variable funding certificate (each such certificate, a “Variable Funding Certificate” or “VFC”), in
substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 or B-2, as applicable, (i) on the Closing
Date, to each Purchaser Agent at its address set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement,
and (ii) on

56

 

each date on which an Additional Purchaser purchases a Variable Funding Certificate, to
the related Additional Agent at the address designated by such Additional Agent. Each Variable
Funding Certificate shall evidence an undivided ownership interest (and the Seller does hereby
sell, transfer, assign and convey such undivided ownership interest to the Purchasers) in the
Collateral purchased by a Purchaser in an amount equal, at any time, to the percentage equivalent
of a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the Advances outstanding under the applicable VFC on
such day, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total aggregate Advances Outstanding on such
day. Interest shall accrue, and each VFC shall be payable, as described herein; provided that (1)
the aggregate amount outstanding under all VFCs at any one time shall not exceed the Facility
Amount and (2) the aggregate amount outstanding under all VFCs at any one time, excluding the
Tandem Advance, shall not exceed the Adjusted Facility Amount.

     (b) On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, from the Closing Date to, but excluding
the Termination Date, the Seller may, at its option, request the Purchasers to make advances of
funds under the VFCs (each, an “Advance”) and the Purchasers shall make such Advance in an amount
equal to their Pro Rata Share of such requested Advance; provided that in no event shall the
Purchasers make any Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance either: (i) the aggregate
Advances Outstanding hereunder would exceed the lesser of (x) the Facility Amount or (y) the
Maximum Availability, or (ii) the aggregate Adjusted Advances Outstanding hereunder would exceed
the lesser of (x) the Adjusted Facility Amount or (y) the Adjusted Maximum Availability.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement to
the contrary, no Purchaser shall be obligated to provide its Purchaser Agent or the Seller with
aggregate funds in connection with an Advance that would exceed such Purchaser’s unused Commitment
then in effect. Each Advance made by the Purchasers hereunder is subject to the interests of the
Hedge Counterparties under Section 2.9(a)(1) and Section 2.10(a)(2) of this
Agreement.

     (c) On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, on the Closing Date the Seller shall
request the Purchasers to make a one-time advance of funds under the VFCs in an amount not to
exceed $308,000,000, the proceeds of which will be applied by the Seller to acquire the Tandem
Asset (such Advance, the “Tandem Advance”), and the Purchasers shall make such Tandem Advance in an
amount equal to their Pro Rata Share of such requested Tandem Advance; provided that the Tandem
Asset shall be an Eligible Asset so long as it is acquired with the proceeds of the Tandem Advance
on the Closing Date.

     (d) The Seller may, within 60 days but not less than 45 days prior to the expiration of any
Liquidity Agreement or this Agreement, by written notice to each applicable Purchaser Agent and the
Administrative Agent, make a request (i) for each applicable Liquidity Bank to extend the term of
such Liquidity Agreement for an additional period of 364 days and (ii) for each applicable
Purchaser Agent to extend the date set forth in clause (c) of the definition of Termination
Date for an additional period of 364 days. Each applicable Purchaser Agent will give prompt notice
to the applicable Purchaser and each applicable Liquidity Bank of its receipt of such request, and
each Purchaser and each Liquidity Bank shall make a determination, in their sole discretion, not
less than 45 days prior to the expiration of the date set forth in clause (c) of the
definition of Termination Date or the expiration of any Liquidity Agreement (as applicable) as to
whether or not it will agree to the extension requested. The failure of a Purchaser Agent or a
Liquidity Bank to provide timely notice of its decision to the Seller shall be deemed to

57

 

constitute
a refusal by such Purchaser or such Liquidity Bank (as applicable) to extend the date set forth in
clause (c) of the definition of Termination Date or the term of the Liquidity Agreement,
respectively. In the event the term of any Liquidity Agreement or the date set forth in clause
(c) of the definition of Termination Date is not extended for a period of up to 364 days, the
Termination Date shall be extended with respect to and with the consent of each applicable
Purchaser Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) for a period of 90 days and notice
of such termination shall be provided by the Administrative Agent to the Collateral Custodian, the
Originator, the Seller and the Servicer. Only one such 90 day extension of the Termination Date
with respect to the applicable Purchaser, as described in this Section 2.1(d), may occur.
The Seller confirms that each Liquidity Bank and each Purchaser, in their sole and absolute
discretion, without regard to the value or performance of the Collateral or any other factor, may
elect not to extend any Liquidity Agreement or the date set forth in clause (c) of the
definition of Termination Date (as applicable).

     (e) The Seller may, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, request that an
existing Purchaser increase its Commitment in connection with a corresponding increase in the
Adjusted Facility Amount or, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, add additional
Persons as Purchasers; provided that: (i) if the addition of any Purchaser or the increase of any
Purchaser’s Commitment would cause the aggregate Commitments of the Purchasers to exceed
$900,000,000, such addition or increase may be effected only with the consent of the Administrative
Agent and each Purchaser Agent and (ii) the Commitment of any Purchaser may only be increased with
the prior written consent of such Purchaser. Each new Purchaser and Purchaser Agent shall become a
party hereto by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Seller an Additional
Purchaser Agreement.

     (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement and the VFCs to
be issued thereunder shall constitute a single revolving debt facility with a single maturity and
in no event shall Seller effect a sale of any VFC to an existing Purchaser (or to an additional
Purchaser) or take any other action under the Agreement that would cause Seller to have outstanding
one or more debt obligations with two or more maturities hereunder. For purposes of this section,
debt obligations have “two or more maturities” if they have different stated maturities or if the
holders of the debt obligations possess different rights concerning the acceleration of or delay in
the maturities of the obligations.

     Section 2.2 [Reserved].

58

identifying each CMBS Security or Loan by type and whether such Loan is a Senior Secured ABL Loan,
Senior Secured Loan, B-Note Loan, Mezzanine Loan, Acquired Loan, Assigned Loan, or Participation
Loan) and (iv) include a representation that all conditions precedent for an Advance described in
Article III hereof have been met. Each Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable.

     (b) On the date of each Advance, each Purchaser shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable
conditions set forth in Article III, make available to the Seller in same day funds, at
such bank or other location reasonably designated by Seller in its Borrowing Notice given pursuant
to this Section 2.3, an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of, the least of (i) the amount
requested by the Seller for such Advance, (ii) an amount equal to, in the case of the initial
Funding Date, the Availability and on any Funding Date thereafter, the Adjusted Availability on
such Funding Date or (iii) in the case of the initial Funding Date, the Facility Amount and on any
Funding Date thereafter, the Adjusted Facility Amount.

     (c) On each Funding Date, the obligation of each Purchaser to remit its Pro Rata Share of each
Advance shall be several from that of each other Purchaser and the failure of any Purchaser to so
make such amount available to the Seller shall not relieve any other Purchaser of its obligation
hereunder.

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

     (a) The Seller may, upon at least 20 Business Days’ prior written notice (such notice to be
received by the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York
City, New York time) on such day) to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent, terminate
in whole or reduce in part the portion of the Facility Amount that exceeds the sum of the Advances
Outstanding, accrued Interest, Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs; provided that each partial
reduction of the Facility Amount shall be in an aggregate amount equal to at least $1,000,000.
Each notice of reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) shall be
irrevocable.

     (b) The Seller may, upon one Business Days’ prior written notice (such notice to be received
by the Administrative Agent, each Hedge Counterparty and each Purchaser Agent no later than 2:00
p.m. (New York City, New York time) on such day) to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser
Agent, reduce the Advances Outstanding by remitting, in accordance with their Pro Rata Share, to
each Purchaser Agent, for payment to the respective Purchasers, (i) cash and (ii) instructions to
reduce such Advances Outstanding, related accrued Interest, Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage
Costs; provided that no such reduction shall be given effect (1) unless the Seller has complied
with the terms of any Hedging Agreement requiring 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 Seller has
paid all Hedge Breakage Costs and any payments owing to the relevant Hedge Counterparty for any
such termination (2) if a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred, is
continuing or would result from such reduction. Any reduction of the Advances Outstanding shall be
in a minimum amount of $250,000. Any

59

 

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 Purchaser Agents shall apply such amounts first to the pro rata reduction of the
Advances Outstanding, second to the payment of related accrued Interest on the amount of
the Advances Outstanding to be repaid by paying such amounts to the respective Purchasers, and
third to the payment of any Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs and any other payments
owing to the applicable Hedge Counterparty in respect of the termination of any Hedge Transaction.
Any notice relating to any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) shall be irrevocable.

     (c) If on any day (i) the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, does not own
or have a valid and perfected first priority security interest in any of the Collateral or (ii) any
Asset which has been represented by the Seller to be an Eligible Asset is later determined not to
have been an Eligible Asset as of the related Cut-Off Date, upon the earlier of the Seller’s
receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent or the Seller becoming aware thereof and the
Seller’s failure to cure such breach within 30 days, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on
such day a collection (a “Deemed Collection”) of such Asset in full and shall on such day pay to
the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers and each Hedge Counterparty, an amount equal
to (x) (1) the Outstanding Asset Balance of the Asset (or, in the case of the Tandem Asset, the
Tandem Outstanding Asset Balance) to be applied to the pro rata reduction of the principal of each
VFC plus (y) any Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs 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 and retransfer of the related Asset contemplated by this
Section 2.4(c). In connection with any such Deemed Collection, the Administrative Agent,
as agent for the Secured Parties, shall automatically and without further action, be deemed to
transfer to the Seller, free and clear of any Lien created by the Administrative Agent, all of the
right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in, to,
and under the Asset with respect to which the Administrative Agent has received such Deemed
Collection, but without any other representation and warranty of any kind, express or implied.

     Section 2.5 Determination of Interest.

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

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

60

 

     Section 2.6 Percentage Evidenced by each Variable Funding Certificate.

     The variable percentage ownership interest in the Collateral represented by each VFC shall be
initially computed on its date of purchase. Thereafter, until the Termination Date, each VFC shall
be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each day prior to the Termination Date.
The variable percentage ownership interest in the Collateral represented by each VFC as computed
(or deemed to be recomputed) as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the
Termination Date shall remain constant at all times on and after the Termination Date. The
variable percentage ownership interest in the Collateral represented by each VFC shall become zero
when its Advances and Interest have been indefeasibly paid in full.

     Section 2.7 [Reserved].

     Section 2.8  Notations on Variable Funding Certificates.

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

     (9) any remaining amount shall be distributed to the Seller.

     Section 2.11 Collections and Allocations.

     (a) Collections. The Servicer shall promptly identify any collections received as
being on account of Interest Collections, Principal Collections or other Collections and shall
transfer, or cause to be transferred, all Collections received directly by it or on deposit in the
form of available funds in the Lock-Box Accounts to the Collection Account by the close of business
on the second Business Day after such Collections are received. In transferring Collections to the
Collection Account, the Servicer shall segregate Principal Collections and transfer the same to the
corresponding Principal Collections Account. The Servicer shall make such deposits or payments on
the date indicated therein by wire transfer, in immediately available funds. The Servicer shall
further include a statement as to the amount of Principal Collections and Interest Collections on
deposit in the Collection Account on each Reporting Date in the Monthly Report delivered pursuant
to Section 6.10(b).

     (b) Initial Deposits. On the Closing Date and on each Addition Date thereafter, the
Servicer will deposit (in immediately available funds) into the Collection Account all Collections
received after the applicable Cut-Off Date and through and including the Closing Date or Addition
Date, as the case may be, in respect of Eligible Assets being transferred to and included as part
of the Collateral on such date.

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

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

earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) thereon shall be retained or deposited into the
Collection Account and shall be applied pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.9 and
Section 2.10.

64

 

     Section 2.12 Payments, Computations, Etc.

     (a) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid or deposited by the
Seller or the Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no
later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City, New York time) on the day when due in lawful money of the
United States in immediately available funds to the applicable Purchaser Agent’s Account and if not
received before such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Seller shall, to
the extent permitted by law, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all amounts not paid or
deposited when due hereunder at 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand; provided
that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law.
Such interest shall be for the account of, and distributed to, each applicable Purchaser. All
computations of interest and all computations of Interest and other fees hereunder shall be made on
the basis of a year consisting of 360 days (other than calculations with respect to the Base Rate
which shall be based on a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number
of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

     (b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business
Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time
shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of Interest or any fee payable
hereunder, as the case may be. For avoidance of doubt, to the extent that Available Funds are
insufficient on any Payment Date to satisfy the full amount of any Increased Costs pursuant to
Section 2.9(a)(8) or Section 2.10(a)(8), such unpaid amounts shall remain due and
owing and shall accrue Interest until repaid in full.

     (c) If any Advance requested by the Seller and approved by the applicable Purchaser and the
Purchaser Agents, pursuant to Section 2.3 is not, for any reason made or effectuated, as
the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Seller shall indemnify the applicable
Purchaser against any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by the applicable Purchaser
including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits, net of anticipated
profits in the reemployment of such funds in the manner determined by each Purchaser), cost or
expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired
by the applicable Purchaser to fund or maintain such Advance.

     Section 2.13 Optional Repurchase.

     At any time following the Termination Date when the Borrowing Base is less than 15% percent of
the Borrowing Base as of the Termination Date, the Seller may notify the Administrative Agent and
each Purchaser Agent in writing of its intention to purchase all remaining Collateral; provided
that all Hedge Transactions have been terminated in accordance with their terms. On the Payment
Date next succeeding any such notice, the Seller shall purchase all such Collateral for a price
equal to the Aggregate Unpaids and the proceeds of such purchase will be deposited into the
Collection Account and paid in accordance with Section 2.10.

65

 

     Section 2.14 Fees.

     (a) The Servicer on behalf of the Seller shall pay in accordance with Section
2.9(a)(5) and Section 2.10(a)(5), as applicable, to the applicable Purchaser Agent from
the Collection Account to the extent funds are available on each Payment Date, monthly in arrears,
the applicable Program Fee and the applicable Commitment Fee agreed to between the Seller and such
Purchaser Agent in the relevant Purchaser Fee Letter and the relevant Additional Agent Fee Letter,
as applicable.

     (b) The Servicer shall be entitled to receive a fee (the “Servicing Fee”), monthly in arrears
in accordance with Section 2.9(a)(3) and Section 2.10(a)(3), as applicable, which
fee shall be equal to the sum of (a) the product of (i) the Servicing Fee Rate applicable to
Eligible Assets which are not Workout Assets, (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Asset Balance
(excluding Workout Assets), as of the first day of the immediately preceding Collection Period and
(iii) the actual number of days in such Collection Period divided by 360, and (b) the product of
(i) the Servicing Fee Rate applicable to Workout Assets, (ii) the sum of the Outstanding Asset
Balances of all Workout Assets, as of the first day of the immediately preceding Collection Period
and (iii) the actual number of days in such Collection Period divided by 360.

     (c) The Backup Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Backup Servicing Fee in accordance
with Section 2.9(a)(4) and Section 2.10(a)(4), as applicable.

     (d) The Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to receive the Collateral Custodian Fee in
accordance with Section 2.9(a)(4) and Section 2.10(a)(4), as applicable.

     (e) The Seller shall pay to Dechert LLP as counsel to the Administrative Agent, on the Closing
Date, its reasonable estimated fees and out-of-pocket expenses in immediately available funds and
shall pay all additional reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of Dechert LLP within 30
Business Days after receiving an invoice for such amounts.

     Section 2.15 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.

     (a) If either (i) the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change
by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation or (ii) the compliance by an Affected Party with any guideline or request from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (a)
subject an Affected Party to any Tax (except for Taxes on the overall net income of such Affected
Party), duty or other charge with respect to any ownership interest in the Collateral, or any right
to make Advances hereunder, or on any payment made hereunder, (b) impose, modify or deem applicable
any reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement imposed by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve requirement, if any,
included in the determination of Interest), special deposit or similar requirement against assets
of, deposits with or for the amount of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party or (c) impose any
other condition affecting the ownership interest in the Collateral conveyed to the Purchasers
hereunder or the Purchasers’ rights hereunder, the result of which is to increase the cost to any
Affected Party or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under
this Agreement, then within ten days after demand by

66

 

such Affected Party (which demand shall be
accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Servicer shall pay (and to
the extent the Servicer does not make such payment the Seller shall pay) directly to such Affected
Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional
or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered.

     (b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law,
guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any
law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other governmental
authority or agency (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation,
compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that
which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance
(taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by
an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, within ten days
after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth
the basis for such demand), the Servicer shall pay (and to the extent the Servicer does not make
such payment the Seller shall pay) directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, if
the issuance of Interpretation No. 46 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or any other
change in accounting standards or the issuance of any other pronouncement, release or
interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the assets and
liabilities of the Originator or Seller with the assets and liabilities of the Administrative
Agent, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or any Liquidity Bank, such event shall constitute a
circumstance on which such Affected Party may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section
2.15.

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

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

     (e) If the applicable Purchaser shall notify their respective Purchaser Agent that a
Eurodollar Disruption Event as described in clause (a) of the definition of “Eurodollar
Disruption Event” has occurred, the applicable Purchaser Agent shall in turn so notify the Seller,
whereupon all Advances Outstanding of the affected Purchaser in respect of which Interest accrues
at the

67

 

Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall immediately be converted into Advances Outstanding in respect
of which Interest accrues at the Base Rate.

     Section 2.16 Taxes.

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

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

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

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

68

 

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

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

     Section 2.17 Assignment of the Sale Agreement.

     The Seller hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties hereunder, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to, but none of its
obligations under, the Sale Agreement and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection
therewith. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Seller hereby assigns to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties its right to indemnification under
Article VIII of the Sale Agreement. The Seller confirms that the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the sole right to enforce the Seller’s rights and remedies
under the Sale Agreement and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith
for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

     Section 2.18 Substitution of Assets.

     On any day prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event (and after the Termination Date at
the discretion of the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Purchaser Agents), the Seller
may, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.18 and subject to the other
restrictions contained herein, replace any Asset other than the Tandem Asset with one or more
Eligible Assets (each, a “Substitute Asset”); provided that no such replacement shall occur unless
each of the following conditions is satisfied as of the date of such replacement and substitution:

     Section 4.6 Breach of Certain Representations and Warranties.

     If on any day an Asset is (or becomes) a Warranty Asset, no later than two Business Days
following the earlier of knowledge by the Seller of such Asset becoming a Warranty Asset or receipt
by the Seller from the Administrative Agent or the Servicer of written notice thereof, the Seller
shall either: (a) make a deposit to the Collection Account (for allocation pursuant to Section
2.9 or Section 2.10, as applicable) in immediately available funds in an amount equal
to the sum of (i) the amount which, if deposited to the Collection Account on such date, would
cause the Availability as of such date (after giving effect to such Warranty Asset) to be greater
than or equal to zero, (ii) any outstanding Servicer Advances thereon, (iii) any accrued and unpaid
interest, (iv) all Hedge Breakage Costs owed to the relevant Hedge Counterparty for any

92

 

termination of one or more Hedge Transactions, in whole or in part, as required by the terms

connection with any violation by such Loan of any predatory- or abusive-lending law; or (b) subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 2.18, substitute for such Warranty Asset a
Substitute Asset. In either of the foregoing instances, the Seller may (in its discretion) accept
retransfer of each such Warranty Asset and any Related Security and the Borrowing Base shall be
reduced by the Outstanding Asset Balance of each such Warranty Asset and, if applicable, increased

such Retransfer Price into the Collection Account or the delivery by the Seller of a Substitute
Asset for each Warranty Asset (the “Retransfer Date”), such Warranty Asset shall not be included in

Asset, the Collateral) and, as applicable, the Substitute Asset shall be included in the
Collateral. Upon the Retransfer Date of each Warranty Asset, the Administrative Agent, as agent
for the Secured Parties, shall (if and when the Seller elects to accept the retransfer of such
Warranty Asset) automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer, assign and set-over
to the Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of
the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties in, to and under such Warranty Asset and
all future monies due or to become due with respect thereto, the Related Security, all Proceeds of
such Warranty Asset, Recoveries and Insurance Proceeds relating thereto, all rights to security for
any such Warranty Asset, and all Proceeds and products of the foregoing. The Administrative Agent,
as agent for the Secured Parties, shall (if and when the Seller elects to accept the retransfer of
such Warranty Asset), at the sole expense of the Servicer, execute such documents and instruments
of transfer as may be prepared by the Servicer on behalf of the Seller and take other such actions
as shall reasonably be requested by the Seller to effect the transfer of such Warranty Asset
pursuant to this Section 4.6.

     (a) Initial Servicer. The servicing, administering and collection of the Collateral
shall be conducted by the Person designated as the Servicer hereunder from time to time in
accordance

104

 

with this Section 6.1. Until the Administrative Agent gives to the Originator a
Servicer Termination Notice, the Originator is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform
the duties and responsibilities of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

     (b) Successor Servicer. Upon the Servicer’s receipt of a Servicer Termination Notice
(with a copy to the Backup Servicer) from the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of
Section 6.15, the Servicer agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer
hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent reasonably believes will facilitate the
transition of the performance of such activities to a successor Servicer, and the successor
Servicer shall assume each and all of the Servicer’s obligations to service and administer the
Collateral, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, and the Servicer shall use
its best reasonable efforts to assist the successor Servicer in assuming such obligations.

     (c) Subcontracts. The Servicer may, with the prior consent of the Administrative
Agent, subcontract with any other Person for servicing, administering or collecting the Collateral;
provided that the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations of
the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and that any such subcontract may be terminated upon the
occurrence of a Servicer Default.

     (d) Servicing Programs. In the event that the Servicer uses any software program in
servicing the Collateral that it licenses from a third party, the Servicer shall use its best
reasonable efforts to obtain, either before the Closing Date or as soon as possible thereafter,
whatever licenses or approvals are necessary to allow the Administrative Agent or the Servicer to
use such program.

     Section 6.2 Duties of the Servicer.

     (a) Appointment. The Seller hereby appoints the Servicer as its agent, as from time
to time designated pursuant to Section 6.1, to service the Collateral and enforce its
respective rights in and under such Collateral. The Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and

Servicer and the Seller hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent and
the Secured Parties are third party beneficiaries of the obligations undertaken by the Servicer
hereunder.

     (b) Duties. The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be
necessary or advisable to collect on the Collateral from time to time, all in accordance with
Applicable Laws, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and
Collection Policy. Without limiting the foregoing, the duties of the Servicer shall include the
following:

     (i) preparing and submitting of claims to, and post-billing liaison with, Obligors on
each Asset;

     (ii) maintaining all necessary servicing records with respect to the Collateral and
providing such reports to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent in respect of
the servicing of the Collateral (including information relating to its performance under
this Agreement) as may be required hereunder or as the Administrative Agent and each
Purchaser Agent may reasonably request;

105

 

     (iii) maintaining and implementing administrative and operating procedures (including,
without limitation, an ability to recreate servicing records evidencing the Collateral in
the event of the destruction of the originals thereof) and keeping and maintaining all
documents, books, records and other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the
collection of the Collateral;

     (iv) promptly delivering to the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent or the
Collateral Custodian, from time to time, such information and servicing records (including
information relating to its performance under this Agreement) as the Administrative Agent,
each Purchaser Agent or the Collateral Custodian may from time to time reasonably request;

     (v) identifying each Asset clearly and unambiguously in its servicing records to
reflect that such Asset is owned by the Seller and that the Seller is selling an undivided
ownership interest therein to the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement;

     (vi) notifying the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent of any material
action, suit, proceeding, dispute, offset, deduction, defense or counterclaim (1) that is or
is threatened to be asserted by an Obligor with respect to any Asset (or portion thereof) of
which it has knowledge or has received notice; or (2) that is reasonably expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect;

     (vii) notifying the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent of any proposed
change in the Credit and Collection Policy that could have an adverse effect on the
collectibility of the Collateral, on the Seller or on the interests of the Administrative
Agent, each Purchaser Agent or any Secured Party;

     (viii) using its reasonable best efforts to maintain the perfected security interest of
the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in the Collateral;

     (ix) maintaining in the same manner as the Collateral Custodian holds the Required
Asset Documents, the Asset File (other than Required Asset Documents) with respect to each
Asset included as part of the Collateral; and

     (x) the Servicer shall make payments pursuant to the terms of the Monthly Report in
accordance with Section 2.9 and Section 2.10.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the
Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent and the Secured Parties of their rights hereunder shall
not release the Servicer, the Originator or the Seller from any of their duties or responsibilities
with respect to the Collateral. The Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser
Agent and the Collateral Custodian (except in the role of Backup Servicer) shall not have any
obligation or liability with respect to any Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to
perform any of the obligations of the Servicer hereunder.

     (d) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any Indebtedness owed by it to the Originator or
the Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract
or Applicable Law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative

106

 

Agent, be applied as a Collection of an item of Collateral of such Obligor (starting with the
oldest such Collateral) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being
applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

     Section 6.3 Authorization of the Servicer.

     (a) Each of the Seller, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent, each Purchaser and
each Hedge Counterparty hereby authorizes the Servicer (including any successor thereto) to take
any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable and not
inconsistent with the sale of the Collateral to the Purchasers and each Hedge Counterparty, in the
determination of the Servicer, to collect all amounts due under any and all Collateral, including,
without limitation, endorsing any of their names on checks and other instruments representing
Collections, 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
Collateral and, after the delinquency of any Collateral 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 Collateral.
The Originator, the Seller and the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and each
Hedge Counterparty 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 Collateral. In no event shall the Servicer be
entitled to make the Secured Parties, any Hedge Counterparty, the Collateral Custodian, the
Administrative Agent or the Purchaser Agents a party to any litigation without such party’s express
prior written consent, or to make the Seller a party to any litigation (other than any routine
foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent’s and each Purchaser
Agent’s consent.

     (b) After a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, at the direction the
Administrative Agent, the Servicer shall take such action as the Administrative Agent may deem
necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Collateral; provided that the Administrative
Agent may, at any time that a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is
continuing, notify any Obligor with respect to any Collateral of the assignment of such Collateral
to the Administrative Agent and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due be made
directly to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent or any servicer, collection agent or
lock-box or other account designated by the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent and, upon
such notification and at the expense of the Seller, the Administrative Agent may enforce collection
of any such Collateral, and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.

     Section 6.4 Collection of Payments.

     (a) Collection Efforts, Modification of Collateral. The Servicer will use its
reasonable best efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the
Assets included in the Collateral as and when the same become due in accordance with the Credit and
Collection Policy, and will follow those collection procedures that it follows with respect to all
comparable Collateral that it services for itself or others. The Servicer may not

107

 

waive, modify or otherwise vary any provision of an item of Collateral in a manner that, in
its reasonable judgment, would impair the collectibility of the Collateral or in any manner
contrary to the Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer may otherwise amend or modify the
underlying documents related to any item of Collateral in compliance with the Credit and Collection
Policy.

     (b) Prepaid Asset. Prior to a Termination Event, upon any Asset becoming a Prepaid
Asset, the Servicer shall either (x) provide a Substitute Asset in accordance with Section
2.18 or (y) deposit to the Collection Account (in addition to all amounts received from the
related Obligor upon the prepayment of such Asset) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
sum of (a) the Outstanding Asset Balance on the date of such payment, (b) any outstanding Servicer
Advances thereon, (c) any accrued and unpaid interest, and (d) all Hedge Breakage Costs owing to
the relevant Hedge Counterparty for any termination of one or more Hedge Transactions, in whole or
in part, as required by the terms of any Hedging Agreement as the result of any such Asset becoming
a Prepaid Asset, over the amount received from the related Obligor upon such prepayment
(such excess, the “Prepayment Amount”), in each case, only to the extent necessary to cause the
Availability as of such date (after giving effect to such substitution or deposit, as applicable)
to be greater than or equal to zero. After a Termination Event has occurred, upon any Asset
becoming a Prepaid Asset, the Servicer shall deposit to the Collection Account all amounts received
from the related Obligor upon the prepayment of such Asset plus the Prepayment Amount, if any.

     (c) Acceleration. If required by the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer shall
accelerate the maturity of all or any Scheduled Payments and other amounts due under any Asset in
which a default under the terms thereof has occurred and is continuing (after the lapse of any
applicable grace period) promptly after such Asset becomes a Charged-Off Asset.

     (d) Taxes and other Amounts. To the extent provided for in any Asset, the Servicer
will use its reasonable best efforts to collect all payments with respect to amounts due for taxes,
assessments and insurance premiums relating to such Asset and remit such amounts to the appropriate
Governmental Authority or insurer on or prior to the date such payments are due.

     (e) Payments to Lock-Box Account. Subject to Section 5.1(p), on or before the
applicable Cut-Off Date, the Servicer shall have instructed all Obligors to make all payments in
respect of the Collateral to the Lock-Box or directly to the Lock-Box Account.

     (f) Establishment of the Collection Account. The Servicer shall cause to be
established, on or before the Closing Date, with the Collateral Custodian, and maintained in the
name of the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties, with an office or branch of a
depository institution or trust company a segregated corporate trust account entitled Collection
Account for Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp., as Administrative Agent for the Secured Parties
(the “Collection Account”), and the Servicer shall further maintain a subaccount within the
Collection Account for the purpose of segregating, within two Business Days of the receipt of any
Collections, Principal Collections (the “Principal Collections Account”), over which the Collateral
Custodian as agent for the Secured Parties shall have control and from which neither the
Originator, Servicer nor the Seller shall have any right of withdrawal except in accordance with
Section 2.9(b); provided that at all times such depository institution or trust company
shall

108

 

be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and a depository institution organized under the
laws of the United States of America or any one of the States thereof or the District of Columbia
(or any domestic branch of a foreign bank), (i) (a) that has either (1) a long-term unsecured debt
rating of “A” or better by S&P and “A2” or better by Moody’s or (2) a short-term unsecured debt
rating or certificate of deposit rating of “A-1” or better by S&P or “P-1” or better by Moody’s,
(b) the parent corporation of which has either (1) a long-term unsecured debt rating of “A” or
better by S&P and “A2” or better by Moody’s or (2) a short-term unsecured debt rating or
certificate of deposit rating of “A-1” or better by S&P and “P-1” or better by Moody’s or (c) is
otherwise acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (ii) whose deposits are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (any such depository institution or trust company, a “Qualified
Institution”).

     (g) Establishment of the Excess Spread Account. The Seller or the Servicer on its
behalf shall establish, on or before the Closing Date, with the Collateral Custodian, and cause to
be maintained in the name of the Seller and assigned to the Administrative Agent, with a Qualified
Institution an account into which all amounts paid by the Originator pursuant to Section
2.21 of this Agreement shall be deposited (the “Excess Spread Account”). Upon receipt of the
Required Equity Contribution Notice the Seller shall deposit within the timeframe set forth in
Section 2.21 an amount of cash into the Excess Spread Account equal to the Required Equity
Shortfall. To the extent that, on any Payment Date during the Amortization Period, there are funds
on deposit in the Excess Spread Account, such funds shall be applied on such Payment Date in
accordance with Section 2.10.

     (h) Establishment of the Securities Account. The Seller or the Servicer on its behalf
shall establish, on or before the date any CMBS Security becomes a part of the Collateral, an
account with the Securities Intermediary to which financial assets may be credited (the “Securities
Account”) pursuant to Section 8.11. Upon receipt of any Collections to the Securities
Account the Servicer shall cause the transfer of such Collections to the Collection Account by the
close of business on the Business Day after such Collections are so received into the Securities
Account.

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

     Section 6.5 Servicer Advances.

     For each Collection Period, if the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payment (or portion
thereof) that was due and payable pursuant to an Asset during such Collection Period was not
received prior to the last day of such Collection Period, the Servicer may (in its sole and
absolute discretion) make an advance in an amount up to the amount of such delinquent Scheduled
Payment. The Servicer will deposit any Servicer Advances into the Collection

109

 

Account on or prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City, New York time) on the Business Day prior to
the related Payment Date, in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, no Successor Servicer shall have any responsibility to make Servicer Advances.

     Section 6.6 Realization Upon Charged-Off Assets.

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

     Section 6.7 Maintenance of Insurance Policies.

     The Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that each Obligor maintains an
Insurance Policy with respect to any Related Property (other than accounts receivable) in an amount
at least equal to the Servicer’s good faith and commercially reasonable estimate of the value of
the real property, inventory, and/or equipment constituting such Related Property and shall ensure
that each such Insurance Policy names the Servicer as loss payee and as an insured thereunder and
all of the Seller’s right, title and interest therein is fully assigned to the Administrative
Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties. Additionally, the Servicer will require that each Obligor
maintain property damage liability insurance during the term of each Asset in amounts and against
risks customarily insured against by the Obligor on property owned by it. If an Obligor fails to
maintain property damage insurance, the Servicer may in its discretion purchase and maintain such
insurance on behalf of, and at the expense of, the Obligor. In connection with its activities as
Servicer, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of the Administrative Agent, claims to the
insurer under each Insurance Policy and any such liability policy, and to settle, adjust and
compromise such claims, in each case, consistent with the terms of each Asset. The Servicer’s
Insurance Policies with respect to the Related Property will insure against liability for physical
damage relating to such Related Property in accordance with the requirements of the Credit and
Collection Policy. The Servicer hereby disclaims any and all

110

 

right, title and interest in and to any Insurance Policy and Insurance Proceeds with respect
to any Related Property, including any Insurance Policy with respect to which it is named as loss
payee and as an insured, and agrees that it has no equitable, beneficial or other interest in the
Insurance Polices and Insurance Proceeds other than being named as loss payee and as an insured.
The Servicer acknowledges that with respect to the Insurance Policies and Insurance Proceeds
thereof that it is acting solely in the capacity as agent for the Administrative Agent, as agent
for the Secured Parties.

     Section 6.8 Servicing Compensation.

     As compensation for its servicing activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses, the
Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee to the extent of funds available therefor
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.9(a)(3) or Section 2.10(a)(3), as
applicable.

     Section 6.9 Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer.

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

     Section 6.10 Reports.

     (a) Borrowing Notice. On each Funding Date, on each reduction of Advances Outstanding
pursuant to Section 2.4(b) and on each reinvestment of Principal Collections pursuant to
Section 2.9(b), the Seller (and the Servicer on its behalf) will provide a Borrowing
Notice, updated as of such date, to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent (with a copy
to the Collateral Custodian).

     (b) Monthly Report. On each Reporting Date, the Servicer will provide to the Seller,
the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent, the Backup Servicer and any Liquidity Bank, a

with respect to the related Collection Period signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer and
the Seller and substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Monthly Report”).

     (c) Servicer’s Certificate. Together with each Monthly Report, the Servicer shall
submit to the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent and any Liquidity Bank a certificate (a
"Servicer’s Certificate”), signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer and substantially in the
form of Exhibit J.

111

 

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

     (a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice pursuant to

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

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

115

 

Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall have no liability relating to the
representations and warranties of the Servicer contained in Article IV. Further, for so
long as the Backup Servicer shall be the Successor Servicer, the provisions of Section
2.15, Section 2.16(b) and Section 2.16(e) of this Agreement shall not apply to
it in its capacity as Servicer.

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

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

116

 

induce any Successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided
for by this Agreement.

this Agreement. The Servicer shall return to the Collateral Custodian the Required Asset Documents
or other such documents (i) immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, or (ii) when
the Servicer’s need therefor in connection with such foreclosure or servicing no longer exists,
unless the Asset 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 H, the Servicer’s request and receipt
submitted pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection shall be released by the Collateral
Custodian to the Servicer.

     (b) Limitation on Release. The foregoing provision respecting release to the Servicer
of the Required Asset Documents and documents by the Collateral Custodian upon request by the

Agreement), the Collateral Custodian shall promptly release the related Required Asset Documents to
the Servicer.

124

 

     Section 8.9 Return of Required Asset Documents.

been substituted in accordance with Section 2.18, (c) as to which the lien on the Related

returned and reciting that the conditions to such release have been met (and specifying the Section
or Sections of this Agreement being relied upon for such release). The Collateral Custodian shall
upon its receipt of each such request for return executed by the Seller and the Administrative
Agent promptly, but in any event within five Business Days, return the Required Asset Documents so
requested to the Seller.

	 	 	Section 8.10 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Collateral; Audits.

     The Collateral Custodian shall provide to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent
access to the Required Asset Documents and all other documentation regarding the Collateral

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 Collateral Custodian’s normal security and confidentiality
procedures. Prior to the Closing Date and periodically thereafter at the discretion of the

     Section 8.11 Securities Intermediary

     (a) There shall at all times be one or more “securities intermediaries” (as defined in the
UCC) appointed by the Collateral Custodian for purposes of this Agreement (the “Securities
Intermediary”). The Collateral Custodian hereby appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association at
its Corporate Trust Office as the initial Securities Intermediary hereunder and Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association hereby accepts such appointment.

125

 

          (b) The Securities Intermediary shall be, and the initial Securities Intermediary hereunder
hereby represents and warrants that it is as of the date hereof and shall be for so long as it is
the Securities Intermediary hereunder, a corporation or national bank that in the ordinary course
of its business maintains securities accounts for others and is acting in that capacity hereunder.
The Securities Intermediary shall, and the initial Securities Intermediary does, agree with the
parties hereto that the Securities Account shall be an account to which financial assets may be
credited and undertake to treat the Collateral Custodian as entitled to exercise the rights that
comprise such financial assets. The Securities Intermediary shall, and the initial Securities
Intermediary does, agree with the parties hereto that each item of property credited to the
Securities Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” as defined in the UCC. The Securities
Intermediary shall, and the initial Securities Intermediary does, agree and acknowledge that the
“securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” for purpose of the UCC of the Securities Intermediary with
respect to the Collateral shall be the State of New York. The Securities Intermediary shall, and
the initial Securities Intermediary does, represent and covenant that it is not and will not be (as
long as it is the Securities Intermediary hereunder) a party to any agreement that is inconsistent
with the provisions of this Agreement. The Securities Intermediary shall, and the initial
Securities Intermediary does, covenant that it will not take any action inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement applicable to it. The Securities Intermediary shall, and the initial
Securities Intermediary does, agree that any item of property credited to the Securities Account
shall not be subject to any security interest, lien, encumbrance, or right of setoff in favor of
the Securities Intermediary or anyone claiming through the Securities Intermediary (other than the
Collateral Custodian).

          (c) It is the intent of the Collateral Custodian and the Seller that the Securities Account
shall be a securities account of the Collateral Custodian and not an account of the Seller.
Nonetheless, (i) the Securities Intermediary shall agree to comply with entitlement orders
originated by the Collateral Custodian without further consent by the Seller or any other person or
entity, and (ii) the initial Securities Intermediary agrees that for so long as it is the
Securities Intermediary hereunder, it will comply with entitlement orders originated by the
Collateral Custodian without further consent by the Seller or any other person or entity. The
Securities Intermediary shall covenant that it will not agree with any person or entity other than
the Collateral Custodian that it will comply with entitlement orders originated by any person or
entity other than the Collateral Custodian, and the initial Securities Intermediary hereby
covenants that, for so long as it is the Securities Intermediary hereunder, it will not agree with
any person or entity other than the Collateral Custodian that it will comply with entitlement
orders originated by any person or entity other than the Collateral Custodian.

               (d) Nothing herein shall imply or impose upon the Securities Intermediary any duties or
obligations other than those expressly set forth herein and those applicable to a securities
intermediary under the UCC (and the Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to all of the
protections available to a securities intermediary under the UCC). Without limiting the foregoing,
nothing herein shall imply or impose upon the Securities Intermediary any duties of a fiduciary
nature (such as, without limitation, the fiduciary duties of the Collateral Custodian hereunder).

          (e) The Securities Intermediary may at any time resign by notice to the Collateral Custodian
and may at any time be removed by notice from the Collateral Custodian;

126

 

provided however that it shall be the responsibility of the Collateral Custodian to appoint a
successor Securities Intermediary and to cause the Securities Account to be established and
maintained with such successor Securities Intermediary in accordance with the terms hereof; and the
responsibilities and duties of the retiring Securities Intermediary hereunder shall remain in
effect until all of the Collateral credited to the Securities Account held by such retiring
Securities Intermediary have been transferred to such successor. Any corporation into which the
Securities Intermediary may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which the Securities
Intermediary shall be a party, shall be the successor of the Securities Intermediary hereunder,
without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such
Securities Intermediary or such successor corporation.

ARTICLE IX

SECURITY INTEREST

     Section 9.1 Grant of Security Interest.

     The parties to this Agreement intend that the conveyance of the Collateral by the Seller to
the applicable Purchasers be treated as sales for all purposes (other than for the purposes
described in Section 13.19). If, despite such intention, a determination is made that such
transactions not be treated as sales, then the parties hereto intend that this Agreement constitute
a security agreement and the transactions effected hereby constitute secured loans by the
applicable Purchasers to the Seller under Applicable Law. For such purpose, the Seller hereby
transfers, conveys, assigns and grants as of the Closing Date to the Administrative Agent, as agent
for the Secured Parties, a lien and continuing security interest in all of the Seller’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 Seller, 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 Aggregate
Unpaids of the Seller 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, including, without limitation, all Aggregate Unpaids. The assignment under this
Section 9.1 does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an
assumption by the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, any Hedge Counterparty, the Liquidity
Banks or any of the Secured Parties of any obligation of the Seller or any other Person in
connection with any or all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the Seller shall remain liable under the
Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder
to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the
Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral
shall not release the Seller from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral, and (c)
none of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, any Hedge Counterparty, the Liquidity Banks
or any Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this
Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, any Hedge Counterparty, the
Liquidity Banks or any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties

127

 

of the Seller thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment
assigned hereunder.

     Section 9.2 Release of Lien on Collateral.

     At the same time as (i) any Collateral expires by its terms and all amounts in respect thereof
have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account, (ii) any
Asset becomes a Prepaid Asset and all amounts in respect thereof have been paid in full by the
related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account, (iii) such Asset is replaced in accordance
with Section 2.18, or (iv) this agreement terminates in accordance with Section
13.6, the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties will, to the extent requested
by the Servicer, release its interest in such Collateral. In connection with any sale of such
Related Property, the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties will after the deposit
by the Servicer of the Proceeds of such sale into the 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 such Related Property; provided that the Administrative 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 sale or transfer and assignment.
Nothing in this section shall diminish the Servicer’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.6
with respect to the Proceeds of any such sale.

     Section 9.3 Further Assurances.

     The provisions of Section 13.12 shall apply to the security interest granted under
Section 9.1 as well as to the Advances hereunder.

     Section 9.4 Remedies.

     Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties shall
have, with respect to the Collateral granted pursuant to Section 9.1, and in addition to
all other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties under this
Agreement or other Applicable Law, all rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under
the UCC.

     Section 9.5 Waiver of Certain Laws.

     Each of the Seller 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
part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such
sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each of the Seller 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 Administrative
Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this

128

 

Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such parcels as the Administrative
Agent or such court may determine.

     Section 9.6 Power of Attorney.

     Each of the Seller and the Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent its
true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at is
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 Seller 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 or Hedging Agreement. Nevertheless, if so
requested by the Administrative Agent or a Purchaser Agent, the Seller shall ratify and confirm any
such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent or such
purchaser all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be
designated in any such request.

ARTICLE XII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

AND PURCHASER AGENTS

     Section 12.1 The Administrative Agent.

     (a) Each Purchaser Agent and each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Agent as its agent and bailee for purposes of perfection pursuant to the applicable

136

 

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

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

     (c) Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of
its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of
the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal
counsel (including counsel for the Seller or the Originator), independent public accountants and
other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in
good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes
no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to
ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or

conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the
Seller, the Originator, or the Servicer or to inspect the property (including the books and
records) of the Seller, the Originator, or the Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible for the due
execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement,
any of the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant
hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of
the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent,
certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telex) believed by it to be genuine and
signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

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

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

     (f) Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time,
effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided
below, by giving at least five days’ written notice thereof to each Purchaser Agent and the Seller
and may be removed at any time with cause by the Purchaser Agents acting jointly. Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Purchaser Agents and the Seller acting jointly shall

138

 

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

     (g) Payments by the Administrative Agent. Unless specifically allocated to a specific
Purchaser Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Purchaser Agents shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Purchaser
Agents in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares in the applicable Advances Outstanding,
or if there are no Advances Outstanding then to the Purchaser Agents in accordance with the most
recent applicable Commitment, on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such
amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such Business Day, in which case the Administrative Agent
shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to each Purchaser Agent on such Business Day,
but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such Purchaser Agent not later than the following
Business Day.

     (a) Authorization and Action. Each Purchaser hereby designates and appoints its
applicable Purchaser Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under each other Transaction Document,
and authorizes such Purchaser Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers as are delegated to such Purchaser Agent by the terms of this Agreement together and
the other Transaction Documents with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Such
Purchaser Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth

forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document), or (ii) responsible in any manner to
its related Purchaser for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the
Seller contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, for the value, validity,

Purchaser to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements
or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or

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

     (e) Non-Reliance on the Purchaser Agent and Other Purchasers. Each applicable
Purchaser, respectively, expressly acknowledges that neither its related Purchaser Agent nor any of
its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any
representations or warranties to it and that no act by such Purchaser Agent hereafter taken,

140

 

including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Seller, shall be deemed to
constitute any representation or warranty by the such Purchaser Agent. Each applicable Purchaser,
respectively, represents and warrants to its related Purchaser Agent that it has and will,
independently and without reliance upon such Purchaser Agent, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the

to this Agreement, such Purchaser Agent and each of its Affiliates shall have the same rights and
powers under this Agreement as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not a
Purchaser Agent and the terms “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” shall include such Purchaser Agent in
its individual capacity.

     (g) Successor Purchaser Agent. Each applicable Purchaser Agent, respectively, may,
upon five days’ notice to the Seller and its related Purchaser, and such Purchaser Agent will, upon
the direction of its related Purchaser, resign as Purchaser Agent for such Purchaser. If such
Purchaser Agent shall resign, then its related Purchaser, during such five day period, shall
appoint a successor agent. If for any reason no successor Agent is appointed by such Purchaser
during such five day period, then effective upon the expiration of such five day period, the Seller
shall make all payments in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids directly to such Purchaser and for all
purposes shall deal directly with such Purchaser. After any retiring Purchaser Agent’s resignation
hereunder as Purchaser Agent, the provisions of Articles XI and XII shall inure to its benefit as
to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Purchaser Agent under this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the resignation or removal of the Purchaser Agent for Citigroup, the
Hedge Counterparties, shall each continue to be a Secured Party hereunder.

Additional Agent hereunder. With respect to Advances pursuant to this Agreement, each Additional
Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any
Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not an Additional Agent, and the terms
“Purchaser,” and “Purchasers,” shall include the Additional Agent in its individual capacity.

five day period, then effective upon the termination of such five day period, and the Seller shall

agreed and understood that the agreements of the Administrative Agent, the
Purchaser Agents, the Seller, the Servicer, the Originator or any Secured Party contained in this
Agreement and all of the other agreements, instruments and documents entered into by it pursuant

Party, and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to or be incurred by any
administrator of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Seller, the Servicer, the
Originator or any Secured Party or any incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer, employee or
director of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Seller, the Servicer, the

Agreement or in any other such instruments, documents or agreements, or that are implied therefrom,
and that any and all personal liability of every such administrator of the Administrative Agent,
the Purchaser Agents, the Seller, the Servicer, the Originator or any Secured Party and each
incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer, employee or director of the Administrative Agent,
the Purchaser Agents, the Seller, the Servicer, the Originator or any Secured Party or of any such

termination of this Agreement.

147

 

     (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Purchaser or Additional
Purchaser shall have any obligation to pay any amount required to be paid by it hereunder in excess
of any amount available to such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser, as applicable, after paying
or making provision for the payment of its Commercial Paper Notes. All payment obligations of each
Purchaser and each Additional Purchaser, as applicable, hereunder are contingent on the
availability of funds in excess of the amounts necessary to pay its Commercial Paper Notes; and
each of the other parties hereto agrees that it will not have a claim under Section 101(5) of the
Bankruptcy Code if and to the extent that any such payment obligation owed to it by a Purchaser or
an Additional Purchaser, as applicable, exceeds the amount available to such Purchaser or such
Additional Purchaser, as applicable, to pay such amount after paying or making provision for the
payment of its Commercial Paper Notes.

     (c) Notwithstanding any contrary provision set forth herein, no claim may be made by the
Seller, the Originator or the Servicer or any other Person against the Administrative Agent and the
Secured Parties or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents
for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect to any claim for breach of
contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith;
and the Seller, the Originator and the Servicer each hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue
upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected.

     (d) No obligation or liability to any Obligor under any of the Assets is intended to be
assumed by the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties under or as a result of this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby

     Section 13.12 Protection of Right, Title and Interest in the Collateral; Further Action
Evidencing Advances .

     (a) The Servicer shall cause this Agreement, all amendments hereto and/or all financing
statements and continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the right, title
and interest of the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties and of the Secured
Parties to the Collateral to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to be
kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by
law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent as
agent for the Secured Parties hereunder to all property comprising the Collateral. The Servicer
shall deliver to the Administrative 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 Seller shall cooperate fully with the Servicer in
connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably
required to fulfill the intent of this Section 13.12(a).

     (b) The Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and
deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Advances hereunder and
the security interest granted in the Collateral, or to enable the Administrative

148

 

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

     (c) If the Seller or the Servicer fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause
performance of, such obligation; and the Administrative Agent’s or such Secured Party’s costs and
expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Seller as provided in Article
XI. The Seller irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative
Agent as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Seller (i) to execute on behalf of the Seller
as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s
sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the
Secured Parties in the Collateral and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of
this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement
in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to
perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Secured Parties in the
Collateral. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

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

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

     (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent an opinion of the
counsel for Seller, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent, confirming and updating the opinion delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 with
respect to perfection and otherwise to the effect that the security interest hereunder
continues to be an enforceable and perfected security interest, subject to no other Liens of
record except as provided herein or otherwise permitted hereunder, which opinion may contain
usual and customary assumptions, limitations and exceptions.

     Section 13.13 Confidentiality

     (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Secured Parties, the Servicer,
the Collateral Custodian, the Backup Servicer and the Seller shall maintain and shall cause each of
its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of the Agreement and all information
with respect to the other parties, including all information regarding the business of
CapitalSource Inc. and its Affiliates, the Seller and the Servicer hereto, and their respective
businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of
the transactions contemplated herein or related to any of the underlying Obligors, except that each
such party and its officers and employees may (i) disclose such information to its external

Transaction Documents or any Hedging Agreement. It is understood that the financial terms that may
not be disclosed except in compliance with this Section 13.13(a) include, without
limitation, all fees and other pricing terms, and all Termination Events, Servicer Defaults, and

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

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

demand or similar demand or request of any court, regulatory authority, arbitrator or arbitration

     Section 13.14 Execution in Counterparts; Severability; Integration.

     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto
in separate counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which when so executed shall be deemed
to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents 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
delivered by the Originator to the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, and the Secured
Parties.

     Section 13.15 Waiver of Set-off.

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

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

     Section 13.16 Assignments.

     (a) The Purchasers may at any time assign, or grant a security interest or sell a
participation interest in, any Advance (or portion thereof) to any Person (such Person, an
“Additional Purchaser”); provided that in the case of an assignment of the Purchaser Variable
Funding Certificate or Additional Purchaser Variable Funding Certificate the assignee (other than
any assignee that is a Liquidity Bank) shall execute and deliver to the Servicer and the
Administrative Agent a Transferee Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto (the
“Transferee Letter”). The parties to any such assignment, grant or sale of participation interest
shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser Agent or the related Additional Agent, as applicable,
for its acceptance and recording in its books and records, such agreement or document as may be
satisfactory to such parties and the Purchaser Agent or such Additional Agent, as applicable. The
Seller shall not assign or delegate, or grant any interest in, or permit any Lien (other than any
Permitted Lien) to exist upon, any of the Seller’s rights, obligations or duties under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Hedge
Counterparty.

     (b) The Originator may, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, add additional
Persons as an Additional Purchaser or an Additional Agent or cause an existing Purchaser to

151

 

Agent. Each new Additional Purchaser and Additional Agent shall become a party hereto by
executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Originator an Assumption Agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto (the “Assumption Agreement”).

     (c) An Additional Purchaser shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Sections 2.14 through 2.16 or Article XI than the applicable Purchaser
would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation interest sold to the
Additional Purchaser.

     Section 13.17 Heading and Exhibits.

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

     Section 13.18 Loans Subject to Retained Interest Provisions.

     (a) With respect to any Loan included in the Collateral subject to the Retained Interest
provisions of this Agreement, the Seller will own only the principal portion of such Loans
outstanding as of the applicable Cut-Off Date. Principal Collections received by the Seller or the
Servicer on any Revolving Loans will be allocated first to the portion of such Revolving Loan owned
by the Seller, until the principal amount of such portion is reduced to zero, and then to the
portion not owned by the Seller; provided that if (i) a payment default occurs with respect to any
of the related Loans, (ii) a Liquidity Factor Reduction Event occurs and continues, (iii) the
Originator has determined in its sole discretion that an Obligor’s credit has deteriorated or the

(in the case of clause (i) or (iii) above or during the time that a Liquidity
Factor Reduction Event exists and continues in the case of clause (ii) above) or (y) all the
Revolving Loans (in the case of clauses (iv) above) will be allocated between the portion
owned by the Seller and the portion not owned by the Seller, pro rata based upon the outstanding
principal amount of each such portion.

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

     Section 13.19 Tax Treatment of Advances.

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

SALE, TRANSFER AND ASSIGNMENT

     (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including the
conditions to Purchase set forth in Article III), on each Purchase Date, the Seller hereby sells,
transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby Purchases
and takes from the Seller all right, title and interest (whether now owned or hereafter acquired or
arising and wherever located) of the Seller in, to and under all accounts, general intangibles,
instruments, chattel paper, documents, money, letters of credit, advices of credit, deposit
accounts, certificates of deposit, investment property, goods and other property consisting of,
arising from or related to any of the following property (collectively, the “Purchased
Collateral”):

- 3 -

 

     (i) the Assets identified by the Seller as of the initial Cut–Off Date which are listed
on Schedule I hereto, and the Assets identified by the Seller as of any additional Cut–Off
Date which are listed on Schedule I to the Sale Assignment, together with all monies due in
payment of such Loans on and after the related Cut–Off Date, but excluding any Excluded
Amounts and any Retained Interest;

     (ii) all Related Security with respect to the Loans referred to in clause (i) above;
and

     (iii) all income and Proceeds of the foregoing.

     (b) The Seller shall on or prior to any Purchase Date after the Closing Date execute and
deliver to the Buyer a certificate of assignment (the “Sale Assignment”) from the Seller to
the Buyer in the form of Exhibit A hereto. From and after such Purchase Date, the Purchased
Collateral listed on such assignment shall be deemed to be Purchased Collateral hereunder.

     (c) On or before any Purchase Date with respect to the Purchased Collateral to be acquired by
the Buyer on that date, the Seller shall provide the Buyer with an Officer’s Certificate, in the
form of Exhibit B hereto, signed by a duly authorized Responsible Officer certifying, as of such
Purchase Date, to each of the items in Section 4.2, in the form of Exhibit B hereto.

     (d) Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the sale and purchase of Purchased
Collateral under this Agreement shall be without recourse to the Seller; it being understood that
Seller shall be liable to the Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities
made by Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all of which obligations are limited so as
not to constitute recourse to the Seller for the credit risk of the Obligors.

     (e) The Buyer, the Citigroup Agent and Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent, each
Purchaser, the other Secured Parties, the Backup Servicer and the Collateral Custodian shall not
have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or client of Seller (including any obligation to
perform any of the obligations of Seller (including any obligation with respect to any other
related agreements)). No such obligation or liability is intended to be assumed by the Buyer, the
Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent, the Purchasers, the Secured Parties, the Backup
Servicer, or the Collateral Custodian, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed.

     (f) In connection with each Purchase of Purchased Collateral hereunder, the Seller shall
deliver to the Collateral Custodian (A) the Required Asset Documents with respect thereto on or
prior to the Closing Date (except for any UCCs, which shall be in the possession of the Collateral
Custodian within two Business Days of the Closing Date) as to any Existing Assets, and (B) the duly
executed original promissory note, if any, and the duly executed faxed copies of the other
documents included in the Required Asset Documents (the “Faxed Documents”) on or prior to
the related Purchase Date (and if prior to the related Purchase Date, any such promissory note and
Faxed Documents shall be held by the Collateral Custodian on behalf of the Purchasers in escrow
until such Purchase shall occur on the related Purchase Date), and the duly executed original
copies of the Faxed Documents (including any UCCs) within two Business Days of the related Purchase
Date as to any Additional Assets. In connection with such transfer, the Seller

- 4 -

 

hereby grants to each of the Buyer, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent and the
Servicer an irrevocable, non–exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all
software used by the Seller to account for the Purchased Collateral, to the extent necessary to
administer the Purchased Collateral, whether such software is owned by the Seller or is owned by
others and used by the Seller under license agreements with respect thereto; provided that should
the consent of any licensor of such software be required for the grant of the license described
herein to be effective, the Seller hereby agrees that upon the request of the Buyer or the
Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent, the Seller will use its reasonable efforts to obtain
the consent of such third–party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until
the Collection Date and shall terminate on the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with
its terms. The Seller (i) shall take such action requested by the Buyer, the Administrative Agent
and each Purchaser Agent, from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to
ensure that the Buyer and its assigns under the Sale and Servicing Agreement have an enforceable
ownership interest in the Asset Files purchased from the Seller hereunder, and (ii) shall use its
reasonable efforts to ensure that each of the Buyer, the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser
Agents, and the Servicer has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise)
to use all of the computer software used to account for the Purchased Collateral and/or to recreate
such Asset Files.

     (g) In connection with the sale of the Purchased Collateral, the Seller further agrees that it
will, at its own expense, indicate clearly and unambiguously in its computer files and its
financial statements, on or prior to each Purchase Date, that such Purchased Collateral has been
sold to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

     (h) The Seller further agrees to deliver to the Buyer on or before each Purchase Date a
computer file containing a true, complete and correct list of all Assets, identified by account
number and Outstanding Asset Balance as of the related Cut–Off Date. Such file or list shall be
marked as Schedule I to this Agreement, shall be delivered to the Buyer as confidential and
proprietary, and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement as such Schedule I
may be supplemented and amended from time to time.

     (i) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Seller’s right, title
and interest in and to the Purchased Collateral by the Seller to the Buyer as provided in
Section 2.1 shall constitute an absolute transfer conveying good title, free and clear of
any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) and that the Purchased Collateral shall not be part of the
Seller’s bankruptcy estate in the event of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Seller.
Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Assets and the other
Purchased Collateral by the Seller to the Buyer to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller.
If, however, notwithstanding the intention of the parties, the conveyance provided for in this
Section 2.1 is determined to be a transfer for security, then this Agreement shall also be
deemed to be, and hereby is, a “security agreement” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC and
the Seller hereby grants to the Buyer a duly perfected, first priority “security interest” within
the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the
Purchased Collateral, now existing and hereafter created, to secure the prompt and complete payment
of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of the
Purchased Collateral together with all of the other obligations of the Seller hereunder. The Buyer
shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under this Agreement,

- 5 -

 

all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other
Applicable Law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

     Section 2.2. Purchase Price.

     The purchase price for each item of Purchased Collateral sold to the Buyer by the Seller under
this Agreement (the “Purchase Price”) shall be a dollar amount equal to the Outstanding
Asset Balance thereof determined as of the related Cut–Off Date.

     Section 2.3. Payment of Purchase Price.

     (a) The Purchase Price for any Purchased Collateral sold by the Seller to the Buyer on any
Purchase Date shall be paid in a combination of (i) immediately available funds and (ii) if the
Buyer does not have sufficient funds to pay the full amount of the Purchase Price, by means of a
capital contribution by the Seller to the Buyer.

     (b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Seller may on any Purchase Date
elect to designate all or a portion of the Purchased Collateral proposed to be transferred to the
Buyer on such date as a capital contribution to the Buyer. In such event, the Purchase Price
payable with respect to such transfer shall be reduced by the Outstanding Asset Balance of the
Purchased Collateral or portions thereof that were so contributed; provided however that Purchased
Collateral contributed to the Buyer as capital shall constitute Purchased Collateral for all
purposes of this Agreement.

     (c) the Seller, by accepting the Purchase Price paid for each purchase of Purchased
Collateral, shall be deemed to have certified, with respect to the Purchased Collateral to be sold
by it on such day, that its representations and warranties contained in Article IV are true
and correct on and as of such day, with the same effect as though made on and as of such day and
that no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred.

     (d) Upon the payment of the Purchase Price for any Purchase, title to the Purchased Collateral
included in such Purchase shall rest in Buyer, whether or not the conditions precedent to such
Purchase and the other covenants and agreements contained herein were in fact satisfied; provided
however that Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any claim it may have under this Agreement
for the failure by the Seller in fact to satisfy any such condition precedent, covenant or
agreement.

     (s) Sale Agreement. This Agreement is the only agreement or arrangement pursuant to which the
Seller sells the Purchased Collateral that is the subject of this Agreement.

     (t) Value Given. The Buyer has given reasonably equivalent value to the Seller in
consideration for the transfer to the Buyer of the Purchased Collateral, no such transfer shall
have been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Seller to the Buyer, and no such

described in the preceding sentence and other relevant facts, the filing of a voluntary petition
under the Bankruptcy Code for the purpose of making any Purchased Collateral or any other assets of
the Buyer available to satisfy claims of the creditors of the Seller would not result in making
such assets available to satisfy such creditors under the Bankruptcy Code.

the “Pension Plans”), does not exceed the value of the assets of the Pension Plan allocable to such
vested benefits (based on the value of such assets as of the last annual valuation date). No
prohibited transactions, accumulated funding deficiencies, withdrawals or reportable events have
occurred with respect to any Pension Plans that, in the aggregate, could subject the Seller to any
material tax, penalty or other liability. No notice of intent to terminate a Pension Plan has been
billed, nor has any Pension Plan been terminated under Section 4041(f) of ERISA, nor has the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation instituted proceedings to terminate, or appoint a trustee to

     (cc) Set–Off, etc. Other than B-Note Loans and Mezzanine Loans, no Purchased Collateral has
been compromised, adjusted, extended, satisfied, subordinated, rescinded, set–off or modified by
the Seller or the Obligor thereof, and no Purchased Collateral is subject to compromise,
adjustment, extension, satisfaction, subordination, rescission, set–off, counterclaim, defense,

Obligor with respect thereto, except for amendments to such Purchased Collateral otherwise
permitted under the Transaction Documents and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

Agent, the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties are entering into the transactions contemplated
by the Sale and Servicing Agreement in reliance upon the Buyer’s identity as a legal entity that is

without limitation, all steps that the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent, the Purchasers
and the other Secured Parties may from time to time reasonably request to maintain the Buyer’s

entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Seller and any Affiliates thereof and
not just a division of the Seller or any such Affiliate. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, the Seller agrees that:

Buyer is at all times in compliance with Section 4.1(u) of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement;

those of the Buyer;

performance of such duties; provided, however, that the Seller will not be required to so
identify itself when communicating with the Obligors.

with all reasonable requests of the Buyer regarding the provision of any information or documents,

responsibilities under the Transaction Documents.

     (p) Payment Performance and Discharge of Obligations. The Seller will pay, perform and
discharge all of its obligations and liabilities, including, without limitation, all taxes,
assessments and governmental charges upon its income and properties, when due, the non–payment,
performance or discharge of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
unless and only to the extent that such obligations, liabilities, taxes, assessments and
governmental charges shall be contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and that, to

the Adjusted Facility Amount, calculated on an annualized basis commencing on the Closing Date;

     If on any day (i) the Buyer does not own or alternatively have a valid and perfected first
priority security interest in each item of Purchased Collateral or (ii) any Loan which has been
represented by the Seller to be an Eligible Asset is later determined not to have been an Eligible
Asset as of the related Cut-Off Date, upon the earlier of the Seller’s receipt of notice from the
Buyer or the Seller becoming aware thereof and the Seller’s failure to cure such breach within 30
days, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a collection (a “Deemed
Collection”) of such Asset in full and shall on such day pay to the Buyer an amount equal to
the Outstanding Asset Balance of such Asset. In connection with any such Deemed Collection, the
Buyer shall automatically and without further action, be deemed to transfer to the Seller, free and
clear of any Lien created pursuant to this Agreement, all of the right, title and interest of the

Purchaser Agent proof of release of such Lien; or

     (h) any Lien in an amount equal to or greater than $1,000,000 has been asserted against or
imposed on, any real or personal property of the Seller pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental

further notice of any kind, which is hereby waived by such Seller, (B) in the case of any Purchase
Termination Event described in paragraph (v)(B) above, the obligation of the Buyer to

which is hereby waived by the Seller unless both the Buyer and the Seller agree in writing that
such event shall not trigger an Early Termination hereunder and (C) in the case of any other
Purchase Termination Event, so long as such Purchase Termination Event shall be continuing, the
Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent may terminate its obligation to purchase
Purchased Collateral from the Seller by written notice to the Seller (any termination pursuant to

expense and upon request of the Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent

- 30 -

 

forthwith, assemble all or any part of the Purchased Collateral as directed by the
Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent and make the same available at a
place to be designated by the Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent; and

     (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Purchased Collateral or any
part thereof in one or more parcels at a public or private sale, at any of the Buyer’s, the
Administrative Agent’s or any Purchaser Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, or credit or

Purchaser Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Seller agrees that, to the extent
notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to the Seller of the time
and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall
constitute reasonable notification. The Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser
Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Purchased Collateral regardless of notice
of sale having been given. The Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent may
adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place

with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or services
related to such Purchased Collateral or the furnishing or failure to furnish such
merchandise or services;

     (vi) any failure of the Seller to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with

     (xi) any claim, suit or action of any kind arising out of or in connection with

unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then
the Seller shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of
such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Seller, on

relevant equitable considerations.

     (d) The obligations of the Seller under this Section 9.1 shall survive the termination

     (a) With respect to each Revolving Loan included as part of the Purchased Collateral, as of
any date of determination prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination
Event, Collections from the Obligor on such Revolving Loan shall be shared and applied
proportionately as between any balance outstanding in connection with the Retained Interest and the
Outstanding Asset Balance of such Revolving Loan purchased by the Buyer under and in accordance
with Section 2.1 hereof in accordance with the percentages determined as follows: (a) in
the case of the Seller, by dividing (i) the outstanding principal amount of the advances made in
connection with the Retained Interest by (ii) the sum of all advances previously made in connection
with the Revolving Loan; and (b) in the case of the Buyer, by dividing (i) the Outstanding Asset
Balance of such Revolving Loan by (ii) the sum of all advances previously made in connection with
the Revolving Loan.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or any
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 Administrative Agent, and the Secured
Parties, and shall not be subject to the pro rata sharing provisions of this Section 10.18.
In furtherance of the foregoing clause of this paragraph, the Seller 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.
