Account Required Balance (after giving
effect to all other distributions and disbursements on such Payment Date), the Servicer shall direct the Securities Intermediary
in writing (via the related Monthly Report) to withdraw funds in excess of the General Reserve Account Required Balance from the
General Reserve Account and disburse such amounts to (i) the Principal Reinvestment Account as Principal Collections during the
Investment Period or (ii) the Collection Account as Interest Collections after the Investment Period.


 


Section 7.03       
Collection Account.


 


(a)              
The Securities Intermediary shall establish and maintain as a segregated account the Collection Account in the name of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. The Collection Account shall be held in one Eligible Deposit Account with a Qualified
Institution in the form of a segregated account in a corporate trust department. Amounts in the Collection Account shall be invested
in Permitted Investments at the written direction of the Servicer. Absent such written direction, such amounts shall remain uninvested.
The Servicer will monitor the Collection Account in accordance with its customary policies and procedures.


 


(b)              
The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Collection Account within two Business Days of the deposit
thereof into the Lockbox Account all Collections (including, for the avoidance of doubt, amounts received from co-lenders, collateral
agents or paying agents under Agented Loans, Co-Agented Loans and Third Party Agented Loans and amounts debited from Obligor accounts
as described in Section 7.01(d)) so deposited into the Lockbox Account. The Servicer will retain in the Collection Account,
subject to withdrawal as permitted by this Section 7.03, the following amounts received by the Servicer, without duplication:


 


(i)                
all Collections accruing and received on or after the Cutoff Date, Subsequent Loan Cutoff Date or Substitute Loan Cutoff
Date, as applicable;


 


(ii)             
any other proceeds from any other Related Property securing the Loans (other than amounts released to the Obligor, other
creditors or any other Person in accordance with Applicable Law, the Required Loan Documents, the Operating Guidelines and the
Servicing Standard) and any disbursements, payments or proceeds from any other Collateral;


 


(iii)           
any amounts paid in connection with the purchase or repurchase of any Loan;


 


(iv)            
 any amount required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.10 or this Section 7.03;
and


 


(v)              
the amount of any gains and interest earned in connection with investments in Permitted Investments from any account.


 






    71


     


    

 


(c)              
The Servicer shall have no obligation to deposit into the Collection Account any amounts in respect of Excluded Property
or any amounts mistakenly deposited in the Lockbox Account or other amounts due on Loans that the Servicer is entitled to retain.


 


(d)              
Not later than the close of business on each Reference Date immediately preceding a Payment Date, the Servicer will remit
to the Lockbox Account any Scheduled Payment Advance that the Servicer determines to make at its option. The application of Scheduled
Payment Advances will not prevent a Loan from being or becoming a Delinquent Loan or a Defaulted Loan.


 


(e)              
Notwithstanding Section 7.03(b), if (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the Lockbox Account in respect of a Collection
of a Loan in the 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 Lockbox 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.


 


(f)               
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account and the Lockbox Accounts shall be exclusive, it being understood
and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments with respect to Liquidation Expenses and Excluded Property
may not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account.


 


(g)               Prior
to the occurrence of a Servicer Default or an Event of Default and acceleration of the Notes, to the extent there are
uninvested available amounts deposited in the Collection Account on or before 3:00 p.m. (New York, New York time), all such
amounts shall be invested by the Securities Intermediary in Permitted Investments selected by the Servicer in written
instructions (which may be in the form of standing instructions) delivered to the Qualified Institution holding such
Transaction Account, 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. (New York, New York time), such funds shall be swept into
the overnight funds investment which shall be a Permitted Investment selected by the Servicer in written instructions (which
may be in the form of standing instructions) delivered to the Qualified Institution holding such Transaction Account. From
and after the occurrence of a Servicer Default or an Event of Default and acceleration of the Notes, to the extent there are
uninvested amounts in the Collection Account (net of losses and investment expenses), all amounts shall remain uninvested.
Subject to the restrictions herein, the Servicer or Trustee may purchase a Permitted Investment from itself or an Affiliate
with respect to investment of funds in the Transaction Accounts. Any investment earnings (net of losses and investment
expenses) on funds held in the Collection Account shall be treated as Interest Collections and shall be deposited therein
pursuant to this Section 7.03 and distributed on the next Payment Date pursuant to Section 7.05. The Originator
and the Issuer agree and acknowledge that the Trustee is to have “control” (within the meaning of the UCC) of
collateral composed of “investment property” or deposit accounts (within the meaning of the UCC) for all purposes
of this Agreement.

(h)

to the Trustee or, if different, the depository institution then holding the Collection Account, request withdrawals from the Collection
Account for the following purposes:


 


(i)

Collections received during the immediately preceding Collection Period (other than any Transfer Deposit Amounts or other amounts
still available to invest in Substitute Loans pursuant to Section 11.01) and all amounts deposited into the Collection Account
from the General Reserve Account pursuant to Section 7.02;


 


(ii)             
[Reserved];


 


(iii)           
to withdraw any amount received from an Obligor that is recoverable and sought to be recovered as a voidable preference
by a trustee in bankruptcy pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code in accordance with a final, nonappealable order of a court having competent
jurisdiction;


 


(iv)            
to make investments in Permitted Investments;


 


(v)              
to withdraw any funds deposited in the Collection Account that were not required or permitted to be deposited therein or
were deposited therein in error (including without limitation amounts in respect of Loans that were purchased or replaced pursuant
to Section 2.06, Section 2.07 or Section 11.01 to the extent such amount is attributable to a time after the
effective date of such purchase or replacement);


 


(vi)            
to withdraw Principal Collections in accordance with an Advance Request delivered by the Issuer for deposit to the Principal
Reinvestment Account;

Servicer or after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been
delivered to the Servicer by the Trustee or any Noteholder;

(f)               
the Servicer shall cease to be eligible to continue as Servicer under this Agreement;


 


(g)             
the Servicer, the Issuer or the Fund shall file a petition to take advantage of any applicable Insolvency Laws, make an

referred to under Section 8.01(b) for a period of 60 days (in addition to the 30-day period provided therein) shall not
constitute a Servicer Default until the expiration of such additional five Business Days or 60 days, respectively, if such delay
or failure could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Servicer and such delay or failure was caused
by an act of God or other events beyond the Servicer’s control.


 


Section 8.02             
Servicer Transfer.


 


(a)              
If a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing (subject to any applicable cure period), the Trustee or the Issuer,
at the direction of the Majority Noteholders, shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder by notice
to the Servicer (a “Termination Notice”), whereupon the Backup Servicer will succeed to all of the Servicer’s
management, administrative, servicing, custodial and collection functions as Servicer hereunder within 30 days of receiving a Termination
Notice.


 






    80


     


    

 


(b)               If
the Backup Servicer is unable to assume the role of the Servicer after a Termination Notice is delivered pursuant to Section
8.02(a), the Trustee (i) will provide the Originator with written notice of such circumstances (and the Originator shall
promptly forward a copy of such notice to the Rating Agency) and (ii) may appoint a successor servicer with assets of at
least $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of assets similar to the Loan Assets (either the Backup
Servicer or such other Person appointed successor servicer, the “Successor Servicer”). Such proposed
Successor Servicer shall become the Successor Servicer once it assumes the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations
in accordance with Section 8.03. If such proposed Successor Servicer is unable to assume the responsibilities and
obligations of the Servicer, the Trustee shall propose an alternative established servicing institution to serve as the
Successor Servicer. Such other proposed Successor Servicer shall become the Successor Servicer once it assumes the
Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations in accordance with this Agreement. The appointment of any Successor
Servicer (other than the Backup Servicer) is subject to the prior written approval of the Majority Noteholders. If no
Successor Servicer has been appointed and approved following the above procedures within 120 days of the delivery of a
Termination Notice or notice of resignation by the Servicer, then any of the Issuer, Trustee, removed or resigning Servicer
or any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a Successor Servicer, which
appointment will not require the consent of, nor be subject to the approval of the Issuer, the Trustee or any Noteholder.


 


(c)               On
the date that a Successor Servicer shall have been appointed and accepted such appointment pursuant to Section 8.03 (such
appointment being herein called a “Servicer Transfer”), all rights, benefits, fees, indemnities, authority
and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Loans, the Loan Files or otherwise, shall pass to
and be vested in such Successor Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 8.02; and, without limitation, the
Successor Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do any and all acts or things necessary or appropriate to
effect the purposes of such notice of termination. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Successor Servicer in effecting
the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to
the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be held by the Servicer for
deposit, or have been deposited by the Servicer, in a Transaction Account or thereafter received with respect to the Loans
and Related Property. The Servicer shall transfer to the Successor Servicer (i) all records held by the Servicer relating to
the Loans and Related Property in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and (ii) any Loan
Files in the Servicer’s possession. In addition, the Servicer shall permit access to its premises (including all
computer records and programs) to the Successor Servicer or its designee, shall pay the reasonable transition expenses of the
Successor Servicer, and assign or sub-license to the Successor Servicer for the remainder of the term of this Agreement all
intellectual property owned or licensed by or assigned to the Servicer that is necessary to perform the duties of Successor
Servicer hereunder (to the extent that the Servicer has the right that the Servicer has the right to assign or sub-license
such intellectual property). Upon a Servicer Transfer, the Successor Servicer shall also be entitled to receive the Servicing
Fee thereafter payable for performing the obligations of the Servicer and any additional amounts payable to the Servicer
hereunder. Any indemnities provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents in favor of the Servicer, any
Servicing Fee (together with accrued interest thereon), any other fees, costs and expenses and any Scheduled Payment
Advances, Servicing Advances and Nonrecoverable Advances, in any case, that have accrued and/or are due and unpaid or
unreimbursed to the Servicer shall survive the termination of the Servicer and its replacement with a Successor Servicer and
the Servicer being replaced shall remain entitled thereto until paid hereunder in accordance with the Priority of
Payments.


 






    81


     


    

 


(d)              
The Backup Servicer may resign, either as Backup Servicer or as Successor Servicer, upon ninety (90) days prior written
notice to the Trustee, the Issuer, and the Servicer (in the case of a resignation as the Backup Servicer); provided, however,
such resignation shall not become effective until there is a replacement Successor Servicer or Backup Servicer in place that is
acceptable to the Majority Noteholders. Upon the resignation of the Backup Servicer, the Servicer shall appoint a successor Backup
Servicer (subject to the previous sentence) and if it does not do so within 120 days of the Backup Servicer’s resignation,
the Backup Servicer may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor. Upon the resignation of
the Successor Servicer, the Majority Noteholders shall appoint a Successor Servicer and if they does not do so within 120 days
of the Successor Servicer’s resignation, the Successor Servicer may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor.

Acceptance by Successor Servicer; Reconveyance; Successor Servicer to Act.


 


(a)              
Subject to Section 8.04, no appointment of a Successor Servicer (other than the Backup Servicer) shall be effective
until the Successor Servicer shall have executed and delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee a written acceptance of such appointment
and of the duties of Servicer hereunder, subject to Section 8.03(d). The Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing
functions under this Agreement until the date the Successor Servicer shall have so executed and delivered such written acceptance.


 


(b)              
[Reserved].


 


(c)              
As compensation, a Successor Servicer so appointed shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee, together with any other
servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise as provided in the Transaction Documents
that thereafter are payable under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all reasonable costs (including reasonable attorneys’
fees) incurred in connection with transferring the servicing obligations under this Agreement and amending this Agreement (if necessary)
to reflect such transfer. Neither the Trustee nor any Successor Servicer shall be held liable by reason of any failure to make,
or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Servicer to deliver,
or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction
over the Servicer. To the extent that either the Trustee or the Backup Servicer incurs any extraordinary expenses in connection
with a servicing transfer, it shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor as an Administrative Expense pursuant to the Priority
of Payments.


 






    82


     


    

 


(d)               On
or after a Servicer Transfer, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity
as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein with respect to servicing of the
Collateral and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer
by the terms and provisions hereof, and the terminated Servicer shall be relieved of such responsibilities, duties and
liabilities arising after such Servicer Transfer; provided that (i) the Successor Servicer will not assume any
obligations of the Servicer described in Section 8.02(c), (ii) the Successor Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or
omissions of the Servicer occurring prior to such Servicer Transfer or for any breach by the Servicer of any of its
representations and warranties contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, (iii) the Successor Servicer shall have
no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer (provided, that the Successor Servicer shall pay any
income taxes for which it is liable), (iv) the Successor Servicer shall have no obligation to pay any of the fees and
expenses of any other party to the transactions contemplated hereby, (v) the Successor Servicer shall have no liability
or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer, including the initial Servicer,
(vi) the Successor Servicer shall have no obligation to perform any repurchase obligations of the Servicer and (vii) the
Successor Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances or Scheduled Payment Advances. Notwithstanding
anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential
in the amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any Successor Servicer to act as
Successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein, including any Servicing
Transfer Costs. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary
to effectuate any such succession. The terminated Servicer shall remain entitled to payment and reimbursement of the amounts
set forth in the last sentence of Section 8.02(b) notwithstanding its termination hereunder, to the same extent as if
it had continued to service the Loans hereunder.


 


(e)              
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Indenture to the contrary, no Successor Servicer, shall be responsible
for the accounting, records (including computer records) and work of the Servicer or any other predecessor Servicer relating to
the Loans (collectively, the “Predecessor Servicer Work Product”). If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect
or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, “Errors”) exists in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product
and such Errors make it materially more difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to such Successor Servicer
making or continuing any Errors (collectively, “Continued Errors”), such Successor Servicer shall have no liability
for such Continued Errors; provided, however, that each Successor Servicer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts
to prevent Continued Errors. In the event that a Successor Servicer becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, such Successor
Servicer shall, with the prior consent of the Trustee, use commercially reasonable efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data
to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future Continued Errors. A Successor Servicer shall be entitled to recover
its costs thereby expended in accordance with the Priority of Payments.


 


(f)               
The Successor Servicer is authorized to accept and rely on all accounting records (including computer records) and work
product of the prior Servicer hereunder relating to the Collateral without any audit or other examination.

the Backup Servicer, the Originator and the Rating Agency at the addresses described in Section 13.04, and the Trustee shall
promptly forward such notice to the Noteholders at their respective addresses appearing on the Note Register.

respective addresses appearing on the Note Register.


 


Section 8.05

(a)              
After a Servicer Transfer, the terminated Servicer shall have no further obligations with respect to the management, administration,
servicing, custody or collection of the Loans as Servicer hereunder and, subject to Section 8.03(d), the Successor Servicer
appointed pursuant to Section 8.03 shall have all of such obligations, except that the terminated Servicer will transmit
or cause to be transmitted directly to the Successor Servicer promptly on receipt and in the same form in which received, any amounts
(properly endorsed where required for the Successor Servicer to collect them) received as Collections upon or otherwise in connection
with the Collateral.


 


(b)              
A Servicer Transfer shall not affect the rights and duties of the parties hereunder (including but not limited to the obligations
and indemnities of the Servicer) other than those relating to the management, administration, servicing, custody or collection
of the Loans.


 


Section 8.06

of servicing functions by the Successor Servicer following the occurrence of a Servicer Default.


 


Section 8.07             
Waiver of Defaults.


 


The Majority Noteholders
may, on behalf of all the Noteholders, waive any default by the Servicer of its obligations hereunder and all consequences of such
default, except a default in making any required deposits to the Collection Account or the Distribution Account. No such waiver
or cure shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so
waived.

Preparation of Reports; Officer’s Certificate.


 


(a)              
The Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee in connection with the delivery of the Monthly Reports. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing and the obligation of the Servicer to deliver Monthly Reports to the Trustee, the Servicer shall supply
in a timely fashion any information as to any determinations required to be made by the Servicer hereunder or under the Indenture
and such other information as is maintained by the Servicer that the Trustee may from time to time request with respect to the
Collateral. Nothing herein shall obligate the Trustee to determine independently any characteristic of a Loan, including without
limitation whether any item of Indenture Collateral is an Agented Loan, Co-Agented Loan, Third Party Agented Loan or Participated
Loan, any such determination being based exclusively upon notification the Trustee receives from the Servicer, and except as otherwise
specifically set forth in any of the Transaction Documents, nothing in this Article IX shall obligate the Trustee to review
or examine any underlying instrument or contract evidencing, governing or guaranteeing or securing any Loan in order to verify,
confirm, audit or otherwise determine any characteristic thereof.


 


(b)              
In performing its duties hereunder to deliver the Monthly Reports, the Trustee shall in no event have any liability for
the actions or omissions of the Servicer or any other Person, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in any Monthly
Report it distributes pursuant to Sections 9.01 and 9.02, except to the extent that such inaccuracies or errors are
caused by the Trustee’s own fraud, bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties hereunder.
The Trustee shall not be liable for failing to perform or delay in performance of its specified duties hereunder that results from
or is caused by a failure or delay on the part of the Servicer or another Person in furnishing necessary, timely and accurate information
to the Trustee or the Servicer or a review by the Independent Accountants of a Monthly Report.

agreed to by the Trustee and the Servicer) and the Backup Servicer such information (the “Tape”) the
Servicer relied upon to prepare the Monthly Report for such month. Each Tape shall include, but not be limited to, the
information set forth in Exhibit G hereto. The Backup Servicer shall use such tape or diskette (or other electronic

transmission is in readable form, and (ii) calculate and confirm (A) the aggregate amount distributable as principal on the
related Payment Date to the Notes, (B) the aggregate amount distributable as interest on the related Payment Date to the
Notes, (C) the outstanding principal amount of the Notes after giving effect to all distributions made pursuant to clause

the Trustee that it has verified the Monthly Report in accordance with this Section 9.04(a) and shall notify the
Servicer and the Trustee of any discrepancies, in each case, on or before the fifth Business Day following the related
Payment Date. In the event that the Backup Servicer reports any discrepancies, the Servicer and the Backup Servicer shall
attempt to reconcile such discrepancies prior to the next succeeding Payment Date, but in the absence of reconciliation, the
Monthly Report shall control for the purpose of calculations and distributions with respect to the next succeeding Payment
Date. In the event that the Backup Servicer and the Servicer are unable to reconcile discrepancies with respect to a Monthly
Report by the next succeeding Payment Date, the Servicer shall cause the Independent Accountants, at the Servicer’s
expense, to audit the Monthly Report and, prior to the last day of the month after the month in which such Monthly Report was
delivered, reconcile the discrepancies. The effect, if any, of such reconciliation shall be reflected in the Monthly Report
for such next succeeding Payment Date following the last date of the Collection Period. In addition, upon the occurrence of a
Servicer Default the Servicer shall deliver to the Backup Servicer or any successor Servicer its files within 15 days after
demand therefor and a computer tape containing as of the close of business on the date of demand all of the data maintained
by the Servicer in computer format in connection with servicing the Loans. Other than the duties specifically set forth in
this Agreement, the Backup Servicer shall have no obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, to supervise, verify,
monitor or administer the performance of the Servicer. The Backup Servicer shall have no liability for any actions taken or
omitted by the Servicer.

In addition, the initial Servicer shall, upon the request of the Trustee or any Rating Agency, furnish the Trustee or Rating
Agency, as the case may be, such underlying data in the possession of the initial Servicer used to generate a Monthly Report as
may be reasonably requested. The initial Servicer will also forward to the Trustee, the Backup Servicer and the Rating Agency (i)

2018, the unaudited quarterly financial statements of the initial Servicer, the Issuer, the Fund and the BDC and (ii) within 120

Servicer reasonably requests.

in favor of the independent public accountants, and (iv) restrictions or prohibitions on the disclosure of information or documents

Section 11.01   
Repurchases of, or Substitution for, Loans for Breach of Representations and Warranties.


 


Upon a discovery by
the Originator, a Responsible Officer of the Servicer or any subservicer, a Responsible Officer of the Backup Servicer or a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee of (i) a breach of a representation or warranty as set forth in Section 3.01, Section 3.02,
or Section 3.04 or as made or deemed made in any notice relating to Subsequent Loans and Substitute Loans, as applicable,
that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders (each such Loan, an “Ineligible Loan”),
the party discovering such breach or failure shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to this Agreement; provided
that neither the Trustee nor the Backup Server not have a duty or obligation to inquire or to investigate the breach of any of
such representations or warranties. Within 60 days of the earlier of (x) its discovery or (y) its receipt of notice of any breach
of a representation or warranty, the Originator shall, (a) promptly cure such breach in all material respects, (b) repurchase each
such Ineligible Loan by depositing in the Lockbox Account, for further credit to the Collection Account, within such 60 day period,
an amount equal to the Transfer Deposit Amount for such Ineligible Loan, or (c) remove such Loan from the Collateral, deposit the
Transfer Deposit Amount with respect to such Loan into the Lockbox Account, for further credit to the Collection Account, and,
not later than the date a repurchase of such affected Loan would be required hereunder, effect a substitution for such affected
Loan with a Substitute Loan in accordance with the substitution requirements set forth in Sections 2.04 and 2.07.


 


Section 11.02   
Reassignment of Repurchased or Substituted Loans.


 


Upon receipt by the
Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account of the amounts described in Section 11.01 (or upon the Substitute Loan Cutoff
Date related to a Substitute Loan described in Section 11.01), and upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate of the
Servicer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E hereto, the Trustee and the Issuer shall release and assign, as the case
may be, to the Originator all of the Trustee’s and the Issuer’s right, title and interest in the Loans being repurchased
or substituted for the related Loan Assets without recourse, representation or warranty. Such reassigned Loan shall no longer thereafter
be included in any calculations of Outstanding Loan Balances required to be made hereunder or otherwise be deemed a part of the
Collateral.

INDEMNITIES


 


Section 12.01   
Indemnification by Servicer.


 


The Servicer agrees
to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity), the Lockbox Bank, the Backup Servicer,
Securities Intermediary, the Custodian, any Successor Servicer (as such and in its individual capacity) and each Noteholder, and
each officer, director, employee, representative and agent of such Persons, from and against any and all claims, losses, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, judgments (provided that any indemnification for damages is limited to actual damages, not consequential, special
or punitive damages), reasonable legal fees and related costs and any other reasonable costs, fees and expenses (including the
fees and expenses of enforcing the Servicer’s indemnification and contractual obligation hereunder) that such Person actually
sustains as a result of the Servicer’s fraud or the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Loans in
compliance in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent arising from gross negligence, willful
misconduct or fraud by the Person claiming indemnification. Any Person seeking indemnification hereunder shall promptly notify
the Servicer if such Person receives a complaint, claim, compulsory process or other notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability
giving rise to a claim of indemnification hereunder but failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the Servicer of its indemnification
obligations hereunder unless the Servicer is deprived of material substantive or procedural rights or defenses as a result thereof.
The Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the indemnified party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) the defense
and any settlement of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly
pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the indemnified party in respect of such claim.
If the consent of the indemnified party required in the immediately preceding sentence is unreasonably withheld, the Servicer shall
be relieved of its indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such Person. The parties agree that the provisions of
this Section 12.01 shall not be interpreted to provide recourse to the Servicer against loss by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency
or lack of creditworthiness of an Obligor with respect to a Loan. The Servicer shall have no liability for making indemnification
hereunder to the extent any such indemnification constitutes recourse for uncollectible or uncollected Loans.

Section 12.02            
Indemnification
by Originator.


 


The Originator
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity), the Lockbox Bank, the
Backup Servicer, Securities Intermediary, the Custodian, any Successor Servicer (as such and in its individual capacity) and
each Noteholder from and against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, judgments (provided that any
indemnification for damages is limited to actual damages, not consequential, special or punitive damages), reasonable legal
fees and related costs and any other reasonable costs, fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of enforcing the
Originator’s indemnification and contractual obligations hereunder) that such Person actually sustains as a result of
the Originator’s fraud or material breach of a representation or warranty made in this Agreement which would reasonably
be expected to have a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including but
not limited to, the eligibility of any Loan, except to the extent arising from gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud
by the Person claiming indemnification. Any Person seeking indemnification hereunder shall promptly notify the Originator if
such Person receives a complaint, claim, compulsory process or other notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability giving
rise to a claim of indemnification hereunder but failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the Originator of its
indemnification obligations hereunder unless the Originator is deprived of material substantive or procedural rights or
defenses as a result thereof. The Originator shall assume (with the consent of the indemnified party, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld) the defense and any settlement of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith,
including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered
against the indemnified party in respect of such claim. If the consent of the indemnified party required in the immediately
preceding sentence is unreasonably withheld, the Originator shall be relieved of its indemnification obligations hereunder
with respect to such Person. The parties agree that the provisions of this Section 12.02 shall not be interpreted to provide
recourse to the Originator against loss by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency or lack of creditworthiness of an Obligor
with respect to a Loan. The Originator shall have no liability for making indemnification hereunder to the extent any such
indemnification constitutes recourse for uncollectible or uncollected Loans.


 


Section 12.03             Survival.


 


The indemnities in
Section 12.01 and Section 12.02 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of
any party hereto.
