 Section 1.7. Currencies Generally; Special Provisions Relating to Euro. 
 (a) Currencies Generally. At any time, any reference in the definition of the term “Alternative Currency” or in any other provision of
this Agreement to the Currency of any particular nation means the lawful currency of such nation at such time whether or not the name of such Currency is the same as it was on the date hereof. For purposes of determining (i) whether the amount
of any Advance, together with all other Advances, Swingline Advances and Alternative Currency Swingline Advances then outstanding or to be borrowed at the same time as such Advance, would exceed the Facility Amount, (ii) whether any
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Advance, together with its Pro Rata Share of all other Advances, Swingline Advances and Alternative Currency Swingline Advances then outstanding or to be borrowed at the same time as such Advance, would exceed the
amount of such Lender’s Commitment, and (iii) whether Advances Outstanding are required to be prepaid, the outstanding principal amount of any Advance or Alternative Currency Swingline Advance that is denominated in any Foreign Currency
shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of such amount of Foreign Currency determined as of the date of such Advance or Alternative Currency Swingline Advance. Wherever in this Agreement in connection with an Advance or Alternative Currency
Swingline Advance an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Advance or Alternative Currency Swingline Advance is denominated in a Foreign Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Foreign Currency
Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest 1,000 units of such Foreign Currency). In addition, for purposes of (A) complying with any requirement of this Agreement stated in Dollars and (B) calculating any ratio or other test
set forth in this Agreement, the amount of any Loan that is denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of such amount of Foreign Currency determined as of the date of such calculation. Without limitation, the
following defined 

  

 47 

 
terms used in this Agreement (together with any defined terms in which such defined terms are used) may require amounts denominated in a Foreign Currency to
be calculated as the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts: “Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance”, “Alternative Currency Sub-Limit”, “Borrowing Base”, “Concentration Limits”, “Fair Market Value”,
“Hedge Percentage”, “Interest Collections”, “Outstanding Loan Balance”, “Permitted Investments”, “Portfolio Outstanding Loan Balance”, “Principal Collections”, “Scheduled Payment”
and “Servicing Fee”. 
 (b) Special Provisions Relating to Euro. Each obligation hereunder of any party hereto that is
denominated in the National Currency of a state that is not a Participating Member State on the date hereof shall, effective from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State, be redenominated in Euro in accordance with the
legislation of the European Union applicable to the European Monetary Union; provided that, if and to the extent that any such legislation provides that any such obligation of any such party payable within such Participating Member
State by crediting an account of the creditor can be paid by the debtor either in Euro or such National Currency, such party shall be entitled to pay or repay such amount either in Euro or in such National Currency. If the basis of accrual of
interest or fees expressed in this Agreement with respect to an Alternative Currency of any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the date on which such currency becomes an Alternative Currency shall be inconsistent with any
convention or practice in the interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest or fees in respect of the Euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and from the date on which such state becomes a
Participating Member State; provided that, with respect to any Advance denominated in such currency that is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect at the end of the Accrual Period therefor.

 Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders and the Lenders to the Borrower under or pursuant to this
Agreement, each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Deal Agent may from time to time, in consultation with the Borrower, reasonably specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the
introduction or changeover to the Euro in any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the date hereof; provided that the Deal Agent shall provide the Borrower and each Lender Agent with prior notice of the proposed
change with an explanation of such change in sufficient time to permit the Borrower and the Lenders an opportunity to respond to such proposed change.

interest in the “Collateral” under the Existing Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement). Interest shall accrue, and each Note shall be payable, as described herein. 
 (b) During the Revolving Period, the Borrower may, at its option, request the Conduit Lenders and the Institutional Lenders to make advances of funds
(each, an “Advance”), in Dollars or in any Alternative Currency under the Structured Notes, each such Funding Request to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto, in an aggregate amount up to the Availability and,
in the case of Advances in Alternative Currencies, up to the Alternative Currency Sub-Limit, in each case as of the date of the proposed Advance. Following the receipt of a Funding Request, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth,
during the Revolving Period, (x) the Conduit Lenders other than VFCC may at their option elect to fund such Advance and (y) VFCC and the Institutional Lenders (except to the extent an Advance has been funded by its related Conduit Lender,
if any) shall fund such Advance; provided, that any Institutional Lender which shares a Commitment collectively with a related Conduit Lender as set forth on Annex B shall not be obligated to make Advances in any Currency in which its
related Conduit is able to make Advances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender shall be obligated to provide the Deal Agent or the Borrower with aggregate funds in connection with an Advance that would exceed
(i) such Lender’s unused Commitment then in effect, (ii) in the case of Advances in Alternative Currencies, such Lender’s unused Alternative Currency Sub-Limit then in effect, (iii) the aggregate unused Commitments then in
effect, (iv) in the case of Advances in Alternative Currencies, the unused Alternative Currency Sub-Limit then in effect or (v) the Availability, in each case on the date such Advance is to be made. Each Advance made by a Lender hereunder
is subordinated to the interests of the Hedge Counterparties under Sections 2.9(a)(1)(i) and (b)(i) of this Agreement. Each Advance shall be made entirely in one Currency having one Interest Rate. The proceeds of each Advance shall be
used to fund Loans in the Currency of such Advance. 
 (c) (I) During the Revolving Period, the Borrower may, at its option, request the
Swingline Lender to make advances of funds in Dollars, on an expedited basis under the Swingline Note (each such request, a “Swingline Funding Request”), each such Swingline Funding Request to be substantially in the form of
Exhibit A-2-a hereto. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, during the Revolving Period, the Swingline Lender shall advance to the Borrower the amount requested under a Swingline Funding Request (each, a
“Swingline Advance”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to provide the Borrower with aggregate funds that would exceed (i) the Swingline Lender’s unused
Swingline Commitment then in effect, (ii) the aggregate unused Commitments then in effect or (iii) the Availability on the date such Swingline Advance is made. Each Swingline Advance made by the Swingline Lender hereunder is 

  

 49 

 
subordinated to the interests of the Hedge Counterparties under Sections 2.9(a)(1)(i) and (b)(i) of this Agreement. Each Swingline Advance
shall be made entirely in Dollars having one Interest Rate. The proceeds of each Swingline Advance shall be used to fund Loans in Dollars. 
 (II) During the Revolving Period, the Borrower may, at its option, request the Alternative Currency Swingline Lender to make advances of funds in English Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars or Euro, on an expedited basis under the Alternative
Currency Swingline Note (each such request, an “Alternative Swingline Currency Funding Request”), each such Alternative Currency Swingline Funding Request to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2-b hereto. Subject to
the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, during the Revolving Period, the Alternative Currency Swingline Lender shall advance to the Borrower the amount requested under an Alternative Currency Swingline Funding Request (each, an
“Alternative Currency Swingline Advance”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Alternative Currency Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to provide the Borrower with aggregate funds that would exceed
(i) the unused Alternative Currency Swingline Amount then in effect, (ii) the unused Alternative Currency Sub-Limit then in effect, (iii) the aggregate unused Commitments then in effect or (iv) the Availability on the date such
Alternative Currency Swingline Advance is made. Each Alternative Currency Swingline Advance made by the Alternative Currency Swingline Lender hereunder is subordinated to the interests of the Hedge Counterparties under Sections 2.9(a)(1)(i)
and (b)(i) of this Agreement. Each Alternative Currency Swingline Advance shall be made entirely in one Currency having one Interest Rate. The proceeds of each Alternative Currency Swingline Advance shall be used to fund Loans in the Currency
of such Alternative Currency Swingline Advance. 
 (d) The Borrower may, within 60 days but not less than 45 days prior to the (x) the
date on which each Liquidity Purchase Agreement is to expire in accordance with its terms, in the case of an extension of each Liquidity Purchase Agreement, (y) the Termination Date then in effect pursuant to clause (c) of the definition
thereof, in the case of an extension of the Termination Date or (z) the Commitment Termination Date then in effect, in the case of an extension of this Agreement, request by written notice to (i) each Lender Agent with respect to a Conduit
Lender for the applicable Liquidity Bank to extend the term of their Liquidity Purchase Agreement for an additional period of 364 days, (ii) each Lender Agent for each Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Alternative Currency Swingline Lender,
as applicable, to extend the date set forth in clause (c) of the definition of Termination Date for an additional period of 364 days and (iii) each Lender Agent for each Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Alternative Currency
Swingline Lender, as applicable, to extend the Commitment Termination Date for an additional period of 364 days. Each Lender Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Alternative Currency Swingline Lender, as applicable, will give prompt notice to the
related Liquidity Bank or Lender, as applicable, of its receipt of such request, and each Liquidity Bank and each Lender shall make a determination, each in its respective sole discretion, not less than 15 days prior to the expiration of the related
Liquidity Purchase Agreement or the Commitment Termination Date, as applicable, as to whether or not it will agree to the extension requested. The failure of a Lender or a Liquidity Bank to provide timely notice of its decision to the Borrower shall
be deemed to constitute a refusal by the applicable Lender or Liquidity Bank to extend the Commitment Termination Date or the term of such Liquidity Bank’s Liquidity Purchase Agreement, as applicable. The Borrower confirms that each Liquidity
Bank and each Lender, in their sole and absolute discretion, without regard to the value or performance of the Collateral or 

  

 50 

 
any other factor, may elect not to extend the term of such Liquidity Purchase Agreement, the date set forth in clause (c) of the definition of

request that (1) an existing Lender increase its Commitment in connection with a corresponding increase in the Facility Amount, (2) the Swingline Lender increase its Swingline Commitment, (3) the Alternative Currency Swingline Lender
increase the Alternative Currency Swingline Amount or, (4) with the written consent of the Deal Agent, add additional Persons as Lenders; provided, that: (i) if the addition of any Lender or the increase of any Lender’s
Commitment would cause the aggregate Commitments of the Conduit Lenders and the Institutional Lenders to exceed $1,500,000,000, such addition or increase may be effected only with the consent of the Deal Agent and each Lender Agent; (ii) a
proposed increase shall not increase the amount of the Alternative Currency Sub-Limit without the consent of the Deal Agent and each Lender Agent; (iii) the Commitment of any Lender, the Swingline Commitment of the Swingline Lender or the
Alternative Currency Swingline Amount of the Alternative Currency Swingline Lender may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Lender; (iv) if any Conduit Lender that is added as a new Lender is unable to make Advances in
Alternative Currencies, an Institutional Lender able to make Advances in Alternative Currencies simultaneously shall become a party to this Agreement; and (v) upon any such increase of an existing Lender’s Commitment, Swingline
Lender’s Swingline Commitment or Alternative Currency Swingline Lender’s Alternative Currency Swingline Amount or the addition of a new Lender, Annex B hereto shall be replaced with a revised Annex B reflecting the revised
Commitments, Swingline Commitment, Alternative Currency Swingline Amount and/or Lenders. Each new Lender and Lender Agent shall become a party hereto by executing and delivering to the Deal Agent and the Borrower a Joinder Supplement. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the parties hereto hereby understands and agrees that: 
 (i) any outstanding “Advances” (under and as defined in the Existing Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement) of any Lender that
exist as of the Closing Date hereof shall, subject to the remainder of this Section 2.1(f), be deemed to be Advances outstanding for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents;

 provided, that, in the event that a Funding Request is delivered to
any Institutional Lender later than 11:00 a.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) with respect to Advances denominated in Dollars three Business Days prior to the proposed Funding Date, the Interest Rate for the related Advances funded by such
Institutional Lender with respect to such Funding Request shall be the LIBOR Market Index Rate. 
 Each Funding Request shall

Carolina time) on the Business Day that is one Business Day (or, in the case of Advances in an Alternative Currency, four Business Days) prior to the Business Day for which such Advance is requested or on a day that is not a Business Day, such
Funding Request shall be deemed to be received by the Deal Agent at 9:00 a.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the next Business Day. 
  

 55 

 (c) No later than 3:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) with respect to Advances in Dollars and

substantially in the form of Exhibit I from outside counsel to the Borrower concerning the Collateral Custodian’s receipt of certain documentation relating to each Pre-Positioned Loan to be funded with the proceeds of such Advance.

 (d) On the Funding Date, each Conduit Lender other than VFCC may, and VFCC and each Institutional Lender (except to the extent that its
related Conduit Lender, if any, has made its Pro Rata Share of the amounts described below available to the Deal Agent on such Funding Date) shall make available to the Deal Agent in same day funds an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of the lesser of (x) the amount requested by the Borrower for such Advance and (y) an amount equal to the Availability on such Funding Date; provided, that, if the Advance requested by the Borrower is an Advance in an
Alternative Currency, each Lender shall make available to the Deal Agent an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the lesser of (i) the amount requested by the Borrower and (ii) the difference between (A) the
Alternative Currency Sub-Limit minus (B) the Dollar Equivalents of the amount of all Advances Outstanding in Alternative Currencies. The Deal Agent shall calculate each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such funding. Subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.1, and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Deal Agent shall make available to the Borrower in same day funds, at such bank or other location
reasonably designated by the Borrower in the Funding Request given pursuant to this Section 2.3, the aggregate amount calculated as set forth above. 
 (e) On each Funding Date, the obligation of each Lender to remit its Pro Rata Share of any such Advance shall be several from that of each other Lender and the failure of a Lender to so make such amount available to
the Deal Agent shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder. 
 Section 2.4. Optional Changes in Facility
Amount; Prepayments. 
 (a) The Borrower shall be entitled at its option, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event,
to terminate in whole or reduce in part the portion of the Facility Amount that exceeds the Advances Outstanding; provided, that, the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall give prior written notice in the form of Exhibit
A-3 of such reduction to the Deal Agent as provided in Section 2.4(b) and that any partial reduction of the Facility Amount shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or integral multiples thereof in a minimum of $500,000. Any request
for a reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) shall be irrevocable. The Commitment and the Alternative Currency Sub-Limit of each Conduit Lender and each Institutional Lender, as applicable, shall be reduced by an amount
equal to its Pro Rata Share (prior to giving effect to any reduction of Commitments hereunder) of the aggregate amount of any reduction under this Section 2.4(a). The Deal Agent shall calculate each Lender’s new Pro Rata Share of
the Commitments and Alternative Currency Sub-Limit. 
 (b) Prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Borrower may, upon one
Business Day’s (or, in the case of an Advance in an Alternative Currency, four Business Days) 

  

 56 

 
prior written notice (such notice to be received by the Deal Agent and each applicable Hedge Counterparty no later than 3:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina
time) on such day) to the Deal Agent and each applicable Hedge Counterparty, reduce the Advances Outstanding by remitting, to the Deal Agent, for payment to the respective Lenders (i) cash, in the Currency of such Advances, in an amount equal
to such Advances Outstanding and Breakage Costs, if any, and (ii) instructions to reduce such Advances Outstanding and, with respect to Advances Outstanding in an Alternative Currency bearing Interest at the Alternative Rate, specifying which
Alternative Rate contracts will be terminated in respect of such reduction; provided, that, no such reduction shall be given effect unless the Borrower has complied with the terms of any Hedging Agreement that may require that one or
more Hedge Transactions be terminated in whole or in part as the result of any such reduction of the Advances Outstanding, and the Borrower has paid in full all Hedge Breakage Costs, if any, owing to the relevant Hedge Counterparty for any such
termination. Any reduction of the Advances Outstanding (other than with respect to payments of the Required Advance Reduction Amount) shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 (or the Alternative Currency Equivalent thereof) with integral multiples
of $100,000 (or the Alternative Currency Equivalent thereof). Any such reduction will occur only if sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all such amounts in the succeeding sentence in full. Upon receipt of such amounts, the Deal Agent shall
apply such amounts to the payment of any Hedge Breakage Costs and to the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding to the respective Lenders by paying such amounts to the respective Lenders and to the payment of any Breakage Costs, if
any. Any Advance so prepaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed during the Revolving Period. Any Borrower Notice relating to any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) shall be irrevocable. 
 (c) If on any day the Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, does not own or have (i) with respect to Transferred Loans denominated in
Dollars, a valid and perfected first priority security interest in any such Transferred Loan and Related Property (subject to Permitted Liens) and (ii) with respect to Transferred Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, a valid and
effective security interest in any such Transferred Loan and Related Property (other than additional or “boot” collateral) relating to such Transferred Loan (subject to any filing, registration or notarization (including registration of a
debenture necessary to perfect such security interest and make such security interest enforceable and effective)), upon the earlier of the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Deal Agent or the Borrower becoming aware thereof and the
Borrower’s failure to cure such breach within 30 days (if cure is reasonably possible and otherwise immediately upon receipt of such notice or upon the Borrower becoming aware), the Borrower shall be deemed to have received on such day a
collection (a “Deemed Collection”) of such Loan in full and shall on such day pay to the Deal Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, an amount equal to (x) the Outstanding Loan Balance of such Loan in the Currency of such
Loan, to be applied to the pro rata reduction of the principal of the Structured Notes, the Swingline Note and the Alternative Currency Swingline Note, plus (y) any Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs, if any, and any other payments
owing to the applicable Hedge Counterparty in respect of the termination of any Hedge Transaction required as a result of the Deemed Collection, plus (z) any other costs and expenses related to the retransfer of, or release of Lien on, such
Loan and any Related Property contemplated by this Section 2.4(c). In connection with any such Deemed Collection, the Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, shall automatically and without further action (unless otherwise
necessary or requested by the Borrower or Servicer), be deemed to release the Lien on such Loan and any Related Property 

  

 57 

 
created by this Agreement in favor of the Deal Agent and transfer to the Borrower, free and clear of any Lien created by the Deal Agent, all of the right,
title and interest of the Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in, to, and under the Loan and any Related Property with respect to which the Deal Agent has received such Deemed Collection (such Loan a “Repurchased Loan”),
but without any recourse, representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied. 
 (d) If on any day the Dollar Equivalent of the
aggregate amount of all Advances Outstanding in Alternative Currencies shall exceed 105% of the Alternative Currency Sub-Limit based on the spot selling rate on such day, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days, prepay Advances Outstanding in
Alternative Currencies in an amount sufficient to reduce the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of all Advances Outstanding in Alternative Currencies to no more than the Alternative Currency Sub-Limit. Upon receipt of such amounts, the Deal
Agent shall apply such amounts to the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding of the Lenders in the related Alternative Currencies by paying such amounts to the respective Lenders. 
 Section 2.5. Reimbursement of Swingline Advances and Alternative Currency Swingline Advances. 
 Notwithstanding Sections 2.3, 3.1 and 3.2, each Conduit Lender and each Institutional Lender hereby agrees that (a) if the
Swingline Lender funds any Swingline Advance, each Conduit Lender other than VFCC may and VFCC and each Institutional Lender (except to the extent that its related Conduit Lender, if any, has reimbursed the Swingline Lender as described herein)
shall reimburse the Swingline Lender for such Swingline Advance not later than one Business Day after the Swingline Lender funds such Swingline Advance and (b) if the Alternative Currency Swingline Lender funds any Alternative Currency
Swingline Advance, each Conduit Lender funding Alternative Currencies and each Institutional Lender related to Conduit Lenders not funding Alternative Currencies or not having a related Conduit Lender shall reimburse the Alternative Currency
Swingline Lender for such Alternative Currency Swingline Advance not later than four Business Days after the Alternative Currency Swingline Lender funds such Alternative Currency Swingline Advance, in the proportions described in the following
sentence. Such reimbursement shall be accomplished by each Conduit Lender and each Institutional Lender, as applicable, remitting to the Deal Agent such Conduit Lender’s and such Institutional Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Swingline
Advance or Alternative Currency Swingline Advance, as applicable; provided, however, that clause (a) of the definition of Commitment shall be used to calculate the Commitment of each Conduit Lender and Institutional Lender
for the purposes of any such reimbursement occurring after the Termination Date. The Deal Agent shall remit such amount to the Swingline Lender or Alternative Currency Swingline Lender, as applicable. The Borrower and the Servicer hereby authorize
and instruct each Conduit Lender and each Institutional Lender to reimburse the Swingline Lender or the Alternative Currency Swingline Lender in the manner described in this Section 2.5. 
 Section 2.6. Notations on the Structured Notes. 
 (a) Each Lender Agent is hereby authorized to enter on a schedule attached to each Conduit Lender’s and each Institutional Lender’s Structured Note a notation (which may be computer generated) or to
otherwise record in its internal books and records or computer system with respect to each Advance under such Structured Note made by the applicable Lender of: 

  

 58 

 
(i) the date and principal amount thereof and (ii) each payment and repayment of principal thereof. Any such recordation shall, absent manifest
error, constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded. The failure of any Lender Agent to make any such notation on the schedule attached to the applicable Structured Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the
obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances under such Structured Note in accordance with the terms set forth herein. 
 (b) The
Swingline Lender is hereby authorized to enter on a schedule attached to the Swingline Note a notation (which may be computer generated) or to otherwise record in its internal books and records or computer system with respect to each Swingline
Advance under the Swingline Note made by the Swingline Lender of: (i) the date and principal amount thereof and (ii) each payment and repayment of principal thereof. Any such recordation shall, absent manifest error, constitute prima facie
evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded. The failure of the Swingline Lender to make any such notation on the schedule attached to the Swingline Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the
Swingline Advances under the Swingline Note in accordance with the terms set forth herein. 
 (c) The Alternative Currency Swingline Lender
is hereby authorized to enter on a schedule attached to the Alternative Currency Swingline Note a notation (which may be computer generated) or to otherwise record in its internal books and records or computer system with respect to each Alternative
Currency Swingline Advance under the Alternative Currency Swingline Note made by the Alternative Currency Swingline Lender of: (i) the date and principal amount thereof and (ii) each payment and repayment of principal thereof. Any such
recordation shall, absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded. The failure of the Alternative Currency Swingline Lender to make any such notation on the schedule attached to the Alternative
Currency Swingline Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Alternative Currency Swingline Advances under the Alternative Currency Swingline Note in accordance with the terms set forth herein. 

Section 2.7. Principal Repayments. 
 (a) Unless sooner prepaid pursuant to Section 2.4(b) or Section 9.1, the Advances Outstanding shall be repaid in full in the Currency of such Advances on the date that occurs twenty-four
(24) months following the Termination Date. In addition, Advances Outstanding shall be repaid in the Currency of such Advances as and when necessary to cause the Availability to equal or exceed $0 and to cause all Advances Outstanding in
Alternative Currencies not to exceed the Alternative Currency Sub-Limit. Any amount so repaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed hereunder during the Revolving Period. 
 (b) Unless sooner reimbursed by the Conduit Lenders and the Institutional Lenders pursuant to Section 2.5, (i) Swingline Advances shall
be repaid in full by the Borrower to the Deal Agent one Business Day following the date such Swingline Advance was funded and (ii) Alternative Currency Swingline Advances shall be repaid in full by the Borrower to the Deal Agent four Business
Days following the date such Alternative Currency Swingline Advance was funded. The Deal Agent shall remit such amount to the Swingline Lender or Alternative Currency Swingline Lender, as applicable. Swingline Advances and Alternative Currency

  

 59 

 
Swingline Advances shall be with full recourse to the Borrower, and if a Swingline Advance or Alternative Currency Swingline Advance is not paid, the
Swingline Lender or Alternative Currency Swingline Lender, as applicable, will have the rights and remedies provided under the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction and other Applicable Law, which rights shall be cumulative. 
 (c) [Reserved]. 
 (d) With respect to any
Swingline Advances or Alternative Currency Swingline Advance, (i) all Interest accrued and unpaid on the amount repaid to (but excluding) the date of such repayment, and (ii) any and all Hedge Breakage Costs and any other amounts payable
by the Borrower under or with respect to any Hedging Agreement, shall be paid to the Swingline Lender or Alternative Currency Swingline Lender, as applicable and any applicable Hedge Counterparty from the appropriate Collection Account on each
Payment Date, monthly in arrears, in accordance with Sections 2.9(a)(1)(vi) and (vii) and Sections 2.9(b)(vi) and (vii). 
 Section 2.8. Interest Payments.

Swingline Advance, as applicable, for the period commencing on and including the Funding Date of such Advance, Swingline Advance or Alternative Currency Swingline Advance, as applicable, through but excluding the date that such Advance, Swingline
Advance or Alternative Currency Swingline Advance, as applicable, shall be paid in full. Interest shall accrue during each Accrual Period and be payable on each Advance, each Swingline Advance and each Alternative Currency Swingline Advance on each
Payment Date. 
 (b) The Deal Agent shall determine the Interest Rate and Interest (including unpaid Interest, if any, due and payable on a
prior Payment Date) to be paid by the Borrower with respect to each Advance, each Swingline Advance and each Alternative Currency Swingline Advance on each Payment Date and shall advise each Lender Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Alternative
Currency Swingline Lender and the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower thereof five Business Days prior to each Payment Date. 
 (c) Anything
in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time the rate of interest payable by any Person under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under
Applicable Law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then, so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be exceeded, the rate of interest under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate. If at any
time thereafter the rate of interest payable under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, such Person shall continue to pay interest under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents at the Maximum Lawful
Rate until such time as the total interest received from such Person is equal to the total interest that would have been received had Applicable Law not limited the interest rate payable under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. In no
event shall the total interest received by a Lender under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents exceed the 

  

 60 

 
amount that such Lender could lawfully have received, had the interest due under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents been calculated since the
Closing Date at the Maximum Lawful Rate.

any Applicable Law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by an Affected Party with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental

Alternative Currency Swingline Advance and all payments made by the Borrower or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, unless
such withholding or deduction is required by law. In such event, the Borrower shall pay to the appropriate taxing authority any such Taxes required to be deducted or withheld and the amount payable to the Deal Agent and each other Secured Party (as
the case may be) will be increased (such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that every net payment made under this Agreement after deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes (including, without limitation, any
Taxes on such increase) is not less than the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been deducted or withheld. The foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts, however, will not apply with respect to, and the term

pay Additional Amounts (including, without limitation, any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on such Additional Amounts) paid by the Deal Agent or such other Secured Party (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Deal Agent or such other Secured Party, as appropriate, making a demand for indemnity payment, shall provide the Borrower, at its address set forth
on Annex A  

  

 69

otherwise evidencing that the Deal Agent or such other Secured Party has made payment of such Taxes and will provide a copy of or extract from documentation, if available, furnished by such taxing authority evidencing assertion or payment of such
Taxes. This indemnification shall be made within ten days from the date the Deal Agent or such other Secured Party (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. 
 (c) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of any Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the Deal Agent, at its address set forth on Annex A hereto, appropriate evidence of payment thereof.

number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms or other certificates or statements that may be required from time to time by the relevant United
States taxing authorities or Applicable Laws), as appropriate, to permit the Borrower to make payments hereunder for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes

be prescribed by Applicable Laws) of such additional, amended or successor forms, certificates or statements as may be required under Applicable Laws to permit the Borrower to make payments hereunder for the account of such Lender, without deduction
or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes. 
 (e) For any period with respect to which a Lender or the Deal Agent has
failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or statement described in Section 2.15(d) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date of this Agreement), the Deal Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to indemnification under clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15 with respect to any Taxes. 
 (f) Within 30 days of the written request of the Borrower therefor, the Deal Agent and the Lenders, as appropriate, shall execute and deliver to the
Borrower such certificates, forms or other documents that can be furnished consistent with the facts and that are reasonably necessary to assist the Borrower in applying for refunds of Taxes remitted hereunder; provided, however,
that the Deal Agent and the Lenders shall not be required to deliver such certificates forms or other documents if in their respective sole discretion it is determined that the delivery of such certificate, form or other document would have a
material adverse effect on the Deal Agent or Lenders; provided further, that the Borrower shall reimburse the Deal Agent or the Lenders for any reasonable expenses incurred in the delivery of such certificate, form or other
document.

funds an amount equal to the Retransfer Price therefor. Upon each such repayment, the Deal Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall automatically and without further action be deemed to release to the Borrower all the right, title and interest
of the Secured Parties in, to and under such Ineligible Loan(s) and all monies due or to become due with respect thereto, all proceeds thereof and all rights

subject of any claims, proceedings, Liens or encumbrances with respect to any material violation or claimed material violation of any federal or state environmental laws or regulations or (y) in the event of a breach of the representation and
warranty in Section 4.1(ee), such Transferred Loan shall for all purposes hereunder be, at and following the time of discovery by the Servicer of such fact, the Borrower, the Deal Agent or any other Secured Party, deemed an Ineligible
Loan and the Borrower shall either repay Advances Outstanding in an amount equal to the aggregate Retransfer Price of such Ineligible Loan or substitute for such Ineligible Loan a Substitute Loan. Such Ineligible Loan shall otherwise be treated in
accordance with Section 2.19(b) and shall be subject to the same remedial and recourse provisions hereunder as other Transferred Loans determined to be Ineligible Loans hereunder. 
 (c) If any Transferred Loan is replaced by one or more Substitute Loans pursuant to Section 2.19(a), such Substitute Loans shall be
denominated in the same Currency as the Replaced Loan. If any Advance Outstanding required to be repaid pursuant to Section 2.19(b) is in an Alternative Currency, such Advance Outstanding shall be repaid in the same Alternative Currency.
If any Ineligible Loan is replaced with one or more Substitute Loans pursuant to Section 2.19(b), such Substitute Loans shall be denominated in the same Currency as the Ineligible Loan. 
 Section 2.20. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Deal Agent. 
 (a) Except as provided in Section 2.20(c), unless the Deal Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender prior to the date an Advance is to be made by such Lender (which notice shall be effective
upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make the proceeds of such Advance available to the Deal Agent, the Deal Agent may assume that such Lender has made such proceeds available to the Deal Agent on such date, and the Deal Agent may in
reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Deal Agent, the Deal Agent shall be able to recover such
corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Deal Agent’s demand therefor, the Deal Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such
corresponding amount to the Deal Agent. The Deal Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was
made available by the Deal Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Deal Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the Interest Rate applicable to the Advance requested pursuant to the
related Funding Request and (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Rate. 
  

 78 

 (b) A certificate of the Deal Agent submitted to the Borrower or any Lender with respect to any amount
owing under this Section 2.20 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
 (c) On the date of any borrowing of an
Advance in an Alternative Currency, the Deal Agent shall make available to the Borrower the proceeds of such borrowing only upon actual receipt by the Deal Agent from each Lender of such Lender’s pro rata portion of such borrowing in

 (iii) have a notional amount such that the Hedge Notional Amount in effect on each day during the term of such Hedge Transactions shall be

(b) Subject to, and without limiting the provisions of, Article VIII of this Agreement, Borrower hereby assigns to the Deal Agent, as agent for
the Secured Parties, all right, title and interest of Borrower in each Hedging Agreement, each Hedge Transaction, and all present and future amounts payable by a Hedge Counterparty to Borrower under or in connection with the respective Hedging
Agreement and Hedge Transaction(s) with that Hedge Counterparty (the 

  

 96 

 
“Hedge Collateral”), and grants a security interest to the Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in the Hedge Collateral. The
Borrower acknowledges that, as a result of that assignment, Borrower may not, without the prior written consent of the Deal Agent, exercise any rights under any Hedging Agreement or Hedge Transaction, except for Borrower’s right under any
Hedging Agreement to enter into Hedge Transactions in order to meet the Borrower’s obligations under Section 5.2(a) hereof. Nothing herein shall have the effect of releasing the Borrower from any of its obligations under any Hedging
Agreement or any Hedge Transaction, nor be construed as requiring the consent of the Deal Agent or any Secured Party for the performance by Borrower of any such obligations. 
 (c) The Borrower shall, promptly upon execution thereof, provide to the Deal Agent and each Lender Agent, a copy of each Hedging Agreement entered into
in connection with this Agreement.

constituting part of “chattel paper” (within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC) that evidence any such Loan (other than with respect to a Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency) set forth on such Loan List, including all
Underlying Notes, in each case endorsed in blank without recourse; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) with respect to any Pre-Positioned Loan, the Borrower shall (i) have a copy of the executed

September 30, 2005, the Borrower, or the Servicer on the Borrower’s behalf, shall include a Loan Checklist for each Loan File or any portion of a Loan File (including, without limitation, the delivery by fax of the Underlying Note for a
Pre-Positioned Loan and the delivery of the Loan Register for a Noteless Loan) with each delivery of any Loan Documents to the Collateral Custodian, listing the contents of such delivery. Pursuant to Section 7.10, the Borrower is
required to deliver such instruments, Loan Files and Loan Checklists to the Collateral Custodian for the benefit of the Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties. Accordingly, the Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the Servicer to deliver
possession of all such instruments, Loan Files and Loan Checklists to the Collateral Custodian on behalf of the Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, and agrees that such delivery shall satisfy the condition set forth in the first sentence
of this Section 5.3(a). The Servicer shall also identify on the Loan List (including any amendment thereof), whether by attached schedule or marking or other effective identifying designation, all Transferred Loans that are not evidenced

 (b) Prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event, the Collateral
Custodian shall not record the Assignments of Mortgage delivered pursuant to Section 5.3(a) and the definition of Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event or a Servicer Termination Event, the Collateral Custodian shall
cause to be recorded in the appropriate offices each Assignment of Mortgage delivered to it with respect to all Transferred Loans except those Transferred Loans covered by the proviso to the definition of Assignment of Mortgage. Each such recording
shall be at the expense of the Servicer; provided, however, that, to the extent the Servicer does not pay such expenses, the Collateral Custodian shall be reimbursed pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.9.

and each other Secured Party. 
 (b) If any change in either the Originator’s or the Borrower’s name, identity, structure,

executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Transferred Loans and, after 

  

 101 

 
the delinquency of any Transferred Loan and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to
enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as the Originator could have done if it had continued to own such Loan. The Borrower shall furnish the Servicer (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Servicer to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectibility of the Transferred Loans. In no event shall the
Servicer be entitled to make the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian, the Deal Agent or any other Secured Party a party to any litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make the Borrower a party to any litigation
(other than any routine foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Deal Agent’s consent. 
 (b) After a Termination Event
has occurred and is continuing, at the Deal Agent’s direction, the Servicer shall take such action as the Deal Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Transferred Loans; provided, however, that
the Deal Agent may, at any time after a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, notify any Obligor with respect to any Transferred Loans of the assignment of such Transferred Loans to the Deal Agent and direct that payments of all amounts
due or to become due to the Borrower thereunder be made directly to the Deal Agent or any servicer, collection agent or lock-box or other account designated by the Deal Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrower, the Deal
Agent may enforce collection of any such Transferred Loans and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof. The Deal Agent shall give written notice to any Successor Servicer of the Deal Agent’s actions or directions pursuant to
this Section 7.3(b), and no Successor Servicer shall take any actions pursuant to this Section 7.3(b) that are outside of its Credit and Collection Policy. 
 Section 7.4. Collection of Payments. 
 (a) Collection Efforts, Modification of Loans. The Servicer will make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Transferred Loans as and when the same become
due, and will follow those collection procedures which it follows with respect to all comparable Loans that it services for itself or others. The Servicer may not waive, modify or otherwise vary any provision of a Transferred Loan, except as may be
in accordance with the provisions of the Credit and Collection Policy, which permits, among other things, the waiver of any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing any Loan included in the
Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any collection efforts involving the sale of a Transferred Loan, if after giving effect to any such sale (1) the amount described in clause (ii) of the
definition of Availability shall exceed the amount described in clause (i) of the definition of Availability or (2) an Unmatured Termination Event, a Termination Event or a Servicer Termination Event would occur then the Servicer prior to
any such sale which would result in a loss to the Secured Parties based on the Outstanding Loan Balance plus accrued interest and other fees due and payable shall obtain the prior written consent of the Deal Agent. 
 (b) [Reserved]. 
  

 102 

 (c) Taxes and other Amounts. To the extent provided for in any Transferred Loan, the Servicer will
use its best efforts to collect all payments with respect to amounts due for taxes, assessments and insurance premiums relating to such Transferred Loans or the Related Property and remit such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or
insurer on or prior to the date such payments are due. 
 (d) Payments to Lock-Box Account. On or before the Cut-Off Date with respect
to each Transferred Loan denominated in Dollars, the Servicer shall have instructed the related Obligor to make all payments in respect of such Transferred Loan to a Lock-Box or directly to the Lock-Box Account. All proceeds in the Lock-Box Account
shall be distributed into the U.S. Dollar Collection Account within two Business Days as provided in the Lock-Box Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement. On or before the Cut-Off Date with respect to each Transferred Loan denominated in an
Alternative Currency, the Servicer shall have instructed the related Obligor to make all payments in respect of such Transferred Loan to the Collection Account for such Alternative Currency. 
 (e) Establishment of the Collection Accounts. The Borrower or the Servicer on its behalf has previously caused the U.S. Dollar Collection
Account to be established, and shall cause such account to be maintained at all times, in the name of the Borrower but under the control of the Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, with a Qualified Institution for the purpose of receiving
Collections in Dollars from the Collateral. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Collateral Custodian shall cause to be established, with its Cayman Islands branch, three Collection Accounts, one for each Alternative Currency, for the purpose of
receiving Collections in each such Alternative Currency from the Collateral. As of the Closing Date, each Collection Account is set forth on Annex D. Any changes to any Collection Account after the Closing Date shall be recorded on an amended
Annex D. Each Collection Account at all times shall be maintained at a Qualified Institution and shall be in the name of the Collateral Custodian. “Qualified Institution” means, in the case of the U.S. Dollar Collection
Account, a depository institution or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any one of the States thereof or the District of Columbia (or any domestic branch of a foreign bank), or in the case of a Collection Account for any
Alternative Currency, a depository institution located in London, England (including any London branch or affiliate of a domestic bank) or the Cayman Islands branch of a domestic bank, in each case (i) (A) that has either (1) a
long-term unsecured debt rating of “A-” or better by S&P and “A-3” or better by Moody’s or (2) a short-term unsecured debt rating or certificate of deposit rating of “A-1” or better by S&P or
“P-1” or better by Moody’s, (B) the parent corporation of which such depository institution is a Subsidiary has either (1) a long-term unsecured debt rating of “A-” or better by S&P and “A-3” or
better by Moody’s or (2) a short-term unsecured debt rating or certificate of deposit rating of “A-1” or better by S&P and “P-1” or better by Moody’s or (C) is otherwise acceptable to the Deal Agent and
(ii) whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or a comparable Governmental Authority of an Approved Country and (iii) has either (x) agreed with the Borrower, the Servicer and the Deal Agent to comply
with any and all orders, notices, requests and other instructions originated by the Deal Agent directing disposition of the funds in such Collection Account without any further consent from the Borrower or the Servicer or (y) is titled in the
name of the Collateral Custodian. 
  

 103 

 (f) In order to provide the Deal Agent with control over the U.S. Dollar Collection Account within
the meaning of Section 9-104(a) of the UCC and any other applicable law, the Borrower and the Servicer hereby agree that the Deal Agent may at any time provide Wells Fargo or any successor Person that maintains the U.S. Dollar Collection
Account with instructions as to the disposition of funds in the U.S. Dollar Collection Account or as to any other matters relating to the U.S. Dollar Collection Account without any further consent from the Borrower or the Servicer. Wells
Fargo agrees with the Borrower, the Servicer and the Deal Agent to comply with any and all orders, notices, requests and other instructions originated by the Deal Agent directing disposition of the funds in the U.S. Dollar Collection Account
without any further consent from the Borrower or the Servicer. In addition, the Borrower agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may reasonably be
necessary or desirable, or that the Deal Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interest of the Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in each Collection Account (other than the U.S. Dollar
Collection Account) and to enable the Deal Agent or the other Secured Parties to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies with respect to such Collection Accounts. On each Payment Date, the Collateral Custodian shall deposit into each Deal
Agent’s Account from the corresponding Collection Account an amount, based on the Monthly Report, to the extent of Available Funds in each such Collection Account, to be applied by the Deal Agent to make the payments required by
Section 2.9 on such Payment Date. 
 (g) Adjustments. If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into any Collection Account
in respect of a Collection of a Loan in the Collateral and such Collection was received by the Servicer in the form of a check that is not honored for any reason or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any Collection
and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Collection, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into such Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake. Any
Scheduled Payment in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid. 
 (h) Released Amounts.
The Deal Agent and the other Secured Parties hereby agree to release to the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby agrees to release to the Originator, 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 Deal Agent or the other Secured Parties; provided, that, the Deal Agent and the other Secured Parties shall execute
and deliver such instruments of release and assignment, or otherwise confirm the foregoing release, as may reasonably be requested by the Originator in writing. Immediately upon the release to the Borrower by the Deal Agent and the other Secured
Parties of the Released Amounts, the Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees to release to the Originator such Released Amounts, which release shall be automatic and shall require no further act by the Borrower; provided, that, the Borrower
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 
 (i) Securities Intermediary. The Collateral Custodian hereby agrees that, with respect to each Collection Account, it is also acting as
“securities intermediary” hereunder. In such capacity, it agrees that at all times prior to the satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations 

  

 104 

 
in accordance with the terms thereof: (i) all matters relating to the Collection Accounts shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York and
that for purposes of Article 8 of the New York UCC the State of New York is the “securities intermediary’s” jurisdiction; (ii) all property, including all cash and all Permitted Investments, held by it as “securities
intermediary” on behalf of the Deal Agent and the Lenders in the Collection Accounts shall be treated as “financial assets” under and as defined in Article 8 of the New York UCC; (iii) the Collateral Custodian as “securities
intermediary” will treat the Deal Agent as entitled to exercise the rights comprising the investments or other financial assets credited to the Collection Accounts and will at all times identify the Deal Agent on its records as the person
having a security entitlement against it, as “securities intermediary”; (iv) the financial assets credited to the Collection Accounts shall not be registered in the name of, payable to the order of, or specially indorsed to the
Collateral Custodian except in its capacity as “securities intermediary”; and (v) the “securities intermediary” will not comply with entitlement orders originated by any Person other than the Deal Agent with respect to the
investments or financial assets held in the Collection Accounts. 
 Section 7.5. Servicer Advances. 
 (a) For each Collection Period, if the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) that was due and payable pursuant to a Loan
included in the Collateral during such Collection Period was not received prior to the end of such Collection Period, the Servicer may, but shall not be obligated to, make an advance in the Currency of and in an amount up to the amount of such
delinquent Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) if the Servicer reasonably believes that the advance will be reimbursed by the related Obligor; in addition, if on any day there are not sufficient funds on deposit in any Collection Account to pay
accrued Interest and Program Fees on any Advance, Swingline Advance or Alternative Currency Swingline Advance the Collection Period of which ends on such day, the Servicer may, but shall not be obligated to, make an advance in the Currency and in
the amount necessary to pay such Interest and Program Fees if the Servicer reasonably believes that the advance will be reimbursed by the related Obligor (in either case, any such advance, a “Servicer Advance”). Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, any successor Servicer will not be obligated to make any Servicer Advances. 
 (b) The Servicer will deposit any Servicer
Advances into the related Collection Account on or prior to, in the case of the U.S. Dollar Collection Account, 11:00 a.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) or, in the case of a Collection Account for an Alternative Currency, 11:00 a.m. (Cayman
Islands time), on the related Payment Date, in immediately available funds. A Servicer Advance for a delinquent payment on a Loan will not constitute a reclassification of the delinquency status of such Loan for reporting purposes and the Delinquent
payment with respect to such Loan will continue to age as if no payment has been made. 

 105 

 Section 7.6. Realization Upon Defaulted Loans or Charged-Off Loans. 
 The Servicer will use its reasonable efforts to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Related Property with respect to a
Defaulted Loan or Charged-Off Loan and will act as sales and processing agent for Related Property that it repossesses. The Servicer will follow the practices and procedures set forth in the Credit and Collection Policy in order to realize upon such
Related Property. Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer may sell any such Related Property with respect any Defaulted Loan or Charged-Off Loan to the Servicer or its Affiliates for a purchase price equal to the then fair market value thereof;
any such sale to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to the Deal Agent identifying the Defaulted Loan or Charged-Off Loan and the Related Property, setting forth the sale price of the Related Property and
certifying that such sale price is the fair market value of such Related Property; provided, however, that if after giving effect to such sale (a) the Availability is greater than $0 or (b) an Unmatured Termination
Event, a Termination Event or a Servicer Termination Event would occur, then the Servicer prior to selling any Related Property with respect a Defaulted Loan or Charged-Off Loan shall obtain the prior written consent of the Deal Agent. In any case
in which any such Related Property has suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any repair or toward the repossession of such Related Property unless it reasonably determines that such repair and/or repossession will
increase the Recoveries by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer will remit to the appropriate Collection Account the Recoveries received in connection with the sale or disposition of Related Property with respect to a
Defaulted Loan or Charged-Off Loan. 
 Section 7.7. Maintenance of Insurance Policies. 
 The Servicer will require that each borrower with respect to a Transferred Loan maintain an Insurance Policy with respect to each Transferred Loan and the
Related Property in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. In connection with its activities as Servicer, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of the Borrower and the Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, with respect to the
respective interests, claims to the insurer under each Insurance Policy, and to settle, adjust and compromise such claims, in each case, consistent with the terms of each related Loan. 
 Section 7.8. Representations and Warranties of the Servicer. 
 The Servicer hereby represents and warrants as follows: 
 (a) Organization and Good Standing; Power and Authority The Servicer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation with all

 (b) Due Qualification. The Servicer is qualified to do business as a corporation, is in good standing, and has obtained all
licenses and approvals as required under the laws of all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property and/or the conduct of its business 

  

 106 

 
and/or the performance of its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party requires such qualification, standing, license or approval,
except to the extent that the failure to so qualify, maintain such standing or to obtain such license or approval would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) Due Authorization. The Servicer has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by all requisite corporate
action. 
 (d) No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by, and the fulfillment of the terms of, this Agreement
by the Servicer (with or without notice or lapse of time) will not (i) conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Servicer, or any
Contractual Obligation to which the Servicer is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound, (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such Contractual Obligation
(other than this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement), or (iii) violate any Applicable Law. 
 (e) No Consent. No consent,
approval, authorization, order, registration, filing, qualification, license or permit of or with any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer or any of its properties is required to be obtained by or with respect to the Servicer
in order for the Servicer to enter into this Agreement or perform its obligations hereunder. 
 (f) Binding Obligation. This Agreement
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer, enforceable against the Servicer in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable Insolvency Laws and (ii) general principles of
equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity). 
 (g) No Proceedings. Except as previously disclosed to the Deal Agent in
writing, there are no proceedings or investigations (formal or informal) pending or to the knowledge of the Servicer, threatened against the Servicer, 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 would (in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer) be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 (h) Reports Accurate. All Servicer Certificates, information, exhibits, financial statements, documents, books, Servicer
Records or reports furnished or to be furnished by the Servicer to the Deal Agent or any other Secured Party in connection with this Agreement are and will be accurate, true and correct. 
 (i) No Servicer Default. No event has occurred and is continuing and no condition exists, or would result from a purchase in respect of any
Investment or from the application of the proceeds therefrom, which constitutes or may reasonably be expected to constitute a Servicer Default. 
 (j) Material Adverse Change. Since March 31, 2005, there has been no Material Adverse Change with respect to the initial Servicer. 
  

 107 

 (k) Credit and Collection Policy. Since September 17, 2001, there has been no material change
in any Credit and Collection Policy of the initial Servicer other than in accordance with this Agreement. Since such date, no Material Adverse Change has occurred in the overall collectibility of the Loans. It has at all times complied with the
Credit and Collection Policy with respect to each Loan. 
 Section 7.9. Covenants of the Servicer. 
 The Servicer hereby covenants that:

Compliance with Law. The Servicer will comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws, including those with respect to the Transferred Loans, the Related Property and Loan Documents or any part thereof. 
 (b) Preservation of Corporate Existence. The Servicer will preserve and maintain its corporate existence, rights, franchises and privileges in the
jurisdiction of its formation, and qualify and remain qualified in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the failure to maintain such existence, rights, franchises, privileges and qualification could reasonably be
expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) Obligations with Respect to Loans. The Servicer will duly fulfill and comply with
all obligations on the part of the Borrower to be fulfilled or complied with under or in connection with each Loan and will do nothing to impair the rights of the Borrower or the Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, or of the Secured
Parties in, to and under the Collateral. 
 (d) Preservation of Security Interest. The Servicer on behalf of the Borrower will file
(or cause the filing of) such financing and continuation statements and any other documents and take such other actions that may be required by any law or regulation of any Governmental Authority to preserve and protect fully the interest of the
Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in, to and under the Collateral. 
 (e) [Reserved]. 
 (f) Change of Name or Location; Records. The Servicer (i) shall not change its name, move the location of its principal executive office or

in any 

  

 108 

 
manner materially affect or impair the collectibility of any Transferred Loan or the interests of any Lender. The initial Servicer will not agree to or
otherwise permit any change in the Credit and Collection Policy which would in any manner materially and adversely affect or impair the collectibility of any Transferred Loan or the interests of any Lender, in each case without the prior written
consent of the Deal Agent and each Lender Agent. 
 (h) Termination Events. The Servicer will furnish to the Deal Agent, as soon as
possible and in any event within three Business Days after the occurrence of each Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event, a written statement setting forth the details of such event and the action that the Servicer proposes to take with
respect thereto. 
 (i) Extension or Amendment of Loans. The Servicer will not, except as otherwise permitted in
Section 7.4(a), extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Transferred Loan. 
 (j) Other. The Servicer will
furnish to the Borrower, the Deal Agent and any Lender Agent such other information, documents records or reports respecting the Transferred Loans or the condition or operations, financial or otherwise of the Servicer as the Borrower, the Deal Agent

intended to be used for the purpose of providing funds for the Obligor to make an interest and/or principal payment on an Eligible Loan issued to such Obligor, the Servicer shall designate such Obligor as a Grade 2 Obligor or a Grade 1
Obligor through the date that is one year after the date that such Add-On Loan is made; provided, that, this Section 7.9(l) shall not apply in connection with Add-On Loans that are part of a single plan of financing
(regardless of when such plan of financing is actually funded) involving Add-On Loans to the Obligor by, in addition to the Originator, a Person who is neither the Originator nor an Affiliate thereof; provided, further, that,
the restriction set forth in this Section 7.9(l) shall not apply after the date on which a subsequent Add-On Loan is made to the Obligor and neither the Originator nor an Affiliate thereof is a party to such subsequent Add-On Loan.

  

 109 

 (m) Inspection of Records. The Servicer will, at any time and from time to time during regular
business hours, as requested by the Deal Agent or any Lender Agent, permit the Deal Agent or any Lender Agent, or its agents or representatives, (i) to examine and make copies of and take abstracts from all books, records and documents
(including computer tapes and disks) relating to the Loans and the related Loan Documents and (ii) to visit the offices and properties of the Borrower, the Originator or the Servicer, as applicable, for the purpose of examining such materials
described in clause (i), and to discuss matters relating to the Loans or the Borrower’s, the Originator’s or the Servicer’s performance hereunder, under the Loan Documents and under the other Transaction Documents to which such Person
is a party with such officers, directors, employees or independent public accountants of the Borrower, the Originator or the Servicer, as applicable, as might reasonably be determined to have knowledge of such matters. 
 (n) Keeping of Records. The Servicer will maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures (including an ability to recreate records
evidencing Loans and the related Loan Documents in the event of the destruction of the originals thereof), and keep and maintain, all documents, books, computer tapes, disks, records and other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the
collection of all Loans (including records adequate to permit the daily identification of each new Loan and all Collections of and adjustments to each existing Loan). The Borrower shall give the Deal Agent prompt notice of any material change in its
administrative and operating procedures referred to in the previous sentence. 
 (o) Compliance with Loans. The Servicer will
(i) at its own expense, timely and fully perform and comply with all material provisions, covenants and other promises required to be observed by it under the Loans and the related Loan Documents; and (ii) timely and fully comply in all

 (p) Consolidation or

Event or Material Adverse Effect would occur or be reasonably likely to occur as a result of such transaction, (ii) the Deal Agent and each Lender Agent provides its prior written consent to such transaction and (iii) such Person executes
and delivers to the Deal Agent an agreement by which such Person assumes the obligations of the Servicer hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, or confirms that such obligations remain enforceable against it,
together with such certificates and opinions of counsel as the Deal Agent may reasonably request. 
 (q) Compliance with Trust Agreement
Accounting/Recordkeeping Requirements. The initial Servicer shall comply with, and not take any action, or permit or acquiesce in any action being taken which would have the effect, directly, or indirectly, of causing any breach of, the
covenants of the initial Servicer set forth in Section 4.01(cc)-(gg) of the Borrower’s trust agreement. The Originator, individually and as the initial Servicer, agrees to take or refrain from taking or engaging in, with respect to the
Borrower, each of the actions or activities specified in the “substantive consolidation” opinion of Winston & Strawn LLP (including any certificates attached thereto), delivered on the Closing Date, upon which the conclusions
therein are based. 

 110 

 (r) Loan Register. 
 (i) The Servicer shall maintain with respect to each Noteless Loan a register (each, a “Loan Register”) in which it will record (v) the amount and Currency of such Loan, (w) the amount of
any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Obligor thereunder, (x) the amount of any sum in respect of such Loan received from the Obligor and each lender’s ratable share thereof, (y) the date of
origination of such Loan and (z) the maturity date of such Loan. The entries made in each Loan Register maintained pursuant to this Section 7.9(r) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein
recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Servicer to maintain any such Loan Register or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Obligor to repay the related Loans in accordance with their
terms or any lender’s interest therein. 
 (ii) At any time a Noteless Loan is included as part of the Collateral pursuant to this
Agreement, the Servicer shall deliver to the Collateral Custodian a copy of the related Loan Register, together with a copy of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer certifying to the accuracy of such Loan Register as of the date
such Loan is included as part of the Collateral. 
 Section 7.10. The Collateral Custodian. 
 (a) Appointment; Custodial Duties. The Borrower and the Deal Agent each hereby appoints Wells Fargo to act as Collateral Custodian hereunder, for
the benefit of the Borrower, the Deal Agent and the other Secured Parties, as provided herein. Wells Fargo hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and responsibilities with respect thereto set forth herein. 
 The Collateral Custodian shall take and retain custody of the Loan Files delivered by the Borrower or on its behalf pursuant to Section 5.3
hereof in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all for the benefit of the Secured Parties and subject to the Lien thereon in favor of the Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties. Promptly upon receipt of the first Loan
Document with respect to any Loan File, the Collateral Custodian shall deliver to the Deal Agent a custodial receipt in form of Exhibit J hereto. Within five Business Days of its receipt of any Loan File, the Collateral Custodian shall review
the related Loan Documents to verify that each Loan Document listed on the related Loan Checklists for each Loan File has been received, is executed and has no missing or mutilated pages and that each Underlying Note (other than with respect to a
Noteless Loan) with respect to each Transferred Loan is in original form, and to confirm (in reliance on the related Loan number and Obligor name) that such Loan is referenced on the related Loan List and shall, on or prior to the expiration of such
period, deliver to the Deal Agent a certification in the form of Exhibit K hereto. If the Collateral Custodian receives any Loan Documents not accompanied by a Loan Checklist, it may request that the Servicer provide such a Loan Checklist
before beginning its review. Except as described in the preceding sentence with respect to Underlying Notes, the Collateral Custodian may fulfill its obligations hereunder by accepting and reviewing copies of all Loan Documents in a Loan File. In
order to facilitate the foregoing review by the Collateral Custodian, in connection with each delivery of Loan Files hereunder to the Collateral Custodian, the Servicer shall provide to the Collateral Custodian an electronic file in a mutually
acceptable electronic format that 

  

 111 

 
contains the related Loan List or that otherwise contains the Loan number and the name of the Obligor with respect to each related Loan. If, at the
conclusion of such review, the Collateral Custodian shall determine that a Loan Document is not executed or in proper form on its face, that any Underlying Note is not in original form as required, that a Loan Document listed on a Loan Checklist for
a Loan File is missing, that a Loan Document contained in the Loan File for a Loan is not referenced on any Loan Checklist for such Loan File, or that any promissory note or mortgage note is not endorsed in blank, the Collateral Custodian shall
promptly notify the Borrower and the Deal Agent of such determination by providing an exception report to such Persons setting forth, with particularity, the lack of execution of such Loan Document(s), that such Loan Document(s) has missing or
mutilated pages, that an original Underlying Note has not been delivered or the fact that such Loan was not referenced on the related Loan List, that a Loan Document listed on a Loan Checklist is missing or that a Loan Document contained in a Loan
File was not referenced on a Loan Checklist for such Loan File or that any promissory note or mortgage note is not endorsed in blank. In addition, unless instructed otherwise in writing by the Borrower and the Deal Agent within ten days of the
Collateral Custodian’s delivery of such report, the Collateral Custodian shall return any Loan File not referenced on such Loan List to the Borrower. Other than the foregoing, the Collateral Custodian shall not have any responsibility for
reviewing any Loan File. On each Reporting Date, (or more frequently, at the request of the Deal Agent) the Collateral Custodian shall deliver to the Borrower and the Deal Agent a cumulative exception report listing all outstanding exceptions and

 In taking and retaining custody of the Loan Files, the
Collateral Custodian shall be acting as the agent of the Deal Agent and the other Secured Parties; provided, that, the Collateral Custodian makes no representations as to the existence, perfection or priority of any Lien on the Loan
Files or the instruments therein; provided, further, that, the Collateral Custodian’s duties as agent shall be limited to those expressly contemplated herein. All Loan Files shall be kept in fire-resistant vaults or
cabinets at the locations specified on Schedule V attached hereto, or at such other office as shall be specified to the Deal Agent and the Borrower by the Collateral Custodian in a written notice delivered at least 45 days prior to such
change. All Loan Files shall be segregated with an appropriate identifying label and maintained in such a manner so as to permit retrieval and access. All Loan Files shall be clearly segregated from any other documents or instruments maintained by
the Collateral Custodian. The Collateral Custodian shall clearly indicate that such Loan Files are the sole property of Borrower, subject to the security interest of the Deal Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties. In performing its duties, the
Collateral Custodian shall use the same degree of care and attention as it employs with respect to similar loan files that it holds as collateral custodian for others. 
 (b) Concerning the Collateral Custodian. 
 (i) Except for its willful misconduct,
gross negligence or bad faith, the Collateral Custodian may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, telegram or other document delivered to it and that in good faith it
reasonably believes to be genuine and that has been signed by the proper party or parties. Except for its willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith, the Collateral Custodian may rely conclusively on and shall be fully protected in acting
upon the written instructions of any designated officer of the Deal Agent. 
  

 112 

 (ii) The Collateral Custodian may consult counsel satisfactory to it and the advice or
opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 
 (iii) The Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good
faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in the case of its willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. 
 (iv) The Collateral Custodian makes no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement) as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Loans or the Loan Documents, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the
validity or value of any of the Loans. The Collateral Custodian shall not be obligated to take any legal action hereunder that might in its judgment involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with an indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it. 
 (v) The Collateral Custodian shall have no duties or responsibilities except such duties and
responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement against the Collateral Custodian. 
 (vi) The Collateral Custodian shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds in the performance of its duties hereunder.

 (vii) It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Collateral Custodian is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming
any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Loans. 
 (c) Release for Servicing. From time to
time and as appropriate for the enforcement or servicing of any of the Transferred Loans, the Collateral Custodian is hereby authorized, upon receipt from the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, of a written request for release of documents and
receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit L and upon receipt from the Deal Agent of its written consent to such request and receipt, to release to the Servicer the related Loan File or the documents set forth in such request and receipt
to the Servicer; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, upon its receipt of written instructions from the Deal Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall cease releasing
documents to the Servicer. All documents so released to the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower shall be held by the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Borrower, the Deal Agent and the other Secured Parties, with respect to their respective
interests, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, shall return to the Collateral Custodian the Loan File or other such documents when the Servicer’s need therefor in connection with such
foreclosure or servicing no longer exists, unless the Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of an additional request for release of documents and receipt certifying such liquidation from the Servicer to the Collateral Custodian in
the form annexed hereto as Exhibit L, the 

  

 113 

 
Servicer’s request and receipt submitted pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.10(c) shall be released by the Collateral
Custodian to the Servicer. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.10(c) to the contrary, in no event shall the Collateral Custodian release any Loan File or part thereof to the Servicer for any reason without the Deal Agent’s
prior written consent. 
 (d) Release for Payment. Upon receipt by the Collateral Custodian of the Servicer’s request for release
of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit L (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment or repurchase have been credited to the appropriate
Collection Account as provided in this Agreement), the Collateral Custodian shall promptly release the related Loan File to the Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower. 
 (e) Collateral Custodian Compensation. As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to a Collateral Custodian Fee from the Servicer. To the extent that such

2.9(a)(1)(v) and 2.9(b)(v). The Collateral Custodian’s entitlement to receive the Collateral Custodian Fee (other than due and unpaid Collateral Custodian Fees owed through such date) shall cease on the earlier to occur of:
(i) its removal as Collateral Custodian or (ii) the termination of this Agreement. 
 (f) Replacement of the Collateral
Custodian. The Collateral Custodian may be replaced by the Borrower with the prior consent of the Deal Agent and each Lender Agent; provided, however, that no such replacement shall be effective until a replacement
Collateral Custodian has been appointed, has agreed to act as Collateral Custodian hereunder and has received all Loan Files held by the previous Collateral Custodian. 
 (g) Release of Loan Documents Following a Lien Release Dividend. To the extent that portions of Transferred Loans are transferred pursuant to a Lien Release Dividend under Section 2.17 and such
portions of Transferred Loans are part of a Permitted Transfer, the Collateral Custodian may, but only with the Deal Agent’s prior written consent, and upon terms and conditions satisfactory to the Deal Agent, including without limitation the
execution by the servicer of such portions of such Transferred Loans of all such documents as the Deal Agent may require, release original Loan Documents (excluding the related original Underlying Note(s)) evidencing the portion of the Transferred
Loan remaining as part of the Collateral) to the servicer of such portions of Transferred Loans for the purposes of enforcing or servicing such Loans in connection with a Permitted Transfer.

determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable Law and (ii) there is no reasonable
action that such Person could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under Applicable Law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer, the Backup Servicer or the Collateral Custodian shall be

enforcement of the rights or interests of the Lenders, or by applicable statutes or regulations, to review such documentation, such access being afforded without charge but only (i) upon two Business Days’ prior written request,
(ii) during normal business hours and (iii) subject to the Servicer’s and the Collateral Custodian’s normal security and confidentiality procedures. From and after the Closing Date and periodically thereafter at the discretion of
the Deal Agent and each Lender Agent, the Deal Agent and each Lender Agent or their respective agents may review the Borrower’s and the Servicer’s collection and administration of the Transferred Loans in order to assess compliance by the
Servicer with the Servicer’s written policies and procedures, as well as with this Agreement and may conduct an audit of the Loans, Loan Documents and Records in conjunction with such a review. Such review shall be reasonable in scope and shall
be completed in a reasonable period of time. The Borrower shall bear the cost of such audits; provided, however, that prior to the date on which a Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not
be required to bear the cost of more than two audits in any 12-month period; and provided, further, that each Lender Agent agrees to cooperate with the Deal Agent in coordinating the timing and scope of such audits. 

Section 7.23. [Reserved]. 
 Section 7.24. Identification of Records. 
 The Servicer shall clearly and unambiguously identify each Loan that
is part of the Collateral and the Related Property in its computer or other records to reflect that the interest in such Loans and Related Property have been transferred to and are owned by the Borrower and that the Deal Agent, as agent for the
Secured Parties, has the interest therein Granted by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement.

 If any one of the following events (a “Servicer Termination Event”) shall occur and be continuing on any

notice of such failure requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the Servicer by the Deal Agent or the Borrower and (ii) the date on which an officer of the Servicer becomes aware thereof; 
 (c) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall
prove to have been incorrect when made in any material respect, and that continues to be unremedied for a period of 30 days after the first to occur of (i) the date on which written notice of such incorrectness requiring the same to be remedied
shall have been given to the Servicer by the Deal Agent or the Borrower and (ii) the date on which the Servicer becomes aware thereof; 
 (d) the Servicer shall fail in any material respect to service the Transferred Loans in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy; 
 (e) an Insolvency Event shall occur with respect to the Servicer or any of its Affiliates; 
 (f) the Servicer agrees to or

Deal Agent and each Lender Agent; 
 (g) any financial or asset information reasonably requested by the Deal Agent or the other Secured
Parties as provided herein is not provided as requested within five Business Days of the receipt by the Servicer of such request; 
 (h) one
or more judgments, orders, decrees or arbitration awards shall be entered against the Servicer involving in the aggregate a liability (to the extent not paid when due or covered by insurance) of $15,000,000 or more and all such judgments, orders,
decrees or arbitration awards shall not have been paid and satisfied, vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within 30 days from the entry thereof; 
 (i) the Servicer fails to make any payment of any principal of or any interest on any debt or other obligations when due (after giving effect to any periods of grace) which is outstanding in a principal amount of more

 124

is made without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Deal Agent; or 
 (l) the Servicer shall fail to maintain its status as a

 then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as

subject to the provisions of Section 7.26, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable set-up and conversion costs associated with the transfer of
servicing rights to the Successor Servicer. 
 Section 7.26. Appointment of Successor Servicer. 
 (a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice pursuant to Section 7.25, the Servicer shall continue to perform
all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Deal Agent to the Servicer and the Backup Servicer in writing. The Deal Agent may at the time described in the
immediately preceding sentence, in its sole discretion, appoint the Backup Servicer as the Servicer hereunder, and the Backup Servicer shall on such date assume all obligations of the Servicer hereunder, and all authority and power of the Servicer
under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer; provided, however, that any successor Servicer shall not (i) be responsible or liable for any past actions or omissions of the outgoing Servicer or
(ii) be obligated to make Servicer Advances or (iii) have any liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior servicer including the initial Servicer. In the event that the Deal Agent does not
so appoint the Backup Servicer, there is no Backup Servicer or the Backup Servicer is unwilling or unable to assume such obligations on such date, the Required Lenders shall as promptly as possible appoint a successor servicer (in such capacity, the
“Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Deal Agent. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and has not accepted its
appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Deal Agent shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution having a net worth of not less than U.S. $100,000,000 and whose
regular business includes the servicing of Loans as the Successor Servicer hereunder. 
 (b) Upon its appointment as successor to the
Servicer, the Backup Servicer (subject to Section 7.26(a)) or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer (except as otherwise expressly provided for herein) with respect to servicing
functions under this Agreement, shall assume all Servicing Duties hereunder and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the 

  

 125 

 
terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer,
as applicable. Any Successor Servicer shall be entitled, with the prior consent of the Deal Agent, to appoint agents to provide some or all of its duties hereunder, provided that no such appointment shall relieve such Successor
Servicer of the duties and obligations of the Successor Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and that any such subcontract may be terminated upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event. 
 (c) All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of the Servicer under
this Agreement and shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer, and, without limitation, the Successor Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all
documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Successor Servicer in effecting the
termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing on the Collateral. 
 (d) Upon the Backup Servicer
receiving notice that it is required to serve as the Servicer hereunder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.26, the Backup Servicer will promptly begin the transition to its role as Servicer. 
 (e) The Backup Servicer shall be entitled to receive its reasonable costs incurred in transitioning to Servicer. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any successor Servicer is authorized to accept and rely on all of the
accounting, records (including computer records) and work of the prior Servicer relating to the Loans (collectively, the “Predecessor Servicer Work Product”) without any audit or other examination thereof, except, in all cases,
where audit, examination or other inquiry would be required in the exercise of reasonable care or the degree of skill and attention the successor Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable loans that it services for itself and others, and the
successor Servicer shall have no liability for the acts and omissions of the prior Servicer; provided, however, that if any successor Servicer discovers any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or
procedure (collectively, “Errors”) in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product, then such successor Servicer shall use its best commercially reasonable efforts to correct such Errors. Wells Fargo agrees to use its best efforts to
prevent further errors, inaccuracies or omissions relating to Errors (collectively, “Continued Errors”) previously discovered by the successor Servicer and shall, with the prior consent of the Deal Agent, use its best commercially
reasonable efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future Continued Errors. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to recover its costs incurred pursuant to this
Section 7.26(f). 
 Section 7.27. Market Servicing Fee. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that a Successor Servicer is appointed, the Servicing Fee shall equal the market rate for
comparable servicing duties to be 

  

 126 

 
fixed upon the date of such appointment by such Successor Servicer with the consent of the Deal Agent; in the event that the Backup Servicer becomes the
Successor Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall solicit three bids, with a copy to the Borrower and the Deal Agent, from not less than three entities experienced in the servicing of loans similar to the Loans and that are not Affiliates of the Backup
Servicer, the Servicer or the Borrower, and the Servicing Fee shall be equal to the average of the fees proposed as determined by the Backup Servicer with the consent of the Deal Agent (the “Market Servicing Fee”). 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 SECURITY INTEREST

 Section 8.1. Grant of Security Interest. 
 (a) The parties hereto intend that this Agreement constitute a security agreement and the transactions effected hereby constitute secured loans by the
Secured Parties to the Borrower under Applicable Law. For such purpose, the Borrower hereby Grants as of the Closing Date to the Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, a lien and continuing security interest in all of the Borrower’s
right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of the obligations under) all Collateral (including any Hedging Agreements), whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired by the Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, to secure
the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations of the Borrower arising in connection with this Agreement and each other Transaction Document,
whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent. The Grant of a security interest under this Section 8.1 does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an
assumption by the Deal Agent or any of the other Secured Parties of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Person in connection with any or all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Originator and the Borrower shall remain liable under the Transferred Loans and related Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of their respective duties and obligations thereunder to the
same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Originator and the Borrower from any of its duties or
obligations under the Transferred Loans and other Collateral, and (iii) none of the Deal Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Loans and other Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the
Deal Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. 
 (b) The Borrower and the Deal Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, hereby acknowledge and agree that the security interest Granted hereby in the
Collateral constitutes continuing collateral security for all of the Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising. 
  

 127 

 Section 8.2. Release of Lien on Loans. 
 If no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, at the same time as (i) any Transferred Loan included in the
Collateral expires by its terms and all amounts in respect thereof have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the appropriate Collection Account, (ii) any Transferred Loan becomes a Prepaid Loan and all amounts in respect
thereof have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the appropriate Collection Account, (iii) such Transferred Loan is replaced in accordance with Section 2.19(a), (iv) such Transferred Loan is repurchased in
accordance with Section 2.19(b) or 2.4(c), (v) such Transferred Loan is subject to a Lien Release Dividend in accordance with Section 2.17, or (vi) this Agreement terminates in accordance with
Section 12.6, the Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, will be deemed to automatically release its interest in such Loan without representation or warranty express or implied. In connection with any such prepayment, release or
substitution, the Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties will, after the deposit by the Servicer of the Proceeds of such event into the appropriate Collection Account, at the sole expense of the Servicer, execute and deliver to the Servicer
any assignments, bills of sale, termination statements and any other releases and instruments as the Servicer may reasonably request in order to effect the release and transfer of the Related Property if such Related Property is not also serving as
Collateral to secure the repayment of another Transferred Loan; provided, that, the Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, will make no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such Related Property in
connection with such prepayment, release or substitution. Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall diminish the Servicer’s obligations pursuant to Section 7.6 with respect to the Proceeds of any such sale. 
 Section 8.3. [Reserved]. 
 Section 8.4. Further Assurances. 
 The provisions of Section 12.12 shall apply to the security
interest granted under Section 8.1 as well as to the Advances, Swingline Advances and Alternative Currency Swingline Advances hereunder. 
 Section 8.5. Remedies. 
 Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Deal Agent and
the other Secured Parties shall have, with respect to the Collateral granted pursuant to Section 8.1, and in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Deal Agent and the other Secured Parties under this Agreement or
other Applicable Law, all rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC. 
 Section 8.6. Waiver of Certain
Laws. 
 Each of the Borrower and the Servicer agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone
claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or
delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any 

  

 128 

 
part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the Secured Parties thereof, and each of the
Borrower and the Servicer, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or
assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Deal Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such parcels
as the Deal Agent or such court may determine. 
 Section 8.7. Power of Attorney. 
 Each of the Borrower and the Servicer, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event, hereby irrevocably appoints the Deal Agent
its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement, including without limitation the following
powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto,
(c) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Borrower and the Servicer hereby ratifying and confirming all that
such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (d) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document (including any Hedging Agreement).
Nevertheless, if so requested by the Deal Agent, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Deal Agent all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be
designated in any such request. The appointment by each of the Servicer and the Borrower of the Deal Agent as its attorney-in-fact shall be evidenced by its execution and delivery of a Power of Attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit
Q-1 and Q-2, respectively.

 134 

 
Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party, and (b) under any
Federal, state or local income or franchise taxes or any other Tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or penalties with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith) required to be paid by such Indemnified Party in
connection herewith to any taxing authority. The provisions of this indemnity shall run directly to and be enforceable by the applicable Indemnified Party subject to the limitations hereof. If the Servicer has made any indemnity payment pursuant to
this Section 10.2 and such payment fully indemnified the recipient thereof and the recipient thereafter collects any payments from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts, the recipient shall repay to the Servicer an amount equal
to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such indemnified amounts. 
 (b) Any amounts subject to the indemnification
provisions of this Section 10.2 shall be paid by the Servicer within two Business Days following such Person’s demand therefor. 
 (c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 10.2 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable to such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and Servicer on the other hand
but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 
 (d) The obligations of the
Servicer under this Section 10.2 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Deal Agent, the Backup Servicer or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement. 
 (e) The parties hereto agree that the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall not be interpreted to provide recourse to the Servicer against
loss by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency (or other credit condition) of, or default by, related Obligor on, any Loan. 
 (f) Any
indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall not be payable from the Collateral. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 THE DEAL AGENT AND LENDER AGENTS 
 Section 11.1. The Deal Agent. 
 (a) Authorization and Action. The Lenders hereby designate and
appoint WCM as the Deal Agent hereunder, and authorize the Deal Agent to take such actions as agent on their behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Deal Agent by the terms of this Agreement together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. The Deal Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with the Lenders, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities on the part of the Deal Agent shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist for the Deal Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Deal 

  

 135 

 
Agent shall act solely as agent for the Lenders and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency
with or for the Borrower or any of its successors or assigns. The Deal Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Deal Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or
Applicable Law. The appointment and authority of the Deal Agent hereunder shall terminate at the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations. 
 (b) Delegation of Duties. The Deal Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.
The Deal Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. 
 (c) Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Deal Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with
this Agreement (except for its, their or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct or, in the case of the Deal Agent, the breach of its obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement), or (ii) responsible in any manner to
the Lenders or the other Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower contained in Article IV of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or in any certificate, report, statement or
other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document, for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any
other document furnished in connection herewith, for any failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III. The Deal Agent shall not be under any obligation to
the Lenders or the other Secured Parties to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the
properties, books or records of the Borrower. The Deal Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Unmatured Termination Event, Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event unless the Deal Agent has received notice from the Borrower or a
Secured Party. 
 (d) Reliance. The Deal Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying,
upon any document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Deal Agent. The Deal Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other document furnished in connection
herewith unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders, as it deems appropriate, or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders, provided that unless and until the Deal Agent shall have
received such advice, the Deal Agent may take or refrain from taking any action as the Deal Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders. The Deal Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from
acting, in accordance with a request of the Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders. 
  

 136 

 (e) Non-Reliance on Deal Agent. The Lenders expressly acknowledge that neither the Deal
Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Deal Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs
of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Deal Agent. Each Lender represents and warrants to the Deal Agent that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon the Deal Agent, and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its own decision to
enter into this Agreement and any Hedging Agreement, as the case may be. 
 (f) The Deal Agent in its Individual Capacity. The
Deal Agent and any of its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as though the Deal Agent were not the Deal Agent hereunder. With respect to
the Advances made pursuant to this Agreement, the Deal Agent and each of its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as the Purchasers and may exercise the same as though it were not the Deal Agent and in such context
the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Deal Agent in its individual capacity. 
 (g) Successor Deal
Agent. The Deal Agent may, upon five days’ notice to the Borrower and each Lender, and the Deal Agent will, upon the direction of all Lenders, resign as Deal Agent. If the Deal Agent shall resign, then the Lenders, during such five day
period, shall appoint a successor agent. If for any reason no successor Deal Agent is appointed by the Lenders during such five day period, then effective upon the expiration of such five day period, the Borrower or the Deal Agent, as applicable,
shall make all payments it otherwise would have made to the Deal Agent in respect of the Obligations or under any fee letter delivered in connection herewith directly to the Lenders and for all purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. After
any retiring Deal Agent’s resignation hereunder as Deal Agent, the provisions of Article X and this Article XI shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Deal Agent
under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the resignation or removal of WCM as the Deal Agent, Wachovia, as the Swingline Lender and as a Hedge Counterparty and as an Institutional Lender, shall continue to be a Secured Party hereunder. 
 Section 11.2. The Lender Agents. 
 (a) Authorization and Action. Each Lender, respectively, hereby designates and appoints its applicable Lender Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under each other Transaction Document, and authorizes such Lender Agent to
take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Lender Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Such Lender
Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document, or any fiduciary relationship with its related Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities on the part of such Lender Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist for such Lender Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other
Transaction Documents, such Lender Agent shall act solely as agent for its related Lender and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any 

  

 137 

 
obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Borrower or the Servicer or any of the Borrower’s or the Servicer’s successors or
assigns. Such Lender Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes such Lender Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or Applicable Law. The appointment and authority of such
Lender Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Obligations. Each Lender, respectively, hereby authorizes the Deal Agent to execute each of the UCC financing statements on behalf of such Lender (the terms of which
shall be binding on such Lender). 
 (b) Delegation of Duties. Each applicable Lender Agent, respectively, may execute any of
its duties under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Such Lender Agent shall not be responsible for
the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. 
 (c) Exculpatory
Provisions. Neither any applicable Lender Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document (except for its, their or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to its related Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by
the Borrower or the Servicer contained in Article IV, any other Transaction Document or any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith, or for any failure of
the Borrower or the Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in this Agreement, or for the perfection, priority, condition, value or sufficiency of any collateral pledged in
connection herewith. Such Lender Agent shall not be under any obligation to its related Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or the Servicer. Such Lender Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event unless such Lender Agent has
received notice from the Borrower or its related Lender. 
 (d) Reliance by Lender Agents. Each applicable Lender Agent,
respectively, shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon
advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Lender Agent. Such Lender Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing
to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of its related Lender as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by its Lender;
provided, that, unless and until such Lender Agent shall have received such advice, such Lender Agent may take or refrain from taking any action, as such Lender Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of its related
Lender. 

  

 138 

 
Each applicable Lender Agent, respectively, shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of
its related Lender, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon its related Lender. 
 (e)
Non-Reliance on Lender Agent. Each applicable Lender, respectively, expressly acknowledges that neither its related Lender Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any
representations or warranties to it and that no act by such Lender Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Borrower or the Servicer, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such
Lender Agent. Each applicable Lender, respectively, represents and warrants to its related Lender Agent that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon such Lender Agent, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other
Transaction Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto. 
 (f) Lender Agents in their Respective Individual
Capacities. Each applicable Lender Agent, respectively and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as though such Lender Agent
were not a Lender Agent hereunder. With respect to Advances pursuant to this Agreement, such Lender Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were
not a Lender Agent, and in such context the terms “Lender,” and “Lenders,” shall include such Lender Agent in its individual capacity. 
 (g) Successor Lender Agents. Each applicable Lender Agent, respectively, may, upon five days’ notice to the Borrower and its related Lender, and such Lender Agent will, upon the direction of its
related Lender (other than such Lender Agent, in its individual capacity) resign as the Lender Agent for such Lender. If such Lender Agent shall resign, then its related Lender during such five day period shall appoint a successor agent. If for any
reason no successor agent is appointed by such Lender during such five day period, then effective upon the termination of such five day period, the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations directly to such Lender, and for all
purposes shall deal directly with such Lender. After any retiring Lender Agent’s resignation hereunder as a Lender Agent, the provisions of Articles XI and XII shall inure to its benefit with respect to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was a Lender Agent under this Agreement.

Parties, hereunder to all property comprising the Collateral. The Borrower shall deliver or, shall cause the Servicer to deliver, to the Deal Agent file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as
provided above, as soon as available following such recording, registration or filing. The Borrower and the Servicer shall cooperate fully in connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required
to fulfill the intent of this Section 12.12. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly
execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may reasonably be necessary or desirable, or that the Deal Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interest Granted to the
Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in the Collateral, or to enable the Deal Agent or the other Secured Parties to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder. 
  

 145 

 (c) If the Borrower or the Servicer fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder after five Business
Days’ notice from the Deal Agent or any other Secured Party, the Deal Agent and any other Secured Party may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the Deal Agent’s or Secured Party’s
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower (if the Servicer that fails to so perform is the Borrower or an Affiliate thereof) as provided in Article X, as applicable. The Borrower
irrevocably authorizes the Deal Agent and appoints the Deal Agent as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Borrower, (i) to execute on behalf of the Borrower as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Deal
Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing
statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement in such offices as the Deal Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Lenders in the
Collateral. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. 
 (d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Borrower will, on or prior to August 15 of each year unless the Collection Date shall have occurred, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Deal Agent an Opinion of Counsel for Borrower, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Deal Agent, confirming and updating the opinion delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to perfection and otherwise to the effect that the Collateral hereunder continues to be subject to a perfected security interest in favor of
the Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, subject to no other Liens of record except as provided herein or otherwise permitted hereunder, which opinion may contain usual and customary assumptions, limitations and exceptions. 
 Section 12.13. Confidentiality. 
 (a) Each of the Deal Agent, each other Secured Party and the Borrower shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and the other confidential proprietary information
with respect to the other parties hereto and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that each such party and its officers and
employees may (i) disclose such information to its external accountants, investigators, auditors, attorneys, investors, potential investors or other agents engaged by such party in connection with any due diligence or comparable activities with
respect to the transactions and Collateral contemplated herein and the agents of such Persons, as required to be publicly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or as required by Applicable Law, (ii) disclose the existence of this
Agreement, but not the financial terms thereof and (iii) disclose the Agreement and such information in any suit, action, proceeding or investigation (whether in law or in equity or pursuant to arbitration) involving any of the Transaction
Documents (including any Hedging Agreement) for the purpose of defending itself, reducing its liability, or protecting or exercising any of its claims, rights, remedies, or interests under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents
(including any Hedging Agreement). 
  

 146 

 (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower hereby consents to the disclosure of
any nonpublic information with respect to it for use in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Transaction Documents (i) to the Deal Agent or the other Secured Parties by each other, (ii) by the Deal Agent or the
other Secured Parties to any prospective or actual Eligible Assignee or participant of any of them or (iii) by the Deal Agent or the Lenders to any Rating Agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity
enhancement or first loss protection to a Lender and to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing (and, by such provider (1) to any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction
over such provider, as required by such authority, (2) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such provider or (3) in response to any subpoena or other legal process), provided that each
such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information and agrees to be bound hereby. In addition, the Lenders, the Deal Agent and each Hedge Counterparty may disclose any such nonpublic information pursuant to any law, rule,
regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings. 
 (c) The Borrower and the
Servicer each agrees that it shall not (and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to) issue any news release or make any public announcement pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents without
the prior written consent of the Deal Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such news release or public announcement is required by law, in which case the Borrower or the Servicer (unless prohibited by Applicable Law) shall
consult with the Deal Agent prior to the issuance of such news release or public announcement. The Borrower and the Servicer each may, however, disclose the general terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to trade creditors, suppliers and other similarly situated Persons so long as such disclosure is not in the form of a news release or public announcement. 
 Section 12.14. Third Party Beneficiaries. 
 Except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, the parties hereto hereby manifest their intent that no third party, other than the Hedge Counterparties, shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and specifically that the Obligors are not third party beneficiaries of
this Agreement. 
 Section 12.15. Execution in Counterparts; Severability; Integration. 
 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed
shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement contains the final and complete
integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior oral or written
understandings other than any fee letter delivered to the Deal Agent and the Lenders. 
  

 147 

 Section 12.16. Waiver of Setoff. 
 Each of the parties hereto (other than each Conduit Lender) hereby waives any right of setoff it may have or to which it may be entitled under this
Agreement from time to time against any Conduit Lender or its assets. 
 Section 12.17. Assignments by the Lenders.

 (a) With the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), each Lender may at any time
assign, or grant a security interest or sell a participation interest in, any Advance (or portion thereof) to any Person; provided, that, (i) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required following the occurrence of a
Termination Event, (ii) in the case of an assignment of the Structured Note with respect to such Lender, the assignee (other than any assignee described in the following provision) executes and delivers to the Servicer and the Deal Agent a
fully-executed Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto and a Transferee Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit V hereto, (iii) any Institutional Lender shall not need prior consent to at any
time assign, or grant a security interest or sell a participation interest in, any Advance (or portion thereof) to an Affiliate of its related Lender Agent and (iv) any Conduit Lender shall not need prior consent (x) to at any time assign
all of its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement and its Structured Note to a Liquidity Bank, Conduit Assignee or an Affiliate of its related Lender Agent or (y) to at any time assign, or grant a security interest or sell a
participation interest in, any Advance (or portion thereof) to a Liquidity Bank, Conduit Assignee or an Affiliate of its related Lender Agent. The Swingline Lender may at any time assign, or grant a security interest or sell a participation in, any
Swingline Advance (or any portion thereof) to any Person; provided, that, in the case of an assignment of the Swingline Note, the assignee executes and delivers to the Servicer and the Deal Agent a fully-executed Assignment and
Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto and a Transferee Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit V hereto. The parties to any such assignment, grant or sale of a participation interest by a Lender shall execute and
deliver to the Deal Agent, for its acceptance and recording in its books and records, such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties and the Deal Agent. The Borrower shall not assign or delegate, or grant any interest in, or
permit any Lien to exist upon, any of the Borrower’s rights, obligations or duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Deal Agent and each Hedge Counterparty. 
 (b) Without limiting the foregoing, each Conduit Lender may, from time to time, with prior or concurrent notice to the Borrower and Servicer, in one
transaction or a series of transactions, assign all or a portion of any Advance and its rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party to a Conduit Assignee. Upon and to the extent of such
assignment by the Conduit Lender to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the assigned portion of such Advance, (ii) the related administrator for such Conduit Assignee will act as the Lender Agent for such
Conduit Assignee, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to a Lender Agent hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents, (iii) such Conduit Assignee (and any related commercial paper issuer, if such Conduit
Assignee does not itself issue commercial paper) and their respective liquidity support provider(s) and credit support provider(s) and other related parties shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to the Conduit 

  

 148 

 
Lender and its Liquidity Banks herein and in the other Transaction Documents (including any limitation on recourse against such Conduit Assignee or related
parties, any agreement not to file or join in the filing of a petition to commence an insolvency proceeding against such Conduit Assignee, and the right to assign to another Conduit Assignee as provided in this paragraph), (iv) such Conduit
Assignee shall assume all (or the assigned or assumed portion) of the Conduit Lender’s obligations, if any, hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, and the Conduit Lender shall be released from such obligations, in each case to the
extent of such assignment, and the obligations of the Conduit Lender and such Conduit Assignee shall be several and not joint, (v) all distributions in respect of the Advances shall be made to the applicable agent or Lender Agent, as
applicable, on behalf of the Conduit Lender and such Conduit Assignee on a pro rata basis according to their respective interests, (vi) the definition of the term “CP Rate” with respect to the portion of the Advances funded
with commercial paper issued by the Conduit Lender (or the related commercial paper issuer, if such Conduit Assignee does not itself issue commercial paper) from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of “CP
Rate” applicable to the Conduit Lender on the basis of the interest rate or discount applicable to commercial paper issued by such Conduit Assignee (rather than the Conduit Lender), (vii) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, (viii) if such Conduit Assignee takes an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the Conduit Lender, such Conduit Assignee
shall become such “Conduit Lender” for purposes hereof and, if such Conduit Assignee takes an assignment of only a portion of the rights and obligations of the Conduit Lender, such Conduit Assignee shall, together with such Conduit
Lender, each be a “Conduit Lender” and the Institutional Lender relating to each such Conduit Lender shall be the Institutional Lender paired with such Conduit Lender on Annex A for purposes hereof (including for purposes of
Section 2.1(b)), and (ix) if requested by the Deal Agent or Lender Agent with respect to the Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the Deal Agent
or such Lender Agent may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing. No assignment by the Conduit Lender to a Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of any Advance shall in any way diminish the related Institutional
Lenders’ obligation under Article II to fund any Advance not funded by the Conduit Lender or such Conduit Assignee. 
 (c) In the event
that a Conduit Lender makes an assignment to a Conduit Assignee in accordance with clause (b) above, the Institutional Lenders for such Conduit Lender: (i) if requested by the applicable Lender Agent, shall terminate their
participation in the applicable Liquidity Purchase Agreement to the extent of such assignment, (ii) if requested by the applicable Lender Agent, shall execute (either directly or through a participation agreement, as determined by the
applicable Lender Agent) the program support agreement related to such Conduit Assignee, to the extent of such assignment, the terms of which shall be substantially similar to those of the participation or other agreement entered into by such
Institutional Lender with respect to the applicable program support agreement (or which shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Lender Agent and the applicable Institutional Lenders), (iii) if requested by such Conduit
Lender, shall enter into such agreements as requested by such Conduit Lender pursuant to which they shall be obligated to provide funding to the Conduit Assignee on substantially the same terms and conditions as is provided for in this Agreement in
respect of such Conduit Lender (or which agreements shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to such Conduit Lender and the Institutional Lenders), and (iv) shall take such actions as the Deal Agent shall reasonably request in connection
therewith. 
  

 149 

 Section 12.18. Heading and Exhibits. 
 The headings of the various Articles and Sections herein are for purposes of references only and shall not otherwise affect the meaning or
interpretation of any provision hereof. The schedules and exhibits attached hereto and referred to herein shall constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement for all purposes. 
 Section 12.19. Sharing of Payments on Transferred Loans Subject to the Retained Interest Provisions. 
 (a) With respect to any Transferred Loan (including, without limitation, any Revolving Loan) subject to the Retained Interest provisions of this
Agreement, the Borrower will own only the principal portion of such Transferred Loan outstanding as of the applicable Cut-off Date. Principal Collections received by the Servicer on any such Transferred Loan will be allocated first to the portion of
such Transferred Loan owned by the Borrower, until the principal amount of such portion is reduced to zero, and then to the portion not owned by the Borrower; provided, however, that (i) if a payment with respect to such
Transferred Loan is Delinquent beyond any applicable grace period or (ii) an Allocation Adjustment Event occurs, then Principal Collections received on (x) the applicable Transferred Loan (in the case of clause (i) above) or
(y) all the Transferred Loans subject to the Retained Interest provisions of this Agreement (in the case of clause (ii) above) will be allocated between the portion owned by the Borrower and the portion not owned by the Borrower,
pro rata based upon the outstanding principal amount of each such portion. 
 (b) With respect to any Transferred Loan (including,
without limitation, any Revolving Loan) subject to the Retained Interest provisions of this Agreement, Interest Collections received by the Servicer on such Transferred Loan will be allocated between the portion not owned by the Borrower and the
portion owned by the Borrower on a pro rata basis according to the outstanding principal amount of each such portion. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, any payments made by any Hedge Counterparty pursuant to the terms of the Hedge Agreements shall be solely for the benefit of the
Borrower, subject to the lien of the Deal Agent and the other Secured Parties, and shall not be subject to the pro rata sharing provisions of Section 12.19(a). In furtherance of the foregoing clause of this paragraph, the
Originator hereby releases any right, title, or interest it may have in or to any payment made or to be made at any time by any Hedge Counterparty pursuant to the terms of any Hedge Agreement. 
 Section 12.20. 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, without limitation, opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax 

  

 150 

 
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; provided, however, that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as
other information, the provisions of this Section 12.20 shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 Section 12.21. Conduit Lender as Institutional Lender. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Conduit Lender may execute this Agreement as both a Conduit Lender and an Institutional Lender and, in such event, such Conduit Lender shall have the rights and
obligations (without duplication) of both a Conduit Lender and an Institutional Lender set forth herein. In no event shall the foregoing prevent a Conduit Lender from exercising its rights to assign or transfer some or all of its Structured Note,
Commitment or Advances to one or more Liquidity Banks. 
 Section 12.22. Institutional Lenders and Conduit Lenders.

 (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Institutional Lender may execute this Agreement without having a related
Conduit Lender. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Conduit Lender may not execute this Agreement without a related
Institutional Lender concurrently executing this Agreement. 
 Section 12.23. YC SUSI Trust Additional Institutional Lender
Provisions. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of Annex C shall be solely applicable,
and in the event of conflict with any of provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be controlling, with respect to YC SUSI Trust, the YC SUSI Conduit Lender and the Institutional Lenders related to any of the foregoing.

 Section 12.24. Judgment Currency. 
 This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or any Foreign Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”), and payment in a specified city or country of
the Specified Currency (the “Specified Place”) is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Advances, Swingline Advances or Alternative Currency Swingline Advances
denominated in the Specified Currency. The payment obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall not be discharged or satisfied by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the
extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose
of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be the rate at which in
accordance with normal banking procedures the Deal Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next 

  

 151 

 
preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Deal Agent, any Lender or
any other Person hereunder or under any other Transaction Document (in this Section called an “Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the
extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified
Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrower hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such
Entitled Person on demand, in the Specified Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in the Specified Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.

 (a) YC SUSI Assignment Amounts. At any time on or prior to the Commitment Termination
Date, if the YC SUSI Lender Agent on behalf of the YC SUSI Conduit Lender so elects, the Borrower hereby irrevocably requests and directs that the YC SUSI Conduit Lender assign, and the YC SUSI Conduit Lender does hereby assign, effective on the YC

Section 1.1 of this Annex C and the Borrower hereby agrees to pay the amounts described in Section 1.1(b) of this Annex C; provided, however, that unless such assignment is an assignment of all of
the YC SUSI Conduit Lender’s interest in its Advances outstanding and the YC SUSI Structured Note in whole on or after the YC SUSI Conduit Investment Termination Date, no such assignment shall take place pursuant to this Section 1.1
of this Annex C if a Termination Event described in Section 9.1(b) of the Agreement or due to a breach of Section 4.1(hh) of the Agreement shall then exist; and provided, further, that no such
assignment shall take place pursuant to this Section 1.1 of Annex C at a time when an Insolvency Event with respect to the YC SUSI Conduit Lender exists. No further documentation or action on the part of the YC SUSI Conduit Lender
or the Borrower shall be required to exercise the rights set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, other than the giving of the notice by the YC SUSI Lender Agent on behalf of the YC SUSI Conduit Lender referred to in such sentence and the
delivery by the YC SUSI Lender Agent of a copy of such notice to each YC SUSI Institutional Lender (the date of the receipt of any such notice being the “YC SUSI Assignment Date”). Each YC SUSI Institutional Lender hereby agrees,
unconditionally and irrevocably and under all circumstances, without setoff, counterclaim or defense of any kind, to pay the full amount of its YC SUSI Assignment Amount on such YC SUSI Assignment Date to the YC SUSI Conduit Lender in immediately
available funds to an account designated by the YC SUSI Lender Agent. Upon payment of its YC SUSI Assignment Amount, each YC SUSI Institutional Lender shall acquire an interest in the YC SUSI Structured Note and Advances outstanding of the YC SUSI
Conduit Lender equal to its pro rata share (based on the outstanding portions of the Advances outstanding funded by it) of the YC SUSI Institutional Lender Percentage thereof. Upon any assignment in whole by the YC SUSI Conduit Lender to the YC SUSI
Institutional Lenders on or after the YC SUSI Conduit Investment Termination Date as contemplated hereunder, the YC SUSI Conduit Lender shall cease to make any additional Advances under this Agreement. At all times prior to the YC SUSI Conduit
Investment Termination Date, nothing herein shall prevent the YC SUSI Conduit Lender from making subsequent Advances under this Agreement, in its sole discretion, following any assignment pursuant to this Section 1.1 of this Annex
C or from making more than one assignment pursuant to this Section 1.1 of this Annex C. 
 (b) Borrower’s
Obligation to Pay Certain Amounts; Additional YC SUSI Assignment Amount. The Borrower shall pay to the YC SUSI Lender Agent, for the account of the YC SUSI Conduit Lender, in connection with any assignment by the YC SUSI Conduit Lender to the YC

 
SUSI Institutional Lenders pursuant to this Section 1.1 of this Annex C, on the Payment Date following the effective date of any such
assignment, in accordance with Section 2.9 or Section 2.10 of the Agreement, as applicable, an aggregate amount equal to all Interest to accrue from the date of such assignment through the end of the current Accrual Period to
the extent attributable to the portion of the Advances outstanding so assigned to the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders (as determined immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment and without duplication of any Interest payable to the YC SUSI
Conduit Lender in respect of such Advances), plus all other Obligations (other than the Advances outstanding and other than any Interest not described above, without duplication of any amounts payable to the YC SUSI Conduit Lender in respect
of such Obligations). If the Borrower fails to make payment of such amounts on the Payment Date following any such assignment by the YC SUSI Conduit Lender to the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders, such amount shall be paid by the YC SUSI Institutional
Lenders (in accordance with their respective YC SUSI Institutional Lender’s Special Pro Rata Shares) to the YC SUSI Conduit Lender as additional consideration for the interests assigned to the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders and the amount of the
Advances outstanding under the YC SUSI Structured Note held by the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders shall be increased by an amount equal to the additional amount so paid by the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders. 
 (c) Administration of Agreement after Assignment from YC SUSI Conduit Lender to YC SUSI Institutional Lenders following the YC SUSI Conduit Investment
Termination Date. After any assignment in whole by the YC SUSI Conduit Lender to the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders pursuant to this Section 1.1 of this Annex C at any time on or after the YC SUSI Conduit Investment Termination Date (and the
payment of all amounts owing to the YC SUSI Conduit Lender in connection therewith), all rights of the YC SUSI Lender Agent for the YC SUSI Conduit Lender set forth in this Annex C and the Agreement shall be given to the Lender Agent on behalf of
the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders. 
 (d) Payments to Agent’s Account. After any assignment in whole by the YC SUSI Conduit
Lender to the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders pursuant to this Section 1.1 of this Annex C at any time on or after the YC SUSI Conduit Investment Termination Date, all payments to be made under this Annex C and the Agreement by the
Borrower or the Servicer to the YC SUSI Conduit Lender shall be made to the Lender Agent’s account for the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders as such account shall have been notified to the Borrower and the Servicer. 
 (e) Recovery of Advances. In the event that the aggregate of the YC SUSI Assignment Amounts paid by the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders pursuant to
this Section 1.1 of this Annex C on any YC SUSI Assignment Date occurring on or after the YC SUSI Conduit Investment Termination Date is less than the aggregate Advances outstanding of the YC SUSI Conduit Lender on such YC SUSI
Assignment Date, then to the extent Collections thereafter received by the Lender Agent for the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders hereunder in respect of the Advances outstanding exceed the aggregate of the unrecovered YC SUSI Assignment Amounts and
Advances outstanding funded by the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders, such excess shall be remitted by the Lender Agent for the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders to the YC SUSI Conduit Lender (or to the YC SUSI Lender Agent on its behalf) for the account of
the YC SUSI Conduit Lender. 
  

 C-2 

 Section 1.2. Downgrade of YC SUSI Institutional Lenders. 
 (a) Downgrades Generally. If at any time on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date, the short term debt rating of any YC SUSI Institutional
Lender shall be “A-2” or “P-2” with negative credit implications from S&P or Moody’s, respectively, such YC SUSI Institutional Lender, upon request of the YC SUSI Lender Agent, shall, within thirty (30) days of such
request and with ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to (but not consent of) the Borrower, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another financial institution (which institution’s short term debt shall be rated at least
“A-2” or “P-2” from S&P or Moody’s, respectively, and which shall not be so rated with negative credit implications and is acceptable to the YC SUSI Conduit Lender and the YC SUSI Lender Agent). If the short term debt
rating of a YC SUSI Institutional Lender shall be “A-3” or “P-3”, or lower, from S&P or Moody’s, respectively (or such rating shall have been withdrawn by S&P or Moody’s), such YC SUSI Institutional Lender, upon
request of the YC SUSI Lender Agent, shall, within five (5) Business Days of such request, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another financial institution (which institution’s short term debt shall be rated at least
“A-2” or “P-2”, from S&P or Moody’s, respectively, and which shall not be so rated with negative credit implications and which is acceptable to the YC SUSI Conduit Lender and the YC SUSI Lender Agent). In either such
case, if any such YC SUSI Institutional Lender shall not have assigned its rights and obligations under this Agreement within the applicable time period described above (in either such case, the “YC SUSI Required Downgrade Assignment
Period”), the YC SUSI Lender Agent shall have the right to require such YC SUSI Institutional Lender to pay upon one (1) Business Day’s notice at any time after the YC SUSI Required Downgrade Assignment Period (and each such YC
SUSI Institutional Lender hereby agrees in such event to pay within such time) to the YC SUSI Lender Agent an amount equal to such YC SUSI Institutional Lender’s unused Commitment (a “YC SUSI Downgrade Draw”) for deposit by the
YC SUSI Lender Agent into an account, in the name of the YC SUSI Lender Agent (a “YC SUSI Downgrade Collateral Account”), which shall be in satisfaction of such YC SUSI Institutional Lender’s obligations to make Advances and to
pay its YC SUSI Assignment Amount upon an assignment from the YC SUSI Conduit Lender in accordance with Section 1.1 of this Annex C; provided, however, that if, during the YC SUSI Required Downgrade Assignment
Period, such YC SUSI Institutional Lender delivers a written notice to the YC SUSI Lender Agent of its intent to deliver a direct pay irrevocable letter of credit pursuant to this proviso in lieu of the payment required to fund the YC SUSI Downgrade
Draw, then such YC SUSI Institutional Lender will not be required to fund such YC SUSI Downgrade Draw. If any YC SUSI Institutional Lender gives the YC SUSI Lender Agent such notice, then such YC SUSI Institutional Lender shall, within one
(1) Business Day after the YC SUSI Required Downgrade Assignment Period, deliver to the YC SUSI Lender Agent a direct pay irrevocable letter of credit in favor of the YC SUSI Lender Agent in an amount equal to the unused portion of such YC SUSI
Institutional Lender’s Commitment, which letter of credit shall be issued through an United States office of a bank or other financial institution (i) whose short-term debt ratings by S&P and Moody’s are at least equal to the
ratings assigned by such statistical rating organization to the Commercial Paper Notes issued by the commercial paper conduit providing funding for Advances by YC SUSI Trust under the Agreement and (ii) that is acceptable to the YC SUSI Conduit
Lender and the YC SUSI Lender Agent. Such letter of credit shall provide that the YC SUSI Lender Agent may draw thereon for payment of any Advance or YC SUSI Assignment Amount payable by such YC SUSI Institutional Lender which is not paid hereunder
when required, shall expire no earlier than the Commitment Termination Date and shall otherwise be in form and substance acceptable to the YC SUSI Lender Agent. 
  

 C-3 

 (b) Application of Funds in YC SUSI Downgrade Collateral Account. If any YC SUSI Institutional
Lender shall be required pursuant to Section 1.2(a) of this Annex C to fund a YC SUSI Downgrade Draw, then the YC SUSI Lender Agent shall apply the monies in the YC SUSI Downgrade Collateral Account applicable to such YC SUSI
Institutional Lender’s Special Pro Rata Share of Advances required to be made by the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders, to any YC SUSI Assignment Amount payable by such YC SUSI Institutional Lender pursuant to Section 1.1 of this
Annex C and to any purchase price payable by such YC SUSI Institutional Lender pursuant to Section 1.3(b) of this Annex C at the times, in the manner and subject to the conditions precedent set forth in this Annex C.
The deposit of monies in such YC SUSI Downgrade Collateral Account by any YC SUSI Institutional Lender shall not constitute an Advance or the payment of any YC SUSI Assignment Amount (and such YC SUSI Institutional Lender shall not be entitled to
interest on such monies except as provided below in this Section 1.2(b) of this Annex C, unless and until (and then only to the extent that) such monies are used to fund Advances or to pay any YC SUSI Assignment Amount or purchase
price pursuant to Section 1.3(b) of this Annex C pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 1.2(b) of this Annex C. The amount on deposit in such YC SUSI Downgrade Collateral Account shall be invested by the
YC SUSI Lender Agent in YC SUSI Eligible Investments and such YC SUSI Eligible Investments shall be selected by the YC SUSI Lender Agent in its sole discretion. The YC SUSI Lender Agent shall remit to such YC SUSI Institutional Lender, on the last
Business Day of each month, the income actually received thereon. Unless required to be released as provided below in this subsection, Collections received by the YC SUSI Lender Agent in respect of such YC SUSI Institutional Lender’s portion of
the Advances shall be deposited in the YC SUSI Downgrade Collateral Account for such YC SUSI Institutional Lender. Amounts on deposit in such YC SUSI Downgrade Collateral Account shall be released to such YC SUSI Institutional Lender (or the stated
amount of the letter of credit delivered by such YC SUSI Institutional Lender pursuant to Section 1.2(a) of this Annex C may be reduced) within one Business Day after each Payment Date following the Termination Date to the extent
that, after giving effect to the distributions made and received by the Lenders on such Payment Date, the amount on deposit in such YC SUSI Downgrade Collateral Account would exceed such YC SUSI Institutional Lender’s Special Pro Rata Share
(determined as of the day prior to the Termination Date) of the sum of all portions of Advances then funded by the YC SUSI Conduit Lender, plus Interest thereon. All amounts remaining in such YC SUSI Downgrade Collateral Account shall be
released to such YC SUSI Institutional Lender no later than the Business Day immediately following the earliest of (i) the effective date of any replacement of such YC SUSI Institutional Lender or removal of such YC SUSI Institutional
Lender as a party to this Agreement, (ii) the date on which such YC SUSI Institutional Lender shall furnish the YC SUSI Lender Agent with confirmation that such YC SUSI Institutional Lender shall have short-term debt ratings of at least
“A-2” or “P-2” from S&P and Moody’s, respectively, without negative credit implications, and (iii) the Commitment Termination Date (or if earlier, the Commitment Termination Date in effect prior to any renewal
pursuant to Section 1.3 of this Annex C to which such YC SUSI Institutional Lender does not consent but only after giving effect to any required purchase pursuant to Section 1.3(b) of this Annex C). Nothing in
this Section 1.2 of this Annex C shall affect or diminish in any way any such downgraded YC SUSI Institutional Lender’s Commitment to the Borrower or the YC SUSI Conduit Lender or such downgraded YC SUSI Institutional
Lender’s other obligations and liabilities hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. 
  

 C-4 

 (c) Program Support Agreement Downgrade Provisions. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Section 1.2, a YC SUSI Institutional Lender shall not be required to make a YC SUSI Downgrade Draw (or provide for the issuance of a letter of credit in lieu thereof) pursuant to Section 1.2(a) of this Annex C at a
time when such YC SUSI Institutional Lender has a downgrade collateral account (or letter of credit in lieu thereof) established pursuant to the Liquidity Purchase Agreement relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to which it is
a party in an amount at least equal to its unused Commitment, and the YC SUSI Lender Agent may apply monies in such downgrade collateral account in the manner described in Section 1.3(b) of this Annex C as if such downgrade
collateral account were a YC SUSI Downgrade Collateral Account. 
 Section 1.3. Non-Renewing YC SUSI Institutional
Lenders. 
 (a) If at any time the Borrower requests that the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders renew their Commitments hereunder and some
but less than all the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders consent to such renewal within 30 days of the Borrower’s request, the Borrower may arrange for an assignment to one or more financial institutions of all the rights and obligations hereunder
of each such non-consenting YC SUSI Institutional Lender in accordance with Section 12.17 of the Agreement. Any such assignment shall become effective on the then-current Commitment Termination Date. Each YC SUSI Institutional Lender
which does not so consent to any renewal shall cooperate fully with the Borrower in effectuating any such assignment. 
 (b) If at any time
the Borrower requests that the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders extend the Commitment Termination Date hereunder and some but less than all the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders consent to such extension within 30 days after the Borrower’s request,
and if none or less than all the Commitments of the non-renewing YC SUSI Institutional Lenders are assigned as provided in Section 1.3(a) of this Annex C, then (without limiting the obligations of all the YC SUSI Institutional
Lenders to make Advances and pay any YC SUSI Assignment Amount prior to the Commitment Termination Date in accordance with the terms hereof) the YC SUSI Conduit Lender may sell to the non-renewing YC SUSI Institutional Lenders an interest in its
Advances and the YC SUSI Structured Note hereunder for an aggregate purchase price equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum aggregate YC SUSI Assignment Amounts which would be payable if the YC SUSI Conduit Lender assigned its entire interest in
the YC SUSI Structured Note at that time under Section 1.1 of this Annex C, and (ii) the aggregate available Commitments of the non-renewing YC SUSI Institutional Lenders, which purchase price shall be paid solely by the
non-renewing YC SUSI Institutional Lenders, pro rata according to their respective Commitments. Following the payment of such purchase price, (i) the extended Commitment Termination Date shall be effective with respect to the renewing YC SUSI
Institutional Lenders, (ii) the Facility Amount shall automatically be reduced by the aggregate of the Commitments of all non-renewing YC SUSI Institutional Lenders, and (iii) this Agreement and the Commitments of the renewing YC SUSI
Institutional Lenders shall remain in effect in accordance with their terms notwithstanding the expiration of the Commitments of the non-renewing YC SUSI Institutional Lenders. Prior to the Termination Date, all amounts which, under the Agreement
are to be applied in reduction of the Advances under the YC SUSI 

  

 C-5 

 
Structured Note, up to the aggregate Advances sold to the non-renewing YC SUSI Institutional Lenders as described above in this subsection, shall be
distributed to the non-renewing YC SUSI Institutional Lenders ratably according to the aggregate investments held by them, in reduction of such investments. On and after the Termination Date, each non-renewing YC SUSI Institutional Lender shall be
entitled to receive distributions as otherwise provided in the Agreement, such that all distributions of Collections pursuant to the Agreement thereafter shall be allocated among the non-renewing YC SUSI Institutional Lenders and the other YC SUSI
Institutional Lenders in accordance with each such YC SUSI Institutional Lender’s pro rata share (based on its Advances as of the Termination Date) of the YC SUSI Institutional Lender Percentage of the Advances. When (after the expiration of
the Commitments of the non-renewing YC SUSI Institutional Lenders) the aggregate of the Advances under the YC SUSI Structured Note described above in this subsection shall have been reduced to zero and all accrued Interest allocable thereto and all
other Obligations owing to such YC SUSI Institutional Lenders shall have been paid to such YC SUSI Institutional Lenders in full, then such Lender shall cease to be parties to this Agreement for any purpose 
 Section 1.4. YC SUSI Institutional Lender’s Commitment. 
 At no time will the YC SUSI Conduit Lender have any obligation to fund any Advance. At all times on and after the YC SUSI Conduit Investment Termination
Date, all Advances shall be made by the Lender Agent on behalf of the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders. At any time when the YC SUSI Conduit Lender has rejected a request for an Advance, the YC SUSI Lender Agent shall so notify the YC SUSI
Institutional Lenders and the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders shall make such Advance, on a pro rata basis, in accordance with their respective YC SUSI Institutional Lender’s Special Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in
the Agreement to the contrary, no YC SUSI Institutional Lender shall be obligated to provide the Deal Agent or the Borrower with funds in connection with an Advance in an amount that would result in the portion of the Advances then funded by it
exceeding its Commitment then in effect (minus the unrecovered principal amount of such Institutional Investor’s investments in the YC SUSI Structured Note pursuant to the Liquidity Purchase Agreement to which it is a party). The
obligation of each YC SUSI Institutional Lender to remit its YC SUSI Institutional Lender’s Special Pro Rata Share of any such Advance shall be several from that of each other YC SUSI Institutional Investor, and the failure of any YC SUSI
Institutional Lender to so make such amount available to the Deal Agent shall not relieve any other YC SUSI Institutional Lender of its obligation hereunder. 
 For purposes of this Annex C, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 
 “YC
SUSI Assignment Amount”: With respect to a YC SUSI Institutional Lender at the time of assignment pursuant to Section 1.1 of this Annex C, an amount equal to the least of (a) such YC SUSI Institutional Lender’s

Institutional Lender’s investments in the YC SUSI Structured Note pursuant to the Liquidity Purchase Agreement to which it is a party); and (c) in the case of an assignment on or after the YC SUSI Conduit Investment Termination Date, the
sum of the YC SUSI Institutional Lender’s Special Pro Rata Share of the YC SUSI Conduit Lender Percentage of (i) the Aggregate Outstanding 

  

 C-6

(iii) any amounts in respect of Deemed Collections required to be paid by the Borrower at such time.

Investment Termination Date”: The date of the delivery by the YC SUSI Conduit Lender to the Borrower of written notice that the YC SUSI Conduit Lender elects, in its sole discretion, to commence the amortization of the Advances outstanding

the Advances funded by the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders and the denominator of which is the Advances outstanding under the YC SUSI Structured Note at such time; provided that at all times on and after the first YC SUSI Assignment Date
occurring on or after the YC SUSI Conduit Investment Termination Date, the YC SUSI Institutional Lender Percentage means 100%.

SUSI Institutional Lenders”: Bank of America and any other financial institution that becomes a party to the Agreement as an Institutional Lender related to the YC SUSI Trust and YC SUSI Conduit Lender in accordance with
Section 2.1(e) of the Agreement.

terminated, its pro rata share of the YC SUSI Institutional Lender Percentage of the Advances outstanding under the Structured Note of the YC SUSI Institutional Lenders.

OTHER PROHIBITED TRANSACTION EXEMPTION IS APPLICABLE TO THE PURCHASE, HOLDING AND DISPOSITION OF THIS NOTE BY THE ACQUIRER. 
 THIS NOTE IS
NOT PERMITTED TO BE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, EXCHANGED OR OTHERWISE PLEDGED OR CONVEYED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN FUNDING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN. 
 THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS NOTE WILL VARY AS ADVANCES ARE MADE AND PAID DOWN. ACCORDINGLY, THE OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS NOTE AT ANY TIME
MAY BE LESS THAN THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT SHOWN ON THE FACE THEREOF. 
 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ACS FUNDING TRUST I, a Delaware statutory trust (the
“Borrower”), promises to pay to [[NAME OF LENDER AGENT] (“Lender Agent”), as the agent for [NAME OF CONDUIT LENDER] (“Conduit Lender”) or Conduit Lender’s successors or assigns]] [NAME OF
INSTITUTIONAL LENDER], the principal sum of [CLOSING DATE COMMITMENT AMOUNT] DOLLARS ($[            ],000,000) or, if less, the unpaid principal amount of the aggregate loans
(“Advances”) made by [Conduit Lender] [Institutional Lender] to the Borrower pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement (as defined below), as set forth on the attached Schedule, on the dates
specified in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement, and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance on each day that such unpaid principal amount is outstanding at the applicable Interest Rate related
to such Advance as provided in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement on each Payment Date. 
 This Note is
issued pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 23, 2005 (as amended, modified, waived, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Third Amended and Restated Loan
Funding and Servicing Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, American Capital Strategies, Ltd., as originator and as the servicer (the “Servicer”), the Conduit Lenders and Institutional Lenders from time to time party
thereto, the Lender Agents from time to time party thereto, Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, as the deal agent, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as the swingline lender, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the backup servicer and as the
collateral custodian. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note are used with the meanings ascribed to them in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement. 
 Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Note, if at any time the rate of interest payable by the Borrower under this Note, when combined
with any and all other charges provided for in this Note, in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement or in any other document (to the extent such other charges would constitute interest for the purpose of any applicable
law limiting interest that may be charged on this Note), exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under applicable law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be exceeded the rate of
interest under this Note shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate. If at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable 

  

 B-1-2 

 
under this Note is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall continue to pay interest under this Note at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time
as the total interest paid by the Borrower is equal to the total interest that would have been paid had applicable law not limited the interest rate payable under this Note. In no event shall the total interest received by [Conduit Lender]
[Institutional Lender] under this Note exceed the amount which [Conduit Lender] [Institutional Lender] could lawfully have received had the interest due under this Note been calculated since the date of this Note at the Maximum Lawful Rate.

 Payments of the principal of, and interest on, Advances represented by this Note shall be made by the Borrower to the holder hereof by
wire transfer of immediately available funds in the manner and at the address specified for such purpose as provided in Article 2 of the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement, or in such manner or at such other address as
the holder of this Note shall have specified in writing to the Borrower for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of this Note or the making of any notation on this Note. 
 If any payment under this Note falls due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day
(except as provided in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement) and interest shall be payable on any principal so extended at the applicable Interest Rate. 
 If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount hereof or (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any other amounts payable hereunder
shall not be paid when due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to the Base Rate plus 2.0%, in each case from the date of such non-payment to (but
excluding) the date such amount is paid in full. 
 Portions or all of the principal amount of the Note shall become due and payable at the
time or times set forth in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement. Any portion or all of the principal amount of this Note may be prepaid, together with interest thereon (and as set forth in the Third Amended and
Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement, certain costs and expenses of [Conduit Lender] [Institutional Lender]) at the time and in the manner set forth in, but subject to the provisions of, the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and
Servicing Agreement. 
 Except as provided in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement, the Borrower expressly
waives presentment, demand, diligence, protest and all notices of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Note. 
 All amounts evidenced by
this Note, [Conduit Lender]’s [Institutional Lender]’s making such Advance and all payments and prepayments of the principal hereof and the respective dates and maturity dates thereof shall be endorsed by the [Lender Agent] [Institutional
Lender] on the schedule attached hereto and made a part hereof or on a continuation thereof which shall be attached hereto and made a part hereof, or otherwise recorded by the [Lender Agent] [Institutional Lender] in its internal records;
provided, however, that the failure of the [Lender Agent] [Institutional Lender] to make such a notation shall not in any way limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Note as provided in the Third Amended
and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement. 
  

 B-1-3 

 The holder hereof may sell, assign, transfer, negotiate, grant participations in or otherwise dispose of
all or any portion of any Advances made by [Conduit Lender] [Institutional Lender] and represented by this Note and the indebtedness evidenced by this Note. 
 This Note is secured by the security interests granted pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement. The holder of this Note[, as agent for [Conduit
Lender],] is entitled to the benefits of the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement and may enforce the agreements of the Borrower contained in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement and exercise
the remedies provided for by, or otherwise available in respect of, the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement, all in accordance with, and subject to the restrictions contained in, the terms of the Third Amended and
Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement. If a Termination Event shall occur and be continuing, the unpaid balance of the principal of all Advances, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be declared, and become due and payable in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement. 
 This Note is one of the
“Structured Notes” referred to in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement. This Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

American Capital Strategies, Ltd. (the “Originator”) and transferred to ACS Funding Trust I (the “Borrower”) in connection with [Obligor] (the “Obligor”) (collectively, the “Loan”)

promissory note(s) and related indorsements or, with respect to a Noteless Loan, Loan Register with a certificate of the Servicer are in our possession and will be forwarded to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Collateral Custodian (the
“Collateral Custodian”) or as otherwise directed 

	 	 
in writing to                     (hereinafter
referred to as “Borrower’s Counsel”) by the Deal Agent, for receipt within two (2) business days after the funding date of the transaction; 

  

	 	C.	Within ten (10) business days after the closing, all remaining Security Documents which are in our possession and indicated on Schedule 1 attached hereto, will be forwarded to
the Collateral Custodian; and 

  

	 	D.	Notwithstanding any contrary instruction from the Originator in the event the Loan is funded, it will follow the written direction of the Deal Agent with regard to the original
promissory note(s) in its possession, provided that in the event it reasonably believes that a dispute exists as to custody of any Security Documents, it may deposit them with a court of competent jurisdiction and be relieved of its obligations
hereunder with respect to any and all documents so deposited. 

 The Collateral Custodian, the Deal Agent, the Originator and
Borrower’s Counsel acknowledge and agree that: 
  

	 	1.	The security interest and the rights in the Security Documents granted to the Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, are paramount and superior to the rights of the
Originator. 

  

	 	2.	Borrower’s Counsel shall not be required to perform any duties other than the duties expressly set forth in this letter. No implied obligations or duties shall be inferred by
any other agreement, written or verbal, or any representation made by any party. 

  

	 	3.	Borrower’s Counsel is authorized to comply with and obey laws, orders, judgments, decrees and regulations of any governmental authority, court, tribunal, or arbitrator. If
Borrower’s Counsel complies with any such law, order, judgment, decree, or regulation Borrower’s Counsel shall not be liable to the Collateral Custodian, the Deal Agent or the Originator or to any other person even if such law, order,
judgment, decree or regulation is subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated, found to have been entered without jurisdiction, or found to be in violation or beyond the scope of the law. 

  

	 	4.	Borrower’s Counsel shall be responsible hereunder solely to hold the original promissory note(s) for the Deal Agent’s account and other documents for Collateral
Custodian’s and the Originator’s account and to deliver the same in accordance with the terms of this letter. 

  

	 	5.	Borrower’s Counsel may act relative hereto upon the advice of counsel in reference to any matter in connection herewith and shall not be liable for any mistakes of fact or
errors of judgment, or for any acts or omissions of any kind unless caused by its own willful misconduct or gross negligence. 

  

	 	6.	 Borrower’s Counsel shall be entitled to rely or act upon any notice, direction, instrument or document believed by Borrower’s Counsel to be genuine and to
be 

  

 I-2 

	 	 
executed and delivered by the proper person and shall have no obligation to verify any statements contained in any notice, instrument or document or the
accuracy or due authorization of the execution of any notice, instrument or document. 

  

	 	7.	Borrower’s Counsel shall not be responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for (a) the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of any document, agreement or
instrument delivered to it, (b) the form of execution of any such document, agreement or instrument, (c) the identity, authority or rights of any person executing or delivering any such document, agreement or instrument, or (d) the
terms and conditions of any instrument pursuant to which the parties may act. 

  

	 	8.	Borrower’s Counsel may serve and shall continue to serve as counsel to the Originator in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan and other matters, and
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, may represent the Originator (or any affiliate) as its counsel in any action, suit or other proceeding in which Collateral Custodian, Deal Agent or Originator (or any affiliate) may be involved.

  

	 	9.	Borrower’s Counsel shall be deemed to have satisfied any delivery requirement set forth herein if it shall have deposited the relevant documents for uninsured overnight
delivery (properly addressed) with Federal Express, UPS or other overnight courier of national standing.
