     NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the above recitals, the mutual premises and
agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1.

DEFINITIONS

     Section 1.01 Definitions.

     Whenever used in this Agreement, the following words and phrases, unless
the context otherwise requires, shall have the following meanings:

“1940 Act” means the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

“Accelerated Amortization Event” means the occurrence of either of
(i) the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance shall be less than the Aggregate
Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes for a period greater than 60
calendar days or (ii) any of the Offered Notes shall be outstanding on any
Remittance Date after June 20, 2010.

“Accreted Interest” means accrued interest on a Deferred Interest
Loan that is added to the principal amount of such Deferred Interest Loan
instead of being paid as it accrues.

“Acquired Loan” means a Loan that is originated by a Person other
than the Originator or an Affiliate thereof and acquired by the Originator in a
“true sale” transaction pursuant to a standard loan acquisition agreement.

“Addition Notice” means, with respect to any transfer of Substitute
Loans to the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.04 (and the Trust
Depositor’s corresponding prior purchase of such Loans from the Originator), a
notice in the form of Exhibit N, which shall be given at least ten
Business Days prior to the related Subsequent Transfer Date, identifying the
Substitute Loans to be transferred, the Outstanding Loan Balance of such
Substitute Loans and the related Substitution Event (with respect to an
identified Loan or Loans then in the Loan Pool) to which such Substitute Loan
relates, with such notice to be signed both by the Trust Depositor and the
Originator.

“Additional Servicing Fee” means an amount, in addition to the
Servicing Fee, necessary to induce a Successor Servicer to serve as Servicer
hereunder, which amount shall not exceed $100,000 in the aggregate per
Successor Servicer.

“Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person
controlling or controlled by, or under common control with, such specified
Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” (including the terms
“controlling”, “controlled by” and “under common control with”) when used with
respect to any specified Person means the possession, direct or indirect, of
the power

2

 

to vote 20% or more of the voting securities of such Person or to direct
or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person whether
through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. Each of
the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee may conclusively presume that a
Person is not an Affiliate of another Person unless a Responsible Officer of
such trustee has actual knowledge to the contrary.

“Agented Loans” means, with respect to any Loan, (a) the Loan is
originated by the Originator in accordance with the Credit and Collection
Policy as a part of a syndicated loan transaction that has been fully
consummated prior to such Loan becoming part of the Loan Pool, (b) upon the
sale of the Loan under the Transfer and Servicing Agreements to the Issuer, the
Underlying Notes (if any) representing such loan will be endorsed to and held
by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Securityholders and the Hedge
Counterparties or, in the case of a Noteless Loan a copy of the related Loan
Register shall have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, (c)
the Issuer, as assignee of the Loan, will have all of the rights (but none of
the obligations) of the Originator with respect to such Loan and the
Originator’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral, (d) the Loan
is secured by an undivided interest in the Collateral that also secures and is
shared by, on a pro rata basis, all other holders of such Obligor’s notes of
equal priority and (e) the Originator (or a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Originator) is the collateral agent and payment agent for all noteholders of
such Obligor.

“Aggregate Notional Amount” means, on any date, the aggregate
notional amount in respect of the payment obligations of the relevant Hedge
Counterparty that is outstanding on that date under all Hedge Transactions or
any group thereof, as the context requires.

“Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance” means, as of any date, the sum
of the Outstanding Loan Balance for each Loan owned by the Issuer.

“Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance” means, as of any date of
determination, the sum of the Outstanding Principal Balances of each Class
outstanding on such date.

“Agreement” means this Sale and Servicing Agreement, as amended,
modified, waived, supplemented or restated from time to time in accordance with
the terms hereof.

“Amortizing Loan” means a Loan that, by its terms, provides for (or
after a period of time will provide for) a series of Scheduled Payment
installments calculated to amortize the principal balance of the Loan over its
term so that, at the Loan’s maturity, no more than 25% of the maximum
outstanding loan balance remains unpaid, with the remaining balance due at
maturity.

“Asset Based Revolver” means any Revolving Loan (other than a Loan
to an SPE Obligor) secured by accounts receivable and/or inventory.

“Assigned Loan” means a Loan originated by a Person other than the
Originator in which a constant percentage interest has been assigned to the

ESTABLISHMENT OF ISSUER; TRANSFER OF LOAN ASSETS

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

     (a) The Issuer shall be created pursuant to the terms and conditions of
the Trust Agreement, upon the execution and delivery of the Trust Agreement and
the filing by the Owner Trustee of an appropriately completed Certificate of
Trust (as defined in the Trust Agreement) under the Statutory Trust Statute.
The Trust Depositor, as settlor of the Issuer, shall fund and convey assets to
the Issuer pursuant to the terms and provisions hereof. The Issuer shall be
administered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the Trust
Agreement for the benefit of the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties.
The Owner Trustee is hereby specifically recognized by the parties hereto as
empowered to conduct business dealings on

48

 

behalf of the Issuer in accordance
with the terms hereof and of the Trust Agreement. The Servicer is hereby
specifically recognized by the parties hereto as empowered to act on behalf of
the Issuer and the Owner Trustee in accordance with Section 5.02(e) and
Section 5.02(h).

     (b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Trust Depositor hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise
conveys to the Issuer, for a purchase price consisting of $756,598,890.23 in
cash (less placement expenses and certain other expenses
associated with the initial offer and sale of the Notes the proceeds of
which represent the consideration paid by the Issuer herein), the Class E Note
and the Certificate, all the right, title and interest of the Trust Depositor
in and to the following, including but not limited to, all accounts, cash and
currency, chattel paper, electronic chattel paper, tangible chattel paper,
copyrights, copyright licenses, equipment, fixtures, general intangibles,
instruments, commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, inventory, investment
property, letter of credit rights, software, supporting obligations,
accessions, and other property consisting of, arising out of, or related to the
following (the Trust Depositor’s interest in items (i)—(vi) below, being
collectively referred to herein as the “Loan Assets” but in each case
shall exclude any Retained Interest):

     (i) the Initial Loans, all payments paid in respect thereof and all
monies due, to become due or paid in respect thereof accruing on and
after the Initial Cut—Off Date and all Liquidation Proceeds and
recoveries thereon, in each case as they arise after the Initial Cut—Off
Date, but not including the Retained Interest or Interest Collections
received prior to June 1, 2004;

     (ii) all security interests and Liens and Collateral subject thereto
from time to time purporting to secure payment by Obligors under such
Loans;

     (iii) all guaranties, indemnities and warranties, and other
agreements or arrangements of whatever character from time to time
supporting or securing payment of such Loans;

     (iv) the Trust Accounts, each Obligor Lock—Box, each Obligor
Lock—Box Account, the Lock—Box, the Lock—Box Account, and together with
all cash and investments in each of the foregoing;

     (v) all collections and records (including computer records) with
respect to the foregoing;

     (vi) all documents relating to the Loan Files; and

     (vii) all income, payments, proceeds and other benefits of any and
all of the foregoing.

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

49

 

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

     (d) The sale, transfer, assignment, set—over and conveyance of the Loan
Assets by the Trust Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement does not
constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the
Trust Depositor or the Issuer of any obligation of the Originator in connection
with the Loan Assets, or any agreement or instrument relating thereto,
including, without limitation, any obligation to any Obligor, if any, not
financed by the Originator, or (i) any taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by
any Governmental Authority and (ii) any insurance premiums that remain owing
with respect to any Loan at the time such Loan is sold hereunder. The Trust
Depositor also hereby assigns to the Issuer all of the Trust Depositor’s right,
title and interest (but none of its obligations) under the Loan Sale Agreement,
including but not limited to the Trust Depositor’s right to exercise the
remedies created by the Loan Sale Agreement.

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

     (f) If any such transfer of the Loan Assets is deemed to be the mere
granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing, the Trust Depositor may,
to secure the Trust Depositor’s own borrowing under this Agreement (to the
extent that the transfer of the Loan Assets thereunder is deemed to be a mere
granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing) repledge and reassign
(1) all or a portion of the Loan Assets pledged to Trust Depositor by the
Originator and with respect to which the Trust Depositor has not released its
security interest at the time of such pledge and assignment, and (2) all
proceeds thereof. Such repledge and reassignment may be made by Trust
Depositor with or without a repledge and reassignment by Trust Depositor of its
rights under any agreement with the Originator, and without further notice to
or acknowledgment from the Originator. The Originator waives, to the extent
permitted by

50

 

applicable law, all claims, causes of action and remedies, whether
legal or equitable (including any right of setoff), against Trust Depositor or
any assignee of Trust Depositor relating to such action by Trust Depositor in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     Section 2.02 Conditions to Transfer of Loan Assets to Issuer.

certain loan terms and that identifies those Initial Loans that do not conform;

     (g) officially certified, evidence dated within 30 days of the Closing

     On the Closing Date, if the conditions set forth in Section 2.02
have been satisfied, the Issuer shall issue to, or upon the order of, the Trust
Depositor the Certificate representing ownership of a beneficial interest in
100% of the Issuer and the Issuer shall issue, and the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate, to, or upon the order of, the Trust Depositor the Notes secured
by the Indenture Collateral. The Owner Trustee hereby acknowledges its
acceptance, on behalf of the Issuer, of the Loan Assets, and declares that it
shall maintain such right, title and interest in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and the Trust Agreement upon the trust herein and therein set
forth.

     Section 2.04 Conveyance of Substitute Loans.

     (a) (i) Subject to Sections 2.01(d) and (e) and, as
applicable, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section
2.04(c), the Originator may, at its option (but shall not be obligated to)
either:

     (A) contemporaneously convey to the Trust Depositor one or
more Loans as described in Section 2.04(b); or

     (B) deposit to the Principal Collection Account an amount

     (A) the expiration of 180 days after delivery of such notice;

     (B) delivery of written notice to the Indenture Trustee from
the Servicer stating that it does not intend to use any remaining

     (C) in the case of a Loan which has become subject to a
Material Modification, the effective date set forth in such
Material Modification (such period described in clause
(ii)(A), (B) or (C), as applicable, being the
“Substitution Period”).

     (iii) Each Notice of Substitution shall specify the Loan to be
substituted, the reasons for such substitution and the amount sufficient
to purchase the Loan, which shall be determined in compliance with
Section 2.07. On the last day of any Substitution Period, any
amounts previously deposited in accordance with clause (II) above which
relate to such Substitution Period that have not been applied to purchase
one or more Substitute Loans shall be deemed to constitute Principal
Collections and shall be transferred on the next Remittance Date to the
Note Distribution Account and distributed to the Securityholders in
accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 7.05
(a) or (b), as applicable and prior to the expiration of the
related Substitution Period any such amounts shall not be deemed to be

copyrights, copyright licenses, equipment, fixtures, general intangibles,
instruments, commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, inventory, investment
property, letter of credit rights, software, supporting obligations,

property in clauses (i)-(vii) below, upon such transfer, becoming part
of the “Loan Assets”):

     (i) the Substitute Loans listed in the related Addition Notice, all
payments paid in respect thereof and all monies due, to become due or
paid in respect thereof accruing on and after the related Subsequent
Cut—Off Dates and all Liquidation Proceeds and recoveries thereon, in
each case as they arise after the related Subsequent Cut—Off Dates, but
not including the Retained Interest or Interest Collections received
prior to the Subsequent Cut—Off Date;

     (ii) all security interests and Liens and Collateral subject thereto
from time to time purporting to secure payment by Obligors under such
Loans;

     (iii) all guaranties, indemnities and warranties, and other

     (vii) all income, payments, proceeds and other benefits of any and
all of the foregoing.

To the extent the purchase price paid to the Originator for any Substitute Loan
is less than the fair market value of such Substitute Loan, the difference
between such fair market value and the purchase price shall be deemed to be a
capital contribution made by the Originator to the Trust Depositor on the
relevant Transfer Date.

     (c) Subject to Section 2.01(d) and Section 2.01(e) and the
conditions set forth in Section 2.04(d), the Trust Depositor shall sell,
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse
other than as expressly provided herein and therein, (i) all the right, title
and interest of the Trust Depositor in and to the Substitute Loans purchased
pursuant to Sections 2.04(a) and (b), and (ii) all other rights
and property interests consisting of Loan Assets related to such Substitute
Loans (the property in clauses (i) and (ii) above, upon such

     (d) The Originator shall transfer to the Trust Depositor and the Trust
Depositor shall transfer to the Issuer the Substitute Loans and the other
property and rights related thereto described in Section 2.04(b) only
upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or prior to the
related Subsequent Transfer Date (and the delivery of a related Addition Notice
by the Trust Depositor shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the
Trust Depositor and of the Originator that such conditions have been or will
be, as of the related Subsequent Transfer Date, satisfied):

     (i) the Trust Depositor shall have provided the Owner Trustee and
the Indenture Trustee with a timely Addition Notice complying with the

event be no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of

Loan, a corresponding Substitution Event with respect to one or more
Loans then in the Loan Pool;

     (iii) the Substitute Loan being conveyed to the Issuer satisfy the

that a Substitute Loan shall otherwise satisfy clause (f) of the
definition of Substitute Loan Qualification Condition, a Substitute Loan
which at the time of delivery of the related Addition Notice
has a Moody’s rating lower than B3 shall not become part of the Loan
Pool on the proposed Subsequent Transfer Date without the prior written
consent of Moody’s;

54

 

     (iv) the Originator shall have delivered to the Trust Depositor a
duly executed written assignment in substantially the form of Exhibit
J hereto (the “Subsequent Purchase Agreement”), which shall
include a Subsequent List of Loans listing the Substitute Loan;

     (v) the Trust Depositor shall have delivered to the Issuer a duly
executed written assignment (including an acceptance by the Owner
Trustee) in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto (the
“Subsequent Transfer Agreement”), which shall include a Subsequent
List of Loans listing the Substitute Loan;

     (vi) the Trust Depositor shall have deposited or caused to be
deposited in the Principal and Interest Account all Collections received
with respect to the Substitute Loan on and after the related Subsequent
Cut—Off Date;

     (vii) each of the representations and warranties made by the Trust
Depositor pursuant to Sections 3.02, 3.03(i), (ii)
and (iv), 3.04, and 3.05 applicable to the
Substitute Loan (including without limitation that each such Substitute
Loan is an Eligible Loan) shall be true and correct as of the related
Subsequent Transfer Date; provided, however, that,
(A) with respect to the representation and warranty made by the Trust
Depositor in Section 3.05(a), such representation and warranty
shall only apply to a Loan that is being substituted for a Loan that is
not an Eligible Loan and (B) with respect to the representations and
warranties made by the Trust Depositor in Sections 3.03(iv) and
3.05, such representations and warranties shall be determined
based upon the Outstanding Loan Balances of the Substitute Loan as of the
applicable Subsequent Transfer Date over the Initial Aggregate
Outstanding Loan Balance;

     (viii) the Originator shall bear all incidental transactions costs
incurred in connection with a substitution effected pursuant to this
Agreement and shall, at its own expense, on or prior to the Subsequent
Transfer Date, indicate in its Computer Records that ownership of the
Substitute Loan identified on the Subsequent List of Loans in the
Subsequent Transfer Agreement has been sold to the Issuer through the
Trust Depositor pursuant to this Agreement; and

     (ix) prior to such substitution the Originator shall provide written
notice to each Rating Agency and shall have received written confirmation
from Moody’s and S&P (which shall respond to the Originator within
fifteen (15) Business Days after receiving written notice from the
Originator of its intention to substitute a Loan) that the proposed
substitution will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating
on the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class
C Notes or the Class D Notes; provided, however, that any failure by
either of Moody’s and S&P to respond to the Originator shall be deemed a
non—approval by Moody’s and/or S&P, as applicable. In the case of Fitch,
only notice to, not confirmation from, Fitch shall be required in
connection with a proposed substitution, provided, however, that
Fitch shall be entitled to receive from the Originator financial
statements, credit committee papers and such other information relating
to such Substitute Loan as is reasonably requested by Fitch in connection
with the proposed substitution of a Loan.

55

 

     (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.04 to the contrary,
in connection with any substitution to be effected pursuant to this Section
2.04, the number of Loans being replaced in connection with such
substitution must be less than or equal to the number of Substitute Loans added
to the Loan Pool.

     Section 2.05 Release of Released Amounts.

     (a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Issuer has no
interest in the Retained Interest and Released Amounts. The Indenture Trustee
hereby agrees to release to the Issuer from the Loan Assets, and the Issuer
hereby agrees to release to the Trust Depositor, an amount equal to the
Released Amounts immediately upon identification thereof and upon receipt of an
Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer, which release shall be automatic and
shall require no further act by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer;
provided, that, the Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments of release and assignment or other
documents, or otherwise confirm the foregoing release, as may reasonably be
requested by the Trust Depositor in writing. Such Released Amounts shall not
constitute and shall not be included in the Loan Assets.

     (b) Immediately upon the release to the Trust Depositor by the Indenture
Trustee of the Released Amounts, the Trust Depositor hereby irrevocably agrees
to release to the Originator such Released Amounts, which release shall be
automatic and shall require no further act by the Trust Depositor;
provided, that, the Trust Depositor shall execute and deliver
such instruments of release and assignment, or otherwise confirming the
foregoing release of any Released Amounts, as may be reasonably requested by
the Originator.

     Section 2.06 Delivery of Documents in the Loan File; Recording of Assignments of Mortgage.

     (a) Subject to the delivery requirements set forth in Section
2.06(b), the Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Originator and the
Trust Depositor to deliver possession of all the Loan Files to the Indenture
Trustee (with copies to be held by the Servicer) on behalf of and for the
account of the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The Originator
and the Trust Depositor shall also identify on the List of Loans (including any
deemed amendment thereof associated with any Substitute Loans), whether by
attached schedule or marking or other effective identifying designation, all
Loans that are or are evidenced by such instruments.

     (b) With respect to each Loan in the Loan Pool on or before the related
Transfer Date, the Trust Depositor will deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Indenture Trustee, to the extent not previously delivered, each of the
documents in the Loan File with respect to such Loan, except that (i) the
original recorded Mortgage, in those instances where a copy thereof certified
by a Responsible Officer of the Originator was delivered to the Indenture
Trustee, will be delivered or caused to be delivered within ten Business Days
after receipt thereof, and in any
event within one year after the related Transfer Date, and (ii) any
intervening Assignments of Mortgage, in those instances where copies thereof
certified by the Originator were delivered to the Indenture Trustee, will be
delivered or caused to be delivered within ten Business Days after the receipt
thereof, and in any event, within one year of the related Transfer Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing in clauses (i) and (ii) of this
Section 2.06(b), in those instances

56

 

where the public recording office
retains the original Mortgage or the intervening Assignments of the Mortgage
after it has been recorded, the Trust Depositor shall be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations hereunder upon delivery to the Indenture Trustee of a
copy of such Mortgage or Assignments of Mortgage certified by the public
recording office to be a true copy of the recorded original thereof.

     (c) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default,
the Indenture Trustee shall not record the Assignments of Mortgage delivered
pursuant to Section 2.06(b). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
or a Servicer Default, the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be recorded in the
appropriate offices each Assignment of Mortgage delivered to it. Each such
recording shall be at the expense of the Servicer; provided,
however, to the extent the Servicer does not pay such expense then the
Indenture Trustee shall be reimbursed pursuant to the provisions of Section
7.05.

     Section 2.07 Optional Purchase or Substitution by the Servicer for Prepaid or Charged—Off Loans.

     The Servicer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase, or
substitute for, any Prepaid Loan, Charged—Off Loan, Delinquent Loan, a Loan
that has a material covenant default or a Loan which has become subject to a
Material Modification of the type specified in clause (v) of the definition
thereof, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.07. In
the case of a purchase, the Servicer shall deposit in the Principal and
Interest Account, on the next succeeding Determination Date, an amount equal to
the Transfer Deposit Amount for such Loan (or applicable portion thereof) as of
the date of such purchase. Any substitution shall be made in accordance with
the provisions of Section 2.04. On the date of such substitution, the
Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee a certificate stating that such
Loan satisfies each of the Substitute Loan Qualification Conditions. The
Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments, consents or other documents and perform all acts reasonably
requested by the Servicer in order to effect the transfer and release of any of
the Issuer’s interests in the Loans that are being purchased or substituted.
In no event, however, may the initial aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of
Prepaid Loans, Charged—Off Loans (excluding Loans deemed to be Charged-Off
Loans solely by the operation of clause (h) of the definition
thereof), Delinquent Loans (excluding Loans deemed to be Delinquent Loans
solely by the operation of clause (f) of the definition thereof),
Loans that have a material covenant default and Loans which have become subject
to a Material Modification of the type specified in clause (v) of the
definition thereof (without regard to whether such Material Modification may
otherwise constitute a Material Modification of a type specified in
clauses (i)-(iv) of the definition thereof) purchased or
substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.07 or substituted pursuant to
Section 2.04, exceed an amount equal to (x) 20% of the Initial Aggregate
Outstanding Loan Balance minus (y) the Outstanding Loan Balance of all Loans
which have become subject to a Specified Amendment and which are part of the
Loan Pool on such date.

     Section 2.08 Certification by Indenture Trustee; Possession of Loan Files.

     (a) On or prior to the applicable Transfer Date, the Indenture Trustee
shall review the portion of the Loan File required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 2.06(b) on the applicable Transfer Date and shall deliver to the
Originator, the Trust Depositor, each Hedge Counterparty

57

 

and the Servicer a
certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L—1 on or prior to
such Transfer Date. Within two Business Days after the Indenture Trustee
receives the portion of the Loan File permitted to be delivered after the
applicable Transfer Date pursuant to Section 2.06(b), the Indenture
Trustee shall deliver to the Originator, the Trust Depositor, each Hedge
Counterparty and the Servicer a certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit L—1. Within 360 days after each Transfer Date (or, with respect
to any Substitute Loan, within 360 days after the assignment thereof), the
Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Originator, the Servicer, the Trust
Depositor, each Hedge Counterparty and any Noteholder who requests a copy from
the Indenture Trustee a final certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit L—2 evidencing the completeness of the Loan Files with respect
to the Loans being transferred on such Transfer Date.

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

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

     (d) Partial Release of Loan File and/or Collateral. Subject to
Section 5.08(b), if in connection with taking any action in connection
with a Loan (including, without limitation, the

58

 

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

     (e) Annual Certification. On the Remittance Date in June of each
year, commencing June 2005, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the
Originator, the Trust Depositor, each Hedge Counterparty and the Servicer a
certification detailing all transactions with respect to the Loans for which
the Indenture Trustee holds the Loan Files pursuant to this Agreement during
the prior calendar year. Such certification shall list all Loan Files which
were released by or returned to the Indenture Trustee during the prior calendar
year, the date of such release or return and the reason for such release or
return.

ARTICLE 3.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     The Trust Depositor makes, and upon execution of each Subsequent Purchase
Agreement is deemed to make, the following representations and warranties in
Section 3.01 through Section 3.05, on which the Issuer will rely
in purchasing the Loan Assets on the Closing Date (and on any Subsequent
Transfer Date), and on which the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties
will rely.

     Such representations and warranties are given as of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date (or Subsequent Transfer
Date, as applicable), but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of
the Loan Assets to the Issuer. The repurchase obligation or substitution
obligation of the Trust Depositor set forth in Section 11.01 constitutes
the sole remedy available for a breach of a representation or warranty of the
Trust Depositor set forth in Section 3.01 through Section 3.05 of
this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.04(d)(vii),
the Trust Depositor shall not be deemed to be remaking any of the
representations set forth in Section 3.03 on a Subsequent Transfer Date
with respect to the Substitute Loans, as such representations relate solely to
the composition of the Initial Loans conveyed on the Closing Date.

     Section 3.01 Representations and Warranties Regarding the Trust Depositor.

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

     (a) Organization and Good Standing. The Trust Depositor is a
limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of Delaware and

59

 

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

     (b) Authorization; Valid Sale; Binding Obligations. The Trust
Depositor has the power and authority to make, execute, deliver and perform
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and
all of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and to create the Issuer and
cause it to make, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and has
taken all necessary limited liability company action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party and to cause the Issuer to be created. This
Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement, if any, shall effect a valid
sale, transfer and assignment of or grant a security interest in the Loan
Assets from the Trust Depositor to the Issuer, enforceable against the Trust
Depositor and creditors of and purchasers from the Trust Depositor. This
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Trust Depositor is a
party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Trust Depositor
enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement of such terms
may be limited by applicable Insolvency Laws and general principles of equity,
whether considered in a suit at law or in equity.

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

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

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

60

 

the Trust Depositor or the Issuer or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents
to which the Trust Depositor is a party or (ii) seeking to adversely affect the
federal income tax or other federal, state or local tax attributes of the
Certificate or Notes.

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

     (g) Taxes. The Trust Depositor has filed or caused to be filed all
tax returns which, to its knowledge, are required to be filed and has put all
taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments made
against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges
imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than
any amount of tax due, the validity of which is currently being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been provided on
the books of the Trust Depositor); no tax Lien has been filed and, to the Trust
Depositor’s knowledge, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such
tax, fee or other charge.

     (h) Place of Business; No Changes. The Trust Depositor’s location
(within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC) is as set forth in Section
13.04. The Trust Depositor has not changed its name, whether by amendment
of its certificate of formation, by reorganization or otherwise, and has not
changed its location within the 4-months preceding the Closing Date.

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

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

     (k) Security Interest.

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

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

     (iii) the Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Loan
Assets free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens), claim or
encumbrance of any Person;

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

61

 

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

     (vi) other than the security interest granted to the Issuer pursuant
to this Agreement, the Trust Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold,
granted a security interest in or otherwise conveyed any of such Loan
Assets. The Trust Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is not
aware of any financing statements against the Trust Depositor that
include a description of collateral covering such Loan Assets other than
any financing statement (A) relating to the security interest granted to
the Trust Depositor under the Loan Sale Agreement, or (B) that has been
terminated. The Trust Depositor is not aware of the filing of any
judgment or tax Lien filings against the Trust Depositor;

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

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

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

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

     (m) Investment Company. The Issuer is not and, after giving effect
to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, will not be
required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the
1940 Act.

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

62

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

The representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01(k) may not
be waived by any Person and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

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

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

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

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

63

 

     (c) Loans Secured by Real Property. Less than 45% of the Aggregate
Outstanding Loan Balance of the Loan Pool as of the Initial Cut—Off Date
consists of Loans principally secured by real property, and the Trust Depositor
will not effectuate the transfer of a Substitute Loan if such transfer would
cause more than 45% of the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of the Loan Pool
as of any Subsequent Transfer Date to consist of Loans principally secured by
real property.

     (d) Underlying Custodial Agreements. With respect to each Pooled
Obligor Loan, the underlying loan documents and other collateral pledged by the
Underlying Debtors is held by an Underlying Custodian for the benefit of the
Originator and its assignees. The Originator’s rights under each such
Underlying Custodial Agreement are fully assignable and have been assigned by
it to the Trust Depositor, and assigned by the Trust Depositor to the Issuer in
connection with the transfer of the Loan Assets.

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

     The Trust Depositor represents and warrants, on the Closing Date, that as
of the Initial Cut—Off Date, the Initial Loans have the following additional
characteristics: (i) no Loan has a remaining maturity of more than 72 months;
(ii) the date of the final Scheduled Payment on the Loan with the latest
maturity is not later than May 31, 2010; (iii) no Loan was originated after the
Initial Cut—Off Date; and (iv) none of the Initial Loans provide for Scheduled
Payments of interest due on a basis other than monthly or quarterly.

     Section 3.04 Representations and Warranties Regarding the Loan Files.

     The Trust Depositor represents and warrants on the Closing Date with
respect to the Initial Loans (or as of the Subsequent Transfer Date, with
respect to Substitute Loans), that (i) to the extent any such Loans were
pledged under the CP Funding Transaction, the Citi Warehouse, the CP Funding
III Transaction or the CP Acquisition Transaction, immediately prior to such
date (as applicable), the Originator and/or a collateral custodian under the CP
Funding Transaction, the Citi Warehouse, the CP Funding III Transaction or the
CP Acquisition Transaction had possession of each original Underlying Note
(except in the case of Noteless Loans) and the related complete Loan File, and
there were no other custodial agreements relating to the same in effect and
(ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.06, the complete Loan
File for each Loan is in the possession of the Indenture Trustee.

     Section 3.05 Representations and Warranties Regarding Concentrations of Initial Loans.

     The Trust Depositor represents and warrants on the Closing Date, as to the
composition of the Initial Loans in the Loan Pool as of the Initial Cut—Off
Date, that:

     (a) the sum of the Outstanding Loan Balances of Obligors that are in the
same industry (by NAICS Code) shall not exceed 18.70% of the Initial Aggregate
Outstanding Loan Balance;

64

 

     (b) the sum of the Outstanding Loan Balances of the ten (10) largest
Obligors shall not exceed 20.00% of the Initial Aggregate Outstanding Loan
Balance; and

     (c) the sum of the Outstanding Loan Balances of Obligors that have their
primary business in the same State of the United States shall not exceed 14.54%
of the Initial Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance.

     Section 3.06 Representations and Warranties Regarding the Servicer.

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

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

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

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

     (d) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party
by the Servicer will not violate any Requirements of Law applicable to the
Servicer, or conflict with, result in a default under or constitute a breach of
the Servicer’s organizational documents or any Contractual Obligations to

65

 

which
the Servicer is a party or by which the Servicer or any of the Servicer’s
properties may be bound, or result in the creation of or imposition of any Lien
of any kind upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such
Contractual Obligations, other than as contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.

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

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

organized, validly existing and in good standing under the federal laws of the
United States with all requisite power and authority to own its properties and
to conduct its business as presently conducted and to enter into and perform
its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

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

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

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

     (e) No Consent Required. No consent, approval, authorization,
order, registration, filing, qualification, license or permit of or with any

or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened, against it before any
Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (ii)
seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement or (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that might (in its
reasonable judgment) have a material adverse effect on the interests of the
Securityholders or the Hedge Counterparties.

ARTICLE 4.

PERFECTION OF TRANSFER AND

PROTECTION OF SECURITY INTERESTS

     Section 4.01 Custody of Loans.

     The contents of each Loan File shall be held in the custody of the
Indenture Trustee under the Indenture for the benefit of, and as agent for, the
Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties.

     Section 4.02 Filing.

     On or prior to the Closing Date, the Originator, Trust Depositor and
Servicer shall cause the UCC financing statement(s) referred to in Section
2.02(i) hereof to be filed, and from time to time the Servicer shall take
and cause to be taken such actions and execute such documents as are necessary
or desirable or as the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee (acting at the
direction of the Majority Noteholders or any Hedge Counterparty) may reasonably
request to perfect and protect the Indenture Trustee’s first priority perfected
security interest in the Loan Assets against all other Persons, including,
without limitation, the filing of financing statements, amendments thereto and
continuation statements, the execution of transfer instruments and the making
of notations on or taking possession of all records or documents of title.
Notwithstanding the obligations of the Originator, Trust Depositor and Servicer
set forth in the preceding sentence, the Originator, Trust Depositor and
Servicer hereby authorize the Owner
Trustee to prepare and file, at the expense of the Servicer, UCC financing
statements (including but not limited to renewal, continuation or in lieu
statements) and amendments or supplements thereto or other instruments as the
Owner Trustee may from time to time deem necessary or appropriate in order to
perfect and maintain the security interest granted hereunder in accordance with
the UCC.

     Section 4.03 Changes in Name, Corporate Structure or Location.

     (a) During the term of this Agreement, none of the Originator, the
Servicer, the Trust Depositor or the Issuer shall change its name, identity,
structure, existence, state of formation or

67

 

location without first giving at
least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
and each Hedge Counterparty.

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

     Section 4.04 Costs and Expenses.

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

     Section 4.05 Sale Treatment.

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

     Section 4.06 Separateness from Trust Depositor.

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

ARTICLE 5.

SERVICING OF LOANS

     Section 5.01 Appointment and Acceptance.

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

68

 

     Section 5.02 Duties of the Servicer.

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

     (b) Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of
this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and
a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise,
so long as this Agreement shall remain effective, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and primarily liable to the Indenture Trustee, for itself and on
behalf of the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties, for the servicing
and administering of the Loans in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the Credit and Collection Policy, without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the
same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone
were servicing and administering the Loans. For purposes of this Agreement,
the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Loans when any
Subservicer has received such payments. The Servicer shall be entitled to
enter into any agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer
by such Subservicer, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to
limit or modify such indemnification.

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

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

     (e) Modifications and Waivers Relating to Loans. So long as it is
consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer may waive,
modify or vary any term of any Loan if in

69

 

the Servicer’s determination such
waiver, modification or variance will not be materially adverse to the
interests of the Noteholders or the Hedge Counterparties; provided,
however, the Servicer may not:

     (i) amend, waive, modify or vary any Loan in any manner that would
extend the maturity date of such Loan beyond April 20, 2010;

     (ii) prior to the date on which the Outstanding Principal Balance of
the Class A-1 Notes has been reduced to zero, enter into any Specified
Amendment with respect to any Loan; or

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

provided, further, however, if any Loan is amended,
modified, waived or varied due to an Obligor’s inability to pay principal or
interest, then the Loan shall be treated as a Delinquent Loan as of the date
that is one day in case of Asset Based Revolvers or 60 days in the case of all
other Loans after such delinquent payment was first due if all delinquencies
have not been cured within that one day or 60 day period, as applicable.

     The Servicer may execute any amendments, waivers, modifications or
variances on behalf of the Issuer. The Servicer will provide the Rating
Agencies with a written summary of any such amendment, waiver, modification or
variance promptly after its execution and, promptly upon request by any Rating
Agency, a copy of any such waiver, modification or variance. Such summary
shall set forth a brief description of the reasons for, and the effect of, such
waiver, modification or variance, and shall indicate whether such waiver,
modification or variance constitutes a Specified Amendment. No costs incurred
by the Servicer or any Subservicer in respect of Servicing Advances shall for
the purposes of distributions to Noteholders or Hedge Counterparties be added
to the amount owing under the related Loan. Any fees and costs imposed in
connection therewith may be retained by the Servicer. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, so long as it is consistent with the Credit and
Collection Policy, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner
Trustee, each Securityholder and each Hedge Counterparty, all instruments of
amendment, waiver, satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release,
discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Loans
and with respect to any Collateral. Such authority shall include, but not
be limited to, the authority to substitute or release items of Collateral
consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy and sell participations or
assignments in Loans previously transferred to the Issuer. In connection with
any such sale, the Servicer shall deposit in the Principal and Interest
Account, pursuant to Section 7.03(b), all proceeds received upon such
sale. If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, on behalf
of the Issuer, shall furnish the Servicer, within five (5) Business Days of
receipt of the Servicer’s request, with any powers of attorney and other
documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement. Any such request to
the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, shall be accompanied by a
certification in the form of Exhibit L attached

70

 

hereto signed by a
Servicing Officer. In connection with any substitution of Collateral, the
Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee the items, and within the time
frame, set forth in Section 2.06, assuming that the date of substitution
is the relevant “Transfer Date.”

     (f) The Servicer, in servicing and administering the Loans, shall act in
good faith, exercise commercially reasonable judgment and reasonable care,
consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, employ or cause to be
employed procedures (including collection, foreclosure, Foreclosed Property and
Repossessed Collateral management procedures), prudent lending standards and
exercise a degree of skill and attention not less than that which it
customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering loans for its
own account and in a manner consistent with those policies and procedures as
are customarily used by reasonable and prudent servicers of national repute in
connection with servicing of assets of the nature and of the character of the
Loans, giving due consideration to the Noteholders’ and Hedge Counterparties’
reliance on the Servicer. The Servicer shall not permit an Obligor of a
Revolving Loan to receive an Overadvance thereunder for the purpose of making
payments of principal or interest (in whole or in part) due with respect to a
Term Loan, where any portion of such Revolving Loan or Term Loan, as
applicable, shall constitute a part of the Loan Assets hereunder or an asset of
any Prior Term Transaction.

     (g) Hedge Covenants.

     (i) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, if on any date
either:

     (A) the then current Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge
Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap transactions) hedging
the Fixed Rate Loans exceeds the then Outstanding Loan Balance of
the Fixed Rate Loans for the corresponding Due Period by more than
the Fixed Rate Permitted Excess Amount; or

     (B) the Aggregate Notional Amount for any future calculation
period of all Hedge Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap
transactions) hedging the Fixed Rate Loans exceeds the projected
Outstanding Loan Balance of the Fixed Rate Loans for the
corresponding Due Period by more than the Fixed Rate Permitted
Excess Amount;

then, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Determination Date
preceding the next Remittance Date, the Servicer will notify the Indenture
Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties
and the Rating Agencies of such event and with effect on such next Remittance
Date one or more of the Hedge Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap
transactions) hedging the Fixed Rate Loans will be reduced or amended in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Hedge Agreements so that the
Aggregate Notional Amount for each calculation period of the Hedge Transactions
hedging the Fixed Rate Loans will not exceed the Outstanding Loan Balance of
the Fixed Rate Loans at the end of the corresponding Due Period or as projected
to be outstanding at the end of the corresponding Due Period.

     (ii) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, if on any date
either:

71

 

     (A) the then current Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge
Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap transactions) hedging
the Floating Prime Rate Loans exceeds the then Outstanding Loan
Balance of the Floating Prime Rate Loans for the corresponding Due
Period by more than the Floating Prime Rate Permitted Excess
Amount; or

     (B) the Aggregate Notional Amount for any future calculation
period of all Hedge Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap
transactions) hedging the Floating Prime Rate Loans exceeds the
projected Outstanding Loan Balance of the Floating Prime Rate Loans
for the corresponding Due Period by more than the Floating Prime
Rate Permitted Excess Amount;

then, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Determination Date
preceding the next Remittance Date, the Servicer will notify the Indenture
Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties and the Rating Agencies of such event and
with effect on such next Remittance Date one or more of the Hedge Transactions
hedging the Floating Prime Rate Loans will be reduced or amended in accordance
with the terms of the applicable Hedge Agreements so that the Aggregate
Notional Amount of the Hedge Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap
transactions) hedging the Floating Prime Rate Loans will not exceed the
Outstanding Loan Balance of the Floating Prime Rate Loans at the end of the
corresponding Due Period or as projected to be outstanding at the end of the
corresponding Due Period.

     (iii) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, if on any date
either:

     (A) the then current Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge
Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap transactions) under
all Hedge Agreements then in effect exceeds the then Aggregate
Outstanding Principal Balance; or

     (B) the Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge Transactions
(excluding any interest rate cap transactions) for any future
calculation period under all Hedge Agreements then in effect
exceeds the projected Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance for
the corresponding Interest Accrual Period;

then, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Determination Date
preceding the next Remittance Date, the Servicer will notify the Indenture
Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties and the Rating Agencies of such event and
with effect on such next Remittance Date one or more of the Hedge Transactions
(excluding any interest rate cap transactions) will be reduced or
amended in accordance with the terms of the applicable Hedge Agreements so that
the Aggregate Notional Amount of the Hedge Transactions for any future
calculation period will not exceed the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance
of the Notes for the corresponding Interest Accrual Period.

     (h) In accordance with the power set forth in Section 2.01(a), the
Servicer shall perform the duties of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee under the
Transaction Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Servicer shall
consult with the Owner Trustee as the Servicer deems appropriate regarding the
duties of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee under the Transaction Documents.
The Servicer shall monitor the performance of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee
and shall advise the Owner Trustee when action is necessary to comply with the
Issuer’s or the Owner Trustee’s duties under the

72

 

Transaction Documents. The
Servicer shall prepare for execution by the Owner Trustee or the Issuer or
shall cause the preparation by other appropriate Persons of all such documents,
reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be the
duty of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to
the Transaction Documents.

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

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

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

     (l) The Servicer shall maintain appropriate books of account and records
relating to services performed under this Agreement, which books of account and
records shall be reasonably accessible for inspection by the Owner Trustee and
each Hedge Counterparty at any time during normal business hours.

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

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

73

 

Securities Act under
Rule 144A is and will be available for resales of such Notes conducted in
accordance with Rule 144A.

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

     (p) The Servicer shall be obligated to make the Servicing Advances (but
not Scheduled Payment Advances) incurred in the performance of its servicing
duties hereunder. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such
Servicing Advances from the Collections received from the Loan to which such
Servicing Advances relate pursuant to Section 5.10(d) and Section
7.03(h). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no
event shall the application of Servicing Advances or Scheduled Payment Advances
prevent a Loan from being or becoming a Delinquent Loan or Charged—Off Loan, as
applicable.

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

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

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

     Section 5.03 Liquidation of Loans.

     (a) In the event that any payment due under any Loan and not postponed
pursuant to Section 5.02 is not paid when the same becomes due and
payable, or in the event the Obligor fails to perform any other covenant or
obligation under the Loan, the Servicer in accordance with the Credit and
Collection Policy shall take such action as shall maximize the amount of
recovery thereon and it shall deem to be in the best interests of the
Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The Servicer, consistent with its
Credit and Collection Policy, may
accelerate all payments due thereunder to the extent permitted by the
Required Loan Documents and foreclose upon at a public or private sale or
otherwise comparably effect the ownership of Collateral relating to defaulted
Loans for which the related Loan is still outstanding and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.10 and shall act as sales
and processing agent for the Collateral that is repossessed. In connection
with such foreclosure or other conversion and any other liquidation action or
enforcement of remedies, the Servicer shall exercise collection and foreclosure
procedures with the same degree of care and skill in its exercise or use as it
would exercise with respect to its own affairs, in accordance with prudent
servicing standards, and in accordance with

74

 

the Credit and Collection Policy.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer may not sell any
such Collateral without first using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
bids to purchase such Collateral from at least three (3) Persons (other than
the Servicer or any of its Affiliates). The Servicer may sell the Collateral
to the highest bidder (if any bids are received) or the Servicer or an
Affiliate may purchase the Collateral for a price equal to the highest bid, but
in no event may the Servicer sell any Collateral for less than the then fair
market value of the Collateral. If no bids are received and the Servicer has
used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such bids, the Servicer or an
Affiliate may purchase the Collateral for a price equal to the then fair market
value of such Collateral. Any such sale of the Collateral is to be evidenced
by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to the
Indenture Trustee setting forth the Loan, the Collateral, the sale price of the
Collateral and certifying that such sale price is the fair market value of such
Collateral. In any case in which any such Collateral has suffered damage, the
Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any repair or toward the
repossession of such Collateral unless it reasonably determines that such
repair and/or repossession will increase the Liquidation Proceeds by an amount
greater than the amount of such expenses.

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

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

     Section 5.04 Fidelity Bond.

     The Servicer shall at all times maintain with a responsible company, and
at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond (the “Fidelity Bond”) in a
minimum aggregate amount equal to $2,000,000, and a maximum deductible of
$50,000, with coverage on all employees acting in any capacity requiring such
persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Loans or
the Collateral (“Servicer Employees”). The Fidelity Bond shall provide
coverage to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties
and the Securityholders, their respective officers and employees, against
losses resulting from forgery, theft, embezzlement or

75

 

fraud by such Servicer
Employees. The Fidelity Bond shall not relieve the Servicer from its duties or
indemnity obligations as set forth in this Sale and Servicing Agreement. Upon
the request of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, any Securityholder or
any Hedge Counterparty, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, such Securityholder or such Hedge
Counterparty a certified true copy of such Fidelity Bond.

     Section 5.05 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

     (a) The Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that each
Obligor maintains an Insurance Policy with respect to any tangible, personal
property Collateral (other than accounts receivable) in an amount at least
equal to the sum of the Outstanding Loan Balance of the related Eligible Loan
and shall ensure that each such Insurance Policy names the Servicer as loss
payee and as an insured thereunder and all of the Originator’s right, title and
interest therein is fully assigned to the Indenture Trustee. Additionally,
other than with respect to unsecured Loans and Loans in which the sole
collateral is the related Obligor’s accounts receivable, the Servicer will
require that each Obligor maintain property damage liability insurance during
the term of each Loan in amounts and against risks customarily insured against
by the Obligor on property owned by it. If an Obligor 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. In
connection with its activities as Servicer, the Servicer agrees to present, on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee, the Securityholders and the Hedge
Counterparties, 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 Collateral will insure against liability for
physical damage relating to such Collateral 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 Collateral, including any Insurance Policy with respect to
which it is named as loss payee and as an insured, and agrees that it has no
equitable, beneficial or other interest in the Insurance Polices and Insurance
Proceeds other than being named as loss payee and as an insured. The Servicer
acknowledges that with respect to the Insurance Policies and Insurance Proceeds
thereof that it is acting solely in the capacity as agent for the Indenture
Trustee.

     (b) Notwithstanding Section 5.05(a), in the case of each Material
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall comply with the Credit and Collection Policy
concerning the issuance and maintenance of fire and hazard insurance with
extended coverage customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is
located. If at origination of a Loan, to the best of the Servicer’s
knowledge after reasonable investigation, the related Mortgaged Property
is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has
been made available) consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, the
Servicer will require the related Obligor or other creditors to purchase a
flood insurance policy covering each piece of property that is material with a
generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not
less than the least of (i) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property
that is material, or (ii) the maximum amount of insurance available under the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Servicer shall also
maintain, to the extent such insurance is available, and required by the Credit
and

76

 

Collection Policy, on Foreclosed Property constituting real property that
is material, fire and hazard insurance in the amounts described above and
liability insurance.

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

     Section 5.06 Collection of Certain Loan Payments.

     (a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts, consistent with the Credit
and Collection Policy, to collect all payments required under the terms and
provisions of the Loans. Consistent with the foregoing and the Credit and
Collection Policy, the Servicer may in its discretion waive or permit to be
waived any fee or charge which the Servicer would be entitled to retain
hereunder as servicing compensation and extend the due date for payments due on
a Loan as provided in Section 5.02(e).

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

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

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

77

 

Trustee may reasonably determine that such
disclosure is consistent with their obligations hereunder.

     Section 5.08 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Collateral and Release of
Loan Files.

     (a) Upon the payment in full of any Loan, the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes or the deposit into the Principal and Interest Account of the
purchase price of any Loan acquired by the Trust Depositor, the Servicer or
another Person pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document,
the Servicer will immediately notify the Indenture Trustee by a certification
in the form of Exhibit M attached hereto (which certification shall
include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received
in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the
Principal and Interest Account pursuant to Section 7.03(b) have been or
will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it
of the Loan File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the
Indenture Trustee shall in accordance with Section 2.08(c) release,
within two (2) Business Days (if such request was received by 2:00 p.m. central
time), the related Loan File to the Servicer. Expenses incurred in connection
with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be payable by
the Servicer and shall not be chargeable to the Principal and Interest Account
or the Note Distribution Account provided; that the Servicer may collect
and retain such expenses from the underlying Obligor.

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

     (c) The Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer any
court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents provided to it
necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of Collateral or to
any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Obligor on the related
loan agreement (including any Underlying Note or other agreement securing
Collateral) or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other
remedies or rights provided by the related loan agreement (including any
Underlying Note or other agreement securing Collateral) or otherwise available
at law or in equity. Together with such documents or pleadings, the Servicer
shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee a certificate of a

78

 

Servicing Officer
requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Indenture
Trustee and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are
required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Indenture Trustee
will not invalidate or otherwise adversely affect the Lien of the agreement
securing Collateral, except for the termination of such a Lien upon completion
of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale. The Indenture Trustee shall, upon
receipt of a written request from a Servicing Officer, execute any document
provided to the Indenture Trustee by the Servicer or take any other action
requested in such request, that is, in the opinion of the Servicer as evidenced
by such request, required or appropriate by any state or other jurisdiction to
discharge the Lien securing Collateral upon the satisfaction thereof and the
Indenture Trustee will sign and post, but will not guarantee receipt of, any
such documents to the Servicer, or such other party as the Servicer may direct,
within five (5) Business Days of the Indenture Trustee’s receipt of such
certificate or documents. Such certificate or documents shall establish to the
Indenture Trustee’s satisfaction that the related Loan has been paid in full by
or on behalf of the Obligor (or subject to a deficiency claim against such
Obligor) and that such payment has been deposited in the Principal and Interest
Account.

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

     Section 5.09 Scheduled Payment Advances.

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

     Section 5.10 Title, Management and Disposition of Foreclosed
Property.

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

     (b) The Servicer, subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE 5,
shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each Foreclosed Property or other
Repossessed Collateral for the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties
solely for the purpose of its prudent and prompt disposition and sale. The
Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer,
manage, conserve, protect and operate the Foreclosed Property or other
Repossessed Collateral in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects
and operates other foreclosed

79

 

or repossessed property for its own account, and
in a similar manner to that of similar property in the same locality as the
Foreclosed Property or other Repossessed Collateral is managed. The Servicer
shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same) on such
terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the
Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties.

     (c) The Servicer shall cause to be deposited in the Principal and Interest
Account, no later than two (2) Business Days after the receipt thereof, all
revenues received with respect to the conservation and disposition of the
related Foreclosed Property or other Repossessed Collateral net of Servicing
Advances.

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

     Section 5.11 Servicing Compensation.

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

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

     Section 5.12 Assignment; Resignation.

     The Servicer shall not assign its rights and duties under this Agreement
(other than in connection with a subservicing arrangement) nor resign from the
obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer except (a) by mutual
consent of the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Majority Noteholders and
the Hedge Counterparties, (b) in connection with a merger, conversion or
consolidation permitted pursuant to Section 5.13 (in which case the
Person resulting from the merger, conversion or consolidation shall be the
successor of the Servicer), (c) in connection with an assignment permitted
pursuant to Section 5.13 (in which case the Assignee shall be the

80

 

successor of the Servicer), or (d) upon the Servicer’s determination that its
duties hereunder are no longer permissible under Requirements of Law or
administrative determination and such incapacity cannot be cured by the
Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer
shall be evidenced by a written Opinion of Counsel (who may be counsel for the
Servicer) to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee, which Opinion of
Counsel shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Indenture
Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor has
assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in accordance
with Section 8.03.

     Section 5.13 Merger or Consolidation of Servicer.

     (a) Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or
any Person resulting from such merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Servicer is a party, or any Person succeeding to substantially all of the
business of the Servicer, and who shall be an established commercial loan
servicing institution that on a consolidated basis has a net worth of at least
$50,000,000, shall be the Successor Servicer hereunder without execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary; provided,
however, no such merger, conversion or consolidation of the Servicer or
transfer of all or substantially all or the Servicer assets or business shall
be permitted hereunder unless the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with
respect thereto.

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

     Section 5.14 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.

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

     Section 5.15 The Backup Servicer.

     (a) The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Depositor hereby
appoint Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to act as Backup Servicer in

Association hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties
and responsibilities with respect thereto set forth herein.

     (b) The Backup Servicer shall perform the following duties and
obligations:

pursuant to this Section 5.15(b)(ii), the Backup Servicer shall

     (iii) Prior to the Remittance Date, the Backup Servicer shall review

following items in such Monthly Report have been accurately calculated,
if applicable, and reported: (A) the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance,

Loans that are more than one day delinquent in the case of Asset
Based Revolvers and more than 60 days delinquent in the case of all other

Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty, the Initial Purchasers and the Servicer
of any discrepancies with the Monthly Report based on such review not
later than the Business Day preceding such Remittance Date.

     (iv) If the Servicer disagrees with the report provided under
paragraph (iii) above by the Backup Servicer or if the Servicer or
any subservicer has not reconciled such discrepancy, the Backup Servicer
agrees to confer with the Servicer to resolve such disagreement on or
prior to the next succeeding Determination Date and shall settle such
discrepancy with the Servicer if possible, and notify the Indenture
Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty, the Initial Purchasers and the Rating

cooperate at its own expense with the Backup Servicer in reconciling any
discrepancies herein. If within twenty (20) days after the delivery of

     (c) After the termination or resignation by the Servicer in accordance
with this Agreement, all authority, power, rights and responsibilities of the
Servicer, under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Loans or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer or the Backup Servicer,
as applicable in accordance with Section 8.03 and such applicable party
shall be deemed the Successor Servicer, subject to and in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.03, as long as such named Successor Servicer is
not prohibited by any Requirements of Law from fulfilling the same, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel; provided, however, if Wells
Fargo as Backup Servicer becomes the Successor Servicer, it will not make any
Scheduled Payment Advances.

     (d) Any Person (i) into which the Backup Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which
the Backup Servicer shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the
properties and assets of the Backup Servicer substantially as a whole, which
Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to
perform every obligation of the Backup Servicer hereunder, shall be the
successor to the Backup Servicer under this Agreement without further act on
the part of any of the parties to this Agreement.

     (e) As compensation for its backup servicing activities hereunder, the
Backup Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Backup Servicing Fee from the
Servicer. The Backup Servicing Fee shall be calculated and payable monthly in
arrears on each Remittance Date. The Backup Servicer’s entitlement to receive
the Backup Servicing Fee (other than due and unpaid Backup Servicer Fees owed
through such date) shall cease on the earliest to occur of: (i) it becoming
the Successor Servicer, (ii) its removal as Backup Servicer, or (iii) the

Majority Noteholders.

     (g) The Backup Servicer undertakes to perform only such duties and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, it being expressly
understood by all parties hereto that there are no implied duties or
obligations of the Backup Servicer hereunder. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Backup Servicer, except as expressly set forth herein,
shall have no obligation to supervise, verify, monitor or administer the
performance of the Servicer. The Backup Servicer may act through its agents,
attorneys and custodians in performing any of its duties and obligations under
this Agreement, it being understood by the parties hereto that the Backup
Servicer will be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on

83

 

the part of
such agents, attorneys or custodians acting for and on behalf of the Backup
Servicer. Neither the Backup Servicer nor any of its officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be liable, directly or indirectly, for any damages or
expenses arising out of the services performed under this Agreement other than
damages or expenses that result from the negligence or willful misconduct of it
or them or the failure to perform materially in accordance with this Agreement.

     (h) Limitation on Liability. The Backup Servicer shall not be
liable for any obligation of the Servicer contained in this Agreement or for
any errors of the Servicer contained in any Tape, certificate or other data or
document delivered to the Backup Servicer hereunder or on which the Backup
Servicer must rely in order to perform its obligations hereunder, and the
parties hereto each agree to look only to the Servicer to perform such
obligations. The Backup Servicer shall have no responsibility and shall not be
in default hereunder or incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction
or any delay in carrying out any of its respective duties under this Agreement
if such failure or delay results from the Backup Servicer acting in accordance
with information prepared or supplied by a Person other than the Backup
Servicer or the failure of any such other Person to prepare or provide such
information. The Backup Servicer shall have no responsibility, shall not be in
default and shall incur no liability for (i) any act or failure to act of any
third party, including the Servicer (other than any agent, attorney or
custodian acting on behalf of the Backup Servicer), (ii) any inaccuracy or
omission in a notice or communication received by the Backup Servicer from any
third party (other than any agent, attorney or custodian acting on behalf of
the Backup Servicer), (iii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Loan
under Requirements of Law, (iv) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation
or warranty made with respect to any Loan, or (v) the acts or omissions of any
Successor Backup Servicer.

ARTICLE 7.

ESTABLISHMENT OF ACCOUNTS;

DISTRIBUTIONS; RESERVE FUND

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

     (a) On or before the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish the Note
Distribution Account and the Reserve Fund with and in the name of the Indenture
Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties.
The Servicer and Indenture Trustee are hereby required to ensure that each of
the Note Distribution Account and Reserve Fund is established and maintained as
an Eligible Deposit Account with a Qualified Institution. If any institution
with which any of the accounts established pursuant to this Section
7.01(a) are established ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Servicer,
or if the Servicer fails to do so, the Indenture Trustee (as the case may be)
shall within ten (10) Business Days establish a replacement account at a
Qualified Institution after notice of such event. In no event shall the
Indenture Trustee be responsible for monitoring whether such Eligible
Institution shall remain a Qualified Institution. Each Qualified Institution
maintaining an Eligible Deposit Account shall agree in writing to comply with
all instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee or, with respect to the
Principal and Interest Account only, the Servicer directing disposition of the
funds in the Eligible Deposit Account without the further consent of the Trust
Depositor.

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

90

 

Depositor, the Indenture Trustee shall invest amounts in the Note
Distribution Account and Reserve Fund Account in Permitted Investments of the
type specified in clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments
herein.

     (c) The Servicer and the Originator have established, or caused to be
established, and will maintain, or caused to be maintained, various Obligor
Lock—Boxes and Obligor Lock—Box Accounts, for the deposit of the amounts
representing payments sent by Obligors with respect to certain Revolving Loans.
The Servicer and the Originator have established, or caused to be established,
and will maintain, or caused to be maintained, the Lock—Box and the Lock—Box
Account, for the deposit of the amounts representing payments sent by Obligors
and Obligor Lock—Box Banks, as applicable, with respect to Loans pledged to the
Indenture Trustee as well as with respect to loans not pledged to the Indenture
Trustee. The Servicer, as agent for the Issuer, and the Originator will cause
each Obligor Lock—Box Bank to deposit within two (2) Business Days of receipt
all Collections that have been sent to such Obligor Lock—Box Bank into the Lock
Box Account, and within two (2) Business Days of the deposit into the Lock—Box
or the Lock Box Account, the Servicer and the Originator will cause the
Lock—Box Bank to cause the amounts in the Lock Box Account to be deposited into
the Principal and Interest Account.

     Section 7.02 Reserve Fund Deposit.

     On the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, shall
deposit the Reserve Fund Initial Balance into the Reserve Fund from the net
proceeds of the sale of the Securities.

     Section 7.03 Principal and Interest Account.

     (a) The Servicer shall cause to be established and maintained one or more
Principal and Interest Accounts (including for each such account two
subaccounts, one designated as the Interest Collection Account and the other
designated as the Principal Collection Account), in one or more Eligible
Deposit Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, which may be
interest—bearing or such accounts may be trust accounts wherein the moneys
therein are
invested in Permitted Investments, titled “CapitalSource Finance LLC, as
Servicer, in trust for the Hedge Counterparties and the registered holders of
CapitalSource Commercial Loan Trust Notes, Series 2004-1 Class A-1, Class A-2,
Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Notes.” All funds in such Principal and
Interest Accounts not so invested shall be insured to the extent and the amount
permitted by the BIF or SAIF of the FDIC to the maximum extent provided by law.
The creation of any Principal and Interest Account shall be evidenced by a
letter agreement in the form of Exhibit E hereto. A copy of such letter
agreement shall be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and,
upon request, any Securityholder or Hedge Counterparty. The Servicer may, upon
written notice to the Indenture Trustee, transfer any Principal and Interest
Account to a different Eligible Deposit Account.

     (b) The Servicer and each Subservicer shall deposit without duplication
(within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof) in the applicable Principal
and Interest Account and retain therein the following amounts received by the
Servicer (and shall segregate and deposit Interest Collections into the
Interest Collections Account and Principal Collections into the Principal
Collection Account):

91

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     (f) The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Principal and Interest
Accounts shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the

92

 

foregoing, payments with respect to the
Servicing Fee, together with the Liquidation Expenses, may not be deposited by
the Servicer in the Principal and Interest Account.

     (g) So long as no Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
and consistent with any requirements of the Code, the Principal and Interest
Accounts shall either be maintained with an Eligible Deposit Account as an
interest—bearing account meeting the requirements set forth in Section
7.03(a), or the funds held therein may be invested by the Servicer (to the
extent practicable) in Permitted Investments, as directed in writing by the
Servicer, and, in each case, with a stated maturity (giving effect to any
applicable grace period) no later than the fourth Business Day immediately
preceding the Remittance Date next following the Due Period in which the date
of investment occurs; provided, however, that Permitted
Investments shall not include any interest-only security, any security
purchased at a price in excess of 100% of par or any security whose repayment
is subject to substantial non-credit related risk as determined by the
Servicer. All Permitted Investments must be held by or registered in the name
of “CapitalSource, as Servicer, in trust for the Hedge Counterparties and the
registered holders of CapitalSource Commercial Loan Trust Notes, Series
2004-1.” Any Investment Interest Earnings on funds held in the Principal and
Interest Account shall be deemed part of the Interest Collection Account and
shall be deposited therein pursuant to Section 7.03 and distributed on
the next Remittance Date pursuant to Section 7.05. The amount of any
losses incurred in connection with the investment of funds in the Principal and
Interest Account in Permitted Investments shall be deposited in the Principal
and Interest Account by the Servicer from its own funds immediately as realized
without reimbursement therefor.

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

     (i) to remit to the Trust Depositor, in connection with the transfer
of a Substitute Loan to the Issuer in place of a Prepaid Loan, an amount
equal to the Prepaid Loan Amount;

     (ii) to remit to the Indenture Trustee on each Determination Date
immediately preceding a Remittance Date, for deposit in the Note
Distribution Account, the Interest Collections and Principal Collections
received during the immediately preceding Due Period less any amounts
remitted to the Trust Depositor pursuant to clause (i) above prior
to such Determination Date;

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

     (iv) to withdraw any amount received from an Obligor that is
recoverable and sought to be recovered as a voidable preference by a
trustee in bankruptcy pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code in
accordance with a final, nonappealable order of a court having competent
jurisdiction;

93

 

     (v) to make investments in Permitted Investments;

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

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

     (viii) prior to (A) a payment default on the related Loan (and in
the case of Asset Based Revolvers, a payment default shall mean any
failure to make a payment on the date such payment is due and such
failure continues for more than one calendar day), (B) a Servicer
Default, (C) an Event of Default, or (D) an Accelerated Amortization
Event, with respect to Revolving Loans secured by Collateral only, to
advance to an Obligor in a given Due Period prior to the Monthly
Reconciliation Date an amount not to exceed the Principal Collections
received from such Obligor during that Due Period;

     (ix) to purchase substitute Loans as contemplated by Section
2.04(a) to the extent funds have been deposited by the Originator for
such purpose pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(i)(B); and

     (x) to clear and terminate the Principal and Interest Account upon
the termination of the Agreement

     Section 7.04 Securityholder Distributions.

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

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

to remit any amounts available for payment on the Notes will, after the

     Section 7.06 Determination of LIBOR.

     (a) The Indenture Trustee will determine the interest rate for each
Interest Accrual Period by determining the London interbank offered rate
(“LIBOR”) for deposits in U.S. Dollars
for a period of 1-month (the “One—Month Index Maturity”) which
appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is
two (2) London Banking Days preceding that Interest Accrual Period (“LIBOR
Determination Date”). If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750
on the related LIBOR Determination Date, the rate for that Interest Accrual
Period will be determined as if the parties had specified “USD—LIBOR—Reference
Banks” as the applicable rate. “USD—LIBOR—Reference Banks” means that the
interest rate for an Interest Accrual Period will be determined on the basis of
the rates at which deposits in U.S. Dollars are offered by the Reference Banks
at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the related LIBOR Determination
Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for the 1—Month Index
Maturity commencing on the beginning of that Interest Accrual Period and in a
Representative Amount. The Indenture Trustee will request the principal London
office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If
at least two (2) such quotations are provided, the rate for that Interest
Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations.

100

 

If fewer than
two (2) quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that Interest
Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks
in New York City, selected by the Indenture Trustee, at 11:00 a.m. New York
City time, on the beginning of that Interest Accrual Period for loans in U.S.
Dollars to leading European banks for the 1—Month Index Maturity commencing at
the beginning of that Interest Accrual Period and in a Representative Amount.

     (b) The establishment of LIBOR on the applicable London Banking Day by the
Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee’s subsequent calculation of the
rates of interest applicable to the Notes for the related Remittance Date
shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding. Each such rate
of interest may be obtained by telephoning the Indenture Trustee at (612)
667—8058.

     Section 7.07 Monthly Reconciliation.

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

     (b) Prior to (i) a payment default on the related Loan (and in the case of
Asset Based Revolvers, a payment default shall mean any failure to make a
payment on the date such payment is due and such failure continues for more
than one calendar day), (ii) a Servicer Default, (iii) an Event of Default or
(iv) an Accelerated Amortization Event, on each Monthly Reconciliation Date,
the Servicer will determine the Outstanding Loan Balance and principal amount
of the portion of such Loan not owned by the Issuer (if any) with respect to
each Revolving Loan secured by Collateral (but specifically excluding any
Revolving Loan that is not secured by any Collateral) in the Loan Pool, and on
and as of such date will determine the net effect of the Principal Collections
received from, and payments from the Principal Collection Account representing
new advances made to, the related Obligor during such Due Period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer will maintain the underlying data
of all Principal Collections received and payments or advances made with
respect to any Revolving Loan secured by Collateral from the Principal
Collection Account on each day during each Due
Period, and shall make such underlying data available pursuant to and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9.03.

ARTICLE 8.

SERVICER DEFAULT; SERVICER TRANSFER

     Section 8.01 Servicer Default.

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

     (a) any failure by the Servicer to remit when due any payment required to
be made under the terms of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents,
it being understood that the Servicer shall not be responsible for the failure
of either the Owner Trustee or the Indenture

101

 

Trustee to remit funds that were
received by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee from the Servicer in
accordance with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; or

     (b) failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform, in any material
respect, any other covenants, obligations or agreements of the Servicer set
forth in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or any
representation or warranty of the Servicer made in this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents or in any certificate or other writing delivered thereto
or in connection therewith proves to have been incorrect when made, which
failure or breach has a material adverse effect on the rights of the
Noteholders or the Hedge Counterparties and continues unremedied for a period
of thirty (30) days (if such failure or breach can be cured, and, for the
avoidance of doubt, any breach of Section 5.02(e)(ii) shall be deemed
cured upon the substitution or repurchase of the applicable Loan) after the
first to occur of (i) the date on which written notice of such failure
requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to a Responsible
Officer of the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee, or a Responsible Officer of
the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee by any Securityholder or Hedge
Counterparty, and (ii) the date on which a Responsible Officer of the Servicer
receives actual knowledge of such failure or breach; or

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

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

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

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

     (g) failure by the Servicer to observe or perform the Credit and
Collection Policy regarding the servicing of the Loans in any manner that would
have a material adverse effect on the Loans.

     Section 8.02 Servicer Transfer.

     (a) If a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Majority
Noteholders may, by written notice (a “Termination Notice”) delivered to
the parties hereto and each of the Hedge Counterparties, terminate all (but not
less than all) of the Servicer’s management, administrative, servicing,
custodial and collection functions; provided, however, no
Termination

102

 

Notice shall be required with respect to any Servicer Default
described under Section 8.01(c), Section 8.01(d) and Section
8.01(e).

     (b) Upon delivery of the notice required by Section 8.02(a) (or, if
later, on a date designated therein), and on the date that a Successor Servicer
shall have been appointed pursuant to Section 8.03 (such appointment
being herein called a “Servicer Transfer”), all rights, benefits, fees,
indemnities, authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether
with respect to the Loans, the Loan Files or otherwise, shall pass to and be
vested in such successor (the “Successor Servicer”) pursuant to and
under this Section 8.02; and, without limitation, the Successor Servicer
is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Servicer,
as attorney—in—fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments,
and to do any and all acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the
purposes of such notice of termination. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and
rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer
to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts which
shall at the time be held by the Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited
by the Servicer, in the Principal and Interest Account, or for its own account
in connection with its services hereafter or thereafter received with respect
to the Loans. The Servicer shall transfer to the Successor Servicer (i) all
records held by the Servicer relating to the Loans in such electronic form as
the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and (ii) any Loan Files in the
Servicer’s possession. In addition, the Servicer shall permit access to its
premises (including all computer records and programs) to the Successor
Servicer or its designee, and shall pay the reasonable transition expenses of
the Successor Servicer. Upon a Servicer Transfer, the Successor Servicer shall
also be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee for performing the obligations of
the Servicer. Any indemnities provided in this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents in favor of the Servicer and any fees, costs, expenses,
Servicing Advances or Scheduled Payment Advances which have accrued and/or are
unpaid to the Servicer shall survive the resignation or termination of the
Servicer.

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

     (a) Upon delivery of the notice required by Section 8.02(a) (or, if
later, on a date designated therein), the Servicer shall continue to perform
all servicing functions under this
Agreement until the date specified in the Termination Notice or, if no
such date is specified, until a date mutually agreed by the Servicer and the
Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall as promptly as possible after
the giving of or receipt of a Termination Notice, appoint a Successor Servicer,
which shall be the Backup Servicer, in accordance with Section 5.15(c),
and named Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written
assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee;
provided, that no appointment of a Successor Servicer or acceptance and
assumption by a proposed Successor Servicer shall be effective without the
prior satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. If within 60 days of
delivery of a Termination Notice a Successor Servicer is not appointed and the
Servicer shall have yet to cure the Servicer Default, then the Indenture
Trustee shall offer the Trust Depositor, and the Trust Depositor shall offer
the Originator, the right to accept retransfer of all the Loan Assets, and such
parties may accept retransfer of such Loan Assets in consideration of the Trust
Depositor’s delivery to the Principal and Interest Account on or prior to the
next upcoming Remittance Date of a sum equal

103

 

to the Aggregate Outstanding
Principal Balance of all Securities (other than the Certificates) then
outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through such
date of deposit and all other amounts due and owing to any Person under the
Transaction Documents, including amounts owing to each Hedge Counterparty,
including Hedge Breakage Costs, it being a condition precedent to such
retransfer that all Hedge Transactions then outstanding under any Hedge
Agreements then in effect shall be terminated and all amounts payable to the
Hedge Counterparties, including Hedge Breakage Costs, upon such termination
shall be paid in full; provided, that, the Indenture Trustee, if
so directed by the Majority Noteholders in writing, need not accept and effect
such reconveyance in the absence of evidence (which may include valuations of
an investment bank or similar entity) reasonably acceptable to such Indenture
Trustee or Majority Noteholders that such retransfer would not constitute a
fraudulent conveyance of the Trust Depositor or the Originator.

     (b) The Backup Servicer may, in its discretion, or shall, if it is unable
to so act or if the Majority Noteholders request in writing to the Backup
Servicer, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint,
any established servicing institution having a net worth of not less than
$50,000,000 as the Successor Servicer in the assumption of all or any part of
the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer.

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

     (d) In the event the Backup Servicer is required to solicit bids, the
Backup Servicer shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from banks and
mortgage servicing institutions meeting the qualifications set forth above.
Such public announcement shall specify that the Successor Servicer shall be
entitled to the full amount of the Servicing Fee as servicing compensation,
together with the other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees,
late payment charges or otherwise that 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 the Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. Neither the Backup Servicer nor any other
Successor Servicer shall be held liable by reason of any failure to make, or
any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused
by (i) the failure of the Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering,
cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any
regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer hereunder. No
appointment of a successor to the Servicer shall be effective until written
notice

104

 

of such proposed appointment shall have been provided by the Indenture
Trustee to each Securityholder and each Hedge Counterparty and the Backup
Servicer shall have consented thereto. The Backup Servicer shall not resign as
Servicer until a Successor Servicer has been appointed and accepted such
appointment.

     (e) On or after a Servicer Transfer, the Successor Servicer shall be the
successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under
this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall
be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto
placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and the terminated
Servicer shall be relieved of such responsibilities, duties and liabilities
arising after such Servicer Transfer; provided, however, that (i)
the Successor Servicer will not assume any obligations of the Servicer
described in Section 8.02 and (ii) the Successor Servicer shall not be
liable for any acts or omissions of the Servicer occurring prior to such
Servicer Transfer or for any breach by the Servicer of any of its
representations and warranties contained herein or in any related document or
agreement. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event
shall the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer be liable for any Servicing
Fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder
and the amount necessary to induce any Successor Servicer to act as Successor
Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein, including any Additional Servicing Fee. The Owner Trustee,
Securityholders and the Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such succession. To the extent the terminated Servicer has made Servicing
Advances, it shall be entitled to reimbursement of the same notwithstanding its
termination hereunder, to the same extent as if it had continued to service the
Loans hereunder.

     Section 8.04 Notification to Securityholders and Hedge
Counterparties.

     (a) Promptly following the occurrence of any Servicer Default, the
Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the Trustees, the Trust Depositor
and each Rating Agency at the addresses described in Section 13.04
hereof, to the Noteholders and Certificateholder at their respective addresses
appearing on the Note Register and the Certificate Register, respectively, and
to each Hedge Counterparty at the address set forth in the register kept by the
Issuer, as provided under the Indenture.

     (b) Within 10 days following any termination of the Servicer or
appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant to this ARTICLE 8, the
Indenture Trustee shall give written notice thereof to each Rating Agency and
the Trust Depositor at the addresses described in Section 13.04 hereof,
to the Noteholders and Certificateholder at their respective addresses
appearing on the Note Register and the Certificate Register, respectively, and
to each Hedge Counterparty at the address set forth for such party in the
register kept by the Issuer, as provided under the Indenture.

     Section 8.05 Effect of Transfer.

     (a) After a Servicer Transfer, the terminated Servicer shall have no
further obligations with respect to the management, administration, servicing,
custody or collection of the Loans and the Successor Servicer appointed
pursuant to Section 8.03 shall have all of such

105

 

obligations, except that
the terminated Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to
the Successor Servicer for its own account, promptly on receipt and in the same
form in which received, any amounts (properly endorsed where required for the
Successor Servicer to collect them) received as payments upon or otherwise in
connection with the Loans.

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

     Section 8.06 Database File.

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

     Section 8.07 Waiver of Defaults.

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

     Section 8.08 Responsibilities of the Successor Servicer.

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

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

106

 

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

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

     Section 8.09 Rating Agency Condition for Servicer Transfer.

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

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

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

     (b) In the event that a Successor Backup Servicer has not been appointed
and has not accepted its appointment at the time when the then Backup Servicer
has ceased to act as Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial
institution having a net worth of at least $50,000,000 and whose regular
business includes the backup servicing of loans similar to the Loans as the
Successor Backup Servicer hereunder and the Successor Backup Servicer shall be
the successor in all respects to the Backup Servicer in its capacity as Backup
Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
relating thereto placed on the Backup Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof, and the terminated Backup Servicer shall be relieved of such
responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising after such backup servicer
transfer (the “Backup Servicer Transfer”); provided,
however,

107

 

that the Successor Backup Servicer shall not be liable for any
acts or omissions of the Backup Servicer occurring prior to such Backup
Servicer Transfer or for any breach by the Backup Servicer of any of its
representations and warranties contained herein or in any related document or
agreement. As compensation therefor, the Successor Backup Servicer shall be
entitled to receive reasonable compensation equal to the monthly Backup
Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no
event shall the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer be liable for any Backup
Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the backup servicing fee
paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any Successor Backup Servicer
to act as Backup Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth
or provided for herein. The Owner Trustee, Securityholders and the Indenture
Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

ARTICLE 9.

     With respect to each Remittance Date and the related Due Period, the
Servicer will provide to each Trustee, the Backup Servicer, each Rating Agency,

Exhibit H hereto with respect to the preceding Due Period.

     Section 9.02 Officer’s Certificate.

     Each Monthly Report delivered pursuant to Section 9.01 shall be
accompanied by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer

     Section 9.03 Other Data; Obligor Financial Information.

     (a) The Servicer shall, upon the request of any Trustees, any Hedge
Counterparty, the Backup Servicer, or any Rating Agency, furnish such Trustee,

such underlying data used to generate a Monthly Report as may be reasonably

     (b) The Servicer will forward to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee,

     Section 9.04 Annual Report of Accountants.

     The Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized independent
certified public accountants (the “Independent Accountants”), who may
also render other services to the Servicer or its Affiliates, to deliver to the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty, the Backup
Servicer and each Rating Agency, on or before March 31 of each year, beginning
on March 31, 2005, a report addressed to the Board of Managers of the Servicer,
the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee indicating that (a) with respect to
the 12-months ended the immediately preceding December 31, to the effect that
such Independent Accountants have audited the financial statements of the
Servicer, that as part of that audit, nothing came to the attention of such
Independent Accountants that causes them to believe that the Servicer was not
in compliance with any of the terms, covenants, provisions or conditions
of the relevant sections of this Agreement, insofar as they relate to
accounting matters, except for such exceptions as such Independent Accountants
shall believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth
in such report, (b) in connection with the Independent Accountants’ audit of
the Servicer, there were no exceptions or errors in records related to Loans
serviced by the Servicer, except for such exceptions as such Independent
Accountants shall believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall
be set forth in such report, (c) the payment testing for Asset Based Revolvers
has been reviewed and such testing is in compliance with the terms of the
related Required Loan Documents and (d) the Independent Accountants have
performed certain procedures as agreed by the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee
and the Owner Trustee, whereby the Independent Accountants will obtain the
Monthly Report for 4-months with respect to the 12-months ended the immediately
preceding December 31 and, for each Monthly Report, the Independent Accountants
will agree all amounts in the Monthly Report to the Servicer’s computer,
accounting and other reports, which will include in such report any amounts
which were not in agreement. In the event such firm of Independent Accountants
requires the Indenture Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such
firm of Independent Accountants, the Servicer shall direct the Indenture
Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the
Indenture Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance
upon the direction of the Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee will not make any
independent inquiry or

109

 

investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or
liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such
procedures. The Independent Accountants’ report shall also indicate that the
firm is independent of the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of
Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

     Section 9.05 Annual Statement of Compliance from Servicer.

     The Servicer will deliver to the Trustees and each Hedge Counterparty
within 90 days of the end of each fiscal year commencing with the year ending
December 31, 2005, an Officer’s Certificate stating that (a) the Servicer has
fully complied in all material respects with certain provisions of the
Agreement relating to servicing of the Loans and payments on the Notes, (b) a
review of the activities of the Servicer during the prior calendar year and of
its performance under this Agreement was made under the supervision of the
officer signing such certificate and (c) to the best of such officer’s
knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fully performed or cause to
be performed in all material respects all its obligations under this Agreement
for such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment in all
material respects any of its obligations, specifying each such default known to
such officer and the nature and status thereof and the steps being taken or
necessary to be taken to remedy such event. A copy of such certificate may be
obtained by any Securityholder by a request in writing to the Indenture
Trustee, with respect to any Noteholder, or the Owner Trustee, with respect to
any Certificateholder.

     Section 9.06 Reports of Foreclosure and Abandonment of Mortgaged
Property.

     Each year the Servicer shall make the reports of foreclosures and
abandonment of any Mortgaged Property as and to the extent required by § 6050J
of the Code. Promptly after filing
any such report with the Code, the Servicer shall provide the Indenture
Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such report has been
filed.

     Section 9.07 Notices.

     (a) The Servicer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee and each Hedge
Counterparty (i) promptly, copies of any material and adverse notices
(including, without limitation, notices of defaults, breaches, potential
defaults or potential breaches) given to or received from its other lenders and
(ii) immediately, notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Servicer
Default or of any situation which the Servicer reasonably expects to develop
into an Event of Default or Servicer Default.

     (b) The Servicer also agrees to make available on a reasonable basis to
any Noteholder or Hedge Counterparty a knowledgeable financial or accounting
officer for the purpose of answering reasonable questions respecting recent
developments affecting the Servicer or the financial statements of the Servicer
and to permit any Noteholder or Hedge Counterparty upon reasonable advance
notice and subject to reasonable confidentiality restrictions to inspect the
Servicer’s servicing facilities during normal business hours and in a manner
that does not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal operations or
customer or employee relations for the purpose of satisfying such Noteholder or
Hedge Counterparty that the Servicer has the ability to service the Loans in
accordance with this Agreement.

110

 

     Section 9.08 Indenture Trustee’s Right to Examine Servicer Records and
Audit Operations.

     The Indenture Trustee and each Hedge Counterparty shall have the right
upon reasonable prior notice, during normal business hours, in a manner that
does not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal operations or
customer or employee relations, and as often as reasonably required, to examine
and audit any and all of the books, records or other information of the
Servicer, whether held by the Servicer or by another on behalf of the Servicer,
which may be relevant to the performance or observance by the Servicer of the
terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement. No amounts payable in
respect of the foregoing shall be paid from the Loan Assets.

ARTICLE 10.

TERMINATION

     Section 10.01 Optional Purchase of Loan Assets.

     (a) On the last day of any Due Period as of which the Aggregate
Outstanding Loan Balance shall be less than or equal to 10% of the Initial
Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance, the Servicer shall have the option to
purchase for the Redemption Price the Loan Assets, pursuant to the Indenture
and the other Transaction Documents. To exercise such option, the Servicer
shall deposit in the Note Distribution Account, on or prior to the Remittance
Date upon which such redemption is to occur, an amount equal to the Redemption
Price and shall comply with the requirements of Section 10.01 of the
Indenture.

     (b) Notice of any purchase pursuant to Section 10.01(a) shall be
given by the Servicer to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating
Agencies.

     (c) Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, the payment
in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes, the termination of all
Hedge Transactions then outstanding under all Hedge Agreements then in effect
and the payment in full of all amounts, including Hedge Breakage Costs, payable
to such Hedge Counterparties upon such terminations, the Certificateholders
will succeed to the rights of the Noteholders hereunder and the Owner Trustee
will succeed to the rights of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.

     Section 10.02 Termination.

     (a) This Agreement shall terminate upon notice to the Indenture Trustee of
the earlier of the following events: (i) the final payment on or the
disposition or other liquidation by the Issuer of the last Loan (including,
without limitation, in connection with a purchase by the Servicer of all
outstanding Loan Assets pursuant to Section 10.01) or the disposition of
all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any
Loan and the remittance of all funds due thereunder, or (ii) mutual written
consent of the Servicer, the Trust Depositor, Indenture Trustee, the
Originator, all Securityholders and all Hedge Counterparties.

     (b) Notice of any termination, specifying the Remittance Date upon which
the Issuer will terminate and that the Noteholders shall surrender their Notes

111

 

payment of the final distribution and cancellation

during the month of such final distribution before the Determination Date in
such month, specifying (i) the Remittance Date upon which final payment of the
Notes (or Redemption Price, as applicable) will be made upon presentation and
surrender of Notes at the office of the Indenture Trustee therein designated,
(ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date
otherwise applicable to such Remittance Date is not applicable, payments being

Indenture Trustee therein specified. The Servicer shall give such notice to
the Indenture Trustee and the Hedge Counterparties at the time such notice is
given to Noteholders.

REMEDIES UPON MISREPRESENTATION;

REPURCHASE OPTION

     Section 11.01 Repurchases of, or Substitution for, Loans for Breach of
Representations and Warranties.

     Upon a discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer or any
subservicer, a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee of a breach of a representation or warranty as set forth in Section
3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.03, Section 3.04 or
Section 3.05 or as made or deemed made in any Addition Notice or any
Subsequent Purchase Agreement relating to Substitute Loans that materially and
adversely affects the value of the Loans or the interests of the
Securityholders or the Hedge Counterparties therein or which materially and
adversely affects
the interests of the Securityholders or the Hedge Counterparties in the
related Loan in the case of a representation or warranty relating to a
particular Loan (notwithstanding that such representation or warranty was made
to the Originator’s or the Trust Depositor’s best knowledge) (an “Ineligible
Loan”), the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice
to the other parties and to each Hedge Counterparty; provided,
that, the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to inquire
or to investigate the breach of any of such representations or warranties.
Within thirty (30) days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of
notice of any breach of a representation or warranty, the Originator or Trust
Depositor shall (a) promptly cure such breach in all material respects, (b)
repurchase each such Ineligible Loan by depositing in the Principal and
Interest Account, within such thirty (30) day period, an amount equal to the
Transfer Deposit Amount, or (c) remove such Loan from the Issuer and effect a
substitution for such affected Loan with a Substitute Loan in accordance with
the substitution requirements set forth in Section 2.04, not later than
the date a repurchase of such affected Loan would be required hereunder;
provided, however, that with respect to a breach of a
representation or warranty relating to the Loans in the aggregate and not to
any particular Loan, the Originator may select Loans (without adverse
selection) to repurchase (or substitute for) such that had such Loans not been
included as part of the Loan Assets (and, in the case of a substitution, had
such Substitute Loan been included as part of the Loan Assets instead of the
selected Loan) there would have been no breach of such representation or
warranty.

112

 

     Section 11.02 Reassignment of Repurchased or Substituted Loans.

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

assume (with the consent of the indemnified party) the defense and any

Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity), the Owner Trustee (as such
and in its individual capacity), the Hedge Counterparties (as such and in their
individual capacities) and each Securityholder harmless from and against any
and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees
and related costs, judgments, and any other reasonable costs, fees and expenses

defense and any settlement of any such claim and pay

     Section 13.05 Severability of Provisions.

     If one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this

     Section 13.07 Counterparts.

     This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature and in several

together constitute but one and the same instrument.

     Section 13.08 Headings.

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

     Section 13.09 No Bankruptcy Petition; Disclaimer.

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

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

     (c) To the extent that notwithstanding the agreements contained in this
Section 13.09, the Issuer, any Securityholder or any Hedge Counterparty,
either (i) asserts an interest in or claim to, or benefit from any Other
Assets, whether asserted against or through the Trust Depositor or any other
Person owned by the Trust Depositor, or (ii) is deemed to have any interest,
claim or benefit in or from any Other Assets, whether by operation of law,
legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of Insolvency Laws or
otherwise (including without limitation pursuant to Section 1111(b) of the
federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended) and whether deemed asserted against or
through the Trust Depositor or any other Person owned by the Trust Depositor,
then the Issuer, each Securityholder by accepting a Note or Certificate and
each Hedge Counterparty further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest,
claim or benefit in or from the Other Assets is and shall be expressly
subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and
liabilities of the Trust Depositor that, under the terms of the documents
relating to the securitization of the Other Assets, are entitled to be paid
from, entitled to the
benefits of, or

119

 

otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any
such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise
entitled to a priority of distribution under applicable law, including
Insolvency Laws, and whether asserted against the Trust Depositor or any other
Person owned by the Trust Depositor) including, without limitation, the payment
of post—petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This
subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the
meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each of the Issuer, the
Hedge Counterparties and the Securityholders is deemed to have acknowledged and
agreed that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section
13.09 and that the terms and provisions of this Section 13.09 may be
enforced by an action for specific performance.

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

Holder, the Issuer will be treated as a division of such Holder.

     Section 13.12 Prohibited Transactions with Respect to the Issuer.

     The Originator shall not:

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

120

 

     Section 13.13 Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee.

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

     Section 13.14 Allocation of Payments with Respect to Loans.

     (a) With respect to any Partially Funded Term Loans and any Revolving
Loans, the Issuer will own only the principal portion of such Loans outstanding
as of the applicable Cut—Off Date. Principal Collections received by the
Servicer on any Revolving Loans (other than Loans to SPE Obligors) will be
allocated first to the portion of such Loan not owned by the Issuer, until the
principal amount of such portion is reduced to zero, and then to the portion
owned by the Issuer; provided, however, if (i) a payment default
occurs with respect to any of the related Loans (and in the case of Asset Based
Revolvers, a payment default shall mean any failure to make a payment on the
date such payment is due and such failure continues for more than one calendar
day), (ii) the Originator has determined in its sole discretion that an
Obligor’s credit has deteriorated or the Originator has determined in its sole
discretion to reduce its commitment to an Obligor, (iii) an Event of Default
occurs, (iv) a Servicer Default occurs, or (v) an Accelerated Amortization
Event occurs, then Principal Collections received on (A) the applicable Loan
(in the case of clause (i) or (ii) above) or (B) all the
Revolving Loans (in the case of clauses (iii), (iv) and (v)
above) will be allocated between the portion not owned by the Issuer and the
portion owned by the Issuer pro rata based upon the outstanding principal
amount of each such portion. So long as there is no (1) payment default on the
related Loans (and in the case of Asset Based Revolvers, a payment default
shall mean any failure to make a payment on the date such payment is due and
such failure continues for more than one calendar day), (2) Servicer Default,
(3) Event of Default, or (4) Accelerated Amortization Event, the Servicer will
determine the Outstanding Loan Balance, the Retained Interest (if any) and the
Principal Collections received with respect to any Revolving Loan secured by
Collateral on each Monthly Reconciliation Date, and all other Loans (including
Revolving Loans not secured by any Collateral) and in all other cases on
each Business Day, pursuant to Section 7.07.

121

 

     (b) With respect to any Revolving Loan (other than Loans to SPE Obligors),
Interest Collections received by the Servicer on those Loans will be allocated
between the portion not owned by the Issuer and the portion owned by the Issuer
on a pro rata basis according to the outstanding principal amount of each such
portion.

     (c) With respect to any Fully Funded Term Loans, Partially Funded Term
Loans and Loans to SPE Obligors, Collections received by the Servicer will be
allocated between the portion not owned by the Issuer (if any) and the portion
owned by the Issuer on a pro rata basis according to the outstanding principal
amount of such portion.

     Section 13.15 No Partnership.

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

     Section 13.16 Successors and Assigns.

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

     Section 13.17 Acts of Holders.

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

     Section 13.18 Duration of Agreement.

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

     Section 13.19 Limited Recourse.

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

122

 

     Section 13.20 Confidentiality.

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

     Section 13.21 Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment.

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