Interest on the Advances; PIK Interest.

(i) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders interest on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances of each Tranche for the period from and including the respective dates of such Advances to but excluding the respective dates such Advances are paid in full, in each case at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Interest Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders interest at the applicable Post-Default Rate (i) on the outstanding principal amount of any Advances during any period when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) on any interest or amount (other than principal of any Advance) payable by the Borrowers hereunder or under any applicable Note that shall not be paid in full when due, for the period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full. Accrued and unpaid interest on each Advance shall be payable monthly on each Payment Date and on the Tranche A Termination Date, Tranche B Termination Date or Tranche C Termination Date, as applicable, except that interest payable at the applicable Post-Default Rate shall accrue daily and shall be payable promptly upon demand. The Borrowers shall pay interest in cash to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on Tranche A to the extent of all cash available to the Borrowers in the Collection Account or otherwise.

(ii) Anything contained in Section 2.04(a)(i) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, has elected as of the Effective Date, and each Lender has consented thereto, to pay the accrued and unpaid interest due in respect of the Tranche B Advances and the Tranche C Advances from and after such date by adding the amount thereof to the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B Advances and Tranche C Advances, as

applicable, and may further elect solely to the extent that the Borrowers do not have cash collections to pay accrued interest on Tranche A Advances by adding the amount thereof to the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Advances (any such interest in respect of the Tranche B Advances, the Tranche C Advances and the Tranche A Advances that is so added to the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B Advances, Tranche C Advances or Tranche A Advances, as applicable, being “PIK Interest”). Upon request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers will execute and deliver to each Lender an additional Tranche B Note, Tranche C Note, or Tranche A Note, as applicable, for the amount of such PIK Interest or a replacement Tranche B Note, Tranche C Note, or Tranche A Note, as applicable, in a face amount equal to the then outstanding principal sum, plus the amount of such PIK Interest; provided, however, the failure of the Administrative Agent to request that the Borrowers execute, or the failure of the Borrowers to provide, any such additional Tranche B Note, Tranche C Note, or Tranche A Note as applicable, shall in no way affect the Borrowers obligations to pay any such PIK Interest at the time and in the manner of other Tranche B Advances, Tranche C Advances, and Tranche A Advances.

(c) Payment Date Reports. No later than two (2) Business Days prior to each Payment Date, the Administrative Agent shall provide to the Borrower Representative a report stating (i) the amount of interest due for the current Interest Period pursuant to Section 2.04(a), separately stated for the applicable Tranche A Advances, the Tranche B Advances, if applicable, and the Tranche C Advances, if applicable, and (ii) if such Payment Date occurs on a Termination Date, the aggregate outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A Advances, Tranche B Advances and Tranche C Advances, as applicable; provided, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to make any such report shall not affect the obligations of the Borrowers to make payment when due of any amount owing hereunder or under any Note in respect of the related Advances.

(d) Distributions on Payment Dates. Without in any way limiting the obligations of the Borrowers to make the payments of interest and principal that are required to be made in respect of the Advances pursuant to Sections 2.04(a) and 2.04(b) (with respect to any Payment Date, the “Required Payments”), the Borrowers hereby authorize and direct the Administrative Agent, on each Payment Date, to apply all Collections received from and after the immediately preceding Payment Date to but excluding such Payment Date (the aggregate amount of such Collections, after deducting any Reserves, shall be referred to as the “Applicable Collections Amount” in respect of

such Payment Date) in the following order of priority:

second, to pay any costs, expenses, fees, charges or indemnities due any Lender under the terms of this Agreement or any Loan Document;

seventh, to pay any Obligations (other than payments constituting additional periodic payments of interest payable under item “third” above) under any Interest Rate Hedge Agreement to any Lender in full;

eighth, to the cash payment of interest on the Tranche B-1 Advances as calculated for such Payment Date;

ninth, to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B-1 Advances, including any PIK Interest that has been added to such principal amount until the same are paid in full;

fourteenth, to any obligations secured by any Collateral then remaining; and

fifteenth, to the Borrower Representative for the benefit of the Borrowers.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, all payments, dividends and distributions in respect of, and the net proceeds from any disposition, of the Participant Trust Certificates shall be applied solely to the Pro Rata Share of each Lender (other than Huntington and HF) in respect of the Advances. Further, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, all recoveries and distributions from, and the net proceeds of the WMC Claims, net of costs attributable to the collection of such recoveries and distributions, shall be applied as follows: 82.5895% to M&I’s Advances, and 17.4105% to Huntington’s and HF’s Advances.

Section 2.05 Mandatory Prepayments. Within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of any Mandatory Prepayment Event, the Borrowers shall prepay the Advances in an aggregate amount equal to the Net Proceeds of such Mandatory Prepayment Event, any such prepayment to be applied to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Advances.

Section 2.06 Breakage. If the Borrowers make any prepayment of the Advances on a day that is not a Payment Date, the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender and hold each Lender harmless from and against any actual loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur arising from (i) the re-employment of funds obtained by such Lenders to maintain the portion of such Lender’s Advances so prepaid or (ii) fees payable to terminate the arrangements from which such funds were obtained, in either case which actual loss or expense shall be equal to the excess, as determined by the such Lender, of (x) its cost of obtaining funds for such portion of such Lender’s Advances for the period from the date of such prepayment through the following Payment Date over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds not utilized by reason of such prepayment for such period.

(b) Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, as a surety and as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with each other Borrower, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section 2.11), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several Obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them.

(c) If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any Obligation as and when due or to perform any Obligation in accordance with the terms thereof, then, in each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation, as applicable.

(d) The Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.11 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each such Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets,

irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.

Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any Obligation, the acceptance of any payment of any Obligation, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time or times in respect of any Default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of any Obligation, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any Obligation or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.11 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section 2.11, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of such Borrower under this Section 2.11 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.11 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, constitution or place of formation of the other Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Each Borrower hereby covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of each other Borrower’s financial condition, the financial condition of any guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.

(g) The provisions of this Section 2.11 are made for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by any of them from time to time against any or all Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any or their respective successors or assigns first to marshal any claims or to exercise any rights against any other Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available against any other Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.11 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon any insolvency proceeding of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.11 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

(h) Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against any other Borrower with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in full. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency proceeding relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower therefor.

(i) Each Borrower hereby agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the payment of any amounts due with respect to the Indebtedness owing by any Borrower to any other Borrower is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, such Borrower will not demand, ▇▇▇ for or otherwise attempt to collect any Indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to such Borrower until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash.

In addition to any rights and remedies of each Lender and the Administrative Agent provided by this Agreement and by law, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all Property and deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, Indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of the Administrative Agent or such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. Each Lender may set-off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of any Collateral and all other sums or obligations owed by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of their Affiliates to any Borrower against all of Borrowers’ obligations to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any of their Affiliates, whether under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or under any other agreement between the parties or between any Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or otherwise, without prejudice to the Administrative Agent’s, any Lender’s or any of their Affiliate’s right to recover any deficiency. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to notify such Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or the Administrative Agent; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. All amounts set off pursuant to this Section 10.16 shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.04(d) or Section 9.01(d), as applicable.

Article XI. The Administrative Agent.

Section 11.01 Appointment; Nature of Relationship. Huntington is hereby appointed by each of the Lenders as its contractual representative (referred to as the “Administrative Agent”) under this Agreement and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent in this Agreement to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Section 11.01. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent acknowledges, solely in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, that (i) it is a “representative” of the Lenders within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code, and (ii) it is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to the Administrative Agent, Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents, (c) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the Collections of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) open and maintain such bank accounts as the Administrative Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with respect to the Collateral and the Collections of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, (e) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lenders with respect to the Borrowers, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (f) incur and pay such expenses as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent agrees, in its capacities as administrator under the Administration Agreement and as Administrative Agent hereunder, without the consent of the Required Lenders, it will not (i) take any action to amend or consent or agree to amend the New Trust Trust Agreement or (ii) direct New Trust to take any action, in each instance, that adversely affects, in

any material respect, any right of any Lender under any Loan Document, other than as expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement.

Section 11.02 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, or attorneys-in-fact, shall be liable to any Lender for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection herewith or in connection with any of the other Loan Documents (except to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the such Person) or responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations, or warranties made by any of the Borrowers contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial statement, or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection herewith, or in connection with the other Loan Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency therefor of any of the other Loan Documents, or for any failure of a Borrower to perform its obligations under this Agreement or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility, or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or for any representations, warranties, recitals, or statements made herein or therein or made by any Borrower in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates, or any other documents in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders or by or on behalf of the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants, or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Advances or of the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent is not a trustee for the Lenders and owes no fiduciary duty to the Lenders. Each Lender recognizes and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to determine independently whether the conditions described in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 have been satisfied and, when the Administrative Agent disburses funds to the Borrowers, it may rely fully upon statements contained in the relevant requests by the Borrowers.

Section 11.03 Reliance on Communications. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability of relying upon, any Note, notice, consent, request, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex, electronic mail message, statement, instrument, paper, document, or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting, or other distribution) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Sections 5.01 and 5.02, each Lender that has signed this Agreement or has become a party hereto pursuant to the terms of Section 12 hereof shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to, approved by, or acceptable or satisfactory to, a Lender, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the applicable date specifying its objection thereto.

Section 11.04 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, and to the extent any conduct is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any such agents or attorneys-in-fact. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to the advice of legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals selected by the Administrative Agent concerning the contractual arrangement between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to the Administrative Agent’s duties under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document. The Borrowers and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates, and that any such Affiliate that performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver, and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Section 10.03.

Section 11.05 The Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Administrative Agent may incur and pay expenses to the extent the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, attorneys fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not the Borrowers are obligated to reimburse the Administrative Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to the Credit Agreement or otherwise. The Administrative Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from the Collections of each Borrower and any Subsidiary of a Borrower received by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Administrative Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to any Lender or any other Person. In the event the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses from the Collections of the Borrowers their Subsidiaries received by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent for their Pro Rata Share of (i) any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), and (iii) any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents; provided, that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction

to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent and (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 2.06 shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.05, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.05 shall survive payment of the Advances and termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.06 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or to the extent specifically required, all the Lenders) and such request and any action or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binging upon all the Lenders (including their successors and assigns and any Participants).

Section 11.07 Rights as a Lender. If the Administrative Agent is also a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Advances as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 11.08 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Except for any notice, report, document or other information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility (either initially or on a continuing basis) to provide any Lender with any notice, report, document, credit information or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent (regardless of whether in its capacity as Administrative Agent) or any of its Affiliates.

Section 11.09 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon 30 days prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon such receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States of America. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 11.09 and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as the Administrative Agent.

Section 11.10 Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its account, the Administrative Agent Fees on the Effective Date and on each anniversary thereof, pursuant to this Agreement or as otherwise agreed from time to time.

Section 11.11 Execution of Collateral Documents. The Lenders hereby empower and authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrowers on their behalf the Loan Documents and all related financing statements and any financing statements, agreements, documents, or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 11.12 Collateral. (a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by the Borrowers of all Obligations, (ii) constituting property in which no Borrower owned any

interest at the time Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, (iii) constituting property leased to any Borrower or a Subsidiary of a Borrower under a lease that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, (iv) constituting property that a Borrower has authorization to Transfer under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (v) constituting property for which such release shall otherwise have been approved by the Required Lenders. Upon request by the Administrative Agent or any Borrower at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.12; provided, however, that (1) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair any Obligation of any Borrower or any Lien (other than a Lien expressly being released) upon any interest retained by any Borrower, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender agrees that the Administrative Agent, at any time upon the written request of Huntington, may release the REIT Shares as collateral security for the Advances in reduction or satisfaction of any such Advances held by Huntington or any Affiliate thereof.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrowers or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that Liens of the Administrative Agent have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given the Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders, and that the Administrative Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein.

Section 11.13 Agency for Perfection. The Administrative Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting the Administrative Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

Article XII. Participations and Assignments.

Section 12.01 Permitted Participants; Effect.

(a) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Advance owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents, subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent unless such sale is to an Eligible Assignee. Such participation shall be in writing and a copy thereof shall be provided promptly to the Administrative Agent. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Advances and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification, or waiver with respect to any Advance or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest that would require consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 10.04.

(c) Benefit of Certain Provisions. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off provided in Section 10.16 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of set-off provided in Section 10.16 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of set-off provided in Section 10.16, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 2.04 (d) or Section 9.01, as applicable, as if each Participant were a Lender. The Borrower further agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.03, 2.07, 3.02, 3.03 and 9.01 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.02, provided that (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment other than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower, and (ii) any Participant not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 3.03 to the same extent as if it were a Lender.

(d) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless

the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

Section 12.02 Assignments.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement except (i) to an assignee in accordance with Section 12.02(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with Section 12.01, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 12.02(e) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, participants to the extent provided in Section 12.01 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Secured Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

1) Minimum Amounts.

i) in the case of any assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender no minimum amount need be assigned; and

Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

2) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advance or the Commitment assigned.

3) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section 12.02 and, in addition:

i) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or is in connection with merger or consolidation of a Lender or a Transfer by Lender of one or more of its loan portfolios; and

ii) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) an unfunded or revolving credit facility if such assignment is to a person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such facility or an Affiliate of such Lender with respect to such Lender or (ii) a funded term facility to a Person who is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender.

4) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in form prescribed by the Administrative Agent.

5) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

6) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

(c) Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of an assignment, together with any consents required by Section 12.02(b), and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Administrative Agent for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by the Administrative Agent), such assignment shall become effective on the assignment effective date specified in such assignment. The assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Advances under the applicable assignment agreement constitutes “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and

interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the assignment effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and the transferor Lender shall be released with respect to the Commitment and Advances assigned to such Purchaser without any further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent. In the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender under this Agreement but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to, those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that survive payment of the Advances and termination of the applicable agreement. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.02 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.01. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.02, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Advances be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

(d) Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain at one of its offices in Columbus, Ohio a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of that Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release that Lender from any of its obligations under this Agreement or substitute any such pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party to this Agreement; provided, however that such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted by applicable law.

Section 12.03 Dissemination of Information. Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any

and all documents and information in such Lender’s possession relating to the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries; provided, that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 10.19 of this Agreement.

Section 12.04 Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.03 of this Agreement.
