intended and shall, in each and every case, constitute an absolute sale, assignment, conveyance and transfer of ownership of such

of the Seller’s or the Intermediate Seller’s, as applicable, bankruptcy estate in the event of any bankruptcy or insolvency

the Intermediate Seller (and the Intermediate Seller hereby assigns to the Buyer), and the Intermediate Seller hereby grants to
the Buyer, as the case may be, a duly perfected, first priority “security interest” within the meaning of Article 9

prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of such Collateral,

provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law with respect thereto, which rights and remedies shall be
cumulative, and (C) the Seller authorizes the Buyer, the Intermediate Seller authorizes the Buyer, and, so long as the Payment
in Full Date has not occurred, each of the Seller and Intermediate Seller authorize the Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties
to file UCC financing statements and amendments, as necessary, naming the Seller as “debtor,” the Intermediate Seller
as “debtor” or “assignor secured party,” as applicable, the Buyer as “assignor secured party”
or “assignee secured party” and the Trustee as “assignee secured party” or similar applicable designations,
each describing such Collateral, in each jurisdiction that the Buyer deems necessary in order to protect the security interests
in the Collateral granted under this Section 2.01(o).


 


(p)           The Seller, the Intermediate Seller and the Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the conveyance of the Closing Date
Participations is being effectuated pursuant to this Agreement instead of an assignment of the Seller’s legal interest in
and title to each of the Closing Date Participations (the transfer of which to the Buyer will not be effective until the individual
assignments of each Closing Date Participation become effective) because the conditions precedent under the related Underlying
Instruments to the transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Seller’s legal interest in and title to the Closing Date Participations
may otherwise not be fully satisfied as of the Closing Date and (ii) the conveyance of the Closing Date Participations hereunder
shall have the consequence that the Seller does not have an equitable interest in the Closing Date Participations and the Buyer
holds 100% of the equitable interest in the Closing Date Participations. The Buyer has prepared individual assignments consistent
with the requirements of the related Underlying Instruments and provided them to the Persons required under such Underlying Instruments,
which assignments will become effective in accordance with such Underlying Instruments upon obtaining certain consents thereto
or upon the passage of time or both. Upon receipt by the Seller or the Buyer of the effective assignment of any Closing Date Participation
participated pursuant to this Section 2.01, the Seller, for value received, hereby sells to the Intermediate Seller, and
the Intermediate Seller hereby purchases from the Seller, and the Intermediate Seller, for value received, hereby sells to the
Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases from the Intermediate Seller, all of the Seller’s or Intermediate Seller’s, as
applicable, right, title and interest in, to and under such Closing Date Participation.

Section
2.02     Purchase Price.


 


The purchase price
for each Collateral Obligation sold pursuant to this Master Loan Sale Agreement shall be a dollar amount equal to the fair market
value thereof as determined by the Seller, the Intermediate Seller and/or the Buyer, as applicable, and shall be on terms no less
favorable to the buyer than such buyer would then obtain in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a person that is not
an Affiliate (in each case, the “Purchase Price”).


 


Section
2.03        Payment of
Purchase Price.


 


(a)           The Purchase Price for any Collateral related to Schedule 1 acquired by the Buyer from the Intermediate Seller (including
the Closing Date Participations) on the Closing Date shall be paid by a combination of cash and the issuance of a portion of the
Subordinated Notes by the Buyer to the Intermediate Seller and by subsequent transfer of such cash from the Intermediate Seller
to the Seller. With respect to any Purchase Date after the Closing Date, to the extent the value of the Collateral transferred
by the Seller to the Intermediate Seller and from the Intermediate Seller to the Buyer exceeds the value of the cash and a portion
of the Subordinated Notes received by the Intermediate Seller or Seller (as applicable) for such assets, such excess shall be deemed
to constitute a capital contribution from the Seller to the Intermediate Seller and from the Intermediate Seller to the Buyer.
To the extent the value of the cash and a portion of the Subordinated Notes received by the Intermediate Seller or Seller (as applicable)
from the Buyer exceeds the value of the assets transferred by the Seller to the Intermediate Seller and by the Intermediate Seller
to the Buyer, such excess shall be deemed to constitute a dividend from the Buyer to the Intermediate Seller and the Intermediate
Seller to the Seller. The Purchase Price for any Collateral acquired by the Buyer from the Intermediate Seller on any Purchase
Date after the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid in a combination of (A) immediately available funds in cash
and by subsequent transfer of such cash from the Intermediate Seller to the Seller and (B) if the Buyer does not have sufficient
funds in cash to pay the full amount of the Purchase Price, by means of a capital contribution by the Seller to the Intermediate
Seller and by a subsequent capital contribution by the Intermediate Seller to the Buyer.


 


(b)           The Purchase Price for any Collateral purchased by the Buyer to be settled directly with a subsidiary of the Seller on any
Purchase Date after the Closing Date shall be paid in immediately available funds, which may comprise, if the Buyer does not have
sufficient funds in cash to pay the full amount of the Purchase Price, amounts contributed by the Seller to Intermediate Seller
and by the Intermediate Seller to the Buyer.


 


(c)           Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Seller may on any Purchase Date occurring after the Closing Date
elect to designate all or a portion of the Collateral proposed to be transferred to the Buyer on such date as a capital contribution
to the Intermediate Seller and in turn a capital contribution by the Intermediate Seller to the Buyer. In such event, the cash
portion of the Purchase Price payable with respect to such transfer shall be reduced by that portion of the Purchase Price of the
Collateral that was so contributed; provided that Collateral contributed to the Buyer as capital shall constitute Collateral
for all purposes of this Agreement.


 






     -11-


     


    

 


(d)           The Seller, in connection with each Purchase hereunder relating to any Collateral, shall be deemed to have certified, and
hereby does certify, with respect to the Collateral to be purchased by the Buyer on such day, that its representations and warranties
contained in Article IV are true and correct on and as of such day, with the same effect as though made on and as of
such day.


 


(e)           Upon the payment of the Purchase Price for any Purchase, title to the Collateral included in such Purchase shall vest in
the case of Collateral related to Schedule 1 initially in the Intermediate Seller and then in the Buyer as provided
herein, whether or not the conditions precedent to such Purchase and the other covenants and agreements contained herein were in
fact satisfied; provided that the Intermediate Seller and the Buyer, as applicable, shall not be deemed to have waived any
claim it may have under this Agreement for the failure by the Seller or the Intermediate Seller, as applicable, in fact to satisfy
any such condition precedent, covenant or agreement.


 


(f)            Collateral Obligations may be purchased or acquired from time to time by the Buyer from the Seller or any of its Affiliates
hereunder only if (i) the terms and conditions thereof are no less favorable to the Buyer than the terms it would obtain in a comparable,
timely purchase or acquisition with a non-Affiliate and (ii) the transactions are effected in accordance with all applicable laws.


 


Section
2.04        Income Collections
on Closing Date Participations.


 


(a)           With respect to each Closing Date Participation, the Buyer shall acquire all rights to Income Collections that, as of the
Closing Date, are accrued but unpaid with respect to the period from and after the Closing Date.


 


(b)           If
at any time after the Closing Date the Seller receives any Income Collections, the Seller shall deliver such Income Collection
promptly to the Buyer. If at any time after the Closing Date the Seller receives any other payment (including principal, interest
(to the extent relating to the period from and after the Closing Date) or any other amount) with respect to a Closing Date Participation,
the Seller shall deliver such payment promptly to the Buyer, and in the case of any such payment of interest, the Seller shall
provide a written notice to the Buyer at the time of such delivery setting forth calculations and certifying as to the portion
of any interest received that relates to the period from and after the Closing Date.


 


(c)           Without
limiting the foregoing, the Seller agrees (i) until the Elevation of each Closing Date Participation has been completed, to maintain
its existing custodial arrangements and bank accounts established to receive proceeds of such Closing Date Participation and (ii)
to remit to the Buyer, promptly (but not more than three Business Days) after receipt of such payment and identification thereof,
each payment received in connection with each Closing Date Participation to which the Buyer is entitled in accordance with Section
2.01.

Section
2.05        Elevation of
the Closing Date Participations.


 


(a)           Subject to the terms and provisions of the applicable Closing Date Participation and of applicable law, the Seller shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to effect an Elevation, as soon as reasonably practicable, with respect to each such Closing
Date Participation and take such action (including the execution and delivery of an assignment agreement) as shall be mutually
agreeable in connection therewith and in accordance with the terms and conditions of each such Closing Date Participation and consistent
with the terms of this Agreement. The Seller and shall pay any transfer fees and other expenses payable in connection with an Elevation
and the Buyer will reimburse the Seller for half of such fees and expenses after receipt of an invoice therefor from the Seller
detailing such amounts. The Buyer shall be responsible for any expenses of administering each Closing Date Participation prior
to its Elevation. At Elevation, the Seller shall deliver such assignment and the credit documentation with respect to the related
Closing Date Participation in its possession to or as directed by the Buyer.


 


(b)           If the Seller has not effected an Elevation of a Collateral Obligation on or before the day that is 90 days from the Closing
Date for whatever reason or if at any time prior thereto the Seller is dissolved prior to effecting an Elevation, the Seller and
the Buyer agree that the Participation Interests in each of the Closing Date Participations shall elevate automatically and immediately
to an assignment and all of the Seller’s rights, title, interests and ownership of such Closing Date Participations shall
vest in Buyer. The Seller shall be deemed to have consented and agreed to Elevation for each of the Closing Date Participations
upon the execution of this Agreement. The Seller agrees that, following any such date, the Buyer shall be permitted to take any
and all action necessary to effectuate an Elevation and/or finalize an assignment of any of the Closing Date Participations, and
in furtherance of the foregoing, effective immediately upon such date, the Seller hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Buyer,
with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in its name,
place and stead, to sign, execute, certify, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file, receive and record any and all documents that
the Buyer reasonably deems appropriate or necessary in connection with any Elevation or finalization of an assignment of any of
the Closing Date Participations. In addition, the Seller, effective as of the date hereof, hereby makes, constitutes and appoints
the Buyer, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in
its name, place and stead, to sign, execute, certify, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file, receive and record any and all documents
that the Buyer reasonably deems appropriate or necessary to direct the obligor or agent bank with respect to any Closing Date Participations
to deposit Income Collections directly into an account chosen by the Buyer. The foregoing powers of attorney are hereby declared
to be irrevocable and a power coupled with an interest, and shall survive and not be affected by the bankruptcy or insolvency or
dissolution of the Seller.


 


Section
2.06        Limitation
on Sales to Seller and Affiliates.


 


At any time after the
Closing Date, the Buyer may sell any Collateral Obligation to the Seller or any affiliate thereof; provided that such transaction
is conducted in an arm’s length transaction in the ordinary course of business and the value of any such transferred Collateral
Obligation shall be the mid-point between the “bid” and “ask” prices provided by a nationally recognized
independent pricing service or, if unavailable or determined by the Collateral Manager to be unreliable, the fair market value
of such Collateral Obligation as reasonably determined by the Collateral Manager, and such Affiliate shall acquire such Collateral
Obligation for a price equal to the value so determined; provided further that an aggregate amount of Collateral Obligations
not exceeding 15% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance may be sold or otherwise transferred to the Seller or an affiliate of the Seller.

this representation and warranty is made) furnished by or on behalf of the Seller to the Intermediate Seller or the Buyer, as applicable,
or any assignee thereof in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby is true and accurate in all material
respects (to the best knowledge of the Seller, in the case of information obtained by the Seller from Obligors or other unaffiliated

obtained by the Seller from Obligors or other unaffiliated third parties) as of the date such information was furnished. The projections
and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions
believed by management of the Seller to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Intermediate Seller and the
Buyer that such projections and pro forma financial information as it relates to future events are not to be viewed as fact and
that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and pro forma financial information may differ from
the projected and pro forma results set forth therein by a material amount.


 


(o)           Intent of the Seller. The Seller has not sold, contributed, transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed any interest
in any Collateral Obligation or participation interest therein to the Intermediate Seller or the Buyer, as applicable, with any

as applicable, of all right, title and interest in, to and under each Collateral Obligation, free and clear of any Lien of any
Person claiming through or under the Seller or its Affiliates, except for Permitted Liens. If the conveyances contemplated by this
Agreement are determined to be a transfer for security, then this Agreement constitutes a grant of a security interest in each
Collateral Obligation to the Intermediate Seller or Buyer, as applicable, which upon the delivery of the Collateral Obligation,
in accordance with the definition of “Deliver” under the Indenture, to the Intermediate Seller or Buyer, as applicable
(or to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and the filing of the financing statements
shall be a first priority perfected security interest in each such Collateral Obligation, subject only to Permitted Liens.


 






     -18-


     


    

 


(b)           Eligibility of Sale Portfolio. (i) Schedule 1 is an accurate and complete listing of each Collateral Obligation
transferred to the Intermediate Seller as of the Closing Date and the information contained therein with respect to the identity
of such Collateral Obligations and the amounts owing thereunder is true and correct as of the Closing Date and (ii) with respect
to each Collateral Obligation, all consents, licenses, approvals or authorizations of or registrations or declarations of any governmental
authority or any Person required to be obtained, effected or given by the Seller in connection with the transfer of an ownership
interest or security interest in each Collateral Obligation to the Intermediate Seller or the Buyer, as applicable, have been duly
obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect.


 


It is understood and
agreed that the representations and warranties provided in this Section 4.02 shall survive (x) the sale of the Collateral
Obligations to the Intermediate Seller or the Buyer, as applicable, (y) the grant of a first priority perfected security interest
in, to and under each Collateral Obligation pursuant to the Indenture by the Buyer and (z) the termination of this Agreement and
the Indenture. Upon discovery by the Seller, the Intermediate Seller or the Buyer of a breach of any of the foregoing representations
and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other and to the Trustee immediately
upon obtaining knowledge of such breach.

standing or obtain such license or approval, is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(c)           Due Authorization; Execution and Delivery; Legal, Value and Binding; Enforceability; Valid Sale. The execution and
delivery by the Intermediate Seller of, and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the other instruments,
certificates and agreements contemplated hereby are within its powers and have been duly authorized by all requisite action by
it and have been duly executed and delivered by it and constitute its legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable against
it in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, (A) to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting
generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights as such laws would apply in the event of any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency
or similar event applicable to the Intermediate Seller and (B) to general equitable principles (whether enforceability of such
principles is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). This Agreement shall effect a valid sale, transfer and assignment
of each of the Intermediate Seller to the Buyer of its right, title and interest in the Collateral Obligations sold by the Intermediate
Seller to the Buyer on or after the Closing Date as set forth herein, enforceable against each of the Intermediate Seller, its
creditors and purchasers from the Intermediate Seller, subject, as to enforcement, (A) to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency
or similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights as such laws would apply in the event of any bankruptcy,
receivership, insolvency or similar event applicable to the Intermediate Seller and (B) to general equitable principles (whether

except for Permitted Liens.


 


(b)           No Fraud. Each Collateral Obligation sold by the Intermediate Seller to the Buyer on or after the Closing Date hereunder,

the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement is in the ordinary course of business and financial affairs of the Intermediate Seller.

(a)           Due Organization. The Buyer is a limited liability company duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the

including the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party requires
such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified, maintain good standing or obtain such license or approval would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(c)           Due Authorization; Execution and Delivery; Legal, Valid and Binding; Enforceability. The execution and delivery by
the Buyer of, and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party
and the other instruments, certificates and agreements contemplated hereby or thereby are within its powers and have been duly
authorized by all requisite action by it and have been duly executed and delivered by it and constitute its legal, valid and binding
obligations enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or general
principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.


 


(d)           Non-Contravention. None of the execution and delivery by the Buyer of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents
to which it is a party, the consummation of the transactions herein or therein contemplated, or performance and compliance by it
with the terms, conditions and provisions hereof or thereof, will (i) contravene in any material respect or result in any breach
of, any of the terms and provisions of, its articles of incorporation and memorandum of association, (ii) conflict with or
contravene (A) any applicable law, (B) any indenture, agreement or other contractual restriction binding on or affecting
it or any of its assets, including any Related Contract, or (C) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding
on or affecting it or any of its assets or properties or (iii) result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under, or permit the acceleration of any obligation or liability in, or but for any requirement of the giving of notice or the
passage of time (or both) would constitute such a conflict with, breach or violation of, or default under, or permit any such acceleration
in, any contractual obligation or any agreement or document to which it is a party or by which it or any of its assets are bound
(or to which any such obligation, agreement or document relates), in each case under this clause (d) which would have a Material
Adverse Effect.


 






     -22-


     


    

 


(e)           Governmental Authorizations; Private Authorizations; Governmental Filings. No order, consent, approval, license,
authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or
authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance of any Transaction Documents to which the Buyer is a party or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated
thereby other than those that have already been duly made or obtained and remain in full force and effect or those recordings and
filings in connection with the Liens granted to the Trustee under the Transaction Documents, except for any order, consent, approval,
license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption, that, if not obtained, would
not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(f)            Place of Business; No Changes. The Buyer’s location (within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC) is the State
of Delaware. The Buyer has not changed its name nor its location, within the four months preceding the Closing Date.
