5

(e) Neither the Purchaser nor any assignee of the Purchaser (including the Secured Parties) shall have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or client of the Seller (including any obligation to perform any obligation of the Seller, including with respect to any other related agreements) in respect of the Sale Portfolio (other than with respect to obligations of lenders generally under the Related Documents (to the extent relating to the Sale Portfolio), all of which shall solely be obligations of the Purchaser and not any of the Secured Parties). Except as provided above, no such obligation or liability is intended to be assumed by the Purchaser or any assignee of the Purchaser (including the Secured Parties) and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed.

(f) In accordance with the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, certain documents relating to the Sale Portfolio shall be delivered to and held in trust by the Custodian for the benefit of the Purchaser and its assignees, and the Purchaser hereby instructs the Seller to cause such documents to be delivered to the Custodian.

(g) The Seller shall provide all information, and any other reasonable assistance, to the Custodian, the Servicer and the Collateral Agent necessary for the Custodian, the Servicer and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to conduct the management, administration and collection of the Sale Portfolio Purchased hereunder in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement.

(i) The Seller further agrees to deliver to the Purchaser on or before each Purchase Date a computer file containing a true, complete and correct list of all Loan Assets to be Sold hereunder on such Purchase Date, identified by the related Obligor’s name and Principal Balance as of such Purchase Date. Such file or list shall be marked as “Schedule I” to the applicable Loan Assignment and shall be delivered to the Purchaser as confidential and proprietary, and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of Schedule I, as Schedule I may be supplemented and amended from time to time.

(j) The Seller shall, at all times, continue to fulfill its obligations pertaining to any Retained Interest.

Section 2.2. Purchase Price. The purchase price for each item of Sale Portfolio Sold to the Purchaser hereunder (the “Purchase Price”) shall be in the Permitted Currency under which the applicable Loan Asset is denominated or the Dollar Equivalent of the Permitted Currency under which the applicable Loan Asset is denominated and in an amount equal to the fair market value of such Loan Asset as determined from time to time by the Seller and the Purchaser.

Section 2.3. Payment of Purchase Price.

(a) The Purchase Price for any Sale Portfolio Sold by the Seller to the Purchaser on any Purchase Date shall be paid in a combination of: (i) immediately available funds; and (ii) if the Purchaser does not have sufficient funds to pay the full amount of the Purchase Price (after taking into account the proceeds the Purchaser expects to receive from the Advances under the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement), by means of a capital contribution by the Seller to the Purchaser.

(b) The portion of such Purchase Price to be paid in immediately available funds shall be paid by wire transfer on the applicable Purchase Date to an account designated by the Seller on or before such Purchase Date or by means of proper accounting entries being entered upon the accounts and records of the Seller and the Purchaser on the applicable Purchase Date.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Seller may on any Purchase Date elect to designate all or a portion of the Sale Portfolio proposed to be transferred to the Purchaser on such date as a capital contribution to the Purchaser. In such event, the Purchase Price payable with respect to such transfer shall be reduced by that portion of the Purchase Price attributable to the Sale Portfolio that was so contributed; provided that, Loan Assets contributed to the Purchaser as capital shall constitute part of the Sale Portfolio for all purposes of this Agreement. To the extent that the cash purchase price paid by Purchaser to Seller for any Sale Portfolio is less than the fair market value of such Sale Portfolio, the difference will be deemed to be a capital contribution made by the Seller to Purchaser.

(d) In connection with each delivery of a Loan Assignment, the Seller hereunder shall be deemed to have certified, with respect to the Sale Portfolio to be Sold by it on such day, that its representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such day, with the same effect as though made on and as of such day (other than any representation or warranty that is made as of a specific date in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects as of such specific date).

(e) Upon the payment of the Purchase Price for any Purchase, title to the Sale Portfolio included in such Purchase shall vest in the Purchaser, whether or not the conditions precedent to such Purchase and the other covenants and agreements contained herein were in fact satisfied; provided that the Purchaser shall not be deemed to have waived any claim it may have under this Agreement for the failure by the Seller in fact to satisfy any such condition precedent, covenant or agreement.

Section 2.4. Nature of the Sales.

(a) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Sale of the Sale Portfolio by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder be, and be treated for all purposes (other than tax and accounting purposes) as an absolute sale by the Seller (free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens)) of such Sale Portfolio. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such Sale be deemed a pledge of the Sale Portfolio by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Sale Portfolio is held to continue to be property of the Seller, then the parties hereto agree that: (i) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be, and hereby is, a “security agreement” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC; (ii) the transfer of the Sale Portfolio provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of, and the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority (subject only to Permitted Liens) security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Sale Portfolio and all amounts payable to the holders of the Sale Portfolio in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Covered Accounts, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of the Sale Portfolio together with all of the other obligations of the Seller hereunder; (iii) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian, for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of the Sale Portfolio and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be, subject to clause (iv), for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC; and (iv) acknowledgements from Persons holding such property shall be deemed acknowledgements from custodians, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under Applicable Law. The parties further agree in such event that any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Purchaser shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other Applicable Law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

(b) It is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the Sale Portfolio Sold by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute assets owned by the Purchaser and shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy or similar law.

(c) The Purchaser agrees to treat for all purposes (other than tax and accounting purposes), the transactions effected by this Agreement as sales of assets to the Purchaser. The Seller agrees to reflect in the Seller’s financial records and to include a note in the annual and quarterly financial statements of the Seller indicating that ownership of any Sale Portfolio Sold to the Purchaser has been conveyed by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.

8

Section 2.5. Administrative Convenience. The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, solely for administrative convenience, the Seller may direct that a Loan Asset be titled directly into the name of the Purchaser, and/or that any document or assignment agreement (or, in the case of any original promissory note, any chain of endorsement) required to be executed and delivered in connection with (a) the acquisition of a Loan Asset as a lender at the closing thereof may be executed and delivered directly by the Purchaser at the direction of the Seller or (b) the transfer of a Loan Asset in accordance with the terms of the Related Documents may reflect that the Seller (or any affiliate of either thereof or any third party from whom the Seller may purchase a Loan Asset) is assigning such Loan Asset directly to the Purchaser. Nothing in any such document or assignment agreement (or, in the case of any original promissory note, nothing in such chain of endorsement) shall be deemed to impair the transfers of the related Loan Asset by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The Sale Portfolio to be acquired by Purchaser hereunder is owned by the Seller free and clear of any Lien (subject only to Permitted Liens), and the Seller has the full right, corporate power and lawful authority to Sell the same and interests therein and, upon the Sale thereof hereunder, the Purchaser will have acquired good and marketable title to and a valid and perfected ownership interest in such Sale Portfolio, free and clear of any Lien (subject only to Permitted Liens). No effective financing statement reflecting the Seller or the Seller’s predecessor in interest, as a “Debtor”, or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of any Sale Portfolio Purchased hereunder is on file in any recording office, except such as may have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent as “Secured Party” or “Assignee”, in each case, for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement.

All information heretofore furnished by or on behalf of the Seller to the Purchaser or any assignee thereof in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby is accurate, true and correct in all material respects and does not omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in any material respect; provided that, solely with respect to written or electronic information furnished by or on behalf of the Seller which was provided to the Seller from an Obligor with respect to a Loan Asset, such information shall only need to be accurate, true and correct in all material respects to the actual knowledge of the Seller.

(r) ERISA Compliance. The present value of all benefits vested under each “employee pension benefit plan”, as such term is defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA other than a Multiemployer Plan, that is subject to Title IV of ERISA and is sponsored or maintained by the Seller or any member of its ERISA Group, or to which the Seller or any member of its ERISA Group, contributes or has an obligation to contribute or has any liability (each, a “Pension Plan”) does not exceed the value of the assets of the Pension Plan allocable to such vested benefits (based on the value of such assets as of the last annual valuation date) determined in accordance

13

with the assumptions used for funding such Pension Plan pursuant to Sections 412 and 430 of the Code. No prohibited transactions, failure to meet the minimum funding standard set forth in Section 302(a) of ERISA and Section 412(a) of the Code (with respect to any Pension Plan other than a Multiemployer Plan), withdrawals or reportable events have occurred with respect to any Pension Plan that, in the aggregate, could subject the Seller to any material Tax, penalty or other liability. No notice of intent to terminate a Pension Plan has been filed, nor has any Pension Plan been terminated under Section 4041(f) of ERISA, nor has the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation instituted proceedings to terminate, or appoint a trustee to administer, a Pension Plan and no event has occurred or condition exists that would constitute grounds under Section 4042 of ERISA for the termination of, or the appointment of a trustee to administer, any Pension Plan.

(s) Intent of the Seller. The Seller has not sold, contributed, transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed any interest in any Sale Portfolio to the Purchaser with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the Seller’s creditors.

(v) Special Purpose Entity. The Purchaser is an entity with assets and liabilities separate and distinct from those of the Seller and any Affiliates thereof, and the Seller hereby acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties are entering into the transactions contemplated by the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement in reliance upon the Purchaser’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from the Seller and from each other Affiliate of the Seller. Therefore, from and after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller shall take all reasonable steps, including all steps that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request, to maintain the Purchaser’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it manifest to third parties that the Purchaser is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Seller and each other Affiliate thereof and not just a division of the Seller or any such other Affiliate (other than for tax purposes). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, the Seller shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that the Purchaser has not and will not take, refrain from taking, or fail to take (as applicable) any action described in Section 1.7 of its limited liability company agreement.

(w) Sale Agreement. This Agreement and the Loan Assignments (together with any assignment documents evidencing the assignment of each Loan Asset in accordance with the Related Documents) contemplated herein are the only agreements or arrangements pursuant to which the Seller Sells the Sale Portfolio Sold by it to the Purchaser.

The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Seller that include a description of collateral covering the Sale Portfolio other than any financing statement (x) relating to the security interest granted to the Purchaser under this Agreement, or (y) that has been terminated and/or fully and validly assigned to the Collateral Agent on or prior to the date hereof. The Seller is not aware of the filing of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Seller.

The Seller acknowledges that all Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds received by it or its Affiliates with respect to the Sale Portfolio Purchased by the Purchaser as contemplated by this Agreement are held and shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser (or its assignees) until deposited into the Collection Account as required by the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement.

(z) Ownership of the Purchaser. The Seller owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the membership interests of the Purchaser, free and clear of any Lien except for the Permitted Equity Pledge. Other than the Permitted Equity Pledge, such membership interests are validly issued, fully paid and non–assessable, and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire membership interests of the Purchaser.

15

(aa) Anti-Corruption Laws and Anti-Terrorism Laws. None of the Seller, its subsidiaries, directors or officers, or, to the best knowledge of the Seller, any affiliate, agent or employee of it, has engaged in any activity or conduct which would violate any applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption, anti-terrorism or anti-money laundering laws, regulations or rules in any applicable jurisdiction and the Seller has instituted and maintains policies and procedures designed to prevent violation of such laws, regulations and rules.

(bb) Sanctions.

(cc) Opinion. The statements of fact in the section heading “Description of the Transaction” in each of the non-consolidation opinion and true sale opinion (the “Non-Consolidation/True Sale Opinion”) of Dechert LLP, dated as of the Closing Date are true and correct in all respects.

(dd) Full Payment. As of the related Purchase Date for a particular Loan Asset, the Seller has no knowledge of any fact which should lead it to expect that such Loan Asset will not be paid in full.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties provided in this Section 4.1 shall survive (x) the Sale of the Sale Portfolio to the Purchaser and (y) the grant of a first priority perfected security interest in, to and under the Sale Portfolio pursuant to the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement by the Purchaser.

The Seller will pay, perform and discharge all of its obligations and liabilities, including all Taxes, assessments and governmental charges upon its income and properties, when due, unless and only to the extent that such obligations, liabilities, Taxes, assessments and governmental charges shall be contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and that, to the extent required by GAAP, proper and adequate book reserves relating thereto are established by the Seller and then only to the extent that a bond is filed in cases where the filing of a bond is necessary to avoid the creation of a Lien against any of its properties.

In the event of the occurrence of a Seller Purchase Event, the Seller will within twenty (20) Business Days of the discovery by or notice (from any Person) to the Seller of the Seller Purchase Event, (i) purchase each Loan Asset hereunder which is affected by or related to such Seller Purchase Event from the Purchaser, and the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser (by means of a deposit to the Collection Account) the Repurchase Price of such Loan Asset as of the date of the purchase thereof from the Purchaser or (ii) with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 6.2, substitute for such Loan Asset a Substitute Eligible Collateral Loan. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to purchase the Loan Assets or substitute a Substitute Eligible Collateral Loan for the Loan Assets which are affected by or related to such Seller Purchase Event is not intended to, and shall not, constitute a guaranty of the collectability or payment of any Loan Asset which is not collected, not paid or uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or financial inability to pay of the related Obligor. Upon deposit in the Collection Account of the Repurchase Price for any Loan Asset purchased by the Seller pursuant to this Section 6.1, the Purchaser shall, automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer, assign and set over to the Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind, except as to the absence of Liens created by or arising solely as a result of actions of the Purchaser or the Collateral Agent, all the right, title and interest of the Purchaser, in, to and under such Loan Asset and all future monies due or to become due with respect thereto, the underlying collateral, all Proceeds of such Loan Asset and recoveries and insurance proceeds (if any) relating thereto, all rights to security for such Loan Asset and all Proceeds and products of the foregoing. In the event that the Seller has notified the Purchaser that the Seller is incapable of paying the Repurchase Price or substituting the Loan Asset for a Substitute Eligible Collateral Loan, then such Loan Asset shall remain with the Purchaser (as a part of the Sale Portfolio) until the Seller deposits the Repurchase Price into the Collection Account or replaces such Loan Asset with a Substitute Eligible Collateral Loan. The Purchaser shall (and shall request the Collateral Agent to), at the sole expense of the Seller, execute such documents and instruments of transfer as may be prepared by the Seller and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Seller in order to effect the transfer of such Loan Asset pursuant to this Section 6.1. Such Sale shall be a sale outright, and not for security.

Section 6.2. Substitution of Loan Assets.

(a) The Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, subject to the terms and conditions of the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, to substitute one or more Eligible Collateral Loans (“Substitute Eligible Collateral Loan”) for a Loan Asset (each such act, a “Substitution”).

(b) The Substitution shall not occur unless the following conditions are satisfied as of the date of such Substitution:

25

(i) the Purchaser (or the Servicer on its behalf) has recommended to the Seller that the Loan Asset to be replaced should be replaced (each, a “Replaced Loan Asset”);

(ii) each Substitute Eligible Collateral Loan is an Eligible Collateral Loan on the date of Substitution;

(iii) subject to Section 2.02 of the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have approved of the Approval Request for such Substitute Eligible Collateral Loan and such approval has not expired or been rescinded; and

(iv) all representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of Substitution (other than any representation and warranty that is made as of a specific date in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such specific date).

(c) On the date any such Substitution is completed, the Purchaser shall, automatically and without further action, release and shall transfer to the Seller, free and clear of any Lien created pursuant to this Agreement, all of the right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under such Replaced Loan Asset, and the Purchaser shall be deemed to represent and warrant that it has the limited liability company authority and has taken all necessary limited liability company action to accomplish such transfer, but without any other representation and warranty, express or implied.

Section 6.3. Repurchase Limitations. The Seller and the Purchaser agree that the Seller and any Affiliate of the Seller may repurchase any Sale Portfolio from the Purchaser only in the case of a repurchase or Substitution of any Sale Portfolio pursuant to Sections 6.1 or 6.2 and only if the requirements set forth in Section 10.04 of the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement have been satisfied (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not apply in respect of a repurchase in accordance with Section 6.1).

28

(ix) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or the use of proceeds by the Seller or the security interest in the Sale Portfolio granted hereunder;
