ESTABLISHMENT OF ISSUER; TRANSFER OF LOAN ASSETS




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



     (a) The Issuer shall be created pursuant to the terms and conditions of
the Trust Agreement, upon the execution and delivery of the Trust Agreement and
the filing by the Owner Trustee of an appropriately completed Certificate of
Trust (as defined in the Trust Agreement) under the Statutory Trust Statute.
The Trust Depositor, as settlor of the Issuer, shall fund and convey assets to
the Issuer pursuant to the terms and provisions hereof. The Issuer shall be
administered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the Trust
Agreement for the benefit of the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties.
The Owner Trustee is hereby specifically recognized by the parties hereto as
empowered to conduct business dealings on behalf of the Issuer in accordance
with the terms hereof and of the Trust Agreement. The Servicer is hereby
specifically recognized by the parties hereto as empowered to act on behalf of
the Issuer and the Owner Trustee in accordance with Section 5.02(e) and
Section 5.02(h).



     (b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Trust Depositor hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise
conveys to the Issuer, for a purchase price consisting of $1,000,403,000 in
cash (less placement expenses and certain other expenses associated with the
initial offer and sale of the Notes the proceeds of which represent the



52









 





consideration paid by the Issuer herein), the Class E Note and the Certificate,
all the right, title and interest of the Trust Depositor in and to the
following, including but not limited to, all accounts, cash and currency,
chattel paper, electronic chattel paper, tangible chattel paper, copyrights,
copyright licenses, equipment, fixtures, general intangibles, instruments,
commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, inventory, investment property,
letter of credit rights, software, supporting obligations, accessions, and
other property consisting of, arising out of, or related to the following (the
Trust Depositor’s interest in items (i)–(vi) below, being collectively referred
to herein as the “Loan Assets” but in each case shall exclude any
Retained Interest):





     (i) the Initial Loans, all payments paid in respect thereof and all
monies due, to become due or paid in respect thereof accruing on and
after the Initial Cut–Off Date and all Liquidation Proceeds and
recoveries thereon, in each case as they arise after the Initial Cut–Off
Date, but not including the Retained Interest or Interest Collections
received prior to September 3, 2004;




     (ii) all security interests and Liens and Collateral subject thereto
from time to time purporting to secure payment by Obligors under such
Loans;




     (iii) all guaranties, indemnities and warranties, and other
agreements or arrangements of whatever character from time to time
supporting or securing payment of such Loans;




     (iv) the Trust Accounts, each Obligor Lock–Box, each Obligor
Lock–Box Account, the Lock–Box, the Lock–Box Account, and together with
all cash and investments in each of the foregoing;




     (v) all collections and records (including computer records) with
respect to the foregoing;




     (vi) all documents relating to the Loan Files; and




     (vii) all income, payments, proceeds and other benefits of any and
all of the foregoing.



To the extent the purchase price paid to the Trust Depositor for any Loan is
less than the fair market value of such Loan, the difference between such fair
market value and the purchase price shall be deemed to be a capital
contribution made by the Trust Depositor to the Issuer on the relevant Transfer
Date.




     (c) The Originator and the Trust Depositor acknowledge that the
representations and warranties of the Trust Depositor in Section 3.01(a)
through Section 3.01(e) will run to and be for the benefit of the
Issuer, the Trustees and the Hedge Counterparties, and the Issuer and the
Trustees may enforce, directly without joinder of Trust Depositor, the
repurchase obligations of the Originator with respect to breaches of such
representations and warranties as set forth herein and in Section 11.01.



     (d) The sale, transfer, assignment, set-over and conveyance of the Loan
Assets by the Trust Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement does not
constitute and is not intended



53









 





to result in a creation or an assumption by the
Trust Depositor or the Issuer of any obligation of the Originator in connection
with the Loan Assets, or any agreement or instrument relating thereto,
including, without limitation, any obligation to any Obligor, if any, not
financed by the Originator, or (i) any taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by
any Governmental Authority and (ii) any insurance premiums that remain owing
with respect to any Loan at the time such Loan is sold hereunder. The Trust
Depositor also hereby assigns to the Issuer all of the Trust Depositor’s right,
title and interest (but none of its obligations) under the Loan Sale Agreement,
including but not limited to the Trust Depositor’s right to exercise the
remedies created by the Loan Sale Agreement.




     (e) The Originator, Trust Depositor and Issuer intend and agree that (i)
the transfer of the Loan Assets to the Trust Depositor and the transfer of the
Loan Assets to the Issuer are 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 or the Trust Depositor’s estate in the event of
a filing of a bankruptcy petition or other action by or against such Person
under any Insolvency Law. In the event, however, that notwithstanding such
intent and agreement, such transfers are deemed to be of a mere security
interest to secure indebtedness, the Originator shall be deemed to have granted
the Trust Depositor and the Trust Depositor shall be deemed to have granted the
Issuer, as the case may be, a perfected first priority security interest in
such Loan Assets respectively and this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under Requirements of Law, securing the repayment of the purchase
price paid hereunder, the obligations and/or interests represented by the
Securities and the obligations of the Issuer under the Hedge Transactions and
the Hedge Agreements, in the order and priorities, and subject to the other
terms and conditions of, this Agreement, the Indenture, the Trust Agreement and
the Hedge Agreements, together with such other obligations or interests as may
arise hereunder and thereunder in favor of the parties hereto and thereto.



     (f) If any such transfer of the Loan Assets is deemed to be the mere
granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing, the Trust Depositor may,
to secure the Trust Depositor’s own borrowing under this Agreement (to the extent that the transfer of the
Loan Assets thereunder is deemed to be a mere granting of a security interest
to secure a borrowing) repledge and reassign (1) all or a portion of the Loan
Assets pledged to Trust Depositor by the Originator and with respect to which
the Trust Depositor has not released its security interest at the time of such
pledge and assignment, and (2) all proceeds thereof. Such repledge and
reassignment may be made by Trust Depositor with or without a repledge and
reassignment by Trust Depositor of its rights under any agreement with the
Originator, and without further notice to or acknowledgment from the
Originator. The Originator waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
all claims, causes of action and remedies, whether legal or equitable
(including any right of setoff), against Trust Depositor or any assignee of
Trust Depositor relating to such action by Trust Depositor in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

and (iv), 3.04, and 3.05 applicable to the
Substitute Loan (including without limitation that each such Substitute
Loan is an Eligible Loan) shall be true and correct as of the related
Subsequent Transfer Date; provided, however, that,
(A) with respect to the representation and warranty made by the Trust
Depositor in Section 3.05(a), such representation and warranty
shall only apply to a Loan that is being substituted for a Loan that is
not an Eligible Loan and (B) with respect to the representations and
warranties made by the Trust Depositor in Sections 3.03(iv) and
3.05, such representations and warranties shall be determined
based upon the Outstanding Loan Balances of the Substitute Loan as of the
applicable Subsequent Transfer Date over the Initial Aggregate
Outstanding Loan Balance;




     (viii) the Originator shall bear all incidental transactions costs
incurred in connection with a substitution effected pursuant to this
Agreement and shall, at its own expense, on or prior to the Subsequent
Transfer Date, indicate in its Computer Records that ownership of the
Substitute Loan identified on the Subsequent List of Loans in the
Subsequent Transfer Agreement has been sold to the Issuer through
the Trust Depositor pursuant to this Agreement; and




     (ix) prior to such substitution the Originator shall provide written
notice to each Rating Agency and shall have received written confirmation
from Moody’s and S&P (which shall respond to the Originator within
fifteen (15) Business Days after receiving written notice from the
Originator of its intention to substitute a Loan) that the proposed
substitution will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating
on the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the
Class B Notes, the Class C Notes or the Class D Notes; provided,
however, that any failure by either of Moody’s and S&P to respond
to the Originator shall be deemed a non–approval by Moody’s and/or S&P,
as applicable. In the case of Fitch, only notice to, not confirmation
from, Fitch shall be required in connection with a proposed substitution,
provided, however, that Fitch shall be entitled to receive from the
Originator financial statements, credit committee papers and such other
information relating to such Substitute Loan as is reasonably requested
by Fitch in connection with the proposed substitution of a Loan.



     (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.04 to the contrary,
in connection with any substitution to be effected pursuant to this Section
2.04, the number of Loans being replaced in connection with such
substitution must be less than or equal to the number of Substitute Loans added
to the Loan Pool.



     (f) The Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments, consents or other documents and perform all acts
reasonably requested by the



59









 





Servicer in order to effect the transfer and
release of any of the Issuer’s interests in the Loans that are being
substituted.




     Section 2.05. Release of Released Amounts.



     (a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Issuer has no
interest in the Retained Interest and Released Amounts. The Indenture Trustee
hereby agrees to release to the Issuer from the Loan Assets, and the Issuer
hereby agrees to release to the Trust Depositor, an amount equal to the
Released Amounts 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 Indenture Trustee or the Issuer;
provided, that, the Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee 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 Trust Depositor in writing. Such Released Amounts shall not
constitute and shall not be included in the Loan Assets.



     (b) Immediately upon the release to the Trust Depositor by the Indenture
Trustee of the Released Amounts, the Trust Depositor hereby irrevocably agrees
to release to the Originator such Released Amounts, which release shall be
automatic and shall require no further act by the Trust Depositor;
provided, that, the Trust Depositor shall execute and deliver
such instruments of release and assignment, or otherwise confirming the
foregoing release of any Released Amounts, as may be reasonably requested by
the Originator.



     Section 2.06. Delivery of Documents in the Loan File; Recording of
Assignments of Mortgage.



     (a) Subject to the delivery requirements set forth in Section 2.06(b), the
Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Originator and the Trust Depositor to
deliver possession of all the Loan Files to the Indenture Trustee (with copies
to be held by the Servicer) on behalf of and for the account of the
Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The Originator and the Trust
Depositor shall also identify on the List of Loans (including any deemed
amendment thereof associated with any Substitute Loans), whether by attached
schedule or marking or other effective identifying designation, all Loans that
are or are evidenced by such instruments.



     (b) With respect to each Loan in the Loan Pool on or before the related
Transfer Date, the Trust Depositor will deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Indenture Trustee, to the extent not previously delivered, each of the
documents in the Loan File with respect to such Loan, except that (i) the
original recorded Mortgage, in those instances where a copy thereof certified
by a Responsible Officer of the Originator was delivered to the Indenture
Trustee, will be delivered or caused to be delivered within ten Business Days
after receipt thereof, and in any event within one year after the related
Transfer Date, and (ii) any intervening Assignments of Mortgage, in those
instances where copies thereof certified by the Originator were delivered to
the Indenture Trustee, will be delivered or caused to be delivered within ten
Business Days after the receipt thereof, and in any event, within one year of
the related Transfer Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing in clauses (i)
and (ii) of this Section 2.06(b), in those instances where the
public recording office retains the original Mortgage or the intervening
Assignments of the Mortgage after it has been recorded, the Trust Depositor
shall be deemed to have satisfied



60









 





its obligations hereunder upon delivery to
the Indenture Trustee of a copy of such Mortgage or Assignments of Mortgage
certified by the public recording office to be a true copy of the recorded
original thereof.




     (c) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default,
the Indenture Trustee shall not record the Assignments of Mortgage delivered
pursuant to Section 2.06(b). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
or a Servicer Default, the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be recorded in the
appropriate offices each Assignment of Mortgage delivered to it. Each such
recording shall be at the expense of the Servicer; provided,
however, to the extent the Servicer does not pay such expense then the
Indenture Trustee shall be reimbursed pursuant to the provisions of Section
7.05.



     Section 2.07. Optional Purchase by the Servicer of Certain Loans;
Limitations on Substitution and Repurchase.



     (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.07(b), the
Servicer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase any (i)
Prepaid Loan, (ii) Charged–Off Loan, (iii) Delinquent Loan, (iv) Loan that has
a material covenant default, (v) Loan which has become subject to a Material
Modification of the type specified in clause (ii) of the definition
thereof, or (vi) Loan that has become subject to a Specified Amendment. In the
event of such a purchase, the Servicer shall deposit in the Principal and
Interest Account, on the next succeeding Determination Date, an amount equal to
the Transfer Deposit Amount for such Loan (or applicable portion thereof) as of
the date of such purchase. The Servicer, the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments, consents or
other documents and perform all acts reasonably requested by the Servicer in
order to effect the transfer and release of any of the Issuer’s interests in
the Loans that are being purchased.



     (b) In no event may the initial aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of (i)
Prepaid Loans, (ii) Charged–Off Loans, (iii) Delinquent Loans, (iv) Loans that
have a material covenant default, and (v) Loans which have become subject to a
Material Modification of the type specified in clause (ii) of the
definition thereof (without regard to whether such Material Modification may
otherwise constitute a Material Modification of a type specified in clause
(i) of the definition thereof), purchased pursuant to Section
2.07(a) or substituted pursuant to Section 2.04, exceed an amount
equal to 20% of the Initial Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance.



     Section 2.08. Certification by Indenture Trustee; Possession of Loan
Files.



     (a) On or prior to the applicable Transfer Date, the Indenture Trustee
shall review the portion of the Loan File required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 2.06(b) on the applicable Transfer Date and shall deliver to the
Originator, the Trust Depositor, each Hedge Counterparty and the Servicer a
certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L–1 on or prior to
such Transfer Date. Within two Business Days after the Indenture Trustee
receives the portion of the Loan File permitted to be delivered after the
applicable Transfer Date pursuant to Section 2.06(b), the Indenture
Trustee shall deliver to the Originator, the Trust Depositor, each Hedge
Counterparty and the Servicer a certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit L–1. Within 360 days after each Transfer Date (or, with respect
to any Substitute Loan, within 360 days after the assignment thereof), the
Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Originator, the Servicer, the



61









 





Trust
Depositor, each Hedge Counterparty and any Noteholder who requests a copy from
the Indenture Trustee a final certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit L–2 evidencing the completeness of the Loan Files with respect
to the Loans being transferred on such Transfer Date.




     (b) If the Indenture Trustee during the process of reviewing the Loan
Files finds any document constituting a part of a Loan File which is not
properly executed, has not been received, is unrelated to a Loan identified in
the List of Loans, or does not conform in a material respect to the
requirements of the definition of Loan File, or the description thereof as set
forth in the List of Loans, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly so notify the
Originator, the Trust Depositor and the Servicer. In performing any such
review, the Indenture Trustee 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 Indenture Trustee’s review of the Loan Files
is limited solely to confirming that the documents listed in the definition of
Loan File have been executed and received and relate to the Loans identified in
the List of Loans; provided, however, with respect to the UCC
financing statements referenced in clause (a)(iii) of the definition of
Required Loan Documents, the Indenture Trustee’s sole responsibility will be to
confirm that the Loan File contains UCC financing statements and not to make
determinations about the materiality of such UCC financing statements. The
Originator agrees to use reasonable efforts to remedy a material defect in a
document constituting part of a Loan File of which it is so notified by the
Indenture Trustee. If, however, within 30 days after the Indenture Trustee’s
notice to it respecting such material 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 will (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
Principal and Interest Account within such 30 day period.



     (c) Release of Entire Loan File Upon Substitution or Repurchase.
Subject to Section 5.08(a), upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a
certification of a Servicing Officer of the Servicer of such substitution or of
such purchase and the deposit of the amounts described in Section 2.07
or Section 2.08(b) in the Principal and Interest Account (which
certification shall be in the form of Exhibit M hereto), the Indenture
Trustee shall release to the Servicer for release to the Originator the related
Loan File and the Indenture 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 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 Collateral. 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 Collateral) 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 Collateral, the Servicer shall deliver to the
Indenture Trustee a certificate to such effect in the form attached as
Exhibit M hereto. Subject to Section 5.08(d), upon receipt of
such certification, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer within
two 2 Business Days of such request (if such request was received by 2:00 p.m.,
central time), the requested documentation, and the Indenture Trustee shall
execute, without recourse, and deliver such



62









 





instruments of transfer necessary
to release all or the requested part of the Collateral from the Lien of the
related Loan and/or the Lien under the Transaction Documents.




     (e) Annual Certification. On the Remittance Date in October of
each year, commencing October, 2005, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the
Originator, the Trust Depositor, each Hedge Counterparty and the Servicer a
certification detailing all transactions with respect to the Loans for which
the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee during the prior calendar
year, the date of such release or return and the reason for such release or
return.



 ARTICLE 3. 




REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES




     The Trust Depositor makes, and upon execution of each Subsequent Purchase
Agreement is deemed to make, the following representations and warranties in
Section 3.01 through Section 3.05, on which the Issuer will rely
in purchasing the Loan Assets on the
Closing Date (and on any Subsequent Transfer Date), and on which the
Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties will rely.



     Such representations and warranties are given as of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date (or Subsequent Transfer
Date, as applicable), but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of
the Loan Assets to the Issuer. The repurchase obligation or substitution
obligation of the Trust Depositor set forth in Section 11.01 constitutes
the sole remedy available for a breach of a representation or warranty of the
Trust Depositor set forth in Section 3.01 through Section 3.05 of
this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.04(d)(vii),
the Trust Depositor shall not be deemed to be remaking any of the
representations set forth in Section 3.03 on a Subsequent Transfer Date
with respect to the Substitute Loans, as such representations relate solely to
the composition of the Initial Loans conveyed on the Closing Date.



     Section 3.01. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Trust
Depositor.



     By its execution of this Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement,
the Trust Depositor represents and warrants to the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties that:



     (a) Organization and Good Standing. The Trust Depositor is a
limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of Delaware and has the power to own its assets and to transact
the business in which it is currently engaged. The Trust Depositor is duly
qualified to do business as a foreign entity 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 Trust
Depositor or the Issuer.



63









 





     (b) Authorization; Valid Sale; Binding Obligations. The Trust
Depositor 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 it 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 it is a party and to cause the Issuer to be created. This
Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement, if any, shall effect a valid
sale, transfer and assignment of or grant a security interest in the Loan
Assets from the Trust Depositor to the Issuer, enforceable against the Trust
Depositor and creditors of and purchasers from the Trust Depositor. This
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Trust Depositor is a
party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Trust Depositor
enforceable in accordance with their 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 Trust Depositor 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.



     (d) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party by the
Trust Depositor, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to the Trust
Depositor, or conflict with, result in a default under or constitute a breach
of the Trust Depositor’s organizational documents or Contractual Obligations to
which the Trust Depositor is a party or by which the Trust Depositor or any of
the Trust Depositor’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 Trust Depositor threatened, against the Trust Depositor or any
of its properties or with respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party or the Securities (i) that, if adversely
determined, would in the reasonable judgment of the Trust Depositor be expected
to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Trust Depositor or the Issuer or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents
to which the Trust Depositor is a party or (ii) seeking to adversely affect the
federal income tax or other federal, state or local tax attributes of the
Certificate or Notes.



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



64









 





     (g) Taxes. The Trust Depositor has filed or caused to be filed all
tax returns which, to its knowledge, are required to be filed and has put 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 Trust Depositor); no tax Lien has been filed and, to the Trust
Depositor’s knowledge, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such
tax, fee or other charge.



     (h) Place of Business; No Changes. The Trust Depositor’s location
(within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC) is as set forth in Section
13.04. The Trust Depositor has not changed its name, whether by amendment
of its certificate of formation, by reorganization or otherwise, and has not
changed its location within the 4-months preceding the Closing Date.



     (i) Not an Investment Company. The Trust Depositor 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.



     (j) Sale Treatment. Other than for tax and accounting purposes,
the Trust Depositor has treated the transfer of Loan Assets to the Trust
Depositor 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 the Loan Assets in favor of the
Issuer, 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 Trust Depositor;




     (ii) the Loans, along with the related Loan Files, constitute either
a “general intangible,” an “instrument,” an “account,” “investment
property,” or “chattel paper,” within the meaning of the applicable UCC;




     (iii) the Issuer owns and has 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 Trust Depositor 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 Trust Depositor 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 such Loan Assets granted to the Issuer under this Agreement;




     (vi) other than the security interest granted to the Issuer pursuant
to this Agreement, the Trust Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold,
granted a security interest in or otherwise conveyed any of such Loan
Assets. The Trust Depositor has not



65









 






authorized the filing of and is not
aware of any financing statements against the Trust Depositor that
include a description of collateral covering such Loan Assets other than
any financing statement (A) relating to the security interest granted to
the Trust Depositor under the Loan Sale Agreement, or (B) that has been
terminated. The Trust Depositor is not aware of the filing of any
judgment or tax Lien filings against the Trust Depositor;




     (vii) all original executed copies of each Underlying Note (if any)
that constitute or evidence the Loan Assets have been delivered to the
Indenture Trustee, and in the case of Noteless Loans, a copy of each
related Note Register, certified by a Responsible Officer of the
Originator, has been delivered to the Indenture Trustee;




     (viii) the Trust Depositor has received a written acknowledgment
from the Indenture Trustee that the Indenture Trustee or its bailee is
holding any Underlying Notes that constitute or evidence any Loan Assets
solely on behalf of and for the benefit of the Securityholders and the
Hedge Counterparties; and




     (ix) none of the Underlying Notes that constitute or evidence any
Loan Assets has any marks or notations indicating that they have been
pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the
Issuer.



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



     (m) Investment Company. The Issuer 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” within the meaning of the
1940 Act.



     (n) No Defaults. The Trust Depositor 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 Trust Depositor 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 Trust Depositor pursuant to this Agreement are not subject to
the bulk transfer laws or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any
applicable jurisdiction.



     (p) Origination and Collection Practices. The origination and
collection practices used with respect to each Loan have been in all material
respects legal, proper and prudent and comply with the Credit and Collection
Policy.



     (q) Adequacy of Consideration. The Trust Depositor will receive
fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the sale of
the Loans.



66









 





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



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



     (t) Accuracy of Information. All written factual information
heretofore furnished by the Trust Depositor for purposes of or in connection
with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which Trust Depositor
is a party, or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such
written factual information hereafter furnished by the Trust Depositor to any
such party will be, true and accurate in every material respect, on the date
such information is stated or certified.



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 Trust Depositor and Issuer (i) shall not, without satisfaction of the S&P
Rating Condition with respect thereto, waive any breach of the representations
and warranties in Section 3.01(k), and (ii) shall provide S&P with
prompt written notice of any breach of the representations and warranties set
out in Section 3.01(k).




     Section 3.02. Representations and Warranties Regarding Each Loan and
as to Certain Loans in the Aggregate.



     The Trust Depositor represents and warrants (x) with respect to Section
3.02(a), Section 3.02(b), Section 3.02(d) and Section
3.02(e) as to each Loan as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and on the Closing Date, and as of each Subsequent Transfer Date with respect
to each Substitute Loan, and (y) with respect to Section 3.02(c), as to
the Loan Pool in the aggregate as of the Initial Cut–Off Date, and as of each
Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to Substitute Loans (after giving effect
to the addition of such Substitute Loans to the Loan Pool), that:



     (a) List of Loans. The information set forth in the List of Loans
attached hereto as Exhibit G (as the same may be amended or deemed
amended in respect of a conveyance of Substitute Loans on a Subsequent Transfer
Date) is true, complete and correct as of the applicable Cut–Off Date.



     (b) Eligible Loan. Such Loan satisfies the criteria for the
definition of Eligible Loan set forth in this Agreement as of the date of its
conveyance hereunder.



     (c) Loans Secured by Real Property. Less than 40% of the Aggregate
Outstanding Loan Balance of the Loan Pool as of the Initial Cut–Off Date
consists of Loans principally secured by real property, and the Trust Depositor
will not effectuate the transfer of a Substitute Loan if such transfer would
cause more than 40% of the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of the Loan Pool
as of any Subsequent Transfer Date to consist of Loans principally secured by
real property.



67









 





     (d) Underlying Custodial Agreements. With respect to each Pooled
Obligor Loan, the underlying loan documents and other collateral pledged by the
Underlying Debtors is held by an Underlying Custodian for the benefit of the
Originator and its assignees. The Originator’s rights under each such
Underlying Custodial Agreement are fully assignable and have been assigned by
it to the Trust Depositor, and assigned by the Trust Depositor to the Issuer in
connection with the transfer of the Loan Assets.



     Section 3.03. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Initial
Loans in the Aggregate.



     The Trust Depositor represents and warrants, on the Closing Date, that as
of the Initial Cut–Off Date, the Initial Loans have the following additional
characteristics: (i) no Loan has a remaining maturity of more than 71 months;
(ii) the date of the final Scheduled Payment on the Loan with the latest
maturity is not later than August 20, 2010; (iii) no Loan was originated after
the Initial Cut–Off Date; and (iv) none of the Initial Loans provide for
Scheduled Payments of interest due on a basis other than monthly or quarterly.



     Section 3.04. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Loan
Files. 



     The Trust Depositor represents and warrants on the Closing Date with
respect to the Initial Loans (or as of the Subsequent Transfer Date, with
respect to Substitute Loans), that (i) to the extent any such Loans were
pledged under the CP Funding Transaction, the Citi Warehouse, the CP Funding
III Transaction or the CP Acquisition Transaction, immediately prior to such
date (as applicable), the Originator and/or a collateral custodian under the CP
Funding Transaction, the Citi Warehouse, the CP Funding III Transaction or the
CP Acquisition Transaction had possession of each original Underlying Note
(except in the case of Noteless Loans) and the related complete Loan File, and
there were no other custodial agreements relating to the same in effect and
(ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.06, the complete Loan
File for each Loan is in the possession of the Indenture Trustee.



     Section 3.05. Representations and Warranties Regarding Concentrations
of Initial Loans. 



     The Trust Depositor represents and warrants on the Closing Date, as to the
composition of the Initial Loans in the Loan Pool as of the Initial Cut–Off
Date, that:



     (a) the sum of the Outstanding Loan Balances of Obligors that are in the
same industry (by NAICS Code) shall not exceed 18.9% of the Initial Aggregate
Outstanding Loan Balance;



     (b) the sum of the Outstanding Loan Balances of the six (6) largest
Obligors shall not exceed 49.1% of the Initial Aggregate Outstanding Loan
Balance; and



     (c) the sum of the Outstanding Loan Balances of Obligors that have their
primary business in the same State of the United States shall not exceed 12.8%
of the Initial Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance.



     Section 3.06. Representations and Warranties Regarding the
Servicer. 



68









 





     The Servicer represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties 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 its organization and has the limited liability
company power to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is
currently engaged. The Servicer is duly qualified to do business as a foreign
limited liability company 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
corporate 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 obligation of the Servicer
enforceable in accordance with their 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 of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party
by the Servicer will not violate any Requirements of 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



69









 





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.




     (f) Reports. All reports, certificates and other written
information furnished by the Servicer with respect to the Loans are correct in
all material respects.



     Section 3.07. Representations and Warranties of the Backup
Servicer. 



     The Backup Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee, the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties, as
follows:



     (a) Organization. It is a national banking association duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the federal laws of the
United States with all requisite power and authority to own its properties and
to conduct its business as presently conducted and to enter into and perform
its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.



     (b) Good Standing. The Backup Servicer is duly qualified to do
business as a national banking association and is in good standing, and has
obtained all necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which
the ownership or lease of its property and the conduct of its business requires
such qualification, licenses or approvals, except where the failure to so
qualify or have such licenses or approvals has not had, and would not be
reasonably expected to have, a material adverse effect on the interests of the
Securityholders or the Hedge Counterparties.



     (c) Authorization. It has the power and authority to execute and
deliver this Agreement and to carry out its terms. It has duly authorized the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by all requisite action.



     (d) No Violations. The consummation of the transactions
contemplated by, and the fulfillment of the terms of, this Agreement by it will
not violate any Requirements of Law or conflict with, result in any breach of
any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, its
organizational documents or any Contractual Obligations by which it or any of
its property is bound or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon
any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any Contractual Obligations.



     (e) No Consent Required. No consent, approval, authorization,
order, registration, filing, qualification, license or permit of or with any
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it or any of its respective
properties is required to be obtained in order for it to enter into this
Agreement or perform its obligations hereunder.



     (f) Binding Obligation. This Agreement constitutes its legal,
valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except
as such enforceability may be limited by applicable Insolvency Laws and general
principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity).



70









 





     (g) Litigation. There are no proceedings or investigations pending
or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened, against it before any
Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (ii)
seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement or (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that might (in its
reasonable judgment) have a material adverse effect on the interests of the
Securityholders or the Hedge Counterparties.



ARTICLE 4. 




PERFECTION OF TRANSFER AND

PROTECTION OF SECURITY INTERESTS




     Section 4.01. Custody of Loans. 



     The contents of each Loan File shall be held in the custody of the
Indenture Trustee under the Indenture for the benefit of, and as agent for, the
Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties.



     Section 4.02. Filing. 



     On or prior to the Closing Date, the Originator, Trust Depositor and
Servicer shall cause the UCC financing statement(s) referred to in Section
2.02(i) hereof to be filed, and from time to time the Servicer shall take
and cause to be taken such actions and execute such documents as are necessary
or desirable or as the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee (acting at the
direction of the Majority Noteholders or any Hedge Counterparty) may reasonably
request to perfect and protect the Indenture Trustee’s first priority perfected
security interest in the Loan Assets against all other Persons, including,
without limitation, the filing of financing statements, amendments thereto and
continuation statements, the execution of transfer instruments and the making
of notations on or taking possession of all records or documents of title.
Notwithstanding the obligations of the Originator, Trust Depositor and Servicer
set forth in the preceding sentence, the Originator, Trust Depositor and
Servicer hereby authorize the Owner Trustee to prepare and file, at the expense
of the Servicer, UCC financing statements (including but not limited to
renewal, continuation or in lieu statements) and amendments or supplements
thereto or other instruments as the Owner Trustee may from time to time deem
necessary or appropriate in order to perfect and maintain the security interest
granted hereunder in accordance with the UCC.



     Section 4.03. Changes in Name, Corporate Structure or Location. 



     (a) During the term of this Agreement, none of the Originator, the
Servicer, the Trust Depositor or the Issuer shall change its name, identity,
structure, existence, state of formation or location without first giving at
least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
and each Hedge Counterparty.



     (b) If any change in either the Servicer’s, the Originator’s or the Trust
Depositor’s name, identity, structure, existence, state of formation, location
or other action would make any financing or continuation statement or notice of
ownership interest or Lien relating to any Loan Asset seriously misleading
within the meaning of applicable provisions of the UCC or any title statute,
the Servicer, no later than five Business Days after the effective date of such
change,



71









 





shall file such amendments as may be required to preserve and protect
the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Loan Assets and the proceeds
thereof. Promptly after taking any of the foregoing actions, the Servicer
shall deliver to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee
stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements or
amendments necessary to preserve and protect the Indenture Trustee’s security
interest in the Loan Assets have been filed, and reciting the details of such
filing.




     Section 4.04. Costs and Expenses. 



     The Servicer agrees to pay all reasonable costs and disbursements in
connection with the perfection and the maintenance of perfection, as against
all third parties, of the Trustees’ and
Issuer’s right, title and interest in and to the Loan Assets (including,
without limitation, the security interest in the Collateral related thereto and
the security interests provided for in the Indenture); provided,
however, to the extent permitted by the Required Loan Documents, the
Servicer may seek reimbursement for such costs and disbursements from the
related Obligors.



     Section 4.05. Sale Treatment. 



     Other than for tax and accounting purposes, the Trust Depositor shall

     The Originator agrees to take or refrain from taking or engaging in with
respect to the Trust Depositor each of the actions or activities specified in
the “substantive consolidation” opinion of Patton Boggs LLP (including any
certificates of the Originator attached thereto) delivered on the Closing Date,
upon which the conclusions therein are based.



 ARTICLE 5. 




 SERVICING OF LOANS 




     Section 5.01. Appointment and Acceptance. 



     CapitalSource is hereby appointed as Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.
CapitalSource accepts the appointment and agrees to act as the Servicer
pursuant to this Agreement.



     Section 5.02. Duties of the Servicer. 



     (a) The Servicer, as an independent contract servicer, shall service and
administer the Loans 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 and the Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer may
enter into Subservicing Agreements for any servicing and administration of
Loans with any entity provided the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied. The
Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in
accordance with the terms and conditions of



72









 





such Subservicing Agreement and to
either itself directly service the related Loans or enter into a Subservicing
Agreement with a successor Subservicer which qualifies hereunder.




     (b) Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of
this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and
a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise,
so long as this Agreement shall remain effective, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and primarily liable to the Indenture Trustee, for itself and on
behalf of the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties, for the servicing
and administering of the Loans in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the Credit and Collection Policy, without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the
Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions
as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Loans. For
purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received
payments on Loans when any Subservicer has received such payments. The
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer for
indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer, and nothing contained in
this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.



     (c) Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Loans involving a Subservicer in its
capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the
Subservicer and the Servicer alone, and the Indenture Trustee, the
Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties shall not be deemed parties
thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities
with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in Section 5.02(d).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall (i) at its expense and
without reimbursement, deliver to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each
Subservicing Agreement and (ii) provide notice of the termination of any
Subservicer within a reasonable time after such Subservicer’s termination to
the Indenture Trustee.



     (d) In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Servicer, the Servicer at its expense and without right of reimbursement
therefor, shall, upon request of the Indenture Trustee, deliver to the
Successor Servicer all documents and records (including computer tapes and
diskettes) relating to each Subservicing Agreement and 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 the Subservicing Agreements to the assuming party.



     (e) Modifications and Waivers Relating to Loans.




     (i) So long as it is consistent with the Credit and Collection
Policy, the Servicer may 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 or the
Hedge Counterparties; provided, however, the Servicer may
not:




     (A) amend, waive, modify or vary any Loan in any manner that
would extend the stated maturity date of such Loan beyond August
20, 2013; or



73









 






     (B) enter into any amendment, waiver, modification or variance
with respect to any loan for the purpose or with the intention of
causing a Substitution Event to occur with respect to such Loan
solely in order to render such loan eligible for repurchase or
substitution hereunder or to otherwise make such Loan eligible for
repurchase pursuant to Section 2.07.




If any Loan is amended, modified, waived or varied due to an Obligor’s
inability to pay principal (excluding payments of principal consisting of
excess cash flow sweeps) or interest, then the Loan shall be treated as a
Delinquent Loan as of the date that is one day in case of Asset Based
Revolvers or 60 days in the case of all other Loans after such
delinquent payment was first due if all delinquencies have not been cured
within that one day or 60 day period, as applicable.




     (ii) Except as expressly set forth in Section 5.02(e)(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. The Servicer will provide (x) Moody’s and Fitch with a written
summary of any such amendment, waiver, modification or variance and (y)
S&P with a written summary of any Specified Amendment, in each case
promptly after its execution and, promptly upon request by any Rating
Agency, a copy of any such waiver, modification or variance. Such
summary shall set forth a brief description of the reasons for, and the
effect of, such waiver, modification or variance, and shall indicate
whether such waiver, modification or variance constitutes a Specified
Amendment.




     (iii) With respect to each of the modifications described in
clause (a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iv)-(vii) and clause
(b) of the definition of Specified Amendment, the Servicer may elect
to submit the modified (or overadvanced, as applicable) Loan to S&P to be
re-rated. If the Servicer does not elect to have such Loan re-rated by
S&P, then such Loan shall be deemed to be a Delinquent Loan as of the
date that is 60 days after the effective date of the relevant Specified
Amendment. Any Loan which is subject to a modification described in
clause (a)(iii) of the definition of Specified Amendment will be deemed
to be a Delinquent Loan upon the effectiveness of such Specified
Amendment. If the Servicer elects to have such Loan re-rated by S&P,
then at any time during such process, including up to 90 days after
Servicer receives the revised rating of the Loan, the Servicer may
repurchase such Loan. The provisions of this Section 5.02(e)(iii)
shall not apply to modifications, amendments or variances that do not
constitute Specified Amendments.




     (iv) No costs incurred by the Servicer or any Subservicer in respect
of Servicing Advances shall for the purposes of distributions to
Noteholders or Hedge Counterparties be added to the amount owing under
the related Loan. Any fees and costs imposed in connection therewith may
be retained by the Servicer. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, so long as it is consistent with the Credit and Collection
Policy, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, the
Owner Trustee, each Securityholder and each Hedge Counterparty, 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 Collateral. Such
authority shall include,



74









 






but not be limited to, the authority to
substitute or release items of Collateral consistent with the Credit and
Collection Policy and sell participations or assignments in Loans
previously transferred to the Issuer. In connection with any such sale,
the Servicer shall deposit in the Principal and Interest Account,
pursuant to Section 7.03(b), all proceeds received upon such sale.
If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, on behalf
of the Issuer, shall furnish the Servicer, within five (5) 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. Any
such request to the Indenture Trustee,
on behalf of the Issuer, shall be accompanied by a certification in
the form of Exhibit L attached hereto signed by a Servicing
Officer. In connection with any substitution of Collateral, the Servicer
shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee the items, and within the time
frame, set forth in Section 2.06, assuming that the date of
substitution is the relevant “Transfer Date.”



     (f) The Servicer, in servicing and administering the Loans, shall act in
good faith, exercise commercially reasonable judgment and reasonable care,
consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, employ or cause to be
employed procedures (including collection, foreclosure, Foreclosed Property and
Repossessed Collateral management procedures), prudent lending standards and
exercise a degree of skill and attention not less than that which it
customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering loans for its
own account and in a manner consistent with those policies and procedures as
are customarily used by reasonable and prudent servicers of national repute in
connection with servicing of assets of the nature and of the character of the
Loans, giving due consideration to the Noteholders’ and Hedge Counterparties’
reliance on the Servicer. The Servicer shall not permit an Obligor of a
Revolving Loan to receive an Overadvance thereunder for the purpose of making
payments of principal or interest (in whole or in part) due with respect to a
Term Loan, where any portion of such Revolving Loan or Term Loan, as
applicable, shall constitute a part of the Loan Assets hereunder or an asset of
any Prior Term Transaction.



     (g) Hedge Covenants.




     (i) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, if on any date
either:




     (A) the then current Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge
Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap transactions) hedging
the Fixed Rate Loans exceeds the then Outstanding Loan Balance of
the Fixed Rate Loans for the corresponding Due Period by more than
the Fixed Rate Permitted Excess Amount; or




     (B) the Aggregate Notional Amount for any future calculation
period of all Hedge Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap
transactions) hedging the Fixed Rate Loans exceeds the projected
Outstanding Loan Balance of the Fixed Rate Loans for the
corresponding Due Period by more than the Fixed Rate Permitted
Excess Amount;



then, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Determination Date
preceding the next Remittance Date, the Servicer will notify the Indenture
Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties




75









 








and the Rating Agencies of such event and
with effect on such next Remittance Date one or more of the Hedge Transactions
(excluding any interest rate cap transactions) hedging the Fixed Rate Loans
will be reduced or amended in accordance with the terms of the applicable Hedge
Agreements so that the Aggregate Notional Amount for each calculation period of
the Hedge Transactions hedging the Fixed Rate Loans will not exceed the
Outstanding Loan Balance of the Fixed Rate Loans at the end of the
corresponding Due Period or as projected to be outstanding at the end of the
corresponding Due Period.





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




     (A) the then current Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge
Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap transactions) hedging
the Floating Prime Rate Loans exceeds the then Outstanding Loan
Balance of the Floating Prime Rate Loans for the corresponding Due
Period by more than the Floating Prime Rate Permitted Excess
Amount; or




     (B) the Aggregate Notional Amount for any future calculation
period of all Hedge Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap
transactions) hedging the Floating Prime Rate Loans exceeds the
projected Outstanding Loan Balance of the Floating Prime Rate Loans
for the corresponding Due Period by more than the Floating Prime
Rate Permitted Excess Amount;



then, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Determination Date
preceding the next Remittance Date, the Servicer will notify the Indenture
Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties and the Rating Agencies of such event and
with effect on such next Remittance Date one or more of the Hedge Transactions
hedging the Floating Prime Rate Loans will be reduced or amended in accordance
with the terms of the applicable Hedge Agreements so that the Aggregate
Notional Amount of the Hedge Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap
transactions) hedging the Floating Prime Rate Loans will not exceed the
Outstanding Loan Balance of the Floating Prime Rate Loans at the end of the
corresponding Due Period or as projected to be outstanding at the end of the
corresponding Due Period.





     (iii) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, if on any date
either:




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




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



then, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Determination Date
preceding the next Remittance Date, the Servicer will notify the Indenture
Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties and the Rating Agencies of such event and
with effect on such next Remittance Date one or more of the Hedge Transactions
(excluding any interest rate cap transactions) will be reduced or




76









 








amended in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Hedge Agreements so that the
Aggregate Notional Amount of the Hedge Transactions for any future calculation
period will not exceed the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes
for the corresponding Interest Accrual Period.




     (h) In accordance with the power set forth in Section 2.01(a), the
Servicer shall perform the duties of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee under the
Transaction Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Servicer shall
consult with the Owner Trustee as the Servicer
deems appropriate regarding the duties of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee
under the Transaction Documents. The Servicer shall monitor the performance of
the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and shall advise the Owner Trustee when action
is necessary to comply with the Issuer’s or the Owner Trustee’s duties under
the Transaction Documents. The Servicer shall prepare for execution by the
Owner Trustee or 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 or the Owner Trustee to prepare,
file or deliver pursuant to the Transaction Documents.



     (i) In addition to the duties of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement
or any of the Transaction Documents, the Servicer shall perform such
calculations and shall prepare for execution by the Issuer or the Owner Trustee
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 or the Owner Trustee, the 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 or the Owner Trustee and are reasonably
within the capability of the Servicer.



     (j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any of the Transaction
Documents to the contrary, the Servicer shall be responsible for promptly (upon
knowledge thereof) notifying the Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent in the
event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Issuer’s payments (or
allocations of income) to a Securityholder. Any such notice shall be in
writing and specify the amount of any withholding tax required to be withheld
by the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent pursuant to such provision.



     (k) All tax returns will be signed by the Servicer on behalf of the
Issuer.



     (l) The Servicer shall maintain appropriate books of account and records
relating to services performed under this Agreement, which books of account and
records shall be reasonably accessible for inspection by the Owner Trustee and
each Hedge Counterparty at any time during normal business hours.



     (m) Without the prior written consent of the Majority Noteholders and the
Hedge Counterparties and subject to the satisfaction of the S&P Rating
Condition and the Moody’s Rating Condition, the Servicer shall not agree or
consent to, or otherwise permit to occur, any amendment, modification, change,
supplement or rescission of or to the Credit and Collection Policy, in whole or
in part, in any manner that could have a material adverse effect on the Loans.



77









 





     (n) For so long as any of the Notes are outstanding and are “restricted
securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (i) the
Servicer will provide or cause to be provided to any holder of such Notes and
any 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 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.



     (o) The Servicer will keep in full force and effect its existence, rights
and franchise as a Delaware limited liability company, and the Servicer shall
obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign limited
liability company in 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.



     (p) The Servicer shall be obligated to make the Servicing Advances (but
not Scheduled Payment Advances) incurred in the performance of its servicing
duties hereunder. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such
Servicing Advances from the Collections received from the Loan to which such
Servicing Advances relate pursuant to Section 5.10(d) and Section
7.03(h). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no
event shall the application of Servicing Advances or Scheduled Payment Advances
prevent a Loan from being or becoming a Delinquent Loan or Charged–Off Loan, as
applicable.



     (q) The Servicer shall not be responsible for any taxes on the Issuer or
any Servicing Fees to any Successor Servicer.



     (r) All payments (other than Prepayments) received on Loans will be
applied by the Servicer to amounts due by the Obligor starting with the most
recent Scheduled Payment.



     (s) The Servicer shall be responsible for any tax reporting, disclosure,
record keeping or list maintenance requirements of the Issuer under Internal
Revenue Code Sections 6011(a), 6111(d) or 6112, including, but not limited to,
the preparation of IRS Form 8886 pursuant to Federal Income Tax Regulations
Section 1.6011-4(d) or any successor provision and any required list
maintenance under Federal Income Tax Regulations Section 301.6112-1 or any
successor provision.



     (t) The Servicer shall notify the Backup Servicer of any material
modification to its servicing system.



     (u) The initial Servicer shall provide to S&P financial statements for
each Obligor of a Loan included in the Loan Pool, within 13 months after the
Closing Date and every thirteen months thereafter, until such time as the
related Loan has been paid in full or is no longer part of the Loan Pool. Any
failure by the initial Servicer to provide financial statements with respect to
any Obligor at such times shall result in each Loan to the applicable Obligor
being deemed to have an S&P rating of CCC-.



78









 





     (v) The initial Servicer shall provide to Moody’s annual financial
statements for each Obligor of a Loan included in the Loan Pool as promptly as
reasonably practicable after such financial statements are delivered to the
Servicer after the end of each Obligor’s fiscal year, until such time as the
related Loan has been paid in full or is no longer part of the Loan Pool.



     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, the Servicer in accordance with the Credit and
Collection Policy shall take such action as shall maximize the amount of
recovery thereon and it shall deem to be in the best interests of the
Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The Servicer, consistent with its
Credit and Collection Policy, may accelerate all payments due thereunder 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 Collateral
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
and shall act as sales and processing agent for the Collateral that is
repossessed. 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 with the same degree of care and
skill in its exercise or use as it would exercise with respect to its own
affairs, in accordance with prudent servicing standards, and in accordance with
the Credit and Collection Policy. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Servicer may not sell any such Collateral without first using
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain bids to purchase such Collateral from
at least three (3) Persons (other than the Servicer or any of its Affiliates).
The Servicer may sell the Collateral to the highest bidder (if any bids are
received) or the Servicer or an Affiliate may purchase the Collateral for a
price equal to the highest bid, but in no event may the Servicer sell any
Collateral for less than the then fair market value of the Collateral. If no
bids are received and the Servicer has used commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain such bids, the Servicer or an Affiliate may purchase the Collateral for
a price equal to the then fair market value of such Collateral. Any such sale
of the Collateral is to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer
of the Servicer delivered to the Indenture Trustee setting forth the Loan, the
Collateral, the sale price of the Collateral and certifying that such sale
price is the fair market value of such Collateral. In any case in which any
such Collateral has suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in
connection with any repair or toward the repossession of such Collateral 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.



     (b) Prior to undertaking foreclosure of any Loan secured by real property
and any improvements thereon including any Mortgaged Property of a Material
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer must investigate environmental conditions,
including, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, the performance
of a Phase I and/or Phase II environmental site assessment, to ascertain the
actual or potential presence of any hazardous material on or under such
property. For purposes of this Agreement, the term hazardous material includes
(1) any hazardous substance, as defined by the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of



79









 





1986, 42 U.S.C. 9601–9675, and (2)
petroleum (as that term is defined at 42 U.S.C. §6991) including any
derivative, fraction, by–product, constituent or breakdown product thereof, or
additive thereto. In the event that the environmental investigation determines
the existence of any hazardous material on or under the real property in excess
of minimum action levels established by relevant regulatory agencies, title to
such property shall not be taken without satisfaction of the Rating Agency
Condition.




     (c) After a Loan has been liquidated, the Servicer shall promptly prepare
and forward to the Indenture Trustee and upon request, any Securityholder or
Hedge Counterparty, a report (the “Liquidation Report”), in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit D, detailing the Liquidation Proceeds
received from such Loan, the Liquidation Expenses incurred with respect
thereto, and any loss incurred in connection therewith.



     Section 5.04. Fidelity Bond. 



     The Servicer shall at all times maintain with a responsible company, and
at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond (the “Fidelity Bond”) in a
minimum aggregate amount equal to $2,000,000, and a maximum deductible of
$50,000, with coverage on all employees acting in any capacity requiring such
persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Loans or
the Collateral (“Servicer Employees”). The Fidelity Bond shall provide
coverage to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties
and the Securityholders, their respective officers and employees, against
losses resulting from forgery, theft, embezzlement or fraud by such Servicer
Employees. The Fidelity Bond shall not relieve the Servicer from its duties or
indemnity obligations as set forth in this Sale and Servicing Agreement. Upon
the request of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, any Securityholder or
any Hedge Counterparty, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, such Securityholder or such Hedge
Counterparty a certified true copy of such Fidelity Bond.



     Section 5.05. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. 



     (a) The Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that each
Obligor maintains an Insurance Policy with respect to any tangible, personal
property Collateral (other than accounts receivable) in an amount at least
equal to the sum of the Outstanding Loan Balance of the related Eligible Loan
and shall ensure that each such Insurance Policy names the Servicer as loss
payee and as an insured thereunder and all of the Originator’s right, title and
interest therein is fully assigned to the Indenture Trustee. Additionally,
other than with respect to unsecured Loans and Loans in which the sole
collateral is the related Obligor’s accounts receivable, the Servicer will
require that each Obligor maintain property damage liability insurance during
the term of each Loan in amounts and against risks customarily insured against
by the Obligor on property owned by it. If an Obligor fails to maintain
property damage insurance, the Servicer may in its discretion purchase and
maintain such insurance on behalf of, and at the expense of, the Obligor. In
connection with its activities as Servicer, the Servicer agrees to present, on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee, the Securityholders and the Hedge
Counterparties, claims to the insurer under each Insurance Policy and any such
liability policy, and to settle, adjust and compromise such claims, in each
case, consistent with the terms of each Loan. The Servicer’s Insurance
Policies with respect to the Collateral will insure against liability



80









 





for
physical damage relating to such Collateral in accordance with the requirements
of the Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer hereby disclaims any and all
right, title and interest in and to any Insurance Policy and Insurance Proceeds
with respect to any Collateral, including any Insurance Policy with respect to
which it is named as loss payee and as an insured, and agrees that it has no
equitable, beneficial or other interest in the Insurance Polices and Insurance
Proceeds other than being named as loss payee and as an insured. The Servicer
acknowledges
that with respect to the Insurance Policies and Insurance Proceeds thereof
that it is acting solely in the capacity as agent for the Indenture Trustee.




     (b) Notwithstanding Section 5.05(a), in the case of each Material
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall comply with the Credit and Collection Policy
concerning the issuance and maintenance of fire and hazard insurance with
extended coverage customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is
located. If at origination of a Loan, to the best of the Servicer’s knowledge
after reasonable investigation, the related Mortgaged Property is in an area
identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as
having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available)
consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer will require the
related Obligor or other creditors to purchase a flood insurance policy
covering each piece of property that is material with a generally acceptable
insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least
of (i) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property that is material, or
(ii) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Servicer shall also maintain, to the
extent such insurance is available, and required by the Credit and Collection
Policy, on Foreclosed Property constituting real property that is material,
fire and hazard insurance in the amounts described above and liability
insurance.



     (c) Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such Insurance
Policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the
Collateral, or to be released to the Obligor or other creditors in accordance
with Requirements of Law or the governing documents) shall be deposited in the
Principal and Interest Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
7.03(h). It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance need be required by the Servicer of any Obligor or other
creditors or maintained on Foreclosed Property, other than pursuant to such
Requirements of Law and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as
shall require such additional insurance. All policies required hereunder
(unless the Seller is a non–agent co–lender with respect to such Loan) shall be
endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with losses payable to the Servicer or
its Affiliates.



     Section 5.06. Collection of Certain Loan Payments. 



     (a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts, consistent with the Credit
and Collection Policy, to collect all payments required under the terms and
provisions of the Loans. Consistent with the foregoing and the Credit and
Collection Policy, the Servicer may in its discretion waive or permit to be
waived any fee or charge which the Servicer would be entitled to retain
hereunder as servicing compensation and extend the due date for payments due on
a Loan as provided in Section 5.02(e).



     (b) The Servicer agrees not to make, or permit to be made, any change, in
the direction of, or instructions with respect to, any payments to be made by
an Obligor Lock–Box



81









 





Bank from any Obligor Lock–Box or any Obligor Lock–Box
Account in any manner that would diminish, impair, delay or otherwise adversely
effect the timing or receipt of such payments by the Lock–Box Bank without the
prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee and with the consent of the
Majority Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The Servicer further agrees
to provide the Indenture Trustee promptly, but in no case later than one
Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt, any notice it receives that an
Obligor is changing the direction of or
instructions with respect to any payments from any Obligor Lock–Box or any
Obligor Lock–Box Account.




     Section 5.07. Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Loans. 



     The Servicer shall provide to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee,
the FDIC, the OCC, the Federal Reserve, the Office of Thrift Supervision and
the supervisory agents and examiners of the foregoing, access to the
documentation regarding the Loans required by applicable local, state and
federal regulations, such access being afforded without charge but only upon
reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the
Servicer designated by it and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere
with the Servicer’s normal operations or customer or employee relations. The
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee 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
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee may reasonably determine that such
disclosure is consistent with their obligations hereunder.



     Section 5.08. Satisfaction of Mortgages and Collateral and Release of
Loan Files. 



     (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 Principal and Interest Account of the
purchase price of any Loan acquired by the Trust Depositor, the Servicer or
another Person pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document,
the Servicer will immediately notify the Indenture Trustee by a certification
in the form of Exhibit M 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
Principal and Interest 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
Indenture Trustee shall in accordance with Section 2.08(c) release,
within two (2) Business Days (if such request was received by 2:00 p.m. central
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 Principal and Interest Account
or the Note 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 Indenture Trustee shall, upon request of the Servicer and
delivery to the Indenture Trustee of a certification in the form of Exhibit
M attached hereto signed by a Servicing Officer, release the related Loan
File to the Servicer within two (2) Business Days (if such request was received
by



82









 





2:00 p.m. central time), and the Indenture Trustee shall execute such
documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings.
The Servicer shall return the Loan File to the Indenture Trustee when the need
therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Loan has been liquidated
and the Net Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Loan have
been deposited in the Principal and Interest Account and remitted to the
Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Note 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 Collateral either judicially or non–judicially, and the Servicer has
delivered to the Indenture Trustee 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 Indenture Trustee to the Servicer.




     (c) The Indenture 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 foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of Collateral 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
Collateral) 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 Collateral) or otherwise available
at law or in equity. Together with such documents or pleadings, the Servicer
shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer
requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Indenture
Trustee and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are
required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Indenture Trustee
will not invalidate or otherwise adversely affect the Lien of the agreement
securing Collateral, except for the termination of such a Lien upon completion
of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale. The Indenture Trustee shall, upon
receipt of a written request from a Servicing Officer, execute any document
provided to the Indenture 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 or appropriate by any state or other jurisdiction to
discharge the Lien securing Collateral upon the satisfaction thereof and the
Indenture 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 (5) Business Days of the Indenture Trustee’s receipt of such
certificate or documents. Such certificate or documents shall establish to the
Indenture Trustee’s satisfaction 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 Principal and Interest
Account.



     (d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5.08 to the
contrary, in no event may the Servicer possess in excess of fifteen (15) Loan
Files (excluding Loan Files for Loans which have been paid in full or
repurchased) at any given time.



     Section 5.09. Scheduled Payment Advances. 



     For each Due Period, if the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payment
(or portion thereof) that was due and payable pursuant to a Loan in the Loan
Pool during such Due Period was not received prior to the end of such Due
Period or has been received in an Obligor Lock–Box Account but has not yet been
transferred to the Lock–



83









 





Box Account, the Servicer has the right to elect, but
is not obligated, to make a Scheduled Payment Advance in an amount up to the
amount of such delinquent Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) if the
Servicer believes in
good faith that the advance will be reimbursed or subsequently paid by the
related Obligor. The Servicer will deposit any Scheduled Payment Advances into
the Principal and Interest Account on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City
time) on the related Determination Date, in immediately available funds. The
Servicer will be entitled to be reimbursed for Scheduled Payment Advances
pursuant to Section 7.05(a) and Section 7.05(b).




     Section 5.10. Title, Management and Disposition of Foreclosed
Property. 



     (a) In the event that title to Collateral is acquired in foreclosure or by
deed in lieu of foreclosure or by other legal process, the deed or certificate
of sale, or the Repossessed Collateral, shall be taken in the name of the
Issuer for the benefit of the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties.



     (b) The Servicer, subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE 5,
shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each Foreclosed Property or other
Repossessed Collateral for the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties
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 Collateral in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects
and operates other foreclosed or repossessed property for its own account, and
in a similar manner to that of similar property in the same locality as the
Foreclosed Property or other Repossessed Collateral is managed. 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
Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties.



     (c) The Servicer shall cause to be deposited in the Principal and Interest
Account, no later than two (2) Business Days after the receipt thereof, all
revenues received with respect to the conservation and disposition of the
related Foreclosed Property or other Repossessed Collateral net of Servicing
Advances.



     (d) The Servicer shall, subject to Section 5.02(p) and Section
7.03, reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and
unpaid Servicing Fees, and the Servicer shall deposit in the Principal and
Interest Account the net cash proceeds of the sale of any Foreclosed Property
or other Repossessed Collateral to be distributed to the Securityholders and
the Hedge Counterparties in accordance with Section 7.05 hereof.



     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 for each month (or portion thereof), calculated and payable
monthly in arrears on each Remittance Date prior to the termination of the
Issuer (with respect to each Due Period, the “Servicing Fee”) equal to
the sum of the product of: (i) the applicable Servicing Fee Percentage, (ii)
the Outstanding Loan Balance of the Asset Based Revolvers and the Outstanding
Loan Balance of all other Loans, as



84









 





applicable, as of the first day of the
applicable Due Period (or, with respect to the first Due Period, as of the
Closing Date) and (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the
number of days in the applicable Due Period (or, with respect to the first Due
Period, the number of days
from the Closing Date to the end of the first Due Period) and the
denominator of which is 360. The Servicing Fee is payable out of Collections
pursuant to Section 7.05(a) and Section 7.05(b). If the Servicer
is replaced, the Originator shall be responsible for the payment of any fee
payable to a Successor Servicer in excess of the Servicer Fee to the extent
such fee is not paid pursuant to Section 7.05(a) and Section
7.05(b).




     (b) In addition to the Servicing Fee, the Servicer shall be entitled to
retain for itself as additional servicing compensation assumption and other
administrative fees paid or payable in connection with any Loan.



     Section 5.12. Assignment; Resignation. 



     The Servicer shall not assign its rights and duties under this Agreement
(other than in connection with a subservicing arrangement) nor resign from the
obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer except (a) by mutual
consent of the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Majority Noteholders and
the Hedge Counterparties, (b) in connection with a merger, conversion or
consolidation permitted pursuant to Section 5.13 (in which case the
Person resulting from the merger, conversion or consolidation shall be the
successor of the Servicer), (c) in connection with an assignment permitted
pursuant to Section 5.13 (in which case the Assignee shall be the
successor of the Servicer), or (d) upon the Servicer’s determination that its
duties hereunder are no longer permissible under Requirements of Law or
administrative determination and such incapacity cannot be cured by the
Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer
shall be evidenced by a written Opinion of Counsel (who may be counsel for the
Servicer) to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee, which Opinion of
Counsel shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Indenture
Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor has
assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in accordance
with Section 8.03.



     Section 5.13. Merger or Consolidation of Servicer. 



     (a) Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or
any Person resulting from such merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Servicer is a party, or any Person succeeding to substantially all of the
business of the Servicer, and who shall be an established commercial loan
servicing institution that on a consolidated basis has a net worth of at least
$50,000,000, shall be the Successor Servicer hereunder without execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary; provided,
however, no such merger, conversion or consolidation of the Servicer or
transfer of all or substantially all or the Servicer assets or business shall
be permitted hereunder unless the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with
respect thereto.



     (b) Upon the occurrence of a change-in-control (including any merger or
consolidation of the Originator or transfer of substantially all of its assets
and its business), the Servicer shall (i) provide the Trust Depositor, the
Indenture Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties and the Rating Agencies with notice
of such change-in-control within thirty (30) days after



85









 





completion of the same,
and (ii) satisfy the Rating Agency Condition after completion of the same.




     Section 5.14. Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others. 



     The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer
may rely on any document of any kind which it in good faith reasonably believes
to be genuine and to have been adopted or signed by the proper authorities or
persons respecting any matters arising hereunder. Subject to the terms of
Section 12.01 herein, 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.
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



     Section 5.15. The Backup Servicer. 



     (a) The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Depositor hereby
appoint Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to act as Backup Servicer in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties
and responsibilities with respect thereto set forth herein.



     (b) The Backup Servicer shall perform the following duties and
obligations:




     (i) On or before the Closing Date, the Backup Servicer shall accept
from the Servicer delivery of the information required to be set forth in
the Monthly Reports in hard copy and in an agreed upon electronic format.




     (ii) Not later than 12:00 noon New York time four Business Days

subordinate cash flow or real estate) (3) legal name of the related
Obligor, (4) state of Obligor’s primary business, (5) NAICS Code, (6)
type of Loan (i.e., Partially Funded Term Loan, Fully Funded Term Loan,

(i.e., Amortizing Loans, Balloon Loans or Bullet Loans), (9) origination
date, (10) maturity date, (11) benchmark for Loan Rate, (12) margin, (13)

the Loan is syndicated and whether the Issuer holds a majority of the
outstanding indebtedness under such syndicated Loan), (15) the collection
status, (16) the Loan status, and (17) the Outstanding Loan Balance and
(B) the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance. With respect to its duties
pursuant to this Section 5.15(b)(ii), the Backup Servicer shall
have no duty to confirm that the Tape contains the foregoing information.




     (iii) Prior to the Remittance Date, the Backup Servicer shall review
the Monthly Report to ensure that it is complete on its face and that the
following items in such Monthly Report have been accurately calculated,
if applicable, and reported: (A)



86









 






the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance,
(B) the Backup Servicing Fee, (C) the Loans
that are more than one day delinquent in the case of Asset Based
Revolvers and more than 60 days delinquent in the case of all other Loans
(other than Charged–Off Loans), (D) the Charged–Off Loans, and (E) the
Priority of Payments. The Backup Servicer shall notify the Indenture
Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty, the Initial Purchasers and the Servicer
of any discrepancies with the Monthly Report based on such review not
later than the Business Day preceding such Remittance Date.




     (iv) If the Servicer disagrees with the report provided under
paragraph (iii) above by the Backup Servicer or if the Servicer or
any subservicer has not reconciled such discrepancy, the Backup Servicer
agrees to confer with the Servicer to resolve such disagreement on or
prior to the next succeeding Determination Date and shall settle such
discrepancy with the Servicer if possible, and notify the Indenture
Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty, the Initial Purchasers and the Rating
Agencies of the resolution thereof. The Servicer hereby agrees to
cooperate at its own expense with the Backup Servicer in reconciling any
discrepancies herein. If within twenty (20) days after the delivery of
the report provided under paragraph (iii) above by the Backup
Servicer, such discrepancy is not resolved, the Backup Servicer shall
promptly notify the Servicer, Indenture Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty,
the Initial Purchasers and the Rating Agencies of the continued existence
of such discrepancy. Following receipt of such notice by the Indenture
Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty, the Initial Purchasers and the Rating
Agencies, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, each Hedge
Counterparty, the Initial Purchasers, the Backup Servicer and the Rating
Agencies no later than the related Remittance Date a certificate
describing the nature and amount of such discrepancies and the actions
the Servicer proposes to take with respect thereto.



     With respect to the foregoing, the Backup Servicer, in the performance of
its duties and obligations hereunder, is entitled to rely conclusively, and
shall be fully protected in so relying, on the contents of each Tape,
including, but not limited to, the completeness and accuracy thereof, provided
by the Servicer.



     (c) After the termination or resignation by the Servicer in accordance
with this Agreement, all authority, power, rights and responsibilities of the
Servicer, under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Loans or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer or the Backup Servicer,
as applicable in accordance with Section 8.03 and such applicable party
shall be deemed the Successor Servicer, subject to and in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.03, as long as such named Successor Servicer is
not prohibited by any Requirements of Law from fulfilling the same, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel; provided, however, if Wells
Fargo as Backup Servicer becomes the Successor Servicer, it will not make any
Scheduled Payment Advances.



     (d) Any Person (i) into which the Backup Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which
the Backup Servicer shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the
properties and assets of the Backup Servicer substantially as a whole, which
Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to
perform every obligation of the Backup Servicer hereunder, shall be the
successor to the Backup



87









 





Servicer under this Agreement without further act on
the part of any of the parties to this Agreement.




     (e) As compensation for its backup servicing activities hereunder, the
Backup Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Backup Servicing Fee from the
Servicer. The Backup Servicing Fee shall be calculated and payable monthly in
arrears on each Remittance Date. The Backup Servicer’s entitlement to receive
the Backup Servicing Fee (other than due and unpaid Backup Servicer Fees owed
through such date) shall cease on the earliest to occur of: (i) it becoming
the Successor Servicer, (ii) its removal as Backup Servicer, or (iii) the
termination of this Agreement.



     (f) The Backup Servicer may be removed with or without cause by the
Majority Noteholders by notice given in writing to the Backup Servicer. In the
event of any such removal, a replacement Backup Servicer may be appointed by
Majority Noteholders.



     (g) The Backup Servicer undertakes to perform only such duties and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, it being expressly
understood by all parties hereto that there are no implied duties or
obligations of the Backup Servicer hereunder. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Backup Servicer, except as expressly set forth herein,
shall have no obligation to supervise, verify, monitor or administer the
performance of the Servicer. The Backup Servicer may act through its agents,
attorneys and custodians in performing any of its duties and obligations under
this Agreement, it being understood by the parties hereto that the Backup
Servicer will be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of
such agents, attorneys or custodians acting for and on behalf of the Backup
Servicer. Neither the Backup Servicer nor any of its officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be liable, directly or indirectly, for any damages or
expenses arising out of the services performed under this Agreement other than
damages or expenses that result from the negligence or willful misconduct of it
or them or the failure to perform materially in accordance with this Agreement.



     (h) Limitation on Liability. The Backup Servicer shall not be
liable for any obligation of the Servicer contained in this Agreement or for
any errors of the Servicer contained in any Tape, certificate or other data or
document delivered to the Backup Servicer hereunder or on which the Backup
Servicer must rely in order to perform its obligations hereunder, and the
parties hereto each agree to look only to the Servicer to perform such
obligations. The Backup Servicer shall have no responsibility and shall not be
in default hereunder or incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction
or any delay in carrying out any of its respective duties under this Agreement
if such failure or delay results from the Backup Servicer acting in accordance
with information prepared or supplied by a Person other than the Backup
Servicer or the failure of any such other Person to prepare or provide such
information. The Backup Servicer shall have no responsibility, shall not be in
default and shall incur no liability for (i) any act or failure to act of any
third party, including the Servicer (other than any agent, attorney or

under Requirements of Law, (iv) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation

and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which
such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and each
other instrument or agreement necessary or appropriate to the proper
administration of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. In

     The Trust Depositor will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other
Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any Loan

under the Loans in the Loan Pool and its interest in any related Collateral,

in the Loan Pool or its interest in any related Collateral.



89

     Section 6.06. Compliance with Law.

activities, as well as restrictions on its interactions with the Originator or
its Affiliates, relevant to the “bankruptcy remoteness” or “substantive
consolidation” analysis relating to the Trust Depositor) substantially similar
to the terms and conditions applicable to the Trust Depositor under the
Transaction Documents so long as the Securityholders and the Hedge
Counterparties are not materially adversely affected thereby and the Rating
Agency Condition is satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Trust Depositor may assign, transfer, convey or finance
all or any portion of any Class of Notes or Certificates owned by it provided

with respect to the profits, assets or capital of the Trust Depositor or any
Person’s interest therein, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value
any of its members’ interests now or hereafter outstanding, except that, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no Event of

     The Trust Depositor shall:



     (a) Maintain its own deposit account or accounts, separate from those of
any Affiliate, with commercial banking institutions. The funds of the Trust
Depositor will not be diverted to any other Person or for other than authorized
uses of the Trust Depositor.



     (b) Ensure that, to the extent that it shares the same officers or other

fairly among such entities, and each such entity shall bear its fair share of
such costs. To the extent that the Trust Depositor contracts or does business
with vendors or service providers when the goods and services provided are
partially for the benefit of any other Person, the costs incurred in so doing
shall be fairly allocated to or among such entities for whose benefit the goods
and services are provided, and each such entity shall bear its fair share of
such costs. All material transactions between Trust Depositor and any of its
Affiliates shall be only on an arm’s length basis.



     (d) To the extent that the Trust Depositor and any of its members or
Affiliates have offices in the same location, there shall be a fair and
appropriate allocation of overhead costs among them, and each such entity shall
bear its fair share of such expenses.

specified in the “substantive consolidation” opinion of Patton Boggs LLP,
delivered on the Closing Date, upon which the conclusions expressed therein are
based.

     The Trust Depositor shall (a) not move its location outside the State of
Maryland or its jurisdiction of formation outside of the State of Delaware
without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Owner Trustee and the

first priority perfected security interest of the Indenture Trustee in all
Loans.

     The Trust Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the
extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Trust Depositor under
this Agreement.



     Section 6.17. Bankruptcy Limitations. 



     The Trust Depositor shall not, without the affirmative vote of a majority
of the managers of the Trust Depositor (which must include the affirmative vote
of at least two (2) duly appointed Independent managers) (a) dissolve or
liquidate, in whole or in part, or institute proceedings to be adjudicated
bankrupt or insolvent, (b) consent to the institution of bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings against it, (c) file a petition seeking or consent to

bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Trust Depositor so long as it
is Solvent.



     Section 6.18. Limitation on Liability of Trust Depositor and
Others. 



     The Trust Depositor and any director or officer or employee or agent of
the Trust Depositor may rely in good faith on any document of any kind, prima
facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder. The Trust Depositor and any director or officer or employee
or agent of the Trust Depositor shall be reimbursed by the Indenture Trustee
for any liability or expense incurred by reason of the Indenture Trustee’s
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence (except errors in judgment)
in the performance of its duties hereunder, or by reason of the Indenture
Trustee’s material breach of the obligations and duties under this Agreement or
the Transaction Documents. The Trust Depositor shall not be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be
incidental to its obligations under this Agreement, and that in its opinion may
involve it in any expense or liability.



     Section 6.19. Insurance Policies. 



     Upon and after an Event of Default or Servicer Default, at the request of
the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Depositor will cause to be performed any and
all acts reasonably required to be performed to preserve the rights and
remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee in any insurance
policies applicable to the Loans including, without limitation, in each case,
any necessary notifications of insurers, assignments of policies or interests
therein, and establishments of co–insured, joint loss payee and mortgagee

     The Trust Depositor agrees not to make, or permit to be made, any change
in the direction of, or instructions with respect to, any payments to be made
by an Obligor Lock–Box Bank from any Obligor Lock–Box or any Obligor Lock–Box
Account in any manner that would diminish, impair, delay or otherwise adversely
effect the timing or receipt of such payments by the Lock–Box Bank or to change
the name in which an Obligor Lock–Box or Obligor Lock–Box Account is maintained
without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee and with the consent
of the Majority Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The Trust Depositor
further agrees to provide the Indenture Trustee promptly, but in no case later
than one Business Day after the Trust Depositor’s receipt, any notice it
receives that an Obligor is changing the direction of or instructions with
respect to any payments from any Obligor Lock–Box or any Obligor Lock–Box
Account or the name in which any Obligor Lock–Box or Obligor Lock–Box Account
is maintained.



 ARTICLE 7. 




 ESTABLISHMENT OF ACCOUNTS;

DISTRIBUTIONS; RESERVE FUND




     Section 7.01. Note Distribution Account, Reserve Fund and
Lock–Boxes. 



     (a) On or before the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish the Note
Distribution Account and the Reserve Fund with and in the name of the Indenture
Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties.
The Servicer and Indenture Trustee are hereby required to ensure that each of
the Note Distribution Account and Reserve Fund is established and maintained as
an Eligible Deposit Account with a Qualified Institution. If any institution
with which any of the accounts established pursuant to this Section
7.01(a) are established ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Servicer,
or if the Servicer fails to do so, the Indenture Trustee (as the case may be)
shall within ten (10) Business Days establish a replacement account at a
Qualified Institution after notice of such event. In no event shall the
Indenture Trustee be responsible for monitoring whether such Eligible
Institution shall remain a Qualified Institution. Each Qualified Institution
maintaining an Eligible Deposit Account shall agree in writing to comply with
all instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee or, with respect to the
Principal and Interest Account only, the Servicer directing disposition of the
funds in the Eligible Deposit Account without the further consent of the Trust
Depositor.



     (b) If the Servicer so directs (or, if the Servicer does not so direct,
the Trust Depositor has the right to direct), in writing, the Indenture Trustee
shall accept such directions as directions of the Issuer and shall invest the
amounts in the Note Distribution Account and the Reserve Fund in Permitted
Investments of the type specified in such written direction that mature or are
withdrawable not later than the next succeeding Determination Date, except for
investments in Section (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments.
Once such funds are invested, the Indenture Trustee shall not change the
investment of such funds other than in connection with the withdrawal or
liquidation of such investments and the transfer of such funds as provided
herein on or prior to the next succeeding Determination Date. Funds in the
Note Distribution Account and Reserve Fund not so invested must be insured to
the extent and the amount permitted by law by BIF or SAIF of the FDIC. Subject
to the restrictions herein, the Servicer or Indenture Trustee may purchase a
Permitted Investment from itself or an Affiliate with respect to



94









 





investment of funds in the Trust Accounts. Subject to the other
provisions hereof, the Servicer in the case of the Principal and Interest
Account and the Indenture Trustee in the case of all other Trust Accounts shall
have sole control over each such investment and the income thereon, and any
certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment, if any, shall
be delivered directly to the Servicer or its agent or the Indenture Trustee or
its agent, as applicable, together with each document of transfer, if any,
necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Servicer or Indenture
Trustee, as applicable, in a manner which complies with this Section
7.01. All Investment Earnings on investments of funds in the Trust
Accounts shall be deposited in the Interest Collection Account pursuant to
Section 7.01 and distributed on the next Remittance Date pursuant to
Section 7.05. The Trust Depositor and the Issuer agree and acknowledge
that the Servicer and Indenture Trustee are to have “control” (within the
meaning of the UCC) of collateral comprised of “Investment Property” (within
the meaning of the UCC) for all purposes of this Agreement. In the absence of
timely written direction from the Servicer or the Trust Depositor, the
Indenture Trustee shall invest amounts in the Note Distribution Account and
Reserve Fund Account in Permitted Investments of the type specified in
clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments herein.




     (c) The Servicer and the Originator have established, or caused to be
established, and will maintain, or caused to be maintained, various Obligor
Lock–Boxes and Obligor Lock–Box Accounts, for the deposit of the amounts
representing payments sent by Obligors with respect to certain Revolving Loans.
The Servicer and the Originator have established, or caused to be established,
and will maintain, or caused to be maintained, the Lock–Box and the Lock–Box
Account, for the deposit of the amounts representing payments sent by Obligors
and Obligor Lock–Box Banks, as applicable, with respect to Loans pledged to the
Indenture Trustee as well as with respect to loans not pledged to the Indenture
Trustee. The Servicer, as agent for the Issuer, and the Originator will cause
each Obligor Lock–Box Bank to deposit within two (2) Business Days of receipt
all Collections that have been sent to such Obligor Lock–Box Bank into the Lock
Box Account, and within two (2) Business Days of the deposit into the Lock–Box
or the Lock Box Account, the Servicer and the Originator will cause the
Lock–Box Bank to cause the amounts in the Lock Box Account to be deposited into
the Principal and Interest Account.



     Section 7.02. Reserve Fund Deposit. 



     On the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, shall
deposit the Reserve Fund Initial Balance into the Reserve Fund from the net
proceeds of the sale of the Securities.



     Section 7.03. Principal and Interest Account. 



     (a) The Servicer shall cause to be established and maintained one or more
Principal and Interest Accounts (including for each such account two
subaccounts, one designated as the Interest Collection Account and the other
designated as the Principal Collection Account), in one or more Eligible
Deposit Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, which may be
interest–bearing or such accounts may be trust accounts wherein the moneys
therein are invested in Permitted Investments, titled “CapitalSource Finance
LLC, as Servicer, in trust for the Hedge Counterparties and the registered
holders of CapitalSource Commercial Loan Trust Notes, Series 2004-2 Class A-1,
Class A-2, Class A-3, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E



95









 





Notes.” All funds in such Principal and Interest Accounts not so invested
shall be insured to the extent and the amount permitted by the BIF or SAIF of
the FDIC to the maximum extent provided by law. The creation of any Principal
and Interest Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form of
Exhibit E hereto. A copy of such letter agreement shall be furnished to
the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and, upon request, any Securityholder
or Hedge Counterparty. The Servicer may, upon written notice to the Indenture
Trustee, transfer any Principal and Interest Account to a different Eligible
Deposit Account.




     (b) The Servicer and each Subservicer shall deposit without duplication
(within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof) in the applicable Principal
and Interest Account and retain therein the following amounts received by the
Servicer (and shall segregate and deposit Interest Collections into the
Interest Collections Account and Principal Collections into the Principal
Collection Account):




     (i) all Principal Collections accruing and received on or after the
applicable Cut–Off Date;




     (ii) all Interest Collections accruing and received on or after the
tenth day of the month of the Closing Date (net of the Servicing Fee with
respect to each Loan and other servicing compensation payable to the
Servicer as permitted herein) and all origination and commitment fees;




     (iii) all Net Liquidation Proceeds (other than Insurance Proceeds
covered under clause (iv) below);




     (iv) all Insurance Proceeds (other than amounts to be applied to
restoration or repair of any related Collateral or amounts in excess of
the Outstanding Loan Balance of the related Loan to be released to the
Obligor in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy);




     (v) all Released Mortgaged Property Proceeds and any other proceeds
from any other Collateral securing the Loans (other than amounts released
to the Obligor in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy);




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




     (vii) any amount required to be deposited in the Principal and
Interest Account pursuant to Section 5.10 or Section 7.03;
and




     (viii) the amount of any gains and interest incurred in connection
with investments in Permitted Investments.



     (c) The Servicer shall have no obligation to deposit into the Principal
and Interest Account any Retained Interest or Released Amounts.



96









 





     (d) Not later than the close of business on each Determination Date
immediately preceding a Remittance Date, the Servicer will remit to the
Principal and Interest Account any Scheduled Payment Advance that the Servicer
determines to make.



     (e) Notwithstanding Section 7.03(b), if (i) the Servicer makes a
deposit into the Principal and Interest Account in respect of a Collection of a
Loan in the Loan Pool 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
Principal and Interest 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 Principal and Interest
Accounts shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments with respect to the
Servicing Fee, together with the Liquidation Expenses, may not be deposited by
the Servicer in the Principal and Interest Account.



     (g) So long as no Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
and consistent with any requirements of the Code, the Principal and Interest
Accounts shall either be maintained with an Eligible Deposit Account as an
interest–bearing account meeting the requirements set forth in Section
7.03(a), or the funds held therein may be invested by the Servicer (to the
extent practicable) in Permitted Investments, as directed in writing by the
Servicer, and, in each case, with a stated maturity (giving effect to any
applicable grace period) no later than the fourth Business Day immediately
preceding the Remittance Date next following the Due Period in which the date
of investment occurs; provided, however, that Permitted
Investments shall not include any interest-only security, any security
purchased at a price in excess of 100% of par or any security whose repayment
is subject to substantial non-credit related risk as determined by the
Servicer. All Permitted Investments must be held by or registered in the name
of “CapitalSource, as Servicer, in trust for the Hedge Counterparties and the
registered holders of CapitalSource Commercial Loan Trust Notes, Series
2004-2.” Any Investment Interest Earnings on funds held in the Principal and
Interest Account shall be deemed part of the Interest Collection Account and
shall be deposited therein pursuant to Section 7.03 and distributed on
the next Remittance Date pursuant to Section 7.05. The amount of any
losses incurred in connection with the investment of funds in the Principal and
Interest Account in Permitted Investments shall be deposited in the Principal
and Interest Account by the Servicer from its own funds immediately as realized
without reimbursement therefor.



     (h) The Servicer may (and, for the purposes of clause (ii) below,
shall), at any time upon one Business Day’s notice to the Indenture Trustee,
make withdrawals from the Principal and Interest Account for the following
purposes:




     (i) to remit to the Trust Depositor, in connection with the transfer
of a Substitute Loan to the Issuer in place of a Prepaid Loan, an amount
equal to the Prepaid Loan Amount;



97









 






     (ii) to remit to the Indenture Trustee on each Determination Date
immediately preceding a Remittance Date, for deposit in the Note
Distribution Account, the Interest Collections and Principal Collections
received during the immediately preceding Due Period less any amounts
remitted to the Trust Depositor pursuant to clause (i) above prior
to such Determination Date;




     (iii) prior to a Servicer Default, and subject to Section
5.02(p), to reimburse itself for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances
to the extent deposited in the Principal and Interest Account (and not
netted from Scheduled Payments received from the related Loans);




     (iv) 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 United States Bankruptcy Code in
accordance with a final, nonappealable order of a court having competent
jurisdiction;




     (v) to make investments in Permitted Investments;




     (vi) to withdraw any funds deposited in the Principal and Interest
Account that were not required or permitted to be deposited therein or
were deposited therein in error;




     (vii) prior to a Servicer Default, to pay itself certain additional
servicing compensation as permitted under Section 5.11(b) of the
Agreement;




     (viii) prior to (A) a payment default on the related Loan (and in
the case of Asset Based Revolvers, a payment default shall mean any
failure to make a payment on the date such payment is due and such
failure continues for more than one calendar day), (B) a Servicer
Default, (C) an Event of Default, or (D) an Accelerated Amortization
Event, with respect to Revolving Loans secured by Collateral only, to
advance to an Obligor in a given Due Period prior to the Monthly
Reconciliation Date an amount not to exceed the Principal Collections
received from such Obligor during that Due Period;




     (ix) to purchase substitute Loans as contemplated by Section
2.04(a) to the extent funds have been deposited by the Originator for
such purpose pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(i)(B); and




     (x) to clear and terminate the Principal and Interest Account upon
the termination of the Agreement



     Section 7.04. Securityholder Distributions. 



     (a) Each Securityholder as of the related Record Date shall be paid on the
next succeeding Remittance Date by check mailed to such Securityholder at the
address for such Securityholder appearing on the Note Register or Certificate
Register or by wire transfer if such Securityholder provides written
instructions to the Indenture Trustee, or Owner Trustee, respectively, at least
(10) ten days prior to such Remittance Date, which instructions may be in the
form of a standing order.



98









 





     (b) The Indenture Trustee shall serve as the Paying Agent hereunder and
shall make the payments to the Securityholder required hereunder. The
Indenture Trustee hereby agrees that all amounts held by it for payment
hereunder will be held in trust for the benefit of the Securityholder.



     Section 7.05. Priority of Payments; Allocations and Distributions. 



     (a) On each Determination Date prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default, a Servicer Default or an Accelerated Amortization Event, (i) the
Indenture Trustee shall deposit into the Note Distribution Account all funds on

Trustee in writing to withdraw, and on the related Remittance Date the
Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the Note Distribution Account (A) the
Collections and (B) all amounts deposited therein from the Reserve Fund to make
the following payments. The payments listed below will be made only to the
extent there are sufficient amounts available on the Remittance Date. Payments
will be made in the order of priority listed below. With respect to pro rata
payments of principal as described herein, payments shall be made pro rata
based on the respective original principal amounts of the class of Notes with
respect to which such payments are made. If on any Remittance Date the
Outstanding Principal Balance of any class of Notes has been reduced to zero,
any pro rata payments of principal on such date shall be distributed pro rata
to the classes of Notes which then remain outstanding based on the respective
original principal amounts of such classes of Notes.



     First, pro rata, based on the amounts owed to such Persons under
this clause First, to the Hedge Counterparties, any Net Trust Hedge

Trust Depositor or Servicer to remit any amounts available for payment on the

     Section 7.06. Determination of LIBOR. 



     (a) The Indenture Trustee will determine the interest rate for each
Interest Accrual Period by determining the London interbank offered rate
(“LIBOR”) for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a period of 1-month (the
“One–Month Index Maturity”) which appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of
11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is two (2) London Banking Days
preceding that Interest Accrual Period (“LIBOR Determination Date”). If
such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750 on the related LIBOR
Determination Date, the rate for that Interest Accrual Period will be
determined as if the parties had specified “USD–LIBOR–Reference Banks” as the
applicable rate. “USD–LIBOR–Reference Banks” means that the interest rate for
an Interest Accrual Period will be determined on the basis of the rates at
which deposits in U.S. Dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the related LIBOR Determination Date
to prime banks in the London interbank market for the 1–Month Index Maturity
commencing on the beginning of that Interest Accrual Period and in a
Representative Amount. The Indenture Trustee will request the principal London
office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If
at least two (2) such quotations are provided, the rate for that Interest
Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than
two (2) quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that Interest
Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks
in New York City, selected by the Indenture Trustee, at 11:00 a.m. New York
City time, on the beginning of that Interest Accrual Period for loans in U.S.
Dollars to leading European banks for the 1–Month Index Maturity commencing at
the beginning of that Interest Accrual Period and in a Representative Amount.



     (b) The establishment of LIBOR on the applicable London Banking Day by the
Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee’s subsequent calculation of the
rates of interest applicable to the Notes for the related Remittance Date
shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding. Each such rate
of interest may be obtained by telephoning the Indenture Trustee at (612)
667–8058.



     Section 7.07. Monthly Reconciliation. 



     (a) Except as set forth in Section 7.07(b), on each Business Day
during each Due Period that Principal Collections are received in the Principal
Collection Account with respect to any Loan in the Loan Pool, the Servicer will
determine the Outstanding Loan Balance and the principal amount of the portion
of such Loan not owned by the Issuer (if any) with respect to such Loan.



105









 





     (b) Prior to (i) a payment default on the related Loan (and in the case of
Asset Based Revolvers, a payment default shall mean any failure to make a
payment on the date such payment is due and such failure continues for more
than one calendar day), (ii) a Servicer Default, (iii) an Event of Default or
(iv) an Accelerated Amortization Event, on each Monthly Reconciliation Date,
the Servicer will determine the Outstanding Loan Balance and principal amount
of the portion of such Loan owned by the Originator, its Affiliate special
purpose entities under the Warehouse Facilities and any co-lenders under the
related facility (if any) with respect to each Revolving Loan secured by
Collateral (but specifically excluding any Revolving Loan that is not secured
by any Collateral) in the Loan Pool, and on and as of such date will determine
the net effect of the Principal Collections received from, and payments from
the Principal Collection Account representing new advances made to, the related
Obligor during such Due Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer
will maintain the underlying data of all Principal Collections received and
payments or advances made with respect to any Revolving Loan secured by
Collateral from the Principal Collection Account on each day during each Due
Period, and shall make such underlying data available pursuant to and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9.03.



 ARTICLE 8. 




SERVICER DEFAULT; SERVICER TRANSFER




     Section 8.01. Servicer Default. 



“Servicer Default” means the occurrence of any of the following:




     (a) any failure by the Servicer to remit when due any payment required to
be made under the terms of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents,
it being understood that the Servicer shall not be responsible for the failure
of either the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee to remit funds that were
received by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee from the Servicer in
accordance with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; or



     (b) failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform, in any material
respect, any other covenants, obligations or agreements of the Servicer set
forth in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or any
representation or warranty of the Servicer made in this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or in any certificate or
other writing delivered thereto or in connection therewith proves to have been
incorrect when made, which failure or breach has a material adverse effect on
the rights of the Noteholders or the Hedge Counterparties and continues
unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days (if such failure or breach can be
cured) after the first to occur of (i) the date on which written notice of such
failure requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to a
Responsible Officer of the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee, or a Responsible
Officer of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee by any Securityholder or
Hedge Counterparty, and (ii) the date on which a Responsible Officer of the
Servicer receives actual knowledge of such failure or breach; or



     (c) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having
jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in
any Insolvency Proceedings, or for the winding–up or liquidation of its
affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and



106









 





such decree or order
shall have remained in force, undischarged or unstayed for a period of thirty
(30) days; or




     (d) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any Insolvency Proceedings of or relating to the
Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of the Servicer’s
property; or



     (e) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as
they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable Insolvency
Laws, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily
suspend payment of its obligations; or



     (f) without the consent of the Majority Noteholders or the Hedge
Counterparties, the Servicer agrees or consents to, or otherwise permits to
occur, any amendment, modification, change, supplement or rescission of or to
the Servicer or the Credit and Collection Policy, in whole or in part, in any
manner that would have a material adverse effect on the Loans; or



     (g) failure by the Servicer to observe or perform the Credit and
Collection Policy regarding the servicing of the Loans in any manner that would
have a material adverse effect on the Loans.



     Section 8.02. Servicer Transfer. 



     (a) If a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Majority
Noteholders may, by written notice (a “Termination Notice”) delivered to
the parties hereto and each of the Hedge Counterparties, terminate all (but not
less than all) of the Servicer’s management, administrative, servicing,
custodial and collection functions; provided, however, no
Termination Notice shall be required with respect to any Servicer Default
described under Section 8.01(c), Section 8.01(d) and Section
8.01(e).



     (b) Upon delivery of the notice required by Section 8.02(a) (or, if
later, on a date designated therein), and on the date that a Successor Servicer
shall have been appointed 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 (the “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 the Principal and Interest Account, or for its own account
in connection with its services hereafter or thereafter received with respect
to the Loans. The Servicer shall transfer to the Successor Servicer (i) all
records held by the Servicer relating to the Loans 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



107









 





records and programs) to the Successor
Servicer or its designee, and shall pay the reasonable transition expenses of
the Successor Servicer. Upon a Servicer Transfer, the Successor Servicer shall
also be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee for performing the obligations of
the Servicer. Any indemnities provided in this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents in favor of the Servicer and any fees, costs, expenses,
Servicing Advances or Scheduled Payment Advances which have accrued and/or are
unpaid to the Servicer shall survive the resignation or termination of the
Servicer.




     Section 8.03. Appointment of Successor Servicer; Reconveyance;
Successor Servicer to Act. 



     (a) Upon delivery of the notice required by Section 8.02(a) (or, if
later, on a date designated therein), the Servicer shall continue to perform
all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the
Termination Notice or, if no such date is specified, until a date mutually
agreed by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall
as promptly as possible after the giving of or receipt of a Termination Notice,
appoint a Successor Servicer, which shall be the Backup Servicer, in accordance
with Section 5.15(c), and named Successor Servicer shall accept its
appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture
Trustee and Owner Trustee; provided, that, no appointment of a
Successor Servicer or acceptance and assumption by a proposed Successor
Servicer shall be effective without the prior satisfaction of the Rating Agency
Condition. If within 60 days of delivery of a Termination Notice a Successor
Servicer is not appointed and the Servicer shall have yet to cure the Servicer
Default, then the Indenture Trustee shall offer the Trust Depositor, and the
Trust Depositor shall offer the Originator, the right to accept retransfer of
all the Loan Assets, and such parties may accept retransfer of such Loan Assets
in consideration of the Trust Depositor’s delivery to the Principal and
Interest Account on or prior to the next upcoming Remittance Date of a sum
equal to the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Securities (other
than the Certificates) then outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid
interest thereon through such date of deposit and all other amounts due and
owing to any Person under the Transaction Documents, including amounts owing to
each Hedge Counterparty, including Hedge Breakage Costs, it being a condition
precedent to such retransfer that all Hedge Transactions then outstanding under
any Hedge Agreements then in effect shall be terminated and all amounts payable
to the Hedge Counterparties, including Hedge Breakage Costs, upon such
termination shall be paid in full; provided, that, the Indenture
Trustee, if so directed by the Majority Noteholders in writing, need not accept
and effect such reconveyance
in the absence of evidence (which may include valuations of an investment
bank or similar entity) reasonably acceptable to such Indenture Trustee or
Majority Noteholders that such retransfer would not constitute a fraudulent
conveyance of the Trust Depositor or the Originator.



     (b) The Backup Servicer may, in its discretion, or shall, if it is unable
to so act or if the Majority Noteholders request in writing to the Backup
Servicer, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint,
any established servicing institution having a net worth of not less than
$50,000,000 as the Successor Servicer in the assumption of all or any part of
the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer.



     (c) As compensation, any Successor Servicer (including, without
limitation, the Backup Servicer) so appointed shall be entitled to receive the
Servicing Fee, together with any



108









 





other servicing compensation in the form of
assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise as provided herein that
accrued prior thereto; including, without limitation, all reasonable costs
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring
the servicing obligations under the Agreement and amending the Agreement to
reflect such transfer.




     (d) In the event the Backup Servicer is required to solicit bids, the
Backup Servicer shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from banks and
mortgage servicing institutions meeting the qualifications set forth above.
Such public announcement shall specify that the Successor Servicer shall be
entitled to the full amount of the Servicing Fee as servicing compensation,
together with the other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees,
late payment charges or otherwise that accrued prior thereto. Within thirty
(30) days after any such public announcement, the Backup Servicer shall
negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights
and responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest
qualifying bid. The Backup Servicer shall deduct from any sum received by the
Backup Servicer from the successor to the Servicer in respect of such sale,
transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any public announcement and
of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and
responsibilities hereunder and the amount of any unreimbursed Servicing
Advances. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by
the Backup Servicer to the Servicer at the time of such sale, transfer and
assignment to the Servicer’s successor. The Backup Servicer and such successor
shall take such action, consistent with the Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. Neither the Backup Servicer nor any other
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 hereunder. No
appointment of a successor to the Servicer shall be effective until written
notice of such proposed appointment shall have been provided by the Indenture
Trustee to each Securityholder and each Hedge Counterparty and the Backup
Servicer shall have consented thereto. The Backup Servicer shall not resign as
Servicer until a Successor Servicer has been appointed and accepted such
appointment.



     (e) 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 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,
however, that (i) the Successor Servicer will not assume any obligations
of the Servicer described in Section 8.02 and (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 related
document or agreement. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary,
in no event shall the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer 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 Additional Servicing Fee. The Owner
Trustee, Securityholders and the Indenture Trustee and such successor shall
take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. To the



109









 





extent the terminated Servicer has made
Servicing Advances, it shall be entitled to reimbursement of the same
notwithstanding its termination hereunder, to the same extent as if it had
continued to service the Loans hereunder.




     Section 8.04. Notification to Securityholders and Hedge
Counterparties. 



     (a) Promptly following the occurrence of any Servicer Default, the
Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the Trustees, the Trust Depositor
and each Rating Agency at the addresses described in Section 13.04
hereof, to the Noteholders and Certificateholder at their respective addresses
appearing on the Note Register and the Certificate Register, respectively, and
to each Hedge Counterparty at the address set forth in the register kept by the
Issuer, as provided under the Indenture.



     (b) Within 10 days following any termination of the Servicer or
appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant to this ARTICLE 8, the
Indenture Trustee shall give written notice thereof to each Rating Agency and
the Trust Depositor at the addresses described in Section 13.04 hereof,
to the Noteholders and Certificateholder at their respective addresses
appearing on the Note Register and the Certificate Register, respectively, and
to each Hedge Counterparty at the address set forth for such party in the
register kept by the Issuer, as provided under the Indenture.



     Section 8.05. Effect of Transfer. 



     (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 and 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 for its own account, 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 payments upon or otherwise in
connection with the Loans.



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



     Section 8.06. Database File. 



     Upon reasonable request by the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer,
the Servicer will provide the Successor Servicer with a magnetic tape or
Microsoft Excel or similar spreadsheet file containing the database file for
each Loan (a) as of the Cut–Off Date, (b) the Subsequent Cut–Off Dates, (c)
thereafter, as of the last day of the preceding Due Period on the Determination
Date prior to a Servicer Default and (d) on and as of the Business Day before
the actual commencement of servicing functions by the Successor Servicer
following the occurrence of a Servicer Default.



     Section 8.07. Waiver of Defaults. 



110









 





     The Majority Noteholders may, on behalf of all the Securityholders, and
subject to satisfying the Rating Agency Condition, waive any events permitting
removal of the Servicer pursuant to this ARTICLE 8; provided,
however, that the Majority Noteholders may not waive a default in making
a required distribution to the Hedge Counterparties without the consent of the
Hedge Counterparties or on a Note without the consent of each holder of such
Note. Upon any waiver or cure of a past default, such default shall cease to
exist, and any Servicer Default or Event of Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. 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. No such
waivers shall affect any Hedge Transaction that has been terminated in
accordance with its terms.



     Section 8.08. Responsibilities of the Successor Servicer. 



     (a) The Successor Servicer will not be responsible for delays attributable
to the Servicer’s failure to deliver information, defects in the information
supplied by the Servicer or other circumstances beyond the control of the
Successor Servicer.



     (b) The Successor Servicer will make arrangements with the Servicer for
the prompt and safe transfer of, and the Servicer shall provide to the
Successor Servicer, all necessary servicing files and records, including (as
deemed necessary by the Successor Servicer at such time): (i) microfiche loan
documentation, (ii) servicing system tapes, (iii) Loan payment history, (iv)
collections history and (v) the trial balances, as of the close of business on
the day immediately preceding conversion to the Successor Servicer, reflecting
all applicable Loan information. The current Servicer shall be obligated to
pay the costs associated with the transfer of the servicing files and records
to the Successor Servicer.



     (c) The Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility and shall not be
in default hereunder nor incur any liability for any failure, error,
malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of its duties under this Agreement
if any such failure or delay results from the Successor Servicer acting in
accordance with information prepared or supplied by a Person other than the
Successor Servicer or the failure of any such Person to prepare or provide such
information. The Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility, shall not be
in default and shall incur no liability (i) for any act or failure to act by
any third party, including the Servicer, the Trust Depositor or the Trustees or
for any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication received by the
Successor Servicer from any third party or (ii) which is due to or results
from the invalidity, unenforceability of any Loan with applicable law or the
breach or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made with respect to
any Loan.



     (d) If the Indenture Trustee or any other Successor Servicer assumes the
role of Successor Servicer hereunder, such Successor Servicer shall be entitled
to the benefits of (and subject to the provisions of) Section 5.02
concerning delegation of duties to subservicers.



     Section 8.09. Rating Agency Condition for Servicer Transfer. 



     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions relating to a Servicer Transfer,
no Servicer Transfer shall be effective hereunder unless prior written notice
thereof shall have been given to



111









 





the Rating Agencies, and the Rating Agency
Condition shall have been satisfied with respect thereto.




     Section 8.10. Appointment of Successor Backup Servicer; Successor
Backup Servicer to Act. 



     (a) The Backup Servicer may be removed, with or without cause, by the
Majority Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee, by notice given in writing to
the Backup Servicer (the “Backup Servicer Termination Notice”), a copy
of which shall be provided to S&P promptly after it is delivered to the Backup
Servicer. The Backup Servicer shall continue to perform all backup servicing
functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Backup Servicer
Termination Notice or, if no such date is specified, until a date mutually
agreed by the Backup Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee
shall as promptly as possible after the giving of a Backup Servicer Termination
Notice, to appoint a Successor Backup Servicer (the “Successor Backup
Servicer”) and such Successor Backup Servicer shall accept its appointment
by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and Owner
Trustee.



     (b) In the event that a Successor Backup Servicer has not been appointed
and has not accepted its appointment at the time when the then Backup Servicer
has ceased to act as Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial
institution having a net worth of at least $50,000,000 and whose regular
business includes the backup servicing of loans similar to the Loans as the
Successor Backup Servicer hereunder and the Successor Backup Servicer shall be
the successor in all respects to the Backup Servicer in its capacity as Backup
Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
relating thereto placed on the Backup Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof, and the terminated Backup Servicer shall be relieved of such
responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising after such backup servicer
transfer (the “Backup Servicer Transfer”); provided,
however, that the Successor Backup Servicer shall not be liable for any
acts or omissions of the Backup Servicer occurring prior to such Backup
Servicer Transfer or for any breach by the Backup Servicer of any of its
representations and warranties contained herein or in any related document or
agreement. As compensation therefor, the Successor Backup Servicer shall be
entitled to receive reasonable compensation equal to the monthly
Backup Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the
contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer be liable for
any Backup Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the backup
servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any Successor
Backup Servicer to act as Backup Servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein. The Owner Trustee,
Securityholders and the Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such succession.

Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the
Indenture Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance
upon the direction of the Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee will not make any

Class and (iii) (A) the consent of each Hedge Counterparty shall be required

	 	(x)	 	if to the Hedge Counterparties:





     At the address set forth for such party in the applicable Hedge Agreement.



     Each party hereto may, by notice given in accordance herewith to each of
the other parties hereto, designate any further or different address to which
subsequent notices shall be sent.



     Section 13.05. Severability of Provisions. 



     If one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this
Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants,
agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no
way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this
Agreement, the Notes or Certificates or the rights of the Securityholders or
the Hedge Counterparties, and any such prohibition, invalidity or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms in any other
jurisdiction.



     Section 13.06. Third Party Beneficiaries. 



     Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the parties hereto
hereby manifest their intent that no third party (other than the Owner Trustee
and the Hedge Counterparties) shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of this
Agreement, and specifically that the Obligors are not third party beneficiaries
of this Agreement.



     Section 13.07. Counterparts. 



     This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature and in several
counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall
together constitute but one and the same instrument.



     Section 13.08. Headings. 



     The headings of the various Articles and Sections herein are for
convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or
provisions hereof.



     Section 13.09. No Bankruptcy Petition; Disclaimer. 



     (a) Each of the Originator, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the
Issuer acting through the Owner Trustee and each Holder (by acceptance of the
applicable Securities) covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one
year and one day (or, if longer, the then applicable preference period and one
day) after the payment in full of all amounts owing in respect of all
outstanding Classes of Notes rated by any Rating Agency, it will not institute
against the Trust Depositor or the Issuer, or join any other Person in
instituting against the Trust Depositor or the Issuer, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other
similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state of the
United States; provided, however, that nothing herein shall
prohibit the Indenture Trustee from



123









 





filing proofs of claim or otherwise
participating in any such proceedings instituted by any other Person. This
Section 13.09 will survive the termination of this Agreement.




     (b) The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the Certificates represent a
beneficial interest in the Issuer and Loan Assets only and the Securities do
not represent an interest in any assets (other than the Loan Assets) of the
Trust Depositor (including by virtue of any deficiency claim in respect of
obligations not paid or otherwise satisfied from the Loan Assets and proceeds
thereof). In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, to the
extent that the Trust Depositor enters into other transactions as contemplated
in Section 6.07, the Issuer acknowledges and agrees that it shall have
no right, title or interest in or to any assets (or interests therein), other
than the Loan Assets, conveyed or purported to be conveyed (whether by way of a
sale, capital contribution or by the granting of a Lien) by the Trust Depositor
to any Person other than the Issuer (the “Other Assets”).



     (c) To the extent that notwithstanding the agreements contained in this
Section 13.09, the Issuer, any Securityholder or any Hedge Counterparty,
either (i) asserts an interest in or claim to, or benefit from any Other
Assets, whether asserted against or through the Trust Depositor or any other
Person owned by the Trust Depositor, or (ii) is deemed to have any interest,
claim or benefit in or from any Other Assets, whether by operation of law,
legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of Insolvency Laws or
otherwise (including without limitation pursuant to Section 1111(b) of the
federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended) and whether deemed asserted against or
through the Trust Depositor or any other Person owned by the Trust Depositor,
then the Issuer, each Securityholder by accepting a Note or Certificate and
each Hedge Counterparty further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest,
claim or benefit in or from the Other Assets is and shall be expressly
subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and
liabilities of the Trust Depositor that, under the terms of the documents
relating to the securitization of the Other Assets, are entitled to be paid
from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets
(whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected
or otherwise entitled to a priority of distribution under applicable law,
including Insolvency Laws, and whether asserted against the Trust Depositor or
any other Person owned by the Trust Depositor) including, without limitation,
the payment of post–petition interest on such other obligations and
liabilities. This subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination
agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each of
the Issuer, the Hedge Counterparties and the Securityholders is deemed to have
acknowledged and agreed that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of
this Section 13.09 and that the terms and provisions of this
Section 13.09 may be enforced by an action for specific performance.



     (d) The provisions of this Section 13.09 shall be for the third
party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon, including the Securityholders
and the Hedge Counterparties, and shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.



     Section 13.10.
Jurisdiction.




     Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be
brought in the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New
York, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto
consents, for itself and in respect of its property, to the non–



124









 





exclusive
jurisdiction of those courts. Each such party irrevocably waives any
objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the
grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the
bringing of any action or proceeding in such jurisdiction in respect of this
Agreement or any document related hereto.




     Section 13.11. Tax Characterization. 



     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01 and Section
2.04 hereof, the Trust Depositor and Owner Trustee agree that, pursuant to
Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701–3(b)(1) and for federal income tax
purposes, in the event that the Certificates and the Class E Notes are owned by
more than one Holder, the Issuer will be treated as a partnership the partners
of which are the Certificateholders and the Holders of the Class E Notes, and
in the event that the Certificates the Class E Notes are owned by a single
Holder, the Issuer will be treated as a division of such Holder.



     Section 13.12. Prohibited Transactions with Respect to the Issuer. 



     The Originator shall not:



     (a) Provide credit to any Noteholder or Certificateholder for the purpose
of enabling such Noteholder or Certificateholder to purchase Notes or
Certificates, respectively;



     (b) Purchase any Notes or Certificates in an agency or trustee capacity;
or



     (c) Except in its capacity as Servicer as provided in this Agreement, lend
any money to the Issuer.



     Section 13.13. Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee. 



     Wilmington Trust Company acts on behalf of the Issuer solely as Owner
Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity, and all Persons having
any claim against the Issuer by reason of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall look only to the Trust Estate
under the Trust Agreement for payment or satisfaction thereof. The Owner
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Agreement, any other Transaction Document or the Notes, or of any Loan or
related documents. The Owner Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility
or liability for or
with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Loan, or
the perfection and priority of any security interest created by any Loan in any
Collateral or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or
with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate under the Trust Agreement
or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to the
Certificateholder under the Trust Agreement or the Noteholders under the
Indenture, including, without limitation, the existence, condition and
ownership of any Collateral; the existence and enforceability of any insurance
thereon; the existence and contents of any Loan on any computer or other record
thereof; the validity of the assignment of any Loan to the Issuer or of any
intervening assignment; the completeness of any Loan; the performance or
enforcement of any Loan; the compliance by the Issuer, the Trust Depositor or
the Servicer with any covenant, agreement or other obligation or any warranty
or representation made under any Transaction Document or in any related
document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation; or any action
of the



125









 





Indenture Trustee or the Servicer or any subservicer taken in the name
of the Owner Trustee or the Issuer.




     Section 13.14. Allocation of Payments with Respect to Loans. 



     (a) With respect to any Partially Funded Term Loans and any Revolving
Loans, the Issuer will own only the principal portion of such Loans outstanding
as of the applicable Cut–Off Date. Principal Collections received by the
Servicer on any Revolving Loans (other than Loans to SPE Obligors) will be
allocated first to the portion of such Loan owned by the Originator, its
Affiliate special purpose entities under the Warehouse Facilities and any
co-lenders under the facility, until the principal amount of such portion is
reduced to zero, and then to the portion owned by the Issuer; provided,
however, if (i) a payment default occurs with respect to any of the
related Loans (and in the case of Asset Based Revolvers, a payment default
shall mean any failure to make a payment on the date such payment is due and
such failure continues for more than one calendar day), (ii) the Originator has
determined in its sole discretion that an Obligor’s credit has deteriorated or
the Originator has determined in its sole discretion to reduce its commitment
to an Obligor, (iii) an Event of Default occurs, (iv) a Servicer Default
occurs, or (v) an Accelerated Amortization Event occurs, then Principal
Collections received on (A) the applicable Loan (in the case of clause
(i) or (ii) above) or (B) all the Revolving Loans (in the case of
clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) above) will be allocated between the
portion owned by the Originator, its Affiliate special purpose entities under
the Warehouse Facilities and any co-lenders under the facility, portions owned
by the Issuer in a Prior Term Transaction and the portion owned by the Issuer
pro rata based upon the outstanding principal amount of each such portion. So
long as there is no (1) payment default on the related Loans (and in the case
of Asset Based Revolvers, a payment default shall mean any failure to make a
payment on the date such payment is due and such failure continues for more
than one calendar day), (2) Servicer Default, (3) Event of Default, or (4)
Accelerated Amortization Event, the Servicer will determine the Outstanding
Loan Balance, the Retained Interest (if any) and the Principal Collections
received with respect to any Revolving Loan secured by Collateral on each
Monthly Reconciliation Date, and all other Loans (including Revolving Loans not
secured by any Collateral) and in all other cases on each Business Day,
pursuant to Section 7.07.



     (b) With respect to any Revolving Loan (other than Loans to SPE Obligors),
Interest Collections received by the Servicer on those Loans will be allocated
between the portion not
owned by the Issuer and the portion owned by the Issuer on a pro rata
basis according to the outstanding principal amount of each such portion.



     (c) With respect to any Fully Funded Term Loans, Partially Funded Term
Loans and Loans to SPE Obligors, Collections received by the Servicer will be
allocated between the portion not owned by the Issuer (if any) and the portion
owned by the Issuer on a pro rata basis according to the outstanding principal
amount of such portion.



     Section 13.15. No Partnership. 



     Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to create a
co–partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto, and the services of
the Servicer shall be rendered as an independent contractor and not as agent
for the Securityholders or the Hedge Counterparties.



126









 





     Section 13.16. Successors and Assigns. 



     This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.



     Section 13.17. Acts of Holders. 



     Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, whenever Holder action,
consent or approval is required under this Agreement, such action, consent or
approval shall be deemed to have been taken or given on behalf of, and shall be
binding upon, all Holders if the Majority Noteholders agree to take such action
or give such consent or approval.



     Section 13.18. Duration of Agreement. 



     This Agreement shall continue in existence and effect until terminated as
herein provided.



     Section 13.19. Limited Recourse. 



     The obligations of the Trust Depositor, the Originator, the Issuer and the
Servicer under this Agreement are solely the obligations of the Trust
Depositor, the Originator, the Issuer and the Servicer. No recourse shall be
had for the payment of any amount owing by the Trust Depositor, the Originator,
the Issuer or the Servicer under this Agreement or for the payment by the Trust
Depositor, the Originator, the Issuer or the Servicer of any fee in respect
hereof or any other obligation or claim of or against the Trust Depositor, the
Originator, the Issuer or the Servicer arising out of or based upon this
Agreement, against any employee, officer, director, Affiliate, shareholder,
partner or member of the Trust Depositor, the Originator, the Issuer or the
Servicer or against the employee, officer, director, shareholder, partner or
member or any Affiliate of such Person. The provisions of this Section
13.19 shall survive termination of this Agreement.



     Section 13.20. Confidentiality. 



     Each of the Issuer, the Trust Depositor, the Servicer (if other than
CapitalSource), the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer shall maintain
and shall cause each of its employees, officers, agents and Affiliates to
maintain the confidentiality of material non-public information concerning
CapitalSource Inc. and its Public Securities or about the Obligors (to the
extent CapitalSource Inc. has advised such Person or such Person has actual
knowledge that the Loan Documents prohibit disclosure of such information with
respect to the Obligors) obtained by it or them in connection with the
structuring, negotiating, execution and performance of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except that each such party and its
employees, officers, agents and Affiliates may disclose such information to
other parties to the Transaction Documents and to its external accountants,
attorneys, any potential subservicers and the agents of such Persons provided
such Persons expressly agree to maintain the confidentiality of such
information, and as required by an applicable law or order of any judicial or
administrative proceeding.



     Section 13.21. Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment. 



127









 





     All parties hereto agree that each of them and each of their employees,
representatives, and other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without
limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction
and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that
are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.
“Tax treatment” and “tax structure” shall have the same meaning as such terms
have for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4.
