Section

(a)          On
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including the conditions to Purchase set forth in Article
III), on the Purchase Date, the Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Buyer, and
the Buyer hereby purchases and takes from the Seller, in its capacity as lender of record, all right, title and interest (whether
now existing, owned or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located) of the Seller, in the property identified in clauses
(i) through (iii) below and other property consisting of, arising out of, or related to any of the following (but excluding any
such property constituting Excluded Amounts that are for the account of Seller) (collectively, the “Transferred Assets”):


 


(i)          The
Collateral Loans identified by the Seller and which are listed on the Loan List attached hereto, including for the avoidance of
doubt any Participations of Collateral Loans which are listed on Schedule II attached hereto (pending the effectiveness of the
assignment thereof in accordance with Section 2.4) and any Substituted Collateral Loans transferred to the Buyer in connection
with a Warranty Event, together with all monies due or to become due in payment of such Collateral Loans on and after the Purchase
Date, including all Collections;


 




    	4



     


    

 


(ii)         all
Underlying Loan Agreements, Underlying Notes and Related Documents (including, without limitation, any participation or assignment
agreements or any similar agreements related thereto) with respect to the Collateral Loans (including for the avoidance of doubt
any Participations) referred to in clause (i) above;


 


(iii)        all
Liens, property, guaranties, supporting obligations, insurance and other agreements or arrangements of whatever character from
time to time supporting or securing payment of any of the foregoing; and


 


(iv)        all
income and Proceeds of the foregoing.


 


Without limiting the
foregoing, the term “Transferred Assets” (i) shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to include any Collateral
Loan (including for the avoidance of doubt any Participation with respect thereto) acquired by the Buyer in a transaction in which
the Buyer is the designee of the Seller under the instruments of conveyance relating to the applicable Collateral Loan (including
for the avoidance of doubt any Participation with respect thereto), subject in each case to the terms of this Agreement (including
the representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities of the Seller set forth herein) and (ii) shall include only the rights
and obligations of the Seller in its capacity as lender of record and only with respect to the Collateral Loans described on the
Loan List (and shall exclude any rights or obligations (i) as administrative agent for any Collateral Loan and (ii) as lender under
any loan not included in the Loan List).


 


(b)         The
Seller shall be deemed to have certified, and hereby does certify, with respect to the Transferred Assets to be purchased by the
Buyer on the Purchase Date, that its representations and warranties contained in Article IV are true and correct on and
as of the Purchase Date. The Seller and the Buyer acknowledge that the representations and warranties of the Seller in Article
IV will run to and be for the benefit of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, and the Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Secured Parties may enforce, directly without joinder of the Buyer, the repurchase obligations of the Seller with
respect to breaches of certain of the representations and warranties set forth herein.


 


(c)         Except
as specifically provided in this Agreement, the sale and purchase of Transferred Assets under this Agreement shall be without recourse
to the Seller; it being understood that the Seller shall be liable to the Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants
and indemnities made by the Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.


 


(d)         Except
for future funding obligations under any Transferred Assets, the Buyer, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, each Lender
and the other Secured Parties shall not have any obligation or liability to any Obligor (including any obligation to perform any
of the obligations of the Seller (including any obligation with respect to any other related agreements)). Except as set forth
in the immediately preceding sentence, no such obligation or liability is intended to be assumed by the Buyer, the Collateral Agent,
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Secured Parties, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed.

(e)         In
connection with the Purchase of Transferred Assets hereunder, the Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Custodian
no later than 12:00 noon on the Purchase Date (i) the related Document Checklist and (ii) each of the other Required Loan Documents.
Promptly after the Purchase of Transferred Assets hereunder, the Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Collateral
Agent with a copy to the Custodian and the Administrative Agent a properly completed Trade Confirmation, if any, on which the Custodian
may conclusively rely without further inquiry or investigation, and shall deliver to the Custodian the Loan Files for the Transferred
Assets.


 


(f)         In
connection with the transfers contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller hereby grants to each of the Buyer, the Collateral Agent
and the Collateral Manager an irrevocable, non–exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software
used by the Seller to account for the Transferred Assets, to the extent necessary to allow the Buyer, the Collateral Agent or the
Collateral Manager to administer the Transferred Assets, whether such software is owned by the Seller or is owned by others and
used by the Seller under license agreements with respect thereto; provided that should the consent of any licensor of such software
be required for the grant of the license described herein, to be effective, the Seller hereby agrees that upon the request of the
Buyer or the Collateral Agent, the Seller will use its best reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third–party
licensor either before the Closing Date or as soon as possible thereafter. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until
the Final Maturity Date and shall terminate on the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms. The Seller shall
take such action requested by the Buyer or the Collateral Agent, from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate
to ensure that the Buyer has an enforceable ownership interest and that Collateral Agent (and its assigns), for the benefit of
the Secured Parties, under the Credit and Security Agreement have an enforceable security interest in the Transferred Assets purchased
by the Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement.


 


(g)         In
connection with the Purchase by the Buyer of the Transferred Assets as contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller shall, at its
own expense, indicate clearly and unambiguously in its computer files and its financial statements, on or prior to the Purchase
Date, that the Transferred Assets have been purchased by the Buyer in accordance with this Agreement.


 


(h)         The
Seller agrees to deliver to the Buyer, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Custodian on or before the Purchase
Date a computer file containing a true, complete and correct Loan List of all Collateral Loans to be sold or otherwise conveyed
hereunder on the Purchase Date (which shall contain the related Principal Balance, Loan number (if any) and Obligor name for each
Collateral Loan) as of the Purchase Date. Such file or list shall be delivered to the Buyer as confidential and proprietary, and
is automatically incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.


 




    	6



     


    

 


(i)          It
is the intention of the parties hereto that the conveyance of all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to any Transferred
Assets to the Buyer as provided in this Section 2.1 shall constitute an absolute transfer conveying good title, free and
clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) and that the Transferred Assets shall not be part of the Seller’s bankruptcy
estate in the event of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Seller. Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be
deemed a pledge of the Collateral Loans and the other Transferred Assets to the Buyer to secure a debt or other obligation of the
Seller. If, however, notwithstanding the intention of the parties, the conveyance provided for in this Section 2.1 is determined
to be a transfer for security, then this Agreement shall constitute a “security agreement” within the meaning of Article
9 of the UCC and the Seller shall be deemed to have granted (and hereby grants) to the Buyer a duly perfected, first priority “security
interest” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC in all right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets, now
existing and hereafter created, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal
to the aggregate Purchase Price of the Transferred Assets together with all of the other obligations of the Seller hereunder. The
Seller and the Buyer shall file or cause to be filed a UCC-1 financing statement naming the Seller, as debtor, the Buyer, as secured
party, and the Collateral Agent, as assignee secured party, listing all of the Transferred Assets pledged hereunder as collateral
thereunder. The Buyer shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under this Agreement, all other rights
and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other Applicable Law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.


 


Section
2.2          Purchase Price.


 


The purchase price
for each Transferred Asset sold to the Buyer by the Seller under this Agreement shall be a dollar amount equal to the “cost”
therefor, as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto (the “Purchase
Price”).


 


Section
2.3          Payment of Purchase Price.


 


(a)         The
Purchase Price for the Transferred Assets sold by the Seller to the Buyer on the Purchase Date shall be paid in a combination of
(i) immediately available funds and (ii) if the Buyer does not have sufficient funds to pay the full amount of the Purchase Price,
by means of a capital contribution by the Seller to the Buyer.


 


(b)         Notwithstanding
any provision herein to the contrary, the Seller may on the Purchase Date elect to designate all or a portion of the Transferred
Assets proposed to be transferred to the Buyer on such date as a capital contribution to the Buyer. In such event, the cash portion
of the Purchase Price payable with respect to such transfer shall be reduced by that portion of the Purchase Price of the Transferred
Assets that was so contributed; provided that Transferred Assets contributed to the Buyer as capital shall constitute Transferred
Assets for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be subject to all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities hereunder
relating to the Transferred Assets.


 


(c)         Upon
the payment of the Purchase Price for the Purchase, title to the Transferred Assets included in the Purchase shall vest in the
Buyer (subject, in the case of any Participation, to the effectiveness of the assignment of the related Collateral Loan in accordance
with Section 2.4), whether or not the conditions precedent to the Purchase and the other covenants and agreements contained
herein were in fact satisfied; provided that the Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any claim it may have under this Agreement
for the failure by the Seller in fact to satisfy any such condition precedent, covenant or agreement.

Section
2.4          Actions Pending Completion of Assignments of Collateral
Loans.


 


(a)         With
respect to the Collateral Loans identified on Schedule II hereto, pending the receipt of any required consents to, and the
effectiveness of, the assignment of each such Collateral Loan from the Seller to the Buyer in accordance with the applicable underlying
instrument, the Seller hereby sells to the Buyer an undivided 100% participation in such Collateral Loan and the related Transferred
Assets (each, a “Participation”). The Participations will not include any rights that are not permitted to be
participated pursuant to the terms of the underlying instruments. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, such sale
of the Participations shall be without recourse to the Seller (including, without limitation, with regard to collectability), and
shall constitute an absolute sale of each such Participation. Each of the Participations has the following characteristics: (i)
the Participation represents an undivided participating interest in 100% of the underlying Collateral Loan and its proceeds (including
Collections); (ii) the Seller does not provide any guaranty of payments to the holder of the Participation or other form of recourse
(except as specifically provided in this Agreement) or credit support; and (iii) the Participation represents a pass through of
all of the payments made on the Collateral Loan (including the Collections) and will last for the same length of time as such Collateral
Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, each Participation will terminate automatically upon the settlement of the assignment of the
underlying Collateral Loan.


 


(b)         Each
Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Purchase Date, but in any event
no later than 45 days after the Purchase Date, cause the Buyer to become a lender under the underlying instrument with respect
to the Seller’s interest in the applicable Collateral Loan and take such action as shall be mutually agreeable in connection
therewith and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the underlying instrument and consistent with the terms of this Agreement.


 


(c)         Pending
settlement of the assignment of a Collateral Loan in accordance with the applicable underlying instruments, the Seller shall comply
with any written instructions provided to the Seller by or on behalf of the Buyer with respect to voting rights to be exercised
by holders of the applicable Collateral Loan, other than with respect to any voting rights that are not permitted to be participated
pursuant to the terms of the applicable underlying instrument (and such restrictions, requirements or prohibitions are hereby incorporated
by reference as if set forth herein).

accordance with its respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Insolvency Laws and by general principles

(e)         No
Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof will

of time or both) a default under, the Seller’s Constituent Documents or any contractual obligation of the Seller, (ii) result
in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the Seller’s properties pursuant to the terms of any such contractual
obligation, other than this Agreement, or (iii) violate any Applicable Law.


 


(f)          No
Proceedings. There is no litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best knowledge of the Seller, threatened
against the Seller, 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 could

or otherwise transfers the Transferred Assets to the Buyer.


 


(q)         Value

Transferred Assets as contemplated by this Agreement (including for such purpose the portion of the Purchase Price that is treated
as a capital contribution from the Seller to the Buyer), the Purchase has not been made for or on account of an antecedent debt
owed by the Seller to the Buyer, and no such transfer is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under any section of the Bankruptcy

    	12



     


    

 


(r)          Accounting.
The Seller accounts for the transfers to the Buyer from the Seller of interests in Transferred Assets as sales of such Transferred
Assets for consolidated accounting purposes and for legal and, where relevant, tax purposes on its books, records and financial
statements, in each case consistent with GAAP and with the requirements set forth herein, provided that for federal income
tax reporting purposes, the Buyer is treated as a “disregarded entity” and, therefore, the transfer of Transferred
Assets by the Seller to the Buyer hereunder will not be recognized.


 


(s)         Special
Purpose Entity. The Buyer is an entity with assets and liabilities separate and distinct from those of the Seller and any Affiliates
thereof, and the Seller hereby acknowledges that the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured
Parties are entering into the transactions contemplated by the Credit and Security Agreement in reliance upon the Buyer’s
identity as a legal entity that is separate from the Seller and from each other Affiliate of the Seller. Therefore, from and after
the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller shall take all reasonable steps, including all steps that the
Buyer or the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request, to maintain the Buyer’s identity as a legal entity
that is separate from the Seller and from each other Affiliate of the Seller, and to make it manifest to third parties that the
Buyer is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Seller and each other Affiliate thereof and not just
a division of the Seller or any such other Affiliate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other
covenants set forth herein, the Seller shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that the Buyer has not and will not take, refrain
from taking, or fail to take (as applicable) any action described in Section 5.05 of the Credit and Security Agreement.


 


(t)          Confirmation
from the Seller. Each of the Buyer and the Seller is aware that the filing of a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code
for the purpose of making any Transferred Assets or any other assets of the Buyer available to satisfy claims of the creditors
of the Seller would not result in making such assets available to satisfy such creditors under the Bankruptcy Code. The Seller
will not cause the Buyer to file a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or Insolvency Laws.


 


(u)         ERISA.
The Seller does not maintain, nor are any employees of the Seller permitted to participate in, a Pension Plan.

with Law. The Seller has complied in all respects with all Applicable Laws to which it may be subject, and no item of the Transferred
Assets contravenes any Applicable Laws.

etc. As of the Purchase Date for a Transferred Asset, such Transferred Asset has not been compromised, adjusted, extended,
satisfied, subordinated, rescinded, set–off or modified by the Seller or by the Obligor thereof, and such Transferred Asset
is not subject to compromise, adjustment, extension, satisfaction, subordination, rescission, set–off, counterclaim, defense,
abatement, suspension, deferment, deduction, reduction, termination or modification, whether arising out of transactions concerning
such Transferred Assets or otherwise, by the Seller or by the Obligor with respect thereto, except for amendments, extension and
modifications, if any, to such Transferred Asset otherwise permitted under the Facility Documents.


 




    	13



     


    

 


(x)         Full
Payment. As of the Purchase Date, the Seller has no actual knowledge of any fact which leads it to expect that any Transferred
Assets will not be paid in full.


 


(y)         Representations
and Warranties for Benefit of the Buyer’s Assignees: Each of the representations and warranties of the Seller contained
in this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects on the Purchase Date, and the Seller hereby makes each such representation
and warranty to, and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties.

PATRIOT Act. Neither the Seller nor any Affiliate of the Seller is (i) a country, territory, organization, person or entity
named on an Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) list; (ii) a Person that resides or has a place of business in a country or
territory named on such lists or which is designated as a “Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction” by the Financial Action Task
Force on Money Laundering, or whose subscription funds are transferred from or through such a jurisdiction; (iii) a “Foreign
Shell Bank” within the meaning of the USA PATRIOT Act, i.e., a foreign bank that does not have a physical presence in any

or (iv) a person or entity that resides in or is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction designated by the United States Secretary
of the Treasury under Sections 311 or 312 of the USA PATRIOT Act as warranting special measures due to money laundering concerns.


 


It is understood and
agreed that the representations and warranties provided in this Section 4.1 shall survive (x) the sale and assignment or
contribution of the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Buyer and (y) any subsequent transfer of the Transferred Assets by
the Buyer (including its grant of a first priority perfected security interest in, to and under the Transferred Assets pursuant
to the Credit and Security Agreement) and such representations and warranties, may not be waived by any party hereto without the
consent of the Administrative Agent.


 


Section
4.2          Representations and Warranties of the Seller Relating
to the Agreement and the Transferred Assets.


 


The Seller hereby represents
and warrants to the Buyer, as of the Purchase Date:


 


(a)         Binding
Obligation, Valid Transfer and Security Interest. This Agreement constitutes a valid transfer to the Buyer of all right, title
and interest of the Seller in, to and under all of the Transferred Assets, free and clear of any Lien of any Person claiming through
or under the Seller or its Affiliates, except for Permitted Liens, and subject, in the case of any Participation, to the effectiveness
of the assignment of the related Collateral Loan in accordance with Section 2.4. If the conveyances contemplated by this
Agreement are determined to be a transfer for security, then this Agreement constitutes a grant of a security interest in all of
the Transferred Assets to the Buyer which upon the delivery of the Required Loan Documents to the Custodian, the crediting of Collateral
Loans to the Covered Accounts and the filing of the financing statements described in Section 2.1(i) and, in the case of
additional Collateral Loans on the Purchase Date, shall be a valid and enforceable first priority perfected security interest in
all Transferred Assets, subject only to the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties,
pursuant to the Credit and Security Agreement. Neither the Seller nor any Person claiming through or under Seller shall have any
claim to or interest in any Covered Account and if this Agreement constitutes the grant of a security interest in such property,
except for the interest of the Seller in such property as a debtor for purposes of the UCC.


 




    	14



     


    

 


(b)         Eligibility
of Transferred Assets. As of the Purchase Date, (i) Schedule I and Schedule II provide an accurate and complete
listing of all the Collateral Loans and other Transferred Assets hereunder as of the Purchase Date and the information contained
therein with respect to the identity of such Collateral Loans and other Transferred Assets and the amounts owing thereunder is
true and correct as of the Purchase Date, (ii) each such Collateral Loan is an Eligible Loan as of the Purchase Date, (iii) the
Buyer owns all right, title and interest in and to each such Transferred Asset, free and clear of any Lien of any Person (other

Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the Credit and Security Agreement) and in compliance with all Applicable
Laws, (iv) with respect to each such Transferred Asset, all consents, licenses, approvals or authorizations of or registrations
or declarations of any Governmental Authority or any Person required to be obtained, effected or given in connection with the transfer
of an ownership interest in such Transferred Asset to the Buyer have been duly obtained, effected or given and are in full force
and effect (other than, in the case of any Participation, the effectiveness of the assignment of the related Collateral Loan in
accordance with Section 2.4), and (v) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.2(a) are true and
correct with respect to each Transferred Asset.


 


(c)         No
Fraud. Each Collateral Loan was originated without any fraud or material misrepresentation by the Seller or, to the best of
the Seller’s knowledge, on the part of the Obligor.


 


It is understood and
agreed that the representations and warranties provided in this Section 4.2 shall survive (x) the sale and assignment or
contribution of the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Buyer and (y) any subsequent transfer of the Transferred Assets by
the Buyer (including its grant of a perfected security interest in, to and under the Transferred Assets pursuant to the Credit
and Security Agreement which, shall be a first priority security interest) and such representations and warranties, may not be
waived by any party hereto without the consent of the Administrative Agent.

time deliver to the Buyer, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent a written notice setting forth in reasonable detail
the nature of such facts and circumstances. In particular, but without limiting the foregoing, the Seller shall notify the Buyer,
the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent in the manner set forth in the preceding sentence before the Purchase Date of

as a legal entity that is separate from the Seller and each other Affiliate of the Seller and to make it manifest to third parties
that the Buyer is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Seller and each other Affiliate thereof and
not just a division of the Seller or any such other Affiliate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition
to the other covenants set forth herein, the Seller agrees that:

(k)         Payment
Performance and Discharge of Obligations. The Seller will pay, perform and discharge all of its obligations and liabilities,
including all taxes, assessments and governmental charges upon its income and properties, when due, the non–payment, performance

and interest of the Buyer, and the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in, to and under the Transferred Assets
against all claims of third parties; provided that nothing in this Section 5.2(b) shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit
the Seller from suffering to exist Permitted Liens upon any of the Transferred Assets and Liens permitted in the immediately preceding
sentence.


 


(c)         Change
of Name or Location of Loan Files. The Seller shall not change its name, move the location of its principal place of business
and chief executive office, change the offices where it keeps the records from the location referred to in Section 10.2,
or change the jurisdiction of its incorporation, unless the Seller has given at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the
Buyer, the Custodian, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent and has taken all actions required under the UCC of each
relevant jurisdiction in order to continue the first priority perfected security interest of the Buyer and the Collateral Agent,
for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Transferred Assets.


 


(d)         Accounting
of Purchases. The Seller will not account for or treat (whether in financial statements or otherwise) the transactions contemplated
hereby in any manner other than as a sale or contribution of the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Buyer; provided
that for federal income tax reporting purposes, the Buyer is treated as a “disregarded entity” and, therefore, the
transfer of Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Buyer hereunder will not be recognized; and provided, further, that nothing
shall prevent Seller from showing the Transferred Assets as consolidated assets of the Seller and its consolidated subsidiaries
on Seller’s consolidated financial statements.

in Payment Instructions to Obligors. The Seller will not add or terminate any Covered Account or make any change in its instructions
to the administrative agent under each Transferred Asset or the applicable Obligors thereof if no administrative agent exists,
regarding payments to be made with respect to the Transferred Assets to any Covered Account, unless the Administrative Agent has
consented to such addition, termination or change (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).


 


(g)         Extension
or Amendment of Transferred Assets. Except as otherwise permitted under the Credit and Security Agreement, the Seller will
not extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Transferred Assets (including the Underlying Assets).

REMOVAL OR REPLACEMENT
OF WARRANTY COLLATERAL LOANS


 


If on any day a Collateral
Loan is (or becomes) a Warranty Collateral Loan, no later than five (5) Business Days following the earlier of knowledge by the
Seller of such Collateral Loan becoming a Warranty Collateral Loan or receipt by the Seller from the Buyer of written notice thereof,
the Seller shall either: (a) make a deposit to the Collection Account in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the
sum of (i) the Repurchase Amount of such Collateral Loan at such time, (ii) any expenses or fees with respect to such Collateral
Loan and (iii) costs and damages incurred by the Administrative Agent or by any Lender in connection with any violation by such
Collateral Loan of any Applicable Law; or (b) substitute for such Warranty Collateral Loan a Substituted Collateral Loan so long
as, in each case, (1) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, immediately after giving effect to such substitution,
no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, (2) such Substituted Collateral Loan is an Eligible Loan, (3) all applicable
conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.1 have been satisfied with respect to each Substituted Collateral Loan to be
acquired by the Borrower in connection with such substitution, and (4) the Borrowing Base Test shall be satisfied immediately
after giving effect to such substitution. In either of the foregoing instances, the Seller may (in its discretion) accept retransfer
of each such Warranty Collateral Loan and any related Underlying Assets. Upon the transfer of each Warranty Collateral Loan, the
Buyer shall (if and when the Seller elects to accept the retransfer of such Warranty Collateral Loan or directs the Buyer to transfer
such Collateral Loan to a third party) automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer, assign and set-over to or
at the direction of the Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Buyer in,
to and under such Warranty Collateral Loan and all future monies due or to become due with respect thereto, the Underlying Assets,
all Proceeds of such Warranty Collateral Loan, all rights to security for any such Warranty Collateral Loan, and all Proceeds and
products of the foregoing. The Buyer shall (if and when the Seller elects to accept the retransfer of such Warranty Collateral
Loan or directs the Buyer to transfer such Collateral Loan to a third party), at the request and sole expense of the Seller, execute
such documents and instruments of transfer, assignment and release as may be prepared by the Seller and take other such actions
as shall reasonably be requested by the Seller to effect the transfer of such Warranty Collateral Loan pursuant to this Article
VI. It is understood and agreed that, with respect to a Warranty Collateral Loan, repurchase of such Warranty Collateral Loan
by the Seller (or a third party) or substitution by the Seller of a Substitute Collateral Loan for such Warranty Collateral Loan
shall be the sole remedies available to the Buyer and its assignees hereunder and any other beneficiary of the Buyer’s rights
hereunder (but shall not limit any claims under Section 9.1 in respect of any Indemnified Amounts).

INDEMNIFICATION


 


Section
9.1          Indemnification by the Seller.


 


(a)         Without
limiting any other rights that the Buyer, any assignee of the Buyer or any of such Persons’ respective shareholders, officers,
employees, agents, or Affiliates (each an “Indemnified Party”) may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the
Seller hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and
related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively
referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”), awarded against or incurred by such Indemnified Party or any of them
as a result of any of the Indemnified Matters (as defined below), excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting
from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Indemnified Party, and (b) Indemnified
Amounts that have the effect of recourse for non–payment of the Transferred Assets due to credit problems of the Obligors
(including bankruptcy or insolvency). If the Seller has made any indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 9.1 and such
payment fully indemnified the recipient thereof and the recipient thereafter collects any payments from others in respect of such
Indemnified Amounts, then the recipient shall repay to the Seller an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in
respect of such indemnified amounts. As used herein, “Indemnified Matters” means:


 


(i)          any
representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Seller, or any of its officers under or in connection with this Agreement,
which shall have been false, incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made or delivered;


 


(ii)         the
failure by the Seller to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement or any agreement executed in connection
with this Agreement, or with any Applicable Law, with respect to any Transferred Assets or the nonconformity of any Transferred
Assets with any such Applicable Law, or any breach by the Seller of its contractual obligations with respect to any Transferred
Assets;


 


(iii)        the
failure to vest and maintain vested in the Buyer, an ownership interest in the Transferred Assets, together with all Collections,
free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens or other Liens to which the Administrative Agent has consented in its sole
discretion) whether existing at the time of the Purchase or at any time thereafter;


 


(iv)        the
failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing statements, continuation statements or other similar instruments or documents
under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other Applicable Laws with respect to any Transferred Assets, whether at the time
of the Purchase or at any subsequent time which are required by this Agreement or the other Facility Documents;


 


(v)         at
the time of conveyance of a Transferred Asset, the existence of any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than the discharge
in bankruptcy of an Obligor) of an Obligor to the payment with respect to any Transferred Assets (including a defense based on
the Transferred Assets not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with
its terms);


 


(vi)        any
inability to obtain any judgment in, or utilize the court or other adjudication system of, any state in which an Obligor may be
located as a result of the failure of the Seller to qualify to do business or file any notice or business activity report or any
similar report;


 


(vii)       any
action taken by the Seller in the enforcement or collection of any Transferred Assets;


 


(viii)      any
claim, suit or action of any kind arising out of or in connection with Environmental Laws that arose prior to the date any Transferred
Asset was sold or otherwise transferred to Buyer, including any vicarious liability resulting from any act or omission of the Seller;


 




    	24



     


    

 


(ix)         the
failure by Seller to pay when due any Taxes for which the Seller is liable, including sales, excise or personal property taxes
payable in connection with the Transferred Assets;


 


(x)          any
repayment by the Indemnified Party of any amount previously distributed hereunder or under any Facility Document to the Seller,
in each case which amount the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is required to be repaid;


 


(xi)         the
comingling of Collections on the Transferred Assets at any time with other funds of the Seller;


 


(xii)        any
investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement arising from any act or omission of the Seller or the Seller’s
use of proceeds of Purchases or the security interest in the Transferred Assets;


 


(xiii)       the
failure of the Seller or any of its agents or representatives to remit to the Buyer Collections on the Transferred Assets remitted
to the Seller or any such agent or representative as provided in this Agreement; or


 


(xiv)      any
attempt by the Seller, any creditor of Seller or any trustee or debtor-in-possession for the Seller to void the purchases made
hereunder under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action.


 


(b)         Any
amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.1 shall be paid by the Seller to the Indemnified Party
within five (5) Business Days following such Person’s demand therefor.


 


(c)         If
for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.1 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient
to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Seller shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party
as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Seller, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of such Indemnified
Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that the Seller shall have no contribution obligation under
this Section 9.1(c) if the payment of any such amounts would have the effect of recourse for nonpayment of the Collateral
Loans included in the Transferred Assets due to credit problems of the related Obligors.


 


(d)         The
obligations of the Seller under this Section 9.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.


 


(e)         Indemnification
under Section 9.1 shall be in an amount necessary to make the Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any tax
consequences to the Indemnified Party of the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder, including the effect of such tax or refund
on the amount of tax measured by net income or profits that is or was payable by the Indemnified Party.

Section
9.2          Assignment of Indemnities.


 


The Seller acknowledges
that, pursuant to the Credit and Security Agreement, the Buyer shall assign its rights of indemnity granted hereunder to the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Upon such assignment, (i) the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties,
shall have all rights of the Buyer hereunder and may in turn assign such rights as permitted under the Credit and Security Agreement,
and (ii) the obligations of the Seller under this Article IX shall inure to the Collateral Agent. The Seller agrees that,
upon such assignment, the Lenders, the other Secured Parties, and the Collateral Agent or the assignee of any such Person, as applicable,
may enforce directly, without joinder of the Buyer, the indemnities set forth in this Article IX.

Section
10.13     Rights of Inspection.


 


Prior to the Closing
Date and periodically thereafter at the discretion of the Buyer, the Seller will permit the Buyer to review the Collateral Manager’s
collection and administration of the Transferred Assets in order to assess compliance by the Collateral Manager with the Credit
and Collection Policy, as well as with this Agreement and may conduct an audit of the Transferred Assets and Required Loan Documents
in conjunction with such a review. Such review shall be reasonable in scope and shall be completed in a reasonable period of time.
The Seller shall be required to bear the expense of no more than two such reviews within any 12-month period and any additional
reviews shall be at the expense of the Buyer. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.13, from time
to time on request of the Buyer, the Seller shall permit certified public accountants or other auditors acceptable to the Buyer
to conduct, at the Seller’s expense, a review of the Required Loan Documents and all other documentation regarding the Transferred
Assets.


 


Section
10.14     Assignment.


 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Buyer or the Seller except as permitted by this Section
10.14 or by the Credit and Security Agreement. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Buyer
shall assign all of its right, title and interest herein to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to which
assignment the Seller hereby expressly consents. Upon assignment, the Seller agrees to perform its obligations hereunder for the
benefit of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent, in such capacity, shall be a third
party beneficiary hereof. The Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under the Credit and Security Agreement upon such
assignment may enforce the provisions of this Agreement, exercise the rights of the Buyer and enforce the obligations of the Seller
hereunder without joinder of the Buyer.


 


Section
10.15     No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.


 


No failure to exercise
and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Buyer or the Seller, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate
as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges
herein provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. Any waiver of
this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
