Under no circumstances shall any Lender make an Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Advances outstanding would exceed the lowest of (i) the Facility Amount, (ii) the Borrowing Base and (iii) the Maximum Availability, or (ii) in the case of a Committed Lender, the aggregate principal amount of the Advances funded by such Committed Lender would exceed such Committed Lender’s Commitment.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, during the period from the 








Effective Date to the Facility Termination Date, the Borrower may borrow, re-borrow, repay and prepay (subject to the provisions of Section 2.4) one or more Advances.
i.Contract Approvals.  All Contracts acquired by the Borrower on the Effective Date and all Contract Payments related thereto, and any Contracts and related Contract Payments involving an Obligor under such Contracts which may be acquired by the Borrower after the Effective Date, to the extent set forth on the initial Asset Approval Notice, are deemed to satisfy clause (iii) of the definition of Eligible Contract Payment.  The Borrower shall provide written notice to the Facility Agent of its intent to purchase any Contract from the Equityholder prior to any proposed purchase date, along with such description and supporting information regarding the Contract as requested by the Facility Agent.  The Borrower shall not acquire any Contract unless the Facility Agent has granted its prior approval hereunder.  The Facility Agent shall grant or deny its approval within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days) following receipt of an Asset Approval Request (along with any relevant credit materials, including underwriting memos, financial statements and other information reasonably requested by the Facility Agent); provided that if the Facility Agent fails to respond within such ten (10) Business Day period, such request will be deemed to be denied.  Once a Contract has been approved hereunder, all Contract Payments related thereto shall be deemed to satisfy clause (iii) of the definition of Eligible Contract Payment for all purposes hereunder.
b.Funding of Advances.
  (a)  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2, the Borrower may request Advances hereunder by giving notice to the Facility Agent and the Paying Agent of the proposed Advance at or prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, at least (i) in the case of Advances of more than 20% of the then-current Facility Amount, sixty-one (61) days or (ii) in the case of Advances of up to 20% of the then-current Facility Amount, two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Advance Date; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the initial Advance on the Effective Date; and provided further, that there shall be a maximum of two Advances requested per week.  Such notice (herein called the “Advance Request”) shall be in the form of Exhibit C-1 and shall include the proposed Advance Date (specifically identifying whether such Advance will be on two (2) Business Days’ notice or sixty-one (61) days’ notice and, if on two (2) Business Days’ notice, a calculation showing that after giving effect to such Advance not more than 20% of the Advances outstanding shall be Advances requested by the Borrower on less than sixty-one (61) days’ notice) and amount of such proposed Advance and shall, if applicable, be accompanied by an Asset Approval Request setting forth the information required therein with respect to the Contracts to be acquired by the Borrower on the Advance Date.  The amount of any Advance shall at least be equal to $250,000.  Any Advance Request given by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.2, shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.  Neither the Facility Agent nor the Paying Agent shall have any obligation to lend funds hereunder.  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2, and the Paying Agent’s receipt of such funds in sufficient time and no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Advance Date, the Paying Agent shall make the proceeds of such requested Advances available as follows: first, to pay any fees and expenses due to the Lenders on the applicable Advance Date; and second, all amounts of the Advances in excess of the amounts distributed pursuant to first above shall be made available to the Borrower by deposit to 








such account as may be designated by the Borrower (in a written notice received to the Paying Agent in same day funds no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Advance Date.  The Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that any election by any Lender on one or more occasions to fund any Advance on any day prior to the full passage of such sixty-one (61) day notice period set forth herein shall not constitute or be deemed to be an amendment, waiver or other modification of the requirement for sixty-one (61) days’ notice prior to any Lender funding any Advance hereunder.
i.Committed Lender’s Commitment.  At no time will any Uncommitted Lender have any obligation to fund an Advance.  At all times on and after the Conduit Advance Termination Date, all Advances shall be made by the applicable Committed Lenders.  At any time when any Uncommitted Lender has failed to or has rejected a request to fund an Advance, it shall so notify the Related Committed Lender and such Related Committed Lender shall fund such Advance to the Paying Agent.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.2(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, no Committed Lender shall be obligated to provide the Borrower with funds in connection with an Advance in an amount that would result in the portion of the Advances then funded by it exceeding its Commitment then in effect (minus the unrecovered principal amount of such Committed Lender’s investments in the Advances pursuant to the Structured Lender Liquidity Arrangement to which it is a party).  The obligation of the Committed Lender in each Lender Group to remit any Advance shall be several from that of the other Lenders, and the failure of any Committed Lender to so make such amount available to the Borrower shall not relieve any other Committed Lender of its obligation hereunder.
c.Notes.
  The Borrower shall, upon request of any Lender Group, on or after such Lender Group becomes a party hereto (whether on the Effective Date or by assignment or otherwise), execute and deliver a Note evidencing the Advances of such Lender Group.

The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to the Notes (or on any continuation of such grid, or at the option of such Lender, in its records), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of the outstanding principal of the Advances evidenced thereby and each payment of principal thereon.  Such notations shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the subject matter thereof absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the Obligations or any payment thereon.
a.Repayment and Prepayments.
  The Borrower shall repay in full the unpaid principal amount of each Advance upon any acceleration pursuant to Section 14.2 and on the Maturity Date.  Prior thereto, the Borrower:
i.may, from time to time on any Business Day, make a prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount of any Advance; provided, however, that
1.all such voluntary prepayments shall require at least one Business Day’s prior written notice to the Facility Agent and Paying Agent; and








2.all such voluntary prepayments paid from proceeds of additional Indebtedness incurred by the Collateral Manager, the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates after the date hereof shall include full payment of the applicable Prepayment Fee; provided that no Prepayment Fee shall be payable in connection with (i) a securitization or other capital markets take-out of assets owned by the Borrower, which transaction is led by the Facility Agent (or an Affiliate thereof) (ii) the application of any Collections or Repurchase Amounts to reduce Advances or (iii) the application of any funds contributed to the Borrower (regardless of the source) and utilized to cure a Facility Termination Event or an Unmatured Facility Termination Event;
3.all such voluntary partial prepayments shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000; and
4.each prepayment shall be applied on the Business Day received by the Paying Agent if received by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day by the Paying Agent as Amount Available pursuant to Section 8.5 as if (x) the date of such prepayment were a Distribution Date and (y) such prepayment occurred during the Collection Period to which such Distribution Date relates; provided that the Collateral Manager shall direct the Paying Agent, with notice to the Facility Agent, as to the pro rata distribution to each Lender; and
ii.shall, within three (3) Business Days of the date when the outstanding principal amount of Advances exceeds the Borrowing Base, make a prepayment of the Advances in an amount equal to such excess (or, if TPVC provides written evidence satisfactory to the Facility Agent within two (2) Business Days of receipt of notice that they intend to make capital calls in an aggregate amount sufficient to cure such failure, within five (5) Business Days).
Each such prepayment shall be subject to the payment of any amounts required by Section 5.2 resulting from a prepayment or payment. 
a.Calculation of Discount Factor.


i.In connection with the purchase of each Contract and prior to such Contract being purchased by the Borrower and included in the Borrower Collateral, the Facility Agent will assign (in its sole discretion) a Discount Factor for such Contract, which Discount Factor shall remain effective for such Contract except as provided in clause (b) below; provided that for any Contract included in the Borrower Collateral as of the Effective Date that has yet to be approved by the Facility Agent as of such date by delivery of the related Asset Approval Notice, the Facility Agent in its sole discretion may amend the Discount Factor until such Asset Approval Notice is provided.
ii.If a Revaluation Event occurs with respect to any Contract, the Discount Factor of such Contract may be amended by the Facility Agent, in its sole discretion.  The Facility Agent will provide written notice of the revised Discount Factor to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager.  To the 








extent the Collateral Manager has actual knowledge or has received notice of any Revaluation Event with respect to any Contract, the Collateral Manager shall give prompt notice thereof to the Facility Agent (but, in any event, not later than two (2) Business Days after it receives notice or gains actual knowledge thereof).


a.Defaulting Lenders.
  (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash 








collateral pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto; and
2.for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to (x) receive any fees hereunder for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and under no circumstance shall the Borrower retroactively be or become required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender) or (y) exercise any voting or other discretion with respect to such Lender’s Commitments hereunder.
i.If the Facility Agent and the Borrower determine in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Facility Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Facility Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
b.Replacement of Lenders.
  If any Lender is being replaced pursuant to Section 18.15, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Facility Agent, require such Lender to (1) within three (3) Business Days of Borrower’s request, assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Article XVI), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be an existing Lender, if such existing Lender accepts such assignment, and if the Lender being replaced shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such documentation required for assignment prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Facility Agent may, but shall not be required to, execute and deliver such assignment in the name and on behalf of the Lender being replaced and, irrespective of whether the Facility Agent executes and delivers such assignment documentation, the Lender being replaced shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such assignment documentation) or (2) terminate all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and reduce the aggregate Commitments outstanding; provided that:

and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) or (B) if such Lender’s Commitments have been terminated pursuant to clause (2) above, such Lender shall have received payment of all such amounts payable to it hereunder from the Borrower; provided that any non-pro rata payments to a Lender hereunder must be consented to by the Facility Agent; and

i.The Borrower may, at any time prior to the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the last day of the Scheduled Facility Termination Date, request an extension of the Scheduled Facility Termination Date by providing written notice of such request to each Lender and to the Facility Agent (an “Extension Request”). Any Lender agreeing to extend the Scheduled Facility Termination Date with respect to its Commitment (each, an “Extending Lender”) shall provide written notice of its agreement to extend the Scheduled Facility Termination Date to the Facility Agent and the Borrower. No Lender Group shall have any obligation to agree to extend the Scheduled Facility Termination Date with respect to its Commitment; and in the event any Lender shall not provide written notice of its agreement to extend the Scheduled Facility Termination Date within thirty (30) days following its receipt of the Extension Request, such Lender Group shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension Request (each, a “Non-Extending Lender Group”). The Borrower may withdraw any Extension Request in its sole discretion prior to the effectiveness of such extension, including without limitation in connection with any rejection or deemed rejection by any Lender of any Extension Request.
ii.In the event there shall be one or more Non-Extending Lender Groups, the Borrower may, in accordance with Section 2.7, (i) by notice to the Facility Agent for each Extending Lender, invite each Extending Lender Group to increase their Commitment by purchasing a pro rata amount of the Non-Extending Lender Group’s Commitment, (ii) invite one or more financial institutions to purchase the Commitments of the Non-Extending Lender Group(s) and become a “Lender” under this Agreement or (iii) have the Non-Extending Lender Group’s Commitment terminated.
iii.The Scheduled Facility Termination Date with respect to Commitments of the Extending Lender Group and each New Lender, as applicable, will be extended pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Facility Agent and each member of the Extending Lender Group and each New Lender, if any, without the consent of any other Person, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the execution and delivery of any such amendment.
d.Increase of Facility Amount.
  The Borrower may, at any time after the Effective Date, deliver a written notice to the Facility Agent, each Lender and the Custodian (x) certifying that no Facility Termination Event or Unmatured Facility Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and (y) requesting an increase of the Facility Amount to an amount not to exceed $400,000,000 (the amount so 








requested being the “Increased Facility Amount”).  The Facility Amount shall be so increased to the Increased Facility Amount on the later of (x) the second Business Day immediately following the receipt of such written notice by the Facility Agent, the Custodian and each Lender and (y) the date on which Lenders (which may include new Lenders) have executed such documentation as the Facility Agent may reasonably require to evidence increased Commitments or new Commitments which, together with all other Commitments in effect at such date, equal in the aggregate the Increased Facility Amount.  Any amendment may, with the consent of the Facility Agent, Borrower and the Lenders or prospective lenders agreeing to the proposed increase(s), effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.9 without the consent of any Lender not agreeing to increase its Commitment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment and no Lender’s Commitment shall be increased without its consent thereto, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its Commitment.
A.  YIELD, FEES, ETC.
a.Yield.
  The Borrower hereby promises to pay on the dates specified in Section 3.2 Yield on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance (or each portion thereof) for the period commencing on the applicable Advance Date until such Advance is paid in full; provided that, for purposes of all calculations of Yield and the Commitment Fee in this Agreement, the aggregate Advances outstanding on each day of such period shall be deemed to be the greater of (i) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Advances on such day and (ii) the Minimum Utilization Percentage then in effect multiplied by the Commitments.  No provision of this Agreement or the Notes shall require the payment or permit the collection of Yield in excess of the maximum permitted by Applicable Law.
a.Yield and Commitment Fee Payment Dates.
  Yield accrued on each Advance (including any previously accrued and unpaid Yield) and the Commitment Fee (if any) shall be payable, without duplication:
i.on the Maturity Date;
ii.on the date of any payment or prepayment, in whole or in part, of principal outstanding on such Advance; and
iii.on each Distribution Date (or, with respect to any Commitment Fee payable after July 2021, on each Commitment Fee Distribution Date).
b.Yield Calculation.
  The Advances shall bear interest on each day during each Accrual Period at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate for such Accrual Period.
a.Computation of Yield.
  All Yield shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such Yield is payable over a year comprised of 360 days.  Each Lender and the Facility Agent (for itself) shall determine the applicable Yield, all Fees, any amounts due and payable pursuant to Sections 4.3 and 5.1 and any other amounts hereunder to be paid by the Borrower to the Lenders or the Facility Agent (as applicable) on each Distribution Date for the related Accrual Period and shall advise the Facility Agent thereof in writing no later than the fifth (5th) day immediately prior to such Distribution Date.
A.  PAYMENTS; TAXES
a.Making of Payments.








  Subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions hereof, all payments of principal of or Yield on the Advances and other amounts due to the Lenders shall be made by the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 8.5 by no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day when due in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds.  Payments received by any Lender after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on any day will be deemed to have been received by such Lender on its next following Business Day.  Payments in reduction of the principal amount of the Advances shall be allocated and applied to Lenders pro rata based on their respective portions of such Advances, or in any such case in such other proportions as each affected Lender may agree upon in writing from time to time with such Lender and the Borrower.  Payments of Yield shall be allocated and applied to Lenders pro rata based upon the respective amounts of interest due and payable to them.
a.Due Date Extension.
  If any payment of principal or Yield with respect to any Advance falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next following Business Day, and additional Yield shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension at the rate applicable to such Advance.
a.Taxes.
  (a)  Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Borrower or TPVC under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to which the Borrower is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other governmental authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law.  If the Borrower or TPVC shall be required under any applicable requirement of law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to an Affected Person (including for purposes of Section 5.1 and this Section 4.3, any assignee, successor, or participant of an Affected Person), (i) Borrower or TPVC (as applicable) shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Borrower or TPVC (as applicable) shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other governmental authority in accordance with any requirement of law, and (iii) the sum payable by Borrower or TPVC (as applicable) shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Borrower or TPVC (as applicable) has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 4.3) the Affected Person receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes.  For purposes of this Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than (y) Taxes that are imposed on an Affected Person’s overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Affected Person is organized or, in the case of an Affected Person that is a Lender, of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of the Affected Person having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes) and (z) Taxes imposed by FATCA.
i.In addition, the Borrower and TPVC hereby agree to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, filing, intangible, property or value-added taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made by such Person under or in respect of this Agreement or 








any other Transaction Document or from such Person’s execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of, any performance, receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”) and any liabilities (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) of such Person arising therefrom or with respect thereto.
ii.The Borrower and TPVC hereby agree to indemnify each Affected Person (including its direct or indirect beneficial owners) for, and to hold them harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on or paid by the Affected Person (or any direct or indirect beneficial owners thereof) (as applicable) and any liabilities (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  Amounts payable by the Borrower under the indemnity set forth in this Section 4.3(c) shall be paid on the Distribution Date occurring after the date of delivery to the Borrower of written demand therefor by the Facility Agent (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail (1) the calculations of the amount being claimed, (2) the basis therefor and (3) the event by reason of which it has become so entitled); provided that such demand is delivered on or prior to the fifth Business Day prior to such Distribution Date and otherwise on the Distribution Date following such Distribution Date; provided, further, that no Person shall be indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.3(c) to the extent the reason for such indemnification relates to, or arises from, the failure by such Person to comply with the provisions of Section 4.3(e) or Section 4.3(f).  If any Lender receives a refund in respect of any amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.3, which refund in the reasonable judgment of such Lender is allocable to such payment, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of such refund and shall promptly pay the amount of such refund to the Borrower, together with all interest received by such Lender on such amount; provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower by such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay or is not entitled to such refund.  
iii.If the Borrower or TPVC shall make a payment directly to the applicable taxing authority rather than to the Affected Person, then, within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or TPVC (or any Person making such payment on behalf of such Persons), the Borrower shall furnish to the Affected Person for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof.
iv.For purposes of this Section 4.3(e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code, as amended (or any successor sections).  Each Affected Person (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) that either (i) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include “Incorporated,” “Inc.,” “Corporation,” “Corp.,” “P.C.,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Non-Exempt Person”) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Borrower, the Paying Agent and the 








Facility Agent the following properly completed and duly executed documents:
1.in the case of a Non-Exempt Person that is not a United States person, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E in which such Affected Person claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or
2.in the case of a Non-Exempt Person that is an individual, (x) for non-United States persons, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I (a “Section 4.3 Certificate”) or (y) for United States persons, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or
3.in the case of a Non-Exempt Person that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and that is not a disregarded entity owned by a person that is not a United States person, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or
4.in the case of a Non-Exempt Person that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 4.3 Certificate; or
5.in the case of a Non-Exempt Person that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 4.3 Certificate, and (y) in the case of a non-withholding foreign partnership or trust, without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, “beneficial owners”), the documents that would be provided by each such beneficial owner pursuant to this Section 4.3(e) if such beneficial owner were an Affected Person; or
6.in the case of a Non-Exempt Person that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vii) and/or this clause (vi) of this 








Section 4.3(e) with respect to its beneficial owner if such beneficial owner were an Affected Person; or
7.in the case of a Non-Exempt Person that (A) is not a United States person and (B) is acting in the capacity of an “intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x)(i) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 4.3 Certificate, and (y) if the intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf the “non-qualified intermediary” is acting the documents that would be required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), and/or this clause (vii) of Section 4.3(e) with respect to each such person if each such person were an Affected Person.
If an Affected Person provides a form pursuant to Section 4.3(e)(i)(x) and the form provided by the Affected Person at the time such Affected Person first becomes a party to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, the effective date thereof, indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate under the tax treaty in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other than “Non-Excluded Taxes” (“Excluded Taxes”) and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until such Affected Person provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form.  If, however, on the date a person becomes an assignee, successor or participant to this Agreement, an Affected Person transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 4.3, then the Affected Person assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent that the Affected Person transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and the Affected Person assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes.
i.If a payment made to an Affected Person under this Agreement or any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Affected Person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Affected Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Facility Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Facility Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Affected Person has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
ii.For any period with respect to which an Affected Person has failed to provide the Borrower or the Facility Agent with the appropriate form, 








certificate or other document described in Section 4.3(e) or (f) (other than if such failure is due to a change in any requirement of law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided), such Affected Person shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under Section 4.3(a) or (c) with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided that should an Affected Person become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Affected Person shall reasonably request, to assist such Affected Person in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.
iii.Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower or TPVC hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower and TPVC contained in this Section 4.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.  Nothing contained in Section 5.1 or this Section 4.3 shall require an Affected Person to complete, execute or make available any of its Tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary, or whose completion, execution or submission would, in such Affected Person’s judgment, materially prejudice such Affected Person’s legal or commercial position.
B.  INCREASED COSTS, ETC.
a.Increased Costs.
  If due to the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation occurring or issued after the date hereof, the Facility Agent, any Lender, any Support Party, or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Official Body (whether or not having the force of law) (i) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity coverage required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital or liquidity coverage is increased by or based upon the existence of its obligations or commitments hereunder or with respect hereto or to the funding thereof or (ii) subjects any Affected Person to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to such Affected Person in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 4.3) and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Affected Person of making Advances or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, upon demand by such Affected Person (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail (1) the calculations of the amount being claimed, (2) the basis therefor and (3) the event by reason of which it has become so entitled), the Borrower agrees to pay to such Affected Person or the Facility Agent, for the account of such Affected Person (as a third‐party beneficiary), on the Distribution Date following the date on which the Affected Person provides notice of such event to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager (provided that such notice is delivered on or prior to the fifth Business Day prior to such Distribution Date and otherwise on the Distribution Date following such Distribution Date), subject to and in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.5, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Person reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of 








any of such obligations, commitments or fundings; provided that if such demand is delivered after the later of (x) 180 days after such additional amounts requested hereunder arose and (y) 30 days after the applicable Affected Person had knowledge of such additional amount, the Borrower shall have no obligation to pay such additional amounts.  Such written statement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the subject matter thereof.  Any Affected Person claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5.1 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different office or branch of such Affected Person as its lending office or take such other actions if the making of such a designation or taking of such other actions would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Person, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Affected Person.
a.Funding Losses.
  The Borrower hereby agrees that upon demand by any Affected Person (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail (1) the calculations of the amount being claimed, (2) the basis therefor and (3) the event by reason of which it has become so entitled) it will indemnify such Affected Person on an after-tax basis against any loss or expense which such Affected Person may sustain or incur, as reasonably determined by such Affected Person, as a result of any voluntary prepayment of any Advance for which two Business Days’ prior written notice was not delivered in accordance with Section 2.4(a)(i) or any mandatory prepayment of any Advance, on the Distribution Date following the date on which the Affected Person provides notice of such event to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager (provided that such notice is delivered on or prior to the third Business Day prior to such Distribution Date and otherwise on the Distribution Date following such Distribution Date); provided that if such demand is delivered after the later of (x) 180 days after such loss or expense requested hereunder was incurred and (y) 30 days after the applicable Affected Person had knowledge of such loss or expense, the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify such Affected Person against such loss or expense.  Such written statement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the subject matter thereof.  The amount to be paid by the Borrower to any Affected Person in order to so indemnify such Affected Person for any loss occasioned by any of the events described in this Section, and as liquidated damages therefor, shall be equal to the excess of (i) the amount of Yield which otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid or prepaid during the period (the “Indemnity Period”) commencing with the date of such payment or prepayment and ending on the next Distribution Date (provided that such payment or prepayment is made on or prior to the third Business Day prior to such Distribution Date and otherwise on the Distribution Date following such Distribution Date), over (ii) the amount of income, if any, received by the applicable Affected Person during the Indemnity Period from the investment by such Affected Person of the principal amount so paid or prepaid.

B.  ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT OF TRANSFERRED CONTRACTS
a.Retention and Termination of the Collateral Manager.
  (a)  The management, administering and collection of the Transferred Contracts shall be conducted by the Person designated as Collateral Manager from time to time in accordance with this Section 7.1(a).  Subject to early termination due to the occurrence of a Collateral Manager Default or as otherwise provided below in this Section 7.1, TPVC is hereby designated, and hereby agrees to serve, as Collateral Manager until the termination of this Agreement.  Any designation of a successor Collateral Manager under this Agreement shall become effective upon such successor Collateral Manager’s agreement to perform the duties and obligations of the Collateral Manager pursuant to the terms hereof and TPVC shall continue to perform the obligations of the Collateral Manager hereunder until such successor Collateral Manager shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Collateral Manager.  The Collateral Manager may, with the prior consent of the Facility Agent, subcontract with any other Person for the mangement, administering or collecting the Transferred Contracts; provided that the Collateral Manager shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations of the Collateral Manager pursuant to the terms hereof.  
i.At least 30 days prior to the delivery of a notice of termination of the Collateral Manager, the Facility Agent shall notify the Backup Collateral Manager in writing to perform a data mapping (at the cost of the Borrower, to which the Capped Fees/Expenses – Backup Collateral Manager shall not apply) with respect to the management systems utilized 








by the Collateral Manager.  Upon the termination or resignation of the Collateral Manager, the Backup Collateral Manager shall, upon the receipt of notice of such resignation or termination, within 30 days commence collateral management activities in place of TPVC and shall, subject to the provisions of Section 11.1, for the purposes of this Agreement, become Collateral Manager.  Until such time as the Facility Agent notifies TPVC that the Backup Collateral Manager has commenced collateral management activities in the place of TPVC, TPVC shall continue to perform the obligations of the Collateral Manager hereunder.  Upon the Backup Collateral Manager’s assumption of the obligations of Collateral Manager pursuant to this Agreement, the Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Backup Collateral Manager all documents and instruments and monies held by it under this Agreement, and the Collateral Manager and the Facility Agent shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Backup Collateral Manager all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the resignation or termination of the Collateral Manager shall not become effective until the Backup Collateral Manager or an entity acceptable to the Required Lenders shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Collateral Manager.
ii.Neither the Collateral Manager nor the Backup Collateral Manager shall resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement as Collateral Manager or Backup Collateral Manager, as the case may be, except upon a determination that by reason of a change in legal requirements, the performance of its duties hereunder would cause it to be in violation of such legal requirements in a manner which would have a material adverse effect on the Collateral Manager or Backup Collateral Manager, as the case may be, and the Facility Agent does not elect to waive the obligations of the Collateral Manager to perform the duties which render it legally unable to act or to delegate those duties to another Person.  Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Collateral Manager or Backup Collateral Manager, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 7.1(c) shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered and acceptable to the Facility Agent.  No resignation shall become effective until a successor entity acceptable to the Facility Agent shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of such Person in accordance with this Agreement.  The parties hereto agree that such cessation of operation by the Collateral Manager or the Backup Collateral Manager, as the case may be, shall be a breach of covenant under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein regarding the prohibition against the Collateral Manager or Backup Collateral Manager’s resignation, as the case may be, the sole remedy for such action shall be that the Facility Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Manager or Backup Collateral Manager, respectively.  Neither the Collateral Manager nor the Backup Collateral Manager shall have liability to any party for any such resignation.  The parties hereto 








agree to treat any such Backup Collateral Manager resignation as confidential information hereunder in accordance with Section 18.14.

iv.In the event the Backup Collateral Manager assumes the obligations of the Collateral Manager pursuant to this Section 7.1, the Backup Collateral Manager shall also thereupon so assume all of the rights and obligations of the outgoing Collateral Manager under the Lockbox Agreements.  In such event, the Backup Collateral Manager shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Collateral Manager’s interest therein and to have replaced the Collateral Manager as a party to each Lockbox Agreement to the same extent as if such Lockbox Agreement had been assigned to the Backup Collateral Manager, except that the Collateral Manager shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations to the Lockbox Bank under such Lockbox Agreement.  The Collateral Manager shall, upon request of the Facility Agent, but at the expense of the Collateral Manager, deliver to the Backup Collateral Manager all documents and records relating to the Lockbox Agreements and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the Lockbox Banks and the Collection Account Bank and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Lockbox Agreements to the Backup Collateral Manager.
v.If the Backup Collateral Manager assumes the role of successor Collateral Manager, it shall be reimbursed by the Borrower for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the liquidation of any Transferred Contracts which have been approved in writing by the Facility Agent.
vi.If the Backup Collateral Manager assumes the role of successor Collateral Manager, the Backup Collateral Manager shall, by the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following the later of (i) the day of such assumption of duties and (ii) the day on which TPVC provides the Backup Collateral Manager with a list of all licenses TPVC then has (and TPVC shall promptly provide the Backup Collateral Manager a list of all licenses TPVC then has), determine which licenses, approvals and consents were necessary or required to be obtained by TPVC in connection with the 








performance of its obligations as Collateral Manager and as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter obtain all licenses, approvals and consents necessary or required to be obtained in connection with the performance by the Backup Collateral Manager of its obligations as successor Collateral Manager hereunder, except where the failure to so obtain such licenses, approvals or consents is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Backup Collateral Manager’s ability to perform its obligations as successor Collateral Manager hereunder.

If notwithstanding the foregoing the Collateral Manager at any time thereafter receives any Collections with respect to any Contract Payment 








or any other proceeds of any Contracts, the Collateral Manager shall direct or cause to be directed, the related Obligor to make such payments to the Lockbox Account (which may be made through the Funds-Transfer system) and shall promptly, and in any event no later than the first Business Day after receipt thereof, deposit or cause to be deposited all such amounts into the Collection Account or the Security Deposit Collection Account, as the case may be.

The Equityholder shall make a contemporaneous deposit to the Collection Account of the related Repurchase Amount, as contemplated by Section 6.1 of the Sale Agreement.
a.Substitution of Contracts Pursuant to Technology Exchange Option.

  (a)  On or prior to the Effective Date, the Collateral Manager shall establish the Collection Account, the Warrant Reserve Account and the Security Deposit Collection Account, each in the name of the Borrower (subject to a control agreement in favor of the Facility Agent for the benefit of itself and the Secured Parties).  The Collection Account, the Warrant Reserve Account and the Security Deposit Collection Account shall each be an Eligible Account which is a segregated non-interest bearing trust account initially established with the Collection Account Bank pursuant and subject to the Account Agreement.  If at any time the Collection Account, the Warrant Reserve Account or the Security Deposit Collection Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Facility Agent (with notice to the Collateral Manager) shall transfer such account to another institution such that such account shall meet the requirements of an Eligible Account.  The Collection Account, the Warrant Reserve Account and the Security Deposit Collection Account are listed on Schedule 8.1.
i.[Reserved].
ii.All amounts held in the Collection Account, the Warrant Reserve Account, the Lockbox Accounts and the Security Deposit Collection Account (collectively, the “Borrower Accounts”), shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, be invested by the Collection Account Bank (or, with respect to the Lockbox Accounts, the Lockbox Bank), as directed by the Collateral Manager in writing (or, if the Collateral Manager fails to provide such direction, such amounts shall be invested in investments described in clause (f) of the definition of Permitted Investments), in Permitted Investments that mature not later than one Business Day prior to the Distribution Date for the Collection Period to which such amounts relate.  Any such written direction shall certify that any such investment is authorized by this Section 8.1.  Investments in Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Facility Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, and, except as specifically required below, such investments shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity.  The taxpayer identification number associated with each Borrower Account shall be that of the Borrower and the Borrower shall report for federal, state and local income tax purposes, the income, if any, represented by each Borrower Account.  If any amounts are needed for disbursement from the Collection Account and sufficient uninvested funds are not available therein to make such disbursement, the Facility Agent shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in such account to make such disbursement in accordance with and upon the direction of the Collateral Manager or, if the Collateral Manager shall fail to give such direction, the Facility Agent.  The Collection Account Bank shall have no obligation to invest and reinvest any cash held in the Collection Account, the Warrant Reserve Account or the Security Deposit Collection Account or any other moneys held by the Collection Account Bank pursuant to this Agreement in the absence of timely and specific written investment direction pursuant to this Section 8.1(c).  In no event shall the Collection Account Bank be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The 








Collection Account Bank shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Collateral Manager or the Facility Agent, as applicable, to provide timely written investment direction.  In the event that the Collection Account Bank receives conflicting investment direction from the Collateral Manager and the Facility Agent, it shall act in accordance with the direction of the Facility Agent. In performance of its obligations hereunder, the Collection Account Bank shall be entitled to all of the same rights, protections and immunities as the Paying Agent.
iii.Neither the Borrower nor the Collateral Manager shall have any rights of direction or withdrawal, with respect to amounts held in the Collection Account, except to the extent explicitly set forth in this Agreement.
Subject to the other provisions hereof, the Facility Agent 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 Facility Agent or its agent, together with each document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Facility Agent in a manner that complies with this Section 8.1.  All interest, dividends, gains upon sale and other income from, or earnings on, investments of funds in the Borrower Accounts shall be deposited in the Collection Account and distributed pursuant to Section 8.5.  If the Facility Agent is given instructions to invest funds in any of the Borrower Accounts in investments other than investments of the type described in clause (f) of the definition of “Permitted Investments”, the Person giving such instructions agrees to assist the Facility Agent in complying with the requirements herein with respect to such investments.
a.Collateral Manager Reimbursements.
  The Collateral Manager shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in, or to be deposited in, the Collection Account with respect to a Collection Period for amounts previously deposited in the Collection Account but later determined by the Collateral Manager to have resulted from mistaken deposits or postings or checks returned for insufficient funds.  The amount to be reimbursed hereunder shall be paid to the Collateral Manager on the related Distribution Date pursuant to Section 8.5(a)(ii) or Section 8.5(a)(xiv), as applicable.  Upon the request of the Facility Agent or any Lender, the Collateral Manager shall certify any amount to be reimbursed hereunder and shall supply such other information as may be necessary in the opinion of the Facility Agent to verify the accuracy of such certification.  The Facility Agent shall not be under any obligation to make the request described in the immediately preceding sentence.

  It is solvent and will not become insolvent after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

  For federal income tax purposes, the Borrower or the Equityholder will be treated as the owner of the Transferred Contracts and the Related Security, the Borrower or the Equityholder will be treated as the borrower under this Agreement, and the Advances made under this Agreement will be treated as the Indebtedness of the Borrower or the Equityholder.  For legal purposes, the Equityholder and the Borrower will treat the purchase or absolute assignment of the Transferred Contracts and the Related Security pursuant to the Sale Agreement as a sale and absolute assignment of the Equityholder’s full right, title and ownership interest in such Transferred Contracts and the Related Security.

No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect naming or purportedly naming the Borrower or 








any of its Affiliates as debtor and covering all or any part of the Borrower Collateral is on file in any recording office, except such as will be released on the Effective Date or as may have been filed in favor of the Facility Agent as “Secured Party” pursuant hereto or as necessary or advisable to effect the sales contemplated by the Sale Agreement.

  (a)                  The Borrower does not sponsor, maintain, or contribute to, and has never sponsored, maintained, or contributed to, and, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, asset, property, business condition (financial or other), funding arrangements or prospects, no ERISA Affiliate sponsors, maintains, contributes to, or has any liability in respect of, or has ever sponsored, maintained, contributed to, or had any liability in respect of, a Plan.

  Neither Borrower nor TPVC is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (as defined in Regulation U (12 C.F.R. Part 221) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and none of the proceeds of the Advances will be used, directly or indirectly, for a purpose that violates Regulation T, Regulation U, Regulation X or any other regulation promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from time to time.  The Borrower will not request any Advance, and shall not use the proceeds of any Advance (i) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or 








authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (ii) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person or in any Sanctioned Country to the extent such activity would be prohibited by Sanctions or (iii) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to the Borrower.
a.Separate Existence.
  The Borrower is operated as an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of TPVC and any other Affiliates of the Borrower or TPVC, and the Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Facility Agent and each of the Lenders are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in reliance upon the Borrower’s identity as a separate legal entity from TPC, the Equityholder and each such Affiliate.  Since its formation, the Borrower has been (and will be) operated in such a manner as to comply with the covenants set forth in Section 10.5.
There is not now, nor will there be at any time in the future, any agreement or understanding between TPVC and/or the Borrower (other than as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agreement and the other Transaction Documents) providing for the allocation or sharing of obligations to make payments or otherwise in respect of any taxes, fees, assessments or other governmental charges.
a.Investments.

a.Transaction Documents.
  The Sale Agreement is the only agreement pursuant to which the Borrower purchases and receives contributions of Contracts.

None of the Borrower, the Equityholder, nor any Affiliate party thereto is in default of any of its obligations thereunder in any material respect.  Upon the purchase and/or contribution of each Contract (or an interest in a Contract) pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the Borrower shall be the lawful owner of, and have good title to, such Contract and all assets relating thereto, free and clear of any Adverse Claim.  All such assets are transferred to the Borrower without recourse to the Equityholder except as described in the Sale Agreement.  The purchases of such assets by the Borrower constitute valid and true sales for consideration (and not merely a pledge of such assets for security purposes) and the contributions of such asset received by the Borrower constitute valid and true transfers for consideration, each enforceable against creditors of the Equityholder, and no such assets shall constitute property of the Equityholder.
a.Ownership of the Borrower.
  One hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding equity interests of the Borrower is and will be directly owned (both beneficially and of record) by the Equityholder.  All such equity interests are and will be validly issued, and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares or other equity rights in the Borrower.

From time to time thereafter, the Borrower shall file such financing statements and cause to be filed such continuation statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Facility Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under this Agreement in the Borrower Collateral and in the proceeds thereof.  The Borrower shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Facility Agent file‐stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing.

i.Other than in connection with the name change of the Borrower to TPVC Funding Company LLC, expected to occur no later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, the Borrower shall not change its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Borrower (or by the Facility Agent on behalf of the Borrower) in accordance with clause (a) above seriously misleading or change its jurisdiction of organization, unless the Borrower shall have given the Facility Agent at least 30 days prior written notice thereof, and shall promptly file appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements and continuation statements (and shall provide copy of such amendments to the Facility Agent together with an Officers Certificate to the effect that all appropriate 








amendments or other documents in respect of previously filed statements have been filed).
ii.The Borrower shall maintain its computer systems, if any, so that, from and after the time of the first Advance under this Agreement, the Borrower’s master computer records (including archives) that shall refer to the Borrower Collateral indicate clearly that such Borrower Collateral is subject to first priority security interest in favor of the Facility Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

iii.Without limiting any of the other provisions hereof, if at any time the Borrower shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in loan or lease receivables to any prospective lender or other transferee, the Borrower shall give to such prospective lender or other transferee computer tapes, records, or print‐outs (including any restored from archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Borrower Collateral shall indicate clearly that such Borrower Collateral is subject to a first priority security interest in favor of the Facility Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

The Borrower agrees that payments to the Borrower under each Hedging Agreement shall be deposited into the Collection Account.
i.In the event that any Hedge Counterparty defaults in its obligation to make a payment to the Borrower under one or more Hedging Agreements on any date on which payments are due pursuant to a Hedging Agreement, the Borrower shall make a demand on such Hedge Counterparty, or any guarantor, if applicable, demanding payment by 12:30 p.m., New York City time, on such date.  The Borrower shall give notice to the Lenders upon the continuing failure by any Hedge Counterparty to perform its obligations during the two Business Days following a demand made by the Borrower on such Hedge Counterparty, and shall take such action with respect to such continuing failure as may be directed by the Required Lenders.
ii.In the event that any Hedge Counterparty no longer maintains the ratings specified in the definition of “Hedge Counterparty,” then within 30 days after receiving notice of such decline in the creditworthiness of such Hedge Counterparty as determined by any Rating Agency, either (x) such Hedge Counterparty, upon the receipt of the consent of the Required Lenders, will enter into an arrangement the purpose of which shall be to assure performance by the Hedge Counterparty of its obligations under the applicable Hedging Agreement; or (y) the Borrower shall at its option either (i) upon the receipt of the consent of the Required Lenders, cause such Hedge Counterparty to pledge securities in the manner provided by Applicable Law which shall be held by the Facility Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, free and clear of the Lien of any third party, in a manner conferring on the Facility Agent a perfected first Lien in such securities securing such Hedge Counterparty’s performance of its obligations under the applicable Hedging Agreement, (ii) provided that a Replacement Hedging Agreement or Qualified Substitute Arrangement meeting the requirements of Section 10.6(d) has been obtained, (A) provide written notice to such Hedge Counterparty (with a copy to the Facility Agent) of its intention to terminate the applicable Hedging Agreement within such 30‐day period and (B) terminate the applicable Hedging Agreement within such 30‐day period, request the payment to it of all amounts due to the Borrower under the applicable Hedging Agreement through the termination date and deposit any such amounts so received, on the day of receipt, to the Collection Account, or (iii) establish any other arrangement (including an arrangement or arrangements in addition to or in substitution for any prior arrangement made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.6(c)) which satisfies the

4.With respect to any documents comprising the Contract File which have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to the Borrower or the Collateral Manager in time to permit their delivery hereunder at the time required, in lieu of delivering such original documents, the Borrower or the Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Custodian a true copy thereof with a certification executed by an Executive Officer of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, certifying that such copy is a true, correct and complete copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recordation.  The Borrower or the 








Collateral Manager shall deliver such original documents to the Custodian promptly when they are received.
5.Each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager agrees to take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Custodian or the Facility Agent to facilitate the delivery to the Custodian or the Facility Agent, as applicable, of all documents (including, without limitation, Contract Files) and other items required to be delivered to the Custodian or the Facility Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The Collateral Manager shall hold (in accordance with Section 9-313(c) of the UCC) all other documents comprising the Contract Files as agent of the Custodian.
b.Contract File Certification.
  (a) On or prior to each Advance Date, with respect to the Contract Files delivered on or prior to such Advance Date, and thereafter when additional Contract Files will be delivered to the Custodian from time to time, within three (3) Business Days after delivery of any such Contract File (or within ten (10) Business Days, if Contract Files with respect to more than twenty-five (25) Contracts are delivered to the Custodian on the same Business Day), the Custodian shall deliver via facsimile or other electronic transmission to the Facility Agent and the Collateral Manager a certification (each such certification, a “Certification”), in the form of Exhibit E, in respect of each of the Contracts, to the effect that, as to each Contract File related to a Contract listed on the Schedule of Contracts, as amended or supplemented, based on the Custodian’s examination of the Contract Files for such Contracts, except for variances from the requirements of Section 12.1 with respect to the Contract Files (“Exceptions”) noted in a report attached to the Certification (the “Exception Report”), (i) all documents required to be delivered in respect of such Contracts pursuant to Section 12.1 have been delivered and are in the possession of the Custodian as part of the Contract Files for such Contracts (other than those released pursuant to Section 12.4), (ii) all such documents have been reviewed by the Custodian and appear on their face to be regular and to relate to such Contracts, (iii) to the extent original signatures are required pursuant to Exhibit E hereto, all signatures on such Contract Files appear to be original signatures, unless otherwise noted on Exhibit J, (iv) such Contract Files have not been mutilated, damaged, torn or otherwise physically altered (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall constitute physical alteration), (v) based solely on the Custodian’s examination of the Schedule of Contracts, as amended and supplemented, the information set forth therein is  the same as the information set forth in the related Contract Files with respect to, to the extent applicable, name of account debtor (obligor), transaction type, date of transaction, commitment amount and original principal amount of obligation, interest rate, and term, and (vi) the Custodian is holding such Contract File for the Facility Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that if any such statements are, in part or in whole, not true and correct, the Custodian shall detail in such Certification any Exceptions.  The Custodian shall also maintain records of the total number of Contract Files that are listed on the Schedule of Contracts but have not been received by the Custodian, and will provide such number of missing Contract Files in the Exception Report.
i.The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Custodian, the Collateral Manager and the Borrower, in writing, that either (i) the Exceptions noted in any Exception Report are waived or (ii) the Borrower or the Collateral Manager must cure certain specified Exceptions or all of the Exceptions noted in such Exception Report within thirty (30) days after the date of 








such notification (it being understood by the parties hereto that the Contract related to any Contract Files as to which an unwaived or uncured Exception exists may not be deemed an Eligible Contract under this Agreement).
ii.On a daily basis, and, in any event, on the fifth (5th) Business Day of every calendar month, the Custodian shall deliver to the Facility Agent, each Agent the Collateral Manager, and the Borrower, a report setting forth holdings of Contract Files and an Exception Report.
iii.Notwithstanding any language to the contrary herein, the Custodian shall make no representations as to, and shall not be responsible to verify, (i) the validity, legality, ownership, title, perfection, priority, enforceability, due authorization, recordability, sufficiency for any purpose, or genuineness of any of the documents contained in each Contract File or (ii) the collectibility, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any such Contract.    The Custodian shall have no obligation to monitor any cure periods for the Collateral Manager or Borrower or to correct any Exceptions.  The parties to this Agreement hereby agree that the sole purpose of the Custodian’s review of Contract Files for a Contract pursuant to this Section 12.2 is to confirm receipt of certain Contract Files by confirming certain information contained in the Contract Files as set forth herein. The Custodian’s review of the Contract Files and its certification with respect thereto shall not be deemed to constitute “due diligence services” or a “third party due diligence report” as such terms are defined in Rules 17g-10 and 15Ga-2, respectively, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any recipient of the Custodian’s Certification or Exception Report or a copy thereof by its receipt thereof is deemed to agree, and each party to this Agreement hereby agrees, that it shall not share such report, directly or indirectly, with any rating agency or any party not addressed on such report.
iv.During the term of this Agreement, after the issuance of an initial Exception Report attached to a Certification issued by the Custodian in accordance with Section 12.2(a), the Custodian shall provide the Collateral Manager and the Facility Agent with an updated Exception Report within two (2) Business Days after the receipt by the Custodian of a written request therefor.
c.Obligations of the Custodian.
  (a)  The Custodian shall segregate and maintain continuous custody of all Contract Files and other items related thereto delivered to the Custodian in accordance with the terms hereof in secure fire-resistant facilities in accordance with customary standards for such custody and shall reflect in its records the security interest of the Secured Parties therein.  Each Contract File which comes into the possession of the Custodian (other than documents delivered electronically) shall be maintained in secure and fire-resistant facilities  at the office of the Custodian located in California or at such other offices as shall be specified to the Facility Agent and the Collateral Manager in a written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to such change.  Each Contract File delivered to it shall be marked with an appropriate identifying label by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager on its behalf and maintained in such manner so as to permit retrieval and access by the Custodian and the Facility Agent.  The Custodian shall keep the Contract Files 








segregated from any other documents or instruments in its files in accordance with customary standards for custody of similar documents.
i.With respect to the Contract Files delivered to the Custodian in accordance with the terms hereof, the Custodian shall (i)  act exclusively as the bailee for hire and agent of, and the Custodian for, the Facility Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties (ii) hold all Contract Files received by it for the exclusive use and benefit of the Facility Agent and the Secured Parties and (iii) make disposition thereof only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or with written instructions furnished by the Facility Agent; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the written instructions of the Facility Agent, the Facility Agent’s written instructions shall control.
ii.Prior to the release of the security interest of the Facility Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and the termination of this Agreement, the Custodian shall accept only written instructions of a Responsible Officer of the Facility Agent concerning the use, handling and disposition of the Contract Files.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Responsible Officer” shall mean the president, any vice president or assistant vice president of the Facility Agent, or any other officer or employee having similar functions.
iii.In the event that (i) the Borrower, the Facility Agent, the Collateral Manager or the Custodian shall be served by a third party with any type of levy, attachment, writ or court order with respect to any Contract File or a document included within a Contract File or (ii) a third party shall institute any court proceeding by which any Contract File or any document included within a Contract File shall be required to be delivered otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the party receiving such service shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the other parties to this Agreement copies of all court papers, orders, documents and other materials concerning such proceedings.  The Custodian shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to hold and maintain all Contract Files that are the subject of such proceedings pending a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction permitting or directing disposition thereof.  Upon final determination of such court, the Custodian shall dispose of such Contract File or a document included within such Contract File as directed by the Facility Agent, which shall give a direction consistent with such determination by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Expenses of the Custodian incurred as a result of such proceedings shall be borne by the Borrower.
iv.In the event that the Custodian’s obligations under this Agreement are not clearly and expressly covered by the terms of this Agreement, the Custodian shall be entitled to (i) request additional instructions from the Facility Agent and (ii) refrain from taking any action unless and until the Custodian has received such instructions from the Facility Agent.  If the Custodian shall at any time receive conflicting instructions from any of the parties hereto with respect to the performance of its responsibilities under this Agreement, and such conflicting instructions cannot be resolved by 








reference to the terms of this Agreement, the Custodian shall be entitled to rely solely on the instructions of the Facility Agent.
v.[Reserved].
vi.The Facility Agent may direct the Custodian in writing to take any such incidental action hereunder; provided that with respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Custodian hereunder, the Custodian shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Facility Agent; provided, further, that in each case, the Custodian shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Facility Agent, any Secured Parties or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Custodian, (x) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Custodian to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received indemnity which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto).  In the event the Custodian requests the consent of the Facility Agent and the Custodian does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Facility Agent within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such request, then the Facility Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.
vii.The Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Custodian, or the Facility Agent.  The Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including a Facility Termination Event, an Unmatured Facility Termination Event, Collateral Manager Default or Unmatured Collateral Manager Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Custodian has actual knowledge of such matter or written notice thereof is received by the Custodian.
d.Release of Contract Files.
  (a)  The Custodian shall release any Contract Files to the Facility Agent upon receipt of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 from the Facility Agent, or, to the extent specified in a Request for Release by the Collateral Manager (which Request for Release must have been consented to, in writing, by the Facility Agent, which consent shall be evidenced by an executed counterpart to such request) in connection with a release of a Contract pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, to the Collateral Manager, or its designee.  In the event that the Facility Agent has notified the Custodian that an Unmatured Event of Default, an Event of Default, an Unmatured Collateral Manager Default or a Collateral Manager Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Manager shall not make any such request unless the Facility Agent shall have consented in writing thereto (which consent may be evidenced by an executed counterpart to such request). Upon receipt of any such Request for Release from the Facility Agent or the Collateral Manager (which Request for Release must have been consented to, in writing, by the Facility Agent, which consent shall be evidenced by an executed counterpart to such request), the Custodian shall within three (3) days release such Contract Files to the Person designated in such request.








i.From time to time and as appropriate for the management or foreclosure of any of the Contracts, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy relating to the Contracts, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release and Receipt substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 from the Collateral Manager, release the related Contract Files or the documents set forth in such Request for Release and Receipt to the Collateral Manager (which Request for Release and Receipt must have been acknowledged and signed by the Facility Agent).  In the event that the Facility Agent has notified the Custodian that an Unmatured Facility Termination Event, a Facility Termination Event, an Unmatured Collateral Manager Default or a Collateral Manager Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Manager shall not make any such request unless the Facility Agent shall have consented in writing thereto (which consent may be evidenced by an executed counterpart to such request). Such Request for Release and Receipt shall obligate the Collateral Manager to return each and every Contract File released pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (b), to the Custodian, when (i) the need therefor by the Collateral Manager no longer exists or (ii) any Unmatured Facility Termination Event, Facility Termination Event, Unmatured Collateral Manager Default or Collateral Manager Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement.  At such time as the Collateral Manager returns any such Contract File to the Custodian, the Collateral Manager shall provide written notice of such return to the Facility Agent and the Custodian in the form of Exhibit F-3.  The Custodian shall acknowledge receipt of the returned Contract File(s) by reflecting the possession of such Contract File(s) on the Custodian’s next periodic report delivered in accordance with Section 12.2(c).  Upon receipt by the Custodian of a certificate from the Collateral Manager (which certificate must have been acknowledged and signed by the Facility Agent) substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto, stating that the Contract related to such Contract File(s) was liquidated and that all amounts that are required by the terms of this Agreement to be deposited in the Collection Account with respect to the liquidation of such Contract, have been so deposited to the Collection Account, the Custodian shall, within three (3) Business Days after its receipt of such certificate, update its inventory system to reflect the liquidation of such Contract, and the Collateral Manager will not be required to return such Contract Files to the Custodian.
ii.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Collateral Manager shall not, without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent, be entitled to request any documents held by the Custodian if the sum of the unpaid Principal Balances of all Contracts for which the Collateral Manager is then in possession of the related Contract File or any document comprising such Contract File (other than for Contracts then held by the Collateral Manager which have been repurchased, paid off or liquidated in accordance with this Agreement) (including the documents to be requested) exceeds 5% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Contracts then owned by the Borrower. The Collateral Manager may hold, and hereby acknowledges that it shall hold, any documents 








(including, without limitation, Contract Files) and all other property included in the Borrower Collateral that it may from time to time receive hereunder, as the Custodian for the Facility Agent, solely at the will of the Custodian and the Facility Agent for the sole purpose of facilitating the management of the Contracts, and such retention and possession by the Collateral Manager shall be in a custodial capacity only, for the benefit of the Facility Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties.  To the extent the Collateral Manager, as agent of the Facility Agent and the Borrower, holds any Borrower Collateral, the Collateral Manager shall do so in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy as such standard applies to servicers acting as custodial agent.  The Collateral Manager shall promptly report to the Custodian and the Facility Agent the loss by the Collateral Manager of all or part of any Contract Files previously provided to it by the Custodian and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such loss.  In such custodial capacity, the Collateral Manager shall have and perform the following powers and duties:
1.(A) hold the Contract Files and any document comprising a Contract File that it may from time to time receive hereunder from the Facility Agent or the Custodian, as agent for the Facility Agent, for the benefit of the Facility Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, (B) maintain accurate records pertaining to each Contract to enable it to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (C) maintain a current inventory thereof;
2.implement and ensure compliance with policies and procedures consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy and requirements of this Agreement so that the integrity and physical possession of such Contract Files will be maintained in accordance with the terms hereof; and
3.take all other actions, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, in connection with maintaining custody of such Contract for the benefit, and on behalf, of the Facility Agent.
Acting as the Custodian of the Contract Files pursuant to this Section 12.4, the Collateral Manager agrees that it does not and will not have or assert any beneficial ownership interest in the Contracts or the Contract Files.
a.Removal or Resignation of the Custodian.
  (a)  The Custodian may at any time resign and terminate its obligations under this Agreement upon at least 60 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Manager, the Borrower and the Facility Agent; provided, however, that no resignation or removal of the Custodian will be permitted unless a successor Custodian has been appointed, which successor Custodian, so long as no Unmatured Collateral Manager Default, Collateral Manager Default, Unmatured Facility Termination Event or Facility Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Manager.  Promptly after receipt of notice of the Custodian’s resignation, the Facility Agent shall either take custody of the Contract Files itself or promptly appoint a successor Custodian (which successor Custodian is reasonably acceptable to the Majority Lenders) by written instrument, in duplicate, copies of which instrument shall be delivered to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the resigning Custodian, and to the successor Custodian.  








i.The Facility Agent, upon at least 10 days’ prior written notice to the Custodian, may, with or without cause, remove and discharge the Custodian or any successor Custodian thereafter appointed from the performance of its duties under this Agreement.  Promptly after giving notice of removal of such Custodian, the Facility Agent shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Custodian (which successor Custodian is reasonably acceptable to the Majority Lenders).  Any such appointment shall be accomplished by written instrument and one original counterpart of such instrument of appointment shall be delivered to the Custodian and the successor Custodian, with a copy delivered to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager.
ii.In the event of any resignation or removal of the Custodian hereunder, the Custodian shall (i) promptly transfer to the successor Custodian, as directed in writing by the Facility Agent, all of the Contract Files being administered by the Custodian under this Agreement, and (ii) cooperate in such other actions as are reasonably necessary to transfer its custodial duties set forth herein, as directed in writing by the Facility Agent. The cost of the shipment of Contract Files arising out of the resignation of the Custodian (other than if Custodian’s resignation is due in part to the non-payment of its fees and expenses hereunder) pursuant to Section 12.5(a), or the termination for cause of the Custodian pursuant to Section 12.5(b), shall be at the expense of the Custodian. Any cost of shipment arising out of the removal or discharge of the Custodian without cause pursuant to Section 12.5(b) shall be at the expense of the Borrower.
b.Examination of Contract Files.
  Upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Custodian, the Facility Agent, the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and their respective agents, accountants, attorneys and auditors will be permitted during normal business hours to examine and make copies of the Contract Files, documents, records and other papers in the possession of or under the control of the Custodian relating to any or all of the Contracts.  Prior to the occurrence of an Unmatured Facility Termination Event, a Facility Termination Event, an Unmatured Collateral Manager Default or a Collateral Manager Default, upon the request of the Facility Agent and at the cost and expense of the Collateral Manager, the Custodian shall promptly provide the Facility Agent with the Contract Files or copies, as designated by the Facility Agent, subject to a maximum of $50,000 per annum of such costs and expenses in the aggregate, and any additional costs and expenses in excess of $50,000 per annum shall be for the account of the Facility Agent.  During the existence of an Unmatured Facility Termination Event, a Facility Termination Event, an Unmatured Collateral Manager Default or a Collateral Manager Default, the Collateral Manager shall be required to bear the cost and expense of all such examinations.
a.Insurance of the Custodian.
  At its own expense, the Custodian shall maintain at all times during the existence of this Agreement and keep in full force and effect, fidelity insurance, theft of documents insurance, forgery insurance and errors and omissions insurance.  All such insurance shall be in amounts, with standard coverage and subject to deductibles, all as is customary for insurance typically maintained by banks which act as the Custodian of collateral substantially similar to the Contracts.  Upon request, the Facility Agent and the Borrower shall be entitled to receive from the Custodian a certification executed by a Responsible Officer of the Custodian stating the amount of insurance maintained by the Custodian in accordance with the terms hereof, the name 








of the insurer providing such insurance, and a statement that such insurance is in full force and effect.
a.Representations and Warranties.
  The Custodian represents and warrants to the Borrower, the Facility Agent, the Lenders and the Collateral Manager that:
i.The Custodian is a New York banking corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York;
ii.The Custodian has the corporate power and authority and the legal rights to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this Agreement, and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement;
iii.No consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act by or in respect of, any arbitrator or governmental authority and no consent of any other Person (including any stockholder or creditor of the Custodian) is required in connection with the execution, delivery performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, or if such consent or approval is required, it has been obtained; and
iv.This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Custodian and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Custodian enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (whether enforcement is sought in proceedings in equity or at law).
b.Statements.
  Promptly upon the request of the Facility Agent or the Collateral Manager, the Custodian shall provide the Facility Agent and the Collateral Manager with a list of all the Contracts for which the Custodian holds a Contract File pursuant to this Agreement.  Such list may be in the form of a copy of the Schedule of Contracts with manual deletions to specifically denote any Contracts added, paid off, liquidated, released or redelivered since the date of this Agreement.
a.No Adverse Interest of the Custodian.
  By execution of this Agreement, the Custodian represents and warrants that it currently holds, and during the existence of this Agreement shall hold, no adverse interest, by way of security or otherwise, in any Contract or any Contract File.  Neither the Contracts nor any documents in the Contract Files shall be subject to any security interest, lien or right of set-off by the Custodian or any third party claiming through the Custodian, and the Custodian shall not pledge, encumber, hypothecate, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise grant any third party interest in, the Contracts or documents in the Contract Files, except that the preceding clause shall not apply to the Custodian with respect to (i) the Custodian Fees and Expenses, and (ii) in the case of any accounts, with respect to (x) returned or charged-back items, (y) reversals or cancellations of payment orders and other electronic fund transfers, or (z) overdrafts in the Collection Account.
a.Lost Note Affidavit.
  In the event that the Custodian fails to produce any Contract File or any other document related to a Contract that was in its possession pursuant to Section 12.2 within five (5) Business Days after required or requested by the Facility Agent (a “Custodial Delivery Failure”) and provided that (a) the Custodian previously delivered to the Facility Agent a Certification with respect to such Contract File or document, as applicable, and (b) such Contract File or document, 








as applicable, is not outstanding pursuant to a Request for Release and Receipt, then the Custodian shall with respect to any missing promissory note, promptly deliver to the Facility Agent upon request a lost note affidavit.
a.Reliance of the Custodian.
  In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Custodian, the Custodian may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any request, notice, instruction, certificate, opinion or other document furnished to the Custodian (including via electronic transmission), reasonably believed by the Custodian to be genuine and to have been signed, presented delivered or sent by the proper party or parties and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; but in the case of any document comprising a Contract File or other request, notice, instruction, document or certificate which by any provision hereof is specifically required to be furnished to the Custodian, the Custodian shall be under a duty to examine the same in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that in no event shall the Custodian have any liability for any losses or damage to any Person arising out of actions of the Custodian consistent with the instructions whether in writing or verbal provided by the Facility Agent.
a.Term of Custody.
  Promptly after written notice from the Facility Agent that (i) the security interest of the Facility Agent has been released, and (ii) this Agreement has terminated, the Custodian shall deliver all documents remaining in the Contract Files to the Collateral Manager or as directed by the Collateral Manager.
a.Tax Reports.
  The Custodian shall not be responsible for the preparation or filing of any reports or returns relating to federal, state or local income taxes with respect to this Agreement, other than in respect of the Custodian’s compensation or for reimbursement of expenses.
a.Transmission of Contract Files.
  Written instructions as to the method of shipment and shipper(s) the Custodian is directed to utilize in connection with the transmission of Contract Files in the performance of the Custodian’s duties hereunder shall be delivered by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the Facility Agent to the Custodian prior to any shipment of any Contract Files hereunder.  In the event the Custodian does not receive such written instruction from the Facility Agent or the Collateral Manager (as applicable), the Custodian shall be authorized and indemnified as provided herein to utilize a nationally recognized courier service.  The Collateral Manager shall arrange for the provision of such services at its sole cost and expense (or, at the Custodian’s option, reimburse the Custodian for all costs and expenses incurred by the Custodian consistent with such instructions) and shall maintain such insurance against loss or damage to the Contract Files as the Collateral Manager deems appropriate.
a.Further Rights of the Custodian.
  (a)  The obligations of the Custodian shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement against the Custodian.  No representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Custodian shall be implied with respect to this Agreement or the Custodian’s services hereunder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing statement, except as specifically required herein, the Custodian shall be under no obligation to inspect, review or examine the Contract Files to determine that the contents thereof are complete, genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purposes or that they have been actually recorded or filed in the required office or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.  The Custodian may consult with counsel satisfactory to it and any opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization 








and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of such counsel.
i.The Custodian shall incur no liability nor be responsible to the Borrower or any other Person for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control that significantly and adversely affect the Custodian’s ability to perform with respect to this Agreement.  Such acts shall include, but not be limited to, acts of God, strikes, work stoppages, acts of terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility.
ii.No provision of this Agreement shall require the Custodian to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.
iii.The Custodian shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except in the case of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.

vii.The Custodian may rely upon the validity of documents delivered to it, without investigation as to their authenticity or legal effectiveness, and the Borrower will hold the Custodian harmless from any claims that may arise or be asserted against the Custodian because of the invalidity of any such documents or their failure to fulfill their intended purpose.  
viii.The Custodian shall not be responsible to the Facility Agent or any other party for recitals, statements or warranties or representations of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager contained herein or in any document, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement on the part of any party, except as may otherwise be specifically set forth herein.  
ix.The Borrower and the Collateral Manager shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Custodian harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and costs and expenses incurred by the Custodian as a result of the entering into and performance of its duties hereunder, unless such claims, liabilities, damages, loss, fees, costs and expenses shall arise from the Custodian’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance 








of the Custodian’s duties hereunder.  The Custodian’s rights to indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Custodian.
x.It is understood that the Custodian will charge for its services including, but not limited to, overnight courier and copying expenses, under this Agreement as specified in the schedule of fees set forth in a separate agreement among the Custodian, the Collateral Manager and the Borrower, and the payment of such fees and expenses shall be the sole obligation of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager.  All the Custodian Fees and Expenses shall be payable upon the Collateral Manager’s or the Borrower’s receipt of an invoice from the Custodian.
xi.The Custodian makes no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, due authorization, genuineness, perfections, priority, ownership, title, recordability or transferability of the Borrower Collateral, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity or value of any of the Borrower Collateral.  The Custodian shall not be obligated to take any action hereunder that might in its judgment involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it.  The Custodian shall have no responsibility or duty with respect to any Contract File while not in its possession, including at any time such Contract File has been released pursuant to a Request for Release and Receipt, or is otherwise in transit, with a courier, to or from the Custodian, including, without limitation, in connection with the transmission of Contract Files pursuant to Section 12.15, or prior to the delivery of a Collateral Obligation File to the Custodian pursuant to Section 12.1; provided that the Custodian shall act in good faith with respect to ensuring it receives any Contract Files that are in transit and for which the Custodian has received tracking information.
xii.In no event shall the Custodian be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Custodian has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Each Note Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders, as it deems appropriate, or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction, in the case of the Facility Agent, by the Lenders, against any and all liability, cost and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Facility Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.  The Facility Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.
a.Notices.
  No Note Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any breach of this Agreement or the occurrence of any Facility Termination Event unless such Note Agent has received notice from the Collateral Manager, the Borrower or any Lender, referring to this Agreement and describing such event.  In the event that the Facility Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to each Lender.  The Facility Agent shall take such action with respect to such event as shall be reasonably directed in writing by the Majority Lenders; provided that unless and until such Note Agent shall have received such directions, such Note Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such event as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders or of the Lenders in its Lender Group, as applicable.
a.Non‐Reliance on Note Agents.
  The Lenders expressly acknowledge that neither any Note Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‐in‐fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by a Note Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, TPVC, the Collateral Manager or the Backup Collateral Manager, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Note Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to each Note Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Note Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, TPVC, the Collateral Manager, the Backup Collateral Manager, and the Contracts and made its own decision to purchase its interest in the Notes hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Note Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under any of the Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to 








inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, TPVC, the Collateral Manager, the Backup Collateral Manager, and the Contracts.  Except as expressly provided herein, no Note Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the Borrower Collateral or the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, TPVC, the Collateral Manager, the Lenders or the Backup Collateral Manager which may come into the possession of such Note Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‐in‐fact or affiliates.
In no event shall the Facility Agent be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits, even if the Facility Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.  In no event shall the Facility Agent be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations, governmental action or the like which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Agreement.
a.Indemnification.
  The Lenders agree to indemnify the Facility Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or TPVC under the Transaction Documents, and without limiting the obligation of such Persons to do so in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents), ratably according to the outstanding amounts of their Advances from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Facility Agent or the affected Person in connection with any investigative, or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Facility Agent or such affected Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Facility Agent or such affected Person as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Facility Agent or such affected Person).
a.Successor Agent.
  If the Facility Agent shall resign as Facility Agent under this Agreement, then the Majority Lenders shall appoint a successor agent, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Facility Agent, and the term “Facility Agent” shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its acceptance of such appointment, and the former Facility Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Facility Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Facility Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement.  After any retiring Note Agent’s resignation hereunder as Note Agent, the provisions of this Article XV shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Note Agent under this Agreement.  No resignation of any Note Agent shall become effective until a successor Note Agent shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of such Note Agent; provided, however, that in the event a successor Note Agent is not appointed within 60 days after such Note Agent has given notice of its resignation as permitted by this Section 15.8, such Note Agent may petition a court for its removal.








a.Note Agents in their Individual Capacity.
  Each Note Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, TPVC, the Collateral Manager or the Backup Collateral Manager as though such Note Agent were not an agent hereunder.  In addition, the Lenders acknowledge that one or more Persons which are Note Agents may act (i) as administrator, sponsor or agent for one or more Structured Lenders and in such capacity acts and may continue to act on behalf of each such Structured Lender in connection with its business, and (ii) as the agent for certain financial institutions under the liquidity and credit enhancement agreements relating to this Agreement to which any one or more Structured Lenders is party and in various other capacities relating to the business of any such Structured Lender under various agreements.  Any such Person, in its capacity as Note Agent, shall not, by virtue of its acting in any such other capacities, be deemed to have duties or responsibilities hereunder or be held to a standard of care in connection with the performance of its duties as a Note Agent other than as expressly provided in this Agreement.  Any Person which is a Note Agent may act as a Note Agent without regard to and without additional duties or liabilities arising from its role as such administrator or agent or arising from its acting in any such other capacity.
a.Compliance with Applicable Banking Law.
  In order to comply with Applicable Banking Law, the Facility Agent is required to obtain, verify, record and update certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Facility Agent. Accordingly, each of the parties agree to provide to the Facility Agent, upon its reasonable request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Facility Agent to comply with Applicable Banking Law.
a.The Paying Agent.


i.The Borrower hereby appoints Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as the initial Paying Agent.

The Paying Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of any Unmatured Facility Termination Event or Facility Termination Event unless an Authorized Officer of the Paying Agent 








receives written notice specifying that an Unmatured Facility Termination Event or Facility Termination Event has occurred from the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, any Lender or any other Secured Party.  The receipt and/or delivery of reports and other information (including, without limitation, any Distribution Date Statement) under this Agreement by the Paying Agent containing information relating to events or circumstances which may constitute an Unmatured Facility Termination Event or Facility Termination Event shall not constitute notice or actual or constructive knowledge of an Unmatured Facility Termination Event or Facility Termination Event.
v.The Borrower agrees to pay to the Paying Agent from time to time such compensation as agreed in writing between the Borrower and the Paying Agent.
vi.The Paying Agent may consult with counsel of its choice with regard to legal questions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the advice or opinion of such counsel, selected with due care, shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by the Paying Agent in good faith and in accordance therewith.
vii.Prior to exercising or honoring any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or other Transaction Document at the request or direction of the Facility Agent (or any other Person authorized or permitted to direct the Paying Agent hereunder) pursuant to this Agreement or other Transaction Document that it reasonably determines might involve it in liability, the Paying Agent may request that the Facility Agent (or such other Person) provide the Paying Agent security or indemnity reasonably acceptable to the Paying Agent against costs, expenses and liabilities (including any legal fees) that might reasonably be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.
viii.The Paying Agent shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of the Facility Agent, the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, any Lender or any other Person. The Paying Agent does not assume and shall have no responsibility for, and makes no representation as to, monitoring the value of any Borrower Collateral.
ix.Any Person into which the Paying Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which to Paying Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Paying Agent, shall be the successor of the Paying Agent under this Agreement, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
x.If the Paying Agent shall at any time (i) be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder, (ii) receive instructions from any of the parties authorized to give instructions which, in the reasonable opinion of the Paying Agent, are in conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, or (iii) receive conflicting instructions from the Facility Agent and any other party authorized to give instructions and the conflict between such instructions cannot be resolved by reference to the terms of this 








Agreement, then in each such case, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on the instructions of the Facility Agent and shall incur no liability for acting in accordance therewith.
xi.If any property subject hereto is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part hereof, then and in any of such events the Paying Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree, and if it complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree it shall not be liable to any other party hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree maybe subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.
xii.The Paying Agent shall incur no liability nor be responsible to the Borrower or any other Person for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control that significantly and adversely affect the Paying Agent’s ability to perform with respect to this Agreement.  Such acts shall include, but not be limited to, acts of God, strikes, work stoppages, acts of terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility.
xiii.In no event shall the Paying Agent be liable for any special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential loss or damage of any nature whatsoever arising from any act or omission of the Paying Agent, whether or not the possibility of such damage was disclosed to, or could have been reasonably foreseen by, the Paying Agent and regardless of the form of action.
xiv.The Paying Agent may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate of an Authorized Officer, any Distribution Date Statement, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
xv.In order to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, including Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act of the United States (“Relevant Law”), the Paying Agent is required to obtain, verify, record and update certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Paying Agent.  Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Paying Agent upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available to such party in order to enable the Paying Agent to comply with Relevant Law.








xvi.The Paying Agent shall have no obligation to determine whether any conditions precedent to making any Advance have been satisfied and the Paying Agent shall incur no liability for distributing funds received into the Collection Account in accordance with an Advance Request received by it.
xvii.The Paying Agent may exercise any of its rights or powers hereunder or perform any of its duties hereunder either directly or, by or through agents or attorneys, and the Paying Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed hereunder with due care by it.
xviii.Either (i) after the expiration of the 364-day period commencing on the date hereof, the Paying Agent may at any time resign and terminate its obligations under this Agreement upon at least 60 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Manager, the Borrower and the Facility Agent (provided however that the Paying Agent may resign prior to the expiration of the 364 day period if it is resigning for cause and has provided 30 days prior written notice to the Collateral Manager) or (ii) the Facility Agent, upon at least 10 days’ prior written notice to the Paying Agent, may, with or without cause, remove and discharge the Paying Agent or any successor Paying Agent thereafter appointed from the performance of its duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that no resignation or removal of the Paying Agent will be permitted unless a successor Paying Agent has been appointed, which successor Paying Agent, so long as no Unmatured Collateral Manager Default, Collateral Manager Default, Unmatured Facility Termination Event or Facility Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Manager.  If a successor Paying Agent does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Paying Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Paying Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Paying Agent.
xix.The Paying Agent shall not be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of LIBOR or the LIBOR Rate, or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any replacement for the LIBOR Rate, or (ii) to select, determine or designate any replacement rate, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied. The Paying Agent shall not be liable for any failure or delay on its part to perform its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such failure or delay is a direct result of the unavailability of LIBOR (or other applicable replacement rate) and/or absence of a designated replacement rate.
D.  ASSIGNMENTS
a.Restrictions on Assignments.
  Except as specifically provided herein (with respect to the Collateral Manager and the Backup Collateral Manager), neither the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, TPVC nor the Backup Collateral Manager may assign any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders.
a.Documentation.








  In connection with any permitted assignment, each Lender shall deliver to each assignee an assignment, in such form as such Lender and the related assignee may agree, duly executed by such Lender assigning any such rights, obligations, Advance or Note to the assignee; and such Lender shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the assignee may reasonably request, in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the assignee’s right, title and interest in and to the items assigned, and to enable the assignee to exercise or enforce any rights hereunder or under the Notes evidencing such Advance.  In the case of any permitted assignment of any Commitment (or any portion thereof) or any Advance (or any portion thereof) the assignee shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Manager, the Borrower, the Facility Agent and the Custodian a fully executed assignment thereof or a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto.  If the assignee is not an existing Lender it shall deliver to the Custodian any tax forms and other information requested by the Custodian for purposes of conducting its customary “know your customer” inquiries.
a.Rights of Assignee.
  Upon the foreclosure of any assignment of any Advances made for security purposes, or upon any other assignment of any Advance from any Lender pursuant to this Article XVI, the respective assignee receiving such assignment shall have all of the rights of such Lender hereunder with respect to such Advances and all references to the Lenders in Section 4.3 and Section 5.1 shall be deemed to apply to such assignee.
a.Notice of Assignment by Lenders.
  So long as no Unmatured Facility Termination Event, Facility Termination Event, Unmatured Collateral Manager Default or Collateral Manager Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender may make any assignment, other than any proposed assignment (i) to an Affiliate of such Lender, (ii) to another Lender hereunder or (iii) to any Person if such Lender makes a determination that its ownership of any of its rights or obligations hereunder is prohibited by Applicable Law (including, without limitation, the Volcker Rule), without the prior written consent of the Borrower and TPVC (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided that the Lenders shall not assign any interest in, or sell a participation in any Advance (or portion thereof) or its Commitment (or any portion thereof), to the Equityholder or any Affiliate of the Equityholder; provided, further, that each Lender shall first offer to sell such interest(s) to each other Lender (pro rata) for a period of ten (10) Business Days prior to offering to any Person that is not an existing Lender.  Each Lender shall endorse the Notes to reflect any assignments made pursuant to this Article XVI or otherwise.
a.Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.
  (a)  The Facility Agent shall keep a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Facility Agent shall provide for the registration of the Notes and of transfer of interests in the Notes.  The Facility Agent is hereby appointed “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering the Notes and transfers of the Notes as herein provided.
i.Each Person who has or who acquired an interest in a Note shall be deemed by such acquisition to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Section 16.5.  A Note may be exchanged (in accordance with Section 16.5(c)) and transferred to the holders (or their agents or nominees) of the Advances and to any assignee (in accordance with Section 16.1) (or its agent or nominee) of all or a portion of the Advances.  The Facility Agent shall not register (or cause to be registered) the transfer of such Note, unless the proposed transferee shall have delivered to the Facility Agent either (x) evidence satisfactory to it that the transfer of such 








Note is exempt from registration or qualification under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all applicable state securities laws and that the transfer does not constitute a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under ERISA or (y) an express agreement by the proposed transferee to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this Section 16.5 and the restrictions noted on the face of such Note.
ii.At the option of the holder thereof, a Note may be exchanged for one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like class and aggregate principal amount at an office or agency of the Borrower.  Whenever any Note is so surrendered for exchange, the Borrower shall execute and deliver (through the Facility Agent) the new Note which the holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
iii.Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at an office or agency of the Borrower, the Borrower shall execute and deliver (through the Facility Agent), in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like class and aggregate principal amount.
iv.All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of any Note in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be the valid obligations of the Borrower, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Note(s) surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
v.Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Borrower or the Facility Agent) be fully endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Note Registrar, duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.  
vi.No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of a Note, but the Borrower may require payment from the transferee holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer of exchange of a Note, other than exchanges pursuant to this Section 16.5.
vii.The holders of the Notes shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
b.Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.
  (a)  If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Facility Agent the Borrower shall execute and deliver (through the Facility Agent) in exchange therefor a new Note of like class and tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
i.If there shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Facility Agent prior to the payment of the Notes (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Borrower or the Facility Agent that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver (through the Facility Agent), in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like class, tenor and 








principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
ii.Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 16.6, the Borrower may require the payment from the transferor holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith.
iii.Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 16.6 and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Borrower, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
iv.The provisions of this Section 16.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of a mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note.
c.Persons Deemed Owners.
  The Borrower, the Collateral Manager, TPVC, the Lenders, the Facility Agent and any agent for any of the foregoing may treat the holder of any Note as the owner of such Note for all purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note may be overdue, and none of Borrower, the Collateral Manager, TPVC, the Lenders, the Facility Agent and any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
a.Cancellation.
  All Notes surrendered for payment or registration of transfer or exchange shall be promptly canceled.  The Borrower shall promptly cancel and deliver to the Facility Agent any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Borrower may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Borrower.  No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 16.8, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.
a.Participations; Pledge.
  (a)  At any time and from time to time, each Lender may, in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time grant participations in all or a portion of its Note and/or its interest in the Advances and other payments due to it under this Agreement to any Person (each, a “Participant”).  Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that (A) any such participation will not alter or affect such Lender’s direct obligations hereunder, and (B) neither the Borrower, TPVC, the Facility Agent, any other Lender nor the Collateral Manager shall have any obligation to have any communication or relationship with any Participant.  Each Participant shall comply with the provisions of Section 4.3(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.3(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender instead of the Borrower and Facility Agent) and shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.3 and 5.1, but shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.3 or 5.1 than the Lender which granted such participation interest to such Participant would be entitled to receive had such Lender not granted such interest to such Participant, except to the extent that such entitlement to receive such greater payment results from a change in any Applicable Law that occurs after such interest was granted to such Participant.  So long as no Unmatured Facility Termination Event, Facility Termination Event, Unmatured Collateral Manager Default or Collateral Manager Default has occurred and is continuing, any proposed participation shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower and TPVC, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or 








conditioned.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations hereunder (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any obligations hereunder) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Facility Agent (in its capacity as Facility Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
i.Notwithstanding anything in Section 16.9(a) to the contrary, each Lender may pledge its interest in the Advances and the Notes to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral in accordance with Applicable Law without the prior written consent of any Person.
b.Reallocation of Advances.
  Any reallocation of Advances among Committed Lenders pursuant to an assignment agreement or a Joinder Agreement executed by such Committed Lender and its assignee(s) and delivered pursuant to Article XVI shall be wired by the applicable purchasing Lender(s) to the Paying Agent pursuant to the wiring instructions provided by the Paying Agent; provided that the Paying Agent shall not fund such wire until it has received an executed assignment agreement or Joinder Agreement, as applicable.
A.  INDEMNIFICATION
a.Borrower Indemnity.
  Without limiting any other rights which any such Person may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Borrower agrees to indemnify on an after-tax basis the Facility Agent, the Lenders, the Backup Collateral Manager (in its capacity as Backup Collateral Manager or successor Collateral Manager), the Paying Agent, the Collection Account Bank and the Custodian and each of their Affiliates, and each of their respective successors, transferees, participants and assigns and all officers, directors, shareholders, controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called an “Indemnified Party”), forthwith on demand, 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 called “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated thereby or the use of proceeds therefrom by the Borrower, including in respect of the funding of any Advance or in respect of any Transferred Contract, excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts payable to an Indemnified Party to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party or its agent or subcontractor or (b) any Excluded Taxes.

10.the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other Applicable Laws with respect to any Transferred Contract to the extent contemplated by this Agreement;

12.any failure of the Borrower to give reasonably equivalent value to the Equityholder in consideration of the sale by the Equityholder to the Borrower of any Contract Payments or Contracts, or any attempt by any Person to void any such sale under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action, including any provision of the Bankruptcy Code; or
13.any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of the Advances, the ownership of any Contract Payment or Contract or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating thereto in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

a.Collateral Manager Indemnity.
  Without limiting any other rights which any such Person may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Collateral Manager agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Parties forthwith on demand, from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated thereby occurring prior to the effective date of the removal of the Collateral Manager, excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts payable to an Indemnified Party to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party or its agent or subcontractor, (b) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, non‐payment by any Obligor of an amount due and payable with respect to a Transferred Contract, (c) any loss in value of any Permitted Investment due to changes in market conditions or for other reasons beyond the control of the Borrower, TPVC or the Collateral Manager or (d) any Excluded Taxes.  Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the exclusions (a) through (d) above, the Collateral Manager agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts arising out of or relating to:
1.the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Collateral Manager (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, any Distribution Date Statement or any other information, report or certificate delivered by the Collateral Manager pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made;
2.any claim arising out of the failure by the Collateral Manager to comply in any material way with any Applicable Law with respect to any Transferred Contract, or the nonconformity of any Transferred Contract with any such Applicable Law;
3.any claim arising out of any failure of the Collateral Manager to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions of Article VII or any provision contained in any Transaction Document;
4.any action or omission by the Collateral Manager reducing or impairing the rights of the Secured Parties with respect to any 








Contract Payments or the value of any Contract Payments, except in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and as permitted by this Agreement;
5.negligence, misfeasance or bad faith of the Collateral Manager in the performance of its duties under the Transaction Documents (including any violation of law); or
6.the commingling by the Collateral Manager of the proceeds of Borrower Collateral at any time with other funds.
Indemnification under this Section 17.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation.
a.Contribution.
  If for any reason (other than the exclusions set forth in the first paragraph of Section 17.1 or the first paragraph of Section 17.2) the indemnification provided above in Section 17.1 or Section 17.2 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, as the case may be, agrees to 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 Borrower and its Affiliates or the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates, as the case may be, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Borrower and its Affiliates or the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates, as the case may be, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, in each case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
A.  MISCELLANEOUS
a.No Waiver; Remedies.
  No failure on the part of any Lender, the Facility Agent, any Indemnified Party or any Affected Person to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and Participant is hereby authorized by the Borrower and TPVC during the existence of a Facility Termination Event, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by it to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or TPVC (as the case may be) to the amounts owed by the Borrower or TPVC, respectively, under this Agreement, to the Facility Agent, any Affected Person, any Indemnified Party or any Lender or their respective successors and assigns.
a.Amendments, Waivers.
  This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified nor may any provision hereof be waived except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 18.2.  With the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, TPVC, the Facility Agent, the Paying Agent, the Backup Collateral Manager and the Custodian may, from time to time, enter into written amendments, supplements, waivers or modifications hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or changing in any manner the rights of any party hereto or waiving, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that no such amendment, supplement, waiver or modification shall constitute a Fundamental Amendment, in each case 








without the consent of each Lender affected thereby; provided, further that any waiver of a Facility Termination Event (other than a waiver of clause (a), clause (d) or clause (m) (solely as a result of any of the events set forth in clauses (c), (d), (f) or (g) of the definition of “Change of Control”) of the definition thereof, which shall require the consent of all Lenders) shall require consent of the Majority Lenders; provided, further, that the signature of the Borrower and TPVC shall not be required for the effectiveness of any amendment which modifies the representations, warranties, covenants or responsibilities of the Collateral Manager at any time when the Collateral Manager is not TPVC or any Affiliate of TPVC or a successor Collateral Manager is designated by the Facility Agent pursuant to Section 7.1; provided, further, that the signature of the Paying Agent, the Backup Collateral Manager or the Custodian (respectively) shall not be required for the effectiveness of any amendment that does not affect the rights or obligations of the Paying Agent, the Backup Collateral Manager or Custodian (respectively); provided, however, that the Paying Agent shall be provided an executed copy of any amendment promptly following the closing of such amendment.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the LIBOR Rate ceases to exist or is reasonably expected to cease to exist within the succeeding three (3) months, the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Facility Agent may (and such parties will reasonably cooperate with each other in good faith in order to) amend this Agreement to replace references herein to the LIBOR Rate (and any associated terms and provisions) with any alternative floating reference rate (and any associated terms and provisions) that is then being generally used in U.S. credit markets for similar types of facilities. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be limited to the provisions specifically set forth therein for the period of time set forth therein and shall not be construed to be a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement.  During the time that any Lender hereunder is a Conduit Lender, the Facility Agent will provide notice and a copy of any amendment to any of (A) this Agreement or (B) the Sale Agreement to Standard & Poor’s prior to the execution of such amendment.
Subject to the provisions of Section 16.4, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager each acknowledge that the Facility Agent may be communicating with other Lenders or potential lenders in connection with an amendment or syndication of this Agreement.
a.Notices, Etc.
  All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including facsimile communication) and shall be personally delivered or sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile, to the intended party at the address or facsimile number of such party set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof or at such other address or facsimile number as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto.  All such notices and communications shall be effective, (a) if personally delivered, when received, (b) if sent by certified mail, three Business Days after having been deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, (c) if sent by overnight courier, one Business Day after having been given to such courier, and (d) if transmitted by facsimile, when sent, receipt confirmed by telephone or electronic means, except that notices and communications pursuant to Section 2.2, shall not be effective until received.

letter agreement among the Borrower, TPVC and the Facility Agent and the Borrower or TPVC on behalf of the Borrower further agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses of the Facility Agent in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents executed in connection with this Agreement and any Structured Lender Liquidity Arrangement or other liquidity support facility, including the reasonable fees and out‐of‐pocket expenses of counsel for the Facility Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Facility Agent as to its rights and remedies under this Agreement and any Structured Lender Liquidity Arrangement or other liquidity support facility, and to pay all costs and expenses, if any (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses), of the Facility Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, in connection with the enforcement against TPVC or the Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and the other documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder or with respect hereto; provided that in the case of reimbursement of counsel for the Lenders other than the Facility Agent, such reimbursement shall be limited to one counsel for all such Lenders.
a.Binding Effect; Survival.
  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, the Lenders, the Facility Agent, the Paying Agent, the Collection Account Bank, the Backup Collateral Manager, the Custodian, the Collateral Manager, TPVC and their respective successors and assigns, and the provisions of Section 4.3(c), Article V, Section 11.1 and Article XVII shall inure to the benefit of the Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties, respectively, and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed to authorize any assignment not permitted by Article XVI.  This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time when all Obligations have been finally and fully paid in cash and performed.  The rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made by the Borrower pursuant to Article IX and the indemnification and payment provisions of Article V, Section 11.1 and Article XVII and the provisions of Section 18.10, Section 18.11 and Section 18.12 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement and any termination of TPVC’s rights to act as Collateral Manager hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.
a.Captions and Cross References.
  The various captions (including the table of contents) in this Agreement are provided solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.  Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Agreement to any Section, Schedule or Exhibit are to such Section of or Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement, as the case may be, and references in any Section, subsection, or clause to any subsection, clause or subclause are to such subsection, clause or subclause of such Section, subsection or clause.
a.Severability.

The parties agree that this Agreement may be executed and delivered by electronic signatures and that the electronic signatures appearing on this Agreement are the same as handwritten signatures for the purposes of validity, enforceability and admissibility.
a.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF TPVC, THE BORROWER, THE COLLATERAL MANAGER, THE FACILITY AGENT, THE AGENTS, THE PAYING AGENT, THE LENDERS OR ANY OTHER AFFECTED PERSON.  EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR ITS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH SUCH OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT.
a.No Proceedings.
  (a)  Each of the Borrower, TPVC, the Collateral Manager, the Backup Collateral Manager, the Facility Agent, the Paying Agent and each Lender hereby agrees that it will not institute against any Lender which is a Structured Lender, or join any other Person in instituting against such Lender, any insolvency proceeding (namely, any proceeding of the type referred to in the definition of Insolvency Event) so long as any commercial paper or other senior indebtedness issued by such Lender shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such commercial paper or other senior indebtedness shall be outstanding.  The foregoing shall not limit such Person’s right to file any claim in or otherwise take any action with respect to any insolvency proceeding that was instituted by any Person other than such Person.
i.Each of TPVC, the Collateral Manager, the Backup Collateral Manager, each Lender, the Paying Agent and the Facility Agent hereby agrees that it will not institute against the Borrower, or join any other Person in instituting against the Borrower, any insolvency proceeding (namely, any proceeding of the type referred to in the definition of Insolvency Event) so long as any Advances or other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such Advances or other amounts shall be outstanding.  The foregoing shall not limit such Person’s right to file any claim in or otherwise take any action with respect to any insolvency proceeding that was instituted by any Person other than such Person.
ii.The provisions of this clause (c) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 18.11 are a material inducement for the Secured Parties to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and are an essential term hereof.  The parties hereby agree that monetary damages are not adequate for a breach of the provisions of Section 18.11 and the Facility Agent may seek and obtain specific performance of such provisions (including injunctive 








relief), including, without limitation, in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, winding up, insolvency, moratorium, winding up or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under United States federal or state bankruptcy laws, or any similar laws.
b.Limited Recourse to the Lenders.
  No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of a Lender contained in this Agreement shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of any Lender or any of its Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is solely a corporate obligation of each Lender, and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of any Lender or any of their Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) or any of them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of a Lender contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by a Lender of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common law or at equity, or by statute, rule or regulation, of every such incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement.
a.ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS EXECUTED AND DELIVERED HEREWITH REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.
a.Confidentiality.
  The Facility Agent and each Lender, severally and with respect to itself only, covenants and agrees that any information about the Borrower or its Affiliates or the Obligors, the Contract Payments, the Related Security or otherwise obtained by the Facility Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be held in confidence (it being understood that documents provided to the Facility Agent hereunder may in all cases be distributed by the Facility Agent to the Lenders) except that the Facility Agent or such Lender may disclose such information (i) to its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, auditors, advisors or representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made pursuant to this clause (i) will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (ii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through the Facility Agent or such Lender, (iii) to the extent such information was available to the Facility Agent or such Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure to the Facility Agent or such Lender hereunder, (iv) with the written consent of the Borrower, (v) to the extent permitted by Article XVI, (vi) to the extent the Facility Agent or such Lender should be (A) required in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding or (B) requested by any Official Body to disclose such information, (vii) for the purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense, (viii) in the case of any Lender that is a Structured Lender, to rating agencies, placement agents and providers of liquidity and credit support who agree to hold such information in confidence or (ix) at any time which is 18 months after the termination of this Agreement; provided that in the case of clause (vi) above, the Facility Agent or such Lender, as applicable, will use all reasonable efforts to maintain 








confidentiality and, in the case of clause (vi)(A) above, will (unless otherwise prohibited by law) notify the Borrower of its intention to make any such disclosure prior to making any such disclosure.
a.Replacement of Lenders.
  At any time there is more than one Lender, the Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender, except (i) the Facility Agent or (ii) any Lender which is administered by the Facility Agent or an Affiliate of the Facility Agent, that (a) requests reimbursement, payment or compensation for any amounts owing for Increased Costs or Taxes or for indemnification pursuant to Section 17.1(iv), or (b) has received a written notice from the Borrower of an impending change in law that would entitle such Lender to payment of additional amounts for Increased Costs or Taxes or for indemnification pursuant to Section 17.1(iv), unless such Lender designates a different lending office before such change in law becomes effective and such alternate lending office obviates the need for the Borrower to make payments of additional amounts for Increased Costs or Taxes or for indemnification pursuant to Section 17.1(iv) or (c) has not consented to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver, each pursuant to Section 18.2 or to a request to extend the Scheduled Facility Termination Date or (d) is a Defaulting Lender or (e) has declined or rejected, or such Lender declines or rejects, an Extension Request with respect to the Scheduled Facility Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.9; provided that (i) nothing herein shall relieve a Lender from any liability it might have to the Borrower or to the other Lenders for its failure to make any Advance, (ii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 5.1 so as to fully eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 5.1, if applicable, (iii) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Advances and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement and reallocation of such Advances between the replacement financial institution and such replaced Lender shall be made in accordance with Section 16.10, (iv) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent, (v) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 16.5, (vi) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) for Increased Costs or Taxes, as the case may be and (vii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Facility Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.
a.No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.
  In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Transaction Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Facility Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Facility Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents; (ii) (A) the Facility Agent and each of the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Facility Agent nor any of the Joint Lead Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except 








those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents; and (iii) the Facility Agent and each of the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Facility Agent nor any of the Joint Lead Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. The Borrower hereby agrees not to assert, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Facility Agent and each of the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
a.Option to Acquire Rating.
  Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Facility Agent (on behalf and at the expense of the Lenders) may, at any time and in its sole discretion, obtain a public rating for this loan facility.  The Borrower and TPVC hereby agree to use commercially reasonable efforts, at the request of the Facility Agent, to cooperate with the acquisition and maintenance of any such rating.
a.Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Transaction Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)        the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)        the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)         a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)        a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or
(iii)       the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
a.Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.


To the extent that this Agreement provides support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that this Agreement and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):








In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a defaulting lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
