ARTICLE II

PURCHASE OF THE VARIABLE FUNDING NOTES

     Section 2.1 The Variable Funding Notes.

     (a) On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Sellers shall deliver a duly
executed variable funding note (each such note, a “Variable Funding Note” or
“VFN”), in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 or B-2, as applicable, (i)
on the Closing Date, to each Purchaser Agent at their respective addresses set forth on the
signature pages of this Agreement, and (ii) on each date on which an Additional Purchaser purchases
a Variable Funding Note, to the related Additional Agent at the address designated by such
Additional Agent. Each Variable Funding Note shall evidence each Purchaser’s ratable share of the
security interest in the Collateral granted pursuant to Section 9.1. Interest shall
accrue, and each VFN shall be payable, as described herein. The VFN purchased by (1) WBNA shall be
in the name of “Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, as the WBNA Agent” and shall be in the face amount
equal to $106,518,000 and otherwise duly completed, and (2) an Additional Purchaser shall be in the
name
of such Additional Purchaser and shall be in a face amount to be determined; provided, that
the aggregate amount outstanding under all VFNs at any one time shall not exceed the Facility
Amount.

     (b) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and
warranties set forth herein, the Purchasers severally, but not jointly, agree to make one advance
of funds to the Sellers (the “Advance”) on the Closing Date, in an amount equal to their
Pro-Rata Share, under the VFNs, of the aggregate principal amount of up to (but not in excess of)
$106,518,000. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of the Advance, such
proceeds will then be made available to the Sellers by the Administrative Agent by crediting the
account of the applicable Seller, with the aggregate of such proceeds made available to the
Administrative Agent by the Purchasers and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent
(or by crediting such other account(s) as directed by the applicable Seller). Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Section 2.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, no
Purchaser shall be obligated to provide its Purchaser Agent or the Sellers with aggregate funds in
connection with the Advance that would exceed the availability of funds then in effect under this
Agreement on the Closing Date. The obligation of each Purchaser to remit its Pro-Rata Share of the
Advance shall be several from that of each other Purchaser and the failure of any Purchaser to so
make such amount available to the applicable Seller shall not relieve any other Purchaser of its
obligation hereunder.

     (c) The Sellers may, within sixty (60) days but not less than forty-five (45) days prior to
the Termination Date, by written notice to each Purchaser Agent, make a request for each Purchaser
to extend the Termination Date for up to two additional periods, in each case up to 364 days. Each
Purchaser Agent will give prompt notice to the applicable Purchaser of its receipt of such request,
and each Purchaser shall make a determination, in their sole discretion, not less than fifteen (15)
days prior to the Termination Date as to whether or not it will agree to the extension requested.
If each Purchaser so accepts the extension requested or if each Purchaser and the Sellers agree to
an extension of some other length (not to exceed 363 days in any event) then the Termination Date
shall be so extended. The failure of a Purchaser Agent to provide

-49-

 

timely notice of its decision to
the Sellers shall be deemed to constitute a refusal by such Purchaser to extend the Termination
Date. The Sellers confirm that each Purchaser, in their sole and absolute discretion, without
regard to the value or performance of the Collateral or any other factor, may elect not to extend
the Termination Date (as applicable).

     Section 2.2 Release of any Purchaser and the Related Purchaser Agent.

     Upon the prepayment to any Purchaser or its related Purchaser Agent of any amount necessary to
reduce the Advances Outstanding and Aggregate Unpaids owed to such Purchaser to zero, from and
after the date thereof, such Purchaser and its related Purchaser Agent shall no longer be a
Purchaser or Purchaser Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and shall have no further rights
and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that any provision in this Agreement that
by its terms is expressly stated to survive the removal or termination of a Purchaser or a
Purchaser Agent shall so survive.

     Section 2.3 [Reserved].

     Section 2.4 Reduction of the Facility Amount; Mandatory and Optional Repayments.

     (a) The Sellers may, upon one Business Day’s prior written notice (such notice to be received
by the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North
Carolina time) on such day) to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent, reduce the
Advances Outstanding; provided that any reduction of the Advances Outstanding shall be in a minimum
amount of $500,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. In connection with any
such reduction of Advances Outstanding, the Sellers shall deliver to each Purchaser Agent (i) in
accordance with their Pro-Rata Share, for payment to the respective Purchasers, funds sufficient to
repay such Advances Outstanding, together with all accrued Interest and Breakage Costs, and (ii)
instructions to reduce such Advances Outstanding, related accrued Interest and Breakage Costs;
provided, that no such reduction shall be given effect unless sufficient funds have been remitted
to pay all such amounts in the succeeding sentence in full. Upon receipt of such amounts, the
Purchaser Agents shall apply such amounts first to the pro rata reduction of the Advances
Outstanding, second to the payment of related accrued Interest on the amount of the
Advances Outstanding to be repaid by paying such amounts to the respective Purchasers, and
third to the payment of any Breakage Costs. Any notice relating to any prepayment pursuant
to this Section 2.4(a) shall be irrevocable.

     (b) If on any day the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, does not own or
have a valid and perfected first priority security interest in any of the Collateral, upon the
earlier of such Seller’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent or such Seller becoming
aware thereof and such Seller’s failure to cure such breach within thirty (30) days, such Seller
shall be deemed to have received on such day a collection (a “Deemed Collection”) of such
Loan in full and shall on such day pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers, an
amount equal to (x) the Outstanding Loan Balance of the Loan to be applied to the pro rata
reduction of the principal of each VFN plus (y) any Breakage Costs required as a result of the
Deemed Collection and release of the related Loan contemplated by this Section 2.4(b). In
connection with any such Deemed Collection, the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured

-50-

 

Parties, shall automatically and without further action be deemed to release to the applicable
Seller, free and clear of any Lien created by the Administrative Agent, all of the right, title and
interest of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in, to, and under the Loan
with respect to which the Administrative Agent has received such Deemed Collection, but without any
other representation and warranty of any kind, express or implied.

     Section 2.5 Determination of Interest.

     (a) Each Purchaser Agent shall determine such Purchaser’s Interest Rate and the Interest
(including unpaid Interest, if any, due and payable on a prior Payment Date) to be paid by the
Sellers with respect to the Advance outstanding on each Payment Date for the related Accrual Period
and shall advise the Servicer thereof on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after the related
Determination Date.

     (b) Each Additional Agent shall determine such Additional Purchaser’s Interest Rate and
Interest (including unpaid Interest related to such Interest Rate, if any, due and payable to a
prior Payment Date) to be paid by the Sellers with respect to the Advance outstanding on each
Payment Date for the related Accrual Period and shall advise the Servicer thereof on or before the
third (3rd) Business Day prior to such Payment Date.

     Section 2.6 [Reserved].

     Section 2.7 [Reserved].

     Section 2.8 Notations on Variable Funding Notes.

     Each Purchaser Agent is hereby authorized to enter on a schedule attached to the VFN a
notation (which may be computer generated) with respect to the Advance under the VFN made by the
related Purchaser of: (a) the date and principal amount thereof, and (b) each repayment of
principal thereof, and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy
of the information so recorded. The failure of any Purchaser Agent to make any such notation on
the schedule attached to the VFN shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Sellers

     Section 2.11 Collections and Allocations.

     (a) Collections. The Servicer shall promptly identify any collections received as
being on account of Interest Collections, Principal Collections or other Collections and shall
transfer, or cause to be transferred, all Collections received directly by it or on deposit in the
form of available funds in the Lock-Box Accounts to the Collection Account by the close of business
on the second (2nd) Business Day after such Collections are received. In transferring Collections
to the Collection Account, the Servicer shall segregate Principal Collections and

-52-

 

transfer the same
to the corresponding Principal Collections Account. The Servicer shall make such deposits or
payments on the date indicated therein by wire transfer, in immediately available funds. The
Servicer shall further include a statement as to the amount of Principal Collections and Interest
Collections on deposit in the Collection Account on each Reporting Date in the Monthly Report
delivered pursuant to Section 6.10(b).

     (b) Initial Deposits. On the Closing Date, the Servicer will deposit (in immediately
available funds) into the Collection Account all purchased accrued interest (if any), in respect of
Eligible Loans being transferred to and included as part of the Collateral on such date.

     (c) Excluded Amounts. With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and
each Purchaser Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (a copy of which will be
provided by the Servicer to the Backup Servicer), the Servicer may withdraw from the Collection
Account any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Servicer has, prior to such
withdrawal and consent, delivered to the
Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent a report setting forth the calculation of such
Excluded Amounts in a format satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent in
their sole discretion.

     (d) Investment of Funds. Until the occurrence of a Termination Event, to the extent
there are uninvested amounts deposited in the Collection Account, all amounts shall be invested in
Permitted Investments selected by the Servicer that mature no later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the next Payment Date; from and after the occurrence of a Termination Event,
to the extent there are uninvested amounts in the Collection Account (net of losses and investment
expenses), all amounts may be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Administrative
Agent that mature no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date. All
earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) thereon shall be retained or deposited into the
Collection Account and shall be applied pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.10.

     Section 2.12 Payments, Computations, Etc.

     (a) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid or deposited by the
Sellers or the Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no
later than 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the day when due in lawful money of the
United States in immediately available funds to the applicable Purchaser Agent’s Account and if not
received before such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Sellers shall, to
the extent permitted by law, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all amounts not paid or
deposited when due hereunder at 2% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand; provided,
however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by
Applicable Law. Such interest shall be for the account of, and distributed to, each applicable
Purchaser. All computations of interest and all computations of Interest and other fees hereunder
shall be made on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days (other than calculations with respect
to the Base Rate which shall be based on a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for
the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

-53-

 

     (b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business
Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time
shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of Interest or any fee payable
hereunder, as the case may be. For avoidance of doubt, to the extent that Available Funds are
insufficient on any Payment Date to satisfy the full amount of any Increased Costs pursuant to
clause SEVENTH of Section 2.10, such unpaid amounts shall remain due and owing and
shall accrue Interest until repaid in full.

     (c) If the Advance requested by a Seller on the Closing Date and approved by the applicable
Purchaser and the Purchaser Agents is not, for any reason made or effectuated, as the case may be,
on the Closing Date, the Sellers shall jointly and severally indemnify the applicable Purchaser
against any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by the applicable Purchaser including,
without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits, net of anticipated profits in
the reemployment of such funds in the manner determined by each Purchaser), cost or expense
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the
applicable Purchaser to fund or maintain such Advance.

     Section 2.13 [Reserved].

     Section 2.14 Fees.

     (a) The Servicer on behalf of the applicable Seller shall pay in accordance with Section
2.10(a)(iv), as applicable, to the applicable Purchaser Agent from the Collection Account to
the extent funds are available on each Payment Date, monthly in arrears, the applicable Program Fee
agreed to between the Sellers and such Purchaser Agent in the applicable Purchaser Fee Letter and
the relevant Additional Agent Fee Letter, as applicable.

     (b) The Servicer shall be entitled to receive a fee (the “Servicing Fee”), monthly in
arrears in accordance with Section 2.10(a)(ii), as applicable, which fee shall be equal to
the product of (i) the Servicing Fee Rate, (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance as of the
first day of the immediately preceding Collection Period and (iii) the actual number of days in
such Collection Period divided by 360. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the
event that a Successor Servicer is appointed, the Servicing Fee shall equal the market rate
for comparable servicing duties to be fixed upon the date of such appointment of such
Successor Servicer with the consent of the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that in the
event that the Backup Servicer becomes the Successor Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall solicit
three bids, with a copy to the Sellers and the Administrative Agent, from not less than three
entities experienced in the servicing of loans similar to the Loans and that are not Affiliates of
the Backup Servicer, the Servicer or the Sellers, and the Servicing Fee shall be equal to the
average of the fees proposed as determined by the Backup Servicer with the consent of the
Administrative Agent.

     (c) The Backup Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Backup Servicing Fee in accordance
with Section 2.10(a)(iii), as applicable.

     (d) The Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to receive the Collateral Custodian Fee in
accordance with Section 2.10(a)(iii), as applicable.

     (e) The Sellers shall pay to Dechert LLP, as counsel to the Administrative Agent, on the

within thirty (30) Business Days after receiving an invoice for such amounts.

     Section 2.15 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.

     (a) If either (i) the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change
by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation or (ii) the compliance by an Affected Party with any guideline or request from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (a)
subject an Affected Party to any Tax (except for Taxes on the overall net income of such Affected
Party), duty or other charge with respect to its interest in the Collateral, or any right to make
the Advance hereunder, or on any payment made hereunder, (b) impose, modify or deem applicable any
reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve requirement, if any, included in
the determination of Interest), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits
with or for the amount of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party or (c) impose any other
condition affecting the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Purchasers hereunder or
the Purchasers’ rights hereunder, the result of which is to increase the cost to any Affected Party
or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this
Agreement, then within ten days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be
accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Servicer shall pay (and to
the extent the Servicer does not make such payment the Sellers, jointly and severally, shall pay)
directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected
Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered.

     (b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law,
guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any
law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other governmental
authority or agency (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation,
compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that
which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance
(taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by
an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, within ten days
after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth
the basis for such demand), the Servicer shall pay (and to the extent the Servicer does not make
such payment the Sellers, jointly and severally, shall pay) directly to such Affected Party such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction. For the
avoidance of doubt, if the issuance of Interpretation No. 46 by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board or any other change in accounting standards or the issuance of any other pronouncement,
release or interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the assets
and liabilities of the Originators or Sellers with the assets and liabilities of the Administrative
Agent, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or any

-55-

 

Liquidity Bank, such event shall constitute a
circumstance on which such Affected Party may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section
2.15.

     (c) If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clauses
(a) or (b) of this Section 2.15, any Affected Party is required to compensate a
bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other
similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or
maintenance of the Advance hereunder, then within ten days after demand by such Affected Party, the
Servicer shall pay (and to the extent the Servicer does not make such payment the Sellers, jointly
and severally, shall pay) to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be
necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts payable or paid by it.

     (d) In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.15, the Affected Party
may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under
this Section 2.15 shall submit to the Servicer a written description as to such additional
or increased cost or reduction and the calculation thereof, which written description shall be
conclusive absent demonstrable error.

     (e) If the applicable Purchaser shall notify their respective Purchaser Agent that a
Eurodollar Disruption Event as described in clause (a) of the definition of “Eurodollar
Disruption Event” has occurred, the applicable Purchaser Agent or the Administrative Agent shall in
turn so notify the Sellers, whereupon all Advances Outstanding of the affected Liquidity Bank or
Institutional Purchaser in respect of which Interest accrues at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall
immediately be converted into Advances Outstanding in respect of which Interest accrues at the Base
Rate.

     (f) Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand or
receive such compensation.

     Section 2.16 Taxes.

     (a) All payments made by an Obligor in respect of a Loan and all payments made by the Sellers
or the Servicer under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction or
withholding for or on account of any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any
amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, any Affected Party or any
Secured Party, then the amount payable to such Person will be increased (such increase, the
“Additional Amount”) such that every net payment made under this Agreement after
withholding for or on account of any Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes on such
increase) is not less than the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or
withholding been deducted or withheld. The foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts,
however, will not apply with respect to net income or franchise taxes imposed on the Purchasers,
any Affected Party, the Administrative Agent or the Purchaser Agents, respectively, with respect to
payments required to be made by a Seller or the Servicer under this Agreement, by a taxing
jurisdiction in which the Purchasers, any Affected Party, the Administrative Agent or the Purchaser
Agents, are organized, conducts business or is paying taxes (as the case may be).

-56-

 

     (b) The Servicer will indemnify (and to the extent the indemnification provided by the
Servicer is insufficient the Sellers, jointly and severally, will indemnify) each Affected Party
for the full amount of Taxes payable by such Person in respect of Additional Amounts and any
liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.
All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within ten days from the date a
written invoice therefor is delivered to the Sellers.

     (c) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by the Sellers and the Servicer of
any Taxes, the Sellers and the Servicer will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each of the
Purchaser Agents at its address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof, appropriate
evidence of payment thereof.

     (d) If a Purchaser is not created or organized under the laws of the United States or a
political subdivision thereof, such Purchaser shall deliver to the Sellers, with a copy to the
Administrative Agent, (i) within fifteen (15) days after the date hereof, two (or such other number
as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN
or Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms or other certificates or statements that may be required
from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities or Applicable Laws), as
appropriate, to permit the Sellers to make payments hereunder for the account of such Purchaser
without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes and (ii) upon the
obsolescence of or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in, any form or certificate
previously
delivered pursuant to this Section 2.16(d), copies (in such numbers as may from time
to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws or regulations) of such additional, amended or successor
forms, certificates or statements as may be required under Applicable Laws or regulations to permit
the Sellers and the Servicer to make payments hereunder for the account of such Purchaser without
deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes.

     (e) If, in connection with an agreement or other document providing liquidity support, credit
enhancement or other similar support to the Purchasers in connection with this Agreement or the
funding or maintenance of the Advance hereunder, the Purchasers are required to compensate a bank
or other financial institution in respect of Taxes under circumstances similar to those described
in this Section 2.16, then, within ten days after demand by the Purchasers, the Servicer
shall pay (and to the extent the Servicer does not make such payment the Sellers, jointly and
severally, shall pay) to the Purchasers such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to
reimburse the Purchasers for any amounts paid by them.

     (f) The Servicer will indemnify (and to the extent the indemnification provided by the
Servicer is insufficient, the Sellers jointly and severally will indemnify) each Affected Party to
the extent of any amounts that are required to be deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement and are not so deposited by virtue of any Tax imposed as a result of
either Seller or both Sellers being treated as a “taxable mortgage pool” within the meaning of
Section 7701(i) of the Code.

     (g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Sellers and the Servicer
hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Sellers and the Servicer contained in this
Section 2.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent shall have the right to determine whether the
amount paid (or proposed to be paid) by the applicable Seller on the Optional Sale Date is
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of clauses (iii), (iv) and
(v) of this Section 2.19(a) and is sufficient to reduce the Advances
Outstanding to the extent requested by the applicable Seller in connection with the Optional

to the Administrative Agent a list specifying all Loans to be sold and assigned pursuant to

Account for Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, as Administrative Agent for the Secured Parties (the
“Collection Account”), and the Servicer shall further maintain a subaccount within the
Collection Account for the purpose of segregating, within two Business Days of the receipt of any
Collections, Principal Collections (the “Principal Collections Account”), over which the
Collateral Custodian as agent for the Secured Parties shall have control and from which none of the
Originators, the Servicer or the Sellers shall have any right of withdrawal other than, at any time
upon one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian, prior to
(A) a payment default on the related Loan (such payment default shall mean any failure to make a
payment on the date such payment is due and such failure continues for more than one calendar day),
(B) a Servicer Default, (C) a Termination Event or (D) an Unmatured Termination Event, in each case
to advance to an Obligor of any Revolving Loan in a given Collection Period prior to the last day
of such Collection Period an amount not to exceed the Principal Collections received from such
Obligor related to such Revolving Loan during that Collection Period; provided, however, that at
all times such depository institution or trust company shall be Wells Fargo or another depository
institution or trust company acceptable to the Administrative Agent and a depository institution
organized under the laws of the United States of America or any one of the States thereof or the
District of Columbia (or any domestic branch of a foreign bank), (i) (a) that has either (1) a
long-term unsecured debt rating of “A” or better by S&P and “A2” or better by Moody’s or (2) a
short-term unsecured debt rating or certificate of deposit rating of “A-1” or better by S&P or
“P-1” or better by Moody’s, (b) the parent corporation of which has either (1) a long-term
unsecured debt rating of “A” or better by S&P and “A2” or better by Moody’s or (2) a short-term
unsecured debt rating or certificate of deposit rating of “A-1” or better by S&P and “P-1” or
better by Moody’s or (c) is otherwise acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (ii) whose
deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (any such depository institution
or trust company, a “Qualified Institution”).

     (g) Adjustments. If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the Collection Account in
respect of a Collection of an item of Collateral and such Collection was received by the Servicer
in the form of a check that is not honored for any reason or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with
respect to the amount of any Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the
actual amount of such Collection, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount

-95-

 

subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or
mistake. Any Scheduled Payment in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed
not to have been paid.

     Section 6.5 Servicer Advances.

     For each Collection Period, if the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payment (or portion
thereof) that was due and payable pursuant to a Loan during such Collection Period was not received
prior to the last day of such Collection Period, the Servicer may (in its sole and absolute
discretion) make an advance in an amount up to the amount of such delinquent Scheduled Payment (or
portion thereof). The Servicer will deposit any Servicer Advances into the Collection Account on
or prior to 9:00 a.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Business Day prior to the related
Payment Date, in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, no Successor Servicer shall have any responsibility to make Servicer Advances.

     Section 6.6 Realization Upon Defaulted Loans.

     The Servicer will use reasonable efforts to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the
ownership of any Related Property relating to a Defaulted Loan and will act as sales and processing
agent for Related Property that it repossesses. The Servicer will follow such other practices and
procedures as it deems necessary or advisable and as are customary and usual in its servicing of
contracts and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such Related Property, which
practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to enforce all obligations of Obligors and
repossessing and selling such Related Property at public or private sale in circumstances other
than those described in the preceding sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
unless the Administrative Agent has specifically given instruction to the contrary, the Servicer
may sell any such Related Property to the Servicer or its Affiliates for a purchase price equal to
the then fair market value thereof, any such sale to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible
Officer of the Servicer delivered to the Administrative Agent setting forth the Loan, the Related
Property, the sale price of the Related Property and certifying that such sale price is the fair
market value of such Related Property. In any case in which any such Related Property has suffered
damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any repair or toward the repossession
of such Related Property unless it reasonably determines that such repair and/or repossession will
increase the Recoveries by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer will
remit to the Collection Account the Recoveries received in connection with the sale or disposition
of Related Property relating to a Defaulted Loan.

     Section 6.7 Maintenance of Insurance Policies.

     The Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that each Obligor (or, in the case
of any REO Asset, each REO Asset Owner) maintains an Insurance Policy with respect to any Related
Property (other than accounts receivable) or REO Asset, as applicable, in an amount at least equal
to the Servicer’s good faith and commercially reasonable estimate of the value of the real
property, inventory, and/or equipment constituting such Related Property or REO Asset, as
applicable, and shall ensure that each such Insurance Policy names the Servicer as loss payee

-96-

 

and as an insured thereunder and all of the applicable Seller’s right, title and interest
therein is fully assigned to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties.
Additionally, the Servicer shall require that each Obligor (or, in the case of any REO Asset, each
REO Asset Owner) maintain property damage liability insurance during the term of each Loan (or, in
the case of a REO Asset, during such period of time as the related REO Asset Owner owns and
operates such REO Asset) in amounts and against risks customarily insured against by the Obligor or
the REO Asset Owner, as applicable, on property owned by it. If an Obligor or REO Asset Owner, as
applicable, fails to maintain property damage insurance, the Servicer may in its discretion
purchase and maintain such insurance on behalf of, and at the expense of, the Obligor or REO Asset
Owner, as applicable. In connection with its activities as Servicer, the Servicer agrees to
present, on behalf of the Administrative Agent, claims to the insurer under each Insurance Policy
and any such liability policy, and to settle, adjust and compromise such claims, in each case,
consistent with the terms of each Loan. The Servicer’s Insurance Policies with respect to the
Related Property or REO Asset, as applicable, will insure against liability for physical damage
relating to such Related Property or REO Asset, as applicable, in accordance with the requirements
of the Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer hereby disclaims any and all right, title and
interest in and to any Insurance Policy and Insurance Proceeds with respect to any Related Property
or REO Asset, as applicable, including any Insurance Policy with respect to which it is named as
loss payee and as an insured, and agrees that it has no equitable, beneficial or other interest in
the Insurance Polices and Insurance Proceeds other than being named as loss payee and as an
insured. The Servicer acknowledges that with respect to the Insurance Policies and Insurance
Proceeds thereof that it is acting solely in the capacity as agent for the Administrative Agent, as
agent for the Secured Parties.

     Section 6.8 Servicing Compensation.

     As compensation for its servicing activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses, the
Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee to the extent of funds available therefor
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.10(a)(ii), as applicable.

     Section 6.9 Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer.

     The Servicer will be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its
activities under this Agreement, including fees and disbursements of independent accountants, Taxes
imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with payments and reports pursuant to this
Agreement, and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement for the
account of the Sellers, but excluding Liquidation Expenses incurred as a result of activities
contemplated by Section 6.6; provided, however, for avoidance of doubt, to the extent
Liquidation Expenses relate to a Loan and one or more Related Loans, such Liquidation Expenses
shall be allocated pro rata among such Loans and such Related Loans. The Servicer will be required
to pay all reasonable fees and expenses owing to any bank or trust company in connection with the
maintenance of the Collection Account and the Lock-Box Account. The Servicer shall be required to
pay such expenses for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than
the Servicing Fee.

substantially in the form of Exhibit J.

     (d) Financial Statements. The Servicer will submit to the Administrative Agent, each

on Form 10-K of CapitalSource Inc. in the form as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

any Liquidity Bank, copies of all federal, state and local Tax returns and reports filed by each
Seller and the Servicer, or in which such Seller or the Servicer was included on a consolidated or
combined basis (excluding sales, use and like taxes).

     (f) Obligor Financial Statements; Valuation Reports; Other Reports. The initial
Servicer will provide access to the Administrative Agent with respect to each Loan: (i) to the
extent received by the applicable Seller and/or the initial Servicer, the financial reporting
package required to be delivered under the Loan documents (including any officer’s certificates);
(ii) the initial Servicer’s most recent internal rating reports and any Loan modification memos; or
(iii) any recurring audit memos to the extent undertaken by the initial Servicer, in each case
which access shall be provided, for a period of 10 Business Days or such longer period as
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and agreed upon by the initial Servicer, (a)
within 60 days after the end of each of the initial Servicer’s fiscal quarters (excluding the last
fiscal quarter) and (b) within 90 days after the end of the initial Servicer’s fiscal year. The
initial Servicer will, following provision of reasonable notice and to the extent received by the
applicable Seller and/or the initial Servicer, promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent any
other documents and information required to be delivered under the Loan documents to the applicable
Seller and/or the initial Servicer with respect to any Loan.

-98-

 

     Section 6.11 Annual Statement as to Compliance.

     The Servicer will provide to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent, within ninety
(90) days following the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, a fiscal report signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Servicer certifying that (a) a review of the activities of the Servicer,
and the Servicer’s performance pursuant to this Agreement, for the fiscal period ending on the last
day of such fiscal year has been made under such Person’s supervision and (b) the Servicer has
performed or has caused to be performed in all material respects all of its obligations under this
Agreement throughout such year and no Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing.

     Section 6.12 Annual Independent Public Accountant’s Servicing Reports.

     The Servicer will cause a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants (who
may also render other services to the Servicer) to furnish to the Administrative Agent, each
Purchaser Agent, the Collateral Custodian and the Backup Servicer, within ninety (90) days
following the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer: (i) a report relating to such fiscal year to
the effect that (a) such firm has reviewed certain documents and records relating to the servicing
of the Collateral, and (b) based on such examination, such firm is of the opinion that the Monthly
Reports for such year were prepared in compliance with this Agreement, except for such exceptions
as it believes to be immaterial and such other exceptions as will be set forth in such firm’s
report and (ii) a report covering such fiscal year to the effect that such accountants have applied
certain agreed-upon procedures (which procedures shall have been approved by the Administrative
Agent and each Purchaser Agent) to certain documents and records relating to the Collateral under
any Transaction Document, compared the information contained in the Monthly Reports and the
Servicer’s Certificates delivered during the period covered by such report with such documents and
records and that no matters came to the attention of such accountants that caused them to believe
that such servicing was not conducted in compliance with this Article VI of this Agreement,
except for such exceptions as such accountants shall believe to be immaterial and such other
exception as shall be set forth in such statement.

     Section 6.13 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others

     Except as provided herein, the Servicer shall not be under any liability to the Administrative
Agent, each Purchaser Agent, the Secured Parties or any other Person for any action taken or for
refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement whether arising from express or
implied duties under this Agreement; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein nothing shall protect the Servicer against any liability that would otherwise be
imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties
or by reason of its willful misconduct hereunder.

     Section 6.14 The Servicer Not to Resign.

     The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon
the Servicer’s determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes

take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under Applicable Law. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced as to clause

-99-

accordance with Section 6.2.

     If any one of the following events (a “Servicer Default”) shall occur and be

then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as any such Servicer Default shall
not have been remedied within any applicable cure period prior to the date of the Servicer
Termination Notice (defined below), the Administrative Agent, by written notice to the Servicer
(with a copy to the Backup Servicer) (a “Servicer Termination Notice”), may terminate all
of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement.

     Section 6.16 Appointment of Successor Servicer.

     (a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice pursuant to
Section 6.15, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this
Agreement until the date specified in the Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the
Administrative Agent in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Servicer Termination
Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent, until a date mutually agreed upon by the
Servicer and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at the time described in the
immediately preceding sentence in its sole discretion, appoint the Backup Servicer as the Servicer
hereunder, and the Backup Servicer shall on such date assume all obligations of the Servicer
hereunder, and all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be
vested in the Backup Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Backup Servicer shall be entitled to
the Servicing Fee, together with other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late
payment charges or otherwise as provided herein; including, without limitation, Transition
Expenses. In the event that the Administrative Agent does not so appoint the Backup Servicer,
there is no Backup Servicer or the Backup Servicer is unable to assume such obligations on such
date, the Administrative Agent shall as promptly as possible appoint a successor servicer (the
“Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a
written assumption in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent. In
the event that a Successor Servicer has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer
ceases to act as Servicer, the Administrative Agent shall petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution, having a net worth of not less than
$50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of Collateral, as the Successor
Servicer hereunder.

     (b) Upon its appointment, the Backup Servicer (subject to Section 6.16(a)) or the
Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with
respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and
provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to
the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable; provided, however, that the Backup
Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall have (i) no liability with respect to any
action performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the Backup Servicer or Successor
Servicer, as applicable, becomes the successor to the Servicer or any claim of a third party based
on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any
advancing obligations, if any, of the Servicer unless it elects to in its sole discretion, (iii) no
obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer (provided, that the Backup Servicer
or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall pay any income taxes for which it is liable), (iv) no
obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the transactions contemplated
hereby, and (v) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations
of any prior Servicer, including the original Servicer. The

-102-

 

indemnification obligations of the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable,
upon becoming a Successor Servicer, are expressly limited to those arising on account of its
failure to act in good faith and with reasonable care under the circumstances. In addition, the
Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall have no liability relating to the
representations and warranties of the Servicer contained in Article IV. Further, for so
long as the Backup Servicer shall be the Successor Servicer, the provisions of Section
2.15, Section 2.16(b) and Section 2.16(e) of this Agreement shall not apply to
it in its capacity as Servicer.

     (c) All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically
cease and terminate upon termination of this Agreement and shall pass to and be vested in the
applicable Seller and, without limitation, such Seller is hereby authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and
other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to
effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the applicable Seller and the Administrative Agent in effecting the termination of the
responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing of the Collateral.

     (d) Upon the Backup Servicer receiving notice that it is required to serve as the Servicer
hereunder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.16, the Backup Servicer
will promptly begin the transition to its role as the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Backup Servicer may, in its discretion, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, any established servicing institution as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer
hereunder. As compensation, any Successor Servicer (including, without limitation, the
Administrative Agent) so appointed shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee, together with
any other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise
as provided herein that accrued prior thereto, including, without limitation, Transition Expenses.
In the event the Backup Servicer is required to solicit bids as provided herein, the Backup
Servicer shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from banks and mortgage servicing institutions
meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 6.16(a) above. Such public announcement
shall specify that the Successor Servicer shall be entitled to the full amount of the Servicing Fee
as servicing compensation, together with the other servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees, late payment charges or otherwise that accrued prior thereto. Within thirty (30) days after
any such public announcement, the Backup Servicer shall negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and
assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting
the highest qualifying bid. The Backup Servicer shall deduct from any sum received by the Backup
Servicer from the successor to the Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all
costs and expenses of any public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the
servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder and the amount of any unreimbursed Servicing
Advances. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Backup Servicer to
the Servicer at the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to the Servicer’s successor. The
Backup Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall
be necessary to effectuate any such succession. No appointment of a successor to the Servicer
hereunder shall be effective until written notice of such proposed appointment shall have been
provided by the Backup Servicer to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent and the Backup
Servicer shall have consented thereto. The Backup Servicer shall not resign as servicer until a
Successor Servicer has been

-103-

 

appointed and accepted such appointment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, in no event shall Wells Fargo, in any capacity, be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any
differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce
any Successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for by this
Agreement.

     Section 6.17 Servicing of REO Assets.

     (a) If, in the reasonable business judgment of the Servicer, it becomes necessary to convert
any Loan that is secured by a Mortgage or real property and included in the Collateral into an REO
Asset in accordance with Section 6.6, the Servicer shall first cause the applicable Seller
to transfer and assign such Real Estate Loan (or the portion thereof owned by such Seller) to a
special purpose vehicle (the “REO Asset Owner”) using a contribution agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit L. All membership interests and any other equity of
the REO Asset Owner acquired by the applicable Seller shall immediately become a part of the
Collateral and be subject to the grant of a security interest under Section 9.1 and shall
be promptly delivered to the Collateral Custodian, each undated and duly indorsed in blank. The
REO Asset Owner shall be formed and operated pursuant to a limited liability company operating
agreement substantially in the form as Exhibit M, with any alterations thereto as
reasonably agreed to by the Servicer and the Administrative Agent. After execution thereof, the
Servicer shall prevent the REO Asset Owner from agreeing to any amendment or other modification of
the REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating agreement without first obtaining the
written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Servicer shall cause each REO Asset to be
serviced (i) in accordance with Applicable Laws, (ii) with reasonable care and diligence, (iii) in
accordance with the applicable REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating agreement,
(iv) in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and (v) with a view toward maximizing
Recoveries on such REO Asset (collectively, the “REO Servicing Standard”). The Servicer
will cause all “Distributable Cash” (as defined in the respective REO Asset Owner’s limited
liability company operating agreement) to be deposited into the Collection Account within two
Business Days of receipt thereof. At all times prior to the “Threshold Date” (as defined in the
applicable REO Asset Owner limited liability company operating agreement), the Servicer shall not
permit the REO Asset Owner to undertake any of the activities set forth in Section 9.4(c) (or
comparable section) of such REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating agreement.

     (b) In the event that title to any Related Property is acquired on behalf of the REO Asset
Owner for the benefit of its members in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or upon
abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the
name of a REO Asset Owner. The Servicer shall cause the REO Asset Owner to manage, conserve,
protect and operate each REO Asset for its members solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition
and sale.

     (c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Servicer
shall not (and shall not permit the REO Asset Owner to) obtain title to any Related Property as a
result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, obtain title to any direct or indirect
partnership interest in any Obligor pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the
beneficial owner of Related Property, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to, and shall
not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Related

-104-

 

Property if, as a result of any such action, the REO Asset Owner would be considered to hold
title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of, such Related
Property within the Meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable state or local environmental law,
unless the Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the REO Servicing Standard, based
on an updated Phase I environmental assessment report generally prepared in accordance with the
ASTM Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Standard E 1527-05, as may be amended or, with respect
to residential property, a property inspection and title report, that:

          (i) such Related Property is in compliance in all material respects with applicable
environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it
would be in the best economic interest of the Sellers and the REO Asset Owner to take such
actions as are necessary to bring such Related Property in compliance therewith, and

          (ii) there are no circumstances present at such Related Property relating to the use,
management or disposal of any hazardous materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation would reasonably be expected to be required
by the owner, occupier or operator of the Related Property under applicable federal, state
or local law or regulation, or that, if any such hazardous materials are present for which
such action would reasonably be expected to be required, after consultation with an
environmental consultant, it would be in the best economic interest of the Sellers and the
REO Asset Owner to take such actions with respect to the affected Related Property.

In the event that the Phase I or other environmental assessment first obtained by the Servicer with
respect to Related Property indicates that such Related Property may not be in compliance with
applicable environmental laws or that hazardous materials may be present but does not definitively
establish such fact, the Servicer shall cause such further environmental assessment activities to
be conducted by an independent third-party who regularly conducts such assessments as the Servicer
shall deem prudent to protect the interests of the Sellers and the REO Asset Owner. Any such
assessments shall be deemed part of the environmental assessment obtained by the Servicer for
purposes of this Section 6.17(c).

care and attention as it employs with respect to similar Collateral that it holds as
Collateral Custodian.

may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Custodian shall be a party, or
(iii) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Collateral Custodian substantially as a
whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform

of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or
opinion of such counsel.

the negligent performance of its Payment Duties and in the case of its negligent performance of its
duties in taking and retaining custody of the Required Loan Documents.

     (d) The Collateral Custodian makes no warranty or representation and shall have no
responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) as to the content, enforceability,
completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the
Collateral, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity or
value (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) of any of the Collateral. The Collateral

except upon the Collateral Custodian’s determination that (i) the performance of its duties
hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable Law and (ii) there is no reasonable action
that the Collateral Custodian could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder
permissible under Applicable Law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the
Collateral Custodian shall be evidenced as to clause (i) above by an Opinion of Counsel to

shall become effective until a successor Collateral Custodian shall have assumed the
responsibilities and obligations of the Collateral Custodian hereunder.

     Section 8.8 Release of Documents.

     (a) Release for Servicing. From time to time and as appropriate for the enforcement

Sellers Guaranty and each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to
become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, including, without limitation, all

intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser
Agents, the Liquidity Banks or any of the Secured Parties of any obligation of the Sellers or any
other Person in connection with any or all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument
relating thereto. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a)

have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account, (ii) this
agreement terminates in accordance with Section 13.6 or (iii) such Loan is assigned, sold,
transferred or re-transferred and removed in accordance with Section 2.19, Section

other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or services related to such
Collateral or the furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services;

perform its respective duties under any Collateral;

demand therefor.

     (c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 11.1 is
unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then
the Sellers or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the
one hand and the Sellers or the Servicer, as the case may be, on the other hand but

-121-

 

also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.

     (d) The obligations of the Sellers under this Section 11.1 shall survive the

agent of the security and payment agent for holders of Agented Loans and (ii) its origination of
Loans and the subsequent transfer of such Loans to CapitalSource Finance. The provisions of this
indemnity shall run directly to and be enforceable by an injured party subject to the limitations
hereof.

     (b) Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 11.2 shall
be paid by the Servicer to the Indemnified Party within five Business Days following such Person’s
demand therefor.

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

     (d) The obligations of the Servicer under this Section 11.2 shall survive the
resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Backup Servicer or
the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND PURCHASER AGENTS

     Section 12.1 The Administrative Agent.

     (a) Each Purchaser Agent and each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Agent as its agent and bailee for purposes of perfection pursuant to the applicable
UCC or other Applicable Law and hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint
additional agents and bailees to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each of the Purchaser
Agents and each Secured Party. Each of the Purchaser Agents and each Secured Party further
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such
powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the foregoing, each
Secured Party hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent to execute and deliver all
further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent may
deem necessary or appropriate or that a Secured Party may reasonably request in order to perfect,
protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Sellers hereunder, or to
enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including,
without limitation, the execution by the Administrative Agent as secured party/assignee of such
financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all
or any of the Collateral now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices,
as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. The Purchaser Agents and
the Purchasers may direct the Administrative Agent to take any such incidental action hereunder.
With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the
Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any such
incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be
fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Purchaser Agents and
the Purchasers; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any
action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the
Administrative Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision of
this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. In
the event the Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Purchaser Agent or a Purchaser
pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does not receive a consent
(either positive or negative) from such Person within ten Business Days of such Person’s receipt of
such request, then such Purchaser Agent or Purchaser shall be deemed to have declined to consent to
the relevant amendments.

     (b) The Administrative Agent shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
person’s own affairs.

     (c) Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of
its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be

-123-

 

taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any
of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal
counsel (including counsel for the Sellers or the Originators), independent public accountants and
other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in
good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes
no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to
ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the Sellers,
the Originators, or the Servicer or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of
the Sellers, the Originators, or the Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible for the due execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the
other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or
thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent,
certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telex) believed by it to be genuine and
signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

     (d) Credit Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent. Each Purchaser Agent
and Secured Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based upon such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to
enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each
Purchaser Agent and Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based
on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party.

     (e) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each Purchaser Agent and Purchaser
agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Sellers or the
Servicer), ratably in accordance with its Pro-Rata Share from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of
the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent
hereunder or thereunder; provided, that none of the Purchaser Agents or Purchasers shall be liable
for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Purchaser Agent and Purchaser
agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its Pro-Rata Share
promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of
rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent
that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or

-124-

 

otherwise in respect of the Purchaser Agents, or the Purchasers hereunder and/or thereunder
and to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Sellers
or the Servicer.

     (f) Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time,
effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided
below, by giving at least five days’ written notice thereof to each Purchaser Agent and the Sellers
and may be removed at any time with cause by the Purchaser Agents acting jointly. Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Purchaser Agents acting jointly shall appoint a successor
Administrative Agent. Each of the Purchaser Agents agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold
or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within
thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the
removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf
of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative
Agent shall be either (i) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any
state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (ii) an Affiliate
of such a bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder
as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII shall continue to inure to its benefit
as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this
Agreement.

     (g) Payments by the Administrative Agent. Unless specifically allocated to a specific
Purchaser Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Purchaser Agents shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Purchaser
Agents in accordance with their respective Pro-Rata Shares in the applicable Advances Outstanding
on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after
12:00 noon on such Business Day, in which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable
efforts to pay such amounts to each Purchaser Agent on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall
pay such amounts to such Purchaser Agent not later than the following Business Day.

     Section 12.2 The Purchaser Agents.

     (a) Authorization and Action. Each Purchaser hereby designates and appoints its
applicable Purchaser Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under each other Transaction Document,
and authorizes such Purchaser Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers as are delegated to such Purchaser Agent by the terms of this Agreement together and
the other Transaction Documents with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Such
Purchaser Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth
herein, or any fiduciary relationship with its related Purchaser, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of such Purchaser Agent
shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or

-125-

 

otherwise exist for such Purchaser Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder
and under the other Transaction Documents, such Purchaser Agent shall act solely as agent for its
related Purchaser and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or
relationship of trust or agency with or for the Sellers or any of their respective successors or
assigns. Such Purchaser Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes such Purchaser
Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, or any other Transaction
Document or Applicable Law. The appointment and authority of such Purchaser Agent hereunder shall
terminate at the indefeasible payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids. Each Purchaser Agent,
respectively, hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute each of the UCC Financing
Statements on behalf of such Purchaser (the terms of which shall be binding on such Purchaser).

     (b) Delegation of Duties. Each applicable Purchaser Agent may execute any of its

     (c) Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any applicable Purchaser Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or
omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other

first be indemnified to its satisfaction by its related Purchaser; provided that unless and until
such Purchaser Agent shall have received such advice, such Purchaser Agent may take or refrain from
taking any action as such Purchaser Agent shall deem

all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request
of its related Purchaser, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto

Purchaser, respectively, expressly acknowledges that neither its related Purchaser Agent nor any of
its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any
representations or warranties to it and that no act by such Purchaser Agent hereafter taken,
including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Sellers, shall be deemed to

respectively, represents and warrants to its related Purchaser Agent that it has and will,
independently and without reliance upon such Purchaser Agent, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of

Purchaser Agent shall resign, then its related Purchaser, during such five day period, shall
appoint a successor agent. If for any reason no successor Agent is appointed by such Purchaser
during such five day period, then effective upon the expiration of such five day period, the
Sellers shall make all payments in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids directly to such Purchaser and
for all purposes shall deal directly with such Purchaser. After any retiring Purchaser Agent’s
resignation hereunder as Purchaser Agent, the provisions of Articles XI and XII shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Purchaser Agent under

Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Aggregate Unpaids.
Each Additional Agent hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute each of the UCC
financing statements on behalf of such Additional Agent (the terms of which shall be binding on
such Additional Agent).

     (b) Delegation of Duties. Any of the Additional Agents may execute any of its duties
under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact
and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No

or warranties made by the Sellers or the Servicer contained in Article IV, any other Transaction
Document or any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or
received under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for the
value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any
other Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith, or
for any failure of the Sellers or the Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder,
or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in this Agreement, or for the perfection,
priority, condition, value or sufficiency of any collateral pledged in connection herewith. No
Additional Agent shall be under any obligation to any Additional Purchaser to ascertain or to
inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or
conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties,
books or records of either Seller or the Servicer. No Additional Agent shall be deemed to have
knowledge of any Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event unless such Additional Agent has

or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel
to either Seller), independent accountants and other experts selected by such

Additional Agent. Each Additional Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall
first receive such advice or concurrence of the related Additional Purchaser as it deems
appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by such Additional Purchaser;
provided, that unless and until such Additional Agent shall have received such advice, the
Additional Agent may take or refrain from taking any action, as the Additional Agent shall deem
advisable and in the best interests of the related Additional Purchaser. Each Additional Agent
shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a
request of the related Additional Purchaser, and such request and any action taken or failure to
act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon such Additional Purchaser.

     (e) Non-Reliance on Additional Agent. Each Additional Purchaser expressly
acknowledges that neither any Additional Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees,
agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that
no act by such Additional Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the
affairs of the Sellers or the Servicer, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by such Additional Agent. Each Additional Purchaser represents and warrants to the
related Additional Agent that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon such
Additional Agent, such Additional Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations,
property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Sellers and made
its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other
documents related hereto or thereto.

     (f) Additional Agent in its Individual Capacity. Each Additional Agent and its
Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business
with either Seller or any Affiliate of either Seller as though such Additional Agent were not an
Additional Agent hereunder. With respect to Advance pursuant to this Agreement, each Additional
Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any
Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not an Additional Agent, and the terms
“Purchaser,” and “Purchasers,” shall include the Additional Agent in its individual capacity.

     (g) Successor Additional Agent. Each Additional Agent may, upon five days’ notice to
the Sellers, and the related Additional Purchaser, and such Additional Agent will, upon the
direction of such Additional Purchaser (other than such Additional Agent, in its individual
capacity) resign as Additional Agent. If any Additional Agent shall resign, then the related
Additional Purchaser during such five day period shall appoint a successor agent. If for any
reason no successor Additional Agent is appointed by the related Additional Purchaser during such
five day period, then effective upon the termination of such five day period, and the Sellers shall
make all payments in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids directly to such Additional Purchaser, and
for all purposes shall deal directly with such Additional Purchaser. After any retiring Additional
Agent’s resignation hereunder as an Additional Agent, the provisions of Articles XI and

and interest of the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties and of the Secured
Parties to the Collateral to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to be

Secured Parties to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder or under any
Transaction Document.

     (c) If either Seller or the Servicer fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may (but shall not be required to) perform, or

-134-

 

cause performance of, such obligation; and the Administrative Agent’s or such Secured Party’s
costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Seller as provided in
Article XI. Each Seller irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and appoints the
Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of such Seller (i) to execute on
behalf of such Seller as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the
Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of
the interest of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or
other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a
financing statement in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems
necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of
the Secured Parties in the Collateral. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable.

     (d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller will, not earlier than six
months and not later than three months prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of filing of the
financing statement referred to in Section 3.1 or any other financing statement filed
pursuant to this Agreement, unless the Collection Date shall have occurred:

     (i) execute and deliver and file or cause to be filed an appropriate continuation
statement with respect to such financing statement; and

     (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent an opinion of the

continues to be an enforceable and perfected security interest, subject to no other Liens of
record except as provided herein or otherwise permitted hereunder, which opinion may contain
usual and customary assumptions, limitations and exceptions.

and the Servicer hereto and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with
the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein or related to
any of the underlying Obligors, except that each such party and its officers and employees may (i)
disclose such information to its external accountants, attorneys, rating agencies, investors,
potential investors, parties that provide or may in the future provide first loss or credit
enhancement to such Person and the agents of such Persons (“Excepted Persons”), (ii)
disclose the existence of the Agreement, but not the financial terms thereof, (iii) disclose such
information as is required by Applicable Law and (iv) disclose the Agreement and such information
in any suit, action, proceeding or investigation (whether in law or in equity or pursuant to

reducing its liability, or protecting or exercising any of its claims, rights, remedies, or
interests under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents. It is understood that the

financial terms that may not be disclosed except in compliance with this Section
13.13(a) include, without limitation, all fees and other pricing terms, and all Termination
Events, Servicer Defaults, and priority of payment provisions. Each of the Administrative Agent,

Seller and the Servicer hereto and their respective businesses related to any of the underlying
Obligors for the purpose of their own (or their Affiliates) business development with such
underlying Obligor without the prior written consent of such Seller and the Servicer (provided that
such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

     (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Sellers and the Servicer each hereby

to any commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement

of such information. In addition, the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser
Agents, may disclose any such nonpublic information as required pursuant to any law, rule,
regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or
proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law).

     (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to
prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known; (ii)
disclosure of any and all information (a) if required to do so by any applicable statute, law, rule

     Section 13.14 Execution in Counterparts; Severability; Integration.

     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto
in separate counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which when so executed shall be

-136-

 

deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the
same agreement. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction,
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement and any agreements or letters
(including fee letters) executed in connection herewith contains the final and complete integration
of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall
constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof,
superseding all prior oral or written understandings other than any fee letter delivered by the
Originators to the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, and the Secured Parties.

     Section 13.15 Waiver of Setoff.

     (a) Each of the parties hereto (other than any one of the Purchasers) hereby waives any right
of setoff it may have or to which it may be entitled under this Agreement from time to time against
such Purchaser or its assets.

     (b) Each of the parties hereto (other than any one of the Additional Purchasers) hereby waives
any right of setoff it may have or to which it may be entitled under this Agreement from time to
time against such Additional Purchaser or its assets.

     Section 13.16 Assignments.

     Each Purchaser may at any time assign, or grant a security interest or sell a participation

assignment of a Variable Funding Note or Additional Purchaser Variable Funding Note, the assignee
(other than any assignee that is a Liquidity Bank) shall execute and deliver to the Servicer and
the Administrative Agent a Transferee Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto
(the “Transferee Letter”). The parties to any such assignment, grant or sale of
participation interest shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser Agent or the related Additional
Agent, as applicable, for its acceptance and recording in its books and records, such agreement or
document as may be satisfactory to such parties and the Purchaser Agent or such Additional Agent,
as applicable. Neither Seller may assign or delegate, or grant any interest in, or permit any Lien
to exist upon, any of such Seller’s rights, obligations or duties under this Agreement without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

     Section 13.17 Heading and Exhibits.

     The headings herein are for purposes of references only and shall not otherwise affect the
meaning or interpretation of any provision hereof. The schedules and exhibits attached hereto and
referred to herein shall constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this
Agreement for all purposes.

     Section 13.18 Loans Subject to Retained Interest Provisions.

     (a) With respect to any Loan included in the Collateral subject to the Retained Interest
provisions of this Agreement, the applicable Seller will own only the principal portion of

-137-

 

such Loans outstanding as of the Closing Date. Principal Collections received by the
applicable Seller or the Servicer on any Revolving Loans will be allocated between the portion
owned by the applicable Seller and the portion not owned by such Seller (if any) on a pro rata
basis according to the outstanding principal amount of such portion; provided, however, that upon
the earlier to occur of any Termination Event or the Termination Date, Principal Collections
received by the applicable Seller or the Servicer on any Revolving Loans will be allocated first to
the portion of such Revolving Loan owned by the applicable Seller, until the principal amount of
such portion is reduced to zero, and then to the portion not owned by such Seller except in the
case where any portion of such Revolving Loan not owned by such Seller is required, pursuant to any
financing document, to be paid on a pro rata basis under such financing document, in which case
such portion of the Revolving Loan will have Principal Collections allocated to it on a pro rata
basis according to the outstanding principal amount of such portion.

     (b) With respect to any Term Loans included in the Collateral subject to the Retained Interest
provisions of this Agreement, Principal Collections and Interest Collections received by the
Servicer will be allocated between the portion owned by the applicable Seller and the portion not
owned by such Seller (if any) on a pro rata basis according to the outstanding principal amount of
such portion.

     Section 13.19 Tax Treatment of the Advance.

     It is the intention of the Sellers and the Purchasers that, for U.S. federal, state and local
income and franchise tax purposes only, the Advance made hereunder will be treated as indebtedness
secured by the Collateral. The Sellers, by entering into this Agreement, and the Purchasers, by
making the Advance described herein, agree to treat the Advance for U.S. federal, state and local
income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness. The provisions of this Agreement and all
related Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties.

ARTICLE XIV

GUARANTY

     Section 14.1 The Guaranty.

     (a) In order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents to
enter into this Agreement and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the
Guarantors from the Sellers Guaranty, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees with the Administrative
Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties as follows: the Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably jointly and severally guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full
and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all
Aggregate Unpaids, subject to Section 14.9 and Section 14.10 (the “Guaranteed
Obligations”). If any or all of such indebtedness becomes due and payable hereunder, each
Guarantor unconditionally promises to deposit (or cause to be deposited) on demand into the
Collections Account sufficient funds to pay such Guaranteed Obligations together with any and all
reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party
in collecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject to

-138-

 

Section 14.9 and Section 14.10. The Guaranty set forth in this Article
XIV is a guaranty of timely payment and not of collection. The word “indebtedness” is used in
this Article XIV in its most comprehensive sense and includes any and all advances, debts,
obligations and liabilities of the Sellers, including specifically all Guaranteed Obligations,
arising in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, in each case,
heretofore, now, or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether voluntarily or involuntarily,
absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, whether or not
such indebtedness is from time to time reduced, or extinguished and thereafter increased or
incurred, whether the Sellers may be liable individually or jointly with others, whether or not
recovery upon such indebtedness may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations,
and whether or not such indebtedness may be or hereafter become otherwise unenforceable; provided,
however, that the word “indebtedness” as used in this Article XIV shall not include any
amounts owed under clause (i) of the definition of Aggregate Unpaids.

     (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the
Transaction Documents, to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be
invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable
state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each
such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under
applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code).

     Section 14.2 Bankruptcy.

     Additionally, each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and
severally the payment of any and all Guaranteed Obligations of the Sellers to any of the Secured
Parties whether or not due or payable by the Sellers upon the occurrence of any Insolvency Event
relating to the Sellers, and unconditionally promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations, subject
to Section 14.9 and Section 14.10, to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Secured Parties, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States. Each of the
Guarantors further agrees that to the extent that a Seller shall make a payment or a transfer of an
interest in any property to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, which payment or
transfer or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, or otherwise is avoided, and/or required to be repaid to such Seller, the estate of
such Seller, a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law,
common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such avoidance or repayment, the obligation or
part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if
said payment had not been made.

     Section 14.3 Nature of Liability.

     The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or
other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Sellers whether executed by such Guarantor, any
other guarantor or by any other party, and no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be affected or
impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by a Seller or by any other party, or
(b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of
any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations of a Seller, or (c) any payment

-139-

 

on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution,
termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Servicer or any of the Originators,
or (e) any payment made to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party on the Guaranteed
Obligations that the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party repays to a Seller pursuant to
court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief
proceeding, and each of the Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

     Section 14.4 Independent Obligation.

     The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other
Guarantor or the Sellers, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against
each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor or either Seller and
whether or not any other Guarantor or such Seller is joined in any such action or actions.

     Section 14.5 Authorization.

     Each of the Guarantors expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser, each
Purchaser Agent and the Collateral Custodian without notice or demand (except as shall be required
by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability
hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise
change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
part thereof in accordance with this Agreement including any increase or decrease of the rate of
interest thereon, (b) take and hold security from any Guarantor or any other party for the payment
of the Guaranty or the Guaranteed Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such
security, (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the
Administrative Agent in its sole reasonable discretion may determine and (d) release or substitute
any one or more endorsers, the Guarantors, the Sellers or other obligors.

     Section 14.6 Reliance.

     It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to inquire into
the capacity or powers of either Seller or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents
acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created in
reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

     Section 14.7 Waiver.

     (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable
statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to
(i) proceed against the Sellers, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or
exhaust any security held from the Sellers, any other guarantor or any other party, or (iii)
pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Secured Party’s power whatsoever.
Each of the Guarantors hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the
Sellers, any other guarantor or any other party other than payment in full of the Guaranteed
Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations), including without

-140-

 

limitation any defense based on or arising out of the disability of either Seller, the
Servicer, any of the Originators, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability
of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause
of the liability of the Sellers other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. The
Administrative Agent may, as set forth in Section 10.2, foreclose on any security or
exercise any other right or remedy the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may have
against the Sellers or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way
the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been
paid in full. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives any defense arising out of any such election
by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, even though such election operates to
impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the
Guarantors against the Sellers or any other party or any security.

     (b) Each of the Guarantors hereby waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests
and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance, notice of protest, notices of
dishonor, notices of acceptance of the Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or
incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility
for being and keeping itself informed of the Sellers’, Servicer’s and Originators’ financial
condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes
and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party
shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it regarding such
circumstances or risks.

     (c) Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees it will not exercise any rights of subrogation which
it may at any time otherwise have as a result of the Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section
509 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Secured Parties against either
Seller or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Seller owing to the Secured
Parties (collectively, the “Other Parties”) and all contractual, statutory or common law
rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Other Party which it may at any time
otherwise have as a result of the Guaranty until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations shall
have been paid in full. Each of the Guarantors hereby further agrees not to exercise any right to
enforce any other remedy that the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties or the Backup
Servicer now have or may hereafter have against any Other Party, any endorser or any other
guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Sellers and any benefit of, and
any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to or for the benefit of the Secured
Parties to secure payment of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Sellers until such time as the
Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnity obligations).

     Section 14.8 Limitation on Enforcement.

     The Secured Parties agree that the Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the
Administrative Agent acting in its sole discretion and that no Purchaser or Purchaser Agent shall
have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and
agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of the Secured Parties under the terms of this Agreement.

-141-

 

     Section 14.9 Limitations on Payment.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XIV, it is agreed that the
obligations of each Guarantor to make payment of the Guaranteed Obligations at any time shall be
limited to the extent that such Guarantor has funds available to it on any given “Payment Date” (as
defined in the CS Europe Financing) to make payment thereof under Clause 8.3.9 of the CS Europe
Financing or, as applicable, to the extent of funds available for distribution under Clause 8.1.3
of the “Deed of Subordination” (as defined in the CS Europe Financing). To the extent, in either
case, that such funds are insufficient to discharge in full each Guarantor’s liability under this
Article XIV, then such amount as may remain due from the Guarantor shall continue to be
regarded as outstanding for the purposes of making any demand under this Guaranty, subject always
to the provisions of Clauses 33.10 and 33.11 of the CS Europe Financing, as they are incorporated
by reference herein pursuant to Section 14.10.

     Section 14.10 Limited Recourse and No Proceedings.

     In the event of enforcement of this Guaranty, the provisions of Clauses 33.10 and 33.11 of the
CS Europe Financing shall apply as if set out in this Section in full, mutatis mutandis.
