(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, including Article III, (i) each Class A Lender severally agrees to make loans to the Borrower (each, a “Class A Advance”) on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until but excluding the Termination Date, on a pro rata basis in each case based on and limited to the Percentage applicable to such Class A Lender and, as to all Class A Lenders, in an amount that would not cause the aggregate principal balance of the Class A Advances to exceed the Class A Maximum Available Amount as then in effect and (ii) each Class B Lender severally agrees to make loans to the Borrower (each, a “Class B Advance” and, together with any Class A Advance, an “Advance”) on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until but excluding the Termination Date, on a pro rata basis in each case based on and limited to the Percentage applicable to such Class B Lender and, as to all Class B Lenders, in an amount that would not cause the aggregate principal balance of the Class B Advances to exceed the Class B Maximum Available Amount as then in effect; provided, however, that, in each case, except with respect to the initial Class A Advance hereunder, the aggregate principal amount of any such Advance shall not, by itself or when combined with the principal amounts of all Advances made by the Lenders to the Borrower during the thirty (30) days immediately preceding the proposed Borrowing Date for such Class A Advance or Class B Advance, as applicable, exceed 50% of the Facility Amount. No Lender shall make any Advance or portion thereof if it would cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances to exceed the Maximum Available Amount as then in effect.
(b)    Each such borrowing under this Section 2.01 of an Advance on any single day is referred to herein as a “Borrowing.” Within such limits and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow (and re-borrow) Advances under this Section 2.01 and prepay Advances under Section 2.05.
Section 2.02.    Making of the Advances. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.01, if the Borrower desires to request a Borrowing under this Agreement, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a written notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”) for such Borrowing (which notice shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt) not later than 4:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days prior to the day of the requested Borrowing. A Notice of Borrowing received after 4:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the following Business Day.
Promptly following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.02, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of the amounts of such Lender’s Advance requested to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto, dated the date the request for the related Borrowing is being made, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, shall attach a Maximum Advance Rate Test Calculation Statement and shall otherwise be appropriately completed. The proposed Borrowing Date specified in each Notice of Borrowing shall be a Business Day falling prior to the Termination Date, and the amount of the Borrowing requested in such Notice of Borrowing (the “Requested Amount”) shall be equal to at least $1,000,000 (or, less, if agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion).
Unless otherwise permitted by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, there shall be no more than two (2) Borrowing Dates per calendar week.
-39-


(b)    Funding by Lenders. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, each Lender providing an Advance shall make its Percentage (as such Percentage may be reduced or increased from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof) of the applicable Requested Amount on each Borrowing Date (x) by wire shall transfer of immediately available funds by 11:00 a.m. on such Borrowing Date to the Administrative Agent pursuant to wiring instructions provided by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent will hold and pay such funds to the Borrower by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 4:00 p.m. on such Borrowing Date to the Borrower, on behalf of the Lenders or (y) if requested in writing (email is acceptable) by the Administrative Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m. on such Borrowing Date directly to the Borrower pursuant to wiring instructions provided by the Administrative Agent.
(c)    Presumption by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may not assume that a Lender has made or will make its Percentage of any applicable Requested Amount and shall not be obligated to make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount unless the Administrative Agent has received from all Lenders the funds corresponding to their relevant Percentages with respect to the applicable Requested Amount.
Section 2.03.    Evidence of Indebtedness.
(a)    Maintenance of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to it and resulting from the Advances made by such Lender to the Borrower, from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest thereon and paid to it, from time to time hereunder; provided, however, that in case of a conflict between the records of the Administrative Agent and those of such Lender, the records of the Administrative Agent shall prevail absent manifest error.
(b)    Maintenance of Records by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for calculating and confirming any and all amounts due, interest, compliance with financial covenants, eligibility criteria and each other trigger or rate hereunder and under the other Facility Documents and each such calculation and confirmation shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c)    Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence, absent obvious error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances and other Obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.04.    Payment of Principal, Interest and Certain Fees. The Borrower shall pay principal and Interest on the Advances as follows:
(a)    100% of the outstanding principal amount of each Advance, together with all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Final Maturity Date.
(b)    Class A Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of each Class A Advance from the date of such Class A Advance until such principal amount is paid in full and Class B Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of each Class B Advance from the date of such Class B Advance until such principal amount is paid in full.
(c)    Accrued Class A Interest on each Class A Advance or accrued Class B Interest on each Class B Advance, as applicable, shall be due and payable in arrears (x) on each Payment Date, and (y) in connection with any prepayment in full of the Advances pursuant to Section 2.05(a); provided that (i) with respect to any prepayment in full of the Advances outstanding, accrued Interest on such amount to but excluding the date of prepayment may be payable on such date or as otherwise agreed to between the Lenders and the Borrower and (ii) with respect to any partial prepayment of the Advances outstanding, accrued Interest on such amount to but excluding the date of prepayment shall be payable following such prepayment on the applicable Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments for the Collection Period in which such prepayment occurred.
(d)    Subject to clause (e) below, the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Obligations, including, but not limited to, the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Advances, accrued Interest thereon, to pay the applicable Lenders the Minimum Utilization Fees and Unused Fees, and to pay any other fees as set forth hereunder and in the Fee Letters, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof (including Section 2.14 and Article IX) and thereof, under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against any Secured Party or any other Person (other than a defense that payment was made).
(e)    As a condition to the payment of Interest on any Advance, Class A Interest on any Class A Advance or Class B Interest on any Class B Advance, as applicable, and principal of any Advance, any Minimum Utilization Fees, any Unused Fee and any other amounts due pursuant to the Facility Documents without the imposition of withholding tax, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may require certification acceptable to it to enable the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to deduct or withhold from payments in respect of such Advance under any present or future law or regulation of the United States of America and any other applicable jurisdiction, or any present or future law or regulation of any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or regulation.
(f)    Minimum Utilization Fees shall accrue beginning on the date that is three (3) months following the Closing Date until the Termination Date and shall be payable by the Borrower to the Lenders in arrears on each Payment Date immediately following each Collection Period in accordance
-41-


with the Priority of Payments. Unused Fees shall accrue from the Closing Date until the Termination Date and shall be payable by the Borrower to the Lenders in arrears on each Payment Date.
Section 2.05.    Prepayment of Advances.
(a)    Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day, voluntarily prepay any outstanding Advances in whole or in part, together with all amounts due pursuant to Sections 2.04(c), but without prepayment premiums or additional cost; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders written notice of such prepayment (such notice, a “Notice of Prepayment”) in the form of Exhibit B hereto by no later than 4:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days prior to the day of such prepayment. Any Notice of Prepayment received by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders after 4:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each such Notice of Prepayment shall be irrevocable and effective upon the date received and shall be dated the date such notice is given, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and otherwise appropriately completed. Each prepayment of any Advance by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall in each case be in a principal amount of at least $1,000,000 or, if less, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Advances of the Borrower. If a Notice of Prepayment is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. The Borrower shall make the payment amount specified in such notice by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 11:00 a.m. on the date of prepayment to the account of the Administrative Agent, which will hold the funds on behalf of the Lenders. To the extent payment was made to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent promptly will make such payment amount specified in such notice available to each Lender in the amount of each Lender’s Percentage of the payment amount by wire transfer to such Lender’s account. Any funds for purposes of a voluntary prepayment received by the Administrative Agent after 4:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Borrower may only provide a Notice of Prepayment to prepay Advances that are outstanding on the date such Notice of Prepayment is delivered and may not provide a Notice of Prepayment to prepay any future Advances.
(b)    Additional Prepayment Provisions. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be subject to Sections 2.04(c) and applied to the Advances in accordance with the relevant Lenders’ respective Percentages.
(c)    Interest on Prepaid Advances. The Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid Interest on the Advances that are prepaid on the next Payment Date; provided, however, that in the case of a prepayment of all of the outstanding principal amount of Advances on any date, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid Interest on the date of such prepayment.
Section 2.06.    Prepayment Fee. For the avoidance of doubt, beyond the obligations in Section 2.04 there are no prepayment premiums or additional fees imposed as the result of the Borrower prepaying all, or a portion of, any outstanding Advances.
Section 2.07.    Maximum Lawful Rate. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Interest on the Advances shall not exceed the maximum rate permissible under Applicable Law. Accordingly, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event any Interest is charged to, collected from
-42-


or received from or on behalf of the Borrower by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto in excess of such maximum lawful rate, then the excess of such payment over that maximum shall be applied first to the payment of amounts then due and owing by the Borrower to the Secured Parties under this Agreement (other than in respect of principal of and interest on the Advances) and then to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of the Advances of the Borrower.
Section 2.08.    Several Obligations. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Advance on such date, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the failure of any Lender to make any Advance, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make an Advance to be made by such other Lender.
Section 2.09.    Increased Costs; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation, application or implementation of any Applicable Law after the date hereof, or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or change in the interpretation, application or implementation of any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) after the date hereof, (a “Regulatory Change”):
(i)    shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of interest on the Advances), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of any Affected Person, deposits or obligations with or for the account of any Affected Person or with or for the account of any Affiliate (or entity deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be an Affiliate) of any Affected Person, or credit extended by any Affected Person;

(iii)    shall subject any Affected Person to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
(iv)    shall impose any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting any Advance owned or funded in whole or in part by any Affected Person, or its obligations or rights, if any, to make Advances or to provide funding therefor;
(v)    shall change the rate for, or the manner in which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or a successor thereto) assesses, deposit insurance premiums or similar charges; or
(vi)    shall cause an internal capital or liquidity charge or other imputed cost to be assessed upon any Affected Person which, in the sole discretion of such Affected Person, is allocable to the Borrower or to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
and the result of any of the foregoing is or would be
-43-


(x)    to increase the cost to or to impose a cost on an Affected Person funding or making or maintaining any Advance, or
(y)    to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Person under this Agreement, or
(z)    to reduce the rate of return on the capital of an Affected Person as a consequence of its obligations hereunder,
then within thirty (30) days after demand by such Affected Person (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of such demand and the additional amount required fully to compensate the Affected Person for such increased cost or reduced amount of return), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional or increased cost or such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd Frank Act”); (ii) the revised Basel Accord prepared by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision as set out in the publication entitled “Basel II: International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework,” as updated from time to time (“Basel II”); (iii) the publication entitled “Basel III: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems,” as updated from time to time (“Basel III”), including any publications addressing the liquidity coverage ratio or the supplementary leverage ratio; or (iv) any implementing laws, rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations or directives from any Governmental Authority relating to the Dodd Frank Act, Basel II or Basel III (whether or not having the force of law), and in each case all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to have been introduced after the Closing Date, thereby constituting a Regulatory Change hereunder with respect to the Affected Persons as of the Closing Date, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, and such additional amounts which are sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for such increase in capital or liquidity or reduced return in accordance with the Priority of Payments.
(b)    Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the Borrower’s obligation to pay additional amounts to a Lender pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 2.09 or any amounts in respect of Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 12.03, such Lender will (i) use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office if such designation would reduce or obviate the obligations of the Borrower to make future payments of such additional amounts or Indemnified Taxes; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no unreimbursed cost or material legal or regulatory disadvantage (as reasonably determined by such Lender), with the object of avoiding future consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such provision or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Person would cease to exist or the additional amounts or Indemnified Taxes which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.09 or Section 12.03, as the case may be, would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Advances through such other office or in
-44-


accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Advances or the interests of such Lender.
(c)    Failure or delay on the part of an Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation.
(d)    If any Lender, requests compensation under this Section 2.09 or Section 12.03, or if the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts or amounts in respect of Indemnified Taxes to any such Lender pursuant this Section 2.09 or Section 12.03 and such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with this Section 2.09, or if any such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require, subject to Sections 12.06 and 13.02, such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse, all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to this Section 2.09 and Section 12.03) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Facility Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which, assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) without any premium or termination penalty; provided that such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Facility Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts). A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 2.10.    Alternate Rate of Interest.
(a)    Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 2.10, if:
(i)    the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) with respect to the Term SOFR Rate, prior to the commencement of any Interest Accrual Period, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR Rate (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis for such Interest Accrual Period, or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Daily Simple SOFR; or
(ii)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that (A) with respect to the Term SOFR Rate, prior to the commencement of any Interest Accrual Period, the Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Accrual Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining the Advances at the Term SOFR Rate, or (B) at any time, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Advances bearing interest by reference to Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist
-45-


with respect to the relevant Benchmark, the Advances shall bear interest at (x) so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.10(a) (i) or (ii) above, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, or (y) otherwise, the Base Rate.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Facility Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Facility Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Facility Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Facility Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (1) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Rate) and either (a) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (b) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Accrual Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (2) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (a) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (b) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Accrual Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, the Administrative Agent 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 Facility Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Facility Document.
(d)    The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, and (iv)
-46-


the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.10(d), 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 its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Facility Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.10(d).
(e)    Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, and at all times during the continuation of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Advances will bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

Subject to the Security Agreement, and without limiting its obligation to maintain and protect the Administrative Agent’s first priority security interest in the Collateral, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record financing statements (including financing statements describing the Collateral as “all assets” or the equivalent) and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as are
-58-


necessary to perfect the security interests of the Administrative Agent under the Security Agreement under each method of perfection required therein with respect to the Collateral, provided, that the Administrative Agent does not assume any obligation of the Borrower to maintain and protect its security interest under the Security Agreement.

(e)    Access to Records and Documents.
(i)    Upon reasonable advance written notice and during normal business hours, the Borrower shall permit the Administrative Agent, jointly with any Lender (or any Person designated by the Administrative Agent or such Lender) to visit and inspect and make copies thereof at reasonable intervals and conduct evaluations and appraisals of the Borrower’s and the Servicer’s, as applicable, computation of the Borrowing Base and the assets sold by the Seller included in the Borrowing Base and the components of the Monthly Report (including cash receipt and application and calculation of ratios), but in any event no more than once during any fiscal year of the Borrower (or as often and at any time in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent following the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default), of (x) the Borrower’s books, records and accounts relating to its business, financial condition, operations, assets, the Collateral and its performance under the Facility Documents and the Related Documents and to discuss the foregoing with its and such Person’s officers, partners, employees and accountants, (y)  all of the Related Documents, including access to each electronic portal maintained by the Borrower or any third-party service provider and (z) a list of all Receivables then owned by the Borrower, together with the Servicer’s reconciliation of such list to that set forth in each of the Monthly Reports, indicating the cumulative addition, subtraction and repurchase of Receivables under the Receivable Purchase Agreement.

(j)    Tax Matters. The Borrower shall (and each Lender hereby agrees to) treat the Class A Advances as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and will take no contrary position except to the extent required by a change in Applicable Law occurring after the date hereof, a closing agreement with an applicable tax authority or a final judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction.

If for any reason the Borrower, the Servicer or any of the Servicer’s Affiliates receives any Collections, the Borrower the Servicer or such Servicer’s Affiliate, as applicable, shall deposit such Collections into the Collection Account as soon as practicable, and in any event, within two (2) Business Days, following actual knowledge of the receipt and identification thereof. Any such Collections received by the Borrower, the Servicer or such Servicer’s Affiliate while in the possession of the Borrower, the Servicer or such Servicer’s Affiliate shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Borrower shall ensure that no Person, other than as contemplated by and subject to this Agreement, has been granted dominion and control of the Collection Account, or the right to take dominion and control of the Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event; provided, however, that the Borrower may permit the Servicer and the Backup Servicer to have access to the Collection Account pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and the Backup Servicing Agreement.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and, to the extent applicable, the other Facility Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, subject to the terms hereof. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Facility Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties or obligations or liabilities on the part of the Administrative Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Facility Document to which the Administrative Agent is a party (if any) as duties on its part to be performed or observed.

As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Facility Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent, in its judgment, to personal liability, cost or expense or which is contrary to this Agreement, the other Facility Documents or Applicable Law, or would be, in its judgment, contrary to its duties hereunder, under any other Facility Document or under Applicable Law. Each Lender agrees that in any instance in which the Facility Documents provide that the Administrative Agent’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld, provide for the exercise of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, or provide to a similar effect, it shall not in its instructions (or, by refusing to provide instruction) to the Administrative Agent withhold its consent or exercise its discretion in an unreasonable manner.
Section 11.02.    Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Facility Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
Section 11.03.    Agent’s Reliance, Etc.

-78-


jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or any Servicer or any of their Affiliates) and independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Secured Party or any other Person and, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any Person for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Facility Documents; (iii) shall not have any duty to monitor, ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, the other Facility Documents or any Related Documents on the part of the Borrower or any Servicer or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or such Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Collateral, this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, any Related Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens on the Collateral; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document by relying on, acting upon (or by refraining from action in reliance on) any notice, consent, certificate (including for the avoidance of doubt, the Monthly Report), instruction or waiver, report, statement, opinion, direction or other instrument or writing (which may be delivered by email) believed by it to be genuine and believe by it to be signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume the due authority of any signatory and genuineness of any signature appearing on any instrument or document it may receive (including each Notice of Borrowing received hereunder). The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action (including for refusing to exercise discretion or for withholding its consent in the absence of its receipt of, or resulting from a failure, delay or refusal on the part of the Required Lenders, to provide, written instruction to exercise such discretion or grant such consent from the Required Lenders) except as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment that it was the result of the Administrative Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the relevant facts. Nothing herein or in any Facility Documents or Related Documents shall obligate the Administrative Agent to advance, expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action which in its
-79-


reasonable judgment may cause it to incur any expense or financial or other liability for which it is not adequately indemnified. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action. The Administrative Agent shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of any matter unless actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Agent, or unless and to the extent written notice of such matter is received by the Administrative Agent at its address in accordance with Section 12.02. Any permissive grant of power to the Administrative Agent hereunder shall not be construed to be a duty to act. The Administrative Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper or document. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except as shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment that it was the result of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations imposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters.
Section 11.04.    Indemnification.

Section 11.05.    Successor Administrative Agent. Subject to the terms of this Section 11.05, the Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion at any time upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower.

If for any reason a successor agent is not so appointed and does not accept such appointment within thirty (30) days of notice of resignation the Administrative Agent may appoint a successor agent. The
-80-


appointment of any successor Administrative Agent shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the consent of the Borrower to any such appointment shall not be required if (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing or, (ii) if such successor Administrative Agent is a Lender or an Affiliate of such Administrative Agent or any Lender. Any resignation of the Administrative Agent shall be effective upon the appointment of a successor agent pursuant to this Section 11.05. After the effectiveness of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents and the provisions of this Article XI shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents. Any Person (i) into which the Administrative Agent may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Administrative Agent shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Administrative Agent substantially as a whole, shall be the successor to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
Section 11.07.    Certain ERISA Matters.
(a)    Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
(i)    such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances or this Agreement,
(ii)    the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances and this Agreement,
-81-


(iii)    (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Advances and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances and this Agreement, or
(iv)    such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
(b)    In addition, unless either (1) clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Facility Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
Section 11.08.    Erroneous Payments.
(a)    If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or another, Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or another a Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds
-82-


Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b)    Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part):
(i)    (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii)    such Lender or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.08(b).
(c)    Each Lender and other Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, or Secured Party under any Facility Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clauses (a) and (b) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d)    In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Payment Recipient at any time, (i) such Payment Recipient, if a Lender, shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its commitments) of the relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance (and such Lender shall deliver any notes evidencing such Advances to the Administrative Agent), (ii) the Administrative Agent as the
-83-


assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advances (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the commitments, if any, of any Lender and such commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Advances (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or other Secured Party under the Facility Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency.
(e)    The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof.
(f)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g)    Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 11.08 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Facility Document.
ARTICLE XII

Miscellaneous
Section 12.01.    No Waiver; Modifications in Writing. (a) No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Party exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Any waiver of any
-84-


provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by any party to this Agreement from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b)    No amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, provided that:
(i)    subject to clause (iii) below, any Fundamental Amendment shall require the written consent of each Lender;
(ii)    no such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties, immunities or liabilities of the Administrative Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent; and
(iii)    the parties acknowledge and agree that increases in (A) the Class A Facility Amount (x) may be allocated at the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion not on a pro-rata basis among the Class A Lenders and (y) shall be agreed to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Class A Lenders providing such increased Class A Facility Amount or any new Class A Lender joining this Agreement (subject to the requirements of Section 13.02) and (B) the Class B Facility Amount (x) may be allocated at the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion not on a pro-rata basis among the Class B Lenders and (y) shall be agreed to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Class B Lenders providing such increased Class B Facility Amount or any new Class B Lender joining this Agreement (subject to the requirements of Section 13.02). Any such increases in the Facility Amount will be set forth in amendments to this Agreement executed solely by the parties listed in clause (iii)(A)(y) and clause (iii)(B)(y) above, as applicable.
Section 12.02.    Notices, Etc. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices and other communications hereunder to any party shall be in writing and sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, by overnight delivery service, with all charges prepaid, by hand delivery, or by e-mail, to such party’s address or e-mail address set forth in Schedule 3 hereto, or at such other address or e-mail address as such party may hereafter specify in a notice given in the manner required under this Section 12.02. All such notices and correspondence shall be deemed given (a) if sent by certified or registered mail, three (3) Business Days after being postmarked, (b) if sent by overnight delivery service or by hand delivery, when received at the above stated addresses or when delivery is refused and (c) if sent by electronic transmission, upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement). To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby irrevocably consents and agrees to the service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents out of any courts in any action, suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement by serving a copy thereof upon the Borrower or by mailing copies thereof by regular or overnight mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address specified in Schedule 3. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any notices required to be delivered and sent to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to distribute a copy thereof to the Lenders as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that to the extent a Lender
-85-


receives any such notice from the Borrower, Holdings, the Permitted Holder or any other Person, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have complied with this sentence.
Section 12.03.    Taxes. (a) For purposes of this Section 12.03, the term Applicable Law includes FATCA.
(b)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement and any other Facility Document shall be made, in accordance with this Agreement or the related Facility Document, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If the Borrower or Administrative Agent shall be required by Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower or Administrative Agent, as applicable) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable by it hereunder or under any other Facility Document to any Secured Party, then the Borrower or Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such payment is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 12.03) such Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholding been made.
(c)    In addition, the Borrower agrees to timely pay any present or future stamp, sales, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Facility Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or under any other Facility Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.09(d)) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(d)    The Borrower agrees to indemnify each of the Secured Parties, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes, including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 12.03 payable by such Secured Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Secured Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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 the Borrower by a Secured Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Secured Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)    As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 12.03, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof (or a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of payment as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).
(f)    If any payment is made by the Borrower to or for the account of any Secured Party after deduction for or on account of any Taxes, and an indemnity payment or additional amounts are
-86-


paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 12.03, then, if such Secured Party, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, determines that it has received a refund of such Taxes (any such refund a “Tax Benefit”), such Secured Party shall reimburse to the Borrower such amount of any Tax Benefit received (net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred) as such Secured Party shall determine in its sole discretion to be attributable to the relevant Taxes; provided that in the event that such Secured Party is required to repay such Tax Benefit to the relevant taxing authority, the Borrower agrees to return the refund to such Secured Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Secured Party be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Secured Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Secured Party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such Tax Benefit had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.
(g)    Status of Lender.
(i)    Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Facility Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (g)(ii) and (g)(iii) of this Section) shall not be required if in the reasonable judgment of the Lender such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of clause (i), each Lender that is a “United States person” as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S. Person”) hereby agrees that it shall, no later than the Closing Date or, in the case of a Lender which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 12.06, the date upon which such Lender becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, if applicable, two accurate, complete and executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor form, certifying that such Lender is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.
(iii)    Without limiting the generality of clause (i), each Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, no later than the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of properly
-87-


completed and duly executed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W 8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, with respect to payments of interest hereunder, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty, and establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business” profits or “other income” article of such treaty, with respect to any other applicable payments hereunder. In addition, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, such Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), no later than the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code) substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”), and such Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in the event any such certificate is no longer accurate. In addition, to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, such Non-U.S. Lender shall also provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable, provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender designates a new lending office. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms as promptly as practicable after receipt of a written request therefor from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.03, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 12.03(g) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.
(iv)    Each Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 12.03(g) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
-88-


(h)    If any Secured Party requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to such Secured Party or any taxing Governmental Authority for the account of such Secured Party or to indemnify such Secured Party pursuant to this Section 12.03, then such Secured Party shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 12.03 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Secured Party to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Secured Party. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(i)    Nothing in this Section 12.03 shall be construed to require any Secured Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
(j)    Compliance with FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (j), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(k)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 12.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all amounts owing under any Facility Document.
Section 12.04.    Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer (following a Backup Servicing Event), the Collection Account Bank, the Custodian, and the other Lenders in connection with the preparation, review, negotiation, reproduction, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel for each of the Administrative Agent, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer (following a Backup Servicing Event), the Collection Account Bank, the Custodian, and the other Lenders and any auditors, accountants, consultants, appraisers or other professional advisors and agents engaged by the Administrative Agent; UCC filing fees and all other related fees and expenses in connection therewith; and in connection with any modification or
-89-


amendment of this Agreement or any other Facility Document provided, however, that the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees of Chapman and Cutler LLP, as counsel to the Administrative Agent and Initial Class A Lender, on or prior to the Closing Date (but not thereafter), shall not exceed the Closing Date Legal Fee Cap. Further, subject to the Priority of Payments, the Borrower shall pay (A) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including all reasonable and documented fees, expenses and disbursements of legal counsel), and any auditors, accountants, consultants or appraisers or other professional advisors and agents engaged by the Administrative Agent and incurred by the Administrative Agent in the preparation, execution, delivery, filing, recordation, administration, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any consent, amendment, waiver or other modification relating thereto, (B) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of creating, perfecting, releasing or enforcing the Administrative Agent’s security interests in the Collateral, including filing and recording fees, expenses and Other Taxes, search fees, and title insurance premiums, and (C) after the occurrence of any Event of Default, all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties in connection with the preservation, collection, foreclosure or enforcement of the Collateral subject to the Facility Documents or any interest, right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties or in connection with the collection or enforcement of any of the Obligations or the proof, protection, administration or resolution of any claim based upon the Obligations in any insolvency proceeding, including all reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of attorneys, accountants, auditors, consultants, appraisers and other professionals engaged by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties. Without prejudice to its rights hereunder, the expenses and the compensation for the services of the Administrative Agent are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable bankruptcy law.

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Facility Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or
-94-


the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Facility Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person.

Section 12.21.    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Facility Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for hedging agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with this Section 12.21 applicable notwithstanding that the Facility Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York or of the U.S. or any other state of the U.S.) that in the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the U.S. or a state of the U.S. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Facility Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could
-95-


be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Facility Documents were governed by the laws of the U.S. or a state of the U.S.

Section 13.01.    Syndication. The Lenders may at any time sell, assign or participate any portion or all of the Advances and the Facility Documents to one or more Persons subject to the terms and conditions of this Article XIII.
Section 13.02.    Assignment of Advances, Participations and Servicing, Appointment of Agent. (a) The Lenders may, at their individual option, sell and assign all or any part of their right, title and interest in, and to, and under the Advances and this Agreement, on a pro rata basis, in the sole discretion of such Lender, subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (the “Syndication”) and the Borrower (such consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and, in any event, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if (A) an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing or (B) in the case of an assignment to an existing Lender or Participant or an Affiliate of an existing Lender or Participant), to one or more additional lenders; provided, however, that no assignment shall be made to (x) a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person), or (y) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates. Each additional Lender shall enter into an Assignment and Acceptance whereby the existing Lender (the “Assigning Lender”) assigns to such new Lender a portion of its rights under the Advances, and pursuant to which the new Lender accepts such assignment. From and after the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance (i) each new Lender shall be a party hereto and to each applicable Facility Document to the extent of the applicable percentage or percentages and, if applicable, priorities, set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance and, except as specified otherwise herein, shall succeed to the rights of the Assigning Lender hereunder in respect of the Advances, and (ii) the Assigning Lender shall, to the extent such rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Facility Documents.
The liabilities of each of the Lenders shall be several and not joint, and any Lender’s Percentage shall be reduced by the amount of each such Assignment and Acceptance. No Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Lender.
(b)    The Borrower agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate, in connection with any sale of all or any portion of the Advances permitted under Section 13.02(a), whether in whole or to an additional Lender or Participant, to furnish to Administrative Agent, any information as reasonably requested by any additional Lender or Participant in performing its due diligence in connection with its purchase of an interest in the Advances.
(c)    The Borrower acknowledges that the Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to execute and perform this Agreement and each Facility Document on behalf of itself and as agent for the Secured Parties. The Lenders acknowledge that the Administrative Agent
-97-


shall retain the exclusive right to grant approvals and give consents required to be delivered hereunder. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower shall have no obligation to recognize or deal directly with any Lender, and no Lender shall have any right to deal directly with the Borrower with respect to the rights, benefits and obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Facility Documents or any one or more documents or instruments in respect thereof, except as explicitly provided herein or therein. The Borrower may rely conclusively on the actions of the Administrative Agent to bind the Lenders, notwithstanding that the particular action in question may, pursuant to this Agreement be subject to the consent or direction of some or all of the Lenders.
(d)    Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein and no covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities of the Administrative Agent shall be implied by or inferred from this Agreement or any other Facility Document, or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent.
(e)    Except to the extent its obligations hereunder and its interest in the Advances have been assigned pursuant to one or more Assignments and Acceptances, if the Administrative Agent is also a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, respectively. The Lenders and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, or any Affiliate of the Borrower and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, all as if they were not serving in such capacities hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to each other.
(f)    If required by any Lender, the Borrower hereby agrees to execute notes in the principal amount of such Lender’s Percentage of the Advances, and such note shall (i) be payable to order of such Lender, (ii) be dated as of the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance (or, if later, the date that such Lender became a Lender hereunder), and (iii) mature on the Termination Date. Such note shall provide that it evidences a portion of the existing Obligations hereunder and not any new or additional indebtedness of the Borrower.
(g)    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be made available by the Administrative Agent for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time, upon reasonable prior written request to the Administrative Agent.
(h)    Any Lender may at any time, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (such consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and, in any event, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if (x) an Event of
-98-


Default shall have occurred and is continuing or (y) in the case of an assignment to an existing Lender or Participant or an Affiliate of an existing Lender or Participant), sell participations to any Person (other than (A) a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person), or (B) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the payments made under Section 2.09 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).
(i)    Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 12.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09, 12.03 and 12.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 12.03(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 12.03(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.09 or 12.03, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in Applicable Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Facility Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Facility Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) and proposed Section 1.163-5 of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(j)    Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement or in the Collateral pledged to it under the Security Agreement (including, without limitation, amounts owing
-99-


or assets pledged to it), including, without limitation, to any Federal Reserve Bank as a secured party in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and any transfer restrictions under this Section 13.02 shall not apply to any Federal Reserve Bank as the secured party in connection with any such security interest; provided that no such security interest or the exercise by the secured party of any of its rights thereunder shall release such Lender from its funding obligations hereunder.
(k)    The Borrower agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, upon reasonable request, in completing a Syndication. Such assistance may include (i) direct contact between senior management and advisors of the Borrower and the proposed Lenders, (ii) assistance in the preparation of a confidential information memorandum and other marketing materials to be used in connection with the Syndication, (iii) the hosting, with the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, of one or more meetings of prospective Lenders or with the credit rating agencies, (iv) the delivery of appraisals reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent if required, and (v) working with the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to procure a rating for the Advances by the credit rating agencies. Any costs or expenses incurred by the Borrower in connection with a Syndication shall be paid by the Lenders.
