**Section 2.1. <u>Advances</u>.<u>.</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, from time to time from the Closing Date until the Reinvestment Period End Date, the Borrower may request that the Lenders make Advances to the Borrower secured by the Collateral, in an aggregate amount up to the Maximum Facility Amount as of such date, (x) to the Borrower for the purpose of acquiring Eligible Loans or as otherwise permitted in accordance with Section <u>5.2(n)</u> or (y) to the Unfunded Exposure Account in an amount up to, prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period, the aggregate of all Unfunded Exposure Equity Amounts and, on the Reinvestment Period End Date, the Exposure Amount Shortfall.

Following the receipt of a Funding Request, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, during the Reinvestment Period, the Lenders shall fund such Advance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall be obligated to provide the Borrower with aggregate funds in connection with an Advance that would exceed the least of (i) such Lender's unused Commitment then in effect, (ii) the aggregate unused Commitments then in effect and (iii) the Maximum Facility Amount on the proposed Funding Date of such Advance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Borrower may, at any time, make a request to the Lenders to extend either (1) both the date set forth in clause (i) of the definition of "Reinvestment Period" and the date set forth in the definition of "Facility Maturity Date" or (2) the date set forth in the definition of "Facility Maturity Date," in either case, for an additional period of one (1) year (or such shorter period as determined by the Servicer).

The Borrower confirms that any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, in their sole and absolute discretion, without regard to the value or performance of the Loans or any other factor, may elect not to extend the date set forth in clause (i) of the definition of "Reinvestment Period" or the date set forth in the definition of "Facility Maturity Date". For the avoidance of doubt, once effected, the Facility Maturity Date shall not be more than five (5) years from the date on which the Extension is exercised by the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) (i) The Borrower may, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, add additional Persons as Lenders; *provided* that the Commitment of any Lender may only be increased in connection with a corresponding increase in the Facility Amount with the prior written consent of such Lender and the Administrative Agent. Each additional Lender shall become a party hereto by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a Joinder Supplement and a representation letter in the form of <u>Exhibit</u> <u>K</u>. The Borrower confirms that each Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, without regard to the value or performance of the Loans or any other factor, may elect not to increase its Commitment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) At any time during the Reinvestment Period, so long as no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, request an increase to the Facility Amount, subject to the following conditions: (i)(A) such increase shall only occur with a corresponding increase to the Commitments of the existing Lenders (subject to the prior written consent of each Lender) or (B) the joinder of additional Lenders in accordance with <u>clause</u> <u>(d)(i)</u> above and (ii) in no event shall the Facility Amount be increased to an amount greater than $1,000,000,000.

In connection with any reduction of Advances Outstanding (x) in part, the Borrower shall deliver to each Lender funds sufficient to repay such Advances Outstanding, together with any Breakage Costs and all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and Lenders related to such repayment and (y) in whole, the Borrower shall deliver to each Lender funds sufficient to repay such Advances Outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid Interest, any Breakage Costs, and all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and Lenders related to such repayment; *provided* that, no such reduction shall be given effect unless sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all such amounts in full. The Administrative Agent shall apply amounts received from the Borrower pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.3(b)</u> to the *pro rata* reduction of the Advances Outstanding, to the payment of all accrued and unpaid Interest on the amount of the Advances Outstanding to be repaid and to the payment of any Breakage Costs. Any Advance so repaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed during the Reinvestment Period. Any Repayment Notice relating to any repayment pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.3(b)</u> shall be irrevocable; *provided* that, such Repayment Notice may be conditioned upon the happening or occurrence of a specified event, and thereafter revoked in the event that such specified event does not occur.

Until the occurrence of a Termination Event, to the extent there are uninvested amounts deposited in the Collection Account, all such amounts shall be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Servicer (which may be by a standing order) on each Payment Date; from and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, to the extent there are uninvested amounts in the Collection Account, all such amounts may be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent). All earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) thereon shall be retained or deposited into the Collection Account and shall be applied on each Payment Date pursuant to the provisions of <u>Section</u> <u>2.7</u>, <u>Section</u> <u>2.8</u> and <u>Section</u> <u>2.9</u>.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The Servicer shall instruct the Collateral Agent, on the Determination Date immediately preceding each Payment Date, to convert amounts on deposit in the Collection Account into Dollars to the extent necessary to make payments pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.7</u> or <u>Section</u> <u>2.8</u>, as applicable (as determined by the Servicer using the Applicable Exchange Rate).

The Servicer shall provide prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent of any such conversion.

**Section 2.11. <u>Payments, Computations, Etc</u><u>.</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 2:00 p.m. on the day when due in lawful money of the United States or in such other Eligible Currency in immediately available funds and any amount not received before such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.

Such interest shall be for the account of the applicable Secured Party. Any Aggregate Unpaids hereunder shall not be reduced by any distribution of any portion of Collections if at any time such distribution is rescinded or required to be returned by any Lender to the Borrower or any other Person for any reason. All computations of interest and other fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days (other than calculations with respect to (x) Term CORRA or SONIA, which shall be based on a year consisting of 365 days or (y) the Base Rate, which shall be based on a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days elapsed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of Interest or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be. For avoidance of doubt, to the extent that Available Funds are insufficient on any Payment Date to satisfy the full amount of any Increased Costs pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.7(4)</u> and <u>Section</u> <u>2.8(a)(1)</u>, such unpaid amounts shall remain due and owing and shall accrue interest as provided in <u>Section</u> <u>2.11(a)</u> until repaid in full.

The Borrower confirms that until the Collection Date the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the sole right to enforce the Borrower's rights and remedies under any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The parties hereto agree that such collateral assignment to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall terminate upon the Collection Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If either (i) the introduction of or any change following the Closing Date (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any Applicable Law or (ii) the compliance by an Affected Party with any guideline or request following the Closing Date from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (a) subject an Affected Party to any Tax, duty or other charge with respect to its interest in the Collateral, or any right or obligation to make Advances hereunder, or on any payment made hereunder, (b) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve requirement, if any, included in the determination of Interest), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the amount of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party or (c) impose any other condition affecting the security interest in the Collateral conveyed to the Lenders hereunder or any Affected Party's rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, the result of which is to increase the cost to any Affected Party or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement, under any other Transaction Document, then on the next Payment Date after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such increased costs or reduced payments; *provided* that, the amounts payable under this <u>Section</u> <u>2.14</u> shall not include any Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the issuance of Interpretation No. 46 (and/or any amendment or supplement thereto or to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140) by the Financial Accounting Standards

Board or any other change in accounting standards or the issuance of any other pronouncement, release or interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the assets and liabilities of the Equityholder, the Borrower or any Lender with the assets and liabilities of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or shall otherwise impose any loss, cost, expense, reduction of return on capital or other loss, such event shall constitute a circumstance on which such Affected Party may base a claim for reimbursement under this <u>Section</u> <u>2.14</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clause (a) or (b) of this <u>Section</u> <u>2.14</u>, any Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then within ten (10) days after demand by such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts payable or paid by it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In determining any amount provided for in this <u>Section</u> <u>2.14</u>, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under this <u>Section</u> <u>2.14</u> shall submit to the Servicer a written description setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of such additional or increased cost or reduction and the calculation thereof, which written description shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.14</u> shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party's right to demand or receive such compensation; <u>provided</u> that each Affected Party will notify the Borrower promptly after it has received official notice of any event occurring after the Closing Date which will entitle such Affected Party to such additional amounts as compensation pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.14</u>. Such additional amounts shall accrue from the date as to which such Affected Party becomes subject to such additional costs as a result of such event (or, if such Affected Party's demand for compensation relating to such event is not given to the Borrower by such Affected Party within six months after such Affected Party received such official notice of such event, from the date which is six months prior to the date such demand for compensation is given to the Borrower by such Affected Party).

**Section 2.15. <u>Taxes</u>.<u>.</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) All payments made by the Borrower or made by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Indemnified Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Secured Party, then the amount payable to such Person will be increased (the amount of such increase, the "<u>Additional Amount</u>") such that every net payment made under this Agreement after withholding for or on account of any Indemnified Taxes (including, without limitation, such deductions and withholdings applicable to Additional Amounts payable under this <u>Section</u> <u>2.15</u>) is not less than the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been made. The foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts with respect to payments required to be made by the Borrower or Servicer on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement will not, however, apply with respect to (1) Taxes imposed on or measured by net income, franchise Taxes, or branch profits Taxes, in each case imposed on any Secured Party by a taxing jurisdiction (x) in which any such Person is organized or in which its applicable lending office is located or (y) as a result of a present or former connection between such Secured Party and the relevant jurisdiction (other than any such connection arising from such Secured Party having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced this Agreement); (2) with respect to a Lender, any U.S. federal withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable such Lender at the time such Lender acquires an interest in an Advance or Commitment or designates a new lending office, except to the extent that such Secured Party was otherwise entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower or the Servicer with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.15</u>; (3) any tax is attributable to a Secured Party's failure to comply with <u>Sections 2.15(d)</u>, <u>(e)</u>, <u>(f)</u>, <u>(g)</u> and <u>(h)</u>; and (4) any tax that is imposed under FATCA (collectively, "<u>Excluded Taxes</u>").

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Secured Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Secured Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by the Borrower or by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower of any Indemnified Taxes, the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, will furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at the applicable address set forth on <u>Annex</u> <u>A</u> to this Agreement, appropriate evidence of payment thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Each Secured Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Secured Party, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Secured Party is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in <u>Sections</u> <u>2.15(e)</u>, <u>(f)</u>, and <u>(g)</u> below) shall not be required if in the Secured Party's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Secured Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Secured Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) To the extent legally entitled to do so under Applicable Law, each Secured Party that is not a United States person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, at the time it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two (or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Law) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8ECI, as appropriate, to permit the Borrower or the Servicer to make payments hereunder for the account of such Secured Party without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes. Upon the obsolescence of, or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in, any form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.15(e)</u>, such Secured Party shall update such form or certificate or notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its legal inability to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Each Secured Party that is a United States person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, at the time it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two (or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Law) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 to permit the Borrower or the Servicer to make payments hereunder for the account of such Secured Party without deduction or withholding of United States federal backup withholding Taxes.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) If a payment made to a Secured Party under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Secured Party 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 Secured Party shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Secured Party has complied with such Secured Party's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Each Secured Party that is not a United States person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Upon the obsolescence of or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in, any form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to this <u>Section 2.15(h)</u>, such Secured Party shall update such form or certificate or notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its legal inability to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) If any Indemnified Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Taxes as to which indemnification or Additional Amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower or the Servicer pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.15</u>, it shall promptly remit to the Borrower or the Servicer an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); *provided* that, the Borrower or the Servicer, upon the request of the Indemnified Party, agree promptly to return such refund to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority (including any interest or penalties). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (i), in no event will the Indemnified Party be required to pay any amount to an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this paragraph (i) the payment of which would place the Indemnified Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Indemnified Party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or Additional Amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. Nothing in this <u>Section</u> <u>2.15(i)</u> shall interfere with the right of an Indemnified Party to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Indemnified Party to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or other confidential information or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Indemnified Party to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (1) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or Servicer on behalf of the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (2) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.16 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (3) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (k).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower and the Servicer hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower and the Servicer contained in this <u>Section</u> <u>2.15</u> shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Substitution of Loans</u>. On any day when no Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing (and after the earlier to occur of the Reinvestment Period End Date or the Termination Date at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), the Borrower may, subject to the conditions set forth in this <u>Section</u> <u>2.17</u> and subject to the other restrictions contained herein, replace any Loan with one or more Eligible Loans (each, a "<u>Substitute Loan</u>"); *provided* that, no such replacement shall occur unless each of the following conditions is satisfied as of the date of such replacement and substitution (as certified to the Collateral Agent by the Borrower):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Borrower or Servicer has recommended to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Custodian and the Collateral Agent) in writing that the Loan to be replaced should be replaced (each a "<u>Replaced Loan</u>");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the Administrative Agent agrees in writing in its sole discretion (subject to the consent of the Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative 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), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held on a *pro rata* basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to <u>Section</u> <u>2.23(a)(iii)</u> above), 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; and *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.

**Section 2.24. <u>Mitigation Obligations</u>.<u>.</u>** 

If any Lender requests compensation under <u>Section</u> <u>2.14</u>, or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.15</u>, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.14</u> or <u>Section</u> <u>2.15</u>, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

**Section 2.25. <u>Replacement of Lenders</u><u>.</u>** 

If any Lender requests compensation under <u>Section</u> <u>2.14</u>, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.15</u>, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender hereunder, or if any Lender does not consent to any amendment or modification (including in the form of a consent or

------

waiver) pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>13.1</u> and such Lender's consent is required for such amendment or modification (so long as at the time of such replacement, each such replacement Lender consents to such amendment or modification), then the Borrower may, within 90 days of such Lender's request for compensation, such Lender's becoming a Defaulting Lender or such Lender's withholding of such consent required pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>13.1</u>, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender (other than the Designated Lender as to which the terms of this <u>Section</u> <u>2.25</u> which relate to such Lender not consenting to any amendment or modification shall not apply) to (x) assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, <u>Section</u> <u>13.5</u>), 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 another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) or (y) terminate all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and reduce the aggregate Commitments outstanding; *provided* that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) (i) if such Lender's Commitments have been assigned pursuant to clause (x) above, such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) or (ii) if such Lender's Commitments have been terminated pursuant to clause (y) above, such Lender shall have received payment of all such amounts payable to it hereunder from the Borrower;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) in the case of any such assignment, delegation or termination resulting from a claim for compensation under <u>Section</u> <u>2.14</u> or payments required to be made pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.15</u>, such assignment, delegation or termination will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) such assignment, delegation or termination does not conflict with Applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Waiver</u>.

It is acknowledged and agreed for purposes of this <u>Article</u> <u>VI</u> (including <u>Section</u> <u>6.5</u> hereof) that in circumstances in which a Person other than the Borrower or the Servicer acts as lead agent with respect to any Loan, the Servicer shall perform its servicing duties hereunder only to the extent that, as a lender under the related loan syndication Underlying Instruments, it has the right to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any Indebtedness owed by it to the Borrower shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, be applied as a collection of a payment by such Obligor (starting with the oldest such outstanding payment due) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

**Section 6.3. <u>Authorization of the Servicer</u>.<u>.</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby authorizes the Servicer (including any successor thereto) to take any and all reasonable steps in its name (or in the name of a Portfolio Subsidiary with respect to any REO Asset) and on its behalf necessary or desirable in the determination of the Servicer and not inconsistent with the pledge of the Collateral by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, hereunder, to collect all amounts due under any and all Collateral, including, without limitation, endorsing any of their names on checks and other instruments representing Collections, executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or

------

discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral and, after the delinquency of any Collateral and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as the Servicer could have done if it had continued to own such Collateral. The Borrower and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall furnish the Servicer (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Servicer to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectability of the Collateral. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make the Secured Parties, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Lender a party to any litigation without such party's express prior written consent, or to make the Borrower a party to any litigation (other than any foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent's and each Lender's consent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) After the declaration of the Termination Date and the expiration of the Servicer Purchase Right Period, at the direction of the Administrative Agent and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, the Servicer shall take such action as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Collateral; *provided* that, the Administrative Agent may, at any time that a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, notify any Obligor with respect to any Collateral of the assignment of such Collateral to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or account designated by the Collateral Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may enforce collection of any such Collateral, and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.

**Section 6.4. <u>Collection of Payments; Accounts</u>.<u>.</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Collection Efforts, Modification of Collateral</u>. The Servicer will use its commercially reasonable efforts, on behalf of the Borrower, to collect or cause to be collected all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Loans included in the Collateral as and when the same become due in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Taxes and other Amounts</u>. The Servicer will use its commercially reasonable efforts, on behalf of the Borrower, to collect all payments with respect to amounts due for Taxes, assessments and insurance premiums relating to each Loan to the extent required to be paid to the Borrower for such application under the Underlying Instrument and remit such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or insurer as required by the Underlying Instruments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Payments to Collection Account</u>. On or before the applicable Funding Date, with respect to any Loan being acquired by the Borrower on such Funding Date, the Servicer shall have instructed all Obligors to make all payments in respect of the Collateral directly to the Collection Account; *provided* that, the Servicer will transfer to the applicable Collection Account (in accordance with <u>Section</u> <u>2.10</u>) any payments received by it directly from any Obligor no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Accounts</u>. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (i) each Account is intended to be a "securities account" or "deposit account" within the meaning of the UCC and (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein and subject to the terms of the Securities Account Control Agreement, the Borrower shall be exclusively entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each Financial Asset held in each Account which is a securities account and have the right to direct the disposition of funds in any Account which is a deposit account. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees to cause the Collateral Custodian or any other Securities Intermediary that holds any money or other property for the Borrower in an Account to agree with the parties hereto that (A) any property other than cash (subject to <u>Section</u> <u>6.4(e)</u> below with respect to any property other than investment property, as defined in Section 9-102(a)(49) of the UCC) is to be treated as a Financial Asset under Article 8 of the UCC, (B) all cash shall be credited to the applicable deposit account and (C) the "securities intermediary's jurisdiction" (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) for that purpose shall be the state of New York.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Underlying Instruments</u>. Notwithstanding any term hereof (or any term of the UCC that might otherwise be construed to be applicable to a "securities intermediary" as defined in the UCC) to the contrary, none of the Collateral Custodian nor any Securities Intermediary shall be under any duty or obligation in connection with the acquisition by the Borrower, or the grant by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent, of any Loan in the nature of a loan to examine or evaluate the sufficiency of the documents or instruments delivered to it by or on behalf of the Borrower under the related Underlying Instruments, or otherwise to examine the Underlying Instruments, in order to determine or compel compliance with any applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including without limitation any necessary consents). The Collateral Custodian shall hold any Instrument delivered to it evidencing any Loan granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder as custodial agent for the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Establishment of the Collection Account</u>. The Servicer shall cause to be established, on or before the Closing Date, with the Collateral Custodian, and maintained in the name of the Borrower, subject to the lien of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the accounts and/or sub-accounts designated as the "Collection Account", the "AUD Collection Account," the "CAD Collection Account", the "EUR Collection Account" and the "GBP Collection Account" under the Securities Account Control Agreement (collectively, the "<u>Collection Account</u>"), and the Servicer shall further cause to be maintained the accounts and/or sub-accounts designated as the "Principal Collection Account", the "CAD Principal Collection Account", the "EUR Principal Collection Account" and the "GBP Principal Collection Account" or the "Interest Collection Account," the "AUD Interest Collection Account," the "CAD Interest Collection Account", the "EUR Interest Collection Account" and the "GBP Interest Collection Account" under the Securities Account Control Agreement linked to and constituting part of the

For the avoidance of doubt, a separate Collection Account shall be established for each Eligible Currency, as more particularly described in the Securities Account Control Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Adjustments</u>. If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the Collection Account in respect of a Collection of a Loan and such Collection was received by the Servicer in the form of a check that is not honored for any reason or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Collection, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake. Any Scheduled Payment in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.

Funds on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account as of any date of determination may be withdrawn to fund draw requests of the relevant Obligors under any Revolving Loan or Delayed Draw Loan; *provided* that, until the earlier to occur of the Reinvestment Period End Date or the Termination Date, the amount withdrawn to fund such draw request shall not cause a Borrowing Base Deficiency. Any such draw request made by an Obligor, along with wiring instructions for the applicable Obligor, shall be forwarded by the Borrower or the Servicer to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Collateral Custodian to fund such draw request in accordance with the Underlying Instrument pertaining to such Revolving Loan or Delayed Draw Loan. As of any date of determination, any amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account that exceed (i) the aggregate of all Unfunded Exposure Equity Amounts prior to the earlier to occur of the Reinvestment Period End Date or the Termination Date and (ii) the aggregate of all Exposure Amounts following the earlier to occur of the Reinvestment Period End Date or the Termination Date, in each case shall be transferred into the Principal Collection Account as Principal Collections.

**Section 6.5. <u>Realization Upon Certain Loans</u>.<u>.</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Foreclosure</u>. The Servicer may, in its discretion and consistent with the Servicing Standard and the Underlying Instruments, foreclose upon or repossess, as applicable, or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Related Property relating to a Loan that has become subject to any default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. The Servicer will comply with the Servicing Standard and Applicable Law in realizing upon such Related Property and employ practices and procedures including reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to enforce all obligations of Obligors by foreclosing upon, repossessing and causing the sale of such Related Property at public or private sale in circumstances other than those described in the preceding sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer may cause the sale of any such Related Property to the Servicer or its Affiliates for a purchase price equal to the then fair market value thereof in accordance with the Servicing Standard. In any case in which any such Related Property has suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any repair or toward the foreclosure or repossession of such Related Property except in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Servicer will remit to the Collection Account the Recoveries received by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower in connection with the sale or disposition of Related Property relating to any Loan hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Management of REO Assets</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) If, in the reasonable business judgment of the Servicer, it becomes necessary to convert any Loan into an REO Asset in accordance with <u>Section</u> <u>6.5(a)</u>, the Servicer shall first cause the Borrower to transfer and assign such Loan (or the portion thereof owned by the Borrower) to a Portfolio Subsidiary using a contribution agreement reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Any equity interests of the Portfolio Subsidiary acquired by the Borrower shall immediately become a part of the Collateral and be subject to the grant of a security interest under <u>Section</u> <u>9.1</u> and shall be promptly delivered to the Collateral Custodian, each undated and duly Indorsed in blank. The Portfolio Subsidiary shall be formed and operated pursuant to organizational documents reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. After execution thereof, the Servicer shall prevent the Portfolio Subsidiary from agreeing to any amendment or other modification of the Portfolio Subsidiary organizational documents in a manner materially adverse to the Lenders without first obtaining the written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Servicer shall manage each Portfolio Subsidiary (i) in accordance with Applicable Law, (ii) with reasonable care and diligence, (iii) in accordance with the applicable Portfolio Subsidiary's organizational, constitutional or registration documents, (iv) in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (v) with a view toward maximizing Recoveries on the applicable REO Asset (collectively, the "<u>REO Management Standard</u>"). The Servicer will cause all "Distributable Cash" (or any comparable definition set forth in the Portfolio Subsidiary's organizational documents) to be deposited into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) In the event that title to any Related Property is acquired on behalf of a Portfolio Subsidiary for the benefit of its equity owners in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Portfolio Subsidiary. The Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each REO Asset to be managed, conserved, protected and operated solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower or the Servicer shall not (and shall not permit the Portfolio Subsidiary to) obtain title to any Related Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership interest in any Obligor pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial owner of Related Property, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Related Property if, as a result of any such action, the Portfolio Subsidiary would be considered to hold title to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an "owner" or "operator" of, such Related Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable state or local Environmental Law, unless the Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the REO Management Standard, based on an updated Phase I environmental assessment report generally prepared in accordance with the ASTM Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Standard E 1527-05 or similar standards, as may be amended or, with respect to residential property, a property inspection and title report, that, in each case except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) such Related Property is in compliance in all material respects with applicable Environmental Laws; and

------

In the event that the Phase I or other environmental assessment first obtained by the Servicer with respect to Related Property indicates that such Related Property may not be in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws or that hazardous materials may be present but does not definitively establish such fact, and such finding would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, then, the Servicer shall cause the Borrower to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly sell the related Loan in accordance with <u>Section</u> <u>2.19</u>.

**Section 6.7. <u>Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer</u>.<u>.</u>** 

The Servicer shall be required to pay its expenses (excluding Liquidation Expenses incurred as a result of activities contemplated by <u>Section</u> <u>6.5(a)</u>, which shall be reimbursed by the Borrower; *provided* that, for avoidance of doubt, to the extent Liquidation Expenses relate to a Retained Interest with respect to a Loan, such Liquidation Expenses shall be allocated *pro rata* among the Borrower and the other holders of indebtedness evidenced by the Underlying Instruments) for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than the Servicing Fee.

The indemnification obligations of the Successor Servicer upon becoming a Successor Servicer, are expressly limited to those arising on account of its failure to act in good faith and with reasonable care under the circumstances. In addition, the Successor Servicer shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Servicer contained in <u>Article</u> <u>IV</u>.

The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Borrower in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing of the Collateral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, a Successor Servicer is authorized to accept and rely on all of the accounting, records (including computer records) and work of the prior Servicer relating to the Loans (collectively, the "<u>Predecessor Servicer Work Product</u>") without any audit or other examination thereof, and such Successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions of the prior Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, "<u>Errors</u>") exist in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such Errors make it materially more difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to the Successor Servicer making or continuing any Errors (collectively, "<u>Continued Errors</u>"), such Successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for such Continued Errors; *provided* that, such Successor Servicer agrees to use its best efforts to prevent further Continued Errors. In the event that the Successor Servicer becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, it shall, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future Continued Errors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Administrative Agent deliver a Servicer Termination Notice except after the expiration of the Servicer Purchase Right Period.

**SECURITY INTEREST** 

**Section 9.1. <u>Grant of Security Interest</u>.<u>.</u>**

For such purpose, the Borrower hereby pledges, collaterally assigns and grants as of the Closing Date to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a lien and continuing security interest in all of the Borrower's right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of the obligations under) all Collateral, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired by the Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, to secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Aggregate Unpaids arising in connection with this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, including, without limitation, all Aggregate Unpaids. The grant of a security interest under this <u>Section</u> <u>9.1</u> does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of the Secured Parties of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Person in connection with any or all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral and (iii) none of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

In connection with any sale of such Collateral, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, will after the deposit by the Servicer of the Proceeds of such sale into the Collection Account, at the sole expense of the Servicer, execute and deliver to the Servicer any assignments, bills of sale, termination statements and any other releases and instruments as the Servicer may reasonably request in order to effect the release and transfer of such Collateral; *provided* that, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, will make no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such Collateral in connection with such sale or transfer and assignment. Nothing in this section shall diminish the Servicer's obligations pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>6.5</u> with respect to the Proceeds of any such sale.

**Section 9.3. <u>Further Assurances</u>.<u>.</u>** 

The provisions of <u>Section</u> <u>13.12</u> shall apply to the security interest granted under <u>Section</u> <u>9.1</u> as well as to the Advances hereunder.

**Section 9.5. <u>Waiver of Certain Laws</u>.<u>.</u>** 

Each of the Borrower and the Servicer agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each of the Borrower and the Servicer, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent on its behalf or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such parcels as the Collateral Agent or such court may determine.

**Section 9.6. <u>Power of Attorney</u>.<u>.</u>** 

Each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for (and subject to the terms and conditions set forth) in this Agreement following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event, including without limitation the following powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Borrower and the Servicer hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (d) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or a Lender, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such Lender all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request.

Lenders shall have no obligation to advance any amounts hereunder in connection with the acquisition of such Loan and the Borrower shall not apply any amounts on deposit in the Principal Collections Account to the acquisition of such Loan, and (y) the Borrower shall not acquire such Loan if such action would worsen an existing Termination Event or cause the occurrence of a Termination Event), (ii) the Administrative Agent or all of the Lenders may declare the Advances to be immediately due and payable in full (without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower) and any other Aggregate Unpaids to be immediately due and payable, and (iii) all proceeds and distributions in respect of the Related Security shall be distributed by the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative Agent) as described in <u>Section</u> <u>2.9</u> (*provided* that, the Borrower shall in any event remain liable to pay such Advances and all such amounts and Aggregate Unpaids immediately in accordance with <u>Section</u> <u>2.9</u>). In addition, upon any such declaration or upon any such automatic occurrence, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties and at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction and other Applicable Law, which rights shall be cumulative. Without limiting any obligation of the Servicer hereunder, the Borrower confirms and agrees that the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties and at the direction of the Administrative Agent, (or any designee thereof, including, without limitation, the Servicer), following a Termination Event, shall, at its option, have the sole right to enforce the Borrower's rights and remedies under each Assigned Document, but without any obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower under any such Assigned Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to sell all of the Collateral on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for the assets constituting the Collateral may not be liquid. Accordingly, the Administrative Agent may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any of the Collateral, and nothing contained herein shall obligate the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) to liquidate any of the Collateral on the date the Administrative Agent or all of the Lenders declare the Advances made to the Borrower hereunder to be immediately due and payable pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>10.2</u> or to liquidate all of the Collateral in the same manner or on the same Business Day.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Any amounts received from any sale or liquidation of the Collateral pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>10.2</u> in excess of the Aggregate Unpaids will be applied by the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent) in accordance with the provisions of <u>Section</u> <u>2.9</u>, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Termination Event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Without limiting any other rights that any such Person may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Secured Parties, the Affected Parties and each of their respective Affiliates, assigns and officers, directors, employees and agents thereof (collectively, the "<u>Indemnified Parties</u>"), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as the "<u>Indemnified Amounts</u>") awarded against or incurred by such Indemnified Party and other non-monetary damages of any such Indemnified Party or any of them arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or having an interest in the Collateral or in respect of any Loan included in the Collateral, excluding, however, any Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting solely from (x) gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party or (y) in respect of Taxes (other than those described in <u>clause</u> <u>(xiii)</u> of this <u>Section</u> <u>11.1(a)</u> or Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this <u>Section</u> <u>11.1</u> shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.7</u> or <u>2.8</u>, as applicable, on the Payment Date following such Person's demand therefor (if given at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Payment Date, and, if not, on the next subsequent Payment Date) on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party (and the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amounts). The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Indemnified Party making a request for indemnification under this <u>Section</u> <u>11.1</u>, shall submit to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of the Indemnified Amounts with respect to which such indemnification is requested, which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this <u>Section</u> <u>11.1</u> is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; *provided* that, the Borrower shall not be required to contribute in respect of any Indemnified Amounts excluded in <u>Section</u> <u>11.1(a)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If the Borrower has made any indemnity payments to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of an Indemnified Party, pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>11.1</u> and such payment fully indemnified such Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any payments from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts, then such Indemnified Party will repay to the Borrower an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The obligations of the Borrower under this <u>Section</u> <u>11.1</u> shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this <u>Section</u> <u>11.1</u> or otherwise in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, the Borrower shall not be liable to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, any of the Secured Parties or any other Person for any consequential (including loss of profit), indirect, special or punitive damages under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower's<u>Borrower's</u> indemnification obligations hereunder to the extent such damages are included in a third party claim in connection with which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

**Section 11.2. <u>Indemnities by the Servicer</u>.<u>.</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Without limiting any other rights that any such Person may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party, forthwith on demand, from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred by any such Indemnified Party by reason of any acts or omissions of the Servicer in connection with its obligations or duties under this Agreement, excluding however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this <u>Section</u> <u>11.2</u> shall be paid by the Servicer to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Servicer of the Administrative Agent's written demand therefor on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party (and the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amounts). The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Indemnified Party making a request for indemnification under this <u>Section</u> <u>11.2</u>, shall submit to the Servicer a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of the Indemnified Amounts with respect to which such indemnification is requested, which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in <u>Section</u> <u>11.2</u> is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Servicer on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; *provided* that, the Servicer shall not be required to contribute in respect of any Indemnified Amounts excluded in <u>Section</u> <u>11.2(a)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of an Indemnified Party, pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>11.2</u> and such payment fully indemnified such Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any payments from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts, then such Indemnified Party will repay to the Servicer an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Servicer shall have no liability for making indemnification hereunder to the extent any such indemnification constitutes recourse for uncollectible or uncollected Loans.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The obligations of the Servicer under this <u>Section</u> <u>11.2</u> shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Any indemnification pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>11.2</u> shall not be payable from the Collateral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The provisions of this indemnity shall run directly to and be enforceable by an injured party subject to the limitations hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Notwithstanding anything contained in this <u>Section</u> <u>11.2</u> or otherwise in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, the Servicer shall not be liable to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, any of the Secured Parties or any other Person for any consequential (including loss of profit), indirect, special or punitive damages under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Servicer's indemnification obligations hereunder to the extent such damages are included in a third party claim in connection with which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer shall have no liability for making indemnification hereunder to the extent resulting solely from the performance or non-performance of the Loans (including without limitation any change in the market value of such Loan) or any loss in value of any Permitted Investment.

Each applicable Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party under <u>Section</u> <u>11.1</u> and <u>Section</u> <u>11.2</u>, within a reasonable time after such Indemnified Party's receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by such Indemnified Party relating to the claim giving rise to the Indemnified Amounts. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 11.2 shall not apply to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

**Section 11.3. <u>Legal Proceedings</u>.<u>.</u>** 

In the event an Indemnified Party becomes involved in any action, claim, or legal, governmental or administrative proceeding (an "<u>Action</u>") for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other party or parties against whom it seeks indemnification (the "<u>Indemnifying Party</u>") in writing of the nature and particulars of the Action; *provided* that, its failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure has a Material Adverse Effect on the Indemnifying Party. Upon written notice to the Indemnified Party acknowledging in writing that the indemnification provided hereunder applies to the Indemnified Party in connection with the Action (subject to the exclusion in the first sentence of <u>Section</u> <u>11.1</u>, the first sentence of <u>Section</u> <u>11.2</u> or <u>Section</u> <u>11.2(d)</u>, as applicable), the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of the Action at its expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel in connection with the Action, and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party after the Indemnifying Party has done so; *provided* that, if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the Action, or that the Indemnifying Party is not conducting the defense

------

of the Action in a manner reasonably protective of the interests of the Indemnified Party, the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; *provided further* that, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one Action or separate but substantially similar or related Actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (and any required local counsel) for such Indemnified Party, which firm (and local counsel, if any) shall be designated in writing to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Action, it shall have full control over the conduct of such defense; *provided* that, the Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall, as reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party or its counsel, consult with and keep them informed with respect to the conduct of such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle an Action without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement provides for the full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in connection with the Action. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Action.

**Section 11.4. <u>After</u><u>-Tax Basis</u>.<u>.</u>** 

Indemnification under <u>Section</u> <u>11.1</u> and <u>Section</u> <u>11.2</u> shall be in an amount necessary to make the Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any Tax consequences to the Indemnified Party of the receipt of the indemnity payment provided hereunder, including the effect of such Tax or refund on the amount of Tax measured by net income or profits that is or was payable by the Indemnified Party.

**ARTICLE XII.** 

**THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT** 

**Section 12.1. <u>The Administrative Agent</u>.<u>.</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Appointment</u>. Each Lender and each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent and hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each of the Lenders and each Secured Party. Each Lender and each Secured Party further authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or appropriate or that a Secured Party may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution by the Collateral Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Collateral now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere

------

in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term "agent" in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Delegation of Duties</u>. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact (in each case, prior to the occurrence and continuation of a Termination Event, that are not Prohibited Transferees) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Administrative Agent's Reliance, Etc</u>. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Lender and each Secured Party hereby waives any and all claims against the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Servicer), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or representations made by any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the Borrower or the Servicer or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or the Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Actions by Administrative Agent</u>. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Lenders; *provided* that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. In the event the Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten (10) Business Days of such Person's receipt of such request, then such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Notice of Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event or Servicer Default</u>. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event or Servicer Default, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender, the Borrower or the Servicer referring to this Agreement, describing such Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event or Servicer Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Termination Event," "Notice of Unmatured Termination Event" or "Notice of Servicer Default," as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to <u>Section</u> <u>12.1(c)</u>) take such action with respect to such Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event or Servicer Default as may be requested by the Lenders acting jointly or as the Administrative Agent shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Credit Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent</u>. Each Lender and each Secured Party acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates or review or approval of any of the Collateral, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender and Secured Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent's Affiliates, and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender and Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent's Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender and each Secured Party hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Indemnification of the Administrative Agent</u>. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Servicer), ratably in accordance the Pro Rata Share of its related Lender from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder; *provided* that, the Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct *provided further* that, no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this <u>Article</u> <u>XII</u>. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Share of its related Lender promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Lenders hereunder and/or thereunder and to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or the Servicer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Successor Administrative Agent</u>. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time, effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, by giving at least thirty (30) days' written notice thereof to each Lender and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall (provided that no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, subject to the consent of the Borrower) appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Each Lender agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent shall be either (i) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (ii) an Affiliate of such a bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this <u>Article</u> <u>XII</u> shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Payments by the Administrative Agent</u>. Unless specifically allocated to a specific Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders in accordance with such Lender's respective Pro Rata Share in the applicable Advances Outstanding, or if there are no Advances Outstanding in accordance with such Lender's most recent Commitments, on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such Business Day, in which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to each Lender on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such Lender not later than the following Business Day.

**Section 12.2. <u>Reserved</u>.<u>.</u>** 

**Section 12.3. <u>Erroneous Payments</u>.<u>.</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each Lender, each other Secured Party and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or any other Secured Party (or any Affiliate of a Secured Party) or any other Person that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent has determined in its sole discretion that such Person has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Secured Party or other Person (each such recipient, a "<u>Payment Recipient</u>") from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any of their Affiliates that were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any of their Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any of their Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any of their Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in <u>clauses (i)</u> or <u>(ii)</u> of this <u>Section</u> <u>12.3</u>, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an "<u>Erroneous Payment</u>") then such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; *provided* that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to provide any of the notices specified in <u>clauses (i)</u> or <u>(ii)</u> above. Each Payment Recipient shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in writing of such occurrence.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf shall cause such Payment Recipient to), promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an "<u>Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency</u>"), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and upon the Administrative Agent's written notice to such Payment Recipient (i) such Payment Recipient shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent's or the Collateral Agent's lending affiliate, in a principal amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments), the "<u>Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment</u>") at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any further payment by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or its lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. As to any Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of <u>Section</u> <u>13.16</u>. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrower (except to the extent that the funds used to make such Erroneous Payment were received from the Borrower as repayment of such Obligations, including any payments made from Collections for such purpose pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.7</u> or <u>2.8</u>) or any other Secured Party and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time

------

credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Aggregate Unpaids, the Aggregate Unpaids or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received (except to the extent that the funds used to make such Erroneous Payment were received from the Borrower as the repayment of such Obligations, including any payments made from Collections for such purpose pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.7</u> or <u>2.8</u>).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Each Payment Recipient hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Transaction Documents, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>12.3</u> or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Each party's obligations under this <u>Section</u> <u>12.3</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document. Solely for purposes of this <u>Section</u> <u>12.3</u>, each of the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary are excluded from the definition of "Secured Party."

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement.

The Borrower shall not assign or delegate, or grant any interest in, or permit any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) to exist upon, any of the Borrower's rights, obligations or duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (1) a Lender shall not need prior consent of the Borrower to consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey or transfer substantially all of its properties and assets, including without limitation any Advance (or portion thereof), to any Person (provided that, prior to the occurrence and continuation of a Termination Event, such Person is not a Prohibited Transferee) and (2) if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, unless such Lender shall have been deemed to no longer be a Defaulting Lender pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.23(b)</u>, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to cause such Person to assign its entire interest in the Advances and this Agreement to a transferee selected by the Administrative Agent, in an assignment which satisfies the conditions set forth in the first sentence of this <u>Section</u> <u>13.16(a)</u>.

The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. If a Lender sells a participation, such Lender 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 under the Transaction Documents (the "<u>Participant Register</u>"); *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 commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed Treasury Regulations.

------

payment under <u>Sections 2.14</u> or <u>2.15</u>, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from either (i) the introduction of or any change following the date the participant acquired the applicable participation (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any Applicable Law by any Governmental Authority or (ii) the compliance by such participant with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made or issued after the date the participant acquired the applicable participation (whether or not having the force of law).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this <u>Section</u> <u>13.16</u>, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; *provided* that, no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.
