Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as indenture trustee and collateral agent (the “Secured Party”) under the indenture and credit agreement dated
as of January 20, 2010 (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture and Credit Agreement”) among PEAKS Trust 2009-1 (the
“Trust”), Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as the lender trustee (the “Lender Trustee”), and the Secured Party. 

RECITALS 
 A. The
Guarantor offers certain programs of education through schools that it owns and operates. 
 B. Many students attending the Guarantor’s
schools need private student loans to finance their education costs to the extent such costs are not fully covered by other sources. 
 C.
The Trust has been established pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated as of December 23, 2009 (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Trust Agreement”), between Access Group, Inc.,
as depositor (the “Depositor”), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, as owner trustee (in such capacity, the “Owner Trustee”), for the purpose of purchasing and holding loans made to students
attending the Guarantor’s schools (the “Student Loans”). 
 D. The Trust Agreement and the Indenture and Credit
Agreement provide for senior asset-backed notes to be issued by the Trust (the “Senior Notes”) and for a subordinate variable funding note to be issued by the Trust (the “Subordinated Note”) to provide
funds to purchase and hold Student Loans. The Senior Notes will be purchased by certain purchasers (the “Note Purchasers”) pursuant to the terms of a note purchase agreement dated as of January 20, 2010 (the
“Senior Notes Note Purchase Agreement”) between the Trust and the Note Purchasers and acknowledged by the Secured Party. 

E. The Trust Agreement and the Indenture and Credit Agreement also provide for the terms of a loan (the “Loan” and
together with the Senior Notes, the “Senior Credit”) to provide funds to purchase and hold Student Loans, which Loan will be made by a lender (the “Lender” and together with the Note Purchasers, the
“Senior Creditors”) to the Trust pursuant to a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) dated as of January 20, 2010 among the Trust, the Secured Party and the Lender. 

F. The proceeds of the Senior Notes and the Loan will be used to (a) purchase the Student Loans, (b) fund a reserve account (the
“Reserve Account”) held by the Secured Party and (c) pay certain fees of the Trust. Amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account will only be available to pay certain amounts that are due and owing with respect to the
Senior Credit and certain fees of the Trust as set forth in the Indenture and Credit Agreement. 

 G. As a condition to the issuance of the Senior Notes and the extension of the Loan, the
Indenture and Credit Agreement requires that the Guarantor guarantee the payment, on the terms set forth herein, of the Guaranteed Payments. 

H. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein (including in the preamble and the recitals hereto) shall have the meanings assigned to such
terms in the Indenture and Credit Agreement. 
 AGREEMENTS 

1. The Guarantor hereby (a) unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Secured Party the full and prompt payment when due from
time to time of: (i) all Ordinary Administrative Expenses payable on any Payment Date, (ii) all interest payable on the Senior Credit on any Payment Date or at the maturity of the Senior Credit (including as a result of the acceleration of
the maturity of the Senior Credit following an event of default under the Indenture and Credit Agreement), (iii) principal due and payable on the Senior Credit at the maturity of the Senior Credit (including as a result of the acceleration of
the maturity of the Senior Credit following an event of default under the Indenture and Credit Agreement), (iv) any Call Premium due upon a prepayment in full of the Senior Credit, (v) on any Payment Date after the Payment Date in February
2012, the Arranging Agent Fee for such Payment Date, (vi) on any Payment Date related to a Monthly Measurement Date on which the Asset/Liability Test is not satisfied (x) an amount sufficient to reduce the Outstanding Amount of the Senior
Credit to an amount that would satisfy the Asset/Liability Test if the Asset/Liability Test were calculated giving effect to such reduction, and (y) any Call Premium that is payable upon a payment of principal on the Senior Credit in the amount
set forth in clause (x), and (vii) to the extent not otherwise covered pursuant to clauses (i) -(vi) above, any principal and interest payable on the Senior Credit when due and any Call Premium due upon a prepayment in full of the
Senior Credit (the obligations identified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) being referred to herein as the “Guaranteed Payments”); (b) agrees to pay all costs, expenses and reasonable
attorneys’ fees incurred by the Secured Party in enforcing this Agreement; and (c) agrees to pay to the Secured Party the amount of any payments made to the Secured Party on account of the Guaranteed Payments which are recovered from the
Secured Party or the Senior Creditors by a trustee, receiver, creditor or other party pursuant to applicable law. The Guarantor shall not be required to make any payments in respect of any Guaranteed Payments as set forth herein unless Available
Funds and amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account available to make any such Guaranteed Payments on the related Payment Date are insufficient to pay any such Guaranteed Payments. 

2. To the extent that, as of the Monthly Measurement Date for a Payment Date, there are not sufficient Available Funds and amounts on deposit
in the Reserve Account available to pay any Guaranteed Payments on the related Payment Date, the Secured Party shall demand payment of any such Guaranteed Payments from the Guarantor by delivery of a demand for payment in substantially the form of
Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Payment Demand”). The Guarantor shall, by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately 

  
 -2- 

 
preceding the related Payment Date (or, if the Payment Demand is not delivered by the Secured Party on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the related Monthly Measurement Date,
then by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day following delivery of the Payment Demand), make payment of the amount demanded in immediately available funds to the account of the Secured Party identified in such Payment Demand.
Payment of any other amounts described in Section 1 shall be made promptly upon demand for payment thereof in writing from the Secured Party, which shall refer to this Agreement and identify the amount required to be paid in reasonable
detail. 
 3. This is a guarantee of payment, and not of collection. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to: (a) take any steps
whatsoever to collect from, or to file any claim of any kind against, the Trust or any other person or entity liable for payment of any Guaranteed Payments; or (b) take any steps whatsoever to protect, accept, obtain, enforce, take possession
of, perfect its interest in, foreclose or realize on collateral or security, if any, for the payment of the Guaranteed Payments (except for Available Funds and amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account held under the Indenture and Credit Agreement
and available for such payment in accordance with the terms thereof); or (c) in any other respect exercise any diligence whatever in collecting or attempting to collect any amount due under the Senior Credit or the Indenture and Credit
Agreement by any means. 
 4. The Guarantor’s liability for payment of the Guaranteed Payments in the manner provided in this Agreement
shall be absolute and unconditional; the Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably waives each and every defense which, under principles of guarantee or suretyship law, would otherwise operate to impair or diminish such liability; and nothing
whatever except actual full indefeasible payment to the Secured Party of the Guaranteed Payments shall operate to discharge the Guarantor’s liability hereunder. The Guarantor guarantees that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Guaranteed Payments will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Secured Party with
respect thereto. 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Secured Party shall have the right, which may (subject to the
specific consent rights of the Senior Creditors and other limitations provided in the Indenture and Credit Agreement), be exercised from time to time without diminishing or impairing the liability of the Guarantor in any respect, and without notice
of any kind to the Guarantor, to: (a) extend any additional credit to the Trust; (b) accept any collateral, security or guarantee for any Guaranteed Payments; (c) accept partial payment of Guaranteed Payments by the Guarantor;
(d) determine what, if anything, shall at any time be done with respect to any collateral or security; subordinate, sell, transfer, surrender, release or otherwise dispose of all or any of such collateral or security; and purchase or otherwise
acquire any such collateral or security at foreclosure or otherwise; and (e) with or without consideration grant, permit or enter into any waiver, amendment, extension, modification, refinancing, indulgence, compromise, settlement,
subordination, discharge or release of: (i) payment of any Guaranteed Payment by the Guarantor or any obligations of the Guarantor under any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Payments, (ii) any obligations of any other person or entity
liable for payment of the Guaranteed Payments, and any agreement of such person relating to such obligations, and (iii) any collateral or security or agreement relating to collateral or security for any of the foregoing. 

  
 -3- 

 5. Except as set forth in Section 2 hereof with respect to delivery of the Payment
Demand and other demands for payment, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally waives (a) presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand for payment and all notices of any kind, including without limitation, notice of: (i) acceptance hereof,
(ii) creation of the Senior Credit, (iii) nonpayment, nonperformance or other default on any Guaranteed Payments, and (iv) any action taken to collect upon or enforce any Guaranteed Payments; (b) any setoffs or counterclaims
against the Secured Party which would otherwise impair the Secured Party’s rights against the Guarantor hereunder; and (c) any other action, event or condition to the enforcement of this Agreement or the performance by the Guarantor of its
obligations hereunder. 
 6. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally waives any subrogation to the rights of the Secured Party, the Senior
Creditors, payees of Ordinary Administrative Expenses or the Arranging Agent against the Trust and any other claim against the Trust which arises as a result of payments made by the Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement, and agrees that its sole
right to receive reimbursement from the Trust for any such payments shall be the right to receive reimbursement of Guaranteed Payments paid by the Guarantor (without interest on any such amount) as provided in the Indenture and Credit Agreement. To
the extent the Guarantor has or acquires any other claims against the Trust, the Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Payments shall be prior to any such claims, whether or not the Trust becomes insolvent, and the Guarantor shall and does expressly
subordinate any such claims to any claim that the Secured Party may now or hereafter have against the Trust in respect of the Guaranteed Payments. 

7. The Guarantor has made an independent investigation and evaluation of the financial condition of the Trust and the value of any collateral,
and has not relied (and will not rely) on any information or evaluation provided by the Certificateholder, the Secured Party, the Owner Trustee, or any other person regarding such condition or value. The Guarantor has reviewed the Indenture and
Credit Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Senior Notes Note Purchase Agreement and the forms of the Senior Notes and the Loan Note and understands the nature of the Guaranteed Payments, including that any payment by the Guarantor of amounts demanded
for payment of any Guaranteed Payment pursuant to Section 2 hereof received after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date (or, if the Payment Demand is not delivered by the
Secured Party on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the related Monthly Measurement Date, then by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day following delivery of the Payment Demand) will be considered to be a failure
of the Guarantor to make a Guaranteed Payment when due. 
 8. The Guarantor represents and warrants that: 

(a) The Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the
power and all licenses necessary to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and is duly qualified and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the ownership of assets or the transaction of such business
requires such qualification. 

  
 -4- 

 (b) The Guarantor has the power, authority and legal right to make, deliver and perform this
Agreement and any other Basic Document to which it is a party and all of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and any other Basic
Document to which it is a party. This Agreement and any other Basic Documents to which the Guarantor is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Guarantor, enforceable against it in accordance with each of their respective
terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and court decisions with respect thereto and subject to the applicability of general principles of equity. No
consent of any other party and no consent, license, approval or authorization of, or registration or declaration with, any governmental authority, bureau or agency is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the
Guarantor of this Agreement or any other Basic Document to which it is a party or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any such Basic Document, other than such as have been met or obtained. 

(c) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Guarantor and all other agreements and instruments executed and delivered
by the Guarantor or to be executed and delivered by the Guarantor in connection with the issuance and sale of the Senior Notes and the borrowing under the Loan will not violate any provision of any existing law or regulation or any order or decree
of any court, regulatory body or administrative agency or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Guarantor or any other Basic Document to which the Guarantor is a party, or violate any contract or other agreement to which the Guarantor is
a party or by which the Guarantor or any property or assets of the Guarantor may be bound, except to the extent such violation could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Guarantor to perform its
obligations under this Agreement or any other Basic Document to which the Guarantor is a party. 
 (d) No litigation or administrative
proceeding of or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is presently pending or, to the knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened against the Guarantor or any properties of Guarantor or with respect to this Agreement, which, if adversely
determined, could have a material effect on the ability of the Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Basic Document to which the Guarantor is a party. 

(e) No injunction, writ, restraining order or other order of any nature against the Guarantor adversely affects the Guarantor’s
performance of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Basic Document to which the Guarantor is a party. 
 (f) The Guarantor is
solvent and able to meet its debts as they become due, the fair market value of its assets exceeds the aggregate amount of its debts and liabilities, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not cause the foregoing
statements to become untrue. 
 (g) The obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement are not junior, and will not be junior, in
priority of payment or in any other respect to any unsecured indebtedness of the Guarantor. 
 (h) The Guarantor understands that it is the
Trust’s intention that the Senior Credit and the Subordinated Note be treated as debt for federal income tax purposes, and agrees to so treat the Senior Credit and the Subordinated Note as debt instruments and to take no action inconsistent
therewith. 

  
 -5- 

 (i) The Guarantor maintains a corporate policy that the Guarantor shall advise students attending
schools owned and operated by the Guarantor to consider all federal student aid that is available. 
 9. The Guarantor hereby covenants that
it will maintain, during the term of the Loan Purchase Agreement, its corporate policy that the Guarantor shall advise students attending schools owned and operated by the Guarantor to consider all federal student aid that is available. 

10. The Guarantor hereby covenants that it will not arrange, directly or indirectly, for the prepayment of any Student Loan except as
expressly permitted in the Basic Documents. 
 11. The Guarantor agrees: (i) to review each Monthly Report prior to its delivery by the
Secured Party to the Creditors pursuant to Section 4.13(b) of the Indenture and Credit Agreement, as long as the Guarantor receives the applicable Monthly Report at least three Business Days prior to the date that the Secured Party delivers
that Monthly Report to the Senior Creditors; and (ii) that, if the Guarantor is required to make a payment pursuant to the terms of clause (vi) of Section 1 of this Agreement and that payment is material to the Guarantor, the
Guarantor will disclose that payment in a current report on Form 8-K with the SEC. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) no third party, including, without limitation, the Senior Creditors, can or shall rely in any way on the Guarantor’s
agreement to review each Monthly Report (1) to absolve any such third party or Senior Creditor from its obligations in respect of federal or state securities laws or regulations or (2) for any reason or purpose that has the effect of
transferring to the Guarantor any potential or actual responsibility, obligation or liability of the third party under the Securities Act ; and (b) the Guarantor neither has nor assumes, whether now or in the future, any responsibility,
obligation or liability whatsoever that directly or indirectly relates to or arises from any of the Senior Creditors’ compliance with any of the federal or state securities laws or regulations. 

12. The Guarantor shall provide to the Administrator and the Secured Party a certificate of an authorized officer of the Guarantor in the form
of Exhibit B hereto (the “Quarterly Report”) on the second Business Day following the date on which the Guarantor files its Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as applicable, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) for each such fiscal quarter or fiscal year, as applicable, which Quarterly Report shall set forth the financial and operating information referred to therein as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter
of the Guarantor. The Guarantor shall also provide to the Secured Party such other information regarding the financial condition of the Guarantor as the Secured Party may reasonably request from time to time. 

13. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Party on behalf of the Senior Creditors, the payees of Ordinary Administrative
Expenses, the Arranging Agent and their permitted successors and assigns and shall be binding upon the Guarantor and the Guarantor’s successors and assigns. 

  
 -6- 

 14. This is a continuing guarantee and shall continue in effect until the Guaranteed Payments
shall be paid in full and such payments are not subject to any right of recovery, at which time this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. The liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall be primary, absolute and
unconditional under all circumstances. This Agreement will continue to be effective if the Guarantor merges or consolidates with or into another entity, loses its separate legal identity or ceases to exist. 

15. No invalidity, irregularity, voidability, voidness or unenforceability of, or default under, the Indenture and Credit Agreement, or any
other Basic Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or of all or any part of the Guaranteed Payments or of any security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense to the obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement.

 16. No act, omission or delay by the Secured Party shall constitute a waiver of its rights and remedies hereunder or otherwise. No single
or partial waiver by the Secured Party of any default hereunder or right or remedy which it may have shall operate as a waiver of any other default, right or remedy or of the same default, right or remedy on a future occasion. 

17. This Agreement and the Indenture and Credit Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Secured Party and the Guarantor with
respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all previous communications and negotiations, and no representation, understanding, promise or condition concerning the subject matter hereof shall be binding upon the Secured Party unless expressed
herein or therein. 
 18. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent to any departure by the Guarantor
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Secured Party, subject to the specific consent rights of the Senior Creditors and other limitations provided in the Indenture and Credit Agreement, and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given. 
 19. The
Guarantor may not delegate any of its obligations or duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Secured Party. 

20. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof (other
than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law). 
 21. The Guarantor hereby consents to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of any state or federal court situated in the City of New York, New York, and waives any objection based on lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens, with regard to any actions, claims,
disputes or proceedings relating to this Agreement, or any document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, or any transaction arising from or connected to any of the foregoing. Nothing herein shall affect the Secured Party’s right
to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit the Secured Party’s right to bring proceedings against the Guarantor or its property or assets in the competent courts of any other jurisdiction or jurisdictions. 

  
 -7- 

 22. The Guarantor hereby waives any and all right to trial by jury in any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement, or any document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, or any transaction arising from or connected to any of the foregoing. The Guarantor represents that this waiver is knowingly, willingly and
voluntarily given.

This certificate is delivered to you pursuant to that certain Guarantee Agreement dated as of January 20, 2010 (the “Guarantee
Agreement”) between ITT Educational Services, Inc. and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as indenture trustee and collateral agent (the “Secured Party”). Capitalized terms used in this certificate and not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned in the Guarantee Agreement, or if not defined in the Guarantee Agreement, in the Indenture and Credit Agreement. The undersigned, on behalf of the Guarantor, hereby certifies to the Secured Party
and the Administrator that as of the                     , 20     Quarterly Measurement Date, the following (in
each case calculated as described in the Indenture and Credit Agreement) is true and correct in all respects: 
 1. The ratio of the
Guarantor’s Debt on such date (exclusive of the amount of Guarantees that under GAAP are not required to be recorded as a liability on the Guarantor’s financial statements) to its EBITDA for the period of the four consecutive fiscal
quarters ended on such date was          to 1.00. 
 2. The ratio of the Guarantor’s
Debt on such date (inclusive of the amount of Guarantees that under GAAP are not required to be recorded as a liability on the Guarantor’s financial statements) to its EBITDA for the period of the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on such
date was          to 1.00. 
 3. The sum of the entries “cash,” “cash
equivalents” and “restricted cash” (or any such substantially similar category that is a successor to any such category as noted on the financial statements of the Guarantor) on the balance sheet of the Guarantor, determined in

 4. The sum of the entries “cash,” “cash equivalents,” “restricted
cash” and “short-term investments” (or any such substantially similar category that is a successor to any such category as noted on the financial statements of the Guarantor) on the balance sheet of the Guarantor, determined in

 Based on the foregoing, a Trigger is [not] in effect with respect to the above mentioned
Quarterly Measurement Date. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has caused this certificate to be executed and delivered by its

CREDIT DETAILS AND FORM OF NOTES; SUBORDINATED NOTE ADVANCES 

Section 2.01. Credit Details. No Credit may be issued under this Agreement except in accordance with the provisions of this
Article. The Senior Notes, together with the Secured Party’s certificate of authentication, shall be issued on the Closing Date in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B-1 hereto with an aggregate initial principal amount
equal to the Initial Senior Notes Balance and the Subordinated Note shall be issued on the Closing Date in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B-2 hereto. The Loan Notes shall be issued on
the Closing Date in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B-3 hereto with an aggregate initial principal amount equal to the Initial Loan Balance. The Notes and the Loan Notes shall be issued
in definitive form, typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined by the Authorized Representatives executing the Notes and the Loan Notes,
as evidenced by their execution of the Notes and the Loan Notes.  
 (a) Senior Notes. Each Senior Note issued pursuant
to this Agreement shall bear interest during each Interest Accrual Period at a per annum rate equal to the Interest Rate. The Outstanding Amount of each Senior Note shall be reflected by a notation on the Register, and such notation shall be
adjusted from time to time by the Registrar to reflect decreases in the Outstanding Amount thereof resulting from any principal payments thereon made pursuant to Section 5.03. On each Payment Date, each Senior Note shall be entitled to
payment of Call Premium, if any, payable on such Payment Date. No Senior Note may be transferred in a denomination of less than $100,000. 

(b) Subordinated Note. The Subordinated Note issued pursuant to this Agreement shall not bear interest. The Outstanding Amount
of the Subordinated Note on each Subordinated Note Funding Date shall be reflected by a notation on the Register, and such notation shall be adjusted from time to time by the Registrar to reflect (i) increases in the Outstanding Amount thereof
resulting from Subordinated Note Advances being made to the Issuer and (ii) decreases resulting from any principal payments thereon made pursuant to Section 5.03(b) and the second to last paragraph of Section 5.02 and
from reductions in the Outstanding Amount of the Subordinated Note equal to 28% of the Gross Refunded Amount of each Refunded Financed Loan. The Subordinated Note shall be issued as a single note representing the entire Outstanding Amount and
Maximum Subordinated Note Balance of the Subordinated Note. Subordinated Note Advances shall be made as set forth in Section 2.3 of the Subordinated Note Note Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no
event may the Subordinated Note or any portion of the Outstanding Amount thereof or any obligation to make Subordinated Note Advances thereunder be transferred prior to the expiration of the Transfer Period. No Subordinated Note may be transferred
in a denomination of less than $5,000,000.

 (c) Loan. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Lender will make the Loan to the Issuer on
the terms and conditions of this Agreement in an amount equal to the Initial Loan Amount. The Loan shall bear interest during each Interest Accrual Period at a per annum rate equal to the Interest Rate. The Outstanding Amount of the Loan shall be
reflected by a notation on the Register, and such notation shall be adjusted from time to time by the Registrar to reflect decreases in the Outstanding Amount thereof resulting from any principal payments thereon made pursuant to
Section 5.03. On each Payment Date, the Lender shall be entitled to payment of Call Premium, if any, payable on such Payment Date. The Loan shall be evidenced by one or more Loan Notes of the Issuer to the Lender substantially in the
form of Exhibit B-3 hereto, dated the Closing Date and otherwise duly completed. 
 Section 2.02. Execution, Authentication
and Delivery of the Notes. The Notes shall be executed in the name and on behalf of the Issuer by the manual signature of an Authorized Representative. The Notes may be manually signed or attested on behalf of the Issuer by any person who, at
the date of such act, shall hold the proper office or position, notwithstanding that at the date of authentication, issuance or delivery, such person may have ceased to hold such office or position. 

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. A Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in Section 2.05 hereof. 

Section 2.03. Register; Registration and Transfer of the Credit; Persons Treated as Registered Owners. The Registrar shall keep a
register (the “Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Credit, the registration of transfers of Credit and the notation
of changes in the Outstanding Amount of Credit. The Secured Party shall be the initial “Registrar”, which Registrar shall act solely for purposes of this Section 2.03 as the agent of the Issuer. Upon any
resignation of any Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor. Notwithstanding such appointment and with the prior written consent of the Issuer, the Secured Party is hereby authorized to make any arrangements with other institutions
which it deems necessary or desirable in order that such institutions may perform the duties of transfer agent or Registrar for the Credit.  

Subject to the restrictions set forth herein and in the Loan Agreement, the Lender may at any time sell or assign all or any portion of its
interest in the Loan and its rights and the obligations due to it as a Lender pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Agreement. In connection with any such sale or assignment, the Lender shall assign and convey all or a
portion of the Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Agreement; provided that the Lender may not sell or assign all or any portion of its interest in the Loan in increments of less than $1,000,000. Upon such
a sale or assignment and the recordation of such transfer in the Register, the purchaser shall be treated as a Lender for purposes of this Agreement. The Lender may at any time grant participations in all or part of its interest in the Loan and its
rights and the obligations due to it under this Agreement and the Loan Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Loan Agreement. 

  
 20 

 Upon surrender for transfer of a Note or a Loan Note at the Principal Office of the Registrar,
duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the Registered Owner or the Lender, as applicable, or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and subject to the transfer restrictions of Section 2.09 hereof,
within ten Business Days thereafter, (i) the Issuer shall execute and the Secured Party shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees, one or more new and fully registered Notes or Loan Notes with the same interest
rate, Outstanding Amount and Final Maturity Date, as applicable and (ii) the Registrar shall register such transfer in the Register. Each such new Note or Loan Notes shall be payable to such transferee as such transferee may request and shall
be substantially in the form of the Note or Loan Note attached as Exhibit B-1, Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3, as applicable. Each such new Senior Note and Loan Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest
shall have been paid on the surrendered Senior Note or Loan Note or dated the date of the surrendered Senior Note or Loan Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. 

The person in whose name a Note or Loan Note shall be registered in the Register shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof or
Lender with respect thereto, as applicable, for all purposes, and payment of either principal of or interest on such Note or with respect to the applicable portion of the Loan shall be made only to or upon the written order of the Registered Owner
or Lender thereof or its legal representative but such registration may be changed as hereinabove provided. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Note or the Loan to the extent of the sum or
sums paid. 
 By execution of the related Note Purchase Agreement, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each holder of a
Note acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of a Note set forth in the Securities Legend and agrees that it will transfer the Note only as provided herein. By execution of the Loan Agreement or an assignment and assumption executed in
connection therewith, each Lender acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer or assignment of the Loan set forth in the Loan Agreement and agrees that it will transfer or assign the Loan only as provided in the Loan Agreement. 

No transfer of a Note shall be made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws. None of the Issuer, the Secured Party, the Guarantor or the Depositor intends or is obligated to register or qualify any of the Notes or the Loan under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. 

The Secured Party shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed
under this Agreement or the Loan Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in a Note or the Loan other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required
by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Agreement or the Loan Agreement, as applicable. 
 Each
initial Registered Owner of a Note and each transferee of a Note shall represent and warrant that such Note may not be acquired by an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code or by any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other plan which is subject to substantially similar law (“Similar Law”), (collectively, a “Plan”) or a Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or a
Person using the assets  

  
 21 

 
of any such Plan, unless the acquisition, holding and disposition of the Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code because it will satisfy the requirements for exemptive relief under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, PTCE 90-1, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 95-60, PTCE 96-23 or the statutory
exemption for nonfiduciary service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA or Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code or another applicable administrative or statutory exemption and in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, will not result
in a non-exempt violation of such substantially similar law. 
 Each Registered Owner of a Subordinated Note and each
transferee of a Subordinated Note shall represent and warrant that it is either (i) a United States Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code and is not a partnership or grantor trust under Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Code or that it is an S Corporation within the meaning of Section 1361 of the Code or (ii) a nominee for another holder that satisfies the requirements of clause (i). 

The Secured Party shall require the payment by any Creditor requesting the exchange or transfer of a Note of any tax or other governmental
charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer. The applicant for any such transfer or exchange may be required to pay all taxes and governmental charges in connection with such transfer or exchange, other than exchanges
pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof. 
 Section 2.04. Lost, Stolen, Destroyed and Mutilated Notes. Upon receipt by the
Secured Party of evidence satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Note or Loan Note and, in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Note or Loan Note, of indemnity satisfactory to it, and upon
surrender and cancellation of the Note or Loan Note, if mutilated, (a) within ten Business Days thereafter, the Issuer shall execute, and the Secured Party shall authenticate and deliver, a replacement Note or Loan Note of the same interest
rate, Outstanding Amount, Maximum Outstanding Amount and Final Maturity Date, as applicable, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or Loan Note or (b) with respect to the Senior Notes and Loan Notes, if such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Senior Note or Loan Note shall have matured or within 15 days shall be due and payable, in lieu of executing and delivering a new Senior Note or Loan Note as aforesaid, the Issuer may pay the Senior Note or related Lender when
so due or payable. Any such new Note or Loan Note shall bear a number not contemporaneously outstanding. The applicant for any such new Note or Loan Note may be required to pay all taxes and governmental charges and all expenses and charges of the
Issuer and of the Secured Party in connection with the issuance of the Note or Loan Note. The Notes and the Loan shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing conditions are exclusive with
respect to the replacement and payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and Loan Notes, negotiable instruments or other securities. 

Section 2.05. Secured Party’s Certificate of Authentication. The Secured Party’s certificate of authentication upon the
Notes and the Loan Notes shall be substantially in the form attached to the form of the Notes and the Loan Notes attached as Exhibit B-1, Exhibit B-2 and Exhibit B-3 hereto. No Note or Loan Note shall be secured hereby or entitled
to the benefit hereof, or shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless a certificate of authentication, substantially in such form, has been duly executed by the Secured Party; and such certificate of 

  
 22 

 
the Secured Party upon a Note or Loan Note shall be conclusive evidence and the only competent evidence that such Note or Loan Note has been authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Secured
Party’s certificate of authentication shall be deemed to have been duly executed by it if manually signed by a Responsible Officer or signatory of the Secured Party, but it shall not be necessary that the same person sign the certificate of
authentication on each Note or Loan Note issued hereunder. 
 Section 2.06. Cancellation and Destruction of Notes and Loan Notes by
the Secured Party. Whenever a Note or Loan Note shall be delivered to the Secured Party for the cancellation thereof pursuant to this Agreement, upon payment of the principal amount and interest represented thereby, or for transfer pursuant to
Section 2.03 hereof or replacement pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof, such Note or Loan Note shall be promptly cancelled and shall be disposed of in a manner determined by the Secured Party or shall be returned to the Issuer
upon the Issuer’s request. 
 Section 2.07. Payment of Principal and Interest on Senior Credit; Mandatory
Prepayment. 
 (a) Interest on the Senior Credit shall be payable on each Payment Date as specified in
Section 5.03(b)(iii)(a) hereof, subject to Section 4.01 hereof. Amounts paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on each Payment Date shall be paid to the Persons in whose name the Senior Notes and the Loan Notes are
registered on the related Record Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by the Registered Owner of such Senior Note or by the Lender with respect to such Loan Notes, as applicable, except for the final
installment of principal payable with respect to a Senior Note or the Loan on a Payment Date or at Maturity which shall be payable as provided below. The amount of interest distributable to the Senior Creditors will be calculated by applying the
Interest Rate for the Interest Accrual Period to the Outstanding Amount of the Senior Credit as of the first day of the related Interest Accrual Period (after giving effect to payments made on such date) and multiplying that product by the actual
number of days in the Interest Accrual Period divided by 360. 
 (b) The principal of each Senior Note and the Loan shall be
payable on each Payment Date as provided in Section 5.03(b)(v)(i) hereof. The entire unpaid principal amount of each such Senior Note and the Loan shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on its Final Maturity Date or on the
date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing if the Secured Party or the Majority Priority Class Creditors shall have declared the Senior Credit to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in
Section 6.08 hereof. The Secured Party shall notify the Person in whose name a Senior Note is registered or the Lender with respect to a Loan Note at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer
expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on the Senior Credit will be paid. Such notice shall be delivered pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify the place where the
Senior Notes and the Loan Notes shall be surrendered for cancellation; provided, however, Senior Creditors are not required to surrender their Senior Notes or Loan Notes in order to receive such final payment at Maturity but shall not
be entitled to any further payments on their Senior Credit once such Senior Credit has been paid in full. 

  
 23 

 (c) If the Asset/Liability Ratio computed by the Administrator on any Monthly
Measurement Date (i) on which no Trigger is in effect, is less than 105%, the Senior Credit shall be subject to mandatory prepayment on the related Payment Date to the extent necessary to cause the Asset/Liability Ratio to be equal to 105%
(computed on such Monthly Measurement Date but after giving effect to such prepayment as if such prepayment had occurred during the related Collection Period) and (ii) on which a Trigger is in effect, is less than 140%, the Senior Credit shall
be subject to mandatory prepayment on the related Payment Date to the extent necessary to cause the Asset/Liability Ratio to be equal to 140% (computed on such Monthly Measurement Date but after giving effect to such prepayment as if such prepayment
had occurred during the related Collection Period). 
 (d) In the circumstances described in Section 5.03(c),
amounts received from the Guarantor with respect to payments of principal of and interest on the Senior Credit shall be applied as provided in Section 5.03(c). 

(e) All payments and prepayments of principal of and interest on the Senior Credit shall be made in lawful money of the United
States of America. 
 Section 2.08. Payment of the Subordinated Note. 

(a) The Subordinated Note shall not be entitled to any payments in respect of interest. Amounts paid or duly provided for by
the Issuer on the Subordinated Note on a Payment Date on which a payment of principal on the Subordinated Note is due shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Subordinated Note is registered on the related Record Date by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account designated by the Registered Owner of the Subordinated Note, except for the final installment of principal payable with respect to the Subordinated Note on a Payment Date or at Maturity which shall be
payable as provided below. 
 (b) The principal of the Subordinated Note shall be payable on each Payment Date (i) as
provided in Section 5.03(b)(ix) hereof from Available Funds, if any, remaining after Available Funds are applied as provided in Section 5.03(b)(i)-(viii) and (ii) pursuant to the second to last paragraph of
Section 5.02. The entire unpaid principal amount of the Subordinated Note shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, at Maturity. The Secured Party shall notify the Person in whose name the Subordinated Note is registered at the close of
business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of the Subordinated Note will be paid. Such notice shall be delivered pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof prior to
such final Payment Date and shall specify the place where the Subordinated Note shall be surrendered for cancellation; provided, however, the Registered Owner of the Subordinated Note is not required to surrender the Subordinated Note
in order to receive such final payment at Maturity. 

  
 24 

 (c) All payments of principal of the Subordinated Note shall be made in lawful
money of the United States of America. 
 Section 2.09. Transfer Restrictions. Each person who is or who becomes a Registered
Owner of a Note shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of its Note to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Section. The Registered Owner of each Note (other than the Guarantor as Registered Owner of the Subordinated Note)
shall qualify as (i) an institutional “accredited investor” as that term is defined under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, or (ii) a “qualified institutional
buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. No Note may be transferred, unless the proposed purchaser or transferee shall have delivered to the Issuer an express agreement substantially in the form of
the Investment Letter attached as Exhibit D-1 or Exhibit D-2 hereto, as applicable. Each person who is or who becomes a Lender pursuant to the execution of an assignment and assumption agreement under the Loan Agreement and the

hereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of or constitute (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) a default under the organizational documents of the Issuer, or any material indenture, agreement,
mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which it is bound, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of its material properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement,
mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument, other than this Agreement, nor violate any law or any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Issuer of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other

(viii) Tax and Accounting Treatment. The Issuer shall treat the transactions contemplated by the Loan Purchase Agreement
as an absolute transfer rather than as a pledge of the Financed Loans (including the Participation Interests) from the Originating Lender for federal income tax and financial accounting purposes and the Issuer will be treated as the beneficial owner

franchise and other tax purposes and financial accounting purposes. 
 (ix) Taxes. The Issuer has filed (or caused to
be filed) all federal, state, county, local and foreign income, franchise and other tax returns required to be filed by it through the Closing Date, and has paid all taxes reflected as due thereon. There is no pending dispute with any taxing
authority that, if determined adversely to the Issuer, would result in the assertion by any taxing authority of any material tax deficiency, and the Issuer has no knowledge of a proposed liability for any tax year to be imposed upon such
entity’s properties or assets for which there is not an adequate reserve reflected in such entity’s current financial statements.

conveyed to it under the Loan Purchase Agreement for a bona fide business purpose and has undertaken the transactions contemplated herein as principal rather than as an agent of any other Person. The Issuer has no subsidiaries, has operated
consistently with all requirements for statutory trusts under the laws of the State of Delaware with respect to its operations and has engaged in no other 

  
 34 

 
business or activities other than those specified in this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and in accordance with the transactions contemplated herein and therein. 

(xii) Compliance with Laws. The Issuer is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws and
regulations with respect to the conduct of its business and has obtained and maintains all permits, licenses and other approvals as are necessary for the conduct of its operations, including, without limitation, the purchase, holding and collection
of the Financed Loans. 
 (xiii) Valid Business Reasons; No Fraudulent Transfers. The transactions contemplated by
this Agreement are in the ordinary course of the Issuer’s business and the Issuer has valid business reasons for granting the Trust Estate pursuant to this Agreement. At the time of each such grant: (A) the Issuer granted the Trust Estate
to the Secured Party without any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any current or future creditor of the Issuer; (B) the Issuer was not insolvent and did not become insolvent as a result of any such grant; (C) the Issuer was not engaged
and was not about to engage in any business or transaction for which any property remaining with such entity was an unreasonably small capital or for which the remaining assets of such entity are unreasonably small in relation to the business of
such entity or the transaction; (D) the Issuer did not intend to incur, and did not believe and should not have reasonably believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as they become due; and (E) the consideration received
by the Issuer for the grant of the Trust Estate was reasonably equivalent to the value of the grant.

foregoing. 
 (xv) Ability to Perform. There has been no material impairment in the ability of the Issuer to perform
its obligations under this Agreement.

occurred and no event has occurred that, with the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both, would become an Event of Default. 

(xviii) No Material Misstatements or Omissions. No information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished in
writing or report delivered to the Secured Party, the Administrator, the Servicer, the Guarantor or any Creditor by the Issuer contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact necessary to make such information, certificate,
statement or report not misleading. 

  
 35 

 (xix) Grant. It is the intention of the Issuer that the pledge herein
contemplated constitutes a grant of a security interest in the Trust Estate to the Secured Party. 
 (xx) Liens. The
Issuer has not caused, suffered or permitted any Lien with respect to the Trust Estate (other than the security interest created in favor of the Secured Party) to be created. 

(xxi) Transfer Not Subject to Bulk Transfer Act. No grant of a security interest in the Financed Loans by the Issuer
pursuant to this Agreement is subject to any bulk transfer act or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction. 

(xxii) No Transfer Taxes Due. No grant of a security interest in the Financed Loans (including all payments due or to
become due thereunder) by the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement is subject to or will result in any tax, fee or governmental charge payable by the Issuer to any federal, state or local government.

first-priority, perfected security interest in the Trust Estate; 

  
 36

Section 5.05. Investment of Funds Held by Secured Party. The Secured Party shall invest money held for the credit of the
Collection Account, the Reserve Account and the Acquisition Account, including any Subaccount of such Accounts, held by the Secured Party hereunder as directed in writing by an Authorized Representative of the Issuer, to the fullest extent
practicable and reasonable, in Investment Securities which shall mature or be redeemed at par value at the option of the holder prior to the respective dates when the money held for the credit of such Account will be required for the purposes
intended, but no later than the next Payment Date. In the absence of any such direction and to the extent practicable, the Secured Party shall invest amounts held hereunder in those Investment Securities described in clause (c) of the
definition of Investment Securities. All such investments shall be held by (or by any custodian on behalf of) the Secured Party and, if in registered form shall be registered in the name of the Secured Party and all interest and other investment
income collected (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Reserve Account and the Acquisition Account shall be deposited into the Collection Account when received. The Secured Party and the Issuer
hereby agree that unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, the Issuer acting by and through an Authorized Representative shall be entitled to, and shall, provide written direction to the Secured Party with respect
to any discretionary acts required or permitted of the Secured Party under any Investment Securities and the Secured Party shall not take such discretionary acts without such written direction. 

The Investment Securities purchased shall be held by the Secured Party and shall be deemed at all times to be held for the credit of such
Account or Subaccounts or combination thereof, and the Secured Party shall inform the Issuer of the details of all such investments. The Secured Party shall present for redemption any Investment Securities purchased by it as an investment whenever
it shall be necessary to provide money to meet any payment from the applicable Account. The Secured Party shall, on or before the fifteenth day of each calendar month (or such later date as reasonably consented to by the Issuer), provide the Issuer
with a monthly statement which shall list all investments held for the credit of each applicable Account in its custody under the provisions of this Agreement as of the end of the preceding month and the balance thereof, and shall list any
investments which were sold or liquidated during such preceding calendar month. 
 Money in any Account constituting a part of the Trust
Estate may be pooled for the purpose of making investments and may be used to pay accrued interest on Investment Securities purchased. The Secured Party and its affiliates may act as principal or agent in the acquisition or disposition of any
Investment Securities. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Secured Party shall not be responsible or liable for any losses on investments
made by it hereunder or for keeping all funds held by it, fully invested at all times, its only responsibility being to comply with the written investment instructions of the Issuer or its designee in a
non-negligent manner. 

  
 45 

 The Issuer acknowledges that to the extent the regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or
other applicable regulatory agency grant the Issuer the right to receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions, the Issuer waives receipt of such confirmations. 

Section 5.06. Release. 

(a) The Secured Party shall, upon Issuer Order and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, take all actions reasonably
requested by the Issuer to effect the release of a Financed Loan from the lien of this Agreement to the extent the terms hereof expressly permit the sale, disposition or transfer of the Financed Loan. 

(b) Subject to the payment of its fees and expenses pursuant to Sections 7.05 and 7.07 hereof, the Secured
Party may, and when required by the provisions of this Agreement shall, execute instruments to release property from the lien of this Agreement, or convey the Secured Party’s interest in the same, in a manner and under circumstances that are
not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Secured Party as provided in this Article shall be bound to ascertain the Secured Party’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of
any conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys. 
 (c) The Secured Party shall, at such time as no Credit
is Outstanding and all sums due the Secured Party pursuant to Sections 7.05 and 7.07 hereof and all amounts payable to the Secured Party, the Owner Trustee, the Lender Trustee, the Administrator, the Servicer, the Originating
Lender and the Guarantor have been paid, release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate that secured the Credit from the lien of this Agreement and release to the Issuer or any other Person entitled thereto any funds then on deposit in the
Accounts.

such notice. 
 Section 6.02. Remedy on Default; Possession of Trust Estate. Subject to Sections 6.08, 7.05
and 7.07 hereof, upon the happening and continuance of any Event of Default, the Secured Party may, or at the direction of the Majority Priority Class Creditors, shall, take possession of such portion of the Trust Estate as shall be in the
custody of others, and all property comprising the Trust Estate, and each and every part thereof, and exclude the Issuer and its agents, servants and employees wholly therefrom, and have, hold, use, operate, manage, and control the same and each and
every part thereof, and in the name of the Issuer or otherwise, as it shall deem best, conduct the business thereof and exercise the privileges pertaining thereto and all the rights and powers of the Issuer and use all of the then existing Trust
Estate for that purpose, and collect and receive all charges, income and Available Funds of the same and of every part thereof, and after deducting therefrom all expenses incurred hereunder in the collection of such amounts, the Secured Party shall
apply the rest and residue of the money received by the Secured Party in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 5.03(b). 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Sections 6.01(a) or (b) hereof and prior to an acceleration of
maturity of the Credit pursuant to Section 6.08 hereof, any Available Funds received by the Secured Party shall be immediately distributed pursuant to this Section. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and an acceleration of the

Party may advise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant, condition, agreement or undertaking herein contained, or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for the enforcement of such other appropriate legal or equitable
remedies as may be more effectual to protect and enforce the rights aforesaid. 

  
 48 

 Section 6.04. Remedies on Default; Sale of Trust Estate. Upon the happening of any
Event of Default and if the principal of all of the Outstanding Credit shall have been declared due and payable, then and in every such case, and irrespective of whether other remedies authorized shall have been pursued in whole or in part, the
Secured Party may, or at the direction of the Majority Priority Class Creditors, shall, sell, with or without entry, to the highest bidder all or any portion of the Trust Estate, and all right, title, interest, claim and demand thereto and the right
of redemption thereof, at any such place or places, and at such time or times and upon such notice and terms as may be required by law. Upon such sale the Secured Party may make and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient
assignment or conveyance for the same, which sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Issuer and all Persons claiming such properties. No purchaser at any sale shall be bound to see to the application of the purchase money
or to inquire as to the authorization, necessity, expediency or regularity of any such sale. The Secured Party is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of the Issuer, in its name and stead, to make and execute all bills of sale, instruments of assignment and transfer and such other documents of transfer
as may be necessary or advisable in connection with a sale of all or part of the Trust Estate, but the Issuer, if so requested by the Secured Party, shall ratify and confirm any sale or sales by executing and delivering to the Secured Party or to
such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be necessary, or in the judgment of the Secured Party, proper for the purpose which may be designated in such request. In addition, the Secured Party may proceed to protect and enforce the
rights of the Secured Party and the Creditors in such manner as directed pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.11 hereof and, in the event no direction is received from the Majority Priority Class Creditors, in such manner as counsel
for the Secured Party may advise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant, condition, agreement or undertaking herein contained, or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for the enforcement of such other appropriate
legal or equitable remedies as may be more effectual to protect and enforce the rights aforesaid. The Secured Party shall take any such action or actions if requested to do so in writing by the Majority Priority Class Creditors. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 15 of the Loan Purchase Agreement, the Secured Party is prohibited from selling the
Financed Loans during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, other than a default in the payment of any principal or interest on any Credit, unless the Majority Priority Class Creditors consent to such a sale. 

Section 6.05. Appointment of Receiver. In case an Event of Default occurs, and if the Outstanding Credit shall have been declared
due and payable and in case any judicial proceedings are commenced to enforce any right of the Secured Party or the Creditors under this Agreement or otherwise, then as a matter of right, the Secured Party shall be entitled to the appointment of a
receiver of the Trust Estate and of the earnings, income or revenue, rents, issues and profits thereof with such powers as the court making such appointments may confer. 

Section 6.06. Restoration of Position. In case the Secured Party shall have proceeded to enforce any rights under this Agreement
by sale or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued, or shall have been determined adversely to the Secured Party, then and in every such case to the extent not inconsistent with such adverse decree, the Issuer, the Secured Party
and the Creditors shall be restored to their former respective positions and the rights hereunder in respect to the Trust Estate, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Secured Party and the Creditors shall continue as though no such proceeding
had been taken. 

  
 49 

 Section 6.07. Application of Sale Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of the Trust
Estate, together with any funds at the time held by the Secured Party and not otherwise required to be used for a specific purpose pursuant to this Agreement, shall be applied by the Secured Party in accordance with the priority of payments as set
forth in Section 5.03(b) hereof, and then to the Issuer or whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled thereto. 

Section 6.08. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and
in every such case the Secured Party or the Majority Priority Class Creditors may declare the Outstanding Credit to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Secured Party if given by the Creditors), and upon
any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of such Outstanding Credit, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon (with respect to the Senior Credit) to the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable, subject,
however, to Section 6.04 hereof. 
 At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and
before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Secured Party as hereinafter provided in this Article, the Majority Priority Class Creditors, by written notice to the Issuer and the Secured Party, may rescind and
annul such declaration and its consequences if either of the following occur: 
 (a) the Issuer has paid or deposited with
the Secured Party a sum sufficient to pay: 
 (i) all payments of principal of and interest, as applicable, on the Credit
and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and 

(ii) all sums paid or advanced by the Secured Party hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Secured Party, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator and the Servicer and their agents and counsel; or 
 (b)
all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Credit that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.14 hereof. 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

Section 6.09. Remedies Not Exclusive. The remedies herein conferred upon or reserved to the Secured Party or the Majority Priority
Class Creditors are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each remedy herein provided shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing, and every power and remedy hereby
given to the Secured Party or the Majority Priority Class Creditors, or any supplement hereto, may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient. No delay or omission of the Secured Party or the Majority Priority Class Creditors
to exercise any power or right arising from any default hereunder shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or to be acquiescence therein. 

  
 50 

 Section 6.10. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Secured Party.
The Issuer covenants that if: 
 (a) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest, if any, on any Credit
when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of five Business Days; or 
 (b) default
is made in the payment of the principal of any Credit at its Maturity, 
 then the Issuer shall pay to the Secured Party, for the benefit of the Creditors,
but solely from the Trust Estate, the whole amount then due and payable on such Credit for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if applicable, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and
expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Party and its agents and counsel. Such amounts shall be applied as provided in Section 5.03(b). 

If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith, the Secured Party, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may upon receiving
indemnification satisfactory to the Secured Party institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or any other
obligor upon such Credit and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or any other obligor upon such Credit, wherever situated. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Secured Party may, after being indemnified to its satisfaction and in its discretion,
proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Creditors by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Secured Party shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any
covenant or agreement in this Agreement or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 

Section 6.11. Direction of Secured Party. Upon the happening of any Event of Default, the Majority Priority Class Creditors (or,
in the event there is no Senior Credit Outstanding, the Administrator, (i) if a default has occurred and is continuing under the Guarantee Agreement and (ii) in the case of clause (c) below) shall have the right by an instrument or
instruments in writing delivered to the Secured Party to direct and control the Secured Party as to (a) the method of taking any and all proceedings for any sale of any or all of the Trust Estate hereunder, (b) the appointment of a
receiver, if permitted by law, or (c) the direction to be given to the Secured Party in respect of the pursuit of remedies under the Guarantee Agreement, and may at any time cause any proceedings authorized by the terms hereof to be so taken or
to be discontinued or delayed; provided, however, that such Majority Priority Class Creditors (or, in the event there is no Senior Credit Outstanding, the Administrator, (i) if a default has occurred
and is continuing under the Guarantee Agreement and  

  
 51 

 
(ii) in the case of clause (c) above) shall not be entitled to cause the Secured Party to take any proceedings which in the Secured Party’s opinion would be unjustly prejudicial to non-assenting Priority Class Creditors or, with respect to the pursuit of remedies under the Guarantee Agreement, would be unjustly prejudicial to the other payees of Guaranteed Payments with respect to Guaranteed
Payments that would otherwise be paid pursuant to Section 5.03(b) prior to payments of principal on the Senior Credit, but the Secured Party shall be entitled to assume that the action requested by the Majority Priority Class Creditors
will not be prejudicial to any non-assenting Priority Class Creditors unless the Priority Class Creditors with respect to more than 50% of the collective aggregate Outstanding Amount of the non-assenting Priority Class Creditors, in writing, show the Secured Party how they will be prejudiced. The provisions of this Section shall be expressly subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01(c),
7.05 and 7.07 hereof. 
 Section 6.12. Right to Enforce in Secured Party. No Creditor shall have any right as such
Creditor to institute any suit, action or proceedings for the enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement or the Guarantee Agreement or for the execution of any trust hereunder or for the appointment of a receiver or for any other remedy
hereunder, all rights of action hereunder being vested exclusively in the Secured Party, unless and until such Creditor shall have previously given to the Secured Party written notice of a default hereunder, and of the continuance thereof, and also
unless the Majority Priority Class Creditors shall have made written request upon the Secured Party pursuant to Section 6.11 hereof and the Secured Party shall have been afforded reasonable opportunity to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in its own name, and unless the Secured Party shall have been offered indemnity and security satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, which offer of indemnity shall be an express
condition precedent hereunder to any obligation of the Secured Party to take any such action hereunder, and the Secured Party for 30 days after receipt of such notification, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such
action, suit or proceeding. It is understood and intended that one or more Creditors shall not have the right in any manner whatever by its or their action to affect, disturb or prejudice the lien of this Agreement or to enforce any right hereunder
or in the Guarantee Agreement except in the manner herein provided and for the benefit of all Creditors in accordance with their respective priorities. 

Section 6.13. Physical Possession of Notes and Loan Notes Not Required. In any suit or action by the Secured Party arising under
this Agreement or on all or any of the Notes issued hereunder or with respect to the Loan, or any supplement hereto, the Secured Party shall not be required to produce such Notes or the Loan Notes related to the Loan, but shall be entitled in all
things to maintain such suit or action without their production. 
 Section 6.14. Waivers of Events of Default. The
Secured Party may waive any Event of Default hereunder and its consequences and rescind any declaration of acceleration only upon the written request of the Majority Priority Class Creditors; provided,
however, that there shall not be waived (a) any Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or premium on any Outstanding Credit at the Maturity thereof, or any default in the payment when due of the interest on any
such Credit (with respect to the Senior Credit), unless prior to such waiver or rescission, all arrears of interest or all arrears of payments of principal and all expenses of the Secured Party, in connection with such default shall have been paid
or provided for; or (b) any default in the payment of amounts set forth in Sections 7.05 and 7.07 hereof. In case of any such waiver or rescission, or in case any proceedings taken by the Secured Party on account of any 

  
 52 

 
such default shall have been discontinued or abandoned or determined adversely to the Secured Party, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Secured Party and the Creditors shall be restored
to their former positions and rights hereunder respectively, but no such waiver or rescission shall extend to or affect any subsequent or other default, or impair any rights or remedies consequent thereon. 

Section 6.15. Guarantee Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Basic
Document, the Secured Party agrees not to waive any default under the Guarantee Agreement without first obtaining the written consent of each of the Senior Creditors and the other payees of Guaranteed Payments to the extent affected thereby. Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default resulting from a default by the Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement, the Majority Priority Class Creditors may direct the Secured Party as to the action to take or the remedies to be pursued against the
Guarantor, provided that in no event may the Guarantor have any right to direct such action, as Voting Party or Majority Priority Class Creditor. 

ARTICLE VII 
 THE
SECURED PARTY 
 Section 7.01. Acceptance of Trust. The Secured Party hereby accepts the trusts imposed upon it by this
Agreement, and agrees to perform said trusts, but only upon and subject to the following terms and conditions: 
 (a)
Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 
 (i) the Secured Party undertakes to perform such duties and only
such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Secured Party; and 

(ii) in the absence of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, the Secured Party may conclusively rely, as to
the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Secured Party and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; but in the case of any such certificates or
opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Secured Party, the Secured Party shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform as to form with the requirements of this
Agreement. 
 (b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Secured Party, in exercising the rights and
powers vested in it by this Agreement, shall use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. 

(c) Before taking any action hereunder requested by the Creditors, the Secured Party may require that it be furnished an
indemnity bond or other indemnity and security satisfactory to it by the Creditors making such request for the reimbursement of all expenses to which it may be put and to protect it against all liability. 

  
 53 

 (d) The Secured Party shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Creditor, unless it shall be proved that the Secured Party was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. 

Section 7.02. Recitals of Others. The recitals, statements and representations set forth herein shall be taken as the statements
of the Issuer, and the Secured Party assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Secured Party makes no representations as to the title of the Issuer or the Lender Trustee in the Trust Estate or as to the security afforded thereby
and hereby, or as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Credit issued hereunder, and the Secured Party shall incur no responsibility in respect of such matters. 

Section 7.03. As to Filing of Agreement. The Secured Party shall be under no duty (a) to file or record, or cause to be filed
or recorded, this Agreement or any instrument supplemental hereto, (b) to procure any further order or additional instruments of further assurance, (c) to see to the delivery to it of any personal property intended to be pledged hereunder
or thereunder, (d) to do any act which may be suitable to be done for the better maintenance of the lien or security hereof, or (e) to give notice of the existence of such lien, or for extending or supplementing the same or to see that any
rights to the Trust Estate intended now or hereafter to be transferred in trust hereunder are subject to the lien hereof. The Secured Party shall not be liable for failure of the Issuer to pay any tax or taxes in respect of such property, or any
part thereof, or the income therefrom or otherwise, nor shall the Secured Party be under any duty in respect of any tax which may be assessed against it or the Creditors in respect of such property or pledged to the Trust Estate. Pursuant to
Section 4.03(a) hereof, the Issuer agrees to prepare and file in a timely manner, and request that the Secured Party execute (if such execution is necessary for any such filing) with any necessary execution by the Issuer, the
continuation statements referred to herein; provided, that the Secured Party shall have no responsibility for the sufficiency, adequacy or priority of any filing and, in the absence of written notice to the contrary by the
Issuer or other Authorized Representative, may rely and shall be protected in relying on all information and exhibits in such initial filings for the purposes of any continuation statements. 

Section 7.04. Secured Party May Act Through Agents. The Secured Party may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform
any duty hereunder, either itself or by or through its attorneys, agents, accountants or other experts, and it shall not be answerable or accountable for any default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorneys, agents or employees, if reasonable
care has been exercised in the appointment. All reasonable costs incurred by the Secured Party and all reasonable compensation to all such persons as may reasonably be employed in connection with the trusts hereof shall be paid by the Issuer.

 Section 7.05. Indemnification of Secured Party. The Secured Party shall have no liability under this Agreement or other
related agreements to which it is a party except for its own negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall the Secured Party be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but
not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Secured Party has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. In no event shall the Secured Party be responsible or liable for any failure or
delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control,  

  
 54 

 
including, without limitation, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of
utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Secured Party shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as
practicable under the circumstances. The Secured Party shall be under no obligation or duty to perform any act at the request of the Creditors or to institute or defend any suit in respect thereof unless properly indemnified and provided with
security to its satisfaction as provided in Section 7.01(c) hereof. The Secured Party shall not be required to take notice, or be deemed to have knowledge, of any default or Event of Default of the Issuer hereunder and may conclusively assume
that there has been no such default or Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a), (b), or (f)(ii) hereof) unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Secured Party shall have been
specifically notified in writing at the address in Section 9.01 hereof of such default or Event of Default by (a) any Creditor or (b) an Authorized Representative of the Issuer. However, the Secured Party may begin suit, or appear in
and defend suit, execute any of the trusts hereby created, enforce any of its rights or powers hereunder, or do anything else in its judgment proper to be done by it as trustee, without assurance of reimbursement or indemnity, and in such case the
Secured Party shall be reimbursed or indemnified by the Creditors requesting such action, if any, or the Issuer in all other cases, for all fees, costs and expenses, liabilities, outlays and counsel fees and other reasonable disbursements properly
incurred in connection therewith, unless such costs and expenses, liabilities, outlays and attorneys’ fees and other reasonable disbursements properly incurred in connection therewith are adjudicated to have resulted from the negligence or
willful misconduct of the Secured Party. In furtherance and not in limitation of this Section, the Secured Party shall not be liable for, and shall be held harmless by the Issuer from, following any Issuer Orders, instructions or other directions
upon which the Secured Party is authorized to rely pursuant to this Agreement or any other Basic Document to which it is a party. If the Issuer or the Creditors, as appropriate, shall fail to make such reimbursement or indemnification, the Secured
Party may reimburse itself from any money in its possession under the provisions of this Agreement, subject only to the prior lien of the Credit for the payment of the principal thereof, premium, if any, and interest thereon from the Collection
Account as provided in Section 5.03(b) hereof. None of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any other agreement to which it is a party shall require the Secured Party to act or to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
individual financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers on behalf of the Creditors if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that prompt repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 The Issuer agrees to indemnify the Secured Party and its
officers, directors, agents and employees for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability, damage, claim or expenses incurred without bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder arising
from the Trust Estate. The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Secured Party against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions or other proceedings and all liabilities, costs and expenses whatsoever caused by any untrue statement or
misleading statement or alleged untrue statement or alleged misleading statement of a material fact contained in any offering document distributed in 

  
 55 

 
connection with the issuance of the Credit (other than information in any such offering document provided by the Secured Party) or caused by any omission or alleged omission from such offering
document of any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

Section 7.06. Secured Party’s Right to Reliance. The Secured Party shall be protected in acting upon any notice, resolution,
request, consent, order, certificate, report, appraisal, opinion, report or document of the Issuer, the Administrator or a Servicer or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties. The Secured Party may consult with experts and with counsel (who may but need not be counsel for the Issuer, the Secured Party or any Creditor), and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken or suffered, and in respect of any determination made by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel. 

Whenever in the administration hereof the Secured Party shall reasonably deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Secured Party (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, rely upon a certificate signed by an
Authorized Representative or an authorized officer of the Administrator. 
 The Secured Party shall not be liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it hereby; provided, however, that the Secured Party shall be liable for its negligence or
willful misconduct in taking such action. 
 The Secured Party is authorized to enter into agreements with other Persons, in its
capacity as Indenture Trustee and Collateral Agent, in order to carry out or implement the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Secured Party shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith
in accordance with this Agreement or any other Basic Document or at the direction of the Voting Party or the Majority Priority Class Creditors relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Secured Party, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Secured Party, under this Agreement or any other Basic Document. 

Section 7.07. Compensation of Secured Party. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Secured Party Fee and all
advances, counsel fees (including without limitation allocated fees of in-house counsel) and other expenses reasonably made or incurred by the Secured Party in and about the execution and administration of the
trust hereby created shall be paid by the Issuer. The compensation of the Secured Party shall not be limited to or by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of trustees of an express trust. If not paid by the Issuer, the Secured Party
shall have a lien against all money held pursuant to this Agreement, in the priority provided by Section 5.03(b) hereof, against the money and investments in the Collection Account for the payment of the principal thereof, premium, if
any, and interest thereon, if any, for such reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and counsel fees incurred in and about the execution of the trusts hereby created and the exercise and performance of the 

  
 56 

 
powers and duties of the Secured Party hereunder and the cost and expense incurred in defending against any liability in the premises of any character whatsoever (unless such liability is
adjudicated to have resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party). 
 Section 7.08. Resignation of
Secured Party. The Secured Party and any successor to the Secured Party may resign and be discharged from the trust created by this Agreement by giving to the Issuer notice in writing which notice shall specify the date on which such resignation
is to take effect; provided, however, that such resignation shall only take effect on the day specified in such notice if a successor Secured Party shall have been appointed pursuant to
Section 7.10 hereof (and is qualified to be the Secured Party under the requirements of Section 7.10 hereof). If no successor Secured Party has been appointed by the date specified or within a period of 90 days from the
receipt of the notice by the Issuer, whichever period is the longer, the Secured Party may (a) appoint a temporary successor Secured Party having the qualifications provided in Section 7.10 hereof or (b) request a court of
competent jurisdiction to (i) require the Issuer to appoint a successor, as provided in Section 7.10 hereof, within three days of the receipt of citation or notice by the court, or (ii) appoint an Secured Party having the
qualifications provided in Section 7.10 hereof. In no event may the resignation of the Secured Party be effective until a qualified successor Secured Party shall have been selected and appointed. In the event a temporary successor
Secured Party is appointed pursuant to clause (a) above, the Issuer may remove such temporary successor Secured Party and appoint a successor thereto pursuant to Section 7.10 hereof. 

Section 7.09. Removal of Secured Party. The Secured Party or any successor Secured Party may be removed (a) by the Issuer or
the Majority Priority Class Creditors for cause or upon the sale or other disposition of the Secured Party or its corporate trust functions or (b) by the Majority Priority Class Creditors without cause so long as no Event of Default exists or
has existed within the last 90 days, upon payment to the Secured Party so removed of all money then due to it hereunder and appointment of a successor thereto by the Issuer and acceptance thereof by said successor. One copy of any such order of
removal shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and the other with the Secured Party so removed. 
 In the event the Secured Party (or
successor Secured Party) is removed, by any person or for any reason permitted hereunder, such removal shall not become effective until (a) the Majority Priority Class Creditors by instrument or concurrent instruments in writing (signed and
acknowledged by such Majority Priority Class Creditors or their attorneys-in-fact) filed with the Secured Party removed have appointed a successor Secured Party and
(b) the successor Secured Party has accepted appointment as such. 
 Section 7.10. Successor Secured Party. In case at any
time the Secured Party shall resign or be dissolved, or otherwise shall be disqualified to act or be incapable of acting, or in case control of the Secured Party or of any successor Secured Party or of its officers shall be taken over by any public
officer or officers, a successor Secured Party may be appointed by the Majority Priority Class Creditors by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing (signed and acknowledged by such Majority Priority Class Creditors or their
attorneys-in-fact). In the case of any such appointment by the Majority Priority Class Creditors of a successor to the Secured Party, the successor Secured Party shall forthwith cause notice thereof to be mailed to the Creditors at the address of
each Creditor appearing on the registration books maintained by the Secured Party, as registrar. 

  
 57 

 Every successor Secured Party appointed by the Majority Priority Class Creditors or by a court of
competent jurisdiction shall be a state, national or federally chartered bank or trust company in good standing, organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state, which has a reported capital and surplus of not less than
$50,000,000, be authorized under the law to exercise corporate trust powers and be subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state authority. 

Section 7.11. Manner of Vesting Title in Secured Party. Any successor Secured Party appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to its predecessor Secured Party, and also to the Issuer, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Secured Party, without any further act, deed or conveyance shall become fully vested with all the
estate, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessors in trust and agency hereunder (except that the predecessor Secured Party shall continue to have the benefits to indemnification hereunder together with the
successor Secured Party), with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but the Secured Party ceasing to act shall nevertheless, on the written request of an Authorized Representative, or an authorized officer of the successor Secured
Party, execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments of conveyance and further assurance and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in such successor Secured Party all the right,
title and interest of the Secured Party which it succeeds, in and to the Trust Estate and such rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, and the Secured Party ceasing to act also, upon like request, pay over, assign and deliver to the
successor Secured Party any money or other property or rights subject to the lien of this Agreement, including any pledged securities which may then be in its possession. Should any deed or instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by the
successor Secured Party for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such new Secured Party such estate, properties, rights, powers and duties, any and all such deeds and instruments in writing shall on request be executed, acknowledged
and delivered by the Issuer. 
 In case any of the Notes or the Loan Notes issued hereunder shall have been authenticated but not
delivered, any successor Secured Party may adopt the certificate of authentication of the Secured Party or of any successor to the Secured Party; and in case any of the Notes or the Loan Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the
Secured Party may authenticate such Notes or the Loan Notes in its own name; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force which it has anywhere in the Notes, the Loan Notes or in this Agreement. 

Section 7.12. Right of Inspection. Each Creditor shall be permitted at reasonable times during regular business hours and in
accordance with reasonable regulations prescribed by the Secured Party to examine at the Principal Office of the Secured Party a copy of any report or instrument theretofore filed with the Secured Party relating to the condition of the Trust Estate;
provided, however, that the Secured Party shall not provide, or cause to be provided, to any Creditor information which is specific to the Guarantor or the Financed Loans that is not otherwise provided in
the Monthly Report. 

  
 58 

 Section 7.13. Limitation with Respect to Examination of Reports. Except as provided
in this Agreement, the Secured Party shall be under no duty to examine any report or statement or other document required or permitted to be filed with it by the Issuer. 

Section 7.14. Additional Covenants of Secured Party. The Secured Party, by the execution hereof, covenants, represents and agrees
that it will not exercise any of the rights, duties or privileges under this Agreement in such manner as would cause the Financed Loans held or acquired under the Loan Purchase Agreement to be transferred, assigned or pledged as security to any
person or entity other than as permitted by this Agreement. 
 Section 7.15. Merger of the Secured Party. Any corporation
into which the Secured Party may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Secured Party shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of
the corporate trust business of the Secured Party, shall be the successor of the Secured Party hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Agreement, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any other parties hereto. 
 Section 7.16. Receipt of Funds from the Servicer. The Secured
Party shall not be accountable or responsible in any manner whatsoever for any action of the Issuer, the Administrator, the depository bank of any funds of the Issuer, or the Servicer while the Servicer is acting as bailee or agent of the Secured
Party with respect to the Financed Loans for actions taken in compliance with any reasonable instruction or direction given to the Secured Party, or for the application of funds or moneys by the Servicer until such time as funds are received by the
Secured Party. 
 Section 7.17. Survival of Secured Party’s Rights to Receive Compensation, Reimbursement and
Indemnification. The Secured Party’s rights to receive compensation, reimbursement and indemnification of money due and owing hereunder at the time of the Secured Party’s resignation or removal shall survive the Secured Party’s
resignation or removal and the termination of the Basic Documents. 
 Section 7.18. Secured Party May File Proofs of
Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer, the Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Credit
or the property of the Issuer or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Secured Party (irrespective of whether the principal of the Credit shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Secured Party shall have made any demand on the Issuer for the payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Credit, of principal
(and premium, if any) and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Credit and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Party (including any claim for the
reasonable fees, compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Party and its agents and counsel) and of the Creditors allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 

  
 59 

 (b) to collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on
any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Creditor to make such payments to the
Secured Party, and if the Secured Party shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Creditors, to pay to the Secured Party any amount due to it for the reasonable fees, compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Secured Party and any predecessor Secured Party, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Secured Party or any predecessor Secured Party. 

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Secured Party to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Creditor, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Credit or the rights of any Creditor, or to authorize the Secured Party to vote in respect of the claim of any Creditor in any such proceeding. 

In any proceedings brought by the Secured Party (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement to
which the Secured Party shall be a party), the Secured Party shall be held to represent all the Creditors, and it shall not be necessary to make any Creditors parties to any such proceedings. 

Section 7.19. No Petition. The Secured Party will not at any time institute against the Issuer any bankruptcy proceeding under any
United States federal or State bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement. 

ARTICLE VIII 

AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS 

Section 8.01. Amendments and Supplements Not Requiring Consent of the Creditors. The Issuer and the Secured Party may, without the
consent of the Creditors or the Guarantor, enter into any Amendment or Supplement to this Agreement for any one or more of the following purposes: 

(a) to cure any ambiguity or formal defect or omission in this Agreement; 

(b) to grant to or confer upon the Secured Party for the benefit of the Creditors any additional benefits, rights, remedies,
powers or authorities not inconsistent with any other provisions hereof that may lawfully be granted to or conferred upon the Creditors or the Secured Party; 

(c) to describe or identify more precisely any part of the Trust Estate or to subject additional revenues, properties or
collateral to the lien and pledge of this Agreement; 

  
 60 

 (d) to evidence the appointment of a separate or
co-Secured Party or a co-registrar or transfer agent or the succession of a new Secured Party hereunder; 

(e) to make any changes necessary to comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under any current or future law, rule or
regulation, including but not limited to the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder; and 
 (f) to create any
additional Accounts or Subaccounts under this Agreement deemed by the Secured Party to be necessary or desirable; 
 provided, however, that
nothing in this Section shall permit, or be construed as permitting, any modification of the trusts, powers, rights, duties, remedies, immunities and privileges of the Secured Party without the prior written approval of the Secured Party, which
approval shall be evidenced by execution of an Amendment or Supplement; and provided, further, (i) an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the Secured Party to the effect that such amendment will not have a material adverse effect
on the Creditors and the Guarantor and (ii) that a copy of each Amendment or Supplement to this Agreement entered into pursuant to this Section shall be delivered by the Secured Party to each Creditor and the Guarantor not more than five
Business Days following entry into the same. 
 Section 8.02. Amendments and Supplements Requiring Consent of the Guarantor
and Creditors. Exclusive of Amendments and Supplements covered by Section 8.01 hereof and subject to the terms and provisions contained in this Section, and not otherwise, the Guarantor and the Majority Priority Class Creditors shall
have the right, from time to time, to consent to and approve the execution by the Issuer and the Secured Party of such other amendment or supplement hereto for the purpose of modifying, altering, amending, adding to or rescinding, in any particular,
any of the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall permit, or be construed as permitting without the consent of the Guarantor and the Creditors
of all then Outstanding Credit which would be affected thereby, (i) an extension of the Maturity of the principal of or the due date for interest on any Credit, or (ii) a reduction in the principal amount of any Credit or the rate of
interest thereon (with respect to the Senior Credit), or (iii) a privilege or priority of any Senior Credit over any other Senior Credit, or (iv) a reduction in the aggregate principal amount of the Credit required for consent to such
Amendment or Supplement, or (v) the creation of any lien other than a lien ratably securing all of the Senior Credit at any time Outstanding hereunder except as otherwise provided herein and a subordinate lien securing the Subordinate Note
Outstanding hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, Credit is deemed “affected” by an amendment if such amendment, directly or indirectly, adversely affects or diminishes the rights of the Registered Owners or Lender thereof to be
assured of the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest (with respect to the Senior Credit) on such Credit. In furtherance of the foregoing, in no event may any provision of this Agreement that requires the consent of, or provides for
direction from all Creditors, be amended or supplemented without obtaining the consent of all such Creditors. 
 If at any time the
Issuer shall request the Secured Party to enter into any such Amendment or Supplement for any of the purposes of this Section, the Secured Party shall, upon being satisfactorily indemnified with respect to expenses, cause notice of the proposed
execution of such Amendment or Supplement to be delivered to each Creditor at the address shown on the 

  
 61 

 
registration books pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof and the Guarantor. Such notice (which shall be prepared by the Issuer) shall briefly set forth the nature of the proposed Amendment or
Supplement and shall include a copy of the same. If, within 60 days, or such longer period as shall be prescribed by the Issuer, following the delivery of such notice, the Guarantor and such percentage of Creditors as may be required shall have
consented in writing to and approved the execution thereof as herein provided, no Creditor shall have any right to object to any of the terms and provisions contained therein, or the operation thereof, or in any manner to question the propriety of
the execution thereof, or to enjoin or restrain the Secured Party or the Issuer from executing the same or from taking any action pursuant to the provisions thereof. Upon the execution of any such Amendment or Supplement as in this
Article VIII permitted and provided, this Agreement shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the Secured Party shall deliver to each Creditor and the Guarantor not more than five Business Days
following entry into the same a copy of such fully executed Amendment or Supplement at the address shown on the note registration books pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof. 

Section 8.03. Rights of Secured Party. If, in the opinion of the Secured Party, any Amendment or Supplement provided for in this
Article adversely affects the rights, duties or immunities of the Secured Party under this Agreement or otherwise, the Secured Party may, in its discretion, decline to execute such Amendment or Supplement. The Secured Party shall be entitled to
receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an opinion of counsel as conclusive evidence that any such Amendment or Supplement proposed to be executed by it hereunder conforms to the requirements of, and is authorized and permitted under,
this Agreement. 
 Section 8.04. Rights of Administrator. No Amendment or Supplement shall amend (a) the rights or
responsibilities of the Administrator hereunder or (b) any provision addressing the payment of the Administration Fees or the payment of other fees or expenses of the Administrator or the payment of the Servicing Fees or the payment of other
fees or expenses of the Servicer, unless the Secured Party shall have received the written consent of the Administrator to such Amendment or Supplement.

 Section 9.02. Covenants Bind Issuer. The
covenants, agreements, conditions, promises, and undertakings in this Agreement shall extend to and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Issuer, and all of the covenants hereof shall bind such successors and assigns, and each of them,
jointly and severally. All the covenants, conditions and provisions hereof shall be held to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, the Persons identified in Section 9.12 hereof and of the
Creditors. 
 No extension of time of payment of any of the Credit shall operate to release or discharge the Issuer, it being agreed
that the liability of the Issuer, to the extent permitted by law, shall continue until all of the Credit is paid in full, notwithstanding any transfer of Financed Loans or extension of time for payment. 

Section 9.03. Lien Created. This Agreement shall operate effectually as (a) a grant of lien on and security interest in, and
(b) an assignment of, the Trust Estate. 
 Section 9.04. Severability of Lien. If the lien of this Agreement shall
be or shall ever become ineffectual, invalid or unenforceable against any part of the Trust Estate, which is not subject to the lien, because of want of power or title in the Issuer, the inclusion of any such part shall not in any way affect or
invalidate the pledge and lien hereof against such part of the Trust Estate as to which the Issuer in fact had the right to pledge. 

  
 64 

 Section 9.05. Consent of Creditors Binds Successors. Any request or consent of the
Creditors given for any of the purposes of this Agreement shall bind all future assignees of the Credit of such Creditor or any Credit issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof in respect of anything done or suffered by the Issuer or
the Secured Party in pursuance of such request or consent. 
 Section 9.06. Nonliability of Persons; No General
Obligation. It is hereby expressly made a condition of this Agreement that any agreements, covenants or representations herein contained or contained in the Notes or the Loan Notes do not and shall never constitute or give rise to a personal or
pecuniary liability or charge against the organizers, officers, employees, agents or trustees or the Administrator of the Issuer, or against the general credit of the Issuer, and in the event of a breach of any such agreement, covenant or
representation, no personal or pecuniary liability or charge payable directly or indirectly from the general revenues of the Issuer shall arise therefrom. Nothing contained in this Section, however, shall relieve the Issuer from the observance and
performance of the several covenants and agreements on its part herein contained. 
 Section 9.07. Laws Governing. It is
the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall in all respects be governed by the laws of the State of New York. 

Section 9.08. Severability. If any covenant, agreement, waiver, or part thereof in this Agreement shall be forbidden by any
pertinent law or under any pertinent law be effective to render this Agreement invalid or unenforceable or to impair the lien hereof, then each such covenant, agreement, waiver, or part thereof shall itself be and is hereby declared to be wholly
ineffective, and this Agreement shall be construed as if the same were not included herein. 
 Section 9.09. Waiver of Jury
Trial. The parties hereto irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 Section 9.10. Exhibits. The terms of the Schedules and Exhibits, if any, attached to this Agreement are incorporated
herein in all particulars. 
 Section 9.11. Non-Business Days. Except as may
otherwise be provided in this Agreement, if the date for making payment of any amount hereunder or on any Note, or if the date for taking any action hereunder, is not a Business Day, then such payment can be made or action can be taken on the next
succeeding Business Day and interest, if any, shall accrue to such next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if such payment were made when due or action taken on such required date. 

Section 9.12. Parties Interested Herein. Nothing in this Agreement expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to
confer upon, or to give to, any person or entity, other than the Secured Party, the Owner Trustee, the Lender Trustee, the Administrator, the Guarantor, the Persons entitled to payments from the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 5.03(b)(i) and (ii) hereof and the Creditors, any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any covenant, condition or stipulation hereof, and all covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements

security interest in the Eligible Loans to the Secured Party, in accordance with this Agreement, which Eligible Loans, upon becoming subject to the lien of this Agreement, constitute Financed Loans, as defined herein. If for any reason a Financed
Loan does not constitute an Eligible Loan, or ceases to constitute an Eligible Loan, such loan shall continue to be subject to the lien of this Agreement as a Financed Loan. 

Section 9.15. Concerning the Owner Trustee. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties to this Agreement and the
Creditors that (a) this Agreement is executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee not in its individual or personal capacity but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement on behalf of the Issuer, in the exercise of the
powers and authority conferred and vested in it as Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement, subject to the protections, indemnities and limitations from liability afforded to the Owner Trustee thereunder; (b) the representations, warranties,
covenants, undertakings, agreements and obligations by the Owner Trustee are made and intended not as personal representations, warranties, covenants, undertakings, agreements and obligations by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, but are made and
intended for the purpose of only binding the Trust Estate, as defined in the Trust Agreement, and the Issuer; (c) nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating any liability on Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, individually or
personally, to perform any expressed or implied covenant, duty or obligation of any kind whatsoever contained herein; and (d) under no circumstances shall Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, be personally liable for the payment of any fees,
costs, indebtedness or expenses of any kind whatsoever or be personally liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, agreement, warranty or covenant whatsoever made or undertaken by the Owner Trustee or the Issuer
hereunder. 
 Section 9.16. Concerning the Administrator. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties to this
Agreement and the Creditors that (a) in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it as Administrator under the Administration Agreement, and subject to the protections and limitations from liability afforded to the
Administrator thereunder, Access Group is acting solely in its capacity as Administrator on behalf of the Issuer and not in its individual or personal capacity; (b) the representations, warranties, certifications, covenants, undertakings,
agreements and obligations by Access Group herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto are made and intended not as personal representations, warranties, covenants, undertakings, agreements and obligations by Access Group, but are made
and intended for the purpose of only binding the Trust Estate and the Issuer; and (c) except as provided in the Administration Agreement, nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating any liability on Access Group, individually or
personally, to perform any expressed or implied covenant, duty or obligation of any kind whatsoever contained herein. 

  
 66 

 Section 9.17. Indemnification Obligations of Creditors. In the event that any
indemnity is due and owing from the Creditors to the Secured Party as a result of an instruction or direction given by all or less than all of the Creditors, the Creditors shall, in either such case, provide such indemnification ratably on the basis
of the Outstanding Amount of the Credit held by each such Creditor at the time such indemnity is due and owing. Nothing in this Section shall constitute a waiver of the Secured Party’s right not to expend or risk its own funds pursuant to
Section 7.05 hereof. 
 Section 9.18. Security Agreement. This Agreement constitutes a Security Agreement
under the Uniform Commercial Code. 
 ARTICLE X 

PAYMENT AND CANCELLATION OF CREDIT 

AND SATISFACTION OF AGREEMENT

indebtedness secured hereby (the Subordinated Note and the Senior Credit and interest thereon) are fully paid or provision made for their payment as provided in this Article. 

Section 10.02. Satisfaction of Agreement. If on any date the Issuer shall pay, or cause to be paid, or there shall otherwise be
paid to (a) the Creditors of the Senior Credit, the principal of and interest on the Senior Credit, and (b) after the Outstanding Amount of the Senior Credit has been reduced to zero, to the Registered Owner of the Subordinated Note, the
principal of the Subordinated Note, at the times and in the manner stipulated in this Agreement, then the pledge of the Trust Estate, and all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Issuer to the Creditors shall thereupon cease, terminate
and become void and be discharged and satisfied. In such event, the Secured Party shall execute and deliver to the Issuer all such instruments as the Issuer may request to evidence such discharge and satisfaction, and the Secured Party shall pay

to such action. 
 Section 10.06. Tax Treatment. 

Each Registered Owner of Notes understands that it is the Issuer’s intention that the Notes be treated as debt for federal income tax
purposes, and by its acceptance of its Notes agrees to so treat all Notes as debt of the Issuer or the Certificateholder for all federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and to take no action inconsistent therewith. The Lender
understands that the Issuer is treating the Loan as debt for federal, state, and local income and franchise tax purposes, and by its execution of the Loan Agreement (or an assignment and assumption agreement executed in connection therewith), agrees
to treat the Loan as a debt instrument and to take no action inconsistent therewith.

 PEAKS TRUST 2009-1, a statutory trust organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein referred to as the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to [            ], or
registered assigns (the “Registered Owner”), but solely from the revenues and receipts hereinafter specified and not otherwise, a principal sum of
[            ] MILLION DOLLARS AND NO/100 ($[            ]) (the “Principal Amount”) on the
Payment Date in January 2020 (the “Stated Maturity Date”), subject to the right of prior payment as described herein, and to pay interest on said Principal Amount, but solely from the revenues and receipts hereinafter
specified and not otherwise, to the Registered Owner hereof at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date, from the date hereof until the payment of said Principal Amount has been made or duly provided for, payable on each Payment Date
and at the Maturity Date, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus 5.50%. Interest payable on this Senior Note shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the number of days actually elapsed and accrue daily from the date
hereof. 

  
 B-1-1 

 The principal of and interest on this Senior Note are payable in such coin or currency of the
United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Senior Note shall be applied first to interest due and payable on this Senior Note as
provided above and then to the unpaid Principal Amount of this Senior Note. 
 This Senior Note is a senior note
(collectively, the “Senior Notes”) issued by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture and Credit Agreement, dated as of January 20, 2010 (the “Agreement”), by and among the Issuer (by Deutsche Bank
Trust Company Delaware, in its capacity as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”)), Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, a banking corporation duly organized and operating under the laws of the State of New York, as
indenture trustee (in such capacity, the “Indenture Trustee”) and as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”, and in its capacities as Indenture Trustee and as Collateral Agent, the
“Secured Party”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as lender trustee (the “Lender Trustee”) (capitalized terms used but not defined herein being defined in the Agreement, which also contains
rules as to usage that shall be applicable herein). This Senior Note is subject to all terms and provisions of the Agreement. A subordinated note (the “Subordinated Note,” and together with the Senior Notes, the
“Notes”) was also issued by the Issuer pursuant to the Agreement. The Agreement also sets forth the terms of a loan (the “Loan” and together with the Notes, the “Credit”) under
which the Issuer is the borrower. 
 Reference is hereby made to the Agreement, a copy of which is on file in the Principal
Office of the Secured Party, and to all of the provisions of which any Registered Owner of this Senior Note by the acceptance hereof hereby assents, for definitions of terms; the description of and the nature and extent of the security for the
Credit secured thereunder; the Eligible Loans being financed by the issuance of the Credit; the revenues and other moneys pledged to the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Credit; the nature and extent and
manner of enforcement of the pledge; the conditions upon which the Principal Amount of this Senior Note may be decreased; the conditions upon which the Agreement may be amended or supplemented with or without the consent of the Creditors; the rights
and remedies of the Registered Owner hereof with respect hereto and thereto, including the limitations upon the right of a Registered Owner hereof to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law with respect hereto and thereto; the
rights, duties and obligations of the Issuer and the Secured Party thereunder; the terms and provisions upon which the liens, pledges, charges, trusts and covenants made therein may be discharged at or prior to the maturity of this Senior Note, and
this Senior Note shall thereafter no longer be secured by the Agreement, or be deemed to be Outstanding thereunder; and for the other terms and provisions thereof. 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Senior Note to the contrary, in no event shall the cumulative amount of interest paid or payable on this
Senior Note (including interest calculated as provided herein, plus any other amounts that constitute interest on this Senior Note under applicable law, which are contracted for, charged, reserved, taken or received pursuant to this Senior Note or
related documents) calculated from the date of issuance of this Senior Note through any subsequent day during the term of this Senior Note or otherwise prior to payment in full of this Senior Note exceed the amount permitted by applicable law. If
applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under this Senior Note or related documents or otherwise contracted for, charged, reserved, taken or received in connection

  
 B-1-2 

 
with this Senior Note, or if the acceleration of the Stated Maturity Date of this Senior Note results in payment to or receipt by the Registered Owner or any former Registered Owner hereof of any
interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then notwithstanding any provision of this Senior Note or related documents to the contrary all excess amounts theretofore paid or received with respect to this Senior Note shall be credited on
the principal balance of this Senior Note (or, if this Senior Note has been paid or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by the recipient thereof), and the provisions of this Senior Note and related documents shall immediately be deemed reformed
and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for
under this Senior Note and under the related documents. 
 The Credit is and will be secured by the Trust Estate pledged as security
therefor as provided in the Agreement. 
 The entire unpaid Principal Amount of this Senior Note shall be due and payable on the Stated
Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid Principal Amount of the Credit shall be due and payable on the date on which (a) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (b) either the Secured Party or
the Majority Priority Class Creditors shall have declared the Credit to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Agreement. 

Payments of interest on this Senior Note on each Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full
payment of this Senior Note, shall be paid to the Person in whose name this Senior Note is registered on the related Record Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by the Registered Owner. If funds are expected
to be available, as provided in the Agreement, for payment in full of the then Outstanding Principal Amount of this Senior Note on a Payment Date, then the Secured Party shall notify the Person in whose name this Senior Note is registered at the
close of business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on this Senior Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to
such final Payment Date. 
 As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Senior
Note may be registered upon the records of the Secured Party upon surrender for transfer of this Senior Note at the Principal Office of the Secured Party, duly endorsed for transfer and accompanied by an assignment and assumption agreement in the
form set forth in the Senior Notes Note Purchase Agreement duly executed by the Registered Owner or its attorney duly authorized in writing and by the transferee, and thereupon the Issuer shall execute and the Secured Party shall authenticate and
deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new fully registered Senior Note of the same Principal Amount and interest rate and the same Stated Maturity Date. 

The person in whose name this Senior Note shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, and
payment of either principal or interest shall be made only to or upon the written order of the Registered Owner hereof or its legal representative, but such registration may be changed as provided in the Agreement. All such payments shall be valid
and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon this Senior Note to the extent of the sum or sums paid. 

  
 B-1-3 

 THE TRANSFER OF THIS SENIOR NOTE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE
AGREEMENT. Each Registered Owner and each transferee of a Senior Note shall represent and warrant that this Senior Note may not be acquired by an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code or by any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other plan which is subject to substantially similar law (“Similar Law”), (collectively, a “Plan”)
or a Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or a Person using the assets of any such Plan, unless the acquisition, holding and disposition of this Senior Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code because it will satisfy the requirements for exemptive relief under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14,
PTCE 90-1, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 95-60, PTCE 96-23 or the statutory exemption for nonfiduciary service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA or Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code or another
applicable administrative or statutory exemption and in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, will not result in a non-exempt violation of such substantially similar law. 

The Secured Party shall require the payment by any Registered Owner requesting exchange or transfer of any tax or other governmental charge
required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer. The applicant for any such transfer or exchange may be required to pay all taxes and governmental charges in connection with such transfer or exchange, other than exchanges pursuant to
the Agreement. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Secured Party whose name appears below by manual
signature, this Senior Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 
 The term
“Issuer” as used in this Senior Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Agreement. 
 The Issuer is
permitted by the Agreement, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Secured Party and the Creditors under the Agreement. 

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Issuer and the rights of the Registered Owner hereof and other Creditors under the Agreement, or the waiver of certain past defaults under the Agreement and their consequences, at any time by the Issuer with specified percentages in aggregate
principal amount or, in certain circumstances, without the consent of Creditors. 
 This Senior Note is issuable only in registered form as
provided in the Agreement, subject to certain limitations therein set forth. 
 This Senior Note shall be held and owned upon the express
condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the conditions set forth in Section 2.04 of the Agreement are exclusive with respect to the replacement and payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes, negotiable instruments or other
securities. 

  
 B-1-4 

 This Senior Note shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws. 

No reference herein to the Agreement and no provision of this Senior Note or of the Agreement shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Senior Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

It is expressly understood and agreed by the holder hereof that (a) each of the Agreement and this Senior Note is executed and delivered
by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, not individually or personally but solely as Owner Trustee, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it; (b) each of the representations, undertakings and agreement in the
Agreement and this Senior Note made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware or the Administrator of the Issuer but is made and intended for
the purpose of binding only the Issuer; (c) nothing contained in the Agreement or this Senior Note shall be construed as creating any liability on Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware or the Administrator (except as provided in the
Administration Agreement), individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressly contained in or implied by the Agreement or this Senior Note, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the holder hereof and by any Person
claiming by, through or under the holder hereof; and (d) under no circumstances shall Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware or the Administrator be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for
the breach or failure of any obligations, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer under the Agreement, this Senior Note or the other Basic Documents.

representative, but such registration may be changed as provided in the Agreement. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon this Subordinated Note to the extent of the sum or sums paid.

delivered by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, not individually or personally but solely as Owner Trustee, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it; (b) each of the representations, undertakings and agreement

	Re:	PEAKS Trust 2009-1 (the “Issuer”) 

 Student Loan Asset-Backed Senior
Notes (the “Notes”) 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

[—] (the “Purchaser”) is today purchasing in a
private sale from [—] (the “Seller”) $[—] aggregate Senior Credit Balance of the above-captioned Notes, issued pursuant
to the Amended and Restated Indenture and Credit Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2010 (the “Agreement”), among the Issuer, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as indenture trustee (in such capacity, the
“Indenture Trustee”) and as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent” and in its capacities as Indenture Trustee and as Collateral Agent, the “Secured Party”)
and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as lender trustee (the “Lender Trustee”). 
 In connection
with the purchase of the Notes, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to each of you as follows: 
 (a)
The Purchaser understands that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction (“blue sky
laws”), and that the Notes may not be sold, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred except as permitted in the following two sentences. The Purchaser agrees, on its behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which the Purchaser is acting
as hereinafter stated, that such Notes may be resold, pledged or transferred only (i) to a person who purchases either all or a percentage interest in the Purchaser’s interest in the Notes, and (ii) either (A) so long as such
Notes are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), to a person whom the Purchaser reasonably believes after due inquiry is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined
in Rule 144A acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are “qualified institutional buyers”) to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being
made in reliance on Rule 144A, (B) to a person it reasonably believes is an institutional “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D of the Securities Act acting for its own
account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are institutional “accredited investors”), or (C) in a sale, pledge or 

  
 D-1-1 

 
other transfer made in a transaction otherwise exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable blue sky laws, in which case the Secured Party shall require that
(I) both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Secured Party on behalf of the Issuer in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Secured Party and (II) a written opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Secured Party be provided to the Secured Party to the effect that such transfer will not violate the Securities Act or applicable blue sky laws. The Purchaser will notify
any purchaser of the Notes from it of the above resale restrictions, if then applicable. 
 (b) The Purchaser is either
(i) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (ii) an institutional “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D of
the Securities Act, and in each case is purchasing for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are “qualified institutional buyers” or institutional “accredited
investors,” as applicable). The Purchaser is familiar with Rule 144A or Rule 501(a) under Regulation D, as applicable, under the Securities Act and is aware that the Seller of the Notes and other parties intend to rely on the statements
made herein and the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A or Rule 501(a) under Regulation D, as applicable. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has received the information specified in paragraph
(d)(4) of Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Purchaser is aware that it (or any account for which it is purchasing) may be required to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Notes for an indefinite period, and it (or such account)
is able to bear such risk for an indefinite period. 
 (c) [Reserved]. 

(d) The Purchaser agrees that if at some time it wishes to dispose of or exchange any of the Notes, it will not transfer or
exchange any of the Notes unless such transfer or exchange is in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement. 

(e) The Purchaser represents that if it is an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other plan which is subject to substantially similar law (“Similar Law”), (collectively, a “Plan”)
or a person acting on behalf of any such plan or a person using the assets of any such plan, the acquisition, holding and disposition of the Senior Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code because it will satisfy the requirements for exemptive relief under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, PTCE 90-1, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 95-60, PTCE 96-23 or the statutory
exemption for nonfiduciary service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA or Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code or another applicable administrative or statutory exemption and in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, will not result
in a non-exempt violation of such substantially similar law. 

  
 D-1-2 

 (f) The Purchaser has consulted with its own legal counsel, independent
accountants and financial advisors to the extent it deems necessary regarding the tax consequences to it of ownership of the Notes, is aware that its taxable income with respect to the Notes in any accounting period may not correspond to the cash
flow (if any) from the Notes for such period, and is not purchasing the Notes in reliance on any representations of the Seller or its counsel with respect to tax matters. 

(g) The Purchaser understands that the Notes will bear a legend substantially as set forth in the Agreement. 

(h) The Purchaser hereby further agrees to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Notes as provided in the Agreement.

 (i) If the Purchaser sells any of the Notes, the Purchaser will obtain from any subsequent purchaser substantially the
same representations contained in this Investment Letter. 
 (j) The undersigned is a sophisticated institutional investor
and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and expertise in assessing financial risk, that it is capable of evaluating the merits, risks and suitability of investing in the Notes. 

(k) The undersigned has conducted its own independent due diligence investigation of the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Notes,
and is relying solely on its own diligence investigation, its own financial analysis, and whatever sources of information it has deemed appropriate, reliable and adequate, with respect to the Notes. 

(l) The undersigned is able to bear the economic risks of and an entire loss of its investment in the Notes. 

(m) The undersigned [has had the opportunity to consult] [has consulted] with such legal, financial and other advisers as it
has deemed appropriate with respect to the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Notes and all related legal, financial, accounting and tax matters. 

(n) The undersigned acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Guarantor and
the Issuer regarding the terms and conditions of the Notes and regarding the business, financial affairs and other aspects of the Guarantor and the Issuer, and further has had the opportunity to obtain all information (to the extent the Guarantor or
the Issuer, as applicable, possesses or can acquire such information without unreasonable effort or expense) that it deems necessary to evaluate the investment and verify the accuracy of information otherwise provided to the undersigned. 

(o) The undersigned acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of Section 20 of the Senior
Notes Note Purchase Agreement as if it was a “Note Purchaser” thereunder. [ONLY FOR PURCHASERS OF SENIOR NOTES OTHER THAN THE INITIAL REGISTERED OWNERS]
