ARTICLE II

PURCHASE OF THE VARIABLE FUNDING NOTES

     Section 2.1 The Variable Funding Notes.

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

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

-49-

 

     (c) The Sellers may, within sixty (60) days but not less than forty-five (45) days prior to
the Termination Date, by written notice to each Purchaser Agent, make a request for each Purchaser
to extend the Termination Date for up to two additional periods, in each case up to 364 days. Each
Purchaser Agent will give prompt notice to the applicable Purchaser of its receipt of such request,
and each Purchaser shall make a determination, in their sole discretion, not less than fifteen (15)
days prior to the Termination Date as to whether or not it will agree to the extension requested.
If each Purchaser so accepts the extension requested or if each Purchaser and the Sellers agree to
an extension of some other length (not to exceed 363 days in any event) then the Termination Date
shall be so extended. The failure of a Purchaser Agent to provide timely notice of its decision to
the Sellers shall be deemed to constitute a refusal by such Purchaser to extend the Termination
Date. The Sellers confirm that each Purchaser, in their sole and absolute discretion, without
regard to the value or performance of the Collateral or any other factor, may elect not to extend
the Termination Date (as applicable).

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

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

     Section 2.3 [Reserved].

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

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

-50-

 

     (b) If on any day the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, does not own or
have a valid and perfected first priority security interest in any of the Collateral, upon the
earlier of such Seller’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent or such Seller becoming
aware thereof and such Seller’s failure to cure such breach within thirty (30) days, such Seller
shall be deemed to have received on such day a collection (a “Deemed Collection”) of such
Loan in full and shall on such day pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers, an
amount equal to (x) the Outstanding Loan Balance of the Loan to be applied to the pro rata
reduction of the principal of each VFN plus (y) any Breakage Costs required as a result of the
Deemed Collection and release of the related Loan contemplated by this Section 2.4(b). In
connection with any such Deemed Collection, the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured
Parties, shall automatically and without further action be deemed to release to the applicable
Seller, free and clear of any Lien created by the Administrative Agent, all of the right, title and
interest of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in, to, and under the Loan
with respect to which the Administrative Agent has received such Deemed Collection, but without any
other representation and warranty of any kind, express or implied.

     Section 2.5 Determination of Interest.

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

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

     Section 2.6 [Reserved].

     Section 2.7 [Reserved].

     Section 2.8 Notations on Variable Funding Notes.

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

-51-

 

     Section 2.9 [Reserved].

     Section 2.10 Settlement Procedures.

     (a) On each Payment Date, the Servicer shall direct the Collateral Custodian to pay pursuant
to the Monthly Report to the following Persons, from (i) the Collection Account, to the extent of
Available Funds, and (ii) Servicer Advances received with respect to the immediately preceding
Collection Period, the following amounts in the following order of priority:

     (i) FIRST, to the Servicer, in an amount equal to any unreimbursed Servicer
Advances, for the payment thereof;

Servicing Fee, to the end of the preceding Collection Period, for the payment thereof;

     (iii) THIRD, to the extent not paid for by the Originators, pro rata to the
Backup Servicer and the Collateral Custodian, in an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid
Backup Servicing Fee, Collateral Custodian Fee and Transition Expenses, for the payment
thereof;

     (iv) FOURTH, pro rata in accordance with the amounts due under subclauses (a)
and (b) of this clause, to each Purchaser Agent, pro rata in accordance with the amount of
Advances Outstanding hereunder for the account of the applicable Purchaser, (a) an amount
equal to any accrued and unpaid Program Fee and Breakage Costs for the payment thereof and
(b) an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid Interest, for the payment thereof but only to
the extent such accrued and unpaid Interest does not exceed the LIBOR Market Index Rate
applicable for such Accrual Period;

     (v) FIFTH, to each Purchaser Agent, pro rata in accordance with the amount of
Advances Outstanding hereunder for the account of the applicable Purchaser, in an amount
necessary to reduce the Advances Outstanding and Aggregate Unpaids to zero, for the payment
thereof;

     (vi) SIXTH, to each Purchaser Agent, pro rata in accordance with the Pro-Rata
Share for the account of the applicable Purchaser, in an amount equal to any accrued and
unpaid Interest to the extent not paid in accordance with clause FOURTH above;

     (vii) SEVENTH, to the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent, the
applicable Purchaser, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Affected Parties,
the Indemnified Parties or the Secured Parties, pro rata in accordance with the amount owed
to such Person under this SEVENTH clause, all other amounts, including Increased
Costs but other than Advances Outstanding, then due under this Agreement, for the payment
thereof;

     (viii) EIGHTH, to Wachovia Bank, National Association, on account of any due
and payable “Obligations” under and as defined in the CS Europe Financing; and

     (ix) NINTH, any remaining amount shall be distributed to the Sellers.

-52-

 

     (b) Upon payment in full through the SEVENTH clause set forth above, the provisions
set forth in (i) Sections 2.11(b), 2.12(c), 2.15, 2.17,
5.1(k), 5.1(q), 5.4(o), 6.10(a), 6.12, 10.1(f),
10.1(k), 10.1(n) and 10.1(o) and (ii) Articles III, IV and
XIV shall no longer apply to the Sellers or the Servicer, as applicable.

     Section 2.11 Collections and Allocations.

     (a) Collections. The Servicer shall promptly identify any collections received as
being on account of Interest Collections, Principal Collections or other Collections and shall
transfer, or cause to be transferred, all Collections received directly by it or on deposit in the
form of available funds in the Lock-Box Accounts to the Collection Account by the close of business
on the second (2nd) Business Day after such Collections are received. In transferring Collections
to the Collection Account, the Servicer shall segregate Principal Collections and transfer the same
to the corresponding Principal Collections Account. The Servicer shall make such deposits or
payments on the date indicated therein by wire transfer, in immediately available funds. The
Servicer shall further include a statement as to the amount of Principal Collections and Interest
Collections on deposit in the Collection Account on each Reporting Date in the Monthly Report
delivered pursuant to Section 6.10(b).

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

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

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

     Section 2.12 Payments, Computations, Etc.

     (a) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid or deposited by the
Sellers or the Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no
later than 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the day when due in lawful

-53-

 

money of the United States in immediately available funds to the applicable Purchaser Agent’s
Account and if not received before such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.
The Sellers shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all
amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder at 2% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on
demand; provided, however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate
permitted by Applicable Law. Such interest shall be for the account of, and distributed to, each
applicable Purchaser. All computations of interest and all computations of Interest and other fees
hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days (other than calculations with
respect to the Base Rate which shall be based on a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as
applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

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

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

     Section 2.13 [Reserved].

     Section 2.14 Fees.

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

     (b) The Servicer shall be entitled to receive a fee (the “Servicing Fee”), monthly in
arrears in accordance with Section 2.10(a)(ii), as applicable, which fee shall be equal to
the product of (i) the Servicing Fee Rate, (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance as of the
first day of the immediately preceding Collection Period and (iii) the actual number of days in
such Collection Period divided by 360. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the
event that a Successor Servicer is appointed, the Servicing Fee shall equal the market rate for
comparable servicing duties to be fixed upon the date of such appointment of such Successor
Servicer with the consent of the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that in the event that

-54-

 

the Backup Servicer becomes the Successor Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall solicit three
bids, with a copy to the Sellers and the Administrative Agent, from not less than three entities
experienced in the servicing of loans similar to the Loans and that are not Affiliates of the
Backup Servicer, the Servicer or the Sellers, and the Servicing Fee shall be equal to the average
of the fees proposed as determined by the Backup Servicer with the consent of the Administrative
Agent.

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

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

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

     Section 2.15 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.

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

     (b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law,
guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any
law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other governmental
authority or agency (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation,
compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a

-55-

 

consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below
that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or
compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital
adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, within
ten days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement
setting forth the basis for such demand), the Servicer shall pay (and to the extent the Servicer
does not make such payment the Sellers, jointly and severally, shall pay) directly to such Affected
Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the issuance of Interpretation No. 46 by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board or any other change in accounting standards or the issuance of any other
pronouncement, release or interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion
of the assets and liabilities of the Originators or Sellers with the assets and liabilities of the
Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or any Liquidity Bank, such event shall
constitute a circumstance on which such Affected Party may base a claim for reimbursement under
this Section 2.15.

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

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

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

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

     Section 2.16 Taxes.

     (a) All payments made by an Obligor in respect of a Loan and all payments made by the Sellers
or the Servicer under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without

-56-

 

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

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

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

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

     (e) If, in connection with an agreement or other document providing liquidity support, credit
enhancement or other similar support to the Purchasers in connection with this Agreement or the
funding or maintenance of the Advance hereunder, the Purchasers are required to compensate a bank
or other financial institution in respect of Taxes under circumstances similar to those described
in this Section 2.16, then, within ten days after demand by the Purchasers, the Servicer
shall pay (and to the extent the Servicer does not make such payment

-57-

     (a) Initial Servicer. The servicing, administering and collection of the Collateral
shall be conducted by the Person designated as the Servicer hereunder from time to time in
accordance with this Section 6.1. Until the Administrative Agent gives to any of the
Originators a Servicer Termination Notice, such Originator is hereby designated as, and hereby
agrees to perform the duties and responsibilities of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

     (b) Successor Servicer. Upon the Servicer’s receipt of a Servicer Termination Notice
(with a copy to the Backup Servicer) from the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of
Section 6.15, the Servicer agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer
hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent reasonably believes will facilitate the
transition of the performance of such activities to a successor Servicer, and the successor

Collateral, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, and the Servicer shall use
its best reasonable efforts to assist the successor Servicer in assuming such obligations.

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

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

     Section 6.2 Duties of the Servicer.

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

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

     (b) Duties. The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be
necessary or advisable to collect on the Collateral from time to time, all in accordance with

-92-

 

Applicable Laws, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and
Collection Policy. Without limiting the foregoing, the duties of the Servicer shall include the
following:

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

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

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

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

     (v) identifying each Loan clearly and unambiguously in its servicing records to reflect
that such Loan is owned by the applicable Seller and pledged to the Secured Parties pursuant
to this Agreement;

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

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

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

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

-93-

 

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

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the
Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent and the Secured Parties of their rights hereunder shall

duties or responsibilities with respect to the Collateral. The Secured Parties, the Administrative
Agent, each Purchaser Agent and the Collateral Custodian (except in the role of Backup Servicer)
shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Collateral, nor shall any of them be
obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Servicer hereunder.

     (d) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any Indebtedness owed by it to the applicable
Originator or the applicable Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or
otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent,
be applied as a Collection of an item of Collateral of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such
Collateral) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to
any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

     Section 6.3 Authorization of the Servicer.

     (a) Each of the Sellers, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser
hereby authorizes the Servicer (including any successor thereto) to take any and all reasonable
steps in its name (or in the name of a REO Asset Owner with respect to any REO Asset) and on its
behalf necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Servicer, to collect all amounts due
under any and all Collateral, including, without limitation, endorsing any of their names on checks
and other instruments representing Collections, executing and delivering any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to the Collateral and, after the delinquency of any Collateral and to the
extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect
to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as the applicable Originator could have done if it
had continued to own such Collateral. The applicable Originator, the applicable Seller and the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall furnish the Servicer (and any
successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to
enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and shall
cooperate with the Servicer to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectibility of the
Collateral. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make the Secured Parties, the Collateral
Custodian, the Administrative Agent or the Purchaser Agents a party to any litigation without such
party’s express prior written consent, or to make either Seller a party to any litigation (other
than any routine foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent’s
and each Purchaser Agent’s consent.

     (b) After a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, at the direction the
Administrative Agent, the Servicer shall take such action as the Administrative Agent may deem
necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Collateral; provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent may, at any time that a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has
occurred and is continuing, notify any Obligor with respect to any Collateral of the assignment of
such Collateral to the Administrative Agent and direct that payments of all

-94-

 

amounts due or to become due be made directly to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser
Agent or any servicer, collection agent or lock-box or other account designated by the
Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent and, upon such notification and at the joint and
several expense of the Sellers, the Administrative Agent may enforce collection of any such
Collateral, and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.

     Section 6.4 Collection of Payments.

     (a) Collection Efforts, Modification of Collateral. The Servicer will use its
reasonable best efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the
Loans included in the Collateral as and when the same become due in accordance with the Credit and
Collection Policy, and will follow those collection procedures that it follows with respect to all
comparable Collateral that it services for itself or others. The Servicer may not waive, modify or
otherwise vary any provision of an item of Collateral in a manner that, in its reasonable judgment,
would impair the collectibility of the Collateral or in any manner contrary to the Credit and
Collection Policy.

     (b) [Reserved].

     (c) [Reserved].

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

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

     (f) Establishment of the Collection Account. The Servicer shall cause to be
established, on or before the Closing Date, with the Collateral Custodian, and maintained in the
name of the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties, with an office or branch of a
depository institution or trust company a segregated corporate trust account entitled Collection
Account for Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, as Administrative Agent for the Secured Parties (the
“Collection Account”), and the Servicer shall further maintain a subaccount within the
Collection Account for the purpose of segregating, within two Business Days of the receipt of any
Collections, Principal Collections (the “Principal Collections Account”), over which the
Collateral Custodian as agent for the Secured Parties shall have control and from which none of the
Originators, the Servicer or the Sellers shall have any right of withdrawal other than, at any time
upon one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian, prior to
(A) a payment default on the related Loan (such payment default shall mean any failure to make a
payment on the date such payment is due and such failure continues for more than one calendar day),
(B) a Servicer Default, (C) a Termination Event or (D) an Unmatured Termination Event, in each case
to advance to an Obligor of any Revolving Loan in a given Collection Period prior to the last day
of such Collection Period an amount not to exceed the Principal Collections

-95-

 

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

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

     Section 6.5 Servicer Advances.

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

     Section 6.6 Realization Upon Defaulted Loans.

     The Servicer will use reasonable efforts to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the
ownership of any Related Property relating to a Defaulted Loan and will act as sales and processing
agent for Related Property that it repossesses. The Servicer will follow such other practices and
procedures as it deems necessary or advisable and as are customary and usual in its servicing of
contracts and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such Related Property, which
practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to enforce all obligations of Obligors and
repossessing and selling such Related Property at public or private sale in circumstances other
than those described in the preceding sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
unless the Administrative Agent has specifically given instruction to the contrary, the Servicer
may sell any such Related Property to the Servicer or its Affiliates for a

-96-

 

purchase price equal to the then fair market value thereof, any such sale to be evidenced by a
certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to the Administrative Agent setting
forth the Loan, the Related Property, the sale price of the Related Property and certifying that
such sale price is the fair market value of such Related Property. In any case in which any such
Related Property has suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any
repair or toward the repossession of such Related Property unless it reasonably determines that
such repair and/or repossession will increase the Recoveries by an amount greater than the amount
of such expenses. The Servicer will remit to the Collection Account the Recoveries received in
connection with the sale or disposition of Related Property relating to a Defaulted Loan.

     Section 6.7 Maintenance of Insurance Policies.

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

     Section 6.8 Servicing Compensation.

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

     Section 6.9 Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer.

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

     Section 6.10 Reports.

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

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

substantially in the form of Exhibit J.

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

other documents and information required to be delivered under the Loan documents to the applicable
Seller and/or the initial Servicer with respect to any Loan.

     Section 6.11 Annual Statement as to Compliance.

     The Servicer will provide to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent, within ninety
(90) days following the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, a fiscal report signed by a

and the Servicer’s performance pursuant to this Agreement, for the fiscal period ending on the last
day of such fiscal year has been made under such Person’s supervision and (b) the Servicer has

     Section 6.13 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others

-101-

 

not to have occurred, to the extent that either (i) the surrender of the related collateral in
whole to (or liquidation of the related collateral in whole by) the repo counterparty under such

Effect upon the Collateral, the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent or the Secured Parties,
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent;

     (n) CapitalSource Finance ceases to be the Servicer; or

     (o) the Servicer fails (or fails to cause the related REO Asset Owner) in any material respect
to comply with the provisions herein relating to the servicing and administering of any REO Asset;

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

     Section 6.16 Appointment of Successor Servicer.

     (a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice pursuant to
Section 6.15, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this
Agreement until the date specified in the Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the
Administrative Agent in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Servicer Termination
Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent, until a date mutually agreed upon by the
Servicer and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at the time described in the
immediately preceding sentence in its sole discretion, appoint the Backup Servicer as the Servicer
hereunder, and the Backup Servicer shall on such date assume all obligations of the Servicer
hereunder, and all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be
vested in the Backup Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Backup Servicer shall be entitled to
the Servicing Fee, together with other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late
payment charges or otherwise as provided herein; including, without limitation, Transition
Expenses. In the event that the Administrative Agent does not so appoint the Backup Servicer,
there is no Backup Servicer or the Backup Servicer is unable to assume such obligations on such
date, the Administrative Agent shall as promptly as possible appoint a

-102-

 

successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall
accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and
each Purchaser Agent. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not accepted its appointment at
the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Administrative Agent shall petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution, having a net
worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of Collateral,
as the Successor Servicer hereunder.

     (b) Upon its appointment, the Backup Servicer (subject to Section 6.16(a)) or the
Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with
respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and
provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to
the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable; provided, however, that the Backup
Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall have (i) no liability with respect to any
action performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the Backup Servicer or Successor
Servicer, as applicable, becomes the successor to the Servicer or any claim of a third party based
on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any
advancing obligations, if any, of the Servicer unless it elects to in its sole discretion, (iii) no
obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer (provided, that the Backup Servicer
or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall pay any income taxes for which it is liable), (iv) no
obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the transactions contemplated
hereby, and (v) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations
of any prior Servicer, including the original Servicer. The indemnification obligations of the
Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, upon becoming a Successor Servicer, are
expressly limited to those arising on account of its failure to act in good faith and with
reasonable care under the circumstances. In addition, the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer,
as applicable, shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the
Servicer contained in Article IV. Further, for so long as the Backup Servicer shall be the
Successor Servicer, the provisions of Section 2.15, Section 2.16(b) and Section
2.16(e) of this Agreement shall not apply to it in its capacity as Servicer.

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

     (d) Upon the Backup Servicer receiving notice that it is required to serve as the Servicer
hereunder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.16, the Backup Servicer
will promptly begin the transition to its role as the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Backup Servicer may, in its discretion, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, any established servicing institution as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer
hereunder.

-103-

 

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

     Section 6.17 Servicing of REO Assets.

     (a) If, in the reasonable business judgment of the Servicer, it becomes necessary to convert
any Loan that is secured by a Mortgage or real property and included in the Collateral into an REO
Asset in accordance with Section 6.6, the Servicer shall first cause the applicable Seller
to transfer and assign such Real Estate Loan (or the portion thereof owned by such Seller) to a
special purpose vehicle (the “REO Asset Owner”) using a contribution agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit L. All membership interests and any other equity of
the REO Asset Owner acquired by the applicable Seller shall immediately become a part of the
Collateral and be subject to the grant of a security interest under Section 9.1 and shall
be promptly delivered to the Collateral Custodian, each undated and duly indorsed in blank. The
REO Asset Owner shall be formed and operated pursuant to a limited liability company operating
agreement substantially in the form as Exhibit M, with any alterations thereto as
reasonably agreed to by the Servicer and the Administrative Agent. After execution thereof, the
Servicer shall prevent the REO Asset Owner from agreeing to any amendment or other modification of
the REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating agreement without first obtaining the
written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Servicer shall cause each REO Asset to be
serviced (i)

-104-

 

in accordance with Applicable Laws, (ii) with reasonable care and diligence, (iii) in
accordance with the applicable REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating agreement,
(iv) in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and (v) with a view toward maximizing
Recoveries on such REO Asset (collectively, the “REO Servicing Standard”). The Servicer
will cause all “Distributable Cash” (as defined in the respective REO Asset Owner’s limited
liability company operating agreement) to be deposited into the Collection Account within two
Business Days of receipt thereof. At all times prior to the “Threshold Date” (as defined in the
applicable REO Asset Owner limited liability company operating agreement), the Servicer shall not
permit the REO Asset Owner to undertake any of the activities set forth in Section 9.4(c) (or
comparable section) of such REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating agreement.

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

     (c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Servicer
shall not (and shall not permit the REO Asset Owner to) obtain title to any Related Property as a
result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, obtain title to any direct or indirect
partnership interest in any Obligor pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the
beneficial owner of Related Property, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to, and shall
not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Related Property
if, as a result of any such action, the REO Asset Owner would be considered to hold title to, to be
a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of, such Related Property within
the Meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended from time to time, or any comparable state or local environmental law, unless the Servicer
has previously determined in accordance with the REO Servicing Standard, based on an updated Phase
I environmental assessment report generally prepared in accordance with the ASTM Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment Standard E 1527-05, as may be amended or, with respect to residential
property, a property inspection and title report, that:

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

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

-105-

 

of the Sellers and the REO Asset Owner to take such actions with respect to the
affected Related Property.

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

Servicer has still not cured any non-compliance by a Loan with a Review Criteria, the
Collateral Custodian shall promptly notify the applicable Seller and the Administrative

report, the Collateral Custodian shall return any Loan which fails to satisfy a Review
Criteria to the applicable Seller. Other than the foregoing, the Collateral Custodian shall
not have any responsibility for reviewing any Required Loan Documents.

-110-

maintained in such a manner so as to permit retrieval and access. All Required Loan
Documents shall be clearly segregated from any other documents or instruments maintained by
the Collateral Custodian.

     (iv) The Collateral Custodian shall make payments pursuant to the terms of the Monthly
Report in accordance with Section 2.10 (the “Payment Duties”).

identifying each Loan for which it holds Required Loan Documents, the non-complying Loans
and the applicable Review Criteria that any non-complying Loan fails to satisfy.

     (vi) In performing its duties, the Collateral Custodian shall use the same degree of
care and attention as it employs with respect to similar Collateral that it holds as
Collateral Custodian.

     Section 8.3 Merger or Consolidation.

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

     Section 8.4 Collateral Custodian Compensation.

     As compensation for its collateral custodian activities hereunder, the Collateral Custodian

Collateral Custodian has been appointed, has agreed to act as Collateral Custodian hereunder, and
has received all Required Loan Documents held by the previous Collateral Custodian.

     Section 8.6 Limitation on Liability.

     (a) The Collateral Custodian may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting
upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, telegram or other document delivered to

protected in acting upon (1) the written instructions of any designated officer of the
Administrative Agent or (2) the verbal instructions of the Administrative Agent.

opinion of such counsel.

     (c) The Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act
done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for
anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in the case of its
willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties and in the case of
the negligent performance of its Payment Duties and in the case of its negligent performance of its

     The Collateral Custodian shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it
except upon the Collateral Custodian’s determination that (i) the performance of its duties
hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable Law and (ii) there is no reasonable action
that the Collateral Custodian could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder
permissible under Applicable Law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the

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

     Section 8.8 Release of Documents.

     (a) Release for Servicing. From time to time and as appropriate for the enforcement
or servicing any of the Collateral, the Collateral Custodian is hereby authorized (unless and until

Custodian to the Servicer.

     (b) Limitation on Release. The foregoing provision respecting release to the Servicer

to more than fifteen (15) Loans at the time being serviced by the Servicer under this Agreement.
Any additional Required Loan Documents or documents requested to be released by the Servicer may be
released only upon written authorization of the Administrative Agent. The limitations of this
paragraph shall not apply to the release of Required Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to the
immediately succeeding subsection.

-113-

 

     (c) Release for Payment. Upon receipt by the Collateral Custodian of the Servicer’s
request for release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with
such payment or repurchase have been credited to the Collection Account as provided in this
Agreement), the Collateral Custodian shall promptly release the related Required Loan Documents to
the Servicer; provided that the Collateral Custodian shall release the Required Loan Documents
related to any REO Asset to the Servicer in connection with the Servicer’s exercise of remedies
thereon promptly upon the Servicer’s request.

so returned and reciting that the conditions to such release have been met (and specifying the
Section or Sections of this Agreement being relied upon for such release). The Collateral
Custodian shall upon its receipt of each such request for return executed by a Seller and the

accountants or other auditors acceptable to the Administrative Agent to conduct, at the Servicer’s

ARTICLE IX

SECURITY INTEREST

     Section 9.1 Grant of Security Interest.

     The parties hereto intend that this Agreement constitute a security agreement and the
transactions effected hereby constitute secured loans by the Purchasers to the Sellers under
Applicable Law. For such purpose, each Seller hereby transfers, conveys, assigns and grants as of
the Closing Date to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, a lien and
continuing security interest in all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under
(but none of the obligations under) all Collateral, whether now existing or hereafter arising or
acquired by such Seller, and wherever the same may be located, to secure the prompt, complete and
indefeasible payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or
otherwise, of the Aggregate Unpaids of such Seller arising in connection with this Agreement, the
Sellers Guaranty and each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to
become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, including, without limitation, all
Aggregate Unpaids. The assignment under this Section 9.1 does not constitute and is not
intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser
Agents, the Liquidity Banks or any of the Secured Parties of any obligation of the Sellers or any
other Person in connection with any or all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument
relating thereto. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the Sellers shall remain
liable under the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and
obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the
exercise by the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the
Collateral shall not release the Sellers from any of its duties or obligations under the
Collateral, and (c) none of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Liquidity Banks or
any Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this
Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Liquidity Banks or any
Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Sellers thereunder or
to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

     Section 9.2 Release of Lien on Collateral.

     At the same time as (i) any Collateral expires by its terms and all amounts in respect thereof
have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account, (ii) this
agreement terminates in accordance with Section 13.6 or (iii) such Loan is assigned, sold,
transferred or re-transferred and removed in accordance with Section 2.19, Section
2.20 or Section 4.6, the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties will, to
the extent requested by the Servicer, release its interest in such Collateral. In connection with
any sale of such Related Property, the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties will
after the deposit by the Servicer of the Proceeds of such sale into the Collection Account, at the
sole expense of the Servicer, execute and deliver to the Servicer any assignments, bills of sale,
termination statements and any other releases and instruments as the Servicer may reasonably
request in order to effect the release and transfer of such Related Property; provided, that the
Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties will make no representation or warranty,

-115-

 

express or implied, with respect to any such Related Property in connection with such sale or
transfer and assignment. Nothing in this section shall diminish the Servicer’s obligations
pursuant to Section 6.6 with respect to the Proceeds of any such sale.

     Section 9.3 Further Assurances.

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

     Section 9.4 [Reserved].

     Section 9.5 Waiver of Certain Laws.

     Each of the Sellers and the Servicer agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree,
that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take
advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in
force in any locality where any Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the
enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any
part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such
sale, of the Purchasers thereof, and each of the Sellers and the Servicer, for itself and all who
may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful
so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or
assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Administrative
Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this
Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such parcels as the Administrative Agent or
such court may determine.

     Section 9.6 Power of Attorney.

     Each of the Sellers and the Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent its
true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at is
expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this
Agreement, including without limitation the following powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts
or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of
the Collateral in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to
execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other
instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Sellers and the Servicer
hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do
hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (d) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in
connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document. Nevertheless, if so requested by the
Administrative Agent or a Purchaser Agent, the Sellers shall ratify and confirm any such sale or
other disposition by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser all
proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such
request.

perform its respective duties under any Collateral;

be paid by the Sellers to the Indemnified Party within five Business Days following such Person’s
demand therefor.

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

     (d) The obligations of the Sellers under this Section 11.1 shall survive the
resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Servicer, the Backup
Servicer or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND PURCHASER AGENTS

     Section 12.1 The Administrative Agent.

     (a) Each Purchaser Agent and each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Agent as its agent and bailee for purposes of perfection pursuant to the applicable
UCC or other Applicable Law and hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint
additional agents and bailees to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each of the Purchaser
Agents and each Secured Party. Each of the Purchaser Agents and each Secured Party further
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such
powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the

-123-

 

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

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

     (c) Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of
its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of
the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal
counsel (including counsel for the Sellers or the Originators), independent public accountants and
other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in
good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes
no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to
ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the Sellers,
the Originators, or the Servicer or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of
the Sellers, the Originators, or the Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible for the due execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the
other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or
thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this

-124-

 

Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including
notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telex)
believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

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

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

     (f) Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time,
effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided
below, by giving at least five days’ written notice thereof to each Purchaser Agent and the Sellers
and may be removed at any time with cause by the Purchaser Agents acting jointly. Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Purchaser Agents acting jointly shall appoint a successor
Administrative Agent. Each of the Purchaser Agents agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold
or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within
thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the
removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf
of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor

-125-

 

Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent shall be either (i) a commercial
bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and have a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (ii) an Affiliate of such a bank. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative
Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all
the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.
After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent,
the provisions of this Article XII shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

     (g) Payments by the Administrative Agent. Unless specifically allocated to a specific
Purchaser Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Purchaser Agents shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Purchaser
Agents in accordance with their respective Pro-Rata Shares in the applicable Advances Outstanding
on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after

     Section 13.10 No Proceedings.

     (a) Each of the parties hereto (other than a particular Conduit Purchaser) hereby agrees that
it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit
Purchaser, the Administrative Agent, the related Purchaser Agent or any Liquidity Banks any
Insolvency Proceeding so long as any commercial paper issued by the applicable Conduit Purchaser
shall be outstanding and there shall not have elapsed one year and one day since the last day on
which any such commercial paper shall have been outstanding.

     (b) Each of the parties hereto (other than a particular Additional Purchaser) hereby agrees
that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against such Additional

shall have been outstanding.

     (c) Each of the parties hereto (other than the Administrative Agent without the consent of the
Purchaser Agents) hereby agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in
instituting against, either Seller any Insolvency Proceeding so long as there shall not have
elapsed one year and one day since the Collection Date; provided, that nothing in this Section
13.10 shall limit any party’s right to file any claim in or otherwise take any action with
respect to any insolvency proceeding that was instituted by any other Person.

     Section 13.11 Recourse Against Certain Parties.

     (a) No recourse under or with respect to any obligation, covenant or agreement (including,
without limitation, the payment of any fees or any other obligations) of the Administrative Agent,
the Purchaser Agents, or any Secured Party as contained in this Agreement or any other agreement,
instrument or document entered into by it pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall be had
against any administrator of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, or any Secured Party,
or any incorporator, affiliate, stockholder, officer,

-133-

 

employee or director of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, or any Secured Party,
or of any such administrator, as such, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or
equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and
understood that the agreements of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, or any Secured
Party contained in this Agreement and all of the other agreements, instruments and documents
entered into by it pursuant hereto or in connection herewith are, in each case, solely the
corporate obligations of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, or any Secured Party, and
that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to or be incurred by any administrator of the
Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, or any Secured Party or any incorporator, stockholder,
affiliate, officer, employee or director of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, or any
Secured Party or of any such administrator, as such, or any other of them, under or by reason of
any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents,
or any Secured Party contained in this Agreement or in any other such instruments, documents or
agreements, or that are implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability of every such
administrator of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, or any Secured Party and each
incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer, employee or director of the Administrative Agent,
the Purchaser Agents, or any Secured Party or of any such administrator, or any of them, for
breaches by the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, or any Secured Party of any such
obligations, covenants or agreements, which liability may arise either at common law or at equity,
by statute or constitution, or otherwise, is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in
consideration for the execution of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 13.11
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

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

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

-134-

 

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

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

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

     (b) Each Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and
deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Advance hereunder and
the security interest granted in the Collateral, or to enable the Administrative Agent or the
Secured Parties to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder or under any
Transaction Document.

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

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

-135-

 

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

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

     Section 13.13 Confidentiality.

     (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Secured Parties, the Servicer,
the Collateral Custodian, the Backup Servicer and each Seller shall maintain and shall cause each
of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of the Agreement and all information
with respect to the other parties, including all information regarding the business of the Sellers
and the Servicer hereto and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with
the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein or related to
any of the underlying Obligors, except that each such party and its officers and employees may (i)
disclose such information to its external accountants, attorneys, rating agencies, investors,
potential investors, parties that provide or may in the future provide first loss or credit
enhancement to such Person and the agents of such Persons (“Excepted Persons”), (ii)
disclose the existence of the Agreement, but not the financial terms thereof, (iii) disclose such
information as is required by Applicable Law and (iv) disclose the Agreement and such information
in any suit, action, proceeding or investigation (whether in law or in equity or pursuant to
arbitration) involving any of the Transaction Documents for the purpose of defending itself,
reducing its liability, or protecting or exercising any of its claims, rights, remedies, or
interests under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents. It is understood that the
financial terms that may not be disclosed except in compliance with this Section 13.13(a)
include, without limitation, all fees and other pricing terms, and all Termination Events, Servicer
Defaults, and priority of payment provisions. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser
Agents, the Secured Parties, the Collateral Custodian and the Backup Servicer will not use any such
information referenced in this clause (a) regarding the business of either Seller and the
Servicer hereto and their respective businesses related to any of the underlying Obligors for the
purpose of their own (or their Affiliates) business development with such underlying Obligor
without the prior written consent of such Seller and the Servicer (provided that such consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld).

     (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Sellers and the Servicer each hereby
consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it (i) to the
Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Collateral Custodian, the Backup Servicer or the
Secured Parties by each other, (ii) by the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the
Collateral Custodian, the Backup Servicer and the Secured Parties to any prospective or actual
assignee or participant of any of them provided such Person agrees to hold such information
confidential, or (iii) by the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, and the Secured Parties
to any commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity

-136-

 

enhancement to any Purchaser, as applicable, and to any officers, directors, employees,
outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing, provided each such Person is informed of
the confidential nature of such information. In addition, the Secured Parties, the Administrative
Agent and the Purchaser Agents, may disclose any such nonpublic information as required pursuant to
any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or
regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law).

     (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to
prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known; (ii)
disclosure of any and all information (a) if required to do so by any applicable statute, law, rule
or regulation, (b) to any government agency or regulatory body having or claiming authority to
regulate or oversee any respects of the Administrative Agents’, the Purchaser Agents’, the Secured
Parties’, the Collateral Custodian’s or the Backup Servicer’s business or that of their affiliates,
(c) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar demand or request of any court,
regulatory authority, arbitrator or arbitration to which the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser
Agents, the Secured Parties, the Collateral Custodian or the Backup Servicer or an officer,
director, employer, shareholder or affiliate of any of the foregoing is a party, (d) in any
preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement or contract or other document
approved in advance by either Seller, the Servicer or any of the Originators or (e) to any
affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Collateral Custodian
or Backup Servicer having a need to know the same, provided, that the Collateral
Custodian or Backup Servicer advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the information
being disclosed; or (iii) any other disclosure authorized by either Seller, the Servicer or any of
the Originators.

     Section 13.14 Execution in Counterparts; Severability; Integration.

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

     Section 13.15 Waiver of Setoff.

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

-137-

 

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

     Section 13.16 Assignments.

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

     Section 13.17 Heading and Exhibits.

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

     Section 13.18 Loans Subject to Retained Interest Provisions.

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

     (b) With respect to any Term Loans included in the Collateral subject to the Retained Interest
provisions of this Agreement, Principal Collections and Interest Collections received by the
Servicer will be allocated between the portion owned by the applicable Seller and the portion

-138-

 

not owned by such Seller (if any) on a pro rata basis according to the outstanding principal
amount of such portion.

     Section 13.19 Tax Treatment of the Advance.

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

ARTICLE XIV

GUARANTY

     Section 14.1 The Guaranty.

     (a) In order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents to
enter into this Agreement and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the
Guarantors from the Sellers Guaranty, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees with the Administrative
Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties as follows: the Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably jointly and severally guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full
and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all
Aggregate Unpaids, subject to Section 14.9 and Section 14.10 (the “Guaranteed
Obligations”). If any or all of such indebtedness becomes due and payable hereunder, each
Guarantor unconditionally promises to deposit (or cause to be deposited) on demand into the
Collections Account sufficient funds to pay such Guaranteed Obligations together with any and all
reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party
in collecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject to Section 14.9 and
Section
14.10. The Guaranty set forth in this Article XIV is a guaranty of timely payment and
not of collection. The word “indebtedness” is used in this Article XIV in its most
comprehensive sense and includes any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities of the
Sellers, including specifically all Guaranteed Obligations, arising in connection with this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document, in each case, heretofore, now, or hereafter made,
incurred or created, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, absolute or contingent, liquidated or
unliquidated, determined or undetermined, whether or not such indebtedness is from time to time
reduced, or extinguished and thereafter increased or incurred, whether the Sellers may be liable
individually or jointly with others, whether or not recovery upon such indebtedness may be or
hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether or not such indebtedness may be
or hereafter become otherwise unenforceable; provided, however, that the word “indebtedness” as
used in this Article XIV shall not include any amounts owed under clause (i) of
the definition of Aggregate Unpaids.

     (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the
Transaction Documents, to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated

-139-

 

to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any
applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the
obligations of each such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is
permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the
Bankruptcy Code).

     Section 14.2 Bankruptcy.

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

     Section 14.3 Nature of Liability.

     The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or
other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Sellers whether executed by such Guarantor, any
other guarantor or by any other party, and no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be affected or
impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by a Seller or by any other party, or
(b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of
any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations of a Seller, or (c) any payment on or in reduction
of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase,
decrease or change in personnel by the Servicer or any of the Originators, or (e) any payment made
to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party on the Guaranteed Obligations that the
Administrative Agent or such Secured Party repays to a Seller pursuant to court order in any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each of
the Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by
reason of any such proceeding.

     Section 14.4 Independent Obligation.

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

-140-

 

     Section 14.5 Authorization.

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

     Section 14.6 Reliance.

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

     Section 14.7 Waiver.

     (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable
statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to
(i) proceed against the Sellers, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or
exhaust any security held from the Sellers, any other guarantor or any other party, or (iii)
pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Secured Party’s power whatsoever.
Each of the Guarantors hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the
Sellers, any other guarantor or any other party other than payment in full of the Guaranteed
Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations), including without limitation any
defense based on or arising out of the disability of either Seller, the Servicer, any of the
Originators, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability
of the Sellers other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Administrative Agent
may, as set forth in Section 10.2, foreclose on any security or exercise any other right
or remedy the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may have against the Sellers or any
other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any
Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full. Each
of the Guarantors hereby waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any
right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantors against the
Sellers or any other party or any security.

     (b) Each of the Guarantors hereby waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests
and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance,

-141-

 

notice of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of the Guaranty, and notices of
the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor
assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Sellers’, Servicer’s and
Originators’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk
of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which
such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor
any other Secured Party shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it
regarding such circumstances or risks.

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

     Section 14.8 Limitation on Enforcement.

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

     Section 14.9 Limitations on Payment.

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

-142-

 

     Section 14.10 Limited Recourse and No Proceedings.

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

ARTICLE II

PURCHASE OF THE VARIABLE FUNDING CERTIFICATES

          Section 2.1 The Variable Funding Certificates.

     (a) On the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, Seller delivered to the
Administrative Agent at its address set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement (for the
benefit of the applicable Purchasers) on the Closing Date, a duly executed variable funding
certificate (each such certificate, a “Variable Funding Certificate” or “VFC”), in substantially
the form of Exhibit B. Each Variable Funding Certificate shall evidence an undivided
ownership interest (and the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign and convey such undivided
ownership interest to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers) in the Collateral
purchased by a Purchaser in an amount equal, at any time, to the percentage equivalent of a
fraction (i) the numerator of which is the Advances outstanding under the applicable VFC on such
day, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total aggregate Advances Outstanding on such day.
Interest shall accrue, and each VFC shall be payable, as described herein; provided that the
aggregate amount outstanding under all VFCs at any one time shall not exceed the Facility Amount.

     (b) On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, during the Revolving Period, the Seller
may, at its option, request advances of funds under the VFCs (each, an “Advance”) and the Issuers
may, in their sole discretion, fund such Advance ratably in accordance with their Issuer Purchase
Limits (or in such other proportion as the Issuers may mutually agree), and if the Issuers do not
fund the entire amount of such Advance, the Liquidity Banks shall fund, ratably in accordance with
their Commitments, any portion of such Advance not funded by the Issuers; provided, that in no
event shall the Purchasers make any Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance, the aggregate
Advances Outstanding hereunder would exceed the lesser of (i) the Facility Amount or (ii) the
Maximum Availability. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.1 or elsewhere
in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no Issuer shall fund any Advance at any time if, after
giving effect thereto, the outstanding principal amount of Advances funded by such Issuer would
exceed such Issuer’s Issuer Purchase Limit, and (ii) no Liquidity Bank shall be obligated to
provide the Administrative Agent or the Seller with aggregate funds in connection with an Advance
that would exceed such Liquidity Bank’s Commitment then in effect. Each Advance made by the
Purchasers hereunder is subject to the interests of the Hedge Counterparties under Section
2.9(a)(1) and Section 2.10(a)(1) of this Agreement.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document to the contrary, (i) nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
shall constitute a commitment by any Issuer to fund any Advance and (ii) the Issuers shall not be
liable to make any payments under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (all liability
with respect to which shall be an obligation of the Liquidity Banks or the Administrative Agent).

     (d) The initial Advances hereunder were funded on the Closing Date, and were funded against
(i) the Seller’s acquisition from the Issuer (as defined in the Indenture) and assignment hereunder
of the Existing Assets, free and clear of the Lien of the Indenture, and (ii) any Additional Assets
necessary or desirable for the Seller to include as Assets to be financed hereunder in connection
with procuring the release of the Existing Assets from the Indenture by repayment of the CS VII
Issuer Financing Obligations secured under the Indenture in full.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement and the VFCs to
be issued thereunder shall constitute a single revolving debt facility with a single maturity and
Seller shall not take any action under the Agreement that would cause Seller to have outstanding
one or more

54

 

debt obligations with two or more maturities hereunder. For purposes of this section, debt
obligations have “two or more maturities” if they have different stated maturities or if the
holders of the debt obligations possess different rights concerning the acceleration of or delay in
the maturities of the obligations.

          Section 2.2 [Intentionally Omitted].

          Section 2.3 Procedures for Advances.

     (a) Each Advance from a Purchaser hereunder shall be effected by the Seller (or the Servicer
on its behalf) delivering to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Custodian and
the Backup Servicer) a duly completed Borrowing Notice (along with a Borrowing Base Certificate) no
later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City, New York time) at least one Business Day prior to the proposed
Funding Date; provided that no more than two Advances shall be made in any one calendar week
without the Administrative Agent’s prior consent. Each Borrowing Notice (along with a Borrowing
Base Certificate) shall (i) specify the desired amount of such Advance, which amount must be at
least equal to $250,000, (ii) specify the date of such Advance, (iii) specify the Assets to be
financed on such Funding Date (including the appropriate file number and Outstanding Asset Balance
for each Asset, and identifying each Rated Retained Security or Loan by type and whether such Loan
is a Senior Loan, Senior B-Note Loan, Subordinated Loan, Acquired Loan, or Participation Loan) and
(iv) include a representation that all conditions precedent for an Advance described in Article
III hereof have been met. Each Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable.

     Each Issuer shall promptly thereafter notify the Administrative Agent whether such Issuer has
determined to make the requested Advance on the terms specified by the Seller, and the Issuers
shall notify the Administrative Agent of the funding allocation as between them (if other than
proportional to their Issuer Purchase Limits). The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter
notify the Seller whether the Issuers have determined to make the requested purchase and, if so,
whether all of the terms specified by the Seller are acceptable to the Issuers. If the Issuers
have determined not to make the entire amount of an Advance requested to be made, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly send notice of the proposed Advance to all of the Liquidity
Banks concurrently specifying the date of such Advance, the aggregate amount of such Advance to be
funded by the Liquidity Banks (which amount shall be equal to the portion of the Advance not funded
by the Issuers), and each such Liquidity Bank’s portion thereof (determined ratably in accordance
with its respective Commitment).

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

     (c) Effective on the date of each Advance pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Seller
hereby sells and assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers making such
Advance, all Assets listed on the attachment to the Borrowing Notice delivered in connection with
such Advance, and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto.

     (d) On each Funding Date, the obligation of each Liquidity Bank to remit its pro rata share of
each Advance shall be several from that of each other Liquidity Bank and the failure of any
Liquidity Bank to so make such amount available to the Seller shall not relieve any other Liquidity
Bank of its obligation hereunder. No Liquidity Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Liquidity Bank to make funds available in connection with any Advance.

55

 

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

     (a) The Seller may, upon at least 10 days’ prior written notice (such notice to be received by
the Administrative Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City, New York time) on such day) to the
Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the portion of the Facility Amount that
exceeds the sum of the Advances Outstanding, accrued Interest, Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage
Costs; provided that each partial reduction of the Facility Amount shall be in an aggregate amount
equal to at least $1,000,000. Each notice of reduction or termination pursuant to this Section
2.4(a) shall be irrevocable.

     (b) The Seller may, upon one Business Day’s prior written notice (such notice to be received
by the Administrative Agent and each Hedge Counterparty no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City, New
York time) on such day) to the Administrative Agent, reduce the Advances Outstanding by remitting,
to the Administrative Agent, for payment to the applicable Purchasers, (i) cash and (ii)
instructions to reduce such Advances Outstanding, related accrued Interest, Breakage Costs and
Hedge Breakage Costs; provided that no such reduction shall be given effect unless the Seller has
complied with the terms of any Hedging Agreement requiring that one or more Hedge Transactions be
terminated in whole or in part as the result of any such reduction of the Advances Outstanding, and
Seller has paid all Hedge Breakage Costs and any payments owing to the relevant Hedge Counterparty
for any such termination. Any reduction of the Advances Outstanding shall be in a minimum amount
of $250,000. Any such reduction will occur only if sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all
such amounts in the succeeding sentence in full. Upon receipt of such amounts, the Administrative
Agent shall apply such amounts first to the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding
by paying such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, second to the payment of related
accrued Interest on the amount of the Advances Outstanding to be repaid by paying such amounts to
the applicable Purchasers, and third to the payment of any Breakage Costs and Hedge
Breakage Costs and any other payments owing to the applicable Hedge Counterparty in respect of the
termination of any Hedge Transaction; provided, however, if such amounts are received during the
Amortization Period, such amounts shall be applied in the order of priority set forth in
Section 2.10. Any notice relating to any prepayment pursuant to this Section
2.4(b) shall be irrevocable.

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

56

 

          Section 2.5 Determination of Interest.

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

          Section 2.6 Percentage Evidenced by each Variable Funding Certificate.

     The variable percentage ownership interest in the Collateral represented by each VFC shall be
initially computed on its date of purchase as set forth in Section 2.1(a). Thereafter,
until the Termination Date, each VFC shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed)
on each day prior to the Termination Date as set forth in Section 2.1(a). The variable
percentage ownership interest in the Collateral represented by each VFC as computed (or deemed to
be recomputed) as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Termination Date
shall remain constant at all times on and after the Termination Date. The variable percentage
ownership interest in the Collateral represented by each VFC shall become zero when its Advances
and Interest have been indefeasibly paid in full.

          Section 2.7 Notations on Variable Funding Certificates.

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

          Section 2.8 Settlement Procedures for Special Reduction Amounts and Optional
Sales.

     On the Optional Sale Date (with respect to Optional Sales) and or prior to the Special
Reduction Amount Date (with respect to Special Reduction Amounts), the Seller shall remit to the
Administrative Agent the Optional Sale Proceeds or Special Reduction Amount, as applicable, for
payment to reduce Advances Outstanding, related accrued Interest, Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage
Costs. Upon receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts first to
the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding by paying such amounts to the applicable
Purchasers, second to the payment of related accrued Interest on the amount of the Advances
Outstanding to be repaid by paying such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, third to the payment
of any Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs and any other payments owing to the applicable Hedge
Counterparty in respect of the termination of any Hedge Transaction, and fourth, amounts remaining
if any, shall be deposited in the Collection Account for distribution pursuant to Section
2.9 or Section 2.10, as applicable.

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

          Section 2.11 Collections and Allocations.

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

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

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

     (d) Investment of Funds. Until the occurrence of a Termination Event, to the extent
there are uninvested amounts deposited in the Collection Account, all amounts shall be invested in
Permitted Investments selected by the Servicer that mature no later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the next Payment Date; from and after the occurrence of a Termination Event,
to the extent there are uninvested amounts in the Collection Account (net of losses and investment
expenses), all amounts may be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Administrative
Agent that mature no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date. All
earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) thereon shall be retained or deposited into the
Collection Account, and shall be applied pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.9 and
Section 2.10.

60

 

          Section 2.12 Payments, Computations, Etc.

     (a) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid or deposited by the
Seller or the Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no
later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City, New York time) on the day when due in lawful money of the
United States in immediately available funds to the Agent’s Account and if not received before such
time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Seller shall, to the extent permitted
by law, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder
at 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand; provided that such interest rate shall
not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. Such interest shall be for
the account of, and distributed to, each applicable Purchaser. All computations of interest and
all computations of Interest and other fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year
consisting of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last
day) elapsed.

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

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

          Section 2.13 Mandatory Repurchase.

     On the first Payment Date following the Termination Date when the Borrowing Base is less than
15% of the Borrowing Base as of the Termination Date, the Seller shall notify the Administrative
Agent in writing of its intention to purchase all remaining Collateral. On the Payment Date next
succeeding any such notice, the Seller shall (i) terminate all Hedge Transactions in accordance
with their terms and (ii) purchase all remaining Collateral for a price equal to the Aggregate
Unpaids and the proceeds of such purchase will be deposited into the Collection Account and paid in
accordance with Section 2.10.

          Section 2.14 Fees.

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

     (b) The Servicer shall be entitled to receive a fee (the “Servicing Fee”), monthly in arrears
in accordance with Section 2.9(a)(3) and Section 2.10(a)(3), as applicable, which
fee shall be equal to the

61

 

sum of (a) the product of (i) the Servicing Fee Rate applicable to
Eligible Assets which are not Workout

          Section 2.15 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.

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

     (b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law,
guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any
law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other governmental
authority or agency (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation,
compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that
which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance
(taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by
an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, within ten days
after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be

62

 

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

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

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

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

     (f) For avoidance of doubt, if the issuance of Interpretation No. 46 by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board or any other change in accounting standards or the issuance of any other
pronouncement, release or interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion
of the assets and liabilities of the Originator or Seller with the assets and liabilities of the
Administrative Agent, any Purchaser or any Liquidity Bank (a “Consolidation Event”), such event
shall constitute a circumstance on which such Affected Party may base a claim for reimbursement
under this Section 2.15. In addition, if a Consolidation Event shall occur, each of the
Administrative Agent, Purchasers, Originator, Servicer and Seller agrees to work in good faith to
(i) obtain a rating for the Advances acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (ii) seek an
alternative term financing and facilitate the transfer or assignment by the Purchasers of the
Advances and Assets in connection with such alternative term financing.

          Section 2.16 Taxes.

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

63

 

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

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

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

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

     (f) The Servicer will indemnify (and to the extent the indemnification provided by the
Servicer is insufficient the Seller will indemnify) each Affected Party to the extent of any
amounts that are required to be deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement and are not so deposited by virtue of any Tax imposed as a result of Seller, CS Funding
IX Depositor LLC, 2007-A/LLC or some portion or combination of the foregoing being treated as a
“taxable mortgage pool” within the meaning of Section 7701(i) of the Code (and notwithstanding a
breach, if any, by a Liquidity Bank of its obligations under Section 13.16(d) below).

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

          Section 2.17 Assignment of the Sale Agreement.

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

64

 

Seller confirms that the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the
sole right to enforce the Seller’s rights and remedies under the Sale Agreement and any UCC
financing statements filed under or in connection therewith for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

          Section 2.18 Substitution of Assets.

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

     (a) the Seller has recommended to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral
Custodian) in writing that the Asset to be replaced should be replaced (each a “Replaced Asset”);

     (b) each Substitute Asset is an Eligible Asset on the date of substitution;

     (c) after giving effect to any such substitution, the Advances Outstanding do not exceed the
lesser of (i) the Facility Amount and (ii) the Maximum Availability;

     (d) for purposes only of substitutions pursuant to Section 4.6 undertaken because an
Asset has become a Warranty Asset, the aggregate Outstanding Asset Balance of such Substitute
Assets shall be equal to or greater than the aggregate Outstanding Asset Balances of the Replaced
Assets;

     (e) for purposes only of substitutions pursuant to Section 4.6 undertaken because an
Asset has become a Warranty Asset, such Substitute Assets, at the time of substitution by the
Seller, shall have no greater weighted average life than the Replaced Asset;

     (f) all representations and warranties of the Seller contained in Section 4.1 and
Section 4.2 shall be true and correct as of the date of substitution of any such Substitute
Asset;

     (g) the substitution of any Substitute Asset does not cause a Termination Event or Unmatured
Termination Event to occur;

     (h) the sum of the Outstanding Asset Balance of all Assets that are Substitute Assets (other
than in the case of substitutions pursuant to Section 4.6 undertaken because an Asset has become a
Warranty Asset) does not exceed 20% of the Facility Amount;

     (i) the sum of (a) the Outstanding Asset Balance of all Substitute Assets (other than in the
case of substitutions pursuant to Section 4.6 undertaken because an Asset has become a Warranty
Asset) substituted for Delinquent Assets and Charged-Off Assets plus (b) the Outstanding Asset
Balance of all Delinquent Assets and Charged-Off Assets (determined without regard to either of the
provisos in the definition of Outstanding Asset Balance) that have been sold pursuant to an
Optional Sale shall not exceed 10% of the Facility Amount; and

     (j) the Seller shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the date of such substitution a
certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that each of the foregoing is true and correct as
of such date.

65

 

     In addition, the Seller shall in connection with such substitution deliver to the Collateral
Custodian the related Required Asset Documents. In connection with any such substitution, the
Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, shall, automatically and without further
action, be deemed to transfer to the Seller (or any Affiliate of the Seller designated by the
Seller), free and clear of any Lien created pursuant to this Agreement, all of the right, title and
interest of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in, to and under such
Replaced Asset, but without any representation and warranty of any kind, express or implied.

          Section 2.19 Optional Sales.

     The Seller may, subject to the Seller’s receipt of the prior written consent from the
Administrative Agent (determined in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) and subject to the
terms and conditions so approved, prepay all or a portion of the Advances Outstanding in connection
with the sale and assignment to the Seller by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured
Parties of the Collateral and subsequent sale and transfer of such Collateral by the Seller (each,
an “Optional Sale”).

          Section 2.20 [Intentionally Omitted].

          Section 2.21 Special Funding Account.

     (a) Establishment of Special Funding Account. On the Reserve Funding Date, the
Collateral Custodian shall establish and shall thereafter maintain a separate segregated trust
account with the Paying Agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the name of the Collateral Custodian
(the “Special Funding Account”). On the Reserve Funding Date, the Seller shall deposit into the
Special Funding Account an amount not less than $12,500,000 in immediately available funds.

     (b) Purpose. The Special Funding Account is being established for the sole purpose of
providing Seller funding for Eligible Assets in an amount exceeding its Loan Threshold Amount and
that is not funded through New Advances (a “Qualified Utilization”).

     (c) Held in Trust. All monies held in the Special Funding Account, to the extent not
released in the manner set forth in subsection (d) below, shall be held in trust. The Special
Funding Account shall at all times remain separately identified, and the amounts on deposit in such
Special Funding Account shall not be commingled with any other monies held by the Collateral
Custodian.

     (d) Permitted Withdrawal. So long as no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination
Event has occurred and is continuing, upon one Business Day’s prior written notice to the
Collateral Custodian, the Servicer may withdraw on any Business Day during the Revolving Period
amounts held in the Special Funding Account for the sole purpose of a Qualified Utilization. Such
written notice shall be delivered by 1:00 p.m. (New York City, New York time) and shall include a
written certification from the Servicer and the Seller stating that (i) all funds withdrawn
pursuant to the attached notice shall be utilized solely for a Qualified Utilization, and (ii) all
conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2(b) for an Advance shall have been satisfied
in full as of such proposed date of withdrawal. Following the withdrawal of all amounts held in
the Special Funding Account, the parties hereto hereby direct the Collateral Custodian to close the
Special Funding Account.

     (e) Final Withdrawal. At such time as the Aggregate Unpaids have been paid in full or
no more Collateral remains outstanding, at the direction of CSF, the Collateral Custodian will
return all amounts held in the Special Funding Account to the Seller.

66

 

     (f) Investments. All amounts shall be invested in Permitted Investments selected by
the Servicer that mature no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment
Date. All earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) thereon shall be retained in the
Special Funding Account.

     (g) Monthly Statements. The Collateral Custodian shall provide the Seller and the
Administrative Agent with monthly bank statements for the Special Funding Account, which statements
shall reflect all credits and debits made to such Special Funding Account as of the preceding
month.

          Section 2.22 Appointment of the Placement Agent.

     The Seller and the Servicer each hereby appoints the Administrative Agent (in such capacity,
or any Affiliate designated by the Administrative Agent, the “Placement Agent”) as the sole lead
manager on any term takeout of Loans financed pursuant to this Agreement (a “Refinancing”), whether
through the asset-backed securities market, in connection with Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan
Facility program provided by The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “TALF Program”), or
otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller and Servicer hereby acknowledge that the
appointment of the Placement Agent is a separate engagement from the “Liquidity Bank” role and
arrangement provided by Citibank, N.A. or any of its affiliates and such appointment has been
directed by the Seller in its sole discretion. In connection with any such Refinancing, the
Placement Agent shall, in its reasonable judgment and in consultation with the Seller, determine
the timing, terms and Assets to be included in any such Refinancing; including any determination
that the entry into such Refinancing would achieve extended terms and a lower cost of funds with
respect to financing of the subject Loans than the existing terms hereunder. Upon receiving notice
from the Placement Agent of a proposed Refinancing, the Seller, the Servicer and the Originator
each agrees to cooperate with the Placement Agent and its designees, consistent with their rights
hereunder and the terms hereof, to the extent necessary or appropriate to effectuate any
Refinancing by the Placement Agent pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.22, including
cooperating in making available to the Placement Agent the Asset Files and servicing records
relating to the Loans. In consideration of the benefits received from the Administrative Agent
hereunder, the Seller, the Servicer and Originator each hereby agrees and covenants that in
connection with each Refinancing, it shall, at the request of the Placement Agent, make such
representations and warranties concerning the Loans as of the “cutoff date” of the related
Refinancing to or as directed by the Placement Agent as may be reasonably necessary, in the
reasonable opinion of the Placement Agent, to effect such Refinancing, including any
representations and warranties that may be required under the TALF Program. In addition, the
Seller, the Servicer and Originator shall (A) cooperate with the Placement Agent in effecting any
such Refinancing, including the transfer of all Asset Files with respect to the Loans and shall
cooperate to implement all requirements imposed by any rating agency involved in any Refinancing;
(B) supply such information, opinions of counsel, letters from law and/or accounting firms
(including any certifications, opinions and auditor attestations required under the TALF Program)
and other documentation and certificates regarding the origination of the Loans as the Placement
Agent or any prospective purchaser or investor shall reasonably request to effect a Refinancing,
and enter into such indemnification agreements customary for such transaction (and substantially
similar to indemnification agreements provided for in similar transactions among the parties to the
Refinancing) relating to or in connection with the Refinancing as the Placement Agent may
reasonably require, including certifications, agreements and documents that may be required under
the TALF Program; (C) make itself available for and engage in good faith consultation with the
Placement Agent and prospective purchasers or investors concerning information to be contained in
any document, agreement, private placement memorandum, prospectus, prospectus supplement or similar
document or filing with The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Securities and Exchange
Commission or such other governmental or regulatory entity relating to the Seller or the related
Loans and use reasonable efforts to compile any information and prepare any reports and
certificates, into a form, whether written or electronic, suitable for inclusion in such
documentation,

67

 

including certifications, agreements and documents that may be required under the TALF
Program; and (D) to implement the foregoing and to otherwise effect any such Refinancing, enter
into, or cause its Affiliates to enter into insurance and indemnity agreements, underwriting or
placement agreements, servicing agreements, purchase agreements and any other documentation which
may be reasonably required by the Placement Agent in order to effect any such Refinancing; and take
such further actions as may be reasonably necessary to effect the foregoing; provided, that, (a)
the Seller shall not have any liability for the Loans arising from or relating to the ongoing
ability of the related obligors to pay under the Loans; (b) none of the indemnities hereunder shall
constitute an unconditional guarantee by the Seller of collectibility of the Loans; (c) the Seller
shall not have any obligation with respect to the financial inability of any obligor to pay
principal, interest or other amount owing by such obligor under a Loan, (d) the Seller, the
Servicer and the Originator shall not be obligated to make any representation or warranty that is
not true, noting that the Seller, the Servicer and the Originator shall make reasonable efforts to
take all applicable actions which would make such representation or warranty to be true, and (e)
the Seller, the Servicer and the Originator shall not be required to breach any confidentiality
agreement by which it is bound, noting that the Seller, the Servicer and the Originator shall make
reasonable efforts similar to efforts made in previous transactions between the parties to obtain
permissions to take the applicable action which would otherwise have been a breach of such
confidentiality agreement. All costs and expenses in connection with this Section 2.22
shall be the sole responsibility of the Seller.

allocable to such vested benefits (based on the value of such assets as of the last annual

level of regulation and supervision; or (iv) a person or entity that resides in or is organized

fees, renewal and exit fees, advance rate calculations, minimum equity or overcollateralization
requirements, principal reduction terms (other than through the liquidation of a unique collateral

          Section 4.6 Breach of Certain Representations and Warranties.

     If on any day an Asset is (or becomes) a Warranty Asset, no later than two Business Days
following the earlier of knowledge by the Seller of such Asset becoming a Warranty Asset or receipt
by the Seller from the Administrative Agent or the Servicer of written notice thereof, the Seller
shall either: (a) make a deposit to the Collection Account (for allocation pursuant to Section
2.9 or Section 2.10, as applicable) in immediately available funds in an amount equal
to the sum (the “Retransfer Price”) of (i) if such deposit is made during the Revolving Period, the
amount which, if deposited to the Collection Account on such date, would cause the Availability as
of such date (after giving effect to such Warranty Asset ceasing to be an Eligible Asset) to be
greater than or equal to zero, (ii) if such deposit is made during the Amortization Period, an
amount equal to the product of the Outstanding Asset Balance of such Warranty Asset (without giving
effect to either of the provisos in the definition of Outstanding Asset Balance) multiplied by the
Advance Rate applicable to such Warranty Asset on the Funding Date thereof, (iii) any outstanding
Servicer Advances thereon, (iv) any accrued and unpaid interest on such Warranty Asset, (v) all
Hedge Breakage Costs owed to the relevant Hedge Counterparty for any termination of one or more
Hedge Transactions, in whole or in part, as required by the terms of any Hedging Agreement and

88

 

(vi in the case of a Loan, any costs and damages incurred in connection with any violation by
such Loan of any predatory- or abusive-lending law; or (b) subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions in Section 2.18, substitute for such Warranty Asset a Substitute Asset. In
either of the foregoing instances, the Seller may (in its discretion) accept retransfer of each
such Warranty Asset and any Related Security and the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by the
Outstanding Asset Balance of each such Warranty Asset and, if applicable, increased by the
Outstanding Asset Balance of each Substitute Asset. Upon confirmation of the deposit of such
Retransfer Price into the Collection Account or the delivery by the Seller of a Substitute Asset
for each Warranty Asset (the “Retransfer Date”), such Warranty Asset shall not be included in the
Borrowing Base (and, if and when the Seller elects to accept the retransfer of such Warranty Asset,
the Collateral) and, as applicable, the Substitute Asset shall be included in the Collateral. Upon
the Retransfer Date of each Warranty Asset, the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured
Parties, shall (if and when the Seller elects to accept the retransfer of such Warranty Asset)
automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer, assign and set-over to the Seller,
without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the
Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties in, to and under such Warranty Asset and all
future monies due or to become due with respect thereto, the Related Security, all Proceeds of such
Warranty Asset, Recoveries and Insurance Proceeds relating thereto, all rights to security for any
such Warranty Asset, and all Proceeds and products of the foregoing. The Administrative Agent, as
agent for the Secured Parties, shall (if and when the Seller elects to accept the retransfer of
such Warranty Asset), at the sole expense of the Servicer, execute such documents and instruments
of transfer as may be prepared by the Servicer on behalf of the Seller and take other such actions
as shall reasonably be requested by the Seller to effect the transfer of such Warranty Asset
pursuant to this Section 4.6.

Agreement and Hedge Transaction(s) with that Hedge Counterparty (“Hedge Collateral”), and grants a
security interest to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in the Hedge
Collateral. Seller acknowledges that, as a result of that assignment, Seller may not, without the

or Hedge Transaction, except for Seller’s right under any Hedging Agreement to enter into Hedge
Transactions in order to meet the Seller’s obligations under Section 5.3(a) hereof.

ARTICLE VI

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF ASSETS

          Section 6.1 Designation of the Servicer.

     (a) Initial Servicer. The servicing, administering and collection of the Collateral
shall be conducted by the Person designated as the Servicer hereunder from time to time in
accordance with this Section 6.1. Until the Administrative Agent gives to the Originator a
Servicer Termination Notice, the Originator is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform
the duties and responsibilities of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

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

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

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

          Section 6.2 Duties of the Servicer.

     (a) Appointment. The Seller hereby appoints the Servicer as its agent, as from time
to time designated pursuant to Section 6.1, to service the Collateral and enforce its
respective rights in and under such Collateral. The Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and
agrees to perform the duties and obligations with respect thereto as set forth herein. The
Servicer and the Seller hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties
are third party beneficiaries of the obligations undertaken by the Servicer hereunder.

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

101

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

102

 

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

          Section 6.3 Authorization of the Servicer.

     (a) Each of the Seller, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser and each Hedge Counterparty
hereby authorizes the Servicer (including any successor thereto) to take any and all reasonable
steps in its name (or in the name of a REO Asset Owner with respect to any REO Asset) and on its
behalf necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with the sale of the Collateral to the
Purchasers and each Hedge Counterparty, in the determination of the Servicer, to collect all
amounts due under any and all Collateral, including, without limitation, endorsing any of their
names on checks and other instruments representing Collections, executing and delivering any and
all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and
all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral and, after the delinquency of any
Collateral and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence
proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as the Originator could
have done if it had continued to own such Collateral. The Originator, the Seller and the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and each Hedge Counterparty shall furnish the
Servicer (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder,
and shall cooperate with the Servicer to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectibility
of the Collateral. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make the Secured Parties, any
Hedge Counterparty, the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent a party to any litigation
without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make the Seller a party to any litigation
(other than any routine foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative
Agent’s consent.

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

          Section 6.4 Collection of Payments.

     (a) Collection Efforts, Modification of Collateral. The Servicer will use its
reasonable best efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the
Assets included in the Collateral as and when the same become due in accordance with the Credit and
Collection Policy, and will follow those collection procedures that it follows with respect to all
comparable Collateral that it services for itself or others. The Servicer may not waive, modify or
otherwise vary any provision of an item of Collateral in a manner that, in its reasonable judgment,
would impair the collectibility of the Collateral or in any manner contrary to the Credit and
Collection Policy. The Servicer may otherwise amend or modify the underlying documents related to
any item of Collateral in compliance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

103

 

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

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

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

     (e) Payments to Lock-Box Account. On or before the applicable Cut-Off Date, the
Servicer shall have instructed all Obligors (or with respect to Acquired Loans, the applicable
agent) to make all payments in respect of the Collateral to the Lock-Box or directly to the
Lock-Box Account.

     (f) Continuation of the Collection Account. The Servicer shall cause to be continued
on or before the New Effective Date, with the Collateral Custodian, and maintained in the name of
the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties, with an office or branch of a depository
institution or trust company a segregated corporate trust account entitled (from and after the
Closing Date) Collection Account for Citicorp North America, Inc., as Administrative Agent for the
Secured Parties (the “Collection Account”), and the Servicer shall further maintain a subaccount
within the Collection Account for the purpose of segregating, within two Business Days of the
receipt of any Collections, Principal Collections (the “Principal Collections Account”), over which
the Collateral Custodian as agent for the Secured Parties shall have control and from which neither
the Originator, Servicer nor the Seller shall have any right of withdrawal, except with respect to
the rights of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.9(b) and except, at any time upon one Business
Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian, prior to (A) a payment
default on the related Loan (such payment default shall mean any failure to make a payment on the
date such payment is due and such failure continues for more than one calendar day), (B) a Servicer
Default, (C) a Termination Event, or (D) an Unmatured Termination Event, in each case to advance to
an Obligor of any Revolving Loan in a given Collection Period prior to the last day of such
Collection Period an amount not to exceed the Principal Collections received from such Obligor
related to such Revolving Loan during that Collection Period; provided that at all times such
depository institution or trust company shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and a
depository institution organized under the laws of the United States of America or any one of the
States thereof or the District of Columbia (or any domestic branch of a foreign bank), (i) (a) that
has either (1) a long-term unsecured debt rating of “A” or better by S&P and “A2” or better by
Moody’s or (2) a short-term unsecured debt rating or certificate of deposit rating of “A-1” or
better by S&P or “P-1” or better by

104

 

Moody’s, (b) the parent corporation of which has either (1) a long-term unsecured debt rating
of “A” or better by S&P and “A2” or better by Moody’s or (2) a short-term unsecured debt rating or
certificate of deposit rating of “A-1” or better by S&P and “P-1” or better by Moody’s or (c) is
otherwise acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (ii) whose deposits are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (any such depository institution or trust company, a “Qualified
Institution”).

     (g) [Intentionally Omitted.]

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

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

     (j) Transfer of Collection Account to Citibank. If at any time CapitalSource Inc.’s
Consolidated Tangible Net Worth is less than the TNW Test Level or if a Servicer Default occurs
pursuant to Section 6.15(j), then the Servicer shall, within ten Business Days following notice
from the Administrative Agent, establish, or cause to be established, a new account with an office
or branch of Citibank, maintained in the name of the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured
Parties pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
and Citibank, which new account shall thereafter constitute the “Collection Account” hereunder for
all purposes, and the Collateral Custodian shall thereafter not be responsible for the maintenance
of, deposits to or withdrawals from such account. All of the parties hereto hereby consent to any
such transfer of the Collection Account.

          Section 6.5 Servicer Advances.

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

          Section 6.6 Realization Upon Charged-Off Assets.

     The Servicer will use reasonable efforts to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the
ownership of any Related Property relating to a Charged-Off Asset and will act as sales and
processing agent for Related Property that it repossesses. The Servicer will follow such other
practices and procedures as it deems necessary or advisable and as are customary and usual in its
servicing of contracts and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such Related
Property, which practices and

105

 

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

          Section 6.7 Maintenance of Insurance Policies.

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

          Section 6.8 Servicing Compensation.

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

106

 

          Section 6.9 Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer.

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

          Section 6.10 Reports.

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

     (b) Monthly Report. On each Reporting Date, the Servicer will provide to the Seller,
the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer and the Liquidity Banks, a monthly statement

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

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

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

     (e) Tax Returns. Upon demand by the Administrative Agent or any Liquidity Bank,

     (f) Financial Statements of Obligors. Upon demand by the Administrative Agent or any
Liquidity Bank, the Servicer will provide to such party the financial statements of any Obligor.

     (g) Other Reports. The Servicer will provide any other reports requested by the
Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Originator.

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

          Section 6.11 Annual Statement as to Compliance.

     The Servicer will provide to the Administrative Agent, within 90 days following the end of
each fiscal year of the Servicer, commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2008, a

of the Servicer, commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2008: (i) a report
relating to such fiscal year to the effect that (a) such firm has reviewed certain documents and
records relating to the servicing of the Collateral, and (b) based on such examination, such firm
is of the opinion that the Monthly Reports for such year were prepared in compliance with this
Agreement, except for such exceptions as it believes to be immaterial and such other exceptions as
will be set forth in such firm’s report and (ii) a report covering such fiscal year to the effect
that such accountants have applied certain agreed-upon procedures (which procedures shall have been
approved by the Administrative Agent) to certain documents and records relating to the Collateral
under any Transaction Document, compared the information contained in the Monthly Reports and the
Servicer’s Certificates delivered during the period covered by such report with such documents and
records and that no matters came to the attention of such accountants that caused them to believe
that such servicing was not conducted in compliance with this Article VI, except for such
exceptions as such accountants shall believe to be immaterial and such other exception as shall be
set forth in such statement.

          Section 6.13 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others

under this Agreement; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein
nothing shall protect the Servicer against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason

108

 

          Section 6.14 The Servicer Not to Resign.

the Servicer’s determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes
impermissible under Applicable Law and (ii) there is no reasonable action that the Servicer could
take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under Applicable Law. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced as to clause (i) above
by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Backup
Servicer. No such resignation shall become effective until a Successor Servicer shall have assumed
the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 6.2.

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

failure requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the Servicer by the

     (d) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in any Transaction

adverse impact on the Purchasers or the collectibility of the Assets) continues to be unremedied
for a period of 10 days after the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which written notice of such
incorrectness requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the Servicer by the
Administrative Agent and (ii) the date on which the Servicer becomes aware thereof;

     (e) an Insolvency Event shall occur with respect to the Servicer;

     (i) the failure of the Servicer to make any payment due with respect to any recourse debt or

acceleration of such recourse debt or other obligations;

     (j) CapitalSource Inc.’s Consolidated Tangible Net Worth is less than the TNW Test Level;

     (k) a payment default or other default, termination event or other similar event has occurred
and is continuing (beyond any applicable grace period) under any Other CapitalSource Facilities or

indebtedness for borrowed money, in each case, in an amount greater than $10,000,000 to or for the
benefit of CapitalSource Inc. or any of its Subsidiaries (except for those securitizations or other
facilities listed on Schedule VII, as the same may be updated from time to time as mutually agreed
by the Seller and the Administrative Agent), and at such time such event permits the lender or
holder of rights thereunder to terminate commitments, accelerate the obligations owing thereunder
or otherwise exercise remedies thereunder; provided that a Servicer Default arising as a result of
a default, termination event, margin call or other similar event with respect to a repurchase

written consent of the Administrative Agent; or

     (n) the Servicer fails (or fails to cause the related REO Asset Owner) in any material respect
to comply with the provisions herein relating to the servicing and administering of any REO Asset;

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

          Section 6.16 Appointment of Successor Servicer.

     (a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice pursuant to
Section 6.15, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this
Agreement until the date specified in the Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the
Administrative Agent in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Servicer Termination
Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent, until a date mutually agreed upon by the
Servicer and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at the time described in the
immediately preceding sentence, appoint the

110

 

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

     (b) Upon its appointment, the Backup Servicer (subject to Section 6.16(a)) or the
Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with
respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and
provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to
the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable; provided that the Backup Servicer or
Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall have (i) no liability with respect to any action performed
by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as
applicable, becomes the successor to the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any
alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any advancing
obligations, if any, of the Servicer unless it elects to in its sole discretion, (iii) no
obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer (provided that the Backup Servicer
or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall pay any income taxes for which it is liable), (iv) no
obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the transactions contemplated
hereby, and (v) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations
of any prior Servicer, including the original Servicer. The indemnification obligations of the
Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, upon becoming a Successor Servicer, are
expressly limited to those arising on account of its failure to act in good faith and with
reasonable care under the circumstances. In addition, the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer,
as applicable, shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the
Servicer contained in Article IV. Further, for so long as the Backup Servicer shall be the
Successor Servicer, the provisions of Section 2.15, Section 2.16(b) and Section
2.16(e) of this Agreement shall not apply to it in its capacity as Servicer.

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

     (d) Upon the Backup Servicer receiving notice that it is required to serve as the Servicer
hereunder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.16, the Backup Servicer
will promptly begin the transition to its role as Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Backup Servicer may, in its discretion, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, any established servicing institution as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer
hereunder. As compensation, any Successor Servicer

111

 

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

          Section 6.17 Servicing of REO Assets.

     (a) If, in the reasonable business judgment of the Servicer, it becomes necessary to convert
any Loan that is secured by a Mortgage or real property and included in the Collateral into an REO
Asset in accordance with Section 6.6, following receipt of written consent of the
Administrative Agent (which consent may be evidenced by the execution of the Administrative Agent
of any supplement to the REO Pledge Agreement with respect to any REO Asset Owner newly formed to
hold such REO Asset), the Servicer shall first cause the Seller to transfer and assign such Real
Estate Loan (or the portion thereof owned by the Seller) to a special purpose vehicle (the “REO
Asset Owner”) using a contribution agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 09-G (an
“REO Contribution Agreement”). All membership interests and any other equity of the REO Asset
Owner acquired by the Seller shall immediately become a part of the Collateral and be subject to
the grant of a security interest under Section 9.1 and the REO Pledge Agreement and shall
be promptly delivered to the Collateral Custodian, each undated and duly indorsed in blank. The
REO Asset Owner shall be formed and operated pursuant to a limited liability company operating
agreement substantially in the form as Exhibit 09-H, with any alterations thereto as
reasonably agreed to by the Servicer and the Administrative Agent. After execution thereof, the
Servicer shall prevent the REO Asset Owner from agreeing to any amendment or other modification of
the REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating agreement without first obtaining the
written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Servicer shall cause each REO Asset to be
serviced (i) in accordance with Applicable Laws, (ii) with reasonable care and diligence, (iii) in
accordance with the applicable REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating agreement,
(iv) in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and (v) with a view toward maximizing
Recoveries on such REO Asset (collectively, the “REO Servicing Standard”). The Servicer will cause
all “Distributable Cash” (as defined in each REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating
agreement) to be

112

 

deposited into the Collection Account promptly, and in any event within two Business Days of
receipt thereof. At all times prior to the “Threshold Date” (as defined in the applicable REO
Asset Owner limited liability company operating agreement), the Servicer shall not permit the REO
Asset Owner to undertake any of the activities set forth in Section 9.4(c) (or comparable section)
of such REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating agreement.

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

     (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Servicer
shall not (and shall not permit the REO Asset Owner to) obtain title to any Related Property as a
result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, obtain title to any direct or indirect
partnership interest in any Obligor pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the
beneficial owner of Related Property, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to, and shall
not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Related Property
if, as a result of any such action, the REO Asset Owner would be considered to hold title to, to be
a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of, such Related Property within
the Meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended from time to time, or any comparable state or local environmental law, unless the Servicer
has previously determined in accordance with the REO Servicing Standard, based on an updated Phase
I environmental assessment report generally prepared in accordance with the ASTM Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment Standard E 1527-05, as may be amended or, with respect to residential
property, a property inspection and title report, that:

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

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

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

perform such obligations. The Backup Servicer shall have no responsibility and shall not be in
default hereunder or incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction or any delay in

The Backup Servicer shall have no responsibility, shall not be in default and shall incur no
liability for (i) any act or failure to act of any third party, including the Servicer, (ii) any
inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication received by the Backup Servicer from any third

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

     (a) Initial Collateral Custodian. The role of collateral custodian with respect to

Collateral Custodian an electronic file (in EXCEL or a comparable format) that contains the
related Asset List or that otherwise contains the Asset identification number and the name
of the Obligor with respect to each related Asset. If, at the conclusion of such review,
the Collateral Custodian shall determine that (i) the Outstanding Asset Balances of the
Collateral it has received Required Asset Documents with respect to is less than as set
forth on the electronic file, the Collateral Custodian shall immediately notify the
Administrative Agent of such discrepancy, and (ii) any Review Criteria is not satisfied, the
Collateral Custodian shall within one Business Day notify the Servicer of such determination
and provide the Servicer with a list of the non-complying Assets and the applicable Review
Criteria that they fail to satisfy. The Servicer shall have five Business Days to correct
any non-compliance with a Review

117

 

Criteria. If after the conclusion of such time period the Servicer has still not cured
any non-compliance by an Asset with a Review Criteria, the Collateral Custodian shall
promptly notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent of such determination by providing a
written report to such persons identifying, with particularity, each Asset and each of the
applicable Review Criteria that such Asset fails to satisfy. In addition, if requested in
writing by the Servicer and approved by the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days of
the Collateral Custodian’s delivery of such report, the Collateral Custodian shall return
any Asset which fails to satisfy a Review Criteria to the Seller. Other than the foregoing,
the Collateral Custodian shall not have any responsibility for reviewing any Required Asset
Documents.

     (ii) In taking and retaining custody of the Required Asset Documents, the Collateral
Custodian shall be deemed to be acting as the agent of the Administrative Agent and the
Secured Parties; provided that the Collateral Custodian makes no representations as to the
existence, perfection or priority of any Lien on the Required Asset Documents or the
instruments therein; and provided further that, the Collateral Custodian’s duties as agent
shall be limited to those expressly contemplated herein.

     (iii) All Required Asset Document shall be kept in fire resistant vaults, rooms or

such a manner so as to permit retrieval and access. All Required Asset Documents shall be
clearly segregated from any other documents or instruments maintained by the Collateral
Custodian.

(iii) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Collateral Custodian substantially as a
whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform
every obligation of the Collateral Custodian hereunder, shall be the successor to the Collateral
Custodian under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.

          Section 8.4 Collateral Custodian Compensation.

     As compensation for its collateral custodian activities hereunder, the Collateral Custodian
shall be entitled to a Collateral Custodian Fee (the “Collateral Custodian Fee”) from the Servicer.

Custodian shall be entitled to

118

 

receive the unpaid balance of its Collateral Custodian Fee to the extent of funds available
therefor pursuant to the provision of Section 2.9(a)(4) or Section 2.10(a)(4), as

on and shall be fully protected in acting upon (a) the written instructions of any
designated officer of the Administrative Agent or (b) the verbal instructions of the
Administrative Agent.

     (ii) The Collateral Custodian may consult counsel satisfactory to it and the advice or
opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect
of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance
with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

     (iii) The Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for
any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or
law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in
the case of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its
duties and in the case of the negligent performance of its Payment Duties and in the case of
its negligent performance of its duties in taking and retaining custody of the Required
Asset Documents.

     (iv) The Collateral Custodian makes no warranty or representation and shall have no
responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) as to the content,
enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or
transferability of the Collateral, and will not be required to and will not make any
representations as to the validity or value (except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement) of any of the Collateral. The Collateral Custodian shall not be obligated to
take any legal action hereunder that might in its judgment involve any expense or liability

     The Collateral Custodian shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it
except upon the Collateral Custodian’s determination that (i) the performance of its duties
hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable Law and (ii) there is no reasonable action
that the Collateral Custodian could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder
permissible under Applicable Law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the
Collateral Custodian shall be evidenced as to clause (i) above by an Opinion of Counsel to
such effect delivered to the Administrative Agent. No such resignation shall become effective
until a successor Collateral Custodian shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of
the Collateral Custodian hereunder.

          Section 8.8 Release of Documents.

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

to release to the Servicer the related Required Asset Documents or the documents set forth in such

release of documents and receipt certifying such liquidation from the Servicer to the Collateral
Custodian in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H, the Servicer’s request and receipt

     (b) Limitation on Release. The foregoing provision respecting release to the Servicer

Any additional Required Asset Documents or documents requested to be released by the Servicer may
be released only upon written authorization of the Administrative Agent. The limitations of this
paragraph shall not apply to the release of Required Asset Documents to the Servicer pursuant to
the immediately succeeding subsection.

     (c) Release for Payment. Upon receipt by the Collateral Custodian of the Servicer’s
request for release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H (which

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

     The Collateral Custodian shall provide to the Administrative Agent access to the Required
Asset Documents and all other documentation regarding the Collateral including in such cases where

such access being afforded without charge but only (i) upon two Business Days prior written
request, (ii) during normal business hours and (iii) subject to the Servicer’s and Collateral
Custodian’s normal security and confidentiality procedures. Prior to the Closing Date and

by the Servicer with the Credit and Collection Policy, as well as with this Agreement and may
conduct an audit of the Collateral, Required Asset Documents in conjunction with such a review.

accountants or other auditors acceptable to the Administrative Agent to conduct, at the Servicer’s
expense, a review of the Required Asset Documents and all other documentation regarding the
Collateral.

          Section 8.11 Securities Intermediary.

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

     (b) The Securities Intermediary shall be, and the initial Securities Intermediary hereunder
hereby represents and warrants that it is as of the Closing Date and shall be for so long as it is
the Securities Intermediary hereunder, a corporation or national bank that in the ordinary course
of its business maintains securities accounts for others and is acting in that capacity hereunder.
The Securities Intermediary shall, and the initial Securities Intermediary does, agree with the
parties hereto that the Securities Account shall be an account to which financial assets may be
credited and undertake to treat the Collateral Custodian as entitled to exercise the rights that
comprise such financial assets. The Securities Intermediary shall, and the initial Securities
Intermediary does, agree with the parties hereto that each item of property credited to the
Securities Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” as

121

 

defined in the UCC. The Securities Intermediary shall, and the initial Securities
Intermediary does, agree and acknowledge that the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” for
purpose of the UCC of the Securities Intermediary with respect to the Collateral shall be the State
of New York. The Securities Intermediary shall, and the initial Securities Intermediary does,
represent and covenant that it is not and will not be (as long as it is the Securities Intermediary

will not take any action inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it. The
Securities Intermediary shall, and the initial Securities Intermediary does, agree that any item of

the Securities Intermediary (other than the Collateral Custodian).

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

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

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

ARTICLE IX

SECURITY INTEREST

          Section 9.1 Grant of Security Interest.

     The parties to this Agreement intend that the conveyance of the Collateral by the Seller to
the applicable Purchasers be treated as sales for all purposes (other than for the purposes
described in Section 13.19 and for accounting purposes). If, despite such intention, a
determination is made that such transactions not be treated as sales, then the parties hereto
intend that this Agreement constitute a security agreement and the transactions effected hereby
constitute secured loans by the applicable Purchasers to the Seller under Applicable Law. For such
purpose, the Seller hereby transfers, conveys, assigns and grants as of the Closing Date to the
Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, a lien and continuing security interest in
all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of the obligations under)
all Collateral (including any Hedging Agreements), whether now existing or hereafter arising or
acquired by the Seller, and wherever the same may be located, to secure the prompt, complete and
indefeasible payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or
otherwise, of the Aggregate Unpaids of the Seller arising in connection with this Agreement and
each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or
indirect, or absolute or contingent, including, without limitation, all Aggregate Unpaids. The
assignment under this Section 9.1 does not constitute and is not intended to result in a
creation or an assumption by the Administrative Agent, any Hedge Counterparty, the Purchasers or
any of the Secured Parties of any obligation of the Seller or any other Person in connection with
any or all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto. Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the Seller shall remain liable under the Collateral to
the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same
extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Administrative Agent, as
agent for the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Seller
from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral, and (c) none of the Administrative
Agent, any Hedge Counterparty, the Purchasers or any Secured Party shall have any obligations or
liability under the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent, any
Hedge Counterparty, the Purchasers or any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the
obligations or duties of the Seller thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any
claim for payment assigned hereunder.

          Section 9.2 Release of Lien on Collateral.

     At the same time as (i) any Collateral expires by its terms and all amounts in respect thereof
have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account, (ii) any
Asset becomes a Prepaid Asset and all amounts in respect thereof have been paid in full by the
related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account, (iii) such Asset is replaced in accordance
with Section 2.18, sold in accordance with Section 2.19 or involved in a
Refinancing in accordance with Section 2.22, or (iv) this agreement terminates in
accordance with Section 13.6, the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties
will, to the extent requested by the Servicer, release its interest in such Collateral. In
connection with any sale of such Related Property, the Administrative Agent as agent for the
Secured Parties will after the deposit by the Servicer of the Proceeds of such sale into the
Collection Account, at the sole expense of the Servicer, execute and deliver to the Servicer any
assignments, bills of sale, termination statements and any other releases and instruments as the
Servicer may reasonably request in order to effect the release and transfer of such Related
Property; provided that the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties will make no
representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such Related Property in
connection with such sale or transfer and assignment. Nothing in this section
shall diminish the Servicer’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.6 with respect to the
Proceeds of any such sale.

123

 

          Section 9.3 Further Assurances.

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

          Section 9.4 Remedies.

     Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties shall
have, with respect to the Collateral granted pursuant to Section 9.1, and in addition to
all other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties under this
Agreement or other Applicable Law, all rights and remedies set forth in Section 10.2.

          Section 9.5 Waiver of Certain Laws.

     Each of the Seller and the Servicer agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree,
that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take
advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in
force in any locality where any Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the
enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any
part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such
sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each of the Seller and the Servicer, for itself and all who
may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful
so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or
assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Administrative
Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this
Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such parcels as the Administrative Agent or
such court may determine.

          Section 9.6 Power of Attorney.

     Each of the Seller and the Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent its
true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at is
expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this
Agreement, including without limitation the following powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts
or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of
the Collateral in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to
execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other
instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Seller and the Servicer
hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do
hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (d) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in
connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document or Hedging Agreement. Nevertheless, if so
requested by the Administrative Agent, the Seller shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other
disposition by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent or such purchaser all proper
bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such
request.

(ii) perfected a timely appeal of such judgment, decree or order and caused the execution of same
to be stayed during the pendency of the appeal or (2) the failure of the Originator or the Seller
to make any payments due of amounts in excess of $10,000,000 by the Originator, or $500,000 by the
Seller, in the settlement of any litigation, claim or dispute (excluding payments made from
insurance proceeds); or

     (v) as of any Determination Date, the Pool Yield does not equal or exceed the Minimum Pool
Yield and the same continues unremedied by the following Determination Date; or

     (w) on any day an Equity Shortfall exists and continues unremedied for two Business Days; or

     (x) the occurrence of a “Purchase Termination Event” under the Sale Agreement; or

     (y) as of the Final Maturity Date, the Collection Date has not yet occurred; or

     (z) not later than seven Business Days of receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to Section 5.1(r) or 5.4(o) above, the Administrative Agent provides written notice
to the Seller that, in its sole reasonable judgment, an amendment, modification, waiver, extension,
replacement or other modification to a Wachovia Facility results in a Core Transaction Term
thereunder being more favorable than a similar term under the Agreement, and such more favorable
term is not included in an amendment to this Agreement to implement such more favorable term within
five Business Days of such notice.

          Section 10.2 Remedies.

               Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, no Advances will thereafter be made, and the
Administrative Agent may, and at the request of Liquidity Banks holding at least 66 2/3% of the
Commitments then in effect shall, by notice to the Seller, declare the Termination Date to have
occurred (provided, that, upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 10.1(h),
the Termination Date shall occur automatically without request from, or notice to, any Person) and
the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall have, in addition to all other rights and
remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of
each applicable jurisdiction and other Applicable Laws, which rights shall be cumulative, and also
may require the Seller and Servicer to, and the Seller and Servicer hereby agree that they will at
the Servicer’s expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent forthwith, (i) assemble all or
any part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make the same available to
the Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by the Administrative Agent and (ii) without
notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at
a public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on
credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem
commercially reasonable. The Seller agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by
law, at least ten days’ notice to the Seller of the time and place of any public sale or the time
after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The
Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of
sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time
to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further
notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. All cash Proceeds received by
the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale

127

 

of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral (after payment of any amounts incurred in connection with such
sale) shall be deposited into the Collection Account and to be applied against all or any part of
the Aggregate Unpaids pursuant to Section 2.10 or otherwise in such order as the
Administrative Agent shall elect in its discretion.

ARTICLE XI

INDEMNIFICATION

          Section 11.1 Indemnities by the Seller.

     (a) Without limiting any other rights that any such Person may have hereunder or under
Applicable Law, the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Backup
Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Secured Parties, the Affected Parties and each of their
respective assigns, Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents thereof
(collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all
damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively
referred to as the “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by such Indemnified Party and
other non-monetary damages of any such Indemnified Party or any of them arising out of or as a

Asset included in the Collateral, excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent
resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party or (b)
Indemnified Amounts that have the effect of recourse for non-payment of the Assets included in the
Collateral due to credit problems of the Obligors (except as otherwise specifically provided in
this Agreement). If the Seller has made any indemnity payment pursuant to this Section
11.1 and such payment fully indemnified the recipient thereof and the recipient thereafter
collects any payments from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts then, the recipient shall
repay to the Seller an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such
indemnified amounts. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller shall indemnify each Indemnified
Party for Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:

     (i) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Seller, the Servicer (if
the Originator or one of its Affiliates is the Servicer) or any of their respective officers
relating to the eligibility or qualification of any Asset, which shall have been false or
incorrect in any respect when made or deemed made or delivered;

     (ii) any other representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Seller, the
Servicer (if the Originator or one of its Affiliates is the Servicer) or any of their

deemed made or delivered;

Affiliates is the Servicer) to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this
Agreement or any agreement executed in connection with this Agreement, or with any
Applicable Law, with respect to any Collateral or the nonconformity of any Collateral with
any such Applicable Law;

     (iv) the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Administrative Agent, as agent for
the Secured Parties, an undivided ownership interest in the Collateral, together with all
Collections, free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) whether existing at the
time of any Advance or at any time thereafter;

128

 

     (v) the failure to maintain, as of the close of business on each Business Day prior to
the Termination Date an amount of Advances Outstanding that is less than or equal to the
lesser of (x) the Facility Amount and (y) the Maximum Availability on such Business Day;

     (vi) the failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing statements, continuation
statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable

     (vii) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than the discharge in bankruptcy of
the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment with respect to any Collateral (including,
without limitation, a defense based on the Collateral not being a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any
other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or services related to such
Collateral or the furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services;

     (viii) any failure of the Seller or the Servicer (if the Originator or one of its
Affiliates is the Servicer) to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a
party or any failure by the Originator, the Seller or any Affiliate thereof to perform its
respective duties under any Collateral;

     (ix) the failure of any Lock-Box Bank to remit any amounts held in a Lock-Box Account
pursuant to the instructions of the Servicer or the Administrative Agent (to the extent such
Person is entitled to give such instructions in accordance with the terms hereof and of any
applicable Lock-Box Agreement) whether by reason of the exercise of set-off rights or
otherwise;

     (x) any inability to obtain any judgment in, or utilize the court or other adjudication
system of, any state in which an Obligor may be located as a result of the failure of the
Seller or the Originator to qualify to do business or file any notice or business activity
report or any similar report;

     (xi) any action taken by the Seller or the Servicer in the enforcement or collection of
any Collateral;

     (xii) any products liability claim or personal injury or property damage suit or other
similar or related claim or action of whatever sort arising out of or in connection with the
Related Property or services that are the subject of any Collateral;

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

     (xiv) the failure by Seller to pay when due any Taxes for which the Seller is liable,
including without limitation, sales, excise or personal property taxes payable in connection
with the Collateral;

     (xv) any repayment by the Administrative Agent or a Secured Party of any amount
previously distributed in reduction of Advances Outstanding, or payment of Interest or any
other amount due hereunder or under any Hedging Agreement, in each case which amount the
Administrative Agent or a Secured Party believes in good faith is required to be repaid;

129

 

     (xvi) the commingling of Collections on the Collateral at any time with other funds,
unless permitted hereunder;

     (xvii) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or the use

     (xviii) any failure by the Seller to give reasonably equivalent value to the Originator
in consideration for the transfer by the Originator to the Seller of any item of Collateral

provision of the Bankruptcy Code;

     (xix) the use of the proceeds of any Advance in a manner other than as provided in this
Agreement and the Sale Agreement;

     (xx) the failure of the Seller, the Originator or any of their respective agents or
representatives to remit to the Servicer or the Administrative Agent, Collections on the

representative; or

     (xxi) the failure by the Seller to comply with any of the covenants relating to any
Hedging Agreement in accordance with the Transaction Documents.

     (b) Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 11.1 shall
be paid by the Seller to the Indemnified Party within five Business Days following such Person’s
demand therefor.

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

     (d) The obligations of the Seller under this Section 11.1 shall survive the
resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer or the
Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

          Section 11.2 Indemnities by the Servicer.

     (a) Without limiting any other rights that any such Person may have hereunder or under
Applicable Law, the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party, forthwith on
demand, from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred by any such
Indemnified Party by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions of the Servicer,
including, but not limited to (i) any representation or warranty made by the Servicer under or in
connection with any Transaction Document, any Monthly Report, Servicer’s Certificate or any other
information or report delivered by or on behalf of the Servicer pursuant hereto, which shall have
been false, incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made, (ii) the
failure by the Servicer to comply with any Applicable Law, (iii) the failure of the Servicer to
comply with its duties or obligations in accordance with the Agreement, (iv) the failure by the
Servicer to comply with any of the covenants relating to any Hedging Agreement in accordance with
the Transaction Documents, or (v) any litigation,

130

 

proceedings or investigation against the Servicer. The provisions of this indemnity shall run
directly to and be enforceable by an injured party subject to the limitations hereof.

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

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

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

     (e) Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall not be payable from the

          Section 11.3 After-Tax Basis.

Indemnified Party.

ARTICLE XII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

          Section 12.1 The Administrative Agent.

     (a) Each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent
and bailee for purposes of perfection pursuant to the applicable UCC or other Applicable Law and
hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents and bailees to act
on its behalf and for the benefit of each Secured Party. Each Secured Party further authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by
the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In
furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby
appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and
documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or
appropriate or that a Secured Party may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more
fully evidence the security interests granted by the Seller hereunder, or to enable any of them to
exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the
execution by the Administrative Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation
statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Collateral
now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or
appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. The Purchasers may direct the Administrative
Agent to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are
incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent hereunder, the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall
be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining
from acting) upon the direction of the Liquidity Banks; provided that the Administrative Agent
shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the

131

 

taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, shall be
in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose
the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. In the event the Administrative
Agent requests the consent of a Purchaser or a Liquidity Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions
and the Administrative Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such
Person within ten Business Days of such Person’s receipt of such request, then such Purchaser or
Liquidity Bank shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant actions.

     (b) The Administrative Agent shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
person’s own affairs. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities,
except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with the Purchasers or
Liquidity Banks, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities on the part of the Administrative Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document or otherwise exist for the Administrative Agent. In performing its functions
and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the Administrative Agent shall act
solely as agent for the Purchasers and Liquidity Banks and does not assume nor shall be deemed to
have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Seller or any of its
successors or assigns.

     (c) Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of
its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of
the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal
counsel (including counsel for the Seller or the Originator), independent public accountants and
other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in
good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes
no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to
ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the Seller,
the Originator, or the Servicer or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the
Seller, the Originator, or the Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible for the due execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the
other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or
thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent,
certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telex) believed by it to be genuine and
signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

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

     (e) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each Liquidity Bank agrees to
indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller or the Servicer),
ratably in

132

 

accordance with its Commitment (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, then ratably
according to the respective amounts of the sum of (x) the aggregate Advances Outstanding funded by
it plus (y) the additional Advances it may be required to fund under the applicable Liquidity
Agreement) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which
may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to
or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or
omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder; provided that none of the Liquidity
Banks shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Liquidity
Bank agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its Commitment (or,
if the Commitments have been terminated, then ratably according to the respective amounts of the
sum of (x) the aggregate Advances Outstanding funded by it plus (y) the additional Advances it may
be required to fund under the applicable Liquidity Agreement) promptly upon demand for any
out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection
with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations,
legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under,
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is
not reimbursed for such expenses by the Seller or the Servicer.

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

     (g) Payments by the Administrative Agent. All amounts received by the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Purchasers shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the applicable
Purchasers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, on the Business Day received by the
Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such Business Day, in
which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to the
applicable Purchasers on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such
Purchasers not later than the following Business Day.

     (h) Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties
under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of
counsel concerning

133

 

all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for
the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable
care.

     (i) Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges
that neither the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs
of the Seller, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative
Agent. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that it has and will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of
the Seller and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents
or any Hedging Agreement, as the case may be.

     (j) Administrative Agent and its Affiliates. The Administrative Agent and any of its
Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business
with the Seller, Originator or Servicer or any Affiliate of the foregoing as though the
Administrative Agent was not the Administrative Agent. With respect to the Advances made pursuant
to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates shall have the same rights
and powers under this Agreement as any Liquidity Bank and may exercise the same as though it were
not the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE XIII

Section 11.1) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Purchaser, such
Purchaser agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion
of the Aggregate Unpaids held by the other Purchasers so that after such purchase each Purchaser
will hold its ratable proportion of the Aggregate Unpaids; provided that if all or any portion of
such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded
and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

being expressly agreed and understood that the agreements
of the Administrative Agent, the Seller, the Servicer, the Originator or any Secured Party
contained in this Agreement and all of the other agreements, instruments and documents entered into
by it pursuant hereto or in connection herewith are, in each case, solely the corporate or limited
liability company obligations of the Administrative Agent, the Seller, the Servicer, the Originator

Action Evidencing Advances.

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

     (b) The Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and
deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Advances hereunder and
the security interest granted in the Collateral, or to enable the Administrative Agent or the
Secured Parties to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder or under any
Transaction Document.

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

Collateral. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

     (d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller will, not earlier than six months
and not later than three months prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of filing of the

shall have occurred:

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

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

          Section 13.13 Confidentiality

     (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties, the Servicer, the Collateral

Affiliates, the Seller and the Servicer hereto, and their respective businesses obtained by it or
them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated
herein or related to any of the underlying Obligors, except that each such party and its officers

itself, reducing its liability, or protecting or exercising any of its claims, rights, remedies, or
interests under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents or any Hedging Agreement.
It is understood that the financial terms that may not be disclosed except in compliance with this
Section 13.13(a) include, without limitation, all fees and other pricing terms, and all

     (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller and the Servicer each hereby
consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it (i) to the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Backup Servicer or the Secured Parties by each
other, (ii) by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Backup Servicer and the
Secured Parties to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any of them provided such
Person agrees to hold such information confidential, (iii) by the Administrative Agent and the
Secured Parties to any commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guaranty or credit or

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

     (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to
prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known; (ii)
disclosure of any and all information (a) if required to do so by any applicable statute, law, rule
or regulation, (b) to any government agency or regulatory body having or claiming authority to
regulate or oversee any respects of the Administrative Agents’, the Secured Parties’, the
Collateral Custodian’s, the Backup Servicer’s, the Seller, the Servicer or the Originator business
or that of their affiliates, (c) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar
demand or request of any court, regulatory authority, arbitrator or arbitration to which the
Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties, the Collateral Custodian, the Backup

139

 

Servicer, the Seller, the Servicer or the Originator or an officer, director, employer,
shareholder or affiliate of any of the foregoing is a party, (d) in any preliminary or final
offering circular, registration statement or contract or other document approved in advance by the
Seller, the Servicer or the Originator or (e) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor,
agent, employee or attorney of the Collateral Custodian or Backup Servicer having a need to know
the same, provided that the Collateral Custodian or Backup Servicer advises such recipient of the
confidential nature of the information being disclosed; or (iii) any other disclosure authorized in
writing by the Seller, Servicer or Originator.

     (d) Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in any other Transaction Document, each
Purchaser and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that the Seller, the Originator and the
Servicer (and each employee, representative or other agent of each such party) may disclose to any
and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of
the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

          Section 13.14 Execution in Counterparts; Severability; Integration.

     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto
in separate counterparts (including by facsimile or by electronic mail in portable document format
(pdf)), each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. In case any provision in or obligation
under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or
obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This
Agreement and the Transaction Documents contains the final and complete integration of all prior
expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute
the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof,
superseding all prior oral or written understandings delivered by the Originator to the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties.

          Section 13.15 Waiver of Set-off.

     (a) The Seller, the Servicer and the Originator each hereby waives any right of setoff it may
have or to which it may be entitled under this Agreement from time to time against the
Administrative Agent, each Purchaser, its Affiliates or its respective assets.

     (b) Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 13.3, the Administrative Agent and
each Purchaser is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have) at any time after
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event to set-off, appropriate and apply
(without presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any
deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser to,
or for the respective account of, the Seller, the Servicer or the Originator against any amount
owing by the Seller, the Servicer or the Originator, respectively, to such Person or to the
Administrative Agent on behalf of such Person (even if contingent or unmatured). For the avoidance
of doubt, the right of setoff set forth in this Section 13.15(b) does not permit setoff of deposits
and indebtedness held or owing by one Person to or for the account of a second Person against
amounts owing by any Person other than such second Person.

          Section 13.16 Assignments.

     (a) This Agreement and each Issuer’s rights and obligations herein (including ownership of
each Asset) shall be assignable by the Issuers and their successors and assigns to any Eligible
Assignee (including, without limitation, pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement); provided that
concurrently with any such assignment, such Issuer assigns to such Eligible Assignee a
corresponding portion of its rights and

140

 

obligations under the 2007-A Facility. Each assigning Issuer shall notify the Administrative
Agent and the Seller of any such assignment.

     (b) Each Liquidity Bank may assign to any Eligible Assignee or to any other Liquidity Bank all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all
or a portion of its Commitment and any Assets or interests therein owned by it); provided, however,
that

     (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all
rights and obligations under this Agreement,

     (ii) the amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the
date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to such assignment) shall in no
event be less than the lesser of (x) $25,000,000 and (y) all of the assigning Purchaser’s
Commitment,

     (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $2,500,

     (iv) with respect to any Liquidity Bank, concurrently with such assignment, such
assignor Liquidity Bank shall assign to such assignee Liquidity Bank or other Eligible
Assignee an equal percentage of its rights and obligations under the Liquidity Agreement
(or, if such assignor Liquidity Bank is Citibank, it shall arrange for such assignee
Liquidity Bank or other Eligible Assignee to become a party to the Liquidity Agreement for a
maximum principal amount equal to the assignee’s Commitment),

     (v) concurrently with any such assignment, such Liquidity Bank assigns to such Eligible
Assignee or such other Liquidity Bank, as applicable, a corresponding portion of its rights
and obligations under the 2007-A Facility, and

     (vi) Citibank may not assign any portion of its Commitment to the extent that it
reduces such Commitment below 50% of the Facility Amount.

     Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date
specified in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party
to this Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a
Liquidity Bank hereunder and (y) the assigning Purchaser shall, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance
Agreement, relinquish such rights and be released from such obligations under this Agreement (and,
in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an
assigning Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Purchaser shall cease to be
a party hereto).

     (c) With respect to the Liquidity Banks, the Administrative Agent shall maintain at its
address referred to in Section 13.2 of this Agreement a copy of each Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the
names and addresses of the Liquidity Banks and the Commitment of, and aggregate outstanding
principal of Advances owned by, each Liquidity Bank from time to time (the “Register”). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error,
and the Seller, the Originator, the Administrative Agent and the Liquidity Banks may treat each
person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Liquidity Bank under this Agreement for all
purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available

141

 

for inspection by the Seller or any Liquidity Bank at any reasonable time and from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement
executed by an assigning Liquidity Bank and an Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent shall,
if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give
prompt notice thereof to the Seller.

     (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 13.16, any Liquidity Bank may
at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including,
without limitation, rights to payment of interest and principal) under this Agreement or under any
Liquidity Agreement to secure obligations of such Liquidity Bank to a Federal Reserve Bank, without
notice to or consent of the Seller or the Administrative Agent; provided that no such pledge or
grant of a security interest shall release a Liquidity Bank from any of its obligations hereunder
or under the Liquidity Agreement, as the case may be, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for
such Liquidity Bank as a party hereto or to the Liquidity Agreement, as the case may be, and
provided, further that concurrently with any such pledge, such Liquidity Bank pledges a
corresponding portion of its rights and obligations under the 2007-A Facility.

     (e) Each Liquidity Bank 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, without
limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances owned by it); provided,
however, that

     (i) such Liquidity Bank’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, its Commitment to the Seller hereunder) shall remain unchanged,

     (ii) such Liquidity Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this
Agreement for the performance of such obligations,

     (iii) concurrently with such participation, the selling Liquidity Bank shall sell to
such bank or other entity a participation in an equal percentage of its rights and
obligations under the Liquidity Agreement; and

     (iv) concurrently with such participation, such Liquidity Bank sell to such participant
a corresponding participation under the 2007-A Facility.

     The Administrative Agent, the Purchasers, other Liquidity Banks and the Seller shall have the
right to continue to deal solely and directly with such Liquidity Bank in connection with such
Person’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

     (f) This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent herein shall be
assignable by the Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns; provided,
however, that the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not assign such rights and
obligations to any Person other than an Affiliate of Citibank unless:

     (i) in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent
determines that continued service by it (or its Affiliate) as Administrative Agent hereunder
would be inconsistent with, or otherwise disadvantageous under, applicable legal, tax or
regulatory restrictions, in which case the Administrative Agent shall notify the Seller of
such determination and consult with the Seller regarding the selection of an assignee; or

     (ii) there shall have occurred any Termination Event, which shall be continuing; or

142

 

     (iii) the Seller shall have consented to such assignment (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed).

     (g) The Seller may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein, or
permit any Lien (other than any Permitted Lien) to exist upon, any of the Seller’s rights,
obligations or duties under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and each Hedge Counterparty.

     (h) Each of the Purchasers and any Eligible Assignee that becomes a party to this Agreement
shall be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed as follows:

     (1) Such Person is either (i) a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of
Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), who is also
a Qualified Purchaser (as defined in the 1940 Act), acquiring the Variable Funding
Certificate for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of whom is a qualified
institutional buyer who is also a Qualified Purchaser, or (ii) an institutional
“accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act who is also
a Qualified Purchaser.

     (2) The Variable Funding Certificate may not be reoffered, resold, pledged or
otherwise transferred except to a Qualified Purchaser. Such Person understands that the
Variable Funding Certificate may not at any time be held by or on behalf of a Person that
is not a Qualified Purchaser. No sale, pledge or other transfer of the Variable Funding
Certificate (or any interest therein) may be made if such transfer would have the effect
of requiring the Seller to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act.

          Section 13.17 Heading and Exhibits.

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

          Section 13.18 Loans Subject to Retained Interest Provisions.

     (a) With respect to any Loan included in the Collateral subject to the Retained Interest
provisions of this Agreement, the Seller will own only the principal portion of such Loans
outstanding as of the applicable Cut-Off Date. Collections from the Obligor on such Revolving Loan
will be allocated (x) first, to the portion of such Revolving Loan owned by any of the Originator,
its Affiliate special purpose entities under any revolving warehouse facility involving the
Originator or one of its Affiliates, any co-lenders under such facilities or revolving warehouse
facility involving the Originator or one of its Affiliates, and then (y) second, to the portion of
such Revolving Loan owned by such entity under a term transaction; provided that if (i) a payment
default occurs, or an event of default occurs (without waiver) with respect to any of the related
Loans, or an Insolvency Event with respect to the related Obligor, (ii) the Servicer has determined
that the creditworthiness of the Obligor under such related Loan has deteriorated such that it
materially and adversely affects the value of such related Loan or has reduced in a material manner
the likelihood of repayment in full thereunder, (iii) the Originator has determined in its sole
discretion to reduce or terminate its commitment to an Obligor, (iv) a Termination Event or
Unmatured Termination Event occurs, (v) an Allocation Adjustment Event occurs, or (vi) a Liquidity
Factor Reduction Event shall have occurred and be continuing, then at such time and all times
thereafter, Collections received on (A) the applicable Loan (in the case of clause (i), (ii) or
(iii) above or during the time that a Liquidity Factor Reduction Event shall have occurred and be
continuing in the case of

143

 

clause (vi) above) or (B) all the Revolving Loans (in the case of
clause (iv) or (v) above) will be allocated between the portion owned by the Originator, its Affiliate special purpose entities under
the warehouse or term facilities then outstanding and the portion owned by the Seller, pro rata
based upon the outstanding principal amount of each such portion.

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

          Section 13.19 Tax Treatment of Advances.

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

          Section 13.20 Acknowledgement.

     Each of the parties hereto (except the Backup Servicer and the Collateral Custodian)
acknowledges and agrees that the 2009 Restructuring and this amendment and restatement shall not in
any way adversely affect any sales, transfers, assignments or security interest grants effected
pursuant to the Agreement, and each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the 2009
Restructuring and this amendment and restatement shall not in any way adversely affect any
representations, warranties, covenants or indemnities made by the Seller, the Servicer, the Backup
Servicer or the Collateral Custodian with respect to such sales, transfers, assignments or security
interest grants or any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers with
respect thereto. Each of the parties hereto confirms all sales, transfers, assignments and security
interests effected pursuant to the Agreement prior to the New Effective Date. Any action taken by
any party on or prior to the New Effective Date as expressly required by the 2009 Restructuring
shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to cause a Termination Event.

          Section 13.21 Appointment of Successor Agent.

     (a) Pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.1(f), the Original Agent resigns as
administrative agent under the Original Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, effective as

The Purchasers and the Seller appoint CNAI as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents effective as of such date and agree to waive the notice period set
forth in Section 12.1(f).

     (b) In connection with the agency succession described in the foregoing Section
13.20(a), and effective as of the date set forth in Section 13.20(a) and without the
need for further action (except as expressly set forth below), (i) the Administrative Agent shall
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as
administrative agent under the Transaction Documents, (ii) the Original Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations as administrative agent under the Transaction Documents, (iii) all
provisions of this Agreement set forth in Article XII and Sections 11.1 and 11.2 hereof shall
continue in effect for the Original Agent while it was acting as administrative agent under the

any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Original Agent while Original Agent served as

144

 

administrative agent under the Transaction Documents, (v) each of Original Agent, Seller,
Servicer, Originator and the Purchasers authorizes the Administrative Agent to file any Uniform
Commercial Code financing statements, assignments or amendments that the Administrative Agent deems
necessary or desirable to evidence the Administrative Agent’s succession as administrative agent
under the Transaction Documents, and (vi) each of Original Agent, Seller, Servicer and Originator
agrees, upon the reasonable request of Administrative Agent, to take such additional actions and to
execute and deliver such other documents and instruments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request to effect the Administrative Agent’s succession as administrative agent under the
Transaction Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Original Agent hereby
assigns to the Administrative Agent, without warranty, recourse or representation, all of the
Original Agent’s right, title and interest and all liens and security interests in and on the
Collateral, all of which the Seller and Originator affirms shall remain in full force and effect;
and the Original Agent acknowledges and agrees that, after giving effect to such assignment to the
Administrative Agent, the Original Agent shall no longer have any right, title and interest or any
liens and security interest in and on the Collateral.
