ARTICLE 2.

ESTABLISHMENT OF ISSUER; TRANSFER OF LOAN ASSETS

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

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

     (b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Trust Depositor hereby
sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Issuer, for a purchase price
consisting of $738,000,000 in cash (less placement expenses and certain other expenses associated
with the initial offer and sale of the Offered Notes the proceeds of which represent the
consideration paid by the Issuer herein), $34,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Class E
Notes, $28,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Class F Notes, and the Certificate, all the
right, title and interest of the Trust Depositor in and to the Initial Loan Assets.

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

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

     (d) The sale, transfer, assignment, set-over and conveyance of the Loan Assets by the Trust
Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute and is not intended to
result in a creation or an assumption by the Trust Depositor or the Issuer of any obligation of the
Originator in connection with the Loan Assets, or any agreement or instrument relating thereto,
including, without limitation, any obligation to any Obligor, if any, not financed by the
Originator, or (i) any taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority and (ii)
any insurance premiums that remain owing with respect to any Loan at the time such Loan is

66

 

sold hereunder. The Trust Depositor also hereby assigns to the Issuer all of the Trust
Depositor’s right, title and interest (but none of its obligations) under the Loan Sale Agreement,
including but not limited to the Trust Depositor’s right to exercise the remedies created by the
Loan Sale Agreement.

     (e) The Originator, Trust Depositor and Issuer intend and agree that (i) the transfer of the
Loan Assets to the Trust Depositor and the transfer of the Loan Assets to the Issuer hereunder are
intended to be a sale, conveyance and transfer of ownership of the Loan Assets, as the case may be,
rather than the mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing and (ii) such Loan
Assets, as applicable, shall not be part of the Originator’s or the Trust Depositor’s estate in the
event of a filing of a bankruptcy petition or other action by or against such Person under any
Insolvency Law. In the event, however, that notwithstanding such intent and agreement, such
transfers are deemed to be a mere granting of a security interest to secure indebtedness, the
Originator shall be deemed to have granted (and as of the Closing Date hereby grants to) the Trust
Depositor and the Trust Depositor shall be deemed to have granted (and as of the Closing Date
hereby grants to) the Issuer, as the case may be, a perfected first priority security interest in
such Loan Assets respectively and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
Applicable Law, securing the repayment of the purchase price paid hereunder, the obligations and/or
interests represented by the Notes, in the order and priorities, and subject to the other terms and
conditions of, this Agreement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement, together with such other
obligations or interests as may arise hereunder and thereunder in favor of the parties hereto and
thereto.

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

     Section 2.02. Conditions to Transfer of Initial Loan Assets to Issuer.

Agreement upon the trust herein and therein set forth.

period of time as mutually agreed between the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer) prior to the
applicable Transfer Date (with copies to be held by the Servicer) on behalf of and for the account
of the Securityholders. The Originator and the Trust Depositor shall also identify on the List of
Loans (including any deemed amendment thereof associated with any Substitute Loans), whether by
attached schedule or marking or other effective identifying designation, all Loans that are or are
evidenced by such instruments. With respect to each Loan in the Loan Pool on or before the related
Transfer Date the Trust Depositor will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee,
to the extent not previously delivered, each of the documents in the Loan File with respect to such
Loan.

     Section 2.08. Optional Purchase by the Servicer of Certain Loans; Limitations on
Substitution and Repurchase.

     (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.08(b), the Servicer shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to substitute or repurchase any (i) Charged–Off Loan, (ii)
Delinquent Loan, (iii) Loan that has a material covenant default, (iv) Loan which has become
subject to a Material Modification or (v) Loan that has become subject to a Specified Amendment.
In the event of a repurchase, the Servicer shall deposit in the Principal and Interest Account, on
the next succeeding Determination Date, an amount equal to the Repurchase Amount for such Loan (or
applicable portion thereof) as of the date of such purchase. The Servicer, the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments, consents or other documents and
perform all acts reasonably requested by the Servicer in order to effect the transfer and release
of any of the Issuer’s interests in the Loans that are being purchased.

     (b) In no event may the aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of all Loans purchased pursuant to
Section 2.08(a) or substituted pursuant to Section 2.04, exceed an amount equal to
20% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance; provided that the aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of all
(i) Charged-Off Loans, (ii) Delinquent Loans, (iii) Loans that have a material covenant default and
(iv) Loans subject to an amendment, modification, termination, release or similar undertaking
entered into for reasons relating to the applicable Obligor’s inability to pay principal or
interest, which are the subject of an optional repurchase or substitution by the Servicer may not
exceed an amount equal to 10% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance. For the avoidance of doubt, there
is no limitation on the aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of Ineligible Loans which may be subject
to mandatory repurchase or substitution pursuant to Section 11.01.

     Section 2.09. Certification by Indenture Trustee; Possession of Loan Files.

     (a) Review; Certification. On or prior to the applicable Transfer Date, the Indenture
Trustee shall review the portion of the Loan File required to be delivered pursuant to Section
2.07 and shall deliver to the Originator, the Trust Depositor and the Servicer a certification
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L–1 on or prior to such Transfer Date. Within two
Business Days after the Indenture Trustee receives the portion of the Loan File permitted to be
delivered after the applicable Transfer Date pursuant to Section 2.07, the Indenture
Trustee shall deliver to the Originator, the Trust Depositor and the Servicer a certification in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit L–1. Within 360 days after each Transfer Date (or,
with respect to any Substitute Loan, within 360 days after the assignment thereof), the Indenture
Trustee shall deliver to the Originator, the Servicer, the Trust Depositor, S&P and any Noteholder
who requests a copy from the Indenture Trustee a final certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit L–2 evidencing the completeness of the Loan Files with respect to the Loans being
transferred on such Transfer Date.

     (b) Non-Conforming Loan Files. If the Indenture Trustee during the process of
reviewing the Loan Files finds any document constituting a part of a Loan File which is not
properly executed, has not been received, is unrelated to a Loan identified in the List of Loans,
or does not conform in a material respect to the requirements of the definition of Loan File, or
the description thereof as set forth in the List of Loans, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly so

73

 

notify the Originator, the Trust Depositor and the Servicer. In performing any such review,
the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on the Originator as to the purported genuineness of
any such document and any signature thereon. It is understood that the scope of the Indenture
Trustee’s review of the Loan Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents listed in the
definition of Loan File have been executed and received and relate to the Loans identified in the
List of Loans; provided that with respect to the UCC financing statements referenced in clause
(a)(iii) of the definition of Required Loan Documents, the Indenture Trustee’s sole
responsibility will be to confirm that the Loan File contains UCC financing statements and not to
make determinations about the materiality of such UCC financing statements. For the avoidance of
doubt, the scope of the Indenture Trustee review shall not include the verification of the
Outstanding Principal Balance of any Loan. The Originator agrees to use reasonable efforts to
remedy a material defect in a document constituting part of a Loan File of which it is so notified
by the Indenture Trustee. If, however, within 30 days after the Indenture Trustee’s notice to it
respecting such material defect the Originator has not remedied the defect and such defect
materially and adversely affects the value of the related Loan, such Loan will be treated as an
“Ineligible Loan” and the Originator will (i) substitute in lieu of such Loan a Substitute Loan in
the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 11.01 or (ii) repurchase such
Loan at a purchase price equal to the Repurchase Amount, which purchase price shall be deposited in
the Principal and Interest Account within such 30 day period.

     (c) Release of Entire Loan File Upon Substitution or Repurchase. Subject to
Section 5.08(a), upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a certification of a Servicing
Officer of the Servicer of such substitution or of such purchase and the deposit of the amounts
then required to be deposited as described in Section 2.08 or Section 2.09(b), as
applicable, in the Principal and Interest Account (which certification shall be in the form of
Exhibit M hereto), the Indenture Trustee shall release to the Servicer for release to the
Originator the related Loan File and the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer shall execute, without
recourse, and deliver such instruments of transfer necessary to transfer all right, title and
interest in such Loan to the Originator free and clear of any Liens created by the Transaction
Documents. All costs of any such transfer shall be borne by the Originator.

     (d) Partial Release of Loan File and/or Collateral. Subject to Section
5.08(b), if in connection with taking any action in connection with a Loan (including, without
limitation, the amendment to documents in the Loan File and/or a revision to Related Property) the
Servicer requires any item constituting part of the Loan File, or the release from the Lien of the
related Loan of all or part of any Related Property, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture
Trustee a certificate to such effect in the form attached as Exhibit M hereto. Subject to
Section 5.08(d), upon receipt of such certification, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to
the Servicer within two Business Days of such request (if such request was received by 2:00 p.m.,
central time), the requested documentation, and the Indenture Trustee shall execute, without
recourse, and deliver such instruments of transfer necessary to release all or the requested part
of the Related Property from the Lien of the related Loan and/or the Lien under the Transaction
Documents.

     (e) Annual Certification. On the Payment Date in April of each year, commencing April
21, 2008, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Originator, the Trust Depositor and the
Servicer a certification detailing all transactions with respect to the Loans for which the
Indenture Trustee holds the Loan Files pursuant to this Agreement during the prior calendar year.

74

 

Such certification shall list all Loan Files which were released by or returned to the
Indenture Trustee during the prior calendar year, the date of such release or return and the reason
for such release or return.

ARTICLE 3.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     The Trust Depositor makes, and upon execution of each Subsequent Purchase Agreement is deemed
to make, the representations and warranties in Sections 3.01, 3.02, and
3.04 and on the Closing Date, the Trust Depositor makes the representations and warranties
in Sections 3.01 through 3.04, on which the Issuer will rely in purchasing the
Initial Loan Assets on the Closing Date (and any Substitute Loans on any Subsequent Transfer Date),
and on which the Securityholders will rely.

     Such representations and warranties are given as of the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and as of the Closing Date (or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable), but shall
survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Loan Assets to the Issuer. The repurchase
obligation or substitution obligation of the Trust Depositor set forth in Section 11.01
constitutes the sole remedy available for a breach of a representation or warranty of the Trust
Depositor set forth in Section 3.01 through Section 3.04 of this Agreement. Except
as otherwise provided in Section 2.04(d)(viii), the Trust Depositor shall not be deemed to
be remaking any of the representations set forth in Section 3.03 on a Subsequent Transfer
Date with respect to the Substitute Loans as such representations relate solely to the composition
of the Initial Loans conveyed on the Closing Date.

     Section 3.01. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Trust Depositor.

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

     (a) Organization and Good Standing. The Trust Depositor is a limited liability
company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and has
the power to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged. The
Trust Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity and is in good standing in
each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it or properties owned or
leased by it requires such qualification and in which the failure so to qualify would have a
material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise)
of the Trust Depositor or the Issuer.

     (b) Authorization; Valid Sale; Binding Obligations. The Trust Depositor has the power
and authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party and all of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and to create the Issuer and cause it to
make, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which the Issuer is a party, and the Trust Depositor has taken all

75

 

necessary limited liability company action to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to
cause the Issuer to be created. This Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement, if any,
shall effect a valid sale, transfer and assignment of or grant a security interest in the Loan
Assets from the Trust Depositor to the Issuer, enforceable against the Trust Depositor and
creditors of and purchasers from the Trust Depositor. This Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which the Trust Depositor is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Trust Depositor enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement
of such terms may be limited by applicable Insolvency Laws and general principles of equity,
whether considered in a suit at law or in equity.

     (c) No Consent Required. The Trust Depositor is not required to obtain the consent of
any other party (other than those that it has already obtained) or any consent, license, approval
or authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any Governmental Authority (other than
those that it has already obtained) in connection with the execution, delivery, performance,
validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which it is a
party.

     (d) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents to which it is a party by the Trust Depositor, and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will not violate any Applicable Law applicable to
the Trust Depositor, or conflict with, result in a default under or constitute a breach of the
Trust Depositor’s organizational documents or Contractual Obligations to which the Trust Depositor
is a party or by which the Trust Depositor or any of the Trust Depositor’s properties may be bound,
or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien of any kind upon any of its properties pursuant
to the terms of any such Contractual Obligations, other than as contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.

     (e) Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court,
tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the knowledge of the Trust Depositor
threatened, against the Trust Depositor or any of its properties or with respect to this Agreement,
the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the Securities (i) that, if adversely
determined, would in the reasonable judgment of the Trust Depositor be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Trust Depositor or the Issuer or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents to which the Trust Depositor is a party or (ii) seeking to adversely affect
the federal income tax or other federal, state or local tax attributes of the Certificate or Notes.

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

     (g) Taxes. The Trust Depositor has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which,
to its knowledge, are required to be filed and has put all taxes shown to be due and payable on
such returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees
or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any
amount of tax due, the validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and with respect to which reserves in accordance with generally

76

 

accepted accounting principles have been provided on the books of the Trust Depositor); no tax
Lien has been filed and, to the Trust Depositor’s knowledge, no claim is being asserted, with
respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

     (h) Place of Business; No Changes. The Trust Depositor’s location (within the meaning
of Article 9 of the UCC) is the State of Delaware. The Trust Depositor has not changed its name,
whether by amendment of its certificate of formation, by reorganization or otherwise, and has not
changed its location within the four months preceding the Closing Date.

     (i) Not an Investment Company. The Trust Depositor is not and, after giving effect to
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, will not be required to be registered
as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act.

     (j) Sale Treatment. Other than for tax and accounting purposes, the Trust Depositor
has treated the transfer of Loan Assets to the Trust Depositor for all purposes as a sale and
purchase on all of its relevant books and records and other applicable documents.

     (k) Security Interest.

     (i) This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest in favor of the
Issuer (as defined in the applicable UCC) in all right, title and interest of Trust
Depositor in the Loan Assets, which security interest is prior to all other Liens (except
for Permitted Liens), and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from
the Trust Depositor;

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

     (iii) the Trust Depositor owns and has, and upon the sale and transfer thereof by the
Trust Depositor to the Issuer, the Issuer will have, good and marketable title to the Loan
Assets free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens), claim or encumbrance of any
Person;

     (iv) the Trust Depositor has received all consents and approvals required by the terms
of the Loan Assets to the sale of the Loan Assets hereunder to the Issuer;

     (v) the Trust Depositor has caused the filing of all appropriate financing statements
in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order
to perfect the security interest in such Loan Assets granted to the Issuer under this
Agreement;

     (vi) other than the security interest granted to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement,
the Trust Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in or
otherwise conveyed any of such Loan Assets. The Trust Depositor has not authorized the
filing of and is not aware of any financing statements naming the Trust Depositor as debtor
that include a description of collateral covering such Loan Assets other than any financing
statement (A) relating to the security interest granted to the Trust

77

 

Depositor under the Loan Sale Agreement, or (B) that has been terminated. The Trust
Depositor is not aware of the filing of any judgment or tax Lien filings against the Trust
Depositor;

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

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

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

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

     (m) Investment Company. Neither the Issuer nor the Loan Pool is, nor after giving
effect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, will be required to be
registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the 1940 Act.

     (n) No Defaults. The Trust Depositor is not in default with respect to any order or
decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or
governmental agency, which default might have consequences that would materially and adversely
affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Trust Depositor or its
respective properties or might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect its
performance hereunder.

     (o) Bulk Transfer Laws. The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Loans by the
Trust Depositor pursuant to this Agreement are not subject to the bulk transfer laws or any similar
statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.

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

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

78

 

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

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

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

The representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01(k) may not be waived by any
Person and shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The Trust Depositor and Issuer (i)
shall not, without satisfaction of the S&P Rating Condition with respect thereto, waive any breach
of the representations and warranties in Section 3.01(k), and (ii) shall provide S&P with
prompt written notice of any breach of the representations and warranties set out in Section
3.01(k).

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

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

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

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

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

     (d) Underlying Custodial Agreements. With respect to each Pooled Obligor Loan, the
underlying loan documents and other collateral pledged by the Underlying Debtors is held by

79

 

an Underlying Custodian for the benefit of the Originator and its assignees. The Originator’s
rights under each such Underlying Custodial Agreement are fully assignable and have been assigned
by it to the Trust Depositor, and assigned by the Trust Depositor to the Issuer in connection with
the transfer of the Loan Assets.

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

     (a) Amounts. The sum of the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of the Initial Loans
as of the Cut-Off Date equals the aggregate principal balance of the Class A Notes, the Class B
Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes, the Class E Notes and the Class F Notes.

     (b) Characteristics. The Trust Depositor represents and warrants, on the Closing
Date, that as of the Initial Cut-Off Date, the Initial Loans have the following additional
characteristics: (i) no Loan has a remaining maturity of more than 84 months; (ii) the date of the
final Scheduled Payment on the Loan with the latest maturity is not later than the date that is 36
months prior to the Final Maturity Date; and (iii) none of the Initial Loans provide for Scheduled
Payments of interest due on a basis other than monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually.

     Section 3.04. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Loan Files.

     The Trust Depositor represents and warrants on the Closing Date with respect to the Initial
Loans (or as of the Subsequent Transfer Date, with respect to Substitute Loans), that (i) to the
extent any such Loans were pledged under the Warehouse Facilities or any Prior Term Transaction,
immediately prior to such date (as applicable), the Originator and/or a collateral custodian under
the Warehouse Facilities or such Prior Term Transaction had possession of each original Underlying
Note (except in the case of Noteless Loans) and the related complete Loan File, and there were no
other custodial agreements relating to the same in effect and (ii) except as otherwise provided in
Section 2.07, the complete Loan File for each Loan is in the possession of the Indenture
Trustee.

     Section 3.05.  [Reserved].

     Section 3.06. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Servicer.

     The Servicer represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the
Securityholders that:

organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization and has the limited liability company power to own its assets and to transact the
business in which it is currently engaged. The Servicer is duly qualified to do business as a
foreign limited liability company and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the
character of the business transacted by it or properties owned or leased by it requires such
qualification and in which the failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on the
business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Servicer or the Issuer.
The Servicer is properly licensed in each jurisdiction to the extent required by the laws of such
jurisdiction to service the Loans in accordance with the terms hereof and in which the failure to

80

 

so qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Servicer or Issuer.

     (b) Authorization; Binding Obligations. The Servicer has the power and authority to
make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the
Servicer is a party and all of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party, and has taken all necessary corporate
action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party. This Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which the Servicer is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of
the Servicer enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement of such terms may be
limited by Insolvency Laws and general principles of equity, whether considered in a suit at law or
in equity.

     (c) No Consent Required. The Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of any
other party (other than those that it has already obtained) or any consent, license, approval or
authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any Governmental Authority (other than
those that it has already obtained) in connection with the execution, delivery, performance,
validity or enforceability of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the
Servicer is a party.

     (d) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party by the Servicer will not violate any
Applicable Law applicable to the Servicer, or conflict with, result in a default under or
constitute a breach of the Servicer’s organizational documents or any Contractual Obligations to
which the Servicer is a party or by which the Servicer or any of the Servicer’s properties may be
bound, or result in the creation of or imposition of any Lien of any kind upon any of its
properties pursuant to the terms of any such Contractual Obligations, other than as contemplated by
the Transaction Documents.

     (e) Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court,
tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the knowledge of the Servicer threatened,
against the Servicer or any of its properties or with respect to this Agreement, or any other
Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party that, if adversely determined, would in the
reasonable judgment of the Servicer be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business,
properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Servicer or the Issuer or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the Servicer
is a party.

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

     Section 3.07. Representations and Warranties of the Backup Servicer.

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

81

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

the Indenture Trustee’s first priority perfected security interest in the Loan Assets against all
other Persons, including, without limitation, the filing of financing statements, amendments
thereto and continuation statements, the execution of transfer instruments and the making of
notations on or taking possession of all records or documents of title. Notwithstanding the
obligations of the Originator, Trust Depositor and Servicer set forth in the preceding sentence,
the Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicer to prepare and file, at the expense of the Servicer, UCC
financing statements (including but not limited to renewal, continuation or in lieu statements) and
amendments or supplements thereto or other instruments as the Servicer may from time to time deem
necessary or appropriate in order to perfect and maintain the security interest granted hereunder
in accordance with the UCC.

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

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

     (b) If any change in either the Servicer’s, the Originator’s or the Trust Depositor’s name,
identity, structure, existence, state of formation, location or other action would make any
financing or continuation statement or notice of ownership interest or Lien relating to any Loan
Asset seriously misleading within the meaning of applicable provisions of the UCC or any title
statute, the Servicer, no later than five Business Days after the effective date of such change,
shall file such amendments as may be required to preserve and protect the Indenture Trustee’s
security interest in the Loan Assets and the proceeds thereof. Promptly after taking any of the
foregoing actions, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee stating
that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements or amendments necessary to preserve
and protect the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Loan Assets have been filed, and
reciting the details of such filing.

     Section 4.04. Costs and Expenses.

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

83

 

     Section 4.05. Sale Treatment.

     Other than for tax and accounting purposes, the Trust Depositor shall treat the transfer of
Loan Assets made hereunder for all purposes as a sale and purchase on all of its relevant books and
records.

     Section 4.06. Separateness from Trust Depositor.

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

ARTICLE 5.

SERVICING OF LOANS

     Section 5.01. Appointment and Acceptance.

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

     Section 5.02. Duties of the Servicer.

     (a) The Servicer, as an independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Loans
and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with
such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent
with the terms of this Agreement and the Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer may enter into
Subservicing Agreements for any servicing and administration of Loans with any entity provided the
Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to the Servicer entering into such Subservicing
Agreement. The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance
with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and to either directly service the
related Loans itself or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which
qualifies hereunder.

     (b) Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement
relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to
actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, so long as this Agreement shall remain effective,
the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Indenture Trustee, for itself and
on behalf of the Securityholders, for the servicing and administering of the Loans in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and the Credit and Collection Policy, without diminution of
such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue
of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and
conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Loans. For purposes of
this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Loans when any
Subservicer has received such payments. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by

84

 

such Subservicer, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify
such indemnification.

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

     (d) In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer, the Servicer at
its expense and without right of reimbursement therefor, shall, upon request of the Indenture
Trustee, deliver to the Successor Servicer all documents and records (including computer tapes and
diskettes) relating to each Subservicing Agreement and the Loans then being serviced hereunder and
an accounting of amounts collected and held by it hereunder and otherwise use its best efforts to
effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the assuming party.

     (e) Modifications and Waivers Relating to Loans.

     (i) So long as it is consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer may
waive, modify or vary any term of any Loan if in the Servicer’s determination such waiver,
modification or variance will not be materially adverse to the interests of the Noteholders;
provided that the Servicer may not:

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

     (B) enter into any amendment, waiver, modification or variance with respect to
any loan for the purpose or with the intention of causing a Substitution Event to
occur with respect to such Loan solely in order to render such loan eligible for
repurchase or substitution hereunder or to otherwise make such Loan eligible for
repurchase pursuant to Section 2.08.

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

     (ii) Except as expressly set forth in Section 5.02(e)(i), the Servicer may
execute any amendments, waivers, modifications or variances related to such Loan and any
documents related thereto on behalf of the Issuer. The Servicer will provide each Rating
Agency with a written summary of any such amendment, waiver, modification or

85

 

variance promptly after its execution and, promptly upon request by any Rating Agency,
a copy of any such waiver, modification or variance. Such summary shall set forth a brief
description of the reasons for, and the effect of, such waiver, modification or variance,
and shall indicate whether such waiver, modification or variance constitutes a Specified
Amendment.

     (iii) With respect to each of the modifications described in clause (i) – (vi) of the
definition of Specified Amendment, the Servicer may elect to submit the modified (or
overadvanced, as applicable) Loan to S&P to be re-rated. If the Servicer does not elect to
have such Loan re-rated by S&P, then such Loan shall be deemed to be a Delinquent Loan as of
the date that is 60 days after the effective date of the relevant Specified Amendment;
provided that such Loan shall cease to be deemed a Delinquent Loan as of such later date as
it may be submitted to S&P for re-rating. Any Loan which is subject to a modification
described in clause (v) of the definition of Specified Amendment will be deemed to be a
Delinquent Loan upon the effectiveness of such Specified Amendment. The provisions of this
Section 5.02(e)(iii) shall not apply to modifications, amendments or variances that
do not constitute Specified Amendments.

     (iv) Although costs incurred by the Servicer or any Subservicer in respect of Servicing
Advances may be added to the amount owing by the Obligor under the related Loan, such
amounts shall not be added for the purposes of calculating distributions to Noteholders.
Any fees and costs imposed in connection therewith may be retained by the Servicer. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as it is consistent with the Credit and
Collection Policy, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and each
Securityholder, all instruments of amendment, waiver, satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the
Loans and with respect to any Related Property. Such authority shall include, but not be
limited to, the authority to substitute or release items of Related Property consistent with
the Credit and Collection Policy and sell participations or assignments in Loans previously
transferred to the Issuer. In connection with any such sale, the Servicer shall deposit in
the Principal and Interest Account, pursuant to Section 7.03(b), all proceeds
received upon such sale. If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, on
behalf of the Issuer, shall furnish the Servicer, within five Business Days of receipt of
the Servicer’s request, with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties
under this Agreement. Any such request to the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer,
shall be accompanied by a certification in the form of Exhibit L-1 attached hereto
signed by a Servicing Officer. In connection with any substitution of Collateral, the
Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee the items, and within the time frame, set
forth in Section 2.07, assuming that the date of substitution is the relevant
“Transfer Date.”

     (f) The Servicer, in servicing and administering the Loans, shall act in good faith, exercise
commercially reasonable judgment and reasonable care, consistent with the Credit and Collection
Policy, employ or cause to be employed procedures (including collection, foreclosure, Foreclosed
Property and Repossessed Collateral management procedures), prudent lending

86

 

standards and exercise a degree of skill and attention not less than that which it customarily
employs and exercises in servicing and administering loans for its own account and in a manner
consistent with those policies and procedures as are customarily used by reasonable and prudent
servicers of national repute in connection with servicing of assets of the nature and of the
character of the Loans, giving due consideration to the Noteholders’ reliance on the Servicer. The
Servicer shall not permit an Obligor of a Revolving Loan to receive an Overadvance thereunder for
the purpose of making payments of principal or interest (in whole or in part) due with respect to a
Term Loan, where any portion of such Revolving Loan or Term Loan, as applicable, shall constitute a
part of the Loan Assets hereunder or an asset of any Prior Term Transaction.

     (g) [Reserved].

     (h) In accordance with the power set forth in Section 2.01(a), the Servicer shall
perform the duties of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee under the Transaction Documents. In
furtherance of the foregoing, the Servicer shall consult with the Owner Trustee as the Servicer
deems appropriate regarding the duties of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee under the Transaction
Documents. The Servicer shall monitor the performance of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and
shall advise the Owner Trustee when action is necessary to comply with the Issuer’s or the Owner
Trustee’s duties under the Transaction Documents. The Servicer shall prepare for execution by the
Owner Trustee or the Issuer or shall cause the preparation by other appropriate Persons of all such
documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be the duty of the
Issuer or the Owner Trustee to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

     (i) In addition to the duties of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement or any of the
Transaction Documents, the Servicer shall perform such calculations and shall prepare for execution
by the Issuer or the Owner Trustee or shall cause the preparation by other appropriate Persons of
all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be the
duty of the Issuer to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to state and federal tax and securities
laws. In accordance with the directions of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee, the Servicer shall
administer, perform or supervise the performance of such other activities in connection with the
Issuer as are not covered by any of the foregoing provisions and as are expressly requested by the
Issuer or the Owner Trustee and are reasonably within the capability of the Servicer.

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

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

     (l) The Servicer shall maintain appropriate books of account and records relating to services
performed under this Agreement, which books of account and records shall be

87

 

reasonably accessible for inspection by the Owner Trustee at any time during normal business
hours.

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

     (n) For so long as any of the Notes are outstanding and are “restricted securities” within the
meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (i) the Servicer will provide or cause to be
provided to any holder of such Notes and any prospective purchaser thereof designated by such
holder, upon the request of such a holder or prospective purchaser, the information required to be
provided to such holder or prospective purchaser by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act; and
(ii) the Servicer shall update such information from time to time in order to prevent such
information from becoming false and misleading and will take such other actions as are necessary to
ensure that the safe harbor exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
provided by Rule 144A is and will be available for resales of such Notes conducted in accordance
with Rule 144A.

     (o) The Servicer will keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and franchise as a
Delaware limited liability company, and the Servicer shall obtain and preserve its qualification to
do business as a foreign limited liability company in each jurisdiction in which such qualification
is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement and of any of
the Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

     (p) The Servicer shall be obligated to make the Servicing Advances (but not Scheduled Payment
Advances) incurred in the performance of its servicing duties hereunder. The Servicer shall be
entitled to reimbursement for such Servicing Advances from the Collections received from the Loan
to which such Servicing Advances relate pursuant to Section 5.10(d) and Section
7.03(h).

     (q) Not later than the Business Day preceding each Payment Date, the Servicer will cause all
amounts in the Reserve Fund to be transferred to the Note Distribution Account for application in
accordance with the Priority of Payments.

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

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

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

88

 

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

     (v) The initial Servicer shall provide to S&P, Moody’s and Fitch (i) financial statements for
each Obligor of a Loan included in the Loan Pool, as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in any
event not later than 135 days) after the end of the fiscal year of such Obligor, until such time as
the related Loan has been paid in full or is no longer part of the Loan Pool and (ii) promptly
after a Responsible Officer of the Servicer becomes aware thereof, email notice of any payment
default (following the expiration of any applicable grace period) under a Loan. Any failure by the
initial Servicer to provide financial statements with respect to any Obligor within 135 days after
the end of the fiscal year of each such Obligor shall result in each Loan to the applicable Obligor
being deemed to have an S&P rating of “CCC-” unless such Loan has been submitted to S&P to be
re-rated.

     Section 5.03. Liquidation of Loans.

     (a) In the event that any payment due under any Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section
5.02 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Obligor fails to
perform any other covenant or obligation under the Loan which results in an event of default
thereunder, the Servicer in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and any Applicable Law
may pursue enforcement of all appropriate remedies it may deem to be in the best interests of the
Noteholders. Such enforcement shall include, but shall not be limited to, acceleration of all
payments due thereunder to the extent permitted by the Required Loan Documents and foreclosure upon
the Related Property at a public or private sale or otherwise comparably effect the ownership of
Related Property relating to defaulted Loans for which the related Loan is still outstanding and as
to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.10 and shall act as sales and processing agent
for the Related Property that is repossessed. In connection with such foreclosure or other
conversion and any other liquidation action or enforcement of remedies, the Servicer shall exercise
collection and foreclosure procedures with the same degree of care and skill in its exercise or use
as it would exercise with respect to its own affairs, in accordance with this Agreement, and in
accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. To the extent the Servicer or the Issuer takes
possession of any of the Related Property, the Servicer may not sell any such Related Property
without first using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain bids to purchase such Related
Property from at least three Persons (other than the Servicer or any of its Affiliates). The
Servicer may sell the Related Property to the highest bidder (if any bids are received) or the
Servicer or an Affiliate may purchase the Related Property for a price equal to the highest bid,
but in no event may the Servicer sell any Related Property for less than the then fair market value
of the Related Property. If no bids are received and the Servicer has used commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain such bids, the Servicer or an Affiliate may purchase the Related Property for a
price equal to the then fair market value of such Related Property. Any such sale of the Related
Property is to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to
the Indenture Trustee setting forth the Loan, the Related Property, the sale price of the Related
Property and certifying that such sale price is the fair market value of such Related Property. 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 repossession of such Related Property unless it
reasonably determines that such repair and/or

89

 

repossession will increase the Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater than the amount of
such expenses.

     (b) Prior to undertaking foreclosure of any Loan secured by real property and any improvements
thereon including any Mortgaged Property, the Servicer must investigate environmental conditions,
including, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, the performance of a Phase I and/or
Phase II environmental site assessment, to ascertain the actual or potential presence of any
hazardous material on or under such property. For purposes of this Agreement, the term hazardous
material includes (1) any hazardous substance, as defined by the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986, 42 U.S.C. 9601–9675, and (2) petroleum (as that term is defined at 42
U.S.C. §6991) including any derivative, fraction, by–product, constituent or breakdown product
thereof, or additive thereto. In the event that the environmental investigation determines the
existence of any hazardous material on or under the real property in excess of minimum action
levels established by relevant regulatory agencies, title to such property shall not be taken
without satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.

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

     Section 5.04. Fidelity Bond.

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

     Section 5.05. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

     (a) The Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that each Obligor maintains an
Insurance Policy with respect to any tangible, personal property collateral (other than accounts
receivable) in amounts consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy and as required by clause
(m) of the definition of Eligible Loan and all of the Originator’s right, title and interest
therein will be fully assigned to the Indenture Trustee. Additionally, other than with respect to
unsecured Loans and Loans in which the sole collateral is the related Obligor’s accounts
receivable, the Servicer will require that each Obligor maintain property damage

90

 

liability insurance during the term of each Loan in compliance with the Credit and Collection
Policy. If an Obligor fails to maintain property damage insurance, the Servicer may in its
discretion purchase and maintain such insurance on behalf of, and generally at the expense of, the
Obligor to the extent entitled to do so pursuant to the Required Loan Documents. In connection
with its activities as Servicer, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee
and the Securityholders, claims to the insurer under each Insurance Policy and any such liability
policy, and to settle, adjust and compromise such claims, in each case, consistent with the terms
of each Loan. The Servicer’s Insurance Policies with respect to the Related Property will insure
against liability for physical damage relating to such Related Property in accordance with the
requirements of the Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer hereby disclaims any and all right,
title and interest in and to any Insurance Policy and Insurance Proceeds with respect to any
Related Property, including any Insurance Policy with respect to which it is named as loss payee
and as an insured, and agrees that it has no equitable, beneficial or other interest in the
Insurance Polices and Insurance Proceeds other than being named as loss payee and as an insured.
The Servicer acknowledges that with respect to the Insurance Policies and Insurance Proceeds
thereof that it is acting solely in the capacity as agent for the Indenture Trustee.

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

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

     Section 5.06. Collection of Certain Loan Payments.

     (a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts, consistent with the Credit and Collection
Policy, to collect all payments required under the terms and provisions of the Loans.

91

 

Consistent with the foregoing and the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer may in its
discretion waive or permit to be waived any fee or charge which the Servicer would be entitled to
retain hereunder as servicing compensation and extend the due date for payments due on a Loan as
provided in Section 5.02(e).

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

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

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

     Section 5.08. Satisfaction of Mortgages and Related Property and Release of Loan
Files.

     (a) Upon the payment in full of any Loan, the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that
payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes or the deposit into the
Principal and Interest Account of the purchase price of any Loan acquired by the Trust Depositor,
the Servicer or another Person pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document, the
Servicer will immediately notify the Indenture Trustee by a certification in the form of
Exhibit M attached hereto (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that
all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be
deposited in the Principal and Interest Account pursuant to Section 7.03(b) have been or
will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Loan File.
Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Indenture Trustee shall in accordance with
Section 2.09(c) release, within two Business Days (if such request was received by 2:00
p.m. central time), the related Loan File to the Servicer. Expenses incurred in connection with
any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be payable by the Servicer and shall
not

92

 

be chargeable to the Principal and Interest Account or the Note Distribution Account; provided
that the Servicer may collect and retain such expenses from the underlying Obligor.

     (b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Loan, the
Indenture Trustee shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Indenture Trustee of a
certification in the form of Exhibit M attached hereto signed by a Servicing Officer,
release the related Loan File to the Servicer within two Business Days (if such request was
received by 2:00 p.m. central time), and the Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents as
shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Servicer shall return the Loan
File to the Indenture Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the
Loan has been liquidated and the Net Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Loan have been deposited
in the Principal and Interest Account and remitted to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Note
Distribution Account or the Loan File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a
public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing
legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure or repossession of Related Property either
judicially or non–judicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee a certificate
of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to whom such Loan File
or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a
certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt
relating to such Loan shall be released by the Indenture Trustee to the Servicer.

     (c) The Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer any court pleadings,
requests for trustee’s sale or other documents provided to it necessary to the foreclosure or
trustee’s sale in respect of Related Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment
against any Obligor on the related loan agreement (including any Underlying Note or other agreement
securing Related Property) or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the related loan agreement (including any Underlying Note or other agreement
securing Related Property) or otherwise available at law or in equity. Together with such
documents or pleadings, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee a certificate of a
Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Indenture Trustee
and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and
delivery thereof by the Indenture Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise adversely affect the
Lien of the agreement securing Related Property, except for the termination of such a Lien upon
completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale. The Indenture Trustee shall, upon receipt of a
written request from a Servicing Officer, execute any document provided to the Indenture Trustee by
the Servicer or take any other action requested in such request, that is, in the opinion of the
Servicer as evidenced by such request, required or appropriate by any state or other jurisdiction
to discharge the Lien securing Related Property upon the satisfaction thereof and the Indenture
Trustee will sign and post, but will not guarantee receipt of, any such documents to the Servicer,
or such other party as the Servicer may direct, within five Business Days of the Indenture
Trustee’s receipt of such certificate or documents. Such certificate or documents shall establish
to the Indenture Trustee’s satisfaction that the related Loan has been paid in full by or on behalf
of the Obligor (or subject to a deficiency claim against such Obligor) and that such payment has
been deposited in the Principal and Interest Account.

93

 

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

     Section 5.09. Scheduled Payment Advances.

     For each Due Period, if the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payment (or portion
thereof) that was due and payable pursuant to a Loan in the Loan Pool during such Due Period was
not received prior to the end of such Due Period or has been received in an Obligor Lock–Box
Account but has not yet been transferred to the Lock–Box Account, the Servicer has the right to
elect, but is not obligated, to make a Scheduled Payment Advance in an amount up to the amount of
such delinquent Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) if the Servicer believes in good faith that
the advance will be reimbursed or subsequently paid by the related Obligor. The Servicer will
deposit any Scheduled Payment Advances into the Principal and Interest Account on or prior to 11:00
a.m. (New York City time) on the related Determination Date, in immediately available funds. The
Servicer will be entitled to be reimbursed for Scheduled Payment Advances pursuant to Section
7.03, Section 7.05(a) and Section 7.05(b). The application of Scheduled
Payment Advances will not prevent a Loan from becoming a Charged-Off Loan or a Delinquent Loan, as
applicable.

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

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

     (b) The Servicer, subject to the provisions of this Article 5, shall manage, conserve,
protect and operate each Foreclosed Property or other Repossessed Collateral for the
Securityholders solely for the purpose of its prudent and prompt disposition and sale. The
Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, manage, conserve,
protect and operate the Foreclosed Property or other Repossessed Collateral in the same manner that
it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed or repossessed property for its own
account, and in a similar manner to that of similar property in the same locality as the Foreclosed
Property or other Repossessed Collateral is managed. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same
(and may temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the
best interest of the Securityholders.

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

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

94

 

     Section 5.11. Servicing Compensation.

     (a) As compensation for its servicing activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses,
the Servicer shall be entitled to receive a servicing fee for each month (or portion thereof)
calculated and payable monthly in arrears on each Payment Date prior to the termination of the
Issuer (with respect to each Due Period, the “Servicing Fee”) equal to the sum of the
product of: (i) the Servicing Fee Percentage, (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance as of
the first day of the applicable Due Period (or, with respect to the first Due Period, as of the
Closing Date) and (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of days in the
applicable Due Period (or, with respect to the first Due Period, the number of days from the
Closing Date to the end of the first Due Period) and the denominator of which is 360. The
Servicing Fee is payable out of Collections pursuant to Section 7.05(a) and Section
7.05(b). If the Servicer is replaced, the Originator shall be responsible for the payment of
any fee payable to a Successor Servicer in excess of the Servicing Fee to the extent such fee is
not paid pursuant to Section 7.05(a) and Section 7.05(b).

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

     Section 5.12. Assignment; Resignation.

     The Servicer shall not assign its rights and duties under this Agreement (other than in
connection with a subservicing arrangement) nor resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it as Servicer except (a) by mutual consent of the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the
Majority Noteholders, (b) in connection with a merger, conversion or consolidation permitted
pursuant to Section 5.13 (in which case the Person resulting from the merger, conversion or
consolidation shall be the successor of the Servicer) or (c) upon the Servicer’s determination that
its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under Applicable Law or administrative determination
and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer, and in each case subject to delivery by the
Servicer of written notice to S&P within two Business Days following any event specified in clauses
(a) – (c) above. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be
evidenced by a written Opinion of Counsel (who may be counsel for the Servicer) to such effect
delivered to the Indenture Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. Other than with respect to clause (c) of this
Section 5.12, no such resignation shall become effective until a successor has assumed the
Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 8.03.

     Section 5.13. Merger or Consolidation of Servicer.

     (a) Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting
from such merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer is a party, or any Person
succeeding to substantially all of the business of the Servicer, and who shall be an established
commercial loan servicing institution that on a consolidated basis has a net worth of at least
$50,000,000, shall be the Successor Servicer hereunder without execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, notwithstanding anything herein

95

 

to the contrary; provided that no such merger, conversion or consolidation of the Servicer or
transfer of all or substantially all or the Servicer assets or business shall be permitted
hereunder unless the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect thereto.

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

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

     The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely on any
document of any kind which it in good faith reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been
adopted or signed by the proper authorities or persons respecting any matters arising hereunder.
Subject to the terms of Section 12.01 herein, the Servicer shall have no obligation to
appear with respect to, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to the
Servicer’s duty to service the Loans in accordance with this Agreement. The Servicer shall not be
responsible for the payment of any taxes imposed on or with respect to the Issuer or for the fees
of any Successor Servicer.

     Section 5.15. The Backup Servicer.

describing the nature and amount of such discrepancies and the actions the Servicer
proposes to take with respect thereto.

     Section 6.20. Payments from Obligor Lock–Boxes and Obligor Lock–Box Accounts.

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

ARTICLE 7.

ESTABLISHMENT OF ACCOUNTS;

DISTRIBUTIONS; RESERVE FUND

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

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

     (b) If the Servicer so directs (or, if the Servicer does not so direct, the Trust Depositor
has the right to direct), in writing, the Indenture Trustee shall accept such directions as
directions of the Issuer and shall invest the amounts in the Note Distribution Account and the
Reserve Fund in Permitted Investments of the type specified in such written direction that mature
or are withdrawable not later than the next succeeding Determination Date, except for investments
in Section (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments. Once such funds are invested,
the Indenture Trustee shall not change the investment of such funds other than in connection with
the withdrawal or liquidation of such investments and the transfer of such funds as provided herein
on or prior to the next succeeding Determination Date. Funds in the Note Distribution

104

 

Account and
Reserve Fund not so invested must be insured to the extent and the amount permitted by law by BIF
or SAIF of the FDIC. Subject to the restrictions herein, the Servicer or Indenture Trustee may
purchase a Permitted Investment from itself or an Affiliate with respect to investment of funds in
the Trust Accounts. Subject to the other provisions hereof, the Servicer in the case of the
Principal and Interest Account and the Indenture Trustee in the case of all other Trust Accounts
shall have sole control over each such investment and the income thereon, and any certificate or
other instrument evidencing any such investment, if any, shall be delivered directly to the
Servicer or its agent or the Indenture Trustee or its agent, as applicable, together with each
document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Servicer or
Indenture Trustee, as applicable, in a manner which complies with this Section 7.01. All
Investment Earnings on investments of funds in the Trust Accounts shall be deposited in the
Interest Collection Account pursuant to this Section 7.01 and distributed on the next
Payment Date pursuant to Section 7.05. The Trust Depositor and the Issuer agree and
acknowledge that the Servicer and Indenture Trustee are to have “control” (within the meaning of
the UCC) of collateral comprised of “Investment Property” (within the meaning of the UCC) for all
purposes of this Agreement. In the absence of timely written direction from the Servicer or the
Trust Depositor, the Indenture Trustee shall invest amounts in the Note Distribution Account and
Reserve Fund Account in Permitted Investments of the type specified in clause (vi) of the
definition of Permitted Investments herein.

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

     Section 7.02. Reserved. 

     Section 7.03. Principal and Interest Account. 

     (a) The Servicer shall cause to be established and maintained one or more Principal and
Interest Accounts (including for each such account two subaccounts, one designated as the Interest
Collection Account and the other designated as the Principal Collection Account), in one or more
Eligible Deposit Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, which may be
interest–bearing or such accounts may be trust accounts wherein the moneys therein are invested in
Permitted Investments, titled “CapitalSource Finance LLC, as Servicer, in trust for the registered
holders of CapitalSource Commercial Loan Trust 2007-1 Notes, Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D,
Class E Notes and Class F Notes.” All funds in such Principal and Interest Account not so invested
shall be insured to the extent and the amount permitted by the BIF or

105

 

SAIF of the FDIC to the
maximum extent provided by law. The creation of any Principal and Interest Account shall be
evidenced by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit E hereto. A copy of such letter
agreement shall be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and, upon request, any
Securityholder. The Servicer may, upon written notice to the Indenture Trustee, transfer any
Principal and Interest Account to a different Eligible Deposit Account.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

106

 

     (e) Notwithstanding Section 7.03(b), if (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the
Principal and Interest Account in respect of a Collection of a Loan in the Loan Pool and such
Collection was received by the Servicer in the form of a check that is not honored for any reason,
or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any Collection and deposits an
amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Collection, the Servicer shall
appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Principal and Interest Account to
reflect such dishonored check or mistake. Any Scheduled Payment in respect of which a dishonored
check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.

     (f) The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Principal and Interest Accounts shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Liquidation Expenses may not be deposited by the Servicer in the Principal and Interest Account.

     (g) So long as no Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and consistent with
any requirements of the Code, the Principal and Interest Account shall either be maintained with an
Eligible Deposit Account as an interest–bearing account meeting the requirements set forth in
Section 7.03(a), or the funds held therein may be invested by the Servicer (to the extent
practicable) in Permitted Investments, as directed
in writing by the Servicer, and, in each case, with a stated maturity (giving effect to any
applicable grace period) no later than the fourth Business Day immediately preceding the Payment
Date next following the Due Period in which the date of investment occurs. All Permitted
Investments must be held by or registered in the name of “CapitalSource, as Servicer, in trust for
the registered holders of CapitalSource Commercial Loan Trust 2007-1 Notes.” Any Investment
Interest Earnings on funds held in the Principal and Interest Account shall be deemed part of the
Interest Collection Account and shall be deposited therein pursuant to Section 7.03 and
distributed on the next Payment Date pursuant to Section 7.05. The amount of any losses
incurred in connection with the investment of funds in the Principal and Interest Account in
Permitted Investments shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account by the Servicer from
its own funds immediately as realized without reimbursement therefor.

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

     (i) to remit to the Indenture Trustee on the Business Day preceding each Payment Date,
for deposit in the Note Distribution Account, the Interest Collections and Principal
Collections received during the immediately preceding Due Period;

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

     (iii) to withdraw any amount received from an Obligor that is recoverable and sought
to be recovered as a voidable preference by a trustee in bankruptcy pursuant to the

107

 

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

     (iv) to make investments in Permitted Investments;

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

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

     (vii) prior to (A) a payment default on the related Loan (and in the case of Asset
Based Revolvers, a payment default shall mean any failure to make a payment on the date
such payment is due and such failure continues for more than one calendar day), (B) a
Servicer Default or (C) an Event of Default, to advance to an Obligor in a given Due Period
prior to the last day of such Due Period an amount not to exceed the Principal Collections
received from such Obligor during that Due Period;

     (viii) from the Principal Collection Account to purchase Substitute Loans as
contemplated by Section 2.04(a) to the extent funds have been deposited by the
Originator for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(i)(B); and

     (ix) to clear and terminate the Principal and Interest Account upon the termination of
this Agreement.

     Section 7.04. Securityholder Distributions.

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

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

     Section 7.06. Determination of LIBOR.

     (a) The Indenture Trustee will determine the interest rate for each Interest Accrual Period by
determining the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a
period of one month (the “One–Month Index Maturity”) which appears on Reuters Screen
LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is two London Banking Days preceding
that Interest Accrual Period (“LIBOR Determination Date”). If such rate does not appear on
Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page on the related LIBOR Determination Date, the rate for that Interest
Accrual Period will be determined as if the parties had specified “USD–LIBOR–Reference Banks” as
the applicable rate. “USD–LIBOR–Reference Banks” means that the interest rate for an Interest
Accrual Period will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. Dollars are
offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the related LIBOR
Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for the One–Month Index Maturity
commencing on the beginning of that Interest Accrual Period and in a Representative Amount. The
Indenture Trustee will request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to
provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that
Interest Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two
quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that Interest Accrual Period will be the
arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the Indenture
Trustee, at 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the beginning of that Interest Accrual Period for
loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for the One–Month Index Maturity commencing at the
beginning of that Interest Accrual Period and in a Representative Amount.

     (b) The establishment of LIBOR on the applicable London Banking Day by the Indenture Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee’s subsequent calculation of the rates of interest

113

 

applicable to the Notes
for the related Payment Date shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding. Each
such rate of interest may be obtained by telephoning the Indenture Trustee at (612) 667–8058.

     Section 7.07. Monthly Reconciliation.

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

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

ARTICLE 8.

SERVICER DEFAULT; SERVICER TRANSFER

     Section 8.01. Servicer Default.

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

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

     (b) failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform, in any material respect, any other
covenants, obligations or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents, or any representation or warranty of the Servicer made in this Agreement or
the other Transaction Documents or in any certificate or other writing delivered

thereto or in
connection therewith proves to have been incorrect when
made, which failure or breach has a material adverse effect on the rights of the Noteholders
and continues unremedied for a period of 30 days (if such failure or breach can be cured) after the
first to occur of (i) the date on which written notice of such failure requiring the same to be
remedied shall have been given to a Responsible Officer of the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee,
or a Responsible Officer of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee by any Securityholder, and (ii)
the date on which a Responsible Officer of the Servicer receives actual knowledge of such failure
or breach; or

     (c) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for
the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any Insolvency Proceedings, or for
the winding–up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such
decree or order shall have remained in force, undischarged or unstayed for a period of thirty (30)
days; or

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

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

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

     Section 8.02. Servicer Transfer.

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

     (b) Upon delivery of the notice required by Section 8.02(a) (or, if later, on a date
designated therein or, without notice if permitted under Section 8.02(a)), and on the date that a
Successor Servicer shall have been appointed and accepted such appointment pursuant to Section
8.03 (such appointment being herein called a “Servicer Transfer”), all rights,
benefits, fees, indemnities, authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with
respect to the Loans, the Loan Files or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in such successor
(the “Successor Servicer”) pursuant to and under this Section 8.02; and, without
limitation, the Successor Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of
the Servicer, as attorney–in–fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to
do any and all acts or
things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. The
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Successor Servicer in effecting the

115

 

termination of the
responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer
to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be
held by the Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the Servicer, in the Principal and
Interest Account, or for its own account in connection with its services hereafter or thereafter
received with respect to the Loans. The Servicer shall transfer to the Successor Servicer (i) all
records held by the Servicer relating to the Loans in such electronic form as the Successor
Servicer may reasonably request and (ii) any Loan Files in the Servicer’s possession. In addition,
the Servicer shall permit access to its premises (including all computer records and programs) to
the Successor Servicer or its designee, and shall pay the reasonable transition expenses of the
Successor Servicer. Upon a Servicer Transfer, the Successor Servicer shall also be entitled to
receive the Servicing Fee thereafter payable for performing the obligations of the Servicer. Any
indemnities provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents in favor of the Servicer
and any fees, costs, expenses, Servicing Advances or Scheduled Payment Advances which have accrued
and/or are unpaid to the Servicer shall survive the resignation or termination of the Servicer.

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

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

     (b) The Backup Servicer may, in its discretion, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if the
Majority Noteholders request in writing to the Backup Servicer, appoint, or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established servicing institution having a net worth of

116

 

not less than $50,000,000 as the Successor Servicer in the assumption of all or any part of
the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer.

     (c) As compensation, any Successor Servicer (including, without limitation, the Backup
Servicer) so appointed shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee, together with any other
servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise as
provided herein that thereafter are payable under this Agreement, including, without limitation,
all reasonable costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with
transferring the servicing obligations under the Agreement and amending the Agreement to reflect
such transfer.

     (d) In the event the Backup Servicer is required to solicit bids, the Backup Servicer shall
solicit, by public announcement, bids from banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the
qualifications set forth above. Such public announcement shall specify that the Successor Servicer
shall be entitled to the full amount of the Servicing Fee as servicing compensation, together with
the other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise
that thereafter are payable under this Agreement. Within 30 days after any such public
announcement, the Backup Servicer shall negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of
the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest
qualifying bid, if any. The Backup Servicer shall deduct from any sum received by the Backup
Servicer from the successor to the Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all
costs and expenses of any public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the
servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder and the amount of any unreimbursed Servicing
Advances. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Backup Servicer to
the Servicer at the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to the Servicer’s successor. The
Backup Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with the Agreement, as shall
be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer
nor any other Successor Servicer shall be held liable by reason of any failure to make, or any
delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the
Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, or (ii)
restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer hereunder.
No appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this clause (d) shall be effective until
written notice of such proposed appointment shall have been provided by the Indenture Trustee to
each Securityholder and the Backup Servicer shall have consented thereto. The Backup Servicer
shall not resign as Servicer until a Successor Servicer has been appointed and accepted such
appointment unless required by Applicable Law or administrative determination.

     (e) On or after a Servicer Transfer, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all
respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set
forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and the
terminated Servicer shall be relieved of such responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising
after such Servicer Transfer; provided that (i) the Successor Servicer will not assume any
obligations of the Servicer described in Section 8.02 and (ii) the Successor Servicer shall
not be liable for any acts or omissions of the Servicer occurring prior to such Servicer Transfer
or for any breach by the Servicer of any of its representations and warranties contained herein or
in any other

117

 

Transaction Document. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall
the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any
differential in the amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce
any Successor Servicer to act as Successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set
forth or provided for herein, including any Additional Servicing Fee. The Owner Trustee,
Securityholders and the Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. To the extent the
terminated Servicer has made Servicing Advances, it shall be entitled to reimbursement of the same
notwithstanding its termination hereunder, to the same extent as if it had continued to service the
Loans hereunder.

     Section 8.04. Notification to Securityholders.

     (a) Promptly following the occurrence of any Servicer Default, the Servicer shall give written
notice thereof to the Trustees, the Trust Depositor and each Rating Agency at the addresses
described in Section 13.04 hereof, to the Noteholders and Certificateholder at their
respective addresses appearing on the Note Register and the Certificate Register, respectively.

     (b) Within 10 days following any termination of the Servicer or appointment of a Successor
Servicer pursuant to this Article 8, the Indenture Trustee shall give written notice
thereof to each Rating Agency and the Trust Depositor at the addresses described in Section
13.04 hereof, to the Noteholders and Certificateholder at their respective addresses appearing
on the Note Register and the Certificate Register, respectively.

     Section 8.05. Effect of Transfer.

     (a) After a Servicer Transfer, the terminated Servicer shall have no further obligations with
respect to the management, administration, servicing, custody or collection of the Loans and the
Successor Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 8.03 shall have all of such obligations,
except that the terminated Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to the
Successor Servicer for its own account, promptly on receipt and in the same form in which received,
any amounts (properly endorsed where required for the Successor Servicer to collect them) received
as payments upon or otherwise in connection with the Loans.

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

     Section 8.06. Database File.

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

118

 

     Section 8.07. Waiver of Defaults.

     The Majority Noteholders may, on behalf of all the Securityholders, and subject to satisfying
the Rating Agency Condition, waive any events permitting removal of the Servicer pursuant to this
Article 8; provided that the Majority Noteholders may not waive a default in making a
required distribution on a Note without the consent of each holder of such Note. Upon any waiver
or cure of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default or Event of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this
Agreement. No such waiver or cure shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any
right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived.

     Section 8.08. Responsibilities of the Successor Servicer.

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

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

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

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

     Section 8.09. Rating Agency Condition for Servicer Transfer.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions relating to a Servicer Transfer, no Servicer Transfer
shall be effective hereunder unless prior written notice thereof shall have been given to the
Rating Agencies, and the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect thereto.

119

 

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

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

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

relate to accounting matters, except for such exceptions as such Independent Accountants shall
believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such report, (b) in

the Indenture Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm of Independent Accountants,
the Servicer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and
agreed that the Indenture Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon
the direction of the Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee will not make any independent inquiry or
investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency,
validity or correctness of such procedures. The Independent Accountants’ report shall also
indicate that the firm is independent of the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of
Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

3.03 or Section 3.04 or as made or deemed made in any Addition Notice or any Subsequent
Purchase Agreement relating to Substitute Loans that materially and adversely affects the value of
the Loans or the interests of the Noteholders therein or which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Noteholders in the related Loan in the case of a representation or warranty
relating to a particular

124

 

Loan (notwithstanding that such representation or warranty was made to the Originator’s or the
Trust Depositor’s best knowledge) (an “Ineligible Loan”), the party discovering or
receiving notice of the breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties; provided that
the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to inquire or to investigate the breach of
any of such representations or warranties. If, within 30 days of the earlier of its discovery or
its receipt of notice of any such breach of a representation or warranty, the Originator or Trust
Depositor has not cured such breach in all material respects, then the Originator or Trust
Depositor must either (i) repurchase such Ineligible Loan by depositing into the Principal and
Interest Account, an amount equal to the Repurchase Amount, or (ii) substitute an Eligible Loan for
such Ineligible Loan, not later than the date a repurchase of such affected Loan would be required
hereunder; provided that with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty relating to the
Loans in the aggregate and not to any particular Loan, the Originator may select Loans (without
adverse selection) to repurchase (or substitute for) such that had such Loans not been included as
part of the Loan Assets (and, in the case of a substitution, had such Substitute Loan been included
as part of the Loan Assets instead of the selected Loan) there would have been no breach of such
representation or warranty. The Repurchase Amount for a Loan may equal, exceed or be less than the
fair market value of such Loan on the date of repurchase.

     Section 11.02. Reassignment of Repurchased or Substituted Loans.

     Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Principal and Interest Account of the
amounts described in Section 11.01 (or upon the Subsequent Transfer Date related to a
Substitute Loan described in Section 11.01), the Indenture Trustee shall assign to the
Trust Depositor and the Trust Depositor shall assign to the Originator all of the Issuer’s (or
Trust Depositor’s, as applicable) right, title and interest in the repurchased or substituted Loan
and related Loan Assets without recourse, representation or warranty. Such reassigned Loan shall
no longer thereafter be included in any calculations of Outstanding Loan Balances required to be
made hereunder or otherwise be deemed a part of the Issuer.

the Trust Depositor to perform its duties in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and in the
best interests of the Securityholders, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence,

     Section 13.05. Severability of Provisions.

     If one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be
for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall
be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement
and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this
Agreement, the Notes or Certificates or the rights of the Securityholders, and any such

130

 

prohibition, invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms in any other jurisdiction.

     Section 13.06. Third Party Beneficiaries.

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

     Section 13.07. Counterparts.

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

     Section 13.08. Headings.

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

     Section 13.09. No Bankruptcy Petition; Disclaimer.

     (a) Each of the Originator, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Issuer acting through the
Owner Trustee and each Holder (by acceptance of the applicable Securities) covenants and agrees
that, prior to the date that is one year and one day (or, if longer, the then applicable preference
period and one day) after the payment in full of all amounts owing in respect of all outstanding
Classes of Notes rated by any Rating Agency, it will not institute against the Trust Depositor or
the Issuer, or join any other Person in instituting against the Trust Depositor or the Issuer, any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar
proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States; provided that
nothing herein shall prohibit the Indenture Trustee from filing proofs of claim or otherwise
participating in any such proceedings instituted by any other Person. This Section 13.09
will survive the termination of this Agreement.

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

     (c) To the extent that notwithstanding the agreements contained in this Section 13.09,
the Issuer or any Securityholder, either (i) asserts an interest in or claim to, or benefit from
any

131

 

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

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

     Section 13.10. Jurisdiction.

     Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the courts of
the United States for the Southern District of New York, and by execution and delivery of this
Agreement, each party hereto consents, for itself and in respect of its property, to the
non–exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. Each such party irrevocably waives any objection,
including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens,
which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any action or proceeding in such jurisdiction
in respect of this Agreement or any document related hereto.

     Section 13.11. Tax Characterization.

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

132

 

     Section 13.12. Prohibited Transactions with Respect to the Issuer.

     The Originator shall not:

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

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

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

     Section 13.13. Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee.

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

     Section 13.14. Allocation of Payments with Respect to Loans.

     (a) With respect to any Partially Funded Term Loans and any Revolving Loans, the Issuer will
own only the principal portion of such Loans outstanding as of the applicable Cut–Off Date.
Principal Collections received by the Servicer on any Revolving Loans (other than Loans to SPE
Obligors) will be allocated first to the portion of such Loan owned by the Originator, its
Affiliate special purpose entities under the Warehouse Facilities, any co-lenders under the
facility and portions owned by the issuers in a Prior Term Transaction (or any similar future
transactions entered into after the date hereof), until the principal amount of such portion is
reduced to zero, and then to the portion owned by the Issuer; provided that if (i) a payment
default occurs with respect to any of the related Loans (and in the case of Asset Based Revolvers,
a payment default shall mean any failure to make a payment on the date such payment is due and

133

 

such failure continues for more than five Business Days), (ii) the Originator has determined
in its sole discretion that an Obligor’s credit has deteriorated such that it materially and
adversely affects the value of the related Loans or the Originator has determined in its sole
discretion to reduce its commitment to an Obligor, (iii) an Event of Default occurs or (iv) a
Servicer Default occurs, then Principal Collections received on (A) the applicable Loan (in the
case of clause (i) or (ii) above) or (B) all the Revolving Loans (in the case of
clauses (iii) and (iv) above) will be allocated between the portion owned by the
Originator, its Affiliate special purpose entities under the Warehouse Facilities (or any similar
facilities entered into after the date hereof) and any co-lenders under the facility, portions
owned by issuers in a Prior Term Transaction (or any similar future transactions entered into after
the date hereof) and the portion owned by the Issuer pro rata based upon the outstanding principal
amount of each such portion. So long as there is no (1) payment default on the related Loans (and
in the case of Asset Based Revolvers, a payment default shall mean any failure to make a payment on
the date such payment is due and such failure continues for more than five Business Days), (2)
Servicer Default or (3) Event of Default, the Servicer will determine the Outstanding Loan Balance,
the Retained Interest (if any) and the Principal Collections received with respect to any Revolving
Loan secured by Related Property on the last day of each Due Period, and all other Loans (including
Revolving Loans not secured by any Related Property) and in all other cases on each Business Day,
pursuant to Section 7.07.

     (b) With respect to each of the Loans, Collections received by the Servicer will be allocated
between the portion owned by the Originator, its Affiliate special purpose entities under the
Warehouse Facilities and Prior Term Transactions or any similar future transactions, and any
co-lenders under the facility and the portion owned by issuers in a Prior Term Transaction (or
similar future transactions entered into after the date hereof) on a pro rata basis according to
the outstanding principal amount of each such portion, except, in the case of Principal Collections
on Revolving Loans (other than Loans to SPE Obligors).

     Section 13.15. No Partnership.

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

     Section 13.16. Successors and Assigns.

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

     Section 13.17. Acts of Holders.

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

134

 

     Section 13.18. Duration of Agreement.

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

     Section 13.19. Limited Recourse.

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

     (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document,
the obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document are limited
recourse obligations of the Issuer payable solely from the Collateral in accordance with the
Priority of Payments and, following realization of the Collateral and distribution in accordance
with the Priority of Payments, any claims of the Noteholders, and any other parties to any
Transaction Document shall be extinguished.

     Section 13.20. Confidentiality.

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

     Section 13.21. Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment.

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

135

 

     Section 13.22. Alternative Exchange Listing.

     In the event that the Issuer is required to prepare financial statements in accordance with

EXHIBIT 4.6

CINEMARK HOLDINGS, INC.

DIRECTOR NOMINATION AGREEMENT

     This Director Nomination Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of April 9, 2007, among
Cinemark Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Madison Dearborn Capital Partners
IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“MDCP”), each of the investors listed on the Schedule of
Mitchell Investors attached hereto (collectively, the “Mitchell Investors”), each of the investors
listed on the Schedule of Quadrangle Investors attached hereto, (collectively, the “Quadrangle
Investors”), Syufy Enterprises, LP, a California limited partnership (the “Syufy Investor”) and the
additional investors listed on the Schedule of Additional Investors (collectively, the “Additional
Investors”). MDCP, the Mitchell Investors, the Quadrangle Investors, the Syufy Investor and the
Additional Investors are collectively referred to herein as the “Stockholders” and individually as
a “Stockholder.” Unless otherwise specified herein, all of the capitalized terms used herein are
defined in Section 6 hereof.

     WHEREAS, the Company and the stockholders of the Company entered into that certain
Stockholders Agreement dated as of August 7, 2006 (the “Stockholders Agreement”) (capitalized terms
used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the
Stockholders Agreement);

     WHEREAS, the Stockholders own shares of common stock, par value, $0.001 per share, of the
Company (the “Common Stock”) and, in some cases, options to acquire shares of Common Stock;

     WHEREAS, the Company is contemplating an offer and sale of its Common Stock to the public in
an underwritten initial public offering registered under the Securities Act (the “IPO”);

     WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to terminate the Stockholders Agreement upon the
consummation of an IPO.

     WHEREAS, the Company has agreed to permit MDCP, the Mitchell Investors, the Quadrangle
Investors and the Syufy Investor to designate persons for nomination for election to the board of
directors of the Company (the “Board”) on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:

     1. Board of Directors.

          (a) From and after the Effective Time and until the provisions of this Section 1 cease
to be effective and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the following holders of
Stockholder Shares shall have the right to designate persons to be appointed or nominated, as the
case may be, for election to the Board (each a “Nominee”) as follows:

 

 

          (i) two representatives designated by the Mitchell Investors (determined by a vote of
the Mitchell Investors owning a majority of the Stockholder Shares held by all Mitchell
Investors) (the “Mitchell Nominees”), who shall be initially: Lee Roy Mitchell and one other
individual to be nominated by Lee Roy Mitchell; provided that at least one of such Mitchell
Nominees shall be Independent so long as the Company is required by NYSE Rules to have a
majority of Independent directors on the Board;

          (ii) five representatives designated by MDCP (the “MDCP Nominees”) provided that at
least three of such MDCP Nominees shall be Independent so long as the Company is required by
NYSE Rules to have a majority of Independent directors on the Board;

          (iii) one representative designated by the Quadrangle Investors (the “Quadrangle
Nominee”), who shall initially be Peter Ezersky; provided that such Quadrangle Nominee shall
be Independent so long as the Company is required by NYSE Rules to have a majority of
Independent directors on the Board; and

          (iv) one representative designated by the Syufy Investor (the “Syufy Nominee”), who
shall initially be Raymond W. Syufy; and one Observer (as defined below) designated by the
Syufy Investor in accordance with Section 1(a)(iv) below, who shall initially be
Joseph A. Syufy.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Person loses its right to designate a
director for appointment or nomination in accordance with Section 1(e) below, the director
designated by such Person may be removed at the request of a majority of the Board (excluding such
director or directors) upon the occurrence of such event and the total authorized number of
directors may be reduced upon such action by a majority of the Board (excluding such director or
directors) by the number of directors that such Person loses its rights to nominate.

          (c) The representatives designated hereunder by any Stockholder shall be nominated or
appointed, as the case may be, to serve as a Class I, Class II or Class III director (as defined in
the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation), as the case may be, as set forth on the Schedule of
Directors attached hereto. The initial term of each Class I, Class II and Class III Director shall
expire as set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. Any director designated by a
Stockholder hereunder to fill a vacancy on the board of directors shall be designated as the same
class of director as the director whose termination of services as a director created such vacancy
or to fill a vacancy as listed on the Schedule of Directors.

          (d) The Company shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each director in
connection with attending the meetings of the Board and any committee thereof.

          (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,

          (i) at such time as the Mitchell Investors and their Permitted Transferees hold in the
aggregate less than 3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; the rights of the
Mitchell Investors under this Section 1 to nominate any Mitchell Nominee shall
terminate automatically and cease to have any further force or

- 2 -

 

effect. In the event that the Mitchell Investors and their Permitted Transferees hold
in the aggregate less than 3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Mitchell
Investors shall have the right to designate one observer to the Board (an “Observer”), which
shall either be Lee Roy Mitchell or Tandy Mitchell. An Observer shall be entitled to attend
all meetings of the Board but shall not be entitled to (x) attend meetings of the Board with
counsel which may constitute privileged communications, (y) attend meetings of the Board
which include topics of discussion which may constitute a conflict of interest between the
Company and the Mitchell Investors, or (z) vote on any matters voted on by the Board. The
determination of whether a conflict of interest exists for purposes of clause (y) in the
immediately preceding sentence shall be made by a majority of the Board. If such a
determination is made prior to a Board meeting, the Board shall provide written notice to
the Mitchell Investors setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such conflict of
interest. Such a determination may be made during an ongoing Board meeting by a majority of
the Board and, upon such determination, the Observer shall immediately leave the meeting.
Upon the conclusion of the discussion (including any action by the Board thereon) which
constitutes a conflict of interest between the Company and the Mitchell Investors, the
Observer shall be invited to return to the meeting. The Mitchell Investors’ right to
designate an Observer shall terminate automatically and cease to have any further force or
effect upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Observer designated under this Section
1(e)(i) is not Lee Roy Mitchell or Tandy Mitchell; and (ii) the Mitchell Investors and
their Permitted Transferees cease to hold in the aggregate at least 2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The right of the Mitchell Investors to designate an Observer
hereunder shall not be transferable or assignable under any circumstances;

          (ii) the rights of the Mitchell Investors under this Section 1 shall terminate
automatically and cease to have any further force or effect at such time as the Mitchell
Investors and their Permitted Transferees hold, directly or indirectly, more than a 5%
interest of any business (other than the Company) that owns, operates or manages theatres
with more than 800 movie screens in the aggregate in the Western Hemisphere;

          (iii) the rights of the Quadrangle Investors under this Section 1 to nominate
the Quadrangle Nominee shall terminate automatically and cease to have any further force or
effect at such time as the Quadrangle Investors and their Permitted Transferees hold in the
aggregate less than 3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. In the event that the
Quadrangle Investors and their Permitted Transferees hold in the aggregate less than 3% of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Quadrangle Investors shall have the right to
designate an Observer, which shall be a member or employee of Quadrangle Group LLC. An
Observer shall be entitled to attend all meetings of the Board but shall not be entitled to
(x) attend meetings of the Board with the Company’s counsel or the Board’s special counsel
which may constitute privileged communications, (y) attend meetings of the Board which
include topics of discussion which may constitute a conflict of interest between the Company
and the Quadrangle Investors or (z) vote on any matters voted on by the Board. The
determination of whether a conflict of interest exists for purpose of clause (y) in the
immediately preceding sentence shall be made by a majority of the Board. If such a
determination is made prior to a Board meeting, the Board shall provide written notice to
the Quadrangle Investors

- 3 -

 

setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such conflict of interest. Such a
determination may be made during an ongoing Board meeting by a majority of the Board and
upon such determination the Observer shall immediately leave the meeting. Upon the
conclusion of the discussion (including any action by the Board thereon) which constitutes a
conflict of interest between the Company and the Quadrangle Investors, the Observer shall be
invited to return to the meeting. The Quadrangle Investors’ right to designate an Observer
shall terminate automatically and cease to have any further force or effect upon the earlier
to occur of (i) the Observer designated under this Section 1(e)(iii) is not a member
or employee of Quadrangle Group LLC (it being understood and agreed that, should the current
Observer at any time cease to be a member or employee of Quadrangle Group LLC, the
Quadrangle Investors’ right to designate an Observer shall not terminate unless the
Quadrangle Investors do not designate a replacement Observer who is a member or employee of
the Quadrangle Group LLC within 5 business days thereof); and (ii) the Quadrangle Investors
and their Permitted Transferees cease to hold in the aggregate at least 2% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock. The rights of the Quadrangle Investors to nominate the
Quadrangle Director or designate an Observer hereunder shall not be transferable or
assignable under any circumstances, except to a Permitted Transferee of the Quadrangle
Investors;

          (iv) the rights of the Syufy Investor under this Section 1 to nominate the
Syufy Nominee shall terminate automatically and cease to have any further force or effect at
such time as the Syufy Investor and its Permitted Transferees hold in the aggregate less
than 3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. In addition, the rights of the Syufy
Investor under this Section 1 to nominate the Syufy Nominee and designate an
Observer shall terminate automatically and cease to have any further force or effect at such
time as (1) the Syufy Investor, Raymond W. Syufy or Joseph Syufy breach the terms of Section
3 of the Non-Competition and Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated August 7, 2006, by and among
the Syufy Investor, Raymond W. Syufy, Joseph Syufy and the Company (the “Syufy
Non-Competition Agreement”) (this clause (1), a “Non-Curable Termination Event”) or (2) the
Syufy Investor or its Permitted Transferees, Raymond Syufy or Joseph Syufy (each, a “Syufy
Person”) holds, directly or indirectly, any interest of any business (other than the
Company) that owns, operates or manages movie theatres that are not drive-in theaters (a
“Competing Business”) but where such ownership would not violate Section 3 of the Syufy
Non-Competition Agreement (this clause (2), a “Curable Termination Event”); provided that
the foregoing loss of rights upon the ownership, operation or management of a Competing
Business shall not apply to (i) holding up to a 5% interest in any publicly traded company;
or (ii) holding an ownership interest in a Competing Business that (x) owns, operates or
manages less than 100 screens in the aggregate in any one or more states in which the
Company does not, at the time the Syufy Person first acquires such ownership interest, own,
operate or manage a movie theater and/or (y) owns, operates or manages less than 32 screens
in the aggregate in any one or more states in which the Company, at the time the Syufy
Person first acquires such ownership interest, owns, operates or manages a movie theater.
For purposes of calculating the number of screens for purposes of clause (ii) of the
foregoing sentence, movie screens acquired by a Syufy Person following an event of default
under a lease under which the Syufy Person is the lessor and which gives such lessor the
right to regain possession of and operate such theatre shall be disregarded

- 4 -

 

unless the Syufy Person demolishes and rebuilds a new theatre on the property. In the
event that the rights of the Syufy Investor to nominate the Syufy Nominee terminates by
reason of a Curable Termination Event, the Syufy Investor shall have the right to cure such
Curable Termination Event and the Syufy Investor’s rights to nominate the Syufy Nominee and
designate an Observer shall be reinstated at such time as there is no longer a Curable
Termination Event in effect. In the event that the Syufy Investor and its Permitted
Transferees hold in the aggregate less than 3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
the Syufy Investor shall continue to have the right to designate an Observer, which shall be
a director of the general partner of, or an executive officer of, Syufy Enterprises;
provided, however, that this right to designate an Observer shall not be granted to the
Syufy Investor if the Syufy Investor is in violation of the terms of the preceding sentence.
An Observer shall be entitled to attend all meetings of the Board but shall not be entitled
to (x) attend meetings of the Board with the Company’s counsel or the Board’s special
counsel which may constitute privileged communications, (y) attend meetings of the Board
which include topics of discussion which may constitute a conflict of interest between the
Company and the Syufy Investor or (z) vote on any matters voted on by the Board. The
determination of whether a conflict of interest exists for purpose of clause (y) in the
immediately preceding sentence shall be made by a majority of the Board. If such a
determination is made prior to a Board meeting, the Board shall provide written notice to
the Syufy Investor setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such conflict of
interest. Such a determination may be made during an ongoing Board meeting by a majority of
the Board and upon such determination the Observer shall immediately leave the meeting.
Upon the conclusion of the discussion (including any action by the Board thereon) which
constitutes a conflict of interest between the Company and the Syufy Investor, the Observer
shall be invited to return to the meeting. The Syufy Investor’s right to designate an
Observer shall terminate automatically and cease to have any further force or effect upon
the earlier to occur of (i) the Observer designated under this Section 1(e)(iii) is
not a director of the general partner or an executive officer of Syufy Enterprises (it being
understood and agreed that, should the current Observer at any time cease to be a director
of the general partner or an executive officer of Syufy Enterprises, the Syufy Investor’s
right to designate an Observer shall not terminate unless the Syufy Investor does not
designate a replacement Observer who is a member of the board of directors of the general
partner or an executive officer of Syufy Enterprises within 5 business days thereof); and
(ii) the Syufy Investor and their Permitted Transferees cease to hold in the aggregate at
least 2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The rights of the Syufy Investor to
nominate the Syufy Nominee or designate an Observer hereunder shall not be transferable or
assignable under any circumstances, except to a Permitted Transferee of the Syufy Investor;
and

          (v) the rights of MDCP under this Section 1 shall terminate automatically and
cease to have any further force or effect at such time as MDCP and its Permitted Transferees
hold in the aggregate less than 3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

          (f) At every meeting of the Board, or a committee thereof, for which Directors are appointed
or are nominated to stand for election by stockholders of the Company, each Stockholder will have
the right to designate those persons to be appointed or nominated for
election to the Board for each Retiring Director that was a prior Nominee of such Stockholder
in accordance with this Section 1.

- 5 -

 

          (g) If a vacancy occurs because of the death, disability, disqualification, resignation or
removal of a Nominee, the Stockholders who designated such person shall be entitled to designate
such person’s successors in accordance with this Agreement and the Board, subject to a
determination of the Board in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that such
action would not constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties or applicable law, shall fill the
vacancy with such successor Nominee.

          (h) If a Nominee is not nominated or elected to the Board because of the Nominee’s death,
disability, disqualification, withdrawal as a nominee or for other reason is unavailable or unable
to serve on the Board, the Stockholder who designated such person shall be entitled to designate
promptly another Nominee and the director position for which such Nominee was nominated shall not
be filled pending such designation.

     2. Company Obligations.

          (a) The Company agrees to use its best efforts to assure that (i) each Nominee is included in
the Board’s slate of nominees to the stockholders for each election of directors; and (ii) each
Nominee is included in the proxy statement prepared by management of the Company in connection with
soliciting proxies for every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called with respect to the
election of members of the Board, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every
action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of the Company or the Board with respect
to the election of members of the Board.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to
cause to be nominated for election to the Board or recommend to the stockholders the election of
any Nominee (i) who fails to submit to the Company on a timely basis such questionnaires as the
Company may reasonably require of its directors generally and such other information as the Company
may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of its filings under the Securities Laws;
or (ii) the Board or the Nominating Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with
outside legal counsel, that such action would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties or
applicable law or violate the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that upon
the occurrence of either (i) or (ii) above, the Company shall promptly notify the applicable
Stockholder of the occurrence of such event and permit the applicable Stockholder to provide an
alternate Nominee sufficiently in advance of any Board action, the meetings of the stockholders
called or written action of stockholders with respect to such election of nominees and the Company
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations under Section 2(a)
with respect to such alternate Nominee (provided that if the Company provides at least 45 days
advance notice of the occurrence of any such event such alternative nominee must be designated by
the applicable Stockholder not less than 30 days in advance of any Board action, notice of meeting
of the stockholders or written action of stockholders with respect to such election of nominees).
The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations under Section
2(a) with respect to such alternate Nominee provided, in no event shall the Company be
obligated to postpone, reschedule or delay any scheduled meeting of the stockholders with respect
to such election of Nominees.

- 6 -

 

          (c) At any time a vacancy occurs because of the death, disability, resignation or removal of a
Nominee, then the Board, or any committee thereof, shall not fill such vacancy until the earliest
to occur of (i) such Stockholder has designated a successor Nominee and the Board has filled the
vacancy and appointed such successor Nominee; (ii) such Stockholder fails to designate a successor
Nominee within 30 business days after receiving notification of the vacancy from the Company; and
(iii) such Stockholder has specifically waived its right under this Section 2(c).

          (d) At any time that any Stockholder shall have any rights of designation under this
Section 2, the Company shall not take any action to reduce the size of the Board from 9,
except as provided herein.

     3. Termination of Stockholders Agreement. Upon the Effective Time, the Stockholders Agreement
shall be hereby terminated and of no further force and effect, and no party thereto shall have any

force and effect.

     6. Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, no modification, amendment or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective against the Company or any holder of
Stockholder Shares unless such modification is approved in writing by the Company and each Major
Investor. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no
way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party
thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

     7. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in
such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law
or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the
validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction
or affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any provision in any other jurisdiction, but
this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

     8. Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement embodies
the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations
by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in
any way.

     9. Benefit of Parties; Transfer. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, legal representatives and Permitted
Transferees. In the event of a Transfer by a Stockholder, the transferee shall not have the rights
and powers of a Stockholder unless the transferee is a Permitted Transferee of the Stockholder
prior to and following the Transfer. Nothing herein contained shall confer or is intended to
confer on any third party or entity that is not a party to this Agreement any rights under this
Agreement.

     10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which
shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

     11. Remedies. The Company and the Stockholders shall be entitled to enforce their rights
under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of
this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties hereto agree
and acknowledge that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm and money damages
would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach and that, in addition to other rights and
remedies hereunder, the Company and the Stockholders shall be entitled to specific performance
and/or injunctive or other equitable relief (without posting a bond or other security) from any
court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violation of
the provisions of this Agreement.
