Payments in respect of principal and Interest (including pursuant to Section 2.06) shall be allocated and applied to Lender based on their respective Invested Percentages that are Class A Loans or Class B Loans, as applicable, or in any such case in such other proportions as each affected Lender may agree upon in writing from time to time with such Agent and the Borrower.
(r)At or before 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day prior to each Reporting Date, each Lender shall notify the Agent for its Lender Group of its Interest Rate in effect for the current Interest Period.  At or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day prior to each Reporting Date, the Agents shall then notify the Borrower of all such rates. For such purposes, the Agents may rely conclusively on notices from Lenders as to the interest rate or rates from time to time applicable to their respective Invested Percentage of the 
48

Loans Outstanding.  Each determination by a Lender of its Interest Rate pursuant to this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders, each Agent, the Borrower, the Servicer and the Backup Servicer, in the absence of manifest error. 
(s)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, if at any time the rate of interest payable by any Person under the Basic Documents exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, then, so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be exceeded, such rate of interest shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate.  If at any time thereafter the rate of interest so payable is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, such Person shall continue to pay Interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received from such Person is equal to the total Interest that would have been received had Applicable Law not limited the interest rate so payable.  In no event shall the total Interest received by a Lender under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents exceed the amount which such Lender could lawfully have received, had the Interest due been calculated from the Closing Date at the Maximum Lawful Rate.
Section 1.02.Settlement Procedures.  
(t)On each Payment Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Paying Agent in writing to pay, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Paying Agent in writing to pay, no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, in each case, based solely on the information in the related Monthly Report, to the following Persons, from the Collection Account (to the extent of Available Funds) and from the Reserve Account (in the amount of the related Reserve Account Withdrawal Amount), in the following order of priority as set forth in the Monthly Report:

(xiii)Thirteenth, so long as no Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, any amount remaining in the Collection Account shall be distributed to an account designated by the Borrower; provided, however, during the occurrence and continuance of an Unmatured Event of Default, any remaining amounts shall remain in the Collection Account, or, at the election of the Borrower in its sole discretion be used (A) to prepay any Class A Loans and Class B Loans, on a pro rata basis or (B) to purchase additional Receivables in accordance with Section 2.11(f).
(u)For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby agreed that (i) accrued and unpaid fees, expenses and indemnities payable to the Collateral Agent, the Paying Agent, the Image File Custodian, the Backup Servicer (including in its capacity as Successor Servicer), the Borrower Loan Trustee or the Third Party Allocation Agent (so long as such Third Party Allocation Agent is Computershare) in excess of the aggregate annual maximum amount for any year (as set forth in Section 2.08(a)(ii)) and not paid pursuant to Section 2.08(a)(xii) shall be reimbursable in subsequent years in the same order of priority and subject to the same limitations as set forth above until paid in full, and (ii) each of the caps set forth in Section 2.08(a)(ii) with respect to the out-of-pocket expenses, fees, losses and indemnities of the Collateral Agent, the Paying Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Image File Custodian, the Borrower Loan Trustee and the Third Party Allocation Agent (so long as such Third Party Allocation Agent is Computershare) shall not be applicable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.

Section 1.01.Tranching.  At the direction of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement for the purpose of tranching or adjusting the tranching on any Loans, provided that all reasonable costs and expenses of the Borrower incurred in connection with such amendment shall be borne by the Lenders, and provided further that the Borrower shall not be required to enter into such amendment if it could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the payments, economics or obligations of the Borrower hereunder. Upon the exercise of such option to tranche or adjust tranching, the Borrower shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any intended assignee(s) (if any) of any Lender, as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, to effect the exercise of such option, including the issuance of an additional class of Loans that bear interest at a rate separate and apart from the then current Interest Rate, or advance rates separate and apart from the then current advance rates, or a new class of Loans having terms as may be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
51

Section 1.10.Payments, Computations, Etc.
(v)Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder, including such amounts contemplated pursuant to Section 2.08, shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day when due in Dollars in immediately available funds, in the case of amounts due to a Lender, to each Lender at such Lender’s Account, the details of which appear on the Class A Lender Supplement or Class B Lender Supplement, as applicable, for such Lender.  
(w)Whenever any payment hereunder (i) shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made, without penalty, on the next succeeding Business Day, except in the case where the next succeeding Business Day would occur in the succeeding calendar month, in which case such payment shall be due on the preceding Business Day or (ii) is received after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, such payment shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day, and any such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of Interest, other interest or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be.
(x)If any Loan requested by the Borrower and approved by a Lender and the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.01 is not, for any reason other than due to the fault of a Lender, Administrative Agent or the applicable Agent, made or effectuated, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify such Lender against any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender, including any loss (including loss of anticipated profits, net of anticipated profits in the reemployment of such funds in the manner determined by such Lender), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Loan.
(y)All payments hereunder shall be made without set-off or counterclaim, subject to Section 2.14, and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement.
(z)To the extent that (i) any Person makes a payment to any party hereto or (ii) any party hereto receives or is deemed to have received any payment or proceeds for application to an obligation, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Insolvency Law, State or federal law, common law or for equitable cause, then, to the extent such payment or proceeds are set aside, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received or deemed received by the related party.
(aa)Each Lender agrees or is deemed to agree that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Party or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.13 or Section 2.14, it shall, to the extent not inconsistent with its internal policies of general application, use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize costs, expenses and other amounts incurred by it and payable by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13 or Section 2.14, as applicable.
Section 1.11.Collections and Allocations; Investment of Funds.
(ab)On or prior to the Closing Date or the applicable Funding Date (with respect to Subsequent Receivables), (i) the Servicer and each Subservicer shall have directed each Obligor to make all payments in respect of the Receivables to a Servicer Account in accordance with the 
52

Collection Policy, and (ii) the Servicer will deposit (in immediately available funds) into the Collection Account all Collections received after the related Cutoff Date and through and including the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the Closing Date or the Funding Date, as the case may be.  
(ac)Each of the Servicer, each Subservicer and the Borrower shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, all Collections it has received in respect of a Collection Period in the form of immediately available funds to the Collection Account promptly, but in no event later than the close of business on the second Business Day after it has received such Collections, whether such Collections were received centrally, at a local branch or otherwise.
(ad)On each Payment Date, subject to Section 2.11(f), the Paying Agent shall, based on the amounts set forth in the Monthly Report, withdraw from the Reserve Account the Reserve Account Withdrawal Amount, if any, to be deposited into the Collection Account on such Payment Date and applied in accordance with the written instructions delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.08; provided, however, that on any Payment Date following an Event of Default that has not been waived by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), the Paying Agent shall withdraw such amount, if any, as may be specified by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders).  With respect to any Payment Date that occurs during the Revolving Period, so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, if, after giving effect to the distributions from, and deposits in, the Reserve Account on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.08, the Reserve Account Amount is greater than the Reserve Account Required Amount for such Payment Date, the Servicer shall direct the Paying Agent in writing to distribute such excess amount to or at the direction of the Borrower into an account specified by the Borrower.
(ae)To the extent there are uninvested amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or the Reserve Account, such amounts may be invested by the Securities Intermediary in Permitted Investments that mature no later than the Business Day before the next Payment Date, which Permitted Investments shall be selected (i) prior to the occurrence of any Facility Amortization Event, by the Borrower or (ii) after the occurrence of any Facility Amortization Event, by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders).  So long as Computershare is the Securities Intermediary under the Account Control Agreement, each Permitted Investment may be purchased by the Securities Intermediary or through an Affiliate of the Paying Agent.  No Permitted Investment may be purchased at a premium and any earnings (and losses) on the foregoing investments shall be for the account of the Borrower.  Absent direction from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as specified above, any uninvested amounts on deposit in either Account shall remain uninvested and the Securities Intermediary shall have no obligation or liability to pay any interest or earnings thereon; provided that the Borrower or Administrative Agent may provide standing instructions for the investment of such funds.  None of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall be liable for any loss, including without limitation any loss of principal or interest, or for any breakage fees or penalties in connection with the purchase or liquidation of any investment, which in the case of the Paying Agent, is made in accordance with the written instructions of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Investments in any Permitted Investments are not obligations or recommendations of, or endorsed or guaranteed by, the Securities Intermediary or its Affiliates and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Securities Intermediary is not providing investment supervision, recommendations, suitability or advice. The Securities Intermediary and its Affiliates may provide various services for Permitted Investments and may be paid fees for such services. The parties agree that, for tax reporting purposes, all interest or other income from investments shall, as of the end of each calendar year and to the extent required by the IRS be reported as having been earned whether or not income was disbursed 
53

during a particular year.  Each of the Borrower and Administrative Agent agrees that such notifications shall not be provided by the Securities Intermediary hereunder, and the Securities Intermediary shall instead make available to the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent, upon request and in lieu of such notifications, periodic account statements that reflect such investment activity.  No statement need be made available for any account if no activity has occurred in such account during such period.
(af)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all withdrawals of funds from the Collection Account shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent; provided, that the Administrative Agent hereby provides (subject to Section 2.11(f)), the Paying Agent with revocable standing instructions allowing withdrawals from the Collection Account on each Payment Date in accordance with the Monthly Report and as otherwise provided in Section 2.11(f).
(ag)Prior to an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall not alter or revoke the standing instructions described in Section 2.11(e) unless (i) the Administrative Agent reasonably believes the Monthly Report is in error, and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Servicer are unable to reconcile such error prior to the related Payment Date.  At such time, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Paying Agent in writing to distribute funds in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.08(a) from the Collection Account on such Payment Date in accordance with a report prepared and delivered by the Administrative Agent and the Paying Agent shall comply with such instructions.  Furthermore, on any Business Day during the Revolving Period other than a Payment Date, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, no more than twice each week, the Borrower shall be entitled to direct the Paying Agent to withdraw amounts on deposit in the Collection Account so long as (i) after giving effect to such withdrawal, the amount on deposit in the Collection Account will be equal to or greater than the product of (x) 1.25 and (y) an amount sufficient to make all payments that are required to be made on the immediately following Payment Date pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (v) of Section 2.08(a), (ii) no Insolvency Event or any Unmatured Event of Default (other than a Technical Unmatured Event of Default), Event of Default, Facility Amortization Event, Servicer Termination Event or other default which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, could become an Event of Default, a Facility Amortization Event or a Servicer Termination Event, has occurred and is continuing or will occur after giving effect to such withdrawal, (iii) the Borrower has provided the Paying Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Agents with prior written notice of such withdrawal at least one (1) Business Day in advance thereof, which written notice shall include a certification that all conditions precedent to such withdrawal provided in this Section 2.11(f) have been satisfied and a calculation of the amounts to be paid on the immediately following Payment Date after giving effect to such withdrawal, (iv) the amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account are used to purchase additional Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (v) no Class A Borrowing Base Deficiency or Total Borrowing Base Deficiency will exist after giving effect to such withdrawal or any related purchase of Receivables.  The Paying Agent shall not be subject to any claim or liability for its following Borrower’s instructions (provided that the Paying Agent shall not have received written instructions from the Administrative Agent to the contrary prior to any action taken in connection with instructions previously received so as to allow the Paying Agent to act or refrain from acting as required) pursuant to this Section 2.11(f), and shall have no obligation to monitor or confirm compliance with the conditions to such withdrawal of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account in accordance with such instructions; it being acknowledged and agreed that the Borrower’s instruction to the Paying Agent to withdraw amounts on deposit in the Collection Account constitutes Borrower’s deemed certification to the Paying Agent that all conditions to such withdrawal set forth in this Section 2.11(f) have been satisfied and the Paying Agent may conclusively rely and act thereon (provided that the Paying Agent shall not have received written instructions from the Administrative Agent to the contrary prior to any action taken in 
54

connection with instructions previously received so as to allow the Paying Agent to act or refrain from acting as required) without liability to any Person.
(ah)Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent may demand payment or delivery of, and receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money and other property due and payable to or receivable by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall deposit or apply all such money and property received by it for the Secured Parties and shall apply it as instructed by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.08. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of any payment or performance under any Basic Document, the Collateral Agent may take such action as appropriate, and upon the written direction of the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall, subject to Section 12.06 take such action as instructed, to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.  Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim an Facility Amortization Event or an Event of Default under this Agreement and to proceed thereafter as provided in Article Ten hereof.
Section 1.1.Fees.
(ai)The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to each Agent, for the account of the related Lenders, monthly in arrears, the Unused Commitment Fee from the Collection Account in accordance with Section 2.08.  Payments of the Unused Commitment Fee shall be allocated and paid to Lenders based upon their respective Invested Percentages of the Loans Outstanding that are Class A Loans or Class B Loans, as applicable, for the applicable Interest Period.
(aj)The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Agents, on or prior to the Closing Date, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agents in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, including reasonable fees and out of pocket expenses of one counsel and one counsel for regulatory matters to each of the Credit Suisse Lender Group and the Atalaya Lender Group in immediately available funds.  In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay the Utilization Make-Whole Fee when due under the Fee Letter.
(ak)In accordance with Section 2.08, (i) the Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee, and (ii) the Borrower Loan Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Image File Custodian, the Paying Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive the Borrower Loan Trustee Fee, the Backup Servicing Fee, the Image File Custodian Fee, the Paying Agent/Collateral Agent Fee, respectively, in each case monthly in arrears, and (iii) the Third Party Allocation Agent (so long as such Third Party Allocation Agent is Computershare) shall be entitled to receive amounts due and owing to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 1.12.Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.
(al)If any Regulatory Change (i) subjects any Affected Party to any charge or withholding on or with respect to this Agreement or an Affected Party’s obligations under this Agreement, or on or with respect to a Loan and/or the Receivables, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Affected Party of any amounts payable under this Agreement (except for Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes), (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, fee, Tax (except for Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes), insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or liabilities of an Affected Party, or credit extended by an Affected Party pursuant to this Agreement or (iii) imposes any other condition affecting a Loan or a Lender’s right hereunder (other than Taxes), the result of which (A) is a fee, expense, internal capital charge or other imputed cost allocable to any Affected Party, (B) increases the cost to an Affected Party of performing its obligations 
55

under this Agreement or (C) reduces the rate of return on an Affected Party’s capital or assets as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement, or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, then, after demand by the applicable Agent on behalf of such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Affected Party, such amounts charged to such Affected Party or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Affected Party for such increased cost or such reduction in accordance with Section 2.08(a).  The Borrower acknowledges that any Affected Party may institute measures in anticipation of a Regulatory Change (including the imposition of internal charges on such Affected Party’s interests or obligations under this Agreement), and may commence allocating Early Adoption Increased Costs, in advance of the effective date of such Regulatory Change, and the Borrower agrees to pay such Early Adoption Increased Costs to the Affected Party within thirty (30) days after demand therefor without regard to whether such effective date has occurred; provided, however, that such amounts shall be payable to an Affected Party only if such Affected Party represents and warrants in writing to the Borrower that it is (1) recognizing internal charges in respect of such Affected Party’s interests or obligations under this Agreement in anticipation of a Regulatory Change and (2) applying consistent return metrics in making determinations to charge Early Adoption Increased Costs or similar amounts to its similarly situated consumer loan finance company customers; further provided, however, that no amount of Early Adoption Increased Costs shall begin to accrue or be payable by the Borrower in respect of an anticipated Regulatory Change until thirty (30) days after the Borrower’s receipt of written notice that such Affected Party intends to make a claim for Early Adoption Increased Costs under this Section in respect of such change.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any Early Adoption Increased Costs incurred by any Affected Party prior to the expiration of the 30-day notice period specified in the preceding sentence.  The Borrower further acknowledges that any charge or compensation demanded hereunder may take the form of a monthly charge to be assessed by such Affected Party.
(am)If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request (including the Dodd-Frank Act, Basel II, Basel III, the Volcker Rule or the Risk-Based Capital Requirements) or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with the interpretation of or any change in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), including compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (including the Dodd-Frank Act, Basel II, Basel III or the Risk-Based Capital Requirements), but in each case, excluding Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes, that 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, after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and reasonably estimated calculation of such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction in accordance with Section 2.08(a).
(an)If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in Section 2.13(a) or 2.13(b), any Affected Party is required to compensate a Credit Provider in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Loans hereunder, then after demand by such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any such amounts paid by it in accordance with Section 2.08(a).
56

(ao)In determining any amount provided for in this Section, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.  Any Affected Party making a claim under this Section shall submit to the Borrower a certificate describing such additional or increased cost or reduction in reasonable detail, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(ap)If any Lender has or anticipates having any claim for compensation from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13(a), and such Lender believes that having the Loans under this Agreement (or any related Credit Facility or Liquidity Facility provided by a Lender with respect to a Conduit Lender hereunder) rated by a particular nationally recognized statistical rating organization would reduce the amount of such compensation by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, such Lender shall provide a Ratings Request to the Borrower and the Servicer that such Lender intends to request a Required Rating.  The Borrower and the Servicer agree that they shall reasonably cooperate with such Lender’s efforts to obtain the Required Rating, and shall provide the applicable nationally recognized statistical rating organization (either directly or through distribution to the Administrative Agent or Lender) any information reasonably requested by such nationally recognized statistical rating organization for purposes of providing and monitoring the Required Rating.  The Borrower agrees to pay the initial fees payable to such nationally recognized statistical rating organization for providing the rating and all ongoing fees payable to such nationally recognized statistical rating organization for their continued monitoring of the rating.  Nothing in this subsection shall preclude any Lender from demanding compensation from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13(a) at any time and without regard to whether the Required Rating shall have been obtained, or shall require any Lender to obtain any rating on the facility prior to demanding any such compensation from the Borrower.
(aq)If in its sole discretion any Agent desires, such Agent shall provide a Rating Request to the Borrower and the Servicer (for the avoidance of doubt, such Rating Request will not require the Servicer to obtain a corporate credit rating for itself).  The Borrower and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with such Agent’s efforts to obtain a rating from the rating agency specified in the Rating Request, and shall provide the applicable rating agency (either directly or through distribution to such Agent) any information such rating agency may reasonably require that is in their possession or readily obtainable without undue cost or burden for purposes of providing and monitoring such rating. Such Agent shall pay the initial and ongoing fees payable to such rating agency in connection with such Rating Request.
Section 1.2.Taxes.
(ar)All payments made by the Borrower in respect of the Loans and all other payments made by the Borrower 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 (including FATCA), unless such withholding or deduction is required by Applicable Law.  In such event, the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such withholding or deduction and shall pay to the appropriate taxing authority the full amount deducted or withheld and if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes the amount payable to a Lender, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or an Agent, as the case may be, will be increased (such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that after deduction or withholding for or on account of any Indemnified Taxes (including any deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes imposed on such Additional Amount), the applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(as)The Borrower will indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes in respect of which the Borrower is required to pay Additional Amounts (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on such Additional Amounts) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Lender or the Administrative 
57

Agent making a demand for indemnity payment hereunder shall provide the Borrower with a certificate from the relevant taxing authority or from a Responsible Officer of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, stating or otherwise evidencing that it has made payment of such Taxes and will provide a copy of or extract from documentation, if available, furnished by such taxing authority evidencing assertion or payment of such Taxes, which, in each case, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  This indemnification shall be made within ten (10) days from the date a Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor.
(at)Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of any Taxes pursuant to this Section, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Agent at its address set forth below its name on the signature pages of this Agreement, the original or a certified copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Agent. 
(au)If an Agent or Lender is a U.S. Person, such Person shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent and the Paying Agent, upon the earlier of fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date or on or prior to the date on which such entity becomes an Agent or Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent), two executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Person is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.
(av)If an Agent or Lender is not created or organized under the laws of the United States or a State or is otherwise not a U.S. Person, such Person shall, to the extent that it may then do so under Applicable Law, deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent and the Paying Agent, upon the earlier of fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date, or on or prior to the date on which such entity becomes an Agent or Lender hereunder and (from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), (i) two executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or Form W-8IMY accompanied by the relevant certification documents for each beneficial owner, as appropriate, and (ii) two executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; provided, however, that the delivery of any form or documentation pursuant to this subclause (other than the specific IRS Forms and related documentation described in clause (i) above) shall not be required if in the related Agent’s or Lender’s reasonable judgment the completion, execution or delivery of such form or documentation would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(aw)If a payment made to any Agent or Lender under any Basic Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Agent or Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Agent or Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Paying Agent, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Paying Agent, such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Paying Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Paying Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Agent or Lender has 
58

complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
(ax)Each Agent and Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Paying Agent of its legal inability to do so.
(ay)The Administrative Agent and any successor Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower either (i) an executed copy of IRS Form W-9 or (ii) a duly completed and executed copy IRS Form W-8ECI to establish that the Administrative Agent is not subject to withholding Taxes under the Code with respect to amounts payable for the account of the Administrative Agent under any of the Basic Documents.  In addition, if the Administrative Agent is not a U.S. Person, the Administrative Agent agrees that, with respect to payments it receives on behalf of Lenders or an Agent, it shall deliver to the Borrower either (A) a duly executed original of IRS Form W-8IMY certifying on Part I and Part VI of such IRS Form W-8IMY (or applicable successor form or Parts) that it is a U.S. branch that has agreed to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal withholding Tax purposes with respect to payments received by it from the Borrower for the account of others under the Basic Documents or (B) a duly executed original of IRS Form W-8IMY certifying on Part I and Part III of such Form W-8IMY that it is a qualified intermediary that has assumed both (x) primary withholding and reporting obligations for purposes of chapters 3 and 4 of the Code and (y) primary IRS Form 1099 reporting and backup withholding responsibility.  The Administrative Agent agrees that if such IRS Form W-9 or, W-8ECI or W-8IMY, as applicable, previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(az)If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of Additional Amounts), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (i), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (i) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person or to file a refund or claim.
(ba)Each Agent and Lender is deemed to understand, acknowledge and agree that the Paying Agent has the right to withhold on payments (without any corresponding gross-up) where an applicable party fails to comply with the requirements of Applicable Law. The Borrower hereby covenants with the Paying Agent that the Borrower will provide the Paying Agent with sufficient information as requested by the Paying Agent so as to enable the Paying Agent to determine whether or not the Paying Agent is obliged to make any withholding, including under FATCA, in respect of any payments (and if applicable, to provide the necessary detailed information to 
59

effectuate any such withholding) and to provide such additional information as requested by the Paying Agent that it may have to assist the Paying Agent in making determinations as to its obligations with respect to any withholdings or informational reports. 
(bb)Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Basic Document.
Section 1.13.Securitizations.
(bc)On any Business Day, the Borrower shall have the right, by executing a Securitization Release in connection with a Securitization, to prepay all or a portion of the Loans Outstanding and require the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative Agent) to release its security interest and Lien on the related Receivables (and the other related Collateral), subject to the following terms and conditions:
(xiv)the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Agent, the Servicer, the Image File Custodian, the Paying Agent and the Backup Servicer, if any, at least thirty (30) days’ (or such lesser number of days as agreed to by the Required Lenders) prior written notice (in the form of Annex II to Exhibit G) of its intent to effect a Securitization;
(xv)unless a Securitization is to be effected on a Payment Date (in which case the relevant calculations with respect to such Securitization shall be reflected on the applicable Monthly Report), the Servicer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Agent (A) a Securitization Date Certificate (which shall include the relevant calculations with regard to such Securitization, including a calculation of the Class A Borrowing Base and the Total Borrowing Base after giving effect to such Securitization), together with evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the Agents that the Borrower shall have sufficient funds on the related Securitization Date so that no Class A Borrowing Base Deficiency or Total Borrowing Base Deficiency results from such Securitization, which funds may come from the proceeds of sales of the Receivables in connection with such Securitization (which sales must be made in arm’s-length transactions) and (B) a computer tape of the Receivables, both before and after giving effect to such Securitization;
(xvi)on the related Securitization Date, the following shall be true and correct and the Borrower shall be deemed to have certified that after giving effect to the Securitization and the release to the Borrower of the related Receivables (and the other related Collateral) on the related Securitization Date, (A) no adverse selection procedures (taking into consideration the eligibility criteria applicable to the related Securitization) shall have been used by the Borrower with respect to the Receivables that will remain subject to this Agreement after giving effect to the Securitization; provided, that, if the prepayment in connection with such Securitization is in an amount that is less than 100% of the Loans Outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall have confirmed in writing to the Borrower that it has determined, in its reasonable discretion, that such procedures will not result in an adverse selection of the Receivables subject to this Agreement, (B) no Class A Borrowing Base Deficiency or Total Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, (C) no Unmatured Event or Default, Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event has occurred or results from such release and Securitization, (D) if such Securitization Date is not a Payment Date, the Borrower shall have sufficient available funds on the immediately succeeding Payment Date to pay all amounts due and payable on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.08, (E) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.01 and 5.03 are true and correct in all material respects, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date as set forth therein and (F) with respect to any Receivables being transferred by the Borrower or First Heritage Entity in connection with such Securitization, the purchase price 
60

relating to such Receivables shall be at fair market value as determined in good faith by the Borrower and First Heritage, as applicable;
(xvii)on the related Securitization Date, (x) the Borrower shall have paid, in immediately available funds, to the applicable entities (A) the portion of the aggregate Loans Outstanding to be prepaid, (B) an amount equal to all unpaid Interest (including Interest not yet accrued) to the extent reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be attributable to that portion of the aggregate Loans Outstanding to be paid in connection with the Securitization, (C) an aggregate amount equal to the sum of all other amounts due and owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, to the extent accrued to such date and to accrue thereafter (including Breakage Costs) and (D) all other Aggregate Unpaids with respect thereto (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the portion of the aggregate Loans Outstanding not being prepaid on the Securitization Date and unpaid Interest thereon), and (y) each of the Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Image File Custodian and the Paying Agent shall have received all Aggregate Unpaids accrued and owing to such party on such date; 
(xviii)at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Securitization Date, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Agents, the Borrower Loan Trustee, and the Image File Custodian, a list specifying the Receivables being released pursuant to such Securitization;  
(xix)the Loans Outstanding that are Class A Loans shall be reduced by a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 dollars; 
(xx)the Loans Outstanding that are to be prepaid shall not exceed the amount necessary to avoid a Class A Borrowing Base Deficiency or a Total Borrowing Base Deficiency after giving effect to the Receivables sold to the Securitization; 
(xxi)the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such Securitization; and
(xxii)if the Administrative Agent has sent to the Borrower a request to repurchase Specified Delinquent Receivables pursuant to Section 5.06(h), the Borrower has caused such repurchase to occur.
(bd)The Borrower hereby agrees to pay the reasonable out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Image File Custodian and the Paying Agent in connection with any Securitization (including expenses incurred in connection with the release of the Lien of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any other party having such an interest in the Receivables in connection with such Securitization).
Section 1.1.Sharing Payments.  
(be)If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it any payment in excess of its Invested Percentage of the Loans Outstanding that are Class A Loans or Class B Loans, as applicable (such excess payment, the “Excess Amount”), such Lender shall immediately (i) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such fact and (ii) repay to the Borrower forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower the amount so distributed to such Lender in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Borrower, at the Federal Funds Rate.  The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the 
61

absence of manifest error) of Excess Amounts owed under this Section and will in each case notify each Agent following the payment of any Excess Amounts or the repayment thereof.
(bf)If any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.16(a), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), instruct the Servicer to instruct the Paying Agent pursuant to any related Monthly Report to apply any amounts thereafter allocated to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.08 to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under Section 2.16(a) until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
Section 1.14.Tax Treatment.  The Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree to treat the Loans and any interests therein as indebtedness of the Borrower secured by the Collateral for U.S. federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes.

(bl)The Paying Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability shall not be reasonably assured to it. None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Paying Agent to perform, or be responsible for or have any duty to supervise or monitor, the manner of performance of, any of the obligations or the acts or omissions of the Borrower, the Servicer or any other party under this Agreement, and the Paying Agent may assume performance of such parties absent written notice or actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent to the contrary.

The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Borrower or, if paid by the Paying Agent, shall be reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.08.

(bs)If the Paying Agent shall at any time receive conflicting instructions from the Administrative Agent and the Servicer or any other party to this Agreement and the conflict between such instructions cannot be resolved by reference to the terms of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on the instructions of the Administrative Agent.  In the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, Monthly Report, certificate of auditors, or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

64

(bu)Any Person into which the Paying Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Paying Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Paying Agent, provided that such Person otherwise meets the requirements of the definition of the term “Paying Agent”, shall be the successor of the Paying Agent under this Agreement, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(bv)The Paying Agent may at any time resign and terminate its obligations under this Agreement by providing written notice thereof to the Borrower, the Borrower Loan Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; provided, however, that except as provided below, no such resignation or termination shall be effective until a successor Paying Agent is appointed (and accepts such appointment) pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.18.  Promptly after receipt of notice of the Paying Agent’s intended resignation, the Borrower shall appoint, by written instrument, a successor Paying Agent.  If the Borrower fails to appoint a successor Paying Agent pursuant to the terms hereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Paying Agent’s notice of resignation, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall have the exclusive right to appoint by written instrument, a successor Paying Agent.  If neither the Borrower nor the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) has appointed a successor Paying Agent within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Paying Agent’s notice of resignation, the Paying Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Paying Agent, with the cost of such petition (including any attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) to be borne by the Borrower.

(bx)Before the Paying Agent acts or refrains from taking any action under this Agreement, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel from the party requesting that the Paying Agent act or refrain from acting in form and substance acceptable to the Paying Agent, the costs of which (including the Paying Agent’s reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) shall be paid by the party requesting that the Paying Agent act or refrain from acting.  The Paying Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on any such Officer’s Certificate and/or Opinion of Counsel.
(by)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall not be liable for any loss or damage or any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder if it is prevented from so performing its obligations by any reason which is beyond the control of the Paying Agent, including by any existing or future law or regulation, any existing or future act of governmental authority, act of God, flood, war whether declared or undeclared, terrorism, riot, rebellion, civil commotion, other industrial action, general failure of electricity or other supply, technical failure, accidental or mechanical or electrical breakdown, computer failure or failure of any money transmission system and any other market conditions affecting the execution or settlement of transactions or any event where, in the reasonable opinion of the Paying Agent, performance of any duty or obligation under or pursuant to this Agreement would or may be illegal or would result in the Paying Agent being in breach of any Applicable Law or any practice, request, direction, notice, announcement or similar action of any Governmental Authority to which the Paying Agent is subject.
(bz)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall not be required to take any action that is not in accordance with Applicable Law.
65

(ca)The right of the Paying Agent to perform any permissive or discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement or any related document shall not be construed as a duty.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement implies or requires that action or forbearance from action be taken by a party but is silent as to which party has the duty to act or refrain from acting, the parties hereto agree that the Paying Agent shall not be the party required to take the action or refrain from acting.

(cg)Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, neither the Paying Agent’s preparation or receipt of any reports or other documents pursuant to this Agreement or related agreements or documents nor any other publicly available information available to the Paying Agent shall constitute actual or constructive knowledge or written notice of any information contained therein.
66

(ch)The Paying Agent shall be entitled to any protection, privilege or indemnity afforded to the Image File Custodian under the terms of this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.  The Third Party Allocation Agent (so long as such Third Party Allocation Agent is Computershare) under the Intercreditor Agreement shall be entitled to any protection, privilege or indemnity afforded to the Paying Agent under the terms of this Agreement as though set forth in their entirety therein, mutatis mutandis.
(ci)In no event shall the Paying Agent be responsible or liable for punitive, special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Paying Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
(cj)The Paying Agent shall not be responsible for preparing or filing any reports or returns relating to federal, state or local income taxes with respect to this Agreement or any other Basic Document other than for the Paying Agent’s compensation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Basic Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace Term SOFR with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has provided such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection (which determination shall be made in good faith) to such amendment from Lenders constituting a majority of each class of Lenders (“Benchmark Transition Objection Notice”). Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders constituting a majority of each class of Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept (which determination shall be made in good faith) such amendment (the “Early Opt-in Consent”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to seek any Benchmark Transition Objection Notice or any Early Opt-in Consent from any Lender (and no Lender shall have any right to consent or object to any Benchmark Replacement) to the extent the Administrative Agent has elected to make or consented or not objected to the making of such amendments for comparable U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities. No replacement of Term SOFR with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section titled “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event” will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. If there is a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election, until such time as a Benchmark Replacement has been determined pursuant to this Section 2.19, Term SOFR shall be replaced with the Base Rate.
(cl)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time in a manner consistent with market practice and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Basic Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Basic Document.
(cm)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any 
67

determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent, Lenders or the Borrower pursuant to this Section titled “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event,” including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section titled “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.” In no event will the Borrower Loan Trustee be involved in or have any obligation or liability in relation to the determination of Term SOFR, the determination or selection of any Benchmark Replacement or the determination of any equivalent interest rate.
Section 1.16.Removal or Replacement of a Lender. 
    Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: 

(cn)(i) any Lender (other than a Lender in the Credit Suisse Lender Group or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent) (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) shall give notice to the Borrower that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.13 or Section 2.14, (ii) the circumstances which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; 
(co) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 16.01, the consent of Administrative Agent and any Lender that is an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; or
(cp)the Administrative Agent (together with any Lender directing the Administrative Agent, a “Benchmark Replacement Lender”) shall replace the Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.19 in a manner that is not in substantially the same manner as applied to other similarly situated borrowers under comparable credit facilities;
    then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender, Non-Consenting Lender or Benchmark Replacement Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), the Borrower may, by giving written notice to any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees identified by the Borrower (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.01; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued Interest on, all Loans Outstanding of the Terminated Lender, and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.06; (2) on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 and/or Section 2.14 and any other amounts due to such Terminated Lender; (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is an Increased-Cost Lender, such assignment will result in a reduction in any claims for payments under Section 2.13 and/or Section 2.14, as applicable, and (4) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Commitments, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, that any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.

(a)The grant under this Section does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by any Agent or any of the Secured Parties of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Person in connection with any or all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Contracts 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, (ii) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral and (iii) no Agent or any Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall any Agent or any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

Nothing in this Section shall diminish the Servicer’s obligations pursuant to Section 5.06 or 7.03(c) with respect to the proceeds of any such sale or other disposition.
70

(e)Upon (i) a transfer of Receivables in connection with a Securitization or (ii) the Facility Termination Date, the Administrative Agent shall direct the Collateral Agent, at the Borrower’s expense, upon payment in full of the related Aggregate Unpaids, to, and the Collateral Agent shall, execute and file such partial or full releases or partial or full assignments of financing statements and other documents and instruments as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower, in the form prepared by the Borrower, to effectuate the release of the relevant portion of the Collateral.
(f)The Collateral Agent will not, except as may result from the exercise of its remedies hereunder, have legal title to any part of the Collateral on the Facility Termination Date and will have no further interest in or rights with respect to the Collateral.

Section 1.08.Protection of Security Interest; Collateral Agent, as Attorney-in-Fact.
(a)The Borrower for itself and on behalf of the Borrower Loan Trustee agrees that from time to time, at the expense of the Borrower, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may reasonably be necessary, or that the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Agent may reasonably deem necessary, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent in the Receivables and the other Collateral, or to enable the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder.
(b)If the Borrower or the Borrower Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder after five (5) Business Days’ notice from the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower as provided in Article Eleven.  Each of the Borrower and the Borrower Loan Trustee irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent and appoints the Collateral Agent, as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Borrower and the Borrower Loan Trustee, (i) to execute or cause to be executed on behalf of the Borrower as debtor and the Borrower Loan Trustee and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Collateral Agent’s or the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Secured Parties in the Receivables and the other Collateral, including financing statements that describe the collateral covered thereby as “all assets of the Debtor whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located”, except with respect to financing statements naming the Borrower Loan Trustee as debtor, which such financing statements shall describe the Collateral as set forth herein and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables and the other Collateral, as a financing statement in such offices as the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of 
71

the interests of the Secured Parties in the Receivables and the other Collateral; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall not be obliged to execute, file or authorize such instruments or take any other action in connection with such appointment and shall have no liability in connection therewith, including as a result of a failure of any such instruments to be filed.  This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The Borrower Loan Trustee shall not be liable for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, such appointment of the Collateral Agent or any of its agents as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Borrower Loan Trustee as described herein, and the Borrower shall indemnify and hold the Borrower Loan Trustee harmless against any costs, liabilities, expenses, losses, claims, damages, fines or penalties of any nature incurred in connection therewith. 
(c)The Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Agent, the Borrower Loan Trustee and the Backup Servicer an electronic data file containing a true and complete list of all such Receivables, identified by account number and principal balance as of the end of the Collection Period ending immediately prior to the initial Funding Date.  Such file or list shall be marked as the Schedule of Receivables attached hereto as Schedule C hereto, delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Agent and the Backup Servicer as confidential and proprietary information, and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.  The Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, agrees to deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at such times as requested by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with a third-party’s request to review the Schedule of Receivables, as provided in the financing statement filed pursuant hereto under the UCC naming the Collateral Agent as secured party, an electronic data file containing a true and complete list of all Receivables, including all Receivables created after the initial Cutoff Date, in existence as of the later of (x) the last day of the prior Collection Period, (y) the most recent Funding Date or (z) the most recent Securitization Date by account number and by Principal Balance as of such day or date.

Each of the Borrower and the Borrower Loan Trustee confirms that the Collateral Agent shall have the sole right to enforce the Borrower’s and the Borrower Loan Trustee’s, as applicable, rights and remedies under the Purchase Agreement for the benefit of the Secured Parties, but without any obligation on the part of the Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower or the Borrower Loan Trustee under the Purchase Agreement.  Each of the Borrower and the Borrower Loan Trustee further confirms and agrees that such collateral assignment to the Collateral Agent shall terminate upon the Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that the rights of the Secured Parties pursuant to such collateral assignment with respect to rights and remedies in connection with any indemnities and any breach of any representation, warranty or covenants made by the Originators pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, which rights and remedies survive the termination of the Purchase Agreement, shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of such collateral assignment.
Section 1.010.Waiver of Certain Laws.  Each of the Borrower, the Borrower Loan Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Image File Custodian, 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 
72

hereafter in force in any locality where any part of the 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 Borrower, the Borrower Loan Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Image File Custodian, 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 Collateral Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such parcels as the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such court may determine.

The Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of written notice by a Responsible Officer thereof of any of the foregoing, forward written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as soon as reasonably practicable.
(l)The Collateral Agent shall appoint only its own personnel (or personnel of its subcontractors) as “authorized users” (or such similar concept specified in the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement and in the System Description) in respect of the Electronic Vault and the Contracts contained therein and shall not otherwise permit any Person to have access to thereto other than (1) prior to the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control under (and as defined in) the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement, designated officers of the Servicer, (2) from and after the delivery of a “notice of exclusive control” under (and as defined in) the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement (or such similar concept as may be used therein), the Required Lenders and any Person appointed by the Required Lenders as an “administrative user”, (3) personnel of Electronic Vault Provider in connection with providing technical support to any such “authorized users” and (4) the Required Lenders and their respective agents or representatives in connection with an audit pursuant to Section 7.03(h).  The Collateral Agent shall not provide any Person other than the Required Lenders with any right to control the actions of the Collateral Agent under the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement, or any consent or approval rights in respect of the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement or any rights thereunder or any provisions thereof, or permit any other Person to direct the Servicer to take or refrain from taking any action, in each case, which could affect the Contracts.
(m)The Collateral Agent shall not agree to amend, or provide any consents, waivers or directions under, the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent.
(n)Upon the occurrence of (x) an Event of Default, (y) the termination of Electronic Vault Services Agreement or the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement or the delivery of any notice of termination thereunder or (z) a determination by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, each in their reasonable discretion, that the functionality, security, integrity or reliability of the Electronic Vault System (or any portion thereof) is impaired or the Contracts are otherwise adversely affected by any event (including any change in configuration, technology or law) or circumstance with respect to the Electronic Vault Provider, the Collateral Agent, the Electronic Vault System, the Electronic Vault Services Agreement, the Electronic Collateral Control 
74

Agreement or Electronic Contracts generally, including, without limitation, adverse claims being asserted therein by the Electronic Vault Provider or other lenders, (1) the Collateral Agent shall, notwithstanding any contrary instruction received from the First Heritage Entities, promptly take such reasonable action with respect to the Electronic Contracts and the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement, as the Administrative Agent may direct in writing (including, without limitation, causing the export of the Contracts maintained within the Electronic Vault System) and (2) the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent) as “secured party” under the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement shall deliver a “notice of exclusive control” under (and as defined in) the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement.
(o)On the date of the satisfaction of the Electronic Chattel Paper Condition, the initial Servicer and the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant to the Secured Parties as of the date thereof and as of each Funding Date thereafter that none of the First Heritage Entities has any right of access to the Electronic Vault under the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders), except in accordance with the terms thereof and the terms of this Agreement.

The Collateral Agent shall be deemed, upon receipt of the Release Price into the Collection Account or upon receipt of a Substitute Receivable in respect of any affected Receivable repurchased or substituted by the Borrower and the Borrower Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof, as applicable, to convey to the Borrower and the Borrower Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Borrower, without recourse, representation or warranty, all of its right, title and interest in each such affected Receivable.  In consideration of a release, (i) in the case of a repurchased Receivable, the Borrower shall, on the date of release of such affected Receivable, make or cause to be made a deposit of the Release Price to the Collection Account in immediately available funds and/or via an ACH transaction and (ii) in the case of a substituted Receivable, include the Substitute Receivable as part of the Collateral hereunder.  Upon each release to the Borrower and the Borrower Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Borrower of such an affected Receivable, the Collateral Agent shall automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer, assign and set-over to the Borrower and the Borrower Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Borrower, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent in, to and under such Receivable and all future monies due or to become due with respect thereto (as of the end of the Collection Period immediately prior to the date of repurchase or substitution), all proceeds of such Receivable and Net Liquidation Proceeds relating thereto, all rights to security for any such Receivable, and all proceeds and products of the foregoing (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Release Price).  In connection with the addition of any Substitute Receivable to the Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.06, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented, as of the related date of substitution, that such Substitute Receivable is an Eligible Receivable.  In any of the foregoing instances, the aggregate Eligible Receivables Principal Balance shall be reduced by the Principal Balance (as of the end of the most recent Collection Period) of each such affected Receivable and, if applicable, increased by the Principal Balance of each such Substitute Receivable.  On and after the date of release, any affected Receivable so released shall not be included in the Collateral and, as applicable, the related Substitute Receivable shall be included in the Collateral.  The Administrative Agent shall direct the Collateral Agent, at the sole expense of the Originators, to execute such documents and instruments of release as may be prepared by First Heritage on behalf of the Borrower and take other such actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Borrower Loan Trustee to effect the release of such a Receivable removed from the Collateral pursuant to this subsection.  The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer and each Agent an updated Schedule of Receivables in connection with any such repurchase or substitution hereunder, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.03(c).
(q)Without limiting Sections 5.06(a), 5.06(c) or 5.06(d), with respect to any Receivable for which the Custodian Certification has identified any exception (which exception, in the case of clause (d) of Section 9.07(b)(2), represents a variance of more than 20 basis points (0.20%) and, in the case of clause (e) of Section 9.07(b)(2), represents a variance of more than 20 basis points (0.20%)), which has not been corrected by the Borrower or the Servicer in a manner acceptable to, or waived in writing by, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) on or before the earlier of (x) the next Payment Date following the Collection Period in which the Image File Custodian delivered the related Custodian Certification for such Receivable or (y) if such Payment Date mentioned in clause (x) is more than thirty (30) days following the date that the Image File Custodian delivered the related Custodian Certification for such Receivable, the date that is thirty (30) days following the date that the Image File Custodian delivered the related Custodian Certification for such Receivable (a “Certification Repurchase Date”), then the Borrower shall remove or cause the removal of the related Receivable from the 
87

Collateral, and the Borrower shall acquire and repurchase, respectively, such Receivable from the Collateral and deposit the Release Price into the Collection Account on or before the Certification Repurchase Date. None of the Collateral Agent, the Image File Custodian, the Backup Servicer, Paying Agent or Borrower Loan Trustee is responsible for monitoring or enforcing repurchase requirements. Other than a review in accordance with Section 9.07(c), with respect to each Initial Receivable and any Subsequent Receivable, the Image File Custodian shall have no duty or obligation to review any of the Imaged Files. Upon each release to the Servicer of such an affected Receivable, the Collateral Agent shall automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer, assign and set-over to the Servicer, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent in, to and under such Receivable and all future monies due or to become due with respect thereto (as of the end of the Collection Period immediately prior to the date of repurchase or substitution), all proceeds of such Receivable and Net Liquidation Proceeds relating thereto, all rights to security for any such Receivable, and all proceeds and products of the foregoing (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Release Price).

(s)In the event that the Servicer breaches a servicing covenant pursuant to Section 7.03(c)(i), no later than the earlier of (i) knowledge by the Servicer of such event or (ii) receipt by the Servicer from the Administrative Agent, a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or the Borrower Loan Trustee of written notice thereof, the Servicer shall (A) disclose the identity of each Receivable that is adversely affected in any material respect by such breach on the next Monthly Report relating to the Collection Period in which such Receivable was determined adversely affected by such breach and (B) on or before the next Payment Date relating to the Collection Period in which such Receivable was determined adversely affected by such breach, to the extent such breach has not been cured or waived, make a deposit of the Release Price for each such adversely affected Receivable into the Collection Account in immediately available funds, and the Borrower and the Borrower Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Borrower shall accept the release of such Receivable(s), in each case as described in Section 5.06(a). Upon each release to the Servicer of such an affected Receivable, the Collateral Agent shall automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer, assign and set-over to the Servicer, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent in, to and under such Receivable and all future monies due or to become due with respect thereto (as of the end of the Collection Period immediately prior to the date of repurchase or substitution), all proceeds of such Receivable and Net Liquidation Proceeds relating thereto, all rights to security for any such Receivable, and all proceeds and products of the foregoing (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Release Price).  The Servicer’s repurchase described in this Section 5.06(d) shall be the sole remedy (other than any indemnification obligations herein) for the Servicer’s breach of a servicing covenant pursuant to Section 7.03(c)(i).
(t)In the event that the Servicer identifies a third party to purchase a Charged-Off Receivable in accordance with the Collection Policy (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any Receivable required to be repurchased pursuant to Sections 5.06(a), (b) and (d)), the Servicer shall make a deposit of the Charged-Off Receivable Release Price for such Charged-Off Receivable into the Collection Account in immediately available funds, and the Borrower and the Borrower Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Borrower shall accept the release of such Charged-Off Receivable as described in Section 5.06(a) so that the Servicer, on its own behalf, can then sell such Charged-Off Receivable to the third party purchaser. Upon the release to the Borrower and the Borrower Loan Trustee of such Charged-Off Receivable, the Collateral Agent 
88

shall automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer, assign and set-over to the Borrower and the Borrower Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Borrower, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent in, to and under such Charged-Off Receivable and all future monies due or to become due with respect thereto, all proceeds of such Charged-Off Receivable and Net Liquidation Proceeds relating thereto, all rights to security for any such Charged-Off Receivable, and all proceeds and products of the foregoing (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Charged-Off Receivable Release Price).
(u)The Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, shall provide written notice to the Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Administrative Agent and each Lender on the Monthly Report of any release of Receivables pursuant to Sections 5.06(a), (b), (d) and (e). 
(v)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Agent or any Lender and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Borrower may sell and transfer any Receivable that is not an Eligible Receivable following the Funding Date with respect to such Receivable  to the related Originator in exchange for the related Originator paying the Release Price of such Receivable to the Borrower.  Such sale shall occur on any Business Day as agreed to by the Borrower and such Originator and Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (1) a written notice prior to such date of sale attaching a schedule identifying the Receivables to be released from the Lien of this Agreement, and (2) a report as of such date that, after giving effect to such sale, the amount of all Loans Outstanding that are Class A Loans does not exceed the Class A Borrowing Base and the  aggregate amount of all Loans Outstanding does not exceed the Total Borrowing Base (each calculated as of the previous Determination Date or, with respect to the initial Funding Date or any Receivables added to the Collateral following such Determination Date, but prior to or on such date of determination, the related Cutoff Date); provided, that no such sale and transfer of any such Receivable shall be permissible or effective if the aggregate principal balance of all Receivables purchased by the Originators in connection with this Section 5.06(g) and with Section 5.06(h) as of the date of such sale and transfer exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal balance of all Receivables acquired by Borrower during the term of this Agreement as of the date of such sale and transfer.  The proceeds of any such sale and transfer of any Receivable under this paragraph shall be deposited directly into the Collection Account on the date of such sale and the Collateral Agent’s Lien on such sold Receivables shall be automatically released upon deposit therein.
(w)In connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 2.15, the Borrower shall have the right to designate specific Receivables included in the Collateral on the related Securitization Date that shall be excluded from the Receivables being measured in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (v) of the definition of each of “Level I Trigger Event”, “Level II Trigger Event” and “Level III Trigger Event”, by delivering a schedule of such Receivables to the Administrative Agent on such Securitization Date (such Receivables, the “Specified Delinquent Receivables”), provided that the following conditions are satisfied: (x) the Specified Delinquent Receivables shall be limited to the Specified Percentage multiplied by the number of Delinquent Receivables (61+ Days) included in the Collateral as of such Securitization Date; provided, that, if the Receivables being released from the Lien of the Collateral Agent in connection with such Securitization do not include Delinquent Receivables (31+ Days), then such Specified Delinquent Receivables shall be limited to the Specified Percentage multiplied by the number of Delinquent Receivables (31+ Days) included in the Collateral as of such Securitization Date, and (y) no adverse selection procedures shall have been used by the Borrower with respect to designating the Specified Delinquent Receivables, including, without limitation, that Receivables were designated pro rata across the related aging buckets.  At the Administrative Agent’s request, the Borrower shall cause the related Originator to, within five (5) Business Days of such request, repurchase the Specified Delinquent Receivables for an amount equal to the aggregate Principal Balance of such Receivables (as of the last day of the month preceding such request), plus accrued and unpaid 
89

interest on such Receivables (at the related APRs) through the date of purchase and all related Breakage Costs, and deposit such amounts into the Collection Account in immediately available funds; provided, that no such sale and transfer of any such Specified Delinquent Receivable shall be permissible or effective if the aggregate principal balance of all Receivables purchased by the Originators in connection with this Section 5.06(h) and with Section 5.06(g) as of the date of such sale and transfer exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal balance of all Receivables acquired by Borrower during the term of this Agreement as of the date of such sale and transfer.

(i)Authority. Each of the Servicer and each Subservicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through any party properly designated by it hereunder, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. The Servicer and each Subservicer, in making collection of Receivable payments pursuant to this Agreement, shall be acting as agent for the Secured Parties, and shall be deemed to be holding such funds in trust on behalf of and as agent for Borrower, the Borrower Loan Trustee and the Secured Parties.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to Section 7.11, each of the Servicer and each Subservicer or its designee is hereby authorized and empowered, unless such power is revoked by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) on account of the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event pursuant to Section 7.11, (i) to effect, on behalf of the Borrower, the Borrower Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Collateral Agent, Renewals with respect to Receivables in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement and (ii) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Borrower, the Borrower Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Collateral Agent, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables and, after the delinquency of any Receivable and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence collection proceedings with respect to such Receivables, in each case, subject to the terms of this Agreement.  The Servicer and each Subservicer may in its discretion in accordance with the Collection Policy (1) grant extensions, rebates or adjustments on a Contract and amend or modify any Contract or Receivable and (2) waive any late payment charge or any other fees (not including interest on the Principal Balance of a Receivable) that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing any Receivable.  The Borrower, the Borrower Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Borrower, and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall furnish the Servicer with any documents reasonably requested by the Servicer or otherwise necessary to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, however, that none of the Borrower Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such documents by the Servicer, the Subservicers or any of its agents and the Servicer shall indemnify and hold such Persons harmless against any costs, liabilities, expenses, losses, claims, damages, fines or penalties of any nature incurred in connection therewith.

The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited all Collections to the Collection Account no later than the second (2nd) Business Day following the date of receipt of such Collections, whether such Collections were received centrally, at a local branch or otherwise. 
(iii)Adjustments. If (i) the Servicer or any Subservicer makes a deposit into the Collection Account in respect of a collection of a Receivable and such collection was received by the Servicer or Subservicer, as applicable, or in the form of a check or other payment which is not honored or is reversed for any reason or (ii) the Servicer or any Subservicer 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 or such Subservicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored or reversed payment or mistake. Any such adjustment shall be reflected in the records of the Servicer or the applicable Subservicer with respect to such Receivable.  Any Scheduled Payment in respect of which a dishonored check or reversed payment is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.
(ac)Delegation of Duties. The Servicer may, at any time without notice or consent, delegate (a) any or all of its duties (including, without limitation, any duties as custodian) under the Basic 
106

Documents to any of its Affiliates or (b) specific duties (including, without limitation, any duties as custodian) to sub-contractors (including the Subservicers) who are in the business of performing such duties, it being understood that Computershare as successor Servicer may, at any time without notice or consent, delegate any or all of its duties under the Basic Documents to any such sub-contractors; provided, that no such delegation shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties and the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Borrower, the Borrower Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Collateral Agent for its duties hereunder as if the Servicer alone were performing such duties. For any servicing activities delegated to third parties in accordance with this Agreement, the Servicer shall follow such policies and procedures to monitor the performance of such third parties and compliance with such servicing activities as the Servicer follows with respect to comparable personal loans serviced by the Servicer for its own account.
(ad)Security Interests.

(ae)Fidelity Bond/Insurance.  Each of the Servicer and each Subservicer each hereby represents, warrants and covenants that is has obtained and shall continue to maintain in full force and effect a fidelity bond or comparable insurance in such form and amount as is customary for prudent servicers acting as custodian of funds and documents in respect of consumer contracts similar to the Receivables on behalf of institutional investors.  All insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this section shall name the Borrower and the Borrower Loan Trustee as an additional insured. 
(af)Recordkeeping.  The Servicer shall:

(a)Inspection.  The Servicer and each Subservicer shall permit the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer, each Agent, the Lenders and their agents and representatives, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice (provided that from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event, five (5) Business Days’ prior notice) and during regular business hours, to periodically, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer and the Lenders, as applicable, review the collection and administration of the Receivables by the Servicer and the Subservicers in order to assess compliance by the Servicer and the Subservicers with the Collection Policy and this Agreement and may conduct a review of the Receivables and Receivable Files in conjunction with such a review.  Such review may 
107

include tours of the facilities of the Servicer and the Subservicers and discussions with their respective managements.  Reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such visit, review and inspection conducted pursuant to this subsection and the reports described in Section 7.08 shall be at the Servicer’s expense not to exceed $100,000 in any one calendar year; provided, that if no Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer, each Agent, the Lenders or their respective agents or representatives shall only be entitled to conduct one such inspection during any 12-month period beginning on the Closing Date and on each anniversary thereof and provided, further, that if an Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, there shall be no limit on the number of such visits, reviews and inspections the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer, each Agent, the Lenders or their respective agents or representatives shall be entitled to conduct and there shall be no cap on the reimbursement by the Servicer of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer, each Agent, the Lenders or their respective agents or representatives in connection therewith.  It is anticipated that each inspection by the Administrative Agent (or its designee) of the Servicer or Subservicers will be a full operational, legal, compliance and collateral audit and will verify among other items, the existence of Collateral, cash application and aging and eligibility, will include a litigation and regulatory review, and will confirm that internal ratings actually applied conform to underwriting standards.  Each audit by the Administrative Agent (or its designee) will also include a sample review of no fewer than 125 Receivable Files and Servicer Files to check the accuracy of information provided by the Borrower, the Servicer or the Subservicers.  The Servicer shall reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Lenders and the Agents for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties in connection with the foregoing actions promptly upon receipt of a written invoice therefor. Nothing in this Section shall derogate from the obligation of the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer, each Agent, the Lenders (and their agents and representatives), the Servicer and the Subservicers to observe any Applicable Law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of the Servicer or any Subservicer to provide access to information as provided in this Section, the disclosure of which is prohibited by Applicable Law, shall not constitute a breach of this Section.  Any audit, visit or inspection provided for herein shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Servicer respecting safety and security on its premises. Any access granted to Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer, each Agent, the Lenders and their agents and representatives shall be coordinated and at the same time. Neither the foregoing nor any other provision of this Agreement shall be construed to give rise to a right, expectation or other entitlement on the part of any Person to inspect, examine, access or visit any Computershare data center, Computershare computer system or other secure Computershare facility, including at any such time that Computershare may be serving as Successor Servicer.
(b)Custody of Receivable Files.

(i)(v) below, shall ensure that, following satisfaction of the Electronic Chattel Paper Condition, the Electronic Contracts (other than Specified Electronic Contracts) are maintained by the Electronic Vault Provider as a designated custodian of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in the Electronic Vault.  In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act in accordance with its customary servicing practices.  The Servicer will promptly report to the Borrower, the Borrower Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders any failure on its part or on the part of a Subservicer acting as subcustodian to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its account, records, and computer systems as herein provided or promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure.  Nothing herein will be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Secured Parties of the Receivable Files.  The Servicer will make available to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each Lender or their duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors a list of locations of the Receivable Files upon reasonable requests.  
(iii)Effective Period and Termination.

The Servicer may effect, on behalf of the Borrower and the Borrower Loan Trustee, Renewals with respect to Receivables in accordance with the Collection Policy and the requirements of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.

The Borrower will be required to pay all reasonable fees and expenses owing to the Paying Agent in connection with the maintenance of the Accounts for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor.
To the extent that the Reserve Account or Collection Account is a “securities account” within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC:

(a)On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), until a date mutually agreed upon by the Servicer, the Backup Servicer (if the Backup Servicer becomes the Successor Servicer) and the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders); provided, however, that the Backup Servicer (if the Backup Servicer becomes the Successor Servicer) shall use its best efforts to effect the transition of the servicing and will assume the duties of the Servicer no more than sixty (60) days after receipt by the Servicer and the Backup Servicer of the Servicer Termination Notice; provided, that, if the Servicer at such time was servicing the Receivables using two separate servicing platforms, then the Backup Servicer will assume the duties of the Servicer no more than ninety (90) days after receipt by the Servicer and the Backup Servicer of the Servicer Termination Notice.  The Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall, at the time described in the immediately preceding sentence, appoint the Backup Servicer as the Successor Servicer hereunder, and the Backup Servicer shall, except to the extent otherwise set forth herein, on such date assume all duties, liabilities and obligations of the Servicer hereunder from and after such date, and all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer.
(b)In the event that the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) does not so appoint the Backup Servicer to succeed the Servicer as Servicer hereunder 
114

or the Backup Servicer is unable to assume such obligations on the date specified, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall as promptly as possible appoint a different entity to be the Successor Servicer, and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption agreement in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) designates as Successor Servicer any Person other than the Backup Servicer, the Administrative Agent shall provide ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to each Loan Rating Agency, if any.  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 (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000, that meets (or the parents of which meets) the Long-Term Ratings Requirement and whose regular business includes the servicing of personal loans as the Successor Servicer hereunder.
(c)The Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall have the same rights of removal and termination for cause with respect to any Successor Servicer as with respect to First Heritage as the Servicer.
(d)All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Backup Servicer or other Successor Servicer in connection with the transfer and assumption of servicing obligations hereunder from the Servicer to the Backup Servicer or other Successor Servicer, converting the Servicer’s data to such Person’s computer system and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of a written invoice setting forth reasonable transition expenses not exceeding, if the Servicer is at such time utilizing one servicing system for the servicing of the Receivables, $250,000, and if the Servicer is at such time utilizing two servicing systems for the servicing of the Receivables, $500,000 (the “Transition Expenses”) in the aggregate as to the Backup Servicer or other Successor Servicer.  In no event shall the Successor Servicer be responsible for any Transition Expenses.  If the predecessor Servicer fails promptly to pay the Transition Expenses, the Transition Expenses shall be payable pursuant to Section 2.08.
(e)Upon the termination and removal of the Servicer and the assumption by the Successor Servicer hereunder, the predecessor Servicer and each Subservicer shall cooperate with the Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the rights and responsibilities of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all Collections that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or shall thereafter be received, with respect to a Receivable, the Collection Account, the Reserve Account and Servicer Files and other records maintained by the Servicer.
(f)Subject to Section 7.13 and Section 7.15(b), upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer 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, be entitled to the rights, protections, indemnities and immunities, of the Servicer hereunder and thereunder, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document to the contrary, any Successor Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect to any obligation which was required to be performed by the predecessor Servicer prior to the date that the successor becomes the Successor Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the predecessor Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any repurchase, reacquiring, reimbursement or advancing obligations, if any, of the Servicer, (iii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer, (iv) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to this 
115

Agreement, (v) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification, defense or hold harmless obligations of any prior Servicer, (vi) no obligation to service the Receivables in accordance with the collection policies of First Heritage, but shall use its customary collection policies for similar assets, and (vii) no obligation for any deficiency collections or enforcement of the Borrower’s or the Originators’ rights under any Purchase Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Backup Servicer becomes the Successor Servicer, (i) any provision hereof or any other Basic Document providing that the Servicer shall take or omit to take any action, or shall have any obligation to do or not do any other thing, upon its “knowledge” (or any derivation thereof), “discovery” (or any derivation thereof) or awareness (or any derivation thereof) shall be interpreted as the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Backup Servicer as Successor Servicer, (ii) the Backup Servicer as Successor Servicer shall not be liable for any claims, liabilities or expenses relating to the engagement or any report issued in connection with such engagement and dissemination of any such report of any accountants appointed by it, as Successor Servicer, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, and the dissemination of such report shall, if applicable, be subject to the consent of such accountants, (iii) the Backup Servicer as Successor Servicer shall have no obligation to provide investment direction with respect to any funds in the Accounts, which direction shall be given by the Borrower, (iv) such Successor Servicer shall in no event be obligated to assume, or be deemed to have assumed, the duties, obligations or liabilities of any Person other than the Servicer, solely in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement. The indemnification obligations of the Backup Servicer, upon becoming Successor Servicer are expressly limited to liability caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Backup Servicer in its role as Successor Servicer, as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(g)All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of the Servicer as servicer and shall pass to and be vested in the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent 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 Borrower in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing of the Receivables. 
(h)The Administrative Agent may, solely for purposes of establishing the fee to be paid to any Successor Servicer after a notice of removal of the Servicer pursuant to this Article, solicit written bids (such bids to include a proposed servicer fee and servicing transfer costs) from not less than three entities experienced in the servicing of consumer loan receivables similar to the Receivables and that are not Affiliates of the Servicer or the Borrower and are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders).  Any such written solicitation shall prominently indicate that bids should specify any applicable subservicing fees required to be paid from the Servicing Fee and that any fees and transfer costs in excess of the Servicing Fee shall be paid by the Borrower from amounts received pursuant to Section 2.08. The Borrower may also solicit additional bids from other such entities.  Such Successor Servicer (if a Person other than the Backup Servicer) shall act as Servicer hereunder and shall, subject to the availability of sufficient funds in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.08 (up to the Servicing Fee), receive as compensation therefor a fee equal to the fee proposed in the bid so solicited which provides for the lowest combinations of servicing fee and transition costs, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) and may revise the percentage used to calculate the Servicing Fee, which, if the Backup Servicer is not the Successor Servicer, may be adjusted in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders).

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Backup Servicer shall not be liable for any obligation or the acts or omissions of the Borrower, the Borrower Loan Trustee, the Servicer (so long as it is not the Successor Servicer, in which case it shall be obligated to perform as Servicer hereunder) or any other Person, contained in this Agreement, and the parties shall look only to such parties to perform such obligations, and the Backup Servicer may assume performance of such parties absent written notice or actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Backup Servicer to the contrary.

The Backup Servicer’s entitlement to receive the Backup Servicing Fee shall cease on the earliest to occur of (i) it becoming the Successor Servicer, (ii) its removal as Backup Servicer pursuant to Section 8.04, (iii) its resignation in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.05 and (iv) the termination of this Agreement.
Section 1.04.Backup Servicer Removal.  The Backup Servicer may be removed in connection with a breach by the Backup Servicer in any material respect of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Backup Servicer under this Agreement, or otherwise in the discretion of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), by thirty (30) days’ prior notice given in writing and delivered to the Backup Servicer from the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) (the “Backup Servicer Termination Notice”).  On and after the receipt by the Backup Servicer of the Backup Servicer Termination Notice, the Backup Servicer shall continue to perform all backup servicing functions under this Agreement, subject to Section 8.05, until the date specified in the Backup Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) in writing or, if no such date is specified in the Backup Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), until a 
123

date mutually agreed upon by the Backup Servicer and the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders).
Section 1.05.The Backup Servicer Not to Resign.  The Backup Servicer shall resign only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders or if the Backup Servicer provides an Opinion of Counsel to the Administrative Agent to the effect that the Backup Servicer is no longer permitted by Applicable Law to act as Backup Servicer hereunder.  No termination or resignation of the Backup Servicer hereunder shall be effective until a successor Backup Servicer, acceptable to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) has accepted its appointment as successor Backup Servicer hereunder and has agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If, however, a successor Backup Servicer is not appointed by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) within thirty (30) days after the giving of notice of resignation or termination, the Backup Servicer may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Backup Servicer, with the cost of such petition (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) to be borne by the Borrower.

(ii)Preservation of Existence.  The Backup Servicer will preserve and maintain its existence, rights, franchises and privileges in the jurisdiction of its formation, and qualify and remain qualified and validly existing under federal law where the failure to preserve and maintain such existence, rights, franchises, privileges and qualification has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
(r)Negative Covenant.  From the date of its appointment until the Facility Termination Date, the Backup Servicer will not make any changes to the Backup Servicing Fee without the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) and, so long as no Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event has occurred, the Borrower.
Section 1.03.Merger of the Backup Servicer.  Any Person into which the Backup Servicer (in such capacity or in its capacity as Successor Servicer) may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which to Backup Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Backup Servicer, shall be the successor of the Backup Servicer under this Agreement, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 1.04.Privilege.  The Backup Servicer shall be entitled to any protection, privilege or indemnity afforded to the Paying Agent under the terms of this Agreement.

The directors, officers, employees or agents of the Image File Custodian shall not be under any liability to any Secured Party, the Borrower or any other Person hereunder or pursuant to any document delivered hereunder, it being expressly understood that all such liability is expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution of this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Image File Custodian against any liability which would be imposed by reason of willful 
127

misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties.

Section 1.03.Certain Matters Affecting the Image File Custodian.
(r)The Image File Custodian shall have no duties or responsibilities except those that are specifically set forth herein, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Image File Custodian.  If the Image File Custodian shall request instructions from the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Servicer with respect to any act, action or failure to act in connection with and as set forth in this Agreement, the Image File Custodian shall be entitled to refrain from taking such action and continue to refrain from acting unless and until the Image File Custodian shall have received written instructions from the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Servicer, as applicable without incurring any liability therefor to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Borrower, the Borrower Loan Trustee, the Servicer or any other Person.
(s)The Image File Custodian may act in reliance upon any written communication of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent concerning the delivery of the Imaged Files for any of the Receivables and other items of Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.  The Image File Custodian shall not be liable for any action or omission to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.  In no event shall the Image File Custodian have any responsibility to ascertain or take action with respect to the Imaged Files relating to any of the Receivables or other Collateral, except as expressly provided herein.
THE FOREGOING PARAGRAPH SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LIABILITIES ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT OWED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UNDER ANY CLAIM OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY, OR ARE CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, BY ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY KIND BY THE IMAGE FILE CUSTODIAN.
(t)If the Image File Custodian shall at any time receive conflicting instructions from the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Servicer or any other party to this Agreement and the conflict between such instructions cannot be resolved by reference to the terms of this Agreement, the Image File Custodian shall be entitled to rely on the instructions of the Collateral Agent.  In the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Image File Custodian, the Image File Custodian may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, any Monthly Report, any Monthly Loan Tape, certificate of auditors, or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.  The Image File Custodian may conclusively rely upon the validity of documents delivered to it, without investigation as to their authenticity or legal effectiveness, and the Servicer and the other parties to this Agreement will hold the Image File Custodian harmless from any claims that may arise or be asserted against the Image File Custodian because of the invalidity of any such documents or their failure to fulfill their intended purpose.  The Image File Custodian shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement on the part of any party, except as may otherwise be 
128

specifically set forth herein.  The Image File Custodian may consult with counsel of its choice with regard to legal questions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by the Image File Custodian in good faith in accordance therewith.
(u)The Image File Custodian is authorized, in its sole discretion, to disregard any and all notices or instructions given by any other party hereto or by any other Person, except only such notices or instructions as are herein provided for and orders or process of any court entered or issued with or without jurisdiction.  If any property subject hereto is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part hereof, then and in any of such events the Image File Custodian is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree with which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, and if it complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree it shall not be liable to any other party hereto or to any other Person by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.
(v)The Image File Custodian may at any time resign and terminate its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that except as provided below, no such resignation or termination shall be effective until a successor Image File Custodian is appointed (and accepts such appointment) pursuant to the terms of this Section.  Promptly after receipt of notice of the Image File Custodian’s intended resignation, the Borrower shall appoint, by written instrument, a successor Image File Custodian who shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders).  If the Borrower fails to appoint a successor Image File Custodian pursuant to the terms hereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Image File Custodian’s notice of resignation, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall have the exclusive right to appoint by written instrument, a successor Image File Custodian.  If neither the Borrower nor the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) has appointed a successor Image File Custodian within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Image File Custodian’s notice of resignation, the Image File Custodian may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Image File Custodian, with the cost of such petition (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) to be borne by the Borrower.
(w)Any corporation, banking association or trust company into which the Image File Custodian may be merged or converted or consolidated with, or any corporation, banking association or trust company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Image File Custodian shall be a party, or any corporation, banking association or trust company succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Image File Custodian, shall be the successor of the Image File Custodian hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.
Section 1.010.Custody of Imaged Files. 
(x)The Servicer and each Subservicer shall be authorized to transmit, and the Image File Custodian shall be authorized to accept, standalone .PDF files or other similar electronic mediums of the Imaged Files.  The Image File Custodian shall retain such Imaged Files on its computer systems in accordance with Section 9.09.  Prior to or contemporaneously with the delivery of any Imaged Files to the Image File Custodian, the Servicer or the Subservicer, as applicable, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Image File Custodian an Excel spreadsheet (or other similar electronic document reasonably acceptable to the Image File 
129

Custodian) (each, an “Imaged File Loan Schedule”) identifying the Receivables to which such Imaged Files relate.  In connection with each Funding Date, the Servicer and each Subservicer, as applicable, shall deliver the Imaged Files and the Imaged File Loan Schedule at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Funding Date  (the “Imaged File Delivery Date”); provided, that, in connection with the initial Funding Date, the Servicer and each Subservicer, as applicable, shall deliver the Imaged Files and the Imaged File Loan Schedule no later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date (the “Initial Imaged File Delivery Date”).  If such Imaged Files and Imaged File Loan Schedule are received by the Image File Custodian prior to 12:00 p.m. New York City time, the Image File Custodian shall provide to the Administrative Agent, the Servicer and each Lender, on or before five (5) Business Days following such receipt, a certification (each, a “Certificate of Receipt”) confirming that the relevant account numbers for the Imaged Files received matches the relevant Obligor’s account numbers provided on the Imaged File Loan Schedule (and if such information is delivered to the Image File Custodian after 12:00 p.m. New York City time, on any Business Day, such information shall be deemed, for purposes of this sentence, to be received prior to 12:00 p.m. New York City time on the next succeeding Business Day); provided, that, in connection with the initial Funding Date, the Image File Custodian shall deliver the related Certificate of Receipt within five (5) Business Days of the Initial Imaged File Delivery Date. 
(y)The Image File Custodian shall randomly select for review (x) in connection with the initial Funding Date, within three (3) Business Days following the Initial Imaged File Delivery Date, 250 Imaged Files delivered in connection with such Funding Date relating to Receivables originated by the Originators and (y) in connection with any Funding Date that occurs more than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, 200 Imaged Files delivered in connection with such Funding Date, with such selection of 200 Imaged Files to be split pro rata, based on the number of related Receivables added to the Collateral in connection with such Funding Date originated by the Originators.  In receiving and reviewing any such randomly selected Imaged File, the Image File Custodian shall be required only to review each document within any such Imaged File received to determine whether (1) each document in the Imaged File appears fully executed and (2) each Imaged File contains each of the following with respect to the applicable Receivable specified by the Servicer or the Subservicer, as applicable, in the applicable Imaged File Loan Schedule: (a) last name of Obligor, (b) Obligor’s account number, (c) the State in which the related Obligor has a mailing address, (d) the branch State, (e) whether such Receivable is a Hard Secured Receivable (with a certificate of title or not), (f) loan amount, (g) APR, (h) contract term (i.e., the number of payments) and (i) Originator.  In receiving and reviewing any Imaged File in connection with the Image File Custodian’s delivery of a Certificate of Receipt, the Image File Custodian shall be required only to conduct the review necessary to make the certifications contained in the Certificate of Receipt.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Image File Custodian shall not have any duty or obligation to review any Imaged File with respect to which the related Contract is an Electronic Contract (other than a Specified Electronic Contract).  For the avoidance of doubt, if a Contract contained within an Imaged File is not fully executed, the Image File Custodian will specify that such Contract is not fully executed in the exception report attached to the related Custodian Certification.
(z)In connection with the Image File Custodian’s review of the Imaged Files relating to Receivables delivered to the Image File Custodian hereunder, the Image File Custodian shall execute and deliver to the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and each Lender a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Custodian Certification”) no later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the Initial Imaged File Delivery Date or the Imaged File Delivery Date, as applicable.  For the avoidance of doubt, any single Custodian Certification may relate to one or more Imaged Files.
130

(aa)In the event that an Authorized Officer of the Servicer (on its own behalf or on behalf of a Subservicer) requests that any Imaged File relating to a Receivable be removed from the Image File Custodian’s custody (x) as a result of a repurchase pursuant to Section 5.06 hereof, (y) for the purpose of correcting errors therein or (z) in order to comply with, or give effect to, any other provisions of the Basic Documents, the Servicer shall send a written request to the Image File Custodian, substantially in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto (each, a “Removal Request”).  Within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such written request, the Image File Custodian shall delete the applicable Imaged File from the Image File Custodian’s system as directed by the Servicer in such Removal Request.
(ab)In the event that the Backup Servicer is removed or resigns as Backup Servicer hereunder, the successor Backup Servicer shall automatically (and without further action) become the successor Image File Custodian.  Any predecessor Image File Custodian shall take any actions reasonably requested by the Servicer in order to allow for a successor Image File Custodian to assume its duties and obligations hereunder.  Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that any Image File Custodian ceases to act in such capacity hereunder, (i) it shall promptly as practicable transfer any Imaged Files in its custody (or on its systems) to the successor Image File Custodian and (ii) upon completing such transfer, promptly (except as required by its internal document retention policies) delete any Imaged Files in its custody (or on its systems) unless otherwise directed by the Servicer.  The predecessor Image File Custodian shall be entitled to receive from the Servicer reimbursement of such predecessor Image File Custodian’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the performance of its duties under this Section 9.07(e).
(ac)The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the review contemplated by this Section 9.07 (the “Review”) is a review to be performed by the Image File Custodian solely for the purpose of acknowledging receipt of Imaged Files by the Image File Custodian.  Any Custodian Certification related to such Review prepared by the Image File Custodian and furnished to the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and each Lender is produced solely in connection with this purpose.  The Image File Custodian was not engaged to perform the Review, produce any Custodian Certification or perform any of the services in this Agreement for the purpose of making findings with respect to the accuracy of the information or data regarding the Receivables provided to the Image File Custodian hereunder for the Review as contemplated by Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act.  Given the purpose and scope of the Image File Custodian’s services (including the Review and any Custodian Certification) under this Agreement and given the treatment and use of the Review and Custodian Certification, the parties hereto agree that the Image File Custodian’s Review is not commonly understood in the market to be “due diligence services” for purposes of Rule 17g-10.  The parties hereto do not consider the Review and the delivery of any Custodian Certification to be “due diligence services” for purposes of Rule 17g-10, and shall not treat any Custodian Certification as a “third party due diligence report” for purposes of Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act.  The other parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the Image File Custodian is relying on this certification for purposes of determining that its Review does not constitute “due diligence services” under Rule 17g-10. The Image File Custodian shall have no liability for or obligation with respect to, and shall not be construed or obliged to make any representation or warranty as to: (i) the validity, sufficiency, marketability, genuineness, value, contents or enforceability of any Imaged File or any agreement, instrument or other document contained therein; (ii) the validity, adequacy or perfection of any lien upon or security interest purported to be evidenced or created thereby or by any agreement, instrument or other document; or (iii) a determination that the contents of any Imaged Files are appropriate for the represented purpose or that any agreement, instrument or other document contained in any Imaged File has actually been recorded or filed, as maybe applicable, or that any agreement, instrument or other document in any Imaged File is other than what it purports on its face to be. The Image File Custodian shall 
131

not be obligated to make any independent examination of any Imaged File or its contents beyond the review specifically required by this Agreement.
Section 1.04.Further Agreements.  The parties hereto further agree that:
(ad)The Image File Custodian may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, approval, bond or any other paper or document (including any of the foregoing delivered in electronic format) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person or Persons.  Nothing herein shall be construed to impose an obligation on the part of the Image File Custodian to investigate, evaluate, verify, independently determine or re-calculate any information, statement, representation or warranty or any fact or matter stated in, or the accuracy of, any such document and may conclusively rely as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing herein shall be construed so as to relieve the Image File Custodian of its express obligations hereunder.
(ae)Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, the Image File Custodian shall have no duty to conduct any investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable by any Person pursuant to this Agreement, or the eligibility of any Receivable for purposes of this Agreement.
(af)Before the Image File Custodian acts or refrains from taking any action under this Agreement, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and/or Opinion of Counsel from the party requesting that the Image File Custodian act or refrain from acting in form and substance acceptable to the Image File Custodian, the costs of which (including the Image File Custodian’s reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) shall be paid by the party requesting that the Image File Custodian act or refrain from acting.  The Image File Custodian shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on any such Officer’s Certificate and/or Opinion of Counsel.
(ag)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Image File Custodian shall not be liable for any loss or damage, or any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder if it is prevented from so performing its obligations by any reason which is beyond the control of the Image File Custodian, including by any existing or future law or regulation, any existing or future act of governmental authority, act of God, flood, war whether declared or undeclared, terrorism, riot, rebellion, civil commotion, other industrial action, general failure of electricity or other supply, technical failure, accidental or mechanical or electrical breakdown, computer failure or any event where, in the reasonable opinion of the Image File Custodian, performance of any duty or obligation under or pursuant to this Agreement would or may be illegal or would result in the Image File Custodian being in breach of any Applicable Law or practice, request, direction, notice, announcement or similar action of any Governmental Authority to which the Image File Custodian is subject.
(ah)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Image File Custodian shall not be required to take any action that is not in accordance with Applicable Law.
(ai)The right of the Image File Custodian to perform any permissive or discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement or any related document shall not be construed as a duty.

(c)Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Revolving Period shall terminate and no further Loans will be made.
Section 1.012.Actions Upon Declaration or the Automatic Occurrence of the Maturity Date.  Upon the declaration or the automatic occurrence of the Maturity Date, the Collateral Agent shall, at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies otherwise available to it, including rights available hereunder and the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (such rights and remedies to be cumulative and nonexclusive), and, in addition, 
136

the Collateral Agent may, and at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, shall, take the following remedial actions:
(a)The Collateral Agent may, without notice to the Borrower except as required by Applicable Law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Loans Outstanding, any Interest accrued thereon and or any other amount due and owing to any Secured Party against amounts payable to the Borrower from the Accounts or any part of such Accounts in accordance with and subject to the priorities required by Section 2.08.
(b)The Collateral Agent may take any action permitted under the Basic Documents and may exercise at the Borrower’s sole expense any and all rights and remedies of the Borrower or the Borrower Loan Trustee under or in connection with the Collateral, including directing that Collections be deposited into an account specified by the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) (rather than to the Collection Account). 
(c)Consistent with the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (and except as otherwise required by the UCC), the Collateral Agent may, without notice except as specified below, foreclose on the Collateral or any part of the Collateral, solicit and accept bids for and sell the Collateral or any part of the Collateral in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable and the Collateral Agent shall, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, deposit the proceeds from the sale of the Collateral into the Collection Account for application by the Administrative Agent or pursuant to such direction from the Administrative Agent to any amounts payable by the Borrower with respect to the Obligations in accordance with the priorities required by Section 2.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Collateral or any part of the Collateral, at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders following an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default described in Section 10.01(a)(i) or (a)(ii), unless the Administrative Agent confirms in writing that: (A) 100% of the Lenders consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation will be sufficient to pay in full the Loans Outstanding and all accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans Outstanding or (C) the Administrative Agent determines that the Collateral will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal and interest on the Loans as they would have become due if the Loans had not been declared immediately due and payable, and the Administrative Agent obtains the consent of the Required Lenders.  In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C) above, the Administrative Agent may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as of the sufficiency of the Collateral for such purpose (which opinion shall also be addressed to the Collateral Agent).  The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by Applicable Law, at least seven (7) Business Days’ notice to the Borrower (with a copy to each Secured Party) 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 Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Every such sale shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever of the Borrower and the Borrower Loan Trustee in and to the Collateral so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against the Borrower, the Borrower Loan Trustee or any Person claiming the Collateral sold through the Borrower, the Borrower Loan Trustee and their successors or assigns.
(d)Upon the completion of any sale under Section 10.02(c), the Borrower shall, and shall cause the Borrower Loan Trustee at the Borrower’s direction for the benefit of the Borrower, to 
137

deliver or cause to be delivered all of the Collateral sold to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale on the date of sale, or within a reasonable time thereafter if it shall be impractical to make immediate delivery, but in any event full title and right of possession to such property shall pass to such purchaser or purchasers forthwith upon the completion of such sale.  Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or by any purchaser, the Borrower shall, and shall cause the Borrower Loan Trustee at the Borrower’s direction for the benefit of the Borrower, to confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to such purchaser all proper instruments of conveyance and transfer and release as may be designated in any such request.
(e)At any sale under Section 10.02(c), the Servicer, the Originators or any Secured Party may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor.  Any Secured Party purchasing property at a sale under Section 10.02(c) may set off the purchase price of such property against amounts owing to such Secured Party in full payment of such purchase price up to the full amount owing to such Secured Party.
(f)The Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) may direct the Servicer to direct Collections to an account other than the Collection Account; provided, that such redirection of funds may not be undertaken unless the payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids owed and payable to the Paying Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Agent and the Image File Custodian has been addressed to the satisfaction of such parties. The Collateral Agent and the Servicer agree to cooperate in good faith to provide the Servicer access to the information relating to the Collections deposited into such account in order for the Servicer to perform its related duties hereunder.
Section 1.05.Exercise of Remedies.  No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between the Borrower, the Borrower Loan Trustee or the Servicer, on the one hand, and the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Agent or Secured Party, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies expressly provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Secured Parties would otherwise have pursuant to Applicable Law or equity.  No notice to or demand on any party in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or constitute a waiver of the right of the other party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.  It is understood and agreed that Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties will have recourse against the Borrower Loan Trustee solely to the extent of the Borrower Loan Trustee’s interests in the Receivables.
Section 1.06.Waiver of Certain Laws.  Each of the Borrower and the Borrower Loan Trustee 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 appraisal, 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 Borrower and the Borrower Loan Trustee, 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 Applicable 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 Collateral Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the 
138

Collateral as an entirety or such parcels as the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) or such court may determine.
Section 1.07.Power of Attorney.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and deemed occurrence or declaration of the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 10.01(b), in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Article, including (i) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (ii) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (iii) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Borrower thereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto and (iv) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Basic Document.  Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Agent, directly or through a purchaser of any of the Collateral, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent or such purchaser all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request. On the Closing Date, the Borrower, First Heritage and the Borrower Loan Trustee shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a power of attorney to be used solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event, in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, Exhibit F-2 and Exhibit F-3, respectively.
Section 1.08.Class B Lender Purchase Option
(d)Upon (i) the declaration or automatic occurrence of the Maturity Date, (ii) the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent commencing enforcement proceedings against the Borrower or any portion of the Collateral or (iii) an event described in clauses (i) through (iv), (viii), (ix), (xi) through (xiv), (xv), (xviii), (xix) (solely with respect to a Servicer Termination Event arising under clauses (1), (2), (4) or (7) of Section 7.11), or (xx) through (xxii) of Section 10.01(a) shall be continuing for forty-five (45) days and the Administrative Agent shall not have declared such event to be an Event of Default (each such event, a “Triggering Event”), the Class B Lenders shall have the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Class A Obligations from the Class A Lenders (the “Class B Purchase Right”).  Within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Administrative Agent shall deliver written notice to the Agents for the Class B Lenders of (i) the Class A Obligations, (ii) the Class A Obligations expected to accrue through the Class B Purchase Option Exercise Date and (iii) the amount of all liabilities (without duplication) that it has incurred in the nature of indemnification obligations of the Borrower hereunder which have resulted in any loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) to the Class A Lenders (collectively, “Class A Indemnification Liabilities”). The Class B Purchase Right shall be exercisable by all or any of the Class B Lenders for a period of twenty (20) days, commencing on the date on which the Administrative Agent provides the notice described in the preceding sentence to the Agents for the Class B Lenders (the “Class B Purchase Right Termination Date”).  Prior to the Class B Purchase Right Termination Date, the Class B Lenders may exercise the Class B Purchase Right upon written notice to the Administrative Agent (the “Class B Purchase Option Notice”), which notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date on which such right is to be exercised by the Class B Lenders (such date, the “Class B Purchase Option Exercise Date”), which shall be a Business Day not more than twenty (20) days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice.  On the Business Day prior to the Class B Purchase Option Exercise Date, the Administrative Agent shall deliver written notice to the Agents for the Class B Lenders specifying the Class A Obligations and the Class A Indemnification Liabilities of which it is then aware (collectively, the “Class B Purchase Option Amount”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
139

following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, but prior to the Agents’ and the Class B Lenders’ receipt of the notice required to be delivered by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.06(a), the Collateral Agent may not sell or liquidate any of the Collateral. 
(e)On the Class B Purchase Option Exercise Date, the Class A Lenders shall sell to the Class B Lenders, and the Class B Lenders shall purchase from the Class A Lenders, the Class A Obligations and the Class B Lenders shall (a) pay to the Class A Lenders as the purchase price therefor the Class B Purchase Option Amount and (b) agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Class A Lenders from and against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) arising out of any claim asserted by a third party against any Class A Lender or its related Agent as a direct result of any acts by the Class B Lenders occurring after the date of such purchase (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of a Class A Lender or its related Funding Agent).  Such purchase price and other sums shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of the Class A Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall have designated in writing to the Class B Lenders and their Agents for such purpose.  In connection with the foregoing purchase, accrued and unpaid Interest shall be calculated through the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the Class B Lenders to the bank account designated by the Class A Lenders are received in such bank account prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time and accrued and unpaid Interest shall be calculated to and include the next Business Day if the amounts so paid by the Class B Lenders to the bank account designated by the Class A Lenders are received in such bank account later than 1:00 p.m., New York time.
(f)Any purchase pursuant to this Section 10.06 shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the Class A Lenders as to the Class A Obligations or otherwise and without recourse to the Class A Lenders, except that the Class A Lenders shall represent and warrant: (i) the amount of the Class A Obligations being purchased and that the purchase price and other sums payable by the Class B Lenders are true, correct and accurate amounts, (ii) that the Class A Lenders shall convey the Class A Obligations free and clear of any Liens or encumbrances of the Class A Lenders or created or suffered by the Class A Lenders, including any participation interest in any of the Class A Obligations, (iii) as to the absence of all claims made or threatened in writing against the Class A Lenders related to the Class A Obligations, and (iv) that the Class A Lenders are duly authorized to assign the Class A Obligations. In addition, upon completion of the sale of the Class A Obligations and receipt by the Class A Lenders of the amounts specified in Section 10.06(b), Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch may resign as Administrative Agent and the Class B Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent to succeed Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch who shall accept such appointment, in each case, effective on the Class B Purchase Option Exercise Date.

Section 1.09.Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no 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 any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Borrower Loan Trustee, First Heritage, the Originators, the Servicer, the Subservicers, the Guarantor, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Agent or the Image File Custodian shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender.

Except for notices, reports and other documents received by an Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Borrower Loan Trustee, the Servicer, the Subservicers, First Heritage, the Originators, the Guarantor, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Agent or the Image File Custodian or the Receivables which may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
Section 1.010.Indemnification.  The Committed Lenders (i) agree to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent, in each case, in its capacity as such (without limiting the obligation (if any) of the Borrower or the Servicer to reimburse the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent for any such amounts), ratably according to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have terminated, Invested Percentages of the Loans Outstanding that are Class A Loans or Class B Loans, as applicable) and (ii) in each Lender Group agree to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the Agent for such Lender Group, in each case, in its capacity as such (without limiting the obligation (if any) of the Borrower and the Servicer to reimburse such Collateral Agent or Agent for any such amounts), ratably according to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have terminated, Invested Percentages of the Loans Outstanding that are Class A Loans or Class B Loans, as applicable), in each case from and

The provisions of this Section shall survive the payment of the Obligations under this Agreement, including the Loans Outstanding, the termination of this Agreement, and any resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent or the applicable Agent, as the case may be.
Section 1.011.Each Agent in its Individual Capacity.  Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and any other party to a Basic Document as though it were not an Agent hereunder.  In addition, the Lenders acknowledge that one or more Persons which are Agents may act (i) as administrator, sponsor or agent for one or more Conduit Lenders and in such capacity act and may continue to act on behalf of each such Conduit Lender in connection with its business, and (ii) as the agent for certain financial institutions under the liquidity and credit enhancement agreements relating to this Agreement to which any one or more Conduit Lenders is party and in various other capacities relating to the business of any such Conduit Lender under various agreements.  Any such Person, in its capacity as Agent, shall not, by virtue of its acting in any such other capacities, be deemed to have duties or responsibilities hereunder or be held to a standard of care in connection with the performance of its duties as an Agent other than as expressly provided in this Agreement.  Any Person which is an Agent may act as an Agent without regard to and without additional duties or liabilities arising from its role as such administrator or agent or arising from its acting in any such other capacity.  None of the provisions to this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.
Section 1.012.Successor Agents.  The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon ten (10) days’ written notice to the Lenders, each Agent, the Borrower Loan Trustee and the Borrower with such resignation becoming effective upon a successor agent succeeding to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent pursuant to this Section.  If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor administrative agent, which may be a lender.  Any Agent may resign as Agent upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lenders in its Lender Group, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each other Agent, the Borrower Loan Trustee and the Borrower with such resignation becoming effective upon a successor agent succeeding to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent pursuant to this Section.  If an Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement, then (i) Lenders in its Lender Group having Invested Percentages aggregating greater than 50% of the aggregate Invested Percentages of all Lenders in such Lender Group, and (ii) Committed Lenders in its Lender Group having Commitments aggregating greater than 50% of the aggregate Commitments of all Committed Lenders in such Lender Group shall appoint from among the Committed Lenders (other than the Conduit Lenders) in such Lender Group a successor agent for such Lender Group.  Any successor administrative agent or agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of resigning Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Agent,” as 
147

applicable, shall mean such successor administrative agent or agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement.  After the retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.
Section 1.013.Borrower, Borrower Loan Trustee, Servicer Reliance.  For all purposes under this Agreement, the Borrower, the Borrower Loan Trustee and the Servicer may conclusively rely on written consent, approval or waiver from the Administrative Agent as consent, approval or waiver, respectively, of the Required Lenders.

It is understood and agreed that any and all actions performed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 13.01(a) shall be at the written direction of the Administrative Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility or liability in connection with the validity, perfection or enforceability of such financing and continuation statements or with determining any actions necessary or desirable to perfect, protect or more fully secure the security interest granted by the Borrower and the Borrower Loan Trustee hereunder or to enable any Person to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder.

Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of the Collateral Agent shall be subject to the provisions of this Article Thirteen.  
(c)In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall act solely as agent for the Secured Parties and does not assume nor shall it be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Borrower, the Servicer or the Administrative Agent or any of their respective successors or assigns.  
(d)The Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action if it shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by its counsel, that such action is likely to expose the Collateral Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or any other Basic Document or Requirements of Law.
(e)The appointment and authority of the Collateral Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations.
Section 1.015.[Reserved].

(f)Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any error in judgment, or action taken or omitted to be taken, by it or them in good faith under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Basic Document (except for its, their or such Person’s own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any other Person contained in this Agreement or any other Basic Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Basic Document, for the due execution, legality, value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Basic Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith, or for any failure of any transaction party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder or for the perfection, priority, condition, value or sufficiency of any collateral pledged in connection herewith, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article Four.  The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Collateral Agent, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, Computershare in each of its capacities hereunder and under the other Basic Documents to which it is a party, and each agent, custodian, and any other Person employed to act hereunder and under the other Basic Documents to which it is a party; and in actions under any other Basic Document, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits afforded it hereunder; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to Computershare in its capacity as Backup Servicer. 
(g)The Collateral Agent shall have no enforcement or notification obligations relating to breaches of representations or warranties of any other Person.
(h)The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for, or have any duty to supervise or monitor, the default, misconduct or any other action or omission of the Borrower, the Servicer or any other party to the Basic Documents (other than Computershare in any of its capacities under the Basic Documents).

(j)The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of, or be required to act, based on any event unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent receives written notice or has actual knowledge of such event.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default, Facility Amortization Event or Servicer Termination Event, or of any default that, with the giving of notice or passage of time, would become an Event of Default, a Facility Amortization Event or a Servicer Termination Event, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has received notice from the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Agent.  The delivery or availability of reports or other documents (including, without limitation, news or other publicly available reports or documents, or any reports or documents delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or related agreements or documents) to the Collateral Agent shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of information contained in or determinable from those reports or documents, except for such information that this Agreement specifically requires the Collateral Agent to examine in such report or document and to take an action with respect thereto.  Knowledge or information acquired by (i) Computershare in any of its respective capacities hereunder or under any other Basic Document or other document related to this transaction shall not be imputed to Computershare in any of its 
150

other capacities hereunder or under such other documents except to the extent their respective duties are performed by the same group or division within Computershare or otherwise share the same Responsible Officers of Computershare, and vice versa (it being understood that on the Closing Date, the Corporate Trust Services department of Computershare (including, as applicable, any agents or Affiliates utilized thereby) is performing its obligations under each of its capacities hereunder and under the other Basic Documents), and (ii) any Affiliate of Computershare shall not be imputed to Computershare in any of its respective capacities, provided that the foregoing shall not relieve the Person acting as Backup Servicer, Collateral Agent or Borrower Loan Trustee, as applicable, from its obligations to perform or responsibility for the manner of performance of its duties in a separate capacity under the Basic Documents.
(k)None of the provisions to this Agreement or any other Basic Document or any direction or instruction shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or any other Basic Document, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement or otherwise or in relation to this Agreement or any other Basic Document unless the Collateral Agent has been offered security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by the Collateral Agent therein or thereby.
(l)The right of the Collateral Agent to perform any permissive or discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement or any other Basic Document shall not be construed as a duty, and the Collateral Agent shall not be answerable for other than its gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document implies or requires that action or forbearance from action be taken by a party but is silent as to which party has the duty to act or refrain from acting, the parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall not be the party required to take the action or refrain from acting. It is understood and agreed that any rights and powers granted to the Collateral Agent under any power of attorney shall not impose any duty or obligation on the Collateral Agent.
(m)The Collateral Agent shall not be liable or accountable to any Person with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with any instructions, directions or requests provided to it by any Person in accordance with or as contemplated by this Agreement. 
(n)In no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for punitive, special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
(o)The Collateral Agent may perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through Affiliates, agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees, and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible or liable for, or have any duty to supervise or monitor, the actions, misconduct or negligence on the part of any Affiliates, agent, attorney, custodians or nominees appointed with due care by it hereunder or any other Affiliate, agent, custodian or nominee that the Collateral Agent is obligated to appoint hereunder (including the Electronic Vault Provider); provided, that the Collateral Agent shall remain obligated and liable for the performance of its duties hereunder without diminution of such duties and liability by virtue of the appointment of any such Affiliate, agent, attorney, custodian or nominee, and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Collateral Agent alone were individually executing or 
151

performing such duties; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for the execution or performance of any such duties of the Collateral Agent by any of the parties (including any successors or assigns) to the Basic Documents.
(p)Before the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting, it may require and shall be entitled to receive, at the reasonable expense of the Borrower, payable in accordance with and subject to Section 2.08, an Officer’s Certificate of the Borrower and/or an Opinion of Counsel.  The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 
(q)As a condition to the taking, suffering or omitting of any action by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent may consult with counsel and the written or oral advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from any liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.
(r)Except as expressly required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to make any initial or periodic examination of any documents or records or the purpose of establishing the presence or absence of defects, the compliance by the Borrower or any other Person (other than the Collateral Agent) with its representations and warranties or for any other purpose except as expressly required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(s)Any Person into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Collateral Agent shall be the successor of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto or thereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(t)In the event that (i) the Collateral Agent is unsure as to the application or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document, (ii) this Agreement or any other Basic Document is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Collateral Agent is required or permitted to take with respect to a particular set of facts, or (iii) more than one methodology can be used to make any determination to be performed by the Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder, then the Collateral Agent may give written notice to the Administrative Agent requesting written instruction and, to the extent that the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such written instruction, the Collateral Agent shall not be personally liable to any Person. If the Collateral Agent shall not have received such written instruction within ten (10) calendar days of delivery of notice to the Administrative Agent (or within such shorter period of time as may reasonably be specified in such notice or as may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any action, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.
(u)The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for preparing or filing any reports or returns relating to federal, state or local income taxes with respect to this Agreement or any other Basic Document other than for the Collateral Agent’s compensation.
(v)Computershare (in each of its capacities hereunder or under any other Basic Document) will not have any liability for any determination made by or on behalf of any Person in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event or a Benchmark Replacement. For the avoidance of doubt, Computershare (in each of its capacities hereunder or under any other Basic 
152

Document) shall not be under any obligation to (i) monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of Term SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark), or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of any Benchmark Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, (iii) select, determine or designate any Benchmark Adjustment, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or (iv) determine whether or what Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing. Computershare (in each of its capacities hereunder or under any other Basic Document) shall not be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Agreement or any other Basic Document as a result of the unavailability of Term SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark) and absence of a designated replacement Benchmark, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement and reasonably required for the performance of such duties. Computershare (in each of its capacities hereunder or under any other Basic Document) shall not have any liability for entering into, or the contents of, any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.
(w)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that is not in accordance with Applicable Law.
Section 1.018.Reliance.  The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be entitled to conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, Officer’s Certificate, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order (including any Borrower Order), bond, note, or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Collateral Agent, not only as to due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the content or accuracy of any such documents provided to the Collateral Agent, and shall not be required to recalculate, certify, or verify any information contained therein.  The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other document furnished in connection herewith unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of any Lender or any Agent as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by any Lender or such Agent, provided that unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received such advice or indemnification, the Collateral Agent may take or refrain from taking any action, as the Collateral Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders and the Agents.  The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request, instruction or direction of the Borrower, the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent and such request, instruction or direction and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Agents and each of the other parties hereto.
Section 1.019.Non-Reliance.  Each of the Conduit Lenders, the Committed Lenders and the Agents expressly acknowledges that neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Collateral Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the transaction parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent.  Each of the Conduit Lenders, the Committed Lenders and the Agents represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent that it has made and will make, as applicable, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent and based on such 
153

documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, (x) its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other transaction parties and (y) its own decision to enter into this Agreement.
Section 1.020.Collateral Agent in its Individual Capacity.  The Collateral Agent and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and any other party to a Basic Document as though it were not a party hereto.  
Section 1.021.Resignation or Termination of Collateral Agent; Successor Collateral Agent.  
(a)The Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent upon sixty (60) days’ notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with such resignation becoming effective upon a successor collateral agent succeeding to the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 13.08.  If the Collateral Agent resigns as Collateral Agent, is removed under this Agreement or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Collateral Agent for any reason, then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor collateral agent, which may be a Lender.  Any successor collateral agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the resigning Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Collateral Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Collateral Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of the former Collateral Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article Thirteen shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under this Agreement. If the Collateral Agent consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers or sells all or substantially all or substantially all of its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the successor Collateral Agent.
(b)The Required Lenders may remove the Collateral Agent and any or all of its agents by so notifying the Collateral Agent if:
(i)the Collateral Agent shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Collateral Agent or all or substantially all of its property, or a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Collateral Agent; or the Collateral Agent shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or 
(ii)the Collateral Agent otherwise becomes incapable of acting in such capacity under any of the Basic Documents.  
(x)[Reserved].
(y)Any resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent and appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 13.08 shall not become effective until the successor Collateral Agent has accepted its appointment in accordance with the following:
154

(iii)any successor Collateral Agent appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Borrower, to the Borrower Loan Trustee, to the Servicer and to its predecessor Collateral Agent, as applicable, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Collateral Agent shall become effective and such successor Collateral Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Collateral Agent herein.  The predecessor Collateral Agent shall deliver to the successor Collateral Agent all documents or copies thereof and statements and all money and other property held by it hereunder; and the Borrower and the predecessor Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Collateral Agent all such rights, powers, duties and obligations; 
(iv)upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Collateral Agent as provided in this Section, such successor Collateral Agent shall provide notice of such succession hereunder to all Lenders, and the Servicer shall provide such notice to each Loan Rating Agency; and 
(v)no Collateral Agent shall be liable hereunder for any action or omission of any successor Collateral Agent.
(a)If a successor Collateral Agent does not take office within sixty (60) days after the retiring Collateral Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Collateral Agent, the Borrower or the Required Lenders may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, and all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred in connection with such petition shall be paid by the Borrower in accordance with and subject to Section 2.08 hereof.
Section 1.022.Appointment of Co-Collateral Agent or Separate Collateral Agent.  
(z)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Basic Document, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or other enforcement action or to the extent of any conflict of interest, the Collateral Agent shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-collateral agent or co-collateral agents, or separate collateral agent or separate collateral agents, of all or any part of the Collateral, and to vest in such Person or Persons such title to the Collateral, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Collateral Agent may consider necessary or desirable.  
(aa)Every separate collateral agent and co-collateral agent shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i)all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Collateral Agent shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Collateral Agent and such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent jointly (it being understood that such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent is not authorized to act separately without the Collateral Agent joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Collateral Agent shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed singly by such 
155

separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, but solely at the written direction of the Collateral Agent; 
(ii)no separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent hereunder; and  
(iii)the Collateral Agent may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent.
(c)Any notice, request or other writing given to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate collateral agents and co-collateral agents, as effectively as if given to each of them.  Every instrument appointing any separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall refer to this Agreement.  Each separate collateral agent and co-collateral agent shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Collateral Agent or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Collateral Agent.  Every such instrument shall be filed with the Collateral Agent.
(d)If necessary, any separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent may at any time constitute the Collateral Agent its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name.  If any separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor collateral agent. 
Section 1.10.Eligibility; Disqualification.  The Collateral Agent shall at all times have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition and either (i) its long-term unsecured debt shall be rated at least “BBB-” (or the equivalent rating) by Fitch or DBRS, or (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders approve the Collateral Agent’s eligibility in writing.  The Collateral Agent (a) shall meet the requirements of Section 26(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act, (b) shall not be an Affiliate of the Borrower or the initial Servicer and (c) shall not offer or provide credit or credit enhancement to the Borrower.  In case at any time the Collateral Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Collateral Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 11.08.
Section 1.11.Representations and Warranties of the Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent represents and warrants that:
(a)the Collateral Agent is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization;
(b)the Collateral Agent has full power and authority to deliver and perform this Agreement and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement and each other Basic Document to which it is a party; 
(c)each of this Agreement and each other Basic Document to which it is a party has been duly executed and delivered by the Collateral Agent and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Insolvency Laws and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity); and 
156

(d)the Collateral Agent meets the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 13.10. 
Section 1.3.Force Majeure.  In no event shall Computershare (in any capacity) be personally liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services, any provision of any present or future law or regulation or act of any governmental authority, disease, epidemic or pandemic, quarantine, national emergency, utility failure, malware or ransomware attack, communications system failure, unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex system or other applicable wire or funds transfer system, or unavailability of any securities clearing system, it being understood that Computershare, in any such capacity, shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.
Section 1.4.Intercreditor Actions.  The Collateral Agent shall promptly notify all Lenders (as identified in writing to the Collateral Agent by the Administrative Agent) in writing of any proposed consent, waiver, approval, vote or other action taken or to be taken by the Collateral Agent in such capacity under the Intercreditor Agreement (an “Intercreditor Action”) promptly after a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent actually receives written notice thereof, which notice shall identify the proposed Intercreditor Action delivered to the Collateral Agent in such capacity under the Intercreditor Agreement and any other information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to the extent such information was delivered to the Collateral Agent with respect to such proposed Intercreditor Action. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Basic Document, all Intercreditor Actions shall be exercised by the Collateral Agent in such capacity solely at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms set forth in this Section 13.13 shall not be applicable to any other capacity in which Computershare may serve under the Intercreditor Agreement (other than as Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties hereunder), including any action to be taken by Computershare in such other capacity under the Intercreditor Agreement. Any expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the Intercreditor Agreement (including any amounts payable thereby to reimburse or advance expenses) shall be payable to the Collateral Agent in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.08(a), provided that any such expenses shall be limited to any expenses relating to and allocable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 1.01.Assignments and Participations.
(a)[Reserved].
(b)Each Lender may upon at least ten (10) days’ notice (or in the case of an assignment to an Eligible Assignee satisfying clause (a)(i) of the definition of the term “Eligible Assignee”, prompt notice following such assignment) to the Administrative Agent and the Agents, assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying percentage of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than the lesser of (A) $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of

$1,000,000 in excess of that amount (except in the case of an assignment to an Eligible Assignee satisfying clause (a)(i) of the definition of the term “Eligible Assignee”) and (B) the full amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and in the case of an assignment by a Committed Lender at any time its Commitments remain outstanding, such Eligible Assignee shall agree to the Commitment of such Committed Lender hereunder, (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Agent for the related Lender Group an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 or such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent (provided that in the case of an assignment to an Eligible Assignee satisfying clause (a)(i) of the definition of the term “Eligible Assignee”, such recordation fee shall not apply), (v) the parties to each such assignment shall have agreed to reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with such assignment, provided that any such fees, costs and expenses of a Conduit Lender shall be borne by its Committed Lender, (vi) each Person that becomes a Lender under an Assignment and Acceptance shall agree to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of Article Fourteen and (vii) there shall be no increased costs, expenses or Taxes incurred by the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders upon assignment or participation. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance and the recording by the Administrative Agent, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be the date of acceptance thereof by the Administrative Agent, unless a later date is specified therein, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
(c)By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of such financial statements and other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iii) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (iv) such assigning Lender and such assignee confirm that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to such agents by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(d)The Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Borrower, shall maintain at its United States address referred to herein a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it pursuant to Section 14.01(b) and a register for the recordation of the names and 
158

addresses of each Lender, the Commitment of each Lender Group and the Principal Amount (and stated interest thereon) of each Loan made by each Lender Group from time to time (the “Lender Register”). The entries in the Lender Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Lenders and the Collateral Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Lender Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Lender Register shall be promptly available for inspection by any Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Image File Custodian, the Paying Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  None of the Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Image File Custodian or the Paying Agent shall be responsible for independently determining whether any Person is a Lender or if the required percentage of Lenders constituting the Required Lenders has been met in connection with any action or omission by any of such Persons hereunder. For all purposes hereunder or under any other Basic Document, the Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Image File Custodian and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively, without investigation, on the Lender Register, or other written statements of the Administrative Agent, to determine whether (i) any Person is a Lender or (ii) the required percentage of Lenders constituting the Required Lenders has been met in connection with any such action or omission.
(e)Subject to the provisions of Section 14.01(a), upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, accept such Assignment and Acceptance, and the Administrative Agent shall then record the information contained therein in the Lender Register.
(f)Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and each Loan owned by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Administrative Agent, each Agent, the other Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the other parties hereto shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each participant shall have the rights of a Lender (including any right to receive payment) under Sections 2.13 and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections 2.14(d) through 2.14(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 2.14(d) through 2.14(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)); provided, however, that no participant shall be entitled to receive payment under either such Section in excess of the amount that would have been payable under such Section by the Borrower to the Lender granting its participation had such participation not been granted, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the participant acquires the applicable participation.
(g)Each Lender that sells a participation shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitment or Loan, letter of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this 
159

Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent), any Agent (in its capacity as Agent) or the Collateral Agent shall have any responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(h)Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning as collateral any of its rights under this Agreement to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank or any other Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, (ii) any Lender, any Agent or the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof in connection with any financing or repurchase agreement entered into by such Lender or (iii) a collateral trustee or security agent for holders of commercial paper and, in each case, any such pledge or Collateral assignment may be made without compliance with Section 14.01(a) or 14.01(b).  Furthermore, nothing herein shall prohibit or require consent or limit the ability of any Conduit Lender to sell or assign all or any portion of its Loans (or interests therein) to its Credit Providers (or to an agent on its or their behalf) pursuant to Liquidity Facilities with respect to such Conduit Lender.
(i)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conduit Lenders in any Lender Group may assign their rights, obligations and interests related to any Loan to any other Conduit Lender in such Conduit Lender’s Lender Group without providing any notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and without providing any Assignment and Acceptance to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.  Each Agent shall maintain a register for the recordation of the Commitment of each Lender in its Lender Group and the Principal Amount (and stated interest thereon) of each Loan made by each Lender in its Lender Group from time to time (the “Group Register”) and shall update its Group Register to reflect any assignments described in the immediately preceding sentence.  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Conduit Lender and an assignee Conduit Lender pursuant to Section 14.01(b), the Agent for such Conduit Lenders’ Lender Group shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and such Agent shall then record the information contained therein in the Group Register.  The Agent of each Lender Group shall keep records of the Loans held by each member of its Lender Group and shall provide notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Borrower upon request.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  This Agreement contains the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings other than any fee letter contemplated hereby.

Section 1.13.Additional Subservicers.   Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, any Affiliate of First Heritage may be added as a party to this Agreement (an “Accession”) as a “Subservicer,” upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a written notice from First Heritage that such Affiliate be added to this Agreement as a Subservicer at least five (5) days prior to the first acquisition of Receivables to be serviced by such Affiliate and:

(j)as of the effective date of such Accession, the conditions precedent applicable to such additional Subservicer as set forth in Exhibit E shall have been fulfilled.
Upon the effectiveness of any Accession, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to include the proposed additional Subservicer as a “Subservicer” hereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Person to which the Servicer (including any Successor Servicer) has delegated its duties hereunder shall not be subject to an Accession or be required to become a party to this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower Loan Trustee shall exercise all rights and remedies hereunder and provide any consents, directions, approvals, acceptances, determinations, rejections or other actions pursuant to this Agreement solely in accordance with directions received from the Borrower (or the Borrower shall so exercise, provide or act on behalf of the Borrower Loan Trustee in accordance with the Borrower Loan Trust Agreement), and the Borrower Loan Trustee shall have no liability for taking any such actions in accordance with such directions and shall not be liable for any failure or delay in taking such actions resulting from any failure or delay by the Borrower (or other applicable Person as may be expressly provided) in providing such direction.
