ARTICLE I.

THE CREDIT

Section 1.1 The Facility.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Borrower (or the Servicer on Borrower’s behalf) may from time to time during the Revolving Period request Advances by delivering a Borrowing Request to the Co-Agents in accordance with Section 2.1. Upon receipt of a copy of each Borrowing Request from Borrower, each of the Co-Agents shall determine whether its Conduit will fund a Loan in an amount equal to its Group’s Percentage of the requested Advance specified in such Borrowing Request, and

(i) in the event that Gotham fails to make any such Loan to Borrower pursuant to Gotham’s Commitment, the Gotham Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and, unless Borrower cancels its Borrowing Request, each of the Liquidity Banks of Gotham severally agrees to make its Ratable Share of such

Loan to Borrower, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, provided that at no time may the aggregate principal amount of Gotham’s and the Gotham Liquidity Banks’ Loans at any one time outstanding exceed the lesser of (A) the Gotham Group’s Group Limit, and (B) Gotham’s Percentage of the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount, the “Gotham Allocation Limit”);

(ii) in the event that PARCO elects not to make any such Loan to Borrower, the PARCO Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and, unless Borrower cancels its Borrowing Request, each of the PARCO Liquidity Banks severally agrees to make its Ratable Share of such Loan to Borrower, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, provided that at no time may the aggregate principal amount of PARCO’s and the PARCO Liquidity Banks’ Loans at any one time outstanding exceed the lesser of (A) the PARCO Group’s Group Limit, and (B) PARCO’s Percentage of the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount, the “PARCO Allocation Limit”);

(iii) in the event that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ elects not to make any such Loan to Borrower, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and, unless Borrower cancels its Borrowing Request, each of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Liquidity Banks severally agrees to make its Ratable Share of such Loan to Borrower, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, provided that at no time may the aggregate principal amount of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Liquidity Banks’ Loans at any one time outstanding exceed the lesser of (i) the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group’s Group Limit, and (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Percentage of the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount, the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Allocation Limit”); and

(iv) in the event that CAFCO elects not to make any such Loan to Borrower, the CAFCO Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and, unless Borrower cancels its Borrowing Request, each of the CAFCO Liquidity Banks severally agrees to make its Ratable Share of such Loan to Borrower, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, provided that at no time may the aggregate principal amount of CAFCO’s and the CAFCO Liquidity Banks’ Loans at any one time outstanding exceed the lesser of (i) the CAFCO Group’s Group Limit, and (ii) CAFCO’s Percentage of the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount, the “CAFCO Allocation Limit”);

provided, however, that during the Term Period for any Group, the Conduit in such Group shall not make any Loans hereunder. Each Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 or a larger integral multiple of $500,000. In no event may the aggregate principal amount of the Advances hereunder exceed the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Commitment, or (y) the Borrowing Base. Each Liquidity Bank’s Commitment under this Agreement shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date. Each of the Loans, and all other Obligations of Borrower, shall be secured by the Collateral as provided in Article IX.

(b) At least two Business Days prior to the Cash Secured Advance Commencement Date for any Group, the Borrower shall notify the Co-Agent for such Group if the Borrower wishes the Liquidity Banks in such Group to make the advances described in this Section 1.1(b).

Following such notice, on the Cash Secured Advance Commencement Date for such Group, each Liquidity Bank in such Group shall, and severally agrees to, make an advance to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars in an amount equal to the excess of (i) such Liquidity Bank’s Commitment over (ii) the outstanding Principal of all Loans of such Liquidity Bank (after giving effect to any Loan made by such Liquidity Bank on or prior to such Cash Secured Advance Commencement Date pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement to which it is a party and after giving effect to any Loan or portion thereof which such Liquidity Bank acquires from its Conduit on such date pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement to which it is a party or pursuant to Section 1.1(c) below) on the Term-Out Lender Funding Date for such Group, and such Liquidity Bank shall make such advance by causing an amount equal to such advance to be deposited in same day funds into the Collateral Advance Account.

(c) At least two Business Days prior to the Cash Secured Advance Commencement Date for any Group, the Borrower shall notify the Co-Agent for such Group if the Borrower wishes the purchase described in this Section 1.1(c) to occur. Following such notice, on the Cash Secured Advance Commencement Date for such Group, each Liquidity Bank in such Group shall, and severally agrees to, purchase from the Conduit in its Group such Liquidity Bank’s Ratable Share of all Loans of such Conduit for a purchase price equal to the sum of such Liquidity Bank’s Ratable Share of the Principal of such Loans plus accrued and unpaid Interest and fees thereon. Such purchase price shall be payable in immediately available funds on the Cash Secured Advance Commencement Date for such Group. The assigning Conduit shall notify the Administrative Agent, its Co-Agent and the Borrower of any such purchase. No further documentation of such purchase shall be required for the effectiveness thereof, provided that if requested by any purchasing Liquidity Bank, the assigning Conduit (or its administrator) will execute and deliver an assignment to such Liquidity Bank in such form as may be mutually agreed between such Conduit and such Liquidity Bank.

Section 1.2 Funding Mechanics; Liquidity Fundings.

(a) Each Advance hereunder shall consist of Loans made by (i) Gotham and/or its Liquidity Banks, (ii) PARCO and/or its Liquidity Banks, (iii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and/or its Liquidity Banks, and/or (iv) CAFCO and/or its Liquidity Banks and which (except for any Advance which does not increase the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding) shall be made in such proportions by each Group such that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans outstanding from each Group shall be in proportion to such Group’s Percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Advances then outstanding hereunder. Any Advance which does not increase the aggregate principal amount outstanding may be funded solely by one or more of the members of a single Group.

(b) Each Lender funding any portion of an Advance shall wire transfer the principal amount of its Loan to its applicable Co-Agent in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Borrowing Date and, subject to its receipt of such Loan proceeds, such Co-Agent shall wire transfer such funds to the account specified by Borrower in its Borrowing Request not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Borrowing Date.

(c) While it is the intent of each of the Conduits to fund its respective Loans through the issuance of Promissory Notes, the parties acknowledge that if any of the Conduits is unable, or reasonably determines that it is undesirable for any reason to issue Promissory Notes to fund or maintain all or any portion of its Loans at a CP Rate, or is unable to repay such Promissory Notes upon the maturity thereof, such Conduit will avail itself of a Liquidity Funding under its Liquidity Agreement. The Liquidity Fundings may be Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, or a combination thereof, selected by Borrower in accordance with Article II; provided, however, that each Liquidity Funding shall be an Alternate Base Rate Loan at least for the first two (2) Business Days after it is funded. In addition, the parties acknowledge that most Promissory Notes are issued at a discount and at varying discount rates; accordingly, it may not be possible for all CP Rate Loans to be made in amounts precisely equal to the amounts specified in a Borrowing Request. Regardless of whether a Liquidity Funding constitutes an assignment of a Loan or the sale of one or more participations therein or any other obtaining of funding for all or any portion of any Loan, each Liquidity Bank participating in a Liquidity Funding shall have the same rights as its Conduit has hereunder with the same force and effect as if such Liquidity Bank had directly made a Loan to Borrower in the amount of its Liquidity Funding.

(d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to commit any Lender to make CP Rate Loans.

Section 1.3 Interest Rates.

(a) Each CP Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the CP Tranche Period applicable thereto selected in accordance with Article II of this Agreement to (but not including) the last day of such CP Tranche Period at the applicable CP Rate. On the 5th Business Day immediately preceding each Settlement Date, each Pool Funded Conduit shall calculate the amount of its CP Costs for the applicable Calculation Period and the Gotham Agent shall calculate Gotham’s CP Rate and each shall notify Borrower of such amount which shall be payable on such Settlement Date.

(b) Each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto selected in accordance with Article II of this Agreement to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the applicable LIBOR for such Interest Period.

(c) Each Alternate Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Loan is made to but excluding the date it is paid at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on Alternate Base Rate Loans will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 1.3(a), (b) or (c), upon the occurrence of an Amortization Event, and during the continuance thereof, all Obligations shall bear interest, payable upon demand, at the Default Rate.

(e) Each Cash Secured Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof which remains on deposit in a Collateral Advance Account for each day from

and including the date such Cash Secured Advance is made to but excluding the date it is paid or removed from the Collateral Advance Account at a rate per annum equal to the Unused Fee (under and as defined in the applicable Group’s Fee Letter) which amount shall be payable in lieu of the Unused Fee.

(f) Interest shall be payable for the day a Loan is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received by each Co-Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on a Loan shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

Section 1.4 Payment Dates; Absence of Notes to Evidence Loans.

(a) Borrower promises to pay the principal of each CP Rate Loan on the last day of its CP Tranche Period.

(b) Borrower promises to pay the principal of each LIBOR Loan on the last day of its Interest Period.

(c) Borrower promises to pay the principal of each Alternate Base Rate Loan on or before the earlier to occur of (i) the Commitment Termination Date, and (ii) the refinancing of such Loan with a CP Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan.

(d) Borrower promises to pay to each Term-Out Lender the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Term-Out Lender’s Cash Secured Advance on the Commitment Termination Date; provided, however, that recourse for such repayment shall be from, and shall be limited to, the Term-Out Lender Collateral and the Collections of the Receivables in accordance with Article III.

(e) Borrower promises to pay all accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan and each Cash Secured Advance on each applicable Settlement Date.

(f) Each Lender shall maintain (or cause its respective Co-Agent to maintain) in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. Upon request of Borrower, such Lender’s Co-Agent or the Administrative Agent, such Lender will confirm the outstanding principal balances of its Loans and the amount of any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to this Section shall absent manifest error be correct evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender (or Co-Agent) to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

Section 1.5 Prepayments. Subject, in the case of CP Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, to the funding indemnification provisions of Section 4.3:

(a) Borrower may from time to time voluntarily prepay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Advances, or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 per Group (or a larger integral multiple of $1,000,000 per Group), any portion of the outstanding Advances by giving prior written notice to the Co-Agents (each, a “Prepayment Notice”): (i) given within the Required Notice Period with respect to each Pool Funded Conduit’s Loans so prepaid and (ii) providing for such prepayment to occur on the last day of the CP Tranche Period with respect to Gotham’s CP Rate Loans so prepaid; provided that each such prepayment of principal complying with the provisions of this section or otherwise is accompanied by a payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid, together with all amounts (if any) due under Section 4.3 and any Broken Funding Costs (if any) due because of such prepayment, and is made between the Conduits in such proportions so that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans outstanding from each Conduit shall be in proportion to such Conduit’s Percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Advances then outstanding hereunder. The Co-Agents agree to use their best efforts to accommodate any request by Borrower to prepay any portion of the outstanding Advances in any manner other than as required herein to minimize any Broken Funding Costs associated with such prepayment.

(b) If, on any Business Day, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans from the Gotham Group exceeds the Gotham Allocation Limit, or the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding from Gotham exceeds the Gotham Liquidity Banks’ aggregate Liquidity Commitments pursuant to the Gotham Liquidity Agreement divided by 102%, Borrower shall prepay such Loans by wire transfer to the Gotham Agent received not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day thereafter of an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid.

(c) If, on any Business Day, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans from the PARCO Group exceeds the PARCO Allocation Limit, or the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding from PARCO exceeds the PARCO Liquidity Banks’ aggregate Liquidity Commitments pursuant to the PARCO Liquidity Agreement divided by 102%, Borrower shall prepay such Loans by wire transfer to the PARCO Agent received not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day thereafter of an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid.

(d) If, on any Business Day, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans from the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group exceeds the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Allocation Limit, or the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ exceeds the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Liquidity Banks’ aggregate Liquidity Commitments pursuant to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Liquidity Agreement divided by 102%, Borrower shall prepay such Loans by wire transfer to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Agent received not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day thereafter of an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid.

(e) If, on any Business Day, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans from the CAFCO Group exceeds the CAFCO Allocation Limit, or the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding from CAFCO exceeds the CAFCO Liquidity Banks’ aggregate Liquidity Commitments pursuant to the CAFCO Liquidity Agreement divided by 102%, Borrower shall prepay such Loans by wire transfer to the CAFCO Agent received not later than

1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day thereafter of an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid.

(f) Upon receipt of any wire transfer pursuant to Section 1.5(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), the applicable Co-Agent shall wire transfer to each of its Constituent Lenders their respective shares thereof not later than 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when received. Any prepayment required pursuant to Section 1.5(b), (c), (d) or (e) shall be applied first, to the ratable reduction of the applicable Group’s Alternate Base Rate Loans outstanding, second, to the ratable reduction of the applicable Group’s LIBOR Loans outstanding, and lastly, to the reduction of the applicable Group’s CP Rate Loans selected by Borrower (or the Servicer, on Borrower’s behalf).

Section 1.6 Reductions in Aggregate Commitment. Borrower may permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment in whole, or ratably among the Groups in part, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 per Group (or a larger integral multiple of $1,000,000 per Group), upon at least fifteen (15) Business Days’ written notice to the Co-Agents (each, a “Commitment Reduction Notice”), which notice shall specify the aggregate amount of any such reduction and each Group’s respective Percentage thereof, provided, however, that (a) the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances, and (b) the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below $250,000,000 unless the Aggregate Commitment is terminated in full. All accrued and unpaid fees, including Broken Funding Costs, if any, shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitment. Each Commitment Reduction Notice shall be irrevocable once delivered to the Co-Agents.

Section 1.7 Distribution of Certain Notices; Notification of Interest Rates. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Gotham Agent will notify the Gotham Group, the PARCO Agent will notify the PARCO Group, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Agent will notify the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group and the CAFCO Agent will notify the CAFCO Group of the contents of each Monthly Report, Borrowing Request, Commitment Reduction Notice, Prepayment Notice, or notice of default received by it from Borrower or the Servicer hereunder. In addition, each of the Co-Agents shall promptly notify its Constituent Lenders and Borrower of each determination of and change in Interest Rates and of any decision by the Liquidity Banks in its Group not to extend their Liquidity Termination Date.

Section 1.8 Collateral Advance Accounts.

(a) On or prior to the Cash Secured Advance Commencement Date for any Group, the Servicer, for the benefit of the Liquidity Banks in each Group, shall establish and maintain or cause to be established and maintained in the name of the Borrower with an Eligible Institution which shall initially be each of the Co-Agents (or, in the case of the CAFCO Group, Citibank), an account (each such account being a “Collateral Advance Account” and each such institution holding such an account being a “Collateral Advance Account Bank”), such account bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Liquidity Banks in such Group and entitled “[Name of applicable Co-Agent], as Co-Agent—Collateral Advance Account for the Red Bird Credit and Security Agreement.” Each Collateral Advance Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the applicable Co-

Agent for the benefit of the Liquidity Banks in its Group which have made Cash Secured Advances, and neither the Borrower, nor any Person claiming by, through or under the Borrower, shall have any right, title or interest in, or any right to withdraw any amount from, such Collateral Advance Account. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Collateral Advance Account Bank shall have any right of set-off or banker’s lien against, and no right to otherwise deduct from, any funds held in the Collateral Advance Account established with it for any amount owed to it by any Lender, any Agent or any Loan Party. The tax identification no. associated with each Collateral Advance Account shall be that of the Borrower.

(b) Each Co-Agent will, and will require its Group’s Collateral Advance Account Bank to, comply with (i) all written instructions directing disposition of the funds in its Collateral Advance Account, (ii) all notifications and entitlement orders that such Co-Agent or Collateral Advance Account Bank receives directing it to transfer or redeem any financial asset in its Collateral Advance Account, and (iii) all other directions concerning its Collateral Advance Account, including, without limitation, directions to distribute to the applicable Co-Agent proceeds of any such transfer or redemption or interest or dividends on property in its Collateral Advance Account (any such instruction, notification or direction referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above being a “Collateral Advance Account Direction”), in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above originated by the relevant Co-Agent (except as otherwise specified in subsection (d) of this Section 1.8).

(c) Funds on deposit in each Collateral Advance Account shall, at the written direction of the Borrower, be invested by the applicable Co-Agent in Eligible Investments as instructed by the Borrower in writing (which may be a standing instruction). All such Eligible Investments shall be held in the applicable Collateral Advance Account by the applicable Co-Agent for the ratable benefit of the Liquidity Banks in its Group which have made Cash Secured Advances. Such funds shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that funds will be available in amounts sufficient for the applicable Co-Agent to make each distribution as and when required under the terms of this Agreement. All interest and other investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) received on funds on deposit in each Collateral Advance Account, to the extent such investment income is not needed to pay the relevant Co-Agents for the ratable benefit of the Term-Out Lenders in its Group under the terms of this Agreement, shall be added to such Collateral Advance Account.

(d) If, at any time, any Collateral Advance Account Bank ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the Borrower, upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof, shall, within five Business Days from obtaining such knowledge or, if earlier, from notice to such effect by any Agent, (i) establish a new Collateral Advance Account meeting the conditions specified above with an Eligible Institution, and (ii) transfer any cash and/or any financial assets held in the old Collateral Advance Account to such new Collateral Advance Account, respectively. From the date such new Collateral Advance Account is established, it shall be a “Collateral Advance Account” hereunder and for all purposes hereof.

Section 1.9 Use of Proceeds; Security Interest in Collateral Advance Account.

(a) The Borrower hereby agrees that it shall use the proceeds of each Cash Secured Advance solely to fund and maintain the Collateral Advance Account of the applicable

Group for the purpose of funding Loans from such Group from time to time during the Term Period.

(b) The Borrower hereby grants to each Co-Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Term-Out Lenders in its Group, a security interest in the following (collectively, the “Term-Out Lender Collateral”):

(i) the Collateral Advance Account maintained by such Co-Agent, all funds from time to time credited to such Collateral Advance Account, all financial assets (including, without limitation, Eligible Investments) from time to time acquired with any such funds or otherwise credited to the Collateral Advance Account, all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other investment property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such funds or such financial assets, and

(ii) all proceeds of, collateral for, and supporting obligations relating to any and all of the Term-Out Lender Collateral.

(c) The grant of a security interest by the Borrower to each of the Co-Agents for the ratable benefit of the Term-Out Lenders in its Group pursuant to Section 1.9(b) above secures the payment of the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Cash Secured Advance from such Group, and to pay interest thereon in accordance wit this Agreement.

(d) On the Commitment Termination Date for any Group as to which the Term Period has occurred, the applicable Co-Agent shall (i) convert the Term-Out Lender Collateral that does not constitute cash into cash proceeds and (ii) pay to the Co-Agent for each such Group at such Co-Agent’s Account for the ratable account of the Term-Out Lenders in its Group, on behalf of the Borrower, such Group’s ratable portion of the Term-Out Lender Collateral (it being understood that all the Term-Out Lender Collateral shall then constitute cash or cash proceeds), and such Co-Agent shall distribute the funds so paid to its Co-Agent’s Account to the Banks in its Group, ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of their respective Cash Secured Advances, for application, first to the repayment of the outstanding principal amounts of the Cash Secured Advances and, second, to the payment of unpaid accrued interest on the Cash Secured Advances (to the extent such funds are available therefor). Any remaining outstanding principal amount of, and/or unpaid accrued interest on, the Cash Secured Advances shall be paid from the Collections of the Receivables pursuant to Article III.

Section 1.10 Collateral Advance Account Control Agreements and Collection Account Agreements. Without limiting Section 10.1 or 10.3, the Servicer hereby agrees that it will reimburse each of the Agents on demand for any payments or obligations that such Agent may incur pursuant to any indemnity provided by such Agent under any control agreement applicable to a Collateral Advance Account or any Collection Account Agreement.

ARTICLE II.

BORROWING AND PAYMENT MECHANICS; CERTAIN COMPUTATIONS

Section 2.1 Method of Borrowing. Borrower (or the Servicer, on Borrower’s behalf) shall give the Co-Agents irrevocable notice in the form of Exhibit II hereto (each, a “Borrowing Request”) not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day before the Borrowing Date of each Advance. On each Borrowing Date, each applicable Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans in immediately available funds to its Co-Agent by wire transfer of such amount received not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time). Subject to its receipt of such wire transfers, each Co-Agent will wire transfer the funds so received from its Constituent Lenders to Borrower at the account specified in its Borrowing Request not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Borrowing Date. Unless each of the Co-Agents in its sole discretion shall otherwise agree, not more than one (1) Borrowing Date shall occur in any calendar week.

Section 2.2 Selection of CP Tranche Periods and Interest Periods.

(a) Except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event and subject to Section 2.2(b) and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, Section 2.2(c): (i) Borrower (or the Servicer, on Borrower’s behalf) in its Borrowing Request may request CP Tranche Periods from time to time to apply to Gotham’s CP Rate Loans; provided, however, that no CP Tranche Period of Gotham may extend beyond the Gotham Group’s Liquidity Termination Date, and (ii) Borrower (or the Servicer, on Borrower’s behalf) in its Borrowing Request may request Interest Periods from time to time to apply to the LIBOR Loans; provided, however, that (x) at any time while any Liquidity Bank has LIBOR Loans outstanding, at least one Interest Period of such Liquidity Bank shall mature on each Settlement Date and (y) no Interest Period of any Liquidity Bank which began prior to its Liquidity Termination Date shall extend beyond such Liquidity Termination Date.

(b) While the Gotham Agent will use reasonable efforts to accommodate Borrower’s or the Servicer’s requests for CP Tranche Periods except during the continuance of an Amortization Event, the Gotham Agent shall have the right to subdivide any requested CP Rate Loan into one or more CP Rate Loans of different CP Tranche Periods, or, if the requested period is not feasible, to suggest an alternative CP Tranche Period. While each of the Co-Agents will use reasonable efforts to accommodate Borrower’s or the Servicer’s requests for Interest Periods for LIBOR Loans except during the continuance of an Amortization Event, each of the Co-Agents shall have the right to subdivide any requested LIBOR Loan into one or more LIBOR Loans with different Interest Periods, or, if the requested period is not feasible, to suggest an alternative Interest Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, not less than $1,000,000 of principal may be allocated to any CP Tranche Period of the Conduits or Interest Period of any Liquidity Funding, and no Alternate Base Rate Loan may have a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.

(c) Borrower (or the Servicer, on Borrower’s behalf) may not request an Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan unless it shall have given each of the applicable Co-Agent(s) written notice of its desire therefor not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the first day of the desired Interest Period. Accordingly, all Liquidity Fundings shall initially be Alternate Base Rate Loans.

(d) Unless each of the Co-Agents shall have received written notice by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to the last day of a CP Tranche Period that Borrower intends to reduce the aggregate principal amount of the CP Rate Loans outstanding, each of the Co-Agents and the Conduits shall be entitled to assume that Borrower desires to refinance the principal and interest of each maturing CP Rate Loan on the last day of its CP Tranche Period with new CP Rate Loans having substantially similar CP Tranche Periods; provided, however, that Borrower shall remain liable to pay in cash any portion of the principal or interest on the maturing CP Rate Loan when due to the extent that the applicable Conduit cannot issue Promissory Notes or avail itself of a Liquidity Funding, in either case, in the precise amount necessary to refinance the maturing CP Rate Loan and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

(e) Unless each of the Co-Agents shall have received written notice by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third (3^rd) Business Day prior to the last day of an Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Loan that Borrower intends to reduce the aggregate principal amount of LIBOR Loans outstanding from the Liquidity Banks, each of the PARCO Liquidity Banks and the CAFCO Liquidity Banks shall be entitled to assume that Borrower desires to refinance its maturing LIBOR Loans on the last day of such Interest Period with Alternate Base Rate Loans, and each of the Gotham Liquidity Banks and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Liquidity Banks shall be entitled to assume that Borrower desires to refinance its maturing LIBOR Loans on the last day of such Interest Period with LIBOR Loans for the same Interest Period then ending to the extent of the applicable Liquidity Banks’ ability to provide the funding without the customary three (3) Business Days notice or, otherwise, with Alternate Base Rate Loans.

Section 2.3 Computation of Concentration Limits and Outstanding Balance. The Obligor Concentration Limits and the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Receivables of each Obligor and its Affiliated Obligors (if any) shall be calculated as if each such Obligor and its Affiliated Obligors were one Obligor.

Section 2.4 Maximum Interest Rate. No provision of this Agreement shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the Maximum Rate which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 2.5 Payments and Computations, Etc.

(a) Payments. All amounts to be paid or deposited by Borrower or the Servicer (on Borrower’s behalf) to any of the Agents or Lenders (other than amounts payable under Section 4.2) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds received not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in lawful money of the United States of America to the applicable Co-Agent at its address specified in Schedule 14.2, and, to the extent such payment is for the account of any Lender, the applicable Co-Agent shall promptly disburse such funds to the appropriate Lender(s) in its Group.

(b) Late Payments. To the extent permitted by law, upon demand, Borrower or the Servicer (on Borrower’s behalf), as applicable, shall pay to the applicable Co-Agent for the account of each Person in its Group to whom payment of any Obligation is due, interest on all amounts not paid or deposited by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due (without taking into account any applicable grace period) at the Default Rate.

(c) Method of Computation. All computations of interest at the Alternate Base Rate or the Default Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 (or, when appropriate, 366) days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed. All other computations of interest, and all computations of Servicer’s Fee, any per annum fees payable under Section 4.1 and any other per annum fees payable by Borrower to the Lenders, the Servicer or any of the Agents under the Loan Documents shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed.

(d) Avoidance or Rescission of Payments. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no payment of any Obligation shall be considered to have been paid if at any time such payment is rescinded or must be returned for any reason.

Section 2.6 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Co-Agents. Unless a Lender notifies its Co-Agent prior to the date and time on which it is scheduled to fund a Loan that it does not intend to fund such Loan, such Co-Agent may assume that such funding will be made and may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such Loan available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender has not in fact funded its Loan proceeds to the applicable Co-Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by such Co-Agent, repay to such Co-Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by such Co-Agent until the date such Co-Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day.

ARTICLE III.

SETTLEMENTS

Section 3.1 Monthly Reporting. Not later than the Monthly Reporting Date in each calendar month hereafter, the Servicer shall deliver to each of the Co-Agents, a Monthly Report accompanied by an electronic file in a form reasonably satisfactory to each of the Co-Agents; provided, however, that if an Unmatured Amortization Event or an Amortization Event shall

exist and be continuing, each of the Co-Agents may request that a computation of the Borrowing Base also be made on a date that is not a Monthly Reporting Date and, so long as such request is not made on or within 5 Business Days prior to the last day of any calendar month, the Servicer agrees to provide such computation within 5 Business Days after such request. At or before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day before each Settlement Date, each of the Co-Agents shall notify Borrower and the Servicer of (i) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans that are then outstanding from its Constituents, and (ii) the aggregate amount of all principal, interest and fees that will be due and payable by Borrower to such Co-Agent for the account of such Co-Agent or its Constituents on such Settlement Date.

Section 3.2 Turnover of Collections. Without limiting any Agent’s or Lender’s recourse to Borrower for payment of any and all Obligations:

(a) If any Monthly Report reveals that a mandatory prepayment is required under Section 1.5(b), (c), (d), (e) or (f), not later than the 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Settlement Date, the Servicer shall turn over to each applicable Co-Agent, for distribution to its Constituents, a portion of the Collections equal to the amount of such required mandatory prepayment.

(b) If, on any Settlement Date, any Loans are to be voluntarily prepaid in accordance with Section 1.5(a), or if the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding is to be reduced, the Servicer shall turn over to each of the Co-Agents, for distribution to its Constituents, a portion of the Collections equal to the Groups’ respective Percentages of the aggregate amount of such voluntary prepayment or reduction and any other amounts required to be paid in connection with such voluntary prepayment or reduction.

(c) In addition to, but without duplication of, the foregoing, on (i) each Settlement Date, (ii) on each Business Day from and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event and during the continuation thereof, and (iii) each other date on which any principal of or interest on any of the Loans becomes due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, in the case of principal, has not been reborrowed pursuant to Section 1.1, the Servicer shall turn over to each of the Co-Agents, for distribution to their respective Constituents, the Groups’ respective Percentages of a portion of the Collections equal to the aggregate amount of all other Obligations that are due and owing on such date. If the Collections and proceeds of new Loans are insufficient to make all payments required under clauses (a), (b) and (c) and to pay the Servicer’s Fees and, if applicable, all expenses due and owing to any replacement Servicer under Section 8.1(d) (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Required Amounts”) and Borrower has made any Demand Advances, Borrower shall make demand upon International Paper for payment of the Demand Advances in an amount equal to the lesser of the Required Amounts or the aggregate outstanding principal balance of such Demand Advances (plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) and, upon receipt of any such amounts, Borrower shall pay them to each of the Co-Agents, ratably in accordance with their respective Groups’ Percentages, for distribution in accordance with this Section 3.2.

(d) If the aggregate amount of Collections and payments on Demand Advances received by the Co-Agents on any Settlement Date are insufficient to pay all Required Amounts,

the aggregate amount received shall be applied to the items specified in the subclauses below, in the order of priority of such subclauses:

(i) to any accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans that is then due and owing, including any previously accrued interest which was not paid on its applicable due date;

(ii) if the Servicer is not Borrower or an Affiliate thereof, to any accrued and unpaid Servicer’s Fee that is then due and owing to such Servicer, together with any invoiced expenses of the Servicer due and owing pursuant to Section 8.1(d);

(iii) to the Facility Fee and the Usage Fee accrued during such Settlement Period, plus any previously accrued Facility Fee and Usage Fee not paid on a prior Settlement Date;

(iv) to the payment of the principal of any Loans that are then due and owing;

(v) to other Obligations that are then due and owing; and

(vi) if the Servicer is Borrower, International Paper or one of their respective Affiliates, to the accrued and unpaid Servicer’s Fee and Supplemental Servicer’s Fee that are then due and owing to such Servicer.

(e) In addition to, but without duplication of, the foregoing, on (i) each Settlement Date and (ii) each other date on which any principal of or interest on any of the Loans becomes due (whether by acceleration or otherwise), the Servicer shall turn over to each of the Co-Agents, for distribution to the Lenders, a portion of the Collections equal to the aggregate amount of all Obligations that are due and owing on such date.

Section 3.3 Non-Distribution of Servicer’s Fee. Each of the Agents and the other Secured Parties hereby consents to the retention by the Servicer of a portion of the Collections equal to the Servicer’s Fee so long as the Collections received by the Servicer are sufficient to pay all amounts pursuant to Section 3.2(d) of a higher priority as specified in such Section.

Section 3.4 Deemed Collections. If as of the last day of any Settlement Period:

(a) the outstanding aggregate balance of the Net Pool Balance as reflected in the preceding Monthly Report (net of any positive adjustments) has been reduced for any of the following reasons:

(i) as a result of any rejected services, any cash discount or any other adjustment by the Originator or any Affiliate thereof (regardless of whether the same is treated by the Originator or such Affiliate as a write-off), or as a result of any surcharge or other governmental or regulatory action, or

(ii) as a result of any setoff or breach of the underlying agreement in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated transaction), or

(iii) on account of the obligation of the Originator or any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or

(iv) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is less than the amount included in calculating the Net Pool Balance for purposes of any Monthly Report (for any reason other than such Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable), or

(b) any of the representations or warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 6.1(i), (j), (l), (q)(ii), (r), (s) or (t) was not true when made with respect to any Receivable, or any of the representations or warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 6.1(i) or (j) is no longer true with respect to any Receivable,

then, in such event, Borrower shall be deemed to have received a Collection in an amount equal to (A) the amount of such reduction, cancellation or overstatement, in the case of the preceding clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iii) and (a)(iv), and (B) in the full amount of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable in the case of the preceding clause (b).

ARTICLE IV.

FEES AND YIELD PROTECTION

Section 4.1 Fees. International Paper or Borrower, as applicable, shall pay to each of the Agents and the Lenders certain fees from time to time in amounts and payable on such dates as are set forth in the Fee Letters.

Section 4.2 Yield Protection.

(a) If any Regulatory Change occurring after the date hereof:

(i) shall subject an Affected Party to any Tax (other than Excluded Taxes), duty or other charge with respect to its Obligations or, as applicable, its Commitment or its Liquidity Commitment, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to the Affected Party of any Obligations, owed to or funded in whole or in part by it or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Obligations or, as applicable, its Commitment or its Liquidity Commitment; or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve that was not included in the computation of the applicable Interest Rate, or any special deposit or similar requirement against assets of any Affected Party, deposits or obligations with or for the account of any Affected Party or with or for the account of any affiliate (or entity deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be an affiliate) of any Affected Party, or credit extended by any Affected Party; or

(iii) shall affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Affected Party; or

(iv) shall impose any other condition affecting any Obligation owned or funded in whole or in part by any Affected Party, or its rights or obligations, if any, to make Loans or Liquidity Fundings; or

(v) shall change the rate for, or the manner in which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or a successor thereto) assesses deposit insurance premiums or similar charges;

and the result of any of the foregoing is or would be:

(x) to increase the cost to or to impose a cost on (I) an Affected Party funding or making or maintaining (or providing or agreeing to provide funding for) any Loan, any Liquidity Funding, or any commitment of such Affected Party with respect to any of the foregoing, or (II) any of the Agents for continuing its or Borrower’s relationship with any Affected Party, in each case, in an amount deemed to be material by such Affected Party,

(y) to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement or under the Liquidity Agreement, or

(z) to reduce the rate of return on such Affected Party’s capital as a consequence of its Commitment, its Liquidity Commitment or the Loans made by it to a level below that which such Affected Party could have achieved but for the occurrence of such circumstances,

then, within thirty days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be made not more than 45 days after the date on which the Affected Party becomes aware of such Regulatory Change and shall be accompanied by a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of such demand and the methodology for calculating, and the calculation of the amounts claimed by the Affected Party), Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such actual additional cost, actual increased cost or actual reduction.

(b) Each Affected Party will promptly notify Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Co-Agent of any event of which it has knowledge (including any future event that, in the judgment of such Affected Party, is reasonably certain to occur) which will entitle such Affected Party to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.2; provided, however, no failure to give or delay in giving such notification shall adversely affect the rights of any Affected Party to such compensation unless such notification is given more than 45 days after the Affected Party becomes aware of such Regulatory Change.

(c) In determining any amount provided for or referred to in this Section 4.2, an Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods (consistent with its ordinary business practices) that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable. Any Affected Party when making a claim under this Section 4.2 shall submit to Borrower the above-referenced certificate as to such actual increased cost or actual reduced return (including calculation thereof in reasonable detail), which shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon Borrower.

(d) Each of the Lenders agrees, and to require each Affected Party to agree that, with reasonable promptness after an officer of such Lender or such Affected Party responsible for administering the Transaction Documents becomes aware that it has become an Affected Party under this Section 4.2, is entitled to receive payments under this Section 4.2, or is or has become subject to U.S. withholding Taxes payable by any Loan Party in respect of its investment hereunder, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with any internal policy of such Person or any applicable legal, rating agency or regulatory restriction or directive: (i) use all reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain its commitment or investment hereunder through another branch or office of such Affected Party, or (ii) take such other reasonable measures, if, as a result thereof, the circumstances which would cause such Person to be an Affected Party under this Section 4.2 would cease to exist, or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Person pursuant to this Section 4.2 would be reduced, or such withholding Taxes would be reduced, and if the making, funding or maintaining of such commitment or investment through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such commitment or investment or the interests of such Person; provided that such Person will not be obligated to utilize such other lending office pursuant to this Section 4.2 unless Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Person as a result of utilizing such other office as described in clause (i) above.

(e) If any Liquidity Bank (other than a Co-Agent) makes a claim for compensation under this Section 4.2, Borrower may propose an Eligible Assignee to the applicable Co-Agent who is willing to accept an assignment of such Liquidity Bank’s Commitment, Liquidity Commitment and outstanding Loans, together with each of its other rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents; provided that any expenses or other amounts which would be owing to such Liquidity Bank pursuant to any indemnification provision hereof (including, if applicable, Section 4.3) shall be payable by Borrower as if Borrower had prepaid the Loans of the assigning Lenders rather than such assigning Lenders having assigned their respective interests hereunder. If such proposed Eligible Assignee is acceptable to the applicable Co-Agent (who shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval and shall be deemed to be acting per se reasonably when following the instructions of any rating agency then rating its respective Conduit’s commercial paper or, as applicable, medium term note program), the claiming Liquidity Bank will be obligated to assign all of its rights and obligations to such proposed Eligible Assignee within ten (10) Business Days after such Co-Agent gives its consent to such proposed Eligible Assignee.

Section 4.3 Funding Losses. In the event that any Lender shall actually incur any actual loss or expense (including, without limitation, any actual loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired to make any Loan or Liquidity Funding) as a result of (a) Borrower’s failure to borrow any LIBOR Loan on the date specified in any Borrowing Request or repayment of any LIBOR Loan on a date other than the last day of the applicable interest period, or (b) any event or condition specified in the definition of “Broken Funding Costs,” then, upon written notice from the applicable Co-Agent to the Administrative Agent, Borrower and the Servicer, Borrower shall pay to the Servicer, and the Servicer shall pay to the applicable Co-Agent for the account of such Lender or Funding Source upon demand, the amount of such actual loss or expense (which shall include without limitation all Broken Funding Costs). Such written notice (which shall include the methodology for calculating, and the calculation of, the amount of such actual loss or expense, in reasonable

detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon Borrower and the Servicer.

The Administrative Agent shall upon the direction of the Majority Co-Agents at any time following the occurrence and continuation of an Amortization Event designate as Servicer any Person to succeed International Paper or any successor Servicer provided that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Agents, International Paper shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than (i) Borrower, (ii) with respect to certain Defaulted Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices, and (iii) solely to the extent and on the conditions provided in Section 8.1(d), [***]. Neither [***] nor Borrower shall be permitted to further delegate to any other Person any of the duties or responsibilities of the Servicer delegated to it by International Paper.

Section 8.2 Duties of Servicer.

(a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

(b) The Servicer will instruct all Obligors to pay all Collections directly to a Lock Box or Collection Account. The Servicer shall effect a Collection Account Agreement in form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent with each bank party to a Collection Account at any time. In the case of any remittances received in any Lock Box or Collection Account that shall have been identified, to the satisfaction of the Servicer, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the Receivables or the Related Security, the Servicer shall promptly remit such items to the Person identified to it as being the owner of such remittances. From and after the date the Administrative Agent delivers to any Collection Bank a Collection Notice pursuant to Section 8.3, the Administrative Agent may request that the Servicer, and the Servicer thereupon promptly shall instruct all Obligors with respect to the Receivables, to remit all payments thereon to a new depositary account specified by the Administrative Agent and, at all times thereafter, Borrower and the Servicer shall not deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not permit any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to such new depositary account any cash or payment item other than Collections.

(c) The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article II. The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of Borrower and the Lenders their respective shares of the Collections in accordance with Article II. The Servicer shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or Borrower prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II. If the Servicer shall be

required to segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Administrative Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the Lenders on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.

(d) The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event the Administrative Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

(e) The Servicer shall hold in trust for Borrower and the Lenders all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related Contracts and Related Security or (ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as practicable after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event and upon demand of the Administrative Agent, deliver or make available to the Administrative Agent all such Records, at a place selected by the Administrative Agent. The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof turn over to Borrower any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Indebtedness not constituting Receivables. The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of any Lender, furnish to the Lenders (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Lenders pursuant to Article II.

(f) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to International Paper or Borrower 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 any Receivable of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) 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 8.3 Collection Notices. The Administrative Agent is authorized at any time after the occurrence and continuation of an Amortization Event to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices. Borrower hereby transfers, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, effective when the Administrative Agent delivers such notice, the exclusive ownership and control of each Lock Box and the Collection Accounts. In case any authorized signatory of Borrower whose signature appears on a Collection Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of such notice, such Collection Notice shall nevertheless be valid as if such authority had remained in force. Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent with full power of substitution, as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or in its own name and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, grants to Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of Borrower, without notice or assent by Borrower to (i) at any time after delivery of the Collection Notices, endorse Borrower’s name on checks and other

instruments representing Collections, (ii) at any time after the occurrence and continuation of an Amortization Event, enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the Related Security, and (iii) at any time after the occurrence and continuation of an Amortization Event, take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables to come into the possession of the Administrative Agent rather than Borrower.

Section 8.4 Responsibilities of Borrower. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of their rights hereunder shall not release the Originator or Borrower from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under the related Contracts. The Lenders shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of Borrower.

Section 8.5 Monthly Reports. The Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Co-Agents (i) on each Monthly Reporting Date, a Monthly Report and an electronic file of the data contained therein and (ii) upon five (5) Business Day’s notice by Administrative Agent and in no event not more than once every six months, a listing by Obligor (such Obligors to be limited to those with payables in excess of $250,000) of all Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables; provided, however, that if (a) an Amortization Event shall exist and be continuing [***] (i) each of the Co-Agents may request a Monthly Report be prepared and forwarded to the Co-Agents more frequently than monthly and, so long as such request is not made on or within 5 Business Days prior to the last day of any calendar month, the Servicer agrees to provide such report within 5 Business Days after such request and (ii) at such times as the Administrative Agent shall request, the Servicer agrees to prepare and forward to the Co-Agents a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables.

Section 8.6 Servicing Fee. As compensation for the Servicer’s servicing activities on their behalf, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay the Servicer the Servicing Fee, which fee shall be paid in arrears on the 2nd Business Day after each Monthly Reporting Date, and the parties hereby agree that such fee shall be paid out of Collections in accordance with Section 3.2.

(xii) the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction

or other applicable laws with respect to any Collateral, and the proceeds thereof, whether at the time of any Advance or at any subsequent time;

If after the date hereof, any Funding Source shall be charged any fee, expense or increased cost on account of the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy) or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (a “Regulatory Change”): (i) that subjects any Funding Source to any charge or withholding on or with respect to any Funding Agreement or a Funding Source’s obligations under a Funding Agreement, or on or with respect to the Receivables, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Funding Source of any amounts payable under any Funding Agreement (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of a Funding Source or taxes excluded by Section 10.1) or (ii) that imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of a Funding Source, or credit extended by a Funding Source pursuant to a Funding Agreement or (iii) that imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to a Funding Source of performing its obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on a Funding Source’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Funding Source under a Funding Agreement or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, then, upon demand by the Administrative Agent,

This Section 11.3 is intended solely to govern the relationship between the Agents, on the one hand, and the Lenders and their respective Liquidity Banks, on the other.

Section 11.4 Reliance by Agents.

(a) Each of the Agents shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each of the Agents shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other document furnished in connection herewith unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of such of its Lenders and Liquidity Banks, as it shall determine to be appropriate under the relevant circumstances, or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by its Constituent Liquidity Banks against any and all liability, cost and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

(b) Any action taken by any of the Agents in accordance with Section 11.4(a) shall be binding upon all of the Agents and the Lenders.

Section 11.5 Notice of Amortization Event. None of the Agents shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Amortization Event or Unmatured Amortization Event unless such Agent has received notice from another Agent, a Lender or a Loan Party referring to this Agreement, stating that an Amortization Event or Unmatured

Amortization Event has occurred hereunder and describing such Amortization Event or Unmatured Amortization Event. In the event that any of the Agents receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders and the other Agents. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Amortization Event or Unmatured Amortization Event as shall be directed by either of the Co-Agents provided that the Administrative Agent is indemnified to its satisfaction by such Co-Agent and its Constituent Liquidity Banks against any and all liability, cost and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking any such action.

Section 11.6 Non-Reliance on Other Agents and Lenders. Each of the Lenders expressly acknowledges that none of the Agents, nor any of the Agents’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any of the Agents hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Loan Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent. Each of the Lenders also represents and warrants to the Agents and the other Lenders that it has, independently and without reliance upon any such Person (or any of their Affiliates) 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 Loan Parties and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of the Lenders also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Liquidity Bank or Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. The Agents, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any party to this Agreement with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Loan Parties which may come into the possession of such Person or any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates, except that each of the Agents shall promptly distribute to the other Agents and the Lenders, copies of financial and other information expressly provided to it by either of the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 11.7 Indemnification of Agents. Each Liquidity Bank agrees to indemnify (a) its applicable Co-Agent, (b) the Administrative Agent, and (c) the officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents of each of the foregoing (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), ratably in accordance with their respective Loans, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Co-Agent, the Administrative Agent or such Person in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Co-Agent or the Administrative Agent or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Co-Agent, the Administrative Agent or such Person as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement

or any other document furnished in connection herewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Co-Agent, the Administrative Agent or such Person as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

Section 11.8 Agents in their Individual Capacities. Each of the Agents in its individual capacity and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties and their Affiliates as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder. With respect to its Loans, if any, pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Agents shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each of the Agents in their individual capacities.

Each of the Secured Parties hereby expressly recognizes and agrees that the Administrative Agent may be listed as the assignee or secured party of record on the various UCC filings required to be made under the Transaction Documents in order to perfect their respective interests in the Collateral, that such listing shall be for administrative convenience only in creating a record or nominee holder to take certain actions hereunder on behalf of the Secured Parties and that such listing will not affect in any way the status of the Secured Parties as the true parties in interest with respect to the Collateral. In addition, such listing shall impose no duties on the Administrative Agent other than those expressly and specifically undertaken in accordance with this Article XI.

ARTICLE XII.

ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

Section 12.1 Restrictions on Assignments.

(a) Except to the extent permitted by the Transaction Documents, no Loan Party may assign its rights, or delegate its duties hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each of the Agents and, if required by any Conduit, satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.

(b) Each of the Conduits may, at any time, assign all or any portion of any of its Loans, or sell participations therein, to its Constituent Liquidity Banks (or to its Co-Agent for the ratable benefit of its Constituent Liquidity Banks) or to any other multi-seller commercial paper conduit administered by the same Co-Agent or one of its Affiliates provided such conduit issues commercial paper which is rated as least as high as the assigning Conduit’s.

(i) in the event that any of the Liquidity Banks becomes a Downgraded Liquidity Bank, such Downgraded Liquidity Bank shall give prompt written notice of its Downgrading Event to the applicable Co-Agent and Borrower. Within 5 Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of such notice, Borrower may propose an Eligible Assignee who is willing to accept an assignment of, and to assume, such Downgraded Liquidity Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and under the applicable Liquidity Agreement. In the event that Borrower fails to propose such an Eligible Assignee within such

5 Business Day period, or such Eligible Assignee does not execute and deliver assignment and assumption documents reasonably acceptable to such Downgraded Liquidity Bank and the applicable Co-Agent and pay the Downgraded Liquidity Bank’s Obligations in full, in each case, not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the 10th Business Day following Borrower’s receipt of notice of such Downgrading Event, the applicable Co-Agent may identify an Eligible Assignee without Borrower’s consent, and the Downgraded Liquidity Bank shall promptly assign its rights and obligations to the Eligible Assignee designated by such Co-Agent against payment in full of its Obligations;

(ii) each of the Lenders may assign all or any portion of its Loans and, if applicable, its Commitment and Liquidity Commitment, to any Eligible Assignee with the prior written consent of (A) Borrower and (B) such Lender’s applicable Co-Agent, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that no such consent shall be required if such Eligible Assignee is already a Liquidity Bank party to this Agreement and the aggregate Liquidity Commitments, after giving effect to such assignment, would not be reduced solely because of such assignment;

(iii) each of the Lenders may, without the prior written consent of Borrower or any of the Agents, sell participations in all or any portion of their respective rights and obligations in, to and under the Transaction Documents and the Obligations to any bank or other financial entity (each, a “Participant”) in accordance with Sections 12.2 and 14.5.

(d) Nothing herein shall limit the ability of any Conduit to grant a security interest therein to the program collateral agent for such Conduit’s Promissory Note program.

Section 12.2 Rights of Assignees and Participants.

(a) Upon the assignment by a Lender in accordance with Section 1.2(c) or 12.1(b) or (c), the Eligible Assignee(s) receiving such assignment shall have all of the rights of such Lender with respect to the Transaction Documents and the Obligations (or such portion thereof as has been assigned).

(b) In no event will the sale of any participation interest in any Lender’s or any Eligible Assignee’s rights under the Transaction Documents or in the Obligations relieve the seller of such participation interest of its obligations, if any, hereunder or, if applicable, under the Liquidity Agreement to which it is a party and such seller shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder. No Participant shall have any right to restrict the approval of or to approve any amendment, modification or waiver to the provisions hereof except to the extent any such amendment, modification or waiver reduces the amount of Advances or the interest rate or fees payable with respect to such Advances; provided, however, that to the extent that any Liquidity Funding is deemed to be the sale of a participation, the foregoing limitation on Participants’ voting rights shall not apply to any Liquidity Bank participating in such Liquidity Funding.

Section 12.3 Terms and Evidence of Assignment. Any assignment to any Eligible Assignee(s) pursuant to Section 1.2(c), 12.1(b) or 12.1(c) shall be upon such terms and conditions as the assigning Lender and the applicable Co-Agent, on the one hand, and the Eligible Assignee, on the other, may mutually agree, and shall be evidenced by such instrument(s) or document(s) as may be satisfactory to such Lender, the applicable Co-Agent and the Eligible Assignee(s). Any assignment made in accordance with the terms of this Article XII shall relieve the assigning Lender of its obligations, if any, under this Agreement (and, if applicable, the Liquidity Agreement to which it is a party) to the extent assigned.

ARTICLE XIII.

SECURITY INTEREST

Section 13.1 Grant of Security Interest. To secure the due and punctual payment of the Obligations, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, including, without limitation, all Indemnified Amounts, in each case pro rata according to the respective amounts thereof, Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, all of Borrower’s right, title and interest, whether now owned and existing or hereafter arising in and to all of the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections and all proceeds of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”).

Section 13.2 Termination after Final Payout Date. Each of the Secured Parties hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees, promptly after the Final Payout Date to execute and deliver to Borrower such UCC termination statements as may be necessary to terminate the Administrative Agent’s security interest in and Lien upon the Collateral, all at Borrower’s expense. Upon the Final Payout Date, all right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties in and to the Collateral shall terminate.

Section 13.3 Release of Certain Charged-Off Receivables. From time to time, the Borrower may request that the Agents and the Lenders release their security interest in specific Receivables that have been fully charged-off (and all related Collections thereof and Records) in order to permit their sale to International Paper on an arms’-length basis by delivering a written request to the Agents accompanied by a list of the specific Receivables involved, including related dollar amounts, sales prices and purchasers, not less than 5 Business Days prior to the proposed third party sale. Provided that no Amortization Event or Unmatured Amortization Event then exists or would result from such sale, each of the Co-Agents and the Lenders hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees, to execute a specific release in substantially the form of the first document included in Exhibit VII hereto, and the Borrower hereby agrees to execute a sale and assignment of such specific Receivables in substantially the form of the second document included in Exhibit VII hereto.

ARTICLE XIV.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 14.1 Waivers and Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each of the Loan Parties and the

Agents, and any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that:

(a) before any Co-Agent enters into such an amendment or grants such a waiver or consent that is deemed to be material by S&P and/or Moody’s, if required by its Conduit’s program documents, the Rating Agency Condition must be satisfied with respect to such Conduit, and

(b) without the prior written consent of all Gotham Liquidity Banks with respect to the Gotham Agent, the PARCO Liquidity Banks with respect to the PARCO Agent, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Liquidity Banks with respect to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Agent and the CAFCO Liquidity Banks with respect to the CAFCO Agents, such Co-Agent will not amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement which would (i) reduce the amount of any principal or interest that is payable on account of its Conduit’s Loans or delay any scheduled date for payment thereof; (ii) decrease the Required Reserve, decrease the spread included in any Interest Rate or change the Servicer’s Fee; (iii) modify this Section 14.1; or (iv) modify any yield protection or indemnity provision which expressly inures to the benefit of assignees or Participants of such Co-Agent’s Conduit.

Section 14.2 Notices. Except as provided in this Section 14.2, all communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telecopy or electronic facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to the other parties hereto at their respective addresses or telecopy numbers set forth on the signature pages hereof or at such other address or telecopy number as such Person may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to each of the other parties hereto. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by telecopy, upon the receipt thereof, (ii) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days after the time such communication is deposited in the mail with first class postage prepaid or (iii) if given by any other means, when received at the address specified in this Section 14.2. Borrower hereby authorizes each of the Co-Agents to effect Advances and Interest Period and Interest Rate selections based on telephonic notices made by any Person whom such Co-Agent in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of Borrower. Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Co-Agents a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of Borrower; provided, however, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice. If the written confirmation differs from the action taken by the Co-Agents, the records of the Co-Agents shall govern absent manifest error.

Section 14.3 Ratable Payments. Except as provided in the next sentence, if any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Obligations owing to such Lender (other than payments received pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender entitled to receive a ratable share of such Obligations, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Obligations held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of such Obligations; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Liquidity Banks in one of the Groups decline to extend their Liquidity Termination Date, their Co-Agent will promptly notify the other Co-

Agents and Borrower of such decision, and Borrower shall have the right to replace the non-extending Group with a new Conduit and one or more new Liquidity Banks without repaying any portion of the other Group’s Loans at the time of such replacement, and without triggering the purchase requirements under the preceding sentence.

Section 14.4 Protection of Administrative Agent’s Security Interest.

(a) Borrower agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be necessary or desirable, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, or to enable the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder. At any time after the occurrence and continuation of an Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent may, or the Administrative Agent may direct Borrower or the Servicer to, notify the Obligors of Receivables, at Borrower’s expense, of the ownership or security interests of the Lenders under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee. Borrower or the Servicer (as applicable) shall, at any Lender’s request, withhold the identity of such Lender in any such notification.

(b) If any Loan Party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower as provided in Section 10.3. Each Loan Party irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of such Loan Party (i) to execute on behalf of Borrower 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 Lenders in the Receivables (including, without limitation, financing statements naming the Borrower as debtor that describe the collateral as “all assets whether now existing or hereafter arising” or “all personal property now owned or hereafter acquired” or words of similar effect) and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables 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 Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Each of the Loan Parties (A) hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements and other filing or recording documents with respect to the Receivables and Related Security (including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements thereof), without the signature or other authorization of such Loan Party, in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interest of the Administrative Agent hereunder, (B) acknowledges and agrees that it is not authorized to, and will not, file financing statements or other filing or recording documents with respect to the Receivables or Related Security (including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements thereof), without the express prior written approval by the Administrative Agent, consenting to the form and substance of such filing or recording document, and approves, authorizes and ratifies any filings

or recordings made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in connection with the perfection of the security interests in favor of Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

Section 14.5 Confidentiality.

(a) Each Loan Party and each Lender shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement, the Fee Letters and the other confidential or proprietary information that are clearly marked as being confidential and/or proprietary with respect to any Agent or any Conduit and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that such Loan Party and such Lender and its officers and employees may disclose such information to such Loan Party’s and such Lender’s external accountants and attorneys and as required by any applicable law or order of any judicial or administrative proceeding.

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Loan Party hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it (i) to any Agent, the Liquidity Banks or any Conduit by each other, (ii) to any prospective or actual assignee or Participant of any of them, (iii) to any rating agency who rates any Conduit’s Promissory Notes or other debt securities or to any Promissory Note dealer, (iv) to any provider of a surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to any Conduit or any entity organized for the purpose of purchasing, or making loans secured by, financial assets for which BTMU, JPMorgan, BNP Paribas or Citibank or any of their respective Affiliates acts as the administrative agent (each of the foregoing, an “Enhancer”), and (iv) to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants, advisors and attorneys of any of the foregoing, provided that each such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information and (except in the case of a Person described in clause (iii) above) agrees to maintain the confidential nature of such information. In addition, the Lenders, the Agents and the Enhancers may disclose any such nonpublic information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law).

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, each of the Agents and the Lenders hereby confirms that each of the Loan Parties, the Originators and their respective representatives shall not be limited from disclosing the U.S. tax treatment or U.S. tax structure of the transactions evidenced hereby.

Section 14.6 Bankruptcy Petition. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Loan Parties, Agents and Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any of the Conduits, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any of the Conduits any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.

Section 14.7 Limitation of Liability. Except with respect to any claim arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Agent, any Lender or JH Management

Corporation, no claim may be made by any Loan Party or any other Person against any such Person or any of its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of 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 Loan Party hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to ▇▇▇ upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW (EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED THEREIN) AND EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION OF THE OWNERSHIP INTEREST OF BORROWER OR THE SECURITY INTEREST OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE SECURED PARTIES, IN ANY OF THE COLLATERAL IS GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 14.9 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY SUCH PERSON PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY ANY LOAN PARTY AGAINST ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY SUCH LOAN PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK.

Section 14.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY ANY LOAN PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

Section 14.11 Integration; Binding Effect; Survival of Terms.

(a) This Agreement and each other Transaction Document contain 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.

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any trustee in bankruptcy). This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to (i) any breach of any representation and warranty made by any Loan Party pursuant to Article VI, (ii) the indemnification and payment provisions of Article X, and Sections 14.5 and 14.6 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
