​

Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I​
​
Loan Facility; Borrowing Procedures
Section 1.1.Loan Facility.  (a)  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article VI), the Borrower may request that the Lenders make Loans to Borrower on a revolving basis from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Conduit Lender may in its sole discretion, and each Committed Lender shall, only if each Conduit Lender in its Lender Group elects not to (and has notified the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the related Facility Agent) or there is no Conduit Lender in a Lender Group, make such Lender Group’s share of the Loans to the Borrower in an amount, for each Lender Group, equal to its Lender Group Percentage of the amount requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 1.2; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to make any Loan if, after giving effect thereto: 
(i)the Aggregate Credit Exposure would exceed the lesser of (A) the Facility Limit and (B) the Net Pool Balance less the Required Reserve;
(ii)the aggregate Credit Exposure of the Lenders in any Lender Group would exceed such Lender Group’s Lender Group Limit; or
(iii)the Credit Exposure of such Committed Lender would exceed its Commitment.
The Borrower will pay Interest on Loans made pursuant to this Agreement at the Alternate Base Rate, LMIR or the LIBO RateAdjusted SMIR, selected in accordance with Article IV hereof.  Within the limits of the Commitment, Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow under this Section 1.1.
(b)The Borrower may, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, terminate in whole or reduce in part, the unused portion of the Facility Limit, without premium or penalty; provided that each partial reduction of the Facility Limit shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 (or a larger integral multiple of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof) and shall not reduce the Facility Limit below $10,000,000.  In connection with any partial reduction in the Facility Limit, the Commitment of each Committed Lender shall be ratably reduced.
(c)Increases in Commitment.  Upon notice to each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer, the Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the Commitment with respect to one or more Committed Lenders, at any time following the Restatement Date and prior to the Facility Termination Date, such aggregate increase in each Committed Lender’s Commitments to be an amount (for all such requests or additions) not exceeding $100,000,000; provided, that each request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000.  At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which the applicable Committed Lender(s), the LC Issuer and the 

2

​

Administrative Agent are requested to respond to the Borrower’s request (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Administrative Agent).  Each Committed Lender being asked to increase its Commitment, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Servicer within the applicable time period whether or not such Person has agreed, in its respective sole discretion, to the increase to such Committed Lender’s Commitment.  Any such Person that does not respond within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to consent to an increase in the applicable Committed Lender’s Commitment.  For the avoidance of doubt, only the consent of the Committed Lender then being asked to increase its Commitment, the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer shall be required in order to approve any such request.  If the Commitment of any Committed Lender is increased in accordance with this clause (c), the Administrative Agent, such Committed Lender, the LC Issuer, the Borrower and the Servicer shall determine the effective date with respect to such increase and shall enter into such documents as agreed to by such parties to document such increase; it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent or such Committed Lender may request any of (x) resolutions of the Member of the Borrower approving or consenting to such Commitment increase and authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of any amendment to this Agreement, (y) a corporate and enforceability opinion of counsel of the Borrower and (z) such other documents, agreements and opinions reasonably requested by such Committed Lender or the Administrative Agent.

Until the Borrower gives the required notice to the Administrative Agent of another Interest Rate in accordance with Section 4.3, the initial Interest Rate for any Loan shall be if the applicable Lender is (x) an LMIR Lender, LMIR, or (y) other than an LMIR Lender, the LIBO RateAdjusted SMIR (unless the Default Rate is then applicable).
Section 4.2.Interest Payments.  On each Settlement Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Interest on each Loan for the entire Interest Period of each Loan in accordance with Article II.

(ii)the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Lenders that, at any time, Adjusted SMIR or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Majority Lenders (or Facility Agents) of making or maintaining their Commitments (or its Commitment) included in such Borrowing Request;

During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate. Furthermore, if any Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the Adjusted SMIR, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 4.6, any Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Loan bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate.
