Upon written demand by Purchaser, Seller Counterparties shall indemnify Purchaser and hold Purchaser harmless from any actual, out-of-pocket cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) that Purchaser may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) a failure by Seller Counterparties in repurchasing any Purchased Asset on the Early Repurchase Date after a Seller Counterparty has given a notice in accordance with Article 3(d) of an Early Repurchase Date, (ii) any payment of the Repurchase Price (or the Swingline Repayment Amount) on any day other than a Remittance Date, or upon the occurrence of any Benchmark Transition Event in accordance with Article 3(g) on any day other than a Pricing Rate Determination Date, and/or (iii) any determination by Seller Counterparties to not sell an Eligible Asset to Purchaser after Seller Counterparties have notified Purchaser of a proposed Transaction and Purchaser has agreed to purchase such Eligible Assets in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(g) Effect of Benchmark Transition Event. If on the Pricing Rate Determination Date for any Pricing Rate Period with respect to any Transaction, Purchaser shall have determined in the exercise of its sole and absolute business judgment (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller Counterparties) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant

market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining SOFR for such Pricing Rate Period, Purchaser shall give written notice thereof to Seller Counterparties as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, the Pricing Rate with respect to such Transaction for the Pricing Rate Period to which such Pricing Rate Determination Date relates, and for any subsequent Pricing Rate Periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Purchaser (which withdrawal shall be delivered by Purchaser promptly after Purchaser becomes aware that the condition for switching to the Alternative Rate no longer exists), shall be a per annum rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus the Applicable Spread (the “Alternative Rate”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not determine the Pricing Rate hereunder based on the Alternative Rate pursuant to this Article 3(g) unless Purchaser is calculating the interest rate or pricing rate based on such Alternative Rate on all of its similarly situated customers under similar facilities.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or a SOFR Transition Event, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to any Benchmark prior to the Reference Time for any Pricing Rate Determination Date for such Benchmark, the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document in respect of such setting and all settings on all subsequent dates (without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller Counterparties may at any time agree to amend and restate any Confirmation with respect to any Transaction to replace the related Benchmark with respect to such Transaction with the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation or administration of any Benchmark or Benchmark Replacement, in connection with any Benchmark Replacement Date or as a result of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, Purchaser will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Seller Counterparties or any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(iii) Market Disruption. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of the Pricing Rate based on the applicable Benchmark shall, during the continuance of such Benchmark Unavailability Period, be replaced with a Benchmark Replacement reasonably determined by Purchaser.

Purchaser will promptly notify Seller Counterparties of (a) any Benchmark Replacement Date, (b) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (c) the effectiveness of any changes to the calculation of the Pricing Rate described in Article 3(g)(iii). For the avoidance of doubt, any notice required to be delivered by Purchaser as set forth in this Article 3(g) may be provided, at the option of Purchaser (in its sole discretion), in one or more notices and may be delivered together with, or as a part of any amendment which implements any Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Purchaser pursuant to this Article 3(g), including any determination with respect to a

tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in Purchaser’s sole discretion and without consent from Seller Counterparties or any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(v) Intentionally Omitted.

(vi) Disclaimer. Purchaser does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the administration, submission or any other matter related to SOFR, the SOFR Average or Term SOFR or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation any Benchmark Replacement implemented hereunder), (b) the composition or characteristics of any such Benchmark Replacement, including whether it is similar to, or produces the same value or economic equivalence to SOFR, the SOFR Average or Term SOFR (or any other Benchmark) or have the same volume or liquidity as SOFR, the SOFR Average or Term SOFR (or any other Benchmark), (c) any actions or use of its discretion or other decisions or determinations made with respect to any matters covered by Article 3(g) or Article 3(h) including, without limitation, whether or not a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred, whether to declare a SOFR Transition Event, the removal or lack thereof of unavailable or non-representative tenors of SOFR, the SOFR Average or Term SOFR (or any other Benchmark), the implementation or lack thereof of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, the delivery or non-delivery of any notices required by Article 3(g)(iv) or otherwise in accordance herewith, and (d) the effect of any of the foregoing provisions of Article 3(g) or Article 3(h).

(h) Requirements of Law. (1) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful for Purchaser (A) to enter into Transactions, then any commitment of Purchaser, as applicable, hereunder to enter into new Transactions shall forthwith be canceled or (B) to maintain or continue Transactions, then a Repurchase Date shall occur for all Transactions on the next Remittance Date or on such earlier date as may be required by law. If any termination of a Transaction shall occur in accordance with subclause (B) of the preceding sentence, the applicable Seller Counterparty shall pay to Purchaser, as applicable, such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Article 3(f).

(2) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by Purchaser with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Purchaser made subsequent to the date hereof:

(A) shall subject Purchaser to any Taxes (other than (i) Covered Taxes and (ii) Taxes described in clauses (a) through (e) of the definition of Covered Taxes) with respect to the Transaction Documents, any Purchased Asset or any Transaction;

(B) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Purchaser that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Benchmark hereunder; or

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Purchaser, then the applicable Seller Counterparty shall promptly pay Purchaser, upon demand therefor, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Purchaser for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by the Seller Counterparties of any or all of the Purchased Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not exercise its rights to impose any such additional amounts on Seller Counterparties under this Article 3(h)(2) unless Purchaser is contemporaneously imposing such additional amounts on all of its similarly situated counterparties.

(3) If Purchaser shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Purchaser or any corporation controlling Purchaser with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Purchaser’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Purchaser or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Purchaser’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then Seller Counterparties shall promptly pay to Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Purchaser for such reduction.

(4) If Purchaser becomes entitled to claim any amount pursuant to clauses (2) or (3) above, Purchaser shall, within ten (10) Business Days after becoming aware that it is so entitled, notify Seller Counterparties in writing specifying the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and setting forth the calculation of any such amount, which calculation shall be conclusive evidence of any such amount absent manifest error. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller Counterparties shall not be required to compensate Purchaser pursuant to clauses (2) or (3) above for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than twelve (12) months prior to the date that Purchaser notifies Seller Counterparties of the change in Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of Purchaser’s intention to claim compensation thereof (except that, if the change in Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the twelve-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(i) If Purchaser shall exercise its rights under Articles 3(g) or 3(h) hereof, then Seller Counterparties shall have the right, within ninety (90) days after Purchaser has delivered written notice to Seller Counterparties that it will exercise its rights under Articles 3(g) or 3(h) hereof

(unless Purchaser has at such time waived any claims pursuant to such Articles or such Articles no longer apply) to terminate this Agreement and all Transactions hereunder by payment in full to Purchaser of the then outstanding Repurchase Price of all Purchased Assets, and, in connection with any such termination, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, there shall be no Exit Fee or prepayment fee or premium due.

(j) Conditions to the Addition of a Contributed Swingline Loan. (i) A Seller Counterparty may request the addition of a Contributed Swingline Loan (a “Proposed Contributed Swingline Loan”) to the facility by submitting a request in writing to the Purchaser, together with the Contributed Swingline Loan Deliverables for such Proposed Contributed Swingline Loan, and certifying that such asset satisfies the Contributed Swingline Loan Conditions (such notice and other materials delivered therewith, a “Contributed Swingline Loan Addition Notice”).

(ii) Within no fewer than two (2) Business Days of receipt of a Contributed Swingline Loan Addition Notice, the Purchaser shall notify the Seller Counterparties that the Purchaser has approved such Proposed Contributed Swingline Loan (a “Contributed Swingline Loan Approval Notice”) or that the Purchaser has not approved such Proposed Contributed Swingline Loan. If the Purchaser delivers a Contributed Swingline Loan Approval Notice, then, the Proposed Contributed Swingline Loan shall become a Contributed Swingline Loan upon the delivery of each of the following to the Purchaser not later than ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such Contributed Swingline Loan Approval Notice, (x) a notice of borrowing and (y) a Contributed Swingline Loan Addition Certificate certifying (i) the date such Proposed Contributed Swingline Loan was originated or acquired by Swingline Subsidiary or originator (if Swingline Subsidiary was not the originator), (ii) that the Proposed Contributed Swingline Loan is an Eligible Swingline Loan satisfying each of the Contributed Swingline Loan Conditions on such date, (iii) that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to and after giving effect to the addition of such Proposed Contributed Swingline Loan, and (iv) the computation of the Contributed Swingline Loan Value for the Proposed Contributed Swingline Loan (including the declining amounts in accordance with the definition of “Contributed Swingline Loan Value”). If an Eligible Swingline Loan is approved by Purchaser, then on the Purchase Date, with respect to such Eligible Swingline Loan, Purchaser shall transfer to Seller the Swingline Advance Amount with respect to such Eligible Swingline Loan.

(iii) In the event that a Proposed Contributed Swingline Loan is not an Eligible Swingline Loan satisfying each of the Contributed Swingline Loan Conditions, such Proposed Contributed Swingline Loan may be added to the facility upon the prior written consent of the Purchaser in its sole discretion, and if such consent is given, the applicable Contributed Swingline Loan Condition will be modified with respect to such asset for so long as such asset is a Contributed Swingline Loan.

the release of such Contributed Swingline Loan (unless such Default or Event of Default is caused by, or arises directly in relation to, the Contributed Swingline Loan being released, and would be cured by such release), (iii) all representations and warranties in the Contributed Swingline Loan Documents are true and accurate in all material respects at the time of such release and immediately after giving effect to such release; provided that (x) to the extent that any such representation or warranty relates to a specific earlier date, they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (y) any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct (after giving effect to qualifications therein) in all respects on such respective dates.

(l) Purchase Price Percentage Stepdown. With respect to each Contributed Swingline Loan, Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount sufficient to cause the Swingline Advance Amount of such Eligible Swingline Loan to be equal to the related Swingline Loan Advance Rate. Any such payment made by Seller pursuant to this Article 3(l) shall be applied by Purchaser to reduce the Swingline Repayment Amount of the applicable Contributed Swingline Loan and shall be in addition to any other payment made in reduction of the Swingline Repayment Amount of such Contributed Swingline Loan.

Amounts in the Collection Account shall be remitted by Account Bank in accordance with the applicable provisions of Articles 5(f), (g), and (i).

(f) Intentionally omitted.

(g) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Account Bank shall, on each Remittance Date (or, with respect to Principal Payments received by Account Bank, within one (1) Business Day after receipt), remit all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account in the following amounts and order of priority:

(i) first, to pay all fees and other amounts then due and payable to Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement and Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement then due and payable;

(iii) third, to Purchaser, an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid Unused Fee (if any) then due and payable;

(iv) fourth, to Purchaser, an amount equal to any unpaid Margin Deficit;

(v) fifth, to the extent any Principal Payment is received for any Purchased Asset or Contributed Swingline Loan, to Purchaser to be applied in reduction of the Purchase Price by an amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of such Principal Payment multiplied by (y) the related Purchase Price Percentage for such Purchased Asset or Contributed Swingline Loan;

(vi) sixth, to Purchaser, an amount equal to any other amounts then due and payable to Purchaser under any Transaction Document; and

(vii) seventh, the surplus, if any, to Seller.

(h) Upon receipt of notice from Purchaser that an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and so long as Purchaser has not withdrawn such notice, Account Bank shall cease remitting funds to, or at the direction of, Seller Counterparties pursuant to Article 5(i) and shall instead remit, on each Business Day beginning on the Business Day after receipt of such notice from Purchaser, all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as of the prior Business Day to Purchaser for application to the Repurchase Obligations in such order of priority as Purchaser shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion

(i) Intentionally omitted.

(j) If the amounts applied by Purchaser as provided in Articles 5(g) or (h) above are insufficient to pay all amounts due and payable from Seller Counterparties to Purchaser under this Agreement or any Transaction Document on a Remittance Date, the Repurchase Date, upon the

occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise, Seller Counterparties shall nevertheless remain liable for and shall pay to Purchaser when due all such amounts.

(k) Withholding Taxes.

(i) All payments made by Seller Counterparties under the Transaction Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes unless the withholding or deduction is required by applicable law. If a Seller Counterparty is required by applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of Seller Counterparties) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any such payment, Seller Counterparties shall: (i) make such deduction or withholding; (ii) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due; (iii) deliver to Purchaser, as soon as practicable, original tax receipts or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (iv) if such deduction or withholding is in respect of Covered Taxes, then the sum payable by Seller Counterparties shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Article 5(k)) Purchaser receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(ii) In addition, each Seller Counterparty agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future recordation, stamp, documentary, intangible, filing or similar taxes or any other property taxes, charges or similar levies (including mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) that arise from any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Transaction Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment of the Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (“Other Taxes”).

(iii) Without duplication of the obligation of each Seller Counterparty to pay additional amounts on account of Covered Taxes pursuant to Article 5(k)(i) and to pay Other Taxes pursuant to Article 5(k)(ii), each Seller Counterparty agrees to indemnify Purchaser for the full amount of any and all Covered Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of any Covered Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Article 5(k)(iii), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, (excluding any Taxes that are neither Covered Taxes nor Other Taxes), whether or not such Covered Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to each Seller Counterparty by Purchaser shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement hereunder, the agreements and obligations of each party contained in this Article 5(k) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Article 5(k) shall require

Purchaser to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

(v) If a Person acquires any of the rights and obligations of Purchaser as an assignee under this Agreement, and such Person is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Person”), then such Non-U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to each Seller Counterparty on or before the date when such Person becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Seller Counterparties), two duly completed and executed copies of, as applicable, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor forms thereto designated as such by the IRS. If the Non-U.S. Person is eligible for and wishes to claim exemption from US federal withholding tax under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” then such Person shall deliver both the Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E and a statement certifying that such Person is not a bank, a “10 percent shareholder” or a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”). If the Non-U.S. Person is not the beneficial owner, then such Person shall deliver executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such Person is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Person are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Person may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. If a payment made to a Non-U.S. Person under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Non-U.S. Person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Non-U.S. Person shall deliver to the Seller Counterparties at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller Counterparties such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Seller Counterparties as may be necessary for the Seller Counterparties to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Non-U.S. Person has complied with such Non-U.S. Person’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Article 5(k)(v), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. In addition, any Non-U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller Counterparties (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller Counterparties) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Person becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller Counterparties), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Seller Counterparties to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(vi) Purchaser shall deliver to Seller Counterparties on or prior to the date upon which Purchaser becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller Counterparties) an executed copy of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Purchaser is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. If a Seller Counterparty is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder and Purchaser is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of such Taxes, Purchaser agrees that it will deliver to Seller Counterparties and, if applicable, to the authority imposing the Taxes, any properly completed and executed certificate or document reasonably requested by Seller Counterparties that would entitle Purchaser to an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, withholding or deduction of Taxes form amounts payable hereunder by Seller Counterparties to Purchaser. In addition, Purchaser, if reasonably requested by Seller Counterparties, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Seller Counterparties as will enable Seller Counterparties to determine whether or not Purchaser is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(vii) If any previously delivered form, statement or other documentation described in paragraphs (v) or (vi) of this Article 5(k) becomes inaccurate with respect to the Person that delivered it, such Person shall promptly notify Seller Counterparties of this fact.

(viii) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Article 5(k) (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Article 5(k)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of the indemnity payments made under this Article 5(k) with respect to Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Article 5(k)(viii) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 5(k)(viii), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amounts to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Article 5(k)(viii) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to the indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(ix) If Purchaser requests compensation under this Article 5(k), Seller Counterparties may, at their option, within thirty (30) days after delivery of such request, terminate this facility by payment in full to Purchaser of the then outstanding Repurchase Price of all Purchased Assets and the then outstanding Swingline Repayment Amount with

respect to the Contributed Swingline Loans and any other amounts then otherwise due and payable under the facility (excluding any compensation which is not already due and payable pursuant to this Agreement), and, in connection with any such termination, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, there shall be no Exit Fee or prepayment fee or premium due.

ARTICLE 6
SECURITY INTEREST

(a) Purchaser and each Seller Counterparty intends that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Purchaser of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Purchaser to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets (other than as described in Article 21(g)). However, in order to preserve Purchaser’s rights under the Transaction Documents, in the event that a court or other forum re-characterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for the performance by Seller Counterparties of all of Seller Counterparties’ obligations to Purchaser under the Transaction Documents and the Transactions entered into hereunder, or in the event that a transfer of a Purchased Asset is otherwise ineffective to effect an outright transfer of such Purchased Asset to Purchaser, each Seller Counterparty hereby assigns, pledges and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to Purchaser to secure the payment of the Repurchase Price and the Swingline Repayment Amounts on all Transactions to which a Seller Counterparty is a party and all other amounts owing by Seller Counterparties to Purchaser hereunder, including, without limitation, amounts owing pursuant to Article 25, and under the other Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Repurchase Obligations”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, if any determination is made that any Mezzanine Loan which is a Purchased Asset was not sold by Seller Counterparties to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, or that mezzanine loans do not qualify for the safe harbor treatment provided by the Bankruptcy Code, then each Seller Counterparty hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Purchaser as further security for Seller Counterparties’ obligations to Purchaser hereunder, a continuing first priority security interest in and Lien upon each such Mezzanine Loan which constitutes a Purchased Asset hereunder, and Purchaser shall have all the rights and remedies of a “secured party” under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect thereto (such pledge, the “Related Credit Enhancement”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Collateral” shall mean:

(i) the Collection Account and all monies from time to time on deposit in the Collection Account and any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on, income relating to or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing; and

(ii) the Purchased Items.

(b) Seller Counterparties, as of the Closing Date, hereby assigns, pledges and grants a security interest, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collection Account and all monies from time to time on deposit in the Collection Account and any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on, income relating to or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now

existing or hereafter created and wherever located, to Purchaser to secure the Repurchase Obligations.

(c) Purchaser’s security interest in the Collateral and the Collection Account shall terminate only upon satisfaction of the Repurchase Obligations. Upon such satisfaction and upon request of Seller Counterparties, Purchaser shall, at Seller Counterparties’ sole expense, deliver to Seller Counterparties such UCC termination statements and other release documents as may be commercially reasonable and return (or approve the return by Custodian in accordance with the Custodial Agreement, as applicable) the Purchased Assets, Purchased Asset Documents and Purchased Asset Files to Seller Counterparties and reconvey the Purchased Assets to Seller Counterparties and release its security interest in the Collateral and the Collection Account, such release to be effective automatically without further action by any party. For purposes of the grant of the security interest pursuant to this Article 6, this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”). Purchaser shall have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and the other laws of the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) Purchaser, at Seller Counterparties’ sole cost and expense, shall cause to be filed in such locations as may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby, UCC financing statements and continuation statements (collectively, the “Filings”), and shall forward copies of such Filings to Seller Counterparties upon completion thereof, and (ii) each Seller Counterparty shall from time to time take such further actions as may be requested by Purchaser in its sole discretion to maintain and continue the perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby (including marking its records and files to evidence the interests granted to Purchaser hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Repurchase Obligations shall be full recourse to Seller Counterparties.

(d) Each Seller Counterparty acknowledges that it has no rights to service the Purchased Assets and the Contributed Swingline Loans but only has rights granted to it pursuant to Article 27. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and the grant of a security interest pursuant to Article 6(a), and in the event that a Seller Counterparty is deemed by a court, other forum or otherwise to retain any residual Servicing Rights (notwithstanding that such Servicing Rights are Purchased Items hereunder), and for the avoidance of doubt, each Seller Counterparty hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Servicing Rights constitute Collateral hereunder for all purposes. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Section 741(7)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(e) Each Seller Counterparty agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Purchased Asset may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Purchased Assets, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each Seller Counterparty, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives until the Repurchase Obligations are paid in full, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting

the Purchased Assets marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Purchaser or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, sell the Purchased Assets as an entirety or in such parcels as Purchaser or such court may determine.

ARTICLE 7
TRANSFER AND CUSTODY

In respect of each Transaction (other than a Swingline Transaction):

(a) On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the related proposed Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items shall be transferred to Purchaser or its designee (including the Custodian) against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price for such proposed Purchased Asset to an account of Seller specified in the related Confirmation and such proposed Purchased Asset shall become a Purchased Asset hereunder.

(b) Seller shall deposit the Purchased Asset Files representing the Purchased Assets, or direct that such Purchased Asset Files be deposited directly with the Custodian in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. The Purchased Asset Files shall be maintained in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. If a Purchased Asset File is not delivered to Purchaser or its designee (including the Custodian), such Purchased Asset File shall be held in trust by Seller or its designee for the benefit of Purchaser as the owner thereof. Seller or its designee shall maintain a copy of the Purchased Asset File and the originals of the Purchased Asset File not delivered to Purchaser or its designee (including the Custodian). The possession of the Purchased Asset File by Seller or its designee is at the will of Purchaser for the sole purpose of servicing the related Purchased Asset, and such retention and possession by Seller or its designee is in a custodial capacity only. The books and records (including, without limitation, any computer records or tapes) of Seller or its designee shall be marked appropriately to reflect clearly the sale of the related Purchased Asset to Purchaser. Seller or its designee (including the Custodian) shall release its custody of the Purchased Asset File only in accordance with a written request acknowledged in writing by Purchaser and otherwise in accordance with the Custodial Agreement.

(c) From time to time, Seller shall forward to the Custodian, with copy to Purchaser, additional original documents or additional documents evidencing any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Purchased Asset approved (if and to the extent required) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and upon receipt of any such other documents (which shall be clearly marked as to which Purchased Asset File such documents relate) Custodian will be required to hold such other documents in the related Purchased Asset File in accordance with the Custodial Agreement.

ARTICLE 8
SALE, TRANSFER, HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED ASSETS

(a) Title to each Purchased Asset shall pass to Purchaser on the related Purchase Date, and Purchaser shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall

preclude Purchaser from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise selling, transferring, pledging, repledging, hypothecating or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets, all on terms that Purchaser may determine in its sole discretion, but no such transaction shall (i) relieve Purchaser of its obligations to transfer the same Purchased Assets to Seller pursuant to Article 3.

(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall obligate Purchaser to segregate any Purchased Assets delivered to Purchaser by Seller. Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, no Purchased Asset shall remain in the custody of Seller Counterparties or any Affiliate of Seller.

(x) Covered Fund. Seller Counterparties have been structured so as not to constitute, and is not, a “covered fund” for purposes of Section 619 of the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Rule”), and is relying upon an exception or exemption from the registration requirements of the Investment Company Act set forth in Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act.

(y) Federal Regulations. Seller Counterparties are not required to register as an “investment company,” or a company “controlled by an investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Seller Counterparties are not a “holding company,” or a “subsidiary company of a holding company,” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company of a holding company,” as such terms are defined in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005, as amended.

(z) Taxes. Each Seller Counterparty has filed or caused to be filed all required U.S. federal income and other material tax returns or extensions thereto that, to each Seller Counterparty’s Knowledge, would be delinquent if they had not been filed on or before the date hereof (taking into account any extensions) and has paid all U.S. federal and other material Taxes imposed on it or any of its property and shown to be due and payable on or before the date hereof on such returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property (in each case taking into account any extensions) except for any such Taxes as are being appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP; to each Seller Counterparty’s Knowledge, no Tax liens have been filed against any of Seller Counterparties’ assets, except for such Tax liens as are being appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP, and, to each Seller Counterparty’s Knowledge, no material claims are being asserted with respect to any such Taxes.

(bb) Solvency; No Fraudulent Transfer. Each Seller Counterparty has adequate capital for the normal obligations foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business operations. Each Seller Counterparty is generally able to pay, and is paying, its debts as they come due. Neither the Transaction Documents nor any Transaction thereunder are entered into in contemplation of insolvency or with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditors of any Seller Counterparty. As of each Purchase Date, each Seller Counterparty is not insolvent within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. Section 101(32) or any successor provision thereof and the transfer and sale of the related Purchased Assets on such Purchase Date pursuant hereto and the obligation to repurchase such Purchased Assets (i) will not cause the liabilities of any Seller Counterparty to exceed the assets of such Seller Counterparty, (ii) will not result in any Seller Counterparty having unreasonably small capital, and (iii) will not result in debts that would be beyond the Seller Counterparty’s ability to pay as the same mature. Each Seller Counterparty received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for each transfer and sale of the Purchased Assets subject hereto to Purchaser. No Act of Insolvency has occurred with respect to any Seller Counterparty. Each Seller Counterparty has only entered into agreements on terms that would be considered arm’s length and otherwise on terms consistent with other similar agreements with other similarly situated entities.

reasonably necessary to complete the cure thereof for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days.

(b) Remedies. Seller Counterparties hereby appoint Purchaser as attorney-in-fact of Seller Counterparties for the purpose of taking any action and executing or endorsing any instruments that Purchaser may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to any Seller Counterparty, the following rights and remedies shall be available to Purchaser:

(i) At the option of Purchaser, (i) the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, immediately occur (such date, the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”), (ii) the Repayment Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, immediately occur (such date, the “Swingline Accelerated Repayment Date”),

(ii) If Purchaser exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in Article 13(b)(i):

(A) Seller Counterparties’ obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets or remove all Contributed Swingline Loans from the Swingline Subsidiary and repay the related Swingline Advance Amount shall become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date or Swingline Accelerated Repayment Date, as applicable, and Purchaser may immediately terminate all Transactions pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in each case, without notice to Seller Counterparties;

(B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price or the Swingline Repayment Amount with respect to each Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the Accelerated Repurchase Date or Swingline Accelerated Repayment Date, as applicable, to, but excluding, the date of payment of the Repurchase Price (as so increased) or the Swingline Repayment Amount (as so increased), (x) the Pricing Rate for such Transaction multiplied by (y) the Repurchase Price or the Swingline Repayment Amount for such Transaction (decreased by (I) any amounts actually remitted to Purchaser by the Account Bank or Seller Counterparties pursuant to this Agreement and applied to such Repurchase Price or the Swingline Repayment Amount, and (II) any amounts applied to the Repurchase Price or the Swingline Repayment Amount pursuant to Article 13(b)(ii)(D));

(C) the Custodian shall, upon the request of Purchaser, deliver to Purchaser all instruments, certificates and other documents then held by the Custodian relating to the Purchased Assets; and

(D) Purchaser may in accordance with Requirements of Law (1) immediately after the Accelerated Repurchase Date or Swingline Accelerated Repayment Date, as applicable, sell any and all of the Purchased Assets or Contributed Swingline Loans in its sole discretion, and/or (2) in its sole and absolute discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets or Contributed Swingline Loans, to give Seller Counterparties credit for such Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the fair market value of such Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans, as determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion, against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price or Swingline Repayment Amount for such Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans and any other amounts owing by Seller Counterparties under the Transaction Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets or Contributed Swingline Loans effected pursuant to sub-clause (1) above shall be applied by Purchaser in the order and manner set forth in Article 5(i).

(iii) The parties acknowledge and agree that (A) the Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans subject to any Transaction hereunder are not instruments traded in a recognized market, (B) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Purchased Asset or Contributed Swingline Loan, the Purchaser may establish the source therefor in its sole and absolute discretion and (C) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Income (except to the extent contrary to market practice with respect to the relevant Purchased Assets or Contributed Swingline Loans). The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets or Contributed Swingline Loans on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets or Contributed Swingline Loans may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Purchaser may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Purchaser to liquidate any Purchased Assets or Contributed Swingline Loans on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Purchaser.

(iv) Seller Counterparties shall be liable to Purchaser and its Affiliates and shall indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates for the amount (including in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement) of all losses, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default.

(v) Purchaser shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign (where relevant), and local laws (including, without limitation, if the

Transactions are recharacterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Purchaser and any Seller Counterparty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans against all of Seller Counterparties’ obligations to Purchaser under this Agreement, without prejudice to Purchaser’s right to recover any deficiency.

(vi) Purchaser may exercise any or all of the remedies available to Purchaser immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time during the continuance thereof. All rights and remedies arising under the Transaction Documents, as amended from time to time, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that Purchaser may have.

(vii) Purchaser may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller Counterparties hereby expressly waive any defenses Seller Counterparties might otherwise have to require Purchaser to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller Counterparties also waive, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Seller Counterparties might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans, or from any other election of remedies. Each Seller Counterparty recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

(c) Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Seller Counterparty hereby grants to Purchaser and its Affiliates a right of set-off, without notice to any Seller Counterparty, any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by any Seller Counterparty to Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser against (i) any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by Purchaser or its Affiliates to any Seller Counterparty and (ii) any and all deposits (general or specified), monies, credits, securities, collateral or other property of any Seller Counterparty and the proceeds therefrom, now or hereafter held or received for the account of any Seller Counterparty (whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection, or otherwise) by Purchaser or its Affiliates or any entity under the control of Purchaser or its Affiliates and its respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, branches and agencies of Purchaser, wherever located).

Purchaser and its Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to any Seller Counterparty, to set-off, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of set-off against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any amounts owing to Purchaser or its Affiliates by any Seller Counterparty under the Transaction Documents, irrespective of whether Purchaser or its Affiliates shall have made any demand hereunder and although such amounts, or any of them, shall

be contingent or unmatured and regardless of any other collateral securing such amounts. If a sum or obligation is unascertained, Purchaser may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Article 13(c) shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Article 13(c) shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other rights to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).

ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE PURCHASER OR ITS AFFILIATES TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL OR PURCHASED ITEMS THAT SECURE THE AMOUNTS OWING TO PURCHASER OR ITS AFFILIATES BY ANY SELLER COUNTERPARTY UNDER THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT OF SET-OFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH MONIES, SECURITIES, COLLATERAL, DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF SELLER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY EACH SELLER COUNTERPARTY.

ARTICLE 14
SINGLE AGREEMENT

Purchaser and each Seller Counterparty acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder (as well as the grant of the security interest in Article 6 hereof) constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each of Purchaser and each Seller Counterparty agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set-off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and (iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

ARTICLE 15
RECORDING OF COMMUNICATIONS

PURCHASER AND SELLER COUNTERPARTIES SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT (BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION) FROM TIME TO TIME TO MAKE OR CAUSE TO BE MADE TAPE RECORDINGS OF COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN ITS EMPLOYEES, IF ANY, AND THOSE OF THE OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO TRANSACTIONS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH RIGHT TO RECORD COMMUNICATIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO COMMUNICATIONS OF EMPLOYEES TAKING PLACE ON THE TRADING FLOOR OF THE APPLICABLE PARTY. PURCHASER AND SELLER COUNTERPARTIES HEREBY CONSENT TO THE ADMISSIBILITY OF SUCH TAPE RECORDINGS IN ANY COURT, ARBITRATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDINGS, AND AGREES THAT A DULY

AUTHENTICATED TRANSCRIPT OF SUCH A TAPE RECORDING SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A WRITING CONCLUSIVELY EVIDENCING THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE 16

A notice shall be deemed to have been given: (v) in the case of hand delivery, at the time of delivery, (w) in the case of registered or certified mail, when delivered or the first attempted delivery on a Business Day, (x) in the case of expedited prepaid delivery, upon the first attempted delivery on a Business Day, (y) in the case of telecopier, upon receipt of answerback confirmation, provided that such telecopied notice was also delivered as required in this Article 16 or (z) in the case of electronic mail, upon receipt of a verbal or electronic communication confirming receipt thereof, provided that such electronic mail notice was also delivered as required in this Article 16. A party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Article 16 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.

ARTICLE 17
ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY

This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

ARTICLE 18
NON-ASSIGNABILITY

(a) No Seller Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion) and any attempt by any Seller Party to assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document without the prior written consent of Purchaser shall be null and void.

(b) Purchaser may, upon prior written notice to Seller Counterparties (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) but without consent of Seller Counterparties, at any time and from time to time, assign or participate some or all of its rights and obligations under

the Transaction Documents and/or under any Transaction (subject to Article 8(a)) to any Person and, in connection therewith, may bifurcate or allocate (i.e. senior/subordinate) amounts due to Purchaser; provided, that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) such Person shall be a Qualified Transferee, (ii) Purchaser shall act as exclusive agent for all assignees or participants with respect to any such assignment or participation in any dealings with Seller Counterparties (subject to the immediately succeeding sentence) with regard to this Agreement and the Transactions and (iii) Seller Counterparties’ obligations hereunder are not increased and its rights hereunder are not impaired without Seller Counterparties’ written consent. In connection with any sale, assignment or transfer by Purchaser hereunder, other than a sale, assignment, transfer or participation of one hundred percent (100%) of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Purchaser shall continue to control decision-making with respect to the Purchased Assets, determining whether to purchase any Eligible Asset in a Transaction and determining the Market Value of the Purchased Assets. Each Seller Counterparty agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in connection with any such assignment, transfer or sale of participating interest and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, the Transaction Documents to which it is a party in order to give effect to such assignment, transfer or sale of participating interest.

(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Transaction Documents and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

(d) Each Seller Counterparty shall maintain a record of ownership (the “Register”) identifying the name and address of each assignee hereunder and the amount of each such assignee’s interest in the Purchased Assets, which Register is intended to be maintained in accordance with Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations. Transfers made pursuant to Article 18(b) shall be recorded upon such Register. Such Register shall be available for inspection by Purchaser at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Seller Counterparties and Purchaser shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.

(e) If Purchaser sells a participation with respect to its rights under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document with respect to the Purchased Assets, Purchaser shall, acting for this purposes as an agent of a Seller Counterparty, maintain a record of ownership (the “Participant Register”) identifying the name and address of each participant and the amount of each such participant’s interest in the Purchased Assets, provided that the Purchaser and any such other participant shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information related to a participant’s interest in any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent necessary to establish that such interests are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owners of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(f) Purchaser shall cause each assignee, participant or other transferee of Purchaser to provide to Seller Counterparties a properly completed and duly executed IRS form ▇-▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇-▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇, W-8IMY, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate and/or, as appropriate, other applicable forms as described by the IRS or other certifications reasonably requested by a Seller Counterparty for purposes of compliance with applicable withholding provisions pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code and underlying Treasury Regulations. Purchaser and each assignee, participant or transferee hereby agrees to notify Seller Counterparties of any change in circumstance that causes a form, certificate or document provided by it to Seller Counterparties to no longer be true and to provide updated forms upon the obsolescence of any previously delivered form or promptly notify the Seller Counterparties in writing of its legal inability to do so. No Seller shall have an obligation to pay any additional amounts hereunder that may result from the tax status of any assignee, participant or transferee differing from the tax status of Purchaser.

ARTICLE 19
GOVERNING LAW

THIS AGREEMENT (AND ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY HEREUNDER) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS, AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS DOCTRINE APPLIED IN SUCH STATE (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK).

ARTICLE 20
NO WAIVERS, ETC.

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto.

ARTICLE 21
INTENT

(a) The parties intend and acknowledge that (i) each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47) of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of Assets subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), (ii) each Purchased Asset constitutes either a “mortgage loan” or “an interest in a mortgage” as such terms are used in the Bankruptcy Code and (iii) all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or settlement payments” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) The parties intend and acknowledge that either party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to set-off or net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Article 13 is in each case a contractual right to cause or exercise such right as described in Sections 362(b)(6), 555 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c) The parties intend and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then this Agreement and each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in the FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

(d) The parties intend and acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).

(e) The parties intend and acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a “master netting agreement” as defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code, and as used in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code and a “securities contract” with the meaning of Section 555 and Section 559 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(f) The parties intend and acknowledge that any provisions hereof or in any other document, agreement or instrument that is related in any way to this Agreement shall be deemed “related to” this Agreement within the meaning of Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties intend and acknowledge that the pledge of the Related Credit Enhancement set forth in Article 6(a) to constitute “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(g) It is the intention of the parties that, for U.S. Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and for accounting purposes, each Transaction constitute a financing to Seller Counterparties (or any person from whom a Seller Counterparty is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes), and that a Seller Counterparty (or any person from whom a Seller Counterparty is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes) be (except to the extent that Purchaser shall have exercised its remedies following an Event of Default) the owner of the Purchased Assets for such purposes. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Seller Counterparties and Purchaser agree to treat the Transactions consistently as described in the preceding sentence, including on any and all filings with any U.S. Federal, state, or local taxing authority.

ARTICLE 22

DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

(a) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Exchange Act, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

(b) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and

(c) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

ARTICLE 23
CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS

(a) Each party irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal or New York State court sitting in Manhattan, and any appellate court from any such court, solely for the purpose of any suit, action or proceeding brought to enforce its obligations under this Agreement or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement and (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court and any right of jurisdiction on account of its place of residence or domicile.

(b) To the extent that either party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, such party hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of any action brought to enforce its obligations under this Agreement or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement.

(c) The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent each may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding and irrevocably consent to the service of any summons and complaint and any other process by the mailing of copies of such process to them at their respective address specified herein. The parties hereby agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Article 23 shall affect the right of either party to serve legal process in any other

manner permitted by law or affect the right of either party to bring any action or proceeding against the other party or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

(d) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

ARTICLE 24
NO RELIANCE

Each Seller Counterparty hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to Purchaser that, in connection with the negotiation of, the entering into, and the performance under, the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder:

(b) it has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent that it has deemed necessary, and it has made its own investment, hedging and trading decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any Transaction) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by Purchaser;

(c) it is a sophisticated and informed Person that has a full understanding of all the terms, conditions and risks (economic and otherwise) of the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder and is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise) those risks;

(d) it is entering into the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder for the purposes of managing its borrowings or investments or hedging its assets or liabilities and not for purposes of speculation;

(e) no joint venture exists between Purchaser and any Seller Party; and

(either legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial accounting or otherwise) of the Transaction Documents or any Transaction thereunder.

ARTICLE 25
INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES

(a) Each Seller Counterparty hereby agrees to indemnify Purchaser, Purchaser’s Affiliates and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses or disbursements (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements of outside counsel) (all of the foregoing included amounts, collectively “Indemnified Amounts”) that may at any time (including, without limitation, such time as this Agreement shall no longer be in effect and the Transactions or Swingline Transactions shall have been repaid in full) be imposed on or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, or as a result of, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, any Event of Default or any Transaction, or Swingline Transaction, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Seller Counterparty shall be liable for Indemnified Amounts resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party and, provided further, that this Article 25 shall have no application with respect to Taxes other than in connection with any non-Tax claim. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold Purchaser harmless from and indemnify Purchaser against all Indemnified Amounts with respect to all Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including without limitation ERISA, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Purchaser in connection with any Purchased Asset and Contributed Swingline Loans for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Asset or Contributed Swingline Loans, Seller Counterparties shall save, indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against all Indemnified Amounts suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller Counterparties. Each Seller Counterparty also agrees to reimburse Purchaser as and when billed by Purchaser for all Purchaser’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Purchaser’s rights under any Transaction Document or Transaction, including without limitation the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of its counsel. Each Seller Counterparty hereby acknowledges that the obligations of Seller Counterparties hereunder are recourse obligations of each Seller Counterparty.

(b) Each Seller Counterparty agrees to pay or reimburse on demand all of Purchaser’s reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of accountants, attorneys and advisors, incurred in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and consummation of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any Transaction Document or any Transaction thereunder, whether or not such Transaction Document (or amendment thereto) or such Transaction is ultimately consummated, (ii) the consummation and

administration of any Transaction, (iii) any enforcement of any of the provisions of the Transaction Documents, any preservation of the Purchaser’s rights under the Transaction Documents or any performance by Purchaser of any obligations of any Seller or Swingline Subsidiary in respect of any Purchased Asset and Contributed Swingline Loan, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Collateral and for the custody, care or preservation of the Collateral (including insurance, filing and recording costs) and defending or asserting rights and claims of Purchaser in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, (iv) the maintenance of the Collection Account and registering the Collateral in the name of Purchaser or its nominee, (v) any default by any Seller Counterparty in repurchasing the Purchased Asset or Contributed Swingline Loan after Seller Counterparties have given a notice in accordance with Article 3(e) of an Early Repurchase Date, (vi) any payment of the Repurchase Price (or the Swingline Repayment Amount) on any day other than a Remittance Date or conversion to the Alternative Rate in accordance with Article 3(g) on any day other than a Pricing Rate Determination Date (including in each case, without limitation, actual breakage costs incurred by Purchaser as a consequence of terminating any hedging transactions entered into by Purchaser in relation to the Purchased Asset and Contributed Swingline Loan) (“Breakage Costs”), (vii) any failure by any Seller Counterparty to sell any Eligible Asset or Eligible Swingline Loan, as applicable, to Purchaser on the Purchase Date thereof, (viii) any actions taken to perfect or continue any lien created under any Transaction Document, (ix) Purchaser owning any Purchased Asset, Contributed Swingline Loan or other Purchased Item and/or (x) any due diligence performed by Purchaser in accordance with Article 26. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Seller Counterparties to Purchaser under this Agreement. A certificate as to such costs and expenses, setting forth the calculations thereof shall be conclusive and binding upon each Seller Counterparty absent manifest error.

(a) This Article 25 shall survive termination of this Agreement and the repurchase of all Purchased Assets.

ARTICLE 26
DUE DILIGENCE

(a) Each Seller Counterparty acknowledges that Purchaser has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans, the Seller Counterparties and Servicer for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise. Each Seller Counterparty agrees that upon reasonable prior notice (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case no prior notice shall be required), each Seller Counterparty shall provide (or shall cause any other Seller Party or Servicer, as applicable, to provide) reasonable access to Purchaser and any of its agents, representatives or permitted assigns to the offices of Seller Counterparties, such other Seller Party or Servicer, as the case may be, during normal business hours and permit them to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of the Purchased Asset Files, Contributed Swingline Loan Documents, Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans in the possession or under the control of such party; provided, that prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall not contact any Mortgagor or Mezzanine Borrower of an Eligible Asset, any related sponsor or other obligor, any related tenant or any other loan party

with respect to a proposed Transaction, Swingline Transaction or a Purchased Asset, without a Seller Counterparty’s prior consent.

(b) Each Seller Counterparty agrees that it shall, promptly upon reasonable request of Purchaser, deliver (or shall cause to be delivered) to Purchaser and any of its agents, representatives or permitted assigns copies of any documents permitted to be reviewed by Purchaser in accordance with Article 26(a).

(c) Each Seller Counterparty agrees to make available (or to cause any other Seller Party or Servicer, as applicable, to make available) to Purchaser and any of its agents, representatives or permitted assigns (i) in person at the time of any inspection pursuant to Article 26(a) or (ii) upon prior written notice (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case no prior notice shall be required and there shall be no limitation on frequency), by phone, as applicable, a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer or asset manager, as applicable, of Seller, such other Seller Party or Servicer, as the case may be, for the purpose of answering questions about any of the foregoing Persons, or any other matters relating to the Transaction Documents or any Transaction that Purchaser wishes to discuss with such Person.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller Counterparty acknowledges that Purchaser may enter into Transactions with Seller Counterparties based solely upon the information provided by the Seller Counterparties to Purchaser and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Purchaser, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans. Purchaser may underwrite such Purchased Assets and Eligible Swingline Loans itself or engage a third-party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Each Seller Counterparty agrees to cooperate with Purchaser and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Purchaser and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans in the possession, or under the control, of any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof.

(e) Each Seller Counterparty hereby acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser shall have the right to commission and order an Appraisal of any Mortgaged Property at any time and from time to time, provided, however, that no Seller Counterparty shall be responsible for the costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in obtaining more than one Appraisal of any Mortgaged Property in any twelve (12) month period. Each Seller Counterparty shall cooperate with Purchaser in connection with the commission or order of any Appraisal by Purchaser, and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Mortgagor or Mezzanine Borrower to cooperate with Purchaser in obtaining any such Appraisal, including, without limitation, by providing Purchaser with access to the Mortgaged Property.

(f) Each Seller Counterparty agrees to reimburse Purchaser on demand for any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by Purchaser in connection with its due diligence activities pursuant to this Article 26.

ARTICLE 27
SERVICING

(a) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Purchased Assets are sold to Purchaser on a “servicing released” basis and Purchaser is the sole owner of all Servicing Rights so long as the Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller Counterparties shall be granted a revocable license (which license shall automatically be revoked (i) every thirty (30) days unless Purchaser provides written notice to Seller Counterparties that such license is extended for another thirty (30) days, which notice, if given, shall be included in the monthly remittance notice delivered to Account Bank and Servicer, or (ii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default) to cause Servicer to service the Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans, and Seller Counterparties shall, at Seller Counterparties’ sole cost and expense, cause the Servicer to servicer the Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Article 27 and for the benefit of Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller Counterparties shall not take any Significant Modification of any Purchased Asset or Contributed Swingline Loans without first having given prior notice thereof to Purchaser in each such instance and receiving the prior written consent of Purchaser.

(b) The obligation of Servicer (or Seller Counterparties to cause Servicer) to service any of the Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans shall cease, at Purchaser’s option, upon the earliest of (i) Purchaser’s termination of Servicer in accordance with Article 27(c), (ii) Purchaser not extending Seller Counterparties’ revocable licenses in accordance with Article 27(a) or (iii) the transfer of servicing to any other Servicer and the assumption of such servicing by such other Servicer. Each Seller Counterparty agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in connection with any termination of Servicer. Upon any termination of Servicer, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Seller Counterparties shall at its sole cost and expense transfer the servicing of the affected Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans to another Servicer designated by Purchaser as expeditiously as possible.

(c) Purchaser may, in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate Servicer or any sub-servicer with respect to any Purchased Asset or Contributed Swingline Loans (i) upon the occurrence of a default by the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, with respect to the Purchased Assets, Contributed Swingline Loans or Servicer Letter (as applicable) in each case, beyond applicable notice and cure periods, or (ii) during the continuance of an Event of Default, without payment of any penalty or termination fee.

(d) Except as expressly permitted under the Servicing Agreement, Seller Counterparties shall not, and shall not permit Servicer to, employ any other sub-servicers to service the Purchased Assets or Contributed Swingline Loans without the prior written approval of Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed. If the Purchased Assets or Contributed Swingline Loans are serviced by a sub-servicer, Seller Counterparties shall irrevocably assign all rights, title and interest in the servicing agreements with such sub-servicer to Purchaser.

(e) Seller Counterparties shall cause Servicer and any sub-servicer to service the Purchased Assets or Contributed Swingline Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. On the Original Closing Date, Seller caused Servicer (at the request of Purchaser) and

any sub-servicers engaged by Seller Counterparties to execute a letter agreement with Purchaser substantially in the form attached as Exhibit IX hereto (the “Servicer Letter”) acknowledging Purchaser’s security interest in the Purchased Assets or Contributed Swingline Loans and agreeing to remit all Income received with respect to the Purchased Asset and Contributed Swingline Loans to the Collection Account in accordance with Article 5(e) or as otherwise directed by Purchaser in accordance with the Servicer Letter.

(f) Each Seller Counterparty agrees that Purchaser is the owner of all servicing records relating to the Purchased Assets and Contributed Swingline Loans, including but not limited to the Servicing Agreement, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Assets or Contributed Swingline Loans (the “Servicing Records”) so long as the Purchased Assets or Contributed Swingline Loans are subject to this Agreement. Seller Counterparties covenant to (or to cause Servicer to) safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Purchaser or its designee (including the Custodian) at Purchaser’s request.

(g) The payment of servicing fees shall be solely the responsibility of Seller Counterparties.

ARTICLE 28
MISCELLANEOUS

(a) All rights, remedies and powers of Purchaser hereunder and in connection herewith are irrevocable and cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive, and shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies and powers of Purchaser whether under law, equity or agreement. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement, to the extent this Agreement is determined to create a security interest, Purchaser shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.

(b) The Transaction Documents may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

(c) The headings in the Transaction Documents are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of the Transaction Documents.

(d) Each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or be invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

(e) This Agreement together with the other Transaction Documents contains a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to such subject matter, superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

(f) The parties understand that this Agreement is a legally binding agreement that may affect such party’s rights. Each party represents to the other that it has received legal advice from counsel of its choice regarding the meaning and legal significance of this Agreement and that it is satisfied with its legal counsel and the advice received from it.

(g) Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, it is agreed that a court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against any Person by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the Person who itself or through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that all parties have participated in the preparation of this Agreement.

(h) Unless otherwise specifically enumerated, wherever pursuant to this Agreement Purchaser exercises any right given to it to consent or not consent, or to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to, Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion, Purchaser shall decide to consent or not consent, or to approve or disapprove or to decide that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, in its sole and absolute discretion and such decision by Purchaser shall be final and conclusive.

(i) Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that except to the extent of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty) of the Guarantor pursuant to the Guaranty, and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth therein, (a) all obligations of Seller Counterparties under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are recourse obligations solely of Seller Counterparties, and (b) none of the obligations of Seller Counterparties under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are recourse to the Guarantor or any of their Affiliates, subsidiaries, members, partners, officers, directors or personnel.

(j) All information regarding the terms set forth in any of the Transaction Documents, the Transactions, or either party hereto or its Affiliates received in connection with the Transactions (the “Confidential Information”) shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed by either Seller Counterparty or Purchaser to any Person except (a) to the Affiliates of such party or its or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, attorneys, advisors and other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep it confidential, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or Governmental Authority or required by Requirements of Law (including any disclosures required pursuant to any subpoena, legal process or other court or regulatory authority order), (c) to the extent required to be included in the financial statements of either Seller Counterparty or Purchaser or their respective Affiliates, (d) to the extent required to exercise any rights or remedies under the Transaction Documents or Purchased Asset Documents, (e) to the extent required to consummate and administer a Transaction, and (f) to any actual or prospective holder of a Participation Interest or other Person which agrees to comply with this Article 28(j); provided, however, that, except for disclosures made pursuant to clause (f) of this sentence, no such disclosure made with respect to any Transaction Document shall include a copy of such Transaction Document to the extent that a summary would suffice, but if it is necessary for a copy of any Transaction Document to be disclosed, all pricing and other economic terms set forth therein shall be redacted before disclosure. In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to keep confidential all non-public information delivered by or on behalf of Seller Counterparties or either

Guarantor or any of their Affiliates and shall not disclose such information other than as permitted or required pursuant to the foregoing clauses (a) through (f), inclusive, except that, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all such information relating solely to any Purchased Asset and the Collateral, but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any such information relating to Guarantor or any of its Affiliates, shall be automatically excluded from the provisions of this Article 28(j). Notwithstanding anything in this Article 28(j) to the contrary, Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public through no fault of Purchaser or any of its Representatives in violation of this Article 28(j); (ii) is or becomes available to Purchaser or any of its Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller Counterparties not known to Purchaser or its Representatives to be prohibited from disclosing such information by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality after due inquiry; (iii) is independently developed by Purchaser or any of its Representatives without use of or reliance on, either directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information; (iv) was known to or in the possession of Purchaser or any of its Representatives on a non-confidential basis, without appropriate documentary evidence thereof, prior to disclosure by Seller Counterparties.

ARTICLE 29
JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY

(a) Each Seller Counterparty hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Seller Counterparty shall be jointly and severally liable to Purchaser to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities of all of Seller Counterparties hereunder.

(b) Each Seller Counterparty hereby agrees that, to the extent the other party shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, the appropriate Seller Counterparty shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the other Seller Counterparty which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment; provided however, that the provisions of this clause shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Seller Counterparty to Purchaser, and, notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any Seller Counterparty (“Paying Seller”) hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of Paying Seller by Purchaser, Paying Seller shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of Purchaser against any other Seller or any collateral security or guarantee or right of set-off held by Purchaser, nor shall Paying Seller seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any other Seller in respect of payments made by Paying Seller hereunder, until all amounts owing to Purchaser by Seller Counterparties under the Transaction Documents are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to Paying Seller on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all such amounts shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by Paying Seller in trust for Purchaser, segregated from other funds of Paying Seller, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Paying Seller, be turned over to Purchaser in the exact form received by Paying Seller (duly indorsed by the Paying Seller to Purchaser, if required), to be applied against amounts owing to Purchaser by Seller Counterparties under the Transaction Documents, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Purchaser may determine.

(c) Each Seller Counterparty shall remain obligated under this Article 29 notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Seller Counterparty and without notice to or further assent by any Seller Counterparty, any demand by Purchaser for payment of

any amounts owing to Purchaser by any other Seller under the Transaction Documents may be rescinded by Purchaser and any the payment of any such amounts may be continued, and the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of set-off with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by Purchaser, and this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with its terms, as Purchaser may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of set-off at any time held by Purchaser for the payment of amounts owing to Purchaser by Seller Counterparties under the Transaction Documents may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Purchaser shall not have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for amounts owing to Purchaser by Seller Counterparties under the Transaction Documents, or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against any Seller Counterparty, Purchaser may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any the other Seller Counterparty, and any failure by Purchaser to make any such demand or to collect any payments from any other Seller Counterparty, or any release of such other Seller Counterparty shall not relieve any Seller Counterparty in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or Seller Counterparties not so released of their obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of Purchaser against Seller Counterparties. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

(d) Each Seller Counterparty waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any amounts at any time owing to Purchaser by any other Seller Counterparty under the Transaction Documents and notice of or proof of reliance by Purchaser upon any Seller Counterparty or acceptance of the obligations of any Seller Counterparty under this Article 29, and all such amounts, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the obligations of Seller Counterparties under this Article 29; and all dealings between Seller Counterparties, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the obligations of Seller Counterparties under this Article 29. Each Seller Counterparty waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any Seller Counterparty with respect to any amounts at any time owing to Purchaser by any Seller Counterparty under the Transaction Documents, other than such notices as are expressly required to be given under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents. Each Seller Counterparty understands and agrees that it shall continue to be liable under this Article 29 without regard to (i) the validity, regularity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any amounts at any time owing to Purchaser by Seller Counterparties under the Transaction Documents, or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Purchaser, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Seller Counterparty against Purchaser, or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or Knowledge of Seller Counterparties) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Seller Counterparties for any amounts owing to Purchaser by Seller Counterparties

under the Transaction Documents, or of Seller Counterparties under this Agreement, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Seller Counterparty, Purchaser may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Seller Counterparty or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee related thereto or any right of set-off with respect thereto, and any failure by Purchaser to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Seller Counterparty or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Seller Counterparty or any such other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of set-off, shall not relieve any Seller of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Purchaser against any Seller Counterparty.

(e) Anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of any Seller Counterparty hereunder in respect of the liabilities of the other Seller Counterparty under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by each Seller Counterparty under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.
