Each Request for Borrowing must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York time, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date;provided that, if any Eligible Assets are proposed to added to the Collateral in connection with such borrowing, the foregoing five (5) Business Day period shall be extended by the number of Business Days required for the Administrative Agent to complete its review of such Eligible Assets as provided inSection 2.4(d) below; andprovided,further that, if the requested Borrowing Date is the date hereof, a Request for Borrowing must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the date hereof.

Following receipt of a Pledged Asset Schedule, a complete Underwriting Package and true and correct copies of the documents comprising a substantially complete Collateral File for each proposed Eligible Asset, Administrative Agent shall have the right to review each Eligible Asset proposed to be including in the Borrowing Base and conduct its own due diligence investigation of such Eligible Asset in a manner determined by Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion.

(f) On the applicable Borrowing Date, Borrower shall release to the Custodian no later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, on such Borrowing Date, the Collateral File pertaining to each Eligible Asset to be added to the Collateral as additional security for the Secured Obligations, all in accordance with the Custodial Agreement, together with a Custodial Delivery Letter and a Pledged Asset Schedule. Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, Custodian shall deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower a Pledged Asset Schedule and an Exception Report with respect to the Eligible Assets which Borrower has requested be included in the Borrowing Base on such Borrowing Date, and no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on each Borrowing Date, Custodian shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Trust Receipt in respect of all such Eligible Assets pledged as additional security for the Secured Obligations on such Borrowing Date.

2.5.Termination of Revolving Credit Commitments. Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments in full or in part;provided that, in the case of any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments in full, concurrently therewith, all Loans are repaid in full, together with an amount equal to the accrued but unpaid Unused Fee applicable to the portion of the year in which such Loans are repaid; andprovided,further, that in the case of any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments in part, after giving effect to such partial termination and any prepayment of the Loans in accordance withSection 3.2 orSection 3.3 in

connection therewith, the Outstanding Principal Balance shall not exceed the lesser of the Borrowing Base or the Revolving Credit Commitments, as so reduced. In the event the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated in full in accordance with the terms hereof, thereafter, all references herein and in any of the other Loan Documents to the “Revolving Credit Termination Date” shall be deemed to refer to said date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

2.6.Maturity. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders on the Revolving Credit Termination Date the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

2.7.Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in arrears a quarterly fee (the “Unused Fee”), payable on the first Business Day of each January, April, July, and October, in an amount equal to the product of (i) 0.0375% (i.e., 0.000375) and (ii) the difference between the Maximum Credit or the Adjusted Maximum Credit, as applicable from time to time during the preceding calendar quarter, and the average Outstanding Principal Balance from time to time during such quarter, determined, in each instance, based upon the number of days during such quarter that such Maximum Credit or Adjusted Maximum Credit, as the case may be, and such average Outstanding Principal Balance were outstanding.

2.8.Adjustment to Maximum Credit. Borrower may, at any time prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, request that the Maximum Credit be increased from One Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000.00) to One Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($150,000,000.00) (the “Adjusted Maximum Credit”) by delivering to Administrative Agent a written request for such increase (a “Credit Increase Request”). Upon receipt by Administrative Agent of a Credit Increase Request, the Maximum Credit shall be increased to the Adjusted Maximum Credit provided that each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied: (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under any of the Loan Documents, (B) no Borrowing Base Deficiency shall have occurred and be continuing, (C) no Market Deficiency shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Pledged Assets, (D) each of the conditions set forth inSections 6.2(a),(c),(d),(e),(h)(ii),(h)(iv),(k),(l),(m) and(p) shall have been satisfied or waived (provided that any legal opinions to be delivered shall be substantially the same as the opinions that were delivered in connection with the initial Loans as relevant to such increase), (E) Administrative Agent shall have obtained all necessary internal investment committee and credit approvals for the Adjusted Maximum Credit, which such approval may be granted or withheld in Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, and (F) Administrative Agent shall have received payment from Borrower of all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with entering into such increase.

SECTION 3. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS

3.1.Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a) Subject to the further provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation,Sections 3.1(b),3.6 and3.7, each Loan shall bear interest for each day during the

Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Spread.

(b) During the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower shall pay interest on any principal of any Loan outstanding at a rate per annum which is the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of thisSection 3 plus five percent (5.0%) (the“Default Rate”).

(c) If any principal (other than the payment due on the Maturity Date), or interest due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due (or if the principal payment due on the Maturity Date or any other sum is not paid within five (5) days after the date on which it is due), Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate the Administrative Agent for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents.

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date;provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, require accrued interest to be paid simultaneously with any prepayment of principal made by Borrower on account of any of the Loans outstanding; andprovided,further, that interest accruing pursuant toSection 3.1(b) shall accrue daily and shall be payable from time to time on demand.

3.2.Optional Prepayments.

(a) Borrower may at any time and from time to time (including, without limitation, to cure any Borrowing Base Deficiency) prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable written notice (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) to the Administrative Agent given no less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, specifying the date and amount of prepayment (it being understood that failure to provide the Administrative Agent with notice of a prepayment no less than three (3) Business Days prior to the next occurring Determination Date may result in liability on the part of Borrower pursuant toSection 3.11 hereof). Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, Borrower may deliver written notice of the rescission thereof at any time up to the proposed date of prepayment identified in such notice of prepayment, but if no such notice of rescission is delivered, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant toSection 3.11. Partial prepayments pursuant to thisSection 3.2 shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000.00 or a whole multiple thereof.

(b) Subject toSection 4.7(c), in connection with any prepayment pursuant toSection 3.2(a), the Lien of the Security Documents shall be released with respect to any Pledged Asset forming part of the Collateral, as designated by Borrower in the related Optional

Prepayment Notice, so long as no Borrowing Base Deficiency would occur after giving effect to such proposed release and prepayment.

3.3.Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)Borrowing Base Deficiency.

(i) The Market Value of all Pledged Assets will be determined by Administrative Agent (A) on a date not later than fifteen (15) days following the end of any calendar quarter, (B) promptly following the date that any Pledged Asset becomes a Defaulted Asset, (C) promptly following a request for the release of a Pledged Asset from the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations pursuant toSection 4.7(c) hereof or the substitution of a Substitute Asset for a Substituted Asset pursuant toSection 4.8 hereof, (D) in connection with any Pledged Asset Prepayment pursuant toSection 3.3(c) hereof, (E) upon the occurrence of any deemed approval of Administrative Agent underSection 8.19(b), and (F) as of each Borrowing Date hereunder (each a “Market Determination Date”). Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent, at least five (5) Business Days prior to each Market Determination Date (or, in the case of a Market Determination Date described in clause (E), three (3) Business Days prior to such Market Determination Date), an Updated Underwriting Package for each Pledged Asset for which an Updated Underwriting Package has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days prior to such Market Determination Date. If, on any Market Determination Date, (x) a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, (y) the Aggregate Market Value is less than the Aggregate Base Case Market Value (a “Market Deficiency”), and (z) the amount of such Market Deficiency is more than fifteen percent (15%) of the Aggregate Base Case Market Value (the “Market Deficiency Threshold”), then Lender shall provide written notice of such Market Deficiency to Borrower (such notice, a “Market Deficiency Notice”) and Borrower shall, no later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day immediately following the date of delivery of the related Market Deficiency Notice, prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance by an amount (the “Borrowing Base Deficiency Cure Amount”) sufficient to cure the Borrowing Base Deficiency.

(ii) With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which such consent may be granted or withheld in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, Borrower may, in lieu of prepaying the Outstanding Principal Balance as provided inSection 3.3(a)(i), enter into a Security Document in favor of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders with respect to one or more additional Eligible Assets (provided that all of the conditions precedent set forth inSection 6.2 hereof are satisfied) having a combined Market Value sufficient (together with the Market Value of all other Additional Assets theretofore encumbered pursuant to thisSection 3.3(a)(ii)), when multiplied by the applicable Advance Rate for each such Additional Asset, to cure the Borrowing Base Deficiency.

(iii) To the extent that, on any Market Determination Date, the Market Value of any Pledged Asset as to which Lenders shall have advanced sixty percent (60%) of its Base Case Market Value on the Borrowing Date therefor is less than its Base Case Market Value, Borrower shall have the right to elect to pay interest hereunder with

respect to all Pledged Assets of that Asset Type which were advanced at that Advance Rate at a rate based upon the Applicable Spread determined as if Lender had advanced seventy percent (70%) of the Base Case Market Value thereof, in which case the Borrowing Base shall be deemed increased as a result of such increase in the Advance Rate, and the Borrowing Base Cure Amount at such time shall be reduced to an amount equal to that which would be required to cure the Borrowing Base Deficiency after giving effect to the increased Borrowing Base resulting from Borrower’s election under thisSection 3.3(a)(iii). If, after giving effect to Borrower’s election under thisSection 3.3(a)(iii), the Borrowing Base exceeds the Outstanding Principal Balance, Borrower may submit a Request for Borrowing with respect to such excess amount. If Borrower shall elect to pay interest at an increased rate with respect to all Pledged Assets of a particular Asset Type and Advance Rate as provided in thisSection 3.3(a)(iii), the Applicable Spread for all such Pledged Assets shall be increased, effective as of the date of the applicable Market Deficiency Notice, to the Applicable Spread onSchedule 2 hereto effective for such increased Advance Rate.

(iv) In addition, so long as (A) no Market Deficiency shall then have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Pledged Assets and (B) no Event of Default, no monetary Default and no other Default as to which Administrative Agent shall have delivered a notice of default to Borrower hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing, if on any Market Determination Date the total of the Market Values for all Pledged Assets of a particular Asset Type and Advance Rate is greater than the total of all Base Case Market Values of all Pledged Assets of that Asset Type and Advance Rate such that, in the aggregate, the Advance Rate for such Pledged Assets has effectively decreased to the next lowest Advance Rate set forth inSchedule 2 hereto, and the amount of such excess Market Value is more than ten percent (10%) of the Base Case Market Value of all Pledged Assets of that Asset Type and Advance Rate (a “Market Value Surplus”) and the same has been true for two or more consecutive preceding quarters, then Borrower may request in writing (a “Market Surplus Notice”) that the Applicable Spread for all Pledged Assets of that Asset Type and Advance Rate (and as to which such Market Value Surplus shall exist) be decreased, and such rate shall be decreased effective as of the date of the applicable Market Surplus Notice, to the Applicable Spread onSchedule 2 hereto effective for such decreased Advance Rate. Nothing in thisSection 3.3(a)(iv) shall be deemed to preclude or limit the application of any other provision of thisSection 3.3(a) at any time after the delivery of a Market Surplus Notice.

(v) Any Market Deficiency Notice delivered pursuant to thisSection 3.3(a) shall be given in accordance withSection 13.2 hereof. The failure of Administrative Agent, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Administrative Agent to do so at a later date;provided that the determination of whether a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or whether a Market Deficiency exists which is in excess of the applicable Market Deficiency Threshold shall be based on the then-current circumstances and Aggregate Market Value. Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders each agree that a failure or delay by Administrative Agent to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Administrative Agent’s

rights, on behalf of itself or Lenders, under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law, or in any way create additional rights for Borrower.

(vi) For all purposes of this Agreement, if any Additional Asset is to be added to the Collateral pursuant toSection 3.3(a)(ii) hereof, Borrower shall satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 for each such Additional Asset and, upon satisfaction of such conditions and the acceptance by Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, of such Additional Assets as additional Collateral hereunder, such Additional Assets shall become “Pledged Assets” for all purposes of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall, at the time such Additional Assets become Pledged Assets hereunder, determine the Base Case DSCR, the Base Case Market Value and the Asset Value for each such Additional Asset.

(b)Defaulted Asset.

(i) If any Pledged Asset becomes a Defaulted Asset as a result of a Bankruptcy Action with respect to the Underlying Borrower or the owner of the related Underlying Property, the Market Value of such Defaulted Asset shall immediately be deemed reduced to zero for purposes ofSection 3.3(a) and Borrower shall, not later than the Business Day immediately following the earliest to occur of: (A) Borrower’s senior management learning or having any notice thereof or (B) Lender’s delivering notice thereof to Borrower, prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the product of (x) the Asset Value of the Defaulted Asset multiplied by (y) the Advance Rate then in effect for such Defaulted Asset and (ii) such amount as may be necessary to avoid a Borrowing Base Deficiency after giving effect to such reduction of the Market Value of such Pledged Asset (such amount, the “Defaulted Loan Prepayment Amount”) and, upon such payment, such Defaulted Asset shall be removed from the Collateral and the Lien of the Security Documents relating to such Defaulted Asset shall be released as provided inSection 4.7(c)(i).

(ii) Subject to the provisions ofSection 3.3(a), with respect to any other Defaulted Asset not described inSection 3.3(b)(i), (A) if the event of default under the Pledged Asset Documents with respect to such Defaulted Asset that gave rise to the Pledged Asset becoming a Defaulted Asset has not been cured within thirty (30) days after such Pledged Asset became a Defaulted Asset (or such earlier time as may be requested by Borrower), then the Market Value of such Pledged Asset shall thereafter be deemed to be zero for purposes of the provisions ofSection 3.3(a), and (B) if such event of default has not been cured within ninety (90) days after such Pledged Asset became a Defaulted Asset, then Borrower shall prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance in an amount equal to the Defaulted Loan Prepayment Amount within one Business Day thereafter and such Defaulted Asset shall be removed from the Collateral and the Lien of the Security Documents relating to such Defaulted Asset shall be released as provided inSection 4.7(c)(i).

(c)Prepayments of Pledged Asset. In the event that Borrower or Servicer receives any prepayment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of any Pledged Asset pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable Pledged Asset Documents

(a “Pledged Asset Prepayment”), then, no later than the Business Day immediately following the date on which such Pledged Asset Prepayment is received, Borrower shall prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance by an amount equal the lesser of (i) an amount equal to (x) such Pledged Asset Prepayment multiplied by (y) the Advance Rate then in effect for such Pledged Asset and (ii) such amount as may be necessary to avoid a Borrowing Base Deficiency after giving effect to such prepayment.

(d)Funds Held in Cash Collateral Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in thisSection 3.3, in the event Borrower would incur costs pursuant toSection 3.11 as a result of any payment due pursuant to thisSection 3.3, Borrower, at its option, may deposit the amount of such payment, together with interest thereon through the applicable Interest Period, with the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account (or in the Deposit Account) until the end of the applicable Interest Period.

3.4.Prepayment Amounts. In the event that Borrower makes any prepayment of all or any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance as provided inSection 3.2 orSection 3.3, such payment shall include all accrued and unpaid interest on such prepaid principal amount at the applicable interest rate, any other amounts due and payable with respect thereto, and all out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) incurred by Administrative Agent and up to one Lender hereunder in connection with such prepayment or the release of any Lien on any portion of the Collateral in connection therewith and any amounts payable pursuant toSection 3.11. Mandatory or optional prepayments pursuant toSection 3.2 orSection 3.3 shall not result in any permanent reduction in any Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.

3.5.Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Subject toSection 2.7, fees and interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of LIBOR. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the LIBOR Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of Borrower, deliver to Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant toSection 3.1(a) or(b) hereof.

(c) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loans at a rate which could subject the Lenders to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Loans at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, then the rate or rates at which all or any portion of

the Loans bear interest hereunder shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loans, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loans does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loans for so long as the Loans are outstanding.

3.6.Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Each borrowing by Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by Borrower on account of any Fee hereunder and any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of the Lenders or, following a Lender Default, according to the respective Adjusted Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of the Lenders other than the Defaulting Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, Fees or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified inSection 13.2, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to such Loans hereunder, on demand, from Borrower.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in thisSection 3.6 shall relieve any Defaulting Lender from its obligation to make available its ratable portion of any Loan in accordance with the terms hereof.

3.7.Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date of this Agreement the adoption of or any change in any Legal Requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof or any judgment, order or directive of any competent court, tribunal or authority (a “Change in Law”) shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Loans, the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon LIBOR as contemplated by this Agreement, then, upon written notice to Borrower and the Administrative Agent, so long as such illegality shall exist, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make or continue such Loans at such rate of interest shall forthwith be cancelled, (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law, and (c) any request for borrowings shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan. If any such conversion occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant toSection 3.11.

3.8.Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that LIBOR determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders, absent manifest error) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is so given, then until the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notice shall be delivered when such circumstances no longer exist), (i) any LIBOR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (ii) any Loans that were to have been continued on the first day of such Interest Period, shall be continued as Base Rate Loans, and (iii) any outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to Base Rate Loans.

3.9.Legal Requirements.

(a) If a Change in Law after the Closing Date or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date:

(i) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve (but excluding the LIBOR Reserve Percentage taken into account in calculating LIBOR), special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder; or

(ii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition (other than concerning Taxes, which is addressed inSection 3.10);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, participating in, continuing or maintaining any Loan or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable pursuant to and in accordance with the terms ofSection 3.9(c).

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law after the Closing Date applicable to such Lender (other than with respect to any amendment made to the Lender’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) regarding capital adequacy or compliance by such Lender or any entity controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such entity’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such entity could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction pursuant to and in accordance with the terms ofSection 3.9(c).

(c) If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to thisSection 3.9, it shall promptly deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a certificate of such Lender specifying the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation thereof. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation;provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date on which such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law or other event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim

compensation therefor; andprovidedfurther that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in thisSection 3.9, Borrower shall only be liable for such increased expense (or reduction in any amount owing hereunder or in the rate of return) attributable to the transactions under this Agreement (i) to the extent that events giving rise to such increase (or reduction) affect similarly situated banks or financial institutions generally and are not applicable to such Lender or its lending office primarily by reason of such Lender’s or its lending office’s particular conduct or condition or (ii) if such increase (or reduction) is incurred by the lending office of a Lender, then only to the extent that such increase (or reduction) would have been incurred had Lender held the Loans directly rather than through such lending office.

3.10.Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or for the account of Borrower hereunder, or in respect of the Notes or any other Loan Document, shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto,excluding Excluded Taxes (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes, other than Excluded Taxes, being hereinafter referred to as“Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note or other Loan Documents to any Lender, (i) the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Borrower and such Lender, as the case may be, have made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under thisSection 3.9) such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) Borrower shall make all such deductions or withholdings, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, Borrower shall pay to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law, and indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and Lenders harmless from, any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or other Loan Documents or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as“Other Taxes”).

(c) Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under thisSection 3.9, imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30)

days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to inSection 13.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment.

(e) If a Lender is a U.S. Person, such Lender shall deliver to Borrower, upon request, U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) establishing that it is exempt from backup withholding tax and other withholding tax (unless it establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Borrower that it is otherwise exempt from backup withholding tax or other withholding tax in a manner that is sufficient under applicable Legal Requirements to enable Borrower to avoid any withholding obligation with respect thereto). If a Lender is not a U.S. Person, such Lender shall deliver to Borrower, upon request, either (i) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) which indicates a 0% rate of tax or (ii) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor form) establishing that it is exempt from backup withholding tax and other withholding tax). Lenders further undertake to deliver to Borrower, as applicable, additional U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 (or any successor form), W-8BEN (or any successor form) or W-8ECI (or any successor form) or other manner of certification that is approved by the applicable Governmental Authority, as the case may be, (A) on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete, (B) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrower, and (C) such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying that the applicable Lender is still entitled to receive payments hereunder without deduction or withholding of any Taxes. However, in the event of any Change in Law occurs after the date of this Agreement and after the date a Lender (or Assignee) has become a party to this Agreement, but prior to the date on which any delivery pursuant to the preceding sentence would otherwise be required which renders such form inapplicable, or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form, or establishing that it is exempt from backup withholding tax and other withholding tax in the manner described above, such Lender shall not be obligated to deliver such forms but shall, promptly following such Change in Law, but in any event prior to the time the next payment hereunder is due following such Change in Law, advise Borrower in writing whether it is capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of Taxes. In the event of such Change in Law, Borrower shall have the obligation to make such Lender whole and to “gross-up” underSection 3.10(a), despite the failure by such Lender to deliver such forms.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund in respect of Taxes paid by Borrower, it shall promptly pay such refund, together with any other amounts paid by Borrower pursuant toSection 3.10(a) in connection with such refunded Taxes, to Borrower;provided,however, that Borrower agrees to promptly return such refund to the Administrative Agent or such Lender if it receives notice from the Administrative Agent or such Lender that it is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to seek any refund and the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to Borrower to do so.

(g) Nothing contained in thisSection 3.10 shall require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the rights of each Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, each Lender shall be under no obligation to claim credit, relief, remission or repayment from or against its corporate profits or similar tax liability in respect of the amount of such deduction or withholding in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it or to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs.

(h) If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

3.11.Indemnity. Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any actual loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by Borrower in making a borrowing of Loans after Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by Borrower in making any prepayment after Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (c) the making of a prepayment of Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure), in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein exclusive of the Applicable Spread that would have applied to such Loan, over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent) which would have accrued to the Lenders on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and explaining the calculation of such amount. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

3.12.Lending Offices; Change of Lending Office.

(a) Loans made by any Lender shall be made and maintained at such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office.

(b) Each Lender agrees that if it makes any demand for payment underSection 3.9 orSection 3.10, or if any adoption or change of the type described inSection 3.7 shall occur with respect to it, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to theSection 3.10, it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be disadvantageous to it, as determined in its sole discretion) to designate a different lending office (provided such Lender has more than one lending office) if the making of such a designation would reduce or obviate the need for Borrower to make payments underSection 3.9 orSection 3.10, or would eliminate or reduce the effect of any adoption or change described inSection 3.7. Borrower acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, UBS has only one lending office and, therefore, cannot designate a different lending office as contemplated by this Section

(c) If any Lender requests compensation underSection 3.9 orSection 3.10 or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to pay any amount on account of withholding with respect to any Lender pursuant toSection 3.10, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon joint notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse other than a representation to the effect that such Lender owns the portion of the Loan it has funded, all its interests, rights and Loans under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such Loans (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);provided that (i) Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation underSection 3.9 or payments required to be made or amounts required to be withheld pursuant toSection 3.10, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation, payments or amounts.

3.13.Cash Management.

(a) Borrower shall cause all Income (other than amounts deposited in escrow or reserve accounts pursuant to the applicable Pledged Asset Documents) in respect of the Pledged Assets payable to Borrower or its designee to be transmitted, by wire transfer or the automated clearinghouse system, directly by each Underlying Borrower (or, if applicable, any servicer with respect to such Pledged Asset or, if applicable for any Mezzanine Loan, the servicer, deposit bank or other agent administering the relevant cash management account for the related mortgage loan) into a trust account (the “Clearing Account”) established and maintained by Borrower at a national bank selected by Borrower and reasonably approved by Administrative Agent (the “Clearing Bank”) as more fully described in the Clearing Account Agreement. Funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept by the Clearing Bank on the last Business Day of each week into an operating account established and maintained by Borrower at the Clearing Bank in which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no security interest (the “Borrower Operating Account”), unless Administrative Agent shall deliver either a Cash Retention Notice or a Sweep Notice to the Clearing Bank as provided in thisSection 3.13 and the Clearing Account Agreement.

(b) Administrative Agent may, at its option, upon the occurrence of a Cash Retention Event, deliver a Cash Retention Notice to the Clearing Bank. A “Cash Retention Event” shall be deemed to have occurred immediately upon the delivery by Administrative Agent to Borrower of a Market Deficiency Notice. Upon the occurrence of a Cash Retention Event Cure, Administrative Agent shall deliver a Cash Retention Termination Notice to the Clearing Bank. A “Cash Retention Event Cure” shall be deemed to have occurred if, as of any date of determination, a Sweep Event has not occurred and the circumstances giving rise to a Cash Retention Event have been cured by Borrower as provided inSection 3.3 of this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a Sweep Event, Administrative Agent may, at its option, deliver a Sweep Notice to the Clearing Bank. A “Sweep Event” shall be deemed to have occurred upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement.

(c) Upon receipt of a Cash Retention Notice, the Clearing Bank shall cease making transfers of funds on deposit in the Clearing Account to the Borrower Operating Account and shall freeze all assets contained in the Clearing Account in the manner and within the timeframes specified in the Clearing Account Agreement. From and after the receipt by the Clearing Bank of a Cash Retention Notice, the Clearing Bank shall hold all funds on deposit in the Clearing Account until such time as the Clearing Bank shall receive either a Cash Retention Termination Notice or a Sweep Notice;provided that, if, during such period, any interest, principal or other amount shall become due and payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, whether on a Payment Date or otherwise, the Administrative Agent shall direct the Clearing Bank (at the request of Borrower) to transfer all or any portion of any available funds then on deposit in the Clearing Account (up to an amount equal to the amount then due under the Loan Documents) to the Deposit Account for application by the Administrative Agent toward the payment of such amounts then due. Upon receipt of a Cash Retention Termination Notice, the Clearing Bank shall resume transferring all available funds on deposit in the Clearing Account, if any, to the Borrower Operating Account as contemplated by the Clearing Account Agreement.

(d) Upon receipt of a Sweep Notice, the Clearing Bank shall cease making transfers of funds on deposit in the Clearing Account to the Borrower Operating Account and shall freeze all assets contained in the Clearing Account in the manner and within the timeframes specified in the Clearing Account Agreement. Thereafter, the Clearing Bank shall sweep all available funds in the Clearing Account on each Business Day into a single Eligible Account at the Deposit Bank controlled by Administrative Agent (the “Deposit Account”), which such funds shall be applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. Funds in the Deposit Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments, as more particularly set forth in the Cash Management Agreement. Lender may also establish subaccounts of the Deposit Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts (such subaccounts are referred to herein as “Accounts”). The Clearing Account, the Deposit Account and all other Accounts will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and neither Borrower nor any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrower shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.

(e) The Deposit Account shall be entitled “UBS Real Estate Investments, Inc., as Administrative Agent, pursuant to Revolving Credit Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 23, 2005, on behalf of the Lenders named therein – Deposit Account.” Borrower

hereby (i) grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, a first priority security interest in the Deposit Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof, and (ii) will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Administrative Agent a perfected first priority security interest in the Deposit Account, including, without limitation, executing and filing UCC-1 Financing Statements and continuations thereof. Borrower will not in any way alter or modify the Deposit Account and will notify Administrative Agent of the account number thereof. Administrative Agent and Servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Deposit Account and all costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Deposit Account shall be paid by Borrower.

(f) The terms, covenants and conditions of the Cash Management Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference. All amounts on deposit in the Deposit Account shall be held in trust for the Lenders, shall constitute the property of the Lenders and once deposited into the Deposit Account shall not be commingled with other property of Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower, or Servicer.

(g) All funds on deposit in the Deposit Account (and all funds on deposit in any cash collateral account established in accordance withSection 3.3(d) of this Agreement) may be applied by Lender in such order and priority as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion and Lender shall have no obligation to remit any such funds to Borrower. The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Deposit Account shall not relieve Borrower of the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.

SECTION 4. COLLATERAL SECURITY

4.2.Security Agreement; Financing Statements. For purposes of the grant of the security interest pursuant to this Article 4, this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”). Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, shall have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and the other laws of the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, (a) Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause to be filed in such locations as may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby, UCC financing statements and continuation statements (collectively, the “Filings”), and shall forward copies of such Filings to Administrative Agent upon completion thereof, and (b) Borrower shall from time to time take such further actions as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to maintain and continue the perfection

and priority of the security interest granted hereby under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction (including marking its records and files to evidence the interests granted to Lenders hereunder).

4.3.Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or in its own name, from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of Borrower, without assent by, but with notice to, Borrower, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following with respect to Collateral:

(i) in the name of Borrower or its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of monies due under any mortgage insurance or payable on or on account of any other Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such monies due under any such mortgage insurance or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) to pay or discharge taxes that are currently due and payable and Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances) levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; and

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct for application in accordance with this Agreement; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all monies, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Borrower with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described inclause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and Borrower’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative

Agent’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Borrower might do.

Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have been terminated and the Secured Obligations (other than surviving contingent obligations for which no demand for payment has been made) shall have been paid in full.

(b) Borrower also authorizes the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for inSection 10.2 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral and to file any initial financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements with or without the signature of Borrower as authorized by applicable law, as applicable to all or any part of the Collateral and to file any initial financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements with or without the signature of Borrower as authorized by applicable law, as applicable to all or any part of the Collateral.

(c) The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent are solely to protect the Lenders’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

4.4.Performance by Administrative Agent of Borrower’s Obligations. If Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Loan Documents, which failure constitutes an Event of Default hereunder, then the Administrative Agent may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement and the out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, shall be payable by Borrower to the Administrative Agent on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations.

4.5.Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. The Administrative Agent’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable to Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Borrower or otherwise.

4.6.Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable until the date on which the Revolving

Credit Commitments shall have been terminated and the Secured Obligations (other than surviving contingent obligations for which no demand for payment has been made) shall have been paid in full, and are powers coupled with an interest.

4.7.Release of Security Interest.

(a) General.

(i) Except as set forth inSection 3.3 and thisSection 4.7, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Lien of any Security Document. Except as provided inSection 4.7(c)(v), if a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to release any Lien with respect to any Pledged Asset and shall be entitled to retain all Pledged Assets as Collateral for the Secured Obligations hereunder until such time as such Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured as provided inSection 3.3.

(ii) In connection with any release of any Lien of any Security Document as contemplated by this Agreement, Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent, by the close of the Business Day of such release, an amount equal to Administrative Agent’s and up to one Lender’s reasonable actual costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses and all commissions arising in connection with (i) the modification, termination or entering into of any replacement Security Documents and related financing statements or other instruments; (ii) paying any costs arising underSection 3.11 in connection therewith, if any; and/or (iii) to the extent not included in (ii), terminating transactions or substituting loans in like transactions with third parties in connection with or as a result of such release.

(b) Release on Payment in Full. Upon termination of this Agreement and repayment to the Lenders of all Secured Obligations (other than surviving contingent obligations for which no demand for payment has been made) and the performance of all obligations under the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall release its security interest in any remaining Pledged Assets and all other Collateral.

(i) Upon receipt of the Defaulted Loan Prepayment Amount in respect of any Defaulted Asset pursuant toSection 3.3(b) hereof or the satisfaction and payment in full of any Pledged Asset pursuant toSection 3.3(c), Administrative Agent shall

execute and deliver to Borrower any and all documentation (including UCC-3 termination statements or amendments prepared by Borrower at its sole cost and expense) necessary to evidence the release of the Lien of the Security Documents with respect to the agreements, instruments and documents evidencing Borrower’s interest in the applicable Defaulted Asset or other Pledged Asset, as the case may be, and any related Collateral and instruct the Custodian to deliver to the Borrower all documents, files and papers related to such Defaulted Asset or Pledged Asset theretofore delivered to the Custodian (including without limitation, all such documents, files and papers identified in the Collateral File for such Defaulted Asset or Pledged Asset, together with any applicable endorsement);provided that no Event of Default, no monetary Default and no other Default as to which Administrative Agent shall have delivered a notice of default to Borrower hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing under this Agreement.

(ii) Upon receipt of any prepayment pursuant toSection 3.2(a) and/or on any Market Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall, at the request of Borrower, execute and deliver to Borrower any and all documentation (including UCC-3 termination statements or amendments prepared by Borrower at its sole cost and expense) necessary to evidence the release of the Lien of the Security Documents with respect to the agreements, instruments and documents evidencing Borrower’s interest in any Pledged Asset and any related Collateral and instruct the Custodian to deliver to the Borrower all documents, files and papers related to such Pledged Asset theretofore delivered to the Custodian (including without limitation, all such documents, files and papers identified in the Collateral File, for such Pledged Asset, together with any applicable endorsement);provided that each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

A. no Event of Default, no monetary Default and no other Default as to which Administrative Agent shall have delivered a notice of default to Borrower hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing under this Agreement; and

B. no Borrowing Base Deficiency would arise as a result of such release.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default then exists, if at any time the Underlying Borrower, in accordance with the applicable terms set forth in the Pledged Asset Documents for the applicable Pledged Asset, shall be entitled to the release of any or all of the collateral granted pursuant to the applicable Pledged Asset Documents or to the return of any Pledged Asset Documents or other documents, files or papers included within the Collateral File for such Pledged Asset, Administrative Agent shall, upon Borrower’s written request, execute and deliver to Borrower any and all documentation (including UCC-3 termination statements or amendments prepared by Borrower at its sole cost and expense) necessary to evidence the release of the Lien of the Security Documents with respect to such collateral, and shall deliver, or instruct the Custodian to deliver to the Borrower, all such Pledged Asset Documents or other documents, files or papers (together with any applicable endorsement) to which the

Underlying Borrower is entitled;provided that Administrative Agent shall have received any Pledged Asset Prepayment (if any) to be delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant toSection 3.3(c) in connection therewith.

(iv) At all times from and after the time as of which the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to release any Pledged Asset or Defaulted Asset from the Lien of the Security Documents pursuant to thisSection 4.7, such asset shall no longer be deemed a “Pledged Asset” (and the applicable Underlying Collateral, Underlying Property and Underlying Borrower with respect thereto shall no longer be deemed “Underlying Collateral,” “Underlying Property” or an “Underlying Borrower” for purposes of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents).

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrower shall be entitled to the release of any Pledged Asset by making an optional prepayment of the Loans pursuant toSection 3.2 in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Pledged Asset;provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. In such case, Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to Borrower any and all documentation (including UCC-3 termination statements or amendments) necessary to evidence the release of the Lien of the Security Documents with respect to the agreements, instruments and documents evidencing Borrower’s interest in the applicable Pledged Asset, and any related Collateral, and shall remit to the Borrower any cash retained in the Cash Management Account and derived from such Pledged Asset, and instruct the Custodian to deliver to the Borrower all documents, files and papers related to such Pledged Asset theretofore delivered to the Custodian (including without limitation, all such documents, files and papers identified in the Collateral File, for such Pledged Asset, together with any applicable endorsement).

4.8.Substitution of Assets.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in thisSection 4.8, Borrower may obtain a release of the Lien of a Security Document (and the related Loan Documents) encumbering a Pledged Asset (a“Substituted Asset”) by substituting therefor another Eligible Asset owned or acquired by a Borrower (a“Substitute Asset”), which such Substitute Asset may be the same or a different Asset Type and have the same or a different Advance Rate or Applicable Spread, so long as no Borrowing Base Deficiency shall result from such substitution;provided that no such substitution may occur after the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date and substitution shall not be allowed more than three (3) times in a calendar year andprovided,further, that each of the conditions to closing set forth inSection 6.2 of this Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived in connection with such substitution. Borrower shall deliver written notice of any proposed substitution to the Administrative Agent not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the date on which such substitution is anticipated to close, which notice shall state the anticipated closing date of such substitution and shall identify the Substitute Asset.

(b) Upon satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions precedent set forth inSection 6.2 of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent will release its Lien from the Substituted Asset and the Substitute Asset shall be deemed to be a Pledged Asset for purposes of this Agreement. At the time of such substitution, the Administrative Agent shall determine a Base Case DSCR, a Base Case Market Value and an Asset Value for such Substitute Asset.

(c) If Borrower exercises its right to substitute a Substitute Asset for a Substituted Asset under thisSection 4.8, Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent, by the close of the Business Day of such substitution or termination, as the case may be, an amount equal to Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ actual cost (including all reasonable fees and out of pocket expenses and all commissions) of (i) entering into replacement Security Documents; (ii) evaluating the Eligible Assets proposed to be substituted in accordance with the procedures of thisSection 4.8, (iii) paying any costs arising under Section 3.11 in connection therewith, if any; and/or (iv) to the extent not included in (ii), terminating transactions or substituting loans in like transactions with third parties in connection with or as a result of such substitution.

(d) With respect to any substitution under thisSection 4.8, Administrative Agent may conclusively rely upon, and shall incur no liability to Borrower in acting upon, any request or other communication that Administrative Agent reasonably believes to have been given or made by an authorized representative on Borrower’s behalf.

Except for such tax Liens that are being contested pursuant to and in accordance withSection 7.2 hereof, no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

5.14.Federal Regulations.

(ii) The Clearing Account constitutes a “deposit account” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York); and

(iii) The Clearing Account is not in the name of any Person other than Borrower, as pledgor, or Administrative Agent, as pledgee.

5.26.No Other Financing. Borrower has not borrowed any funds that have not heretofore been repaid in full, except for the Loans.

5.27.Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or by Borrower or any Guarantor in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstance under which they were made, not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to the Administrative Agent which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) financial information purported to be prepared in accordance with GAAP are subject only to such standard, and (ii) with respect to projected financial information, Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections as they relate to future events are not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount.

5.28.Other Obligations and Liabilities. Neither Borrower nor any Guarantor has any liabilities or other obligations that arose or accrued prior to the date hereof that, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a Material Adverse Effect.

The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is, and immediately following the making of the Loans, will be, greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of their contingent liabilities on their debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and,

immediately following the making of the Loans will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out their respective business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur Indebtedness and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such Indebtedness and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of Borrower).

The requirements of thisSection 5.30 shall not prevent Borrower from being treated as an entity which is “disregarded” from Ashford OP for income or other tax purposes.

(l) Borrower has maintained and intends to maintain adequate capital for the normal obligations reasonably foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business operations.

the consent of the Administrative Agent;provided that, with respect to any Defaulted Asset, Borrower shall not be required to comply with any of the foregoing at any time during which the Market Value of such Defaulted Asset has been reduced to zero pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. With respect to any matter requiring Administrative Agent’s consent in accordance with thisSection 8.19(b), Borrower shall request such consent in writing at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior to the proposed closing date for such action. Administrative Agent shall use good faith efforts to respond within five (5) Business Days after Administrative Agent’s receipt of Borrower’s written request for such approval or consent. If Administrative Agent fails to respond to such request within five (5) Business Days, and Borrower sends a second request containing a legend clearly marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all capital letters “REQUEST DEEMED APPROVED IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN 3 BUSINESS DAYS”, Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have approved or consented to such matter if Administrative Agent fails to respond to such second written request before the expiration of such additional three (3) Business Day period.

(c) In addition, Borrower agrees that, with respect to any Pledged Asset for which Borrower has a right to cure any default by the holder of any senior loan (in the case of a Mezzanine Loan) or senior interest (in the case of a Junior Interest) but as to which the applicable Pledged Asset Documents (including any intercreditor agreement, participation agreement or similar agreement) do not expressly grant Administrative Agent or the Lenders a right to exercise such cure independently of Borrower, Borrower hereby appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a monetary Default or any Default as to which Administrative Agent has delivered a notice of default hereunder, for purposes of exercising any such cure rights so long as such Pledged Asset is included in the Collateral hereunder.

8.20.Accounting Policies. Borrower shall not make any material change to its accounting policies, practices or procedures in effect on the date hereof unless required by law or if such policy, practice or procedure is adopted as consistent with GAAP;provided that Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of any such change. Additionally, Borrower shall not approve or consent to any Underlying Borrower taking any of the actions referred to in the preceding sentence, without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent.

8.21.Lienable Work. Subject to the terms of the Pledged Asset Documents, Borrower shall not approve or consent to any Underlying Borrower doing any excavation, construction, earth work, site work or any other mechanic’s lienable work (collectively, “Lienable Work”) to any Underlying Property without Administrative Agent’s prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except for (x) normal repair and maintenance in the ordinary course of business, (y) any Lienable Work that is expressly contemplated by the applicable Pledged Asset Documents, and (z) any Lienable Work that does not involve expenditures of more than $5,000,000.00 in the aggregate for any single Underlying Property.

Administrative Agent may underwrite such Pledged Assets itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Borrower agrees to reasonably cooperate with Administrative Agent and any third party underwriter reasonably acceptable to Borrower in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Administrative Agent and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Pledged Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Borrower.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Default or Event of Default occurs which affects one or more Pledged Assets, and such Default or Event of Default would not have occurred if such Pledged Asset(s) were not Collateral or Pledged Asset(s) hereunder, Borrower shall have the right, notwithstanding the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default, to cure such Default or Event of Default by exercising its rights set forth inSection 3.2 to release such Pledged Asset(s) as Collateral (provided that no other Event of Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency would result therefrom), and upon the full payment of all sums due in connection with such release, and compliance with all other terms relating thereto as set forth inSection 3.2, such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed cured, and Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be restored to their respective positions as if such Default or Event of Default had never occurred.

10.2.UCC Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement, the Security Documents and any other Loan Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law) to or upon Borrower or any other Person (each and all of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels or as an entirety at any public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Borrower further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places that the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at a Borrower’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the

Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Lenders hereunder, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent arising out of the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) Business Days before such sale or other disposition. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon as contemplated pursuant toSection 3.1(b) hereof) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency. The rights, powers and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise.

10.3.Possession. Administrative Agent also shall have the right to obtain physical possession, and to commence an action to obtain physical possession, of any and all Records and files of Borrower relating to the Pledged Assets and all documents relating to the Pledged Assets (including, without limitation, any legal, credit or servicing files relating to the Pledged Assets) which are then or may thereafter come into the possession of Borrower or any third party acting for Borrower. To obtain physical possession of any Pledged Assets held by Custodian, Administrative Agent shall present to Custodian a Trust Receipt. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of Borrower contained in this Agreement.

10.4.Collections. Administrative Agent shall have the right to direct all servicers then servicing any Pledged Assets to remit all collections thereon to Administrative Agent for deposit in the Clearing Account, and if any such payments are received by Borrower, Borrower shall not commingle the amounts received with other funds of Borrower and shall promptly pay them over to the Clearing Account or to Administrative Agent for deposit into the Clearing Account. Administrative Agent shall also have the right to terminate any one or all of the servicers then servicing any Pledged Assets with or without cause.

10.5.Liquidation. Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower notice of its intention to liquidate the Pledged Assets and other Collateral at least ten (10) Business Days prior to selling or otherwise liquidating any such Pledged Assets and other Collateral. Thereafter, Administrative Agent shall have the right to sell immediately and/or liquidate all or any portion of the Pledged Assets and/or all other Collateral. Such disposition of Pledged Assets and/or all other Collateral may be, at Administrative Agent’s option, on either a servicing released or a servicing retained basis. Administrative Agent shall not be required to give any warranties as to the Pledged Assets and/or other Collateral with respect to any such disposition

thereof. Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like relating to the Pledged Assets and/or other Collateral. The foregoing procedure for disposition of the Pledged Assets and liquidation of the Collateral shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale thereof.

10.6.Private Sale. The parties recognize that it may not be possible to sell all of the Pledged Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner, because the market for such Pledged Assets may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Pledged Assets, the parties agree that, upon ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to Borrower and each Guarantor, liquidation of the Pledged Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

10.7.Costs. Borrower shall be liable to Administrative Agent for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses, including, without limitation, all reasonable costs and expenses of Administrative Agent in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether in action, suit or litigation or bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally, further including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (including the costs of internal counsel of Administrative Agent) incurred in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, and (ii) any other loss, damage or reasonable cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default.

10.8.Remedies Cumulative; Waiver. Subject to the notice and grace periods set forth herein, each party to this Agreement may exercise any or all of the remedies available to such party immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time during the continuance thereof without prior notice to the other parties hereto. Except as expressly provided herein, all rights and remedies arising under the Loan Documents, as amended from time to time, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which each party to this Agreement may have. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by any party to this Agreement therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on any party to this Agreement, shall entitle such party to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of any party to this Agreement in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under any other Loan Document shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting any Pledged Asset as security for any Loan under this Agreement on any Borrowing Date, Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have waived any right to assert any Default, Event of Default or breach by Borrower of any term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty under this Agreement or any Loan Document, notwithstanding that such Default, Event of Default or breach may have arisen prior to such Borrowing Date.

10.9.Non-judicial Remedies. Administrative Agent may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any defenses Borrower might otherwise have to require Administrative Agent to enforce its rights by judicial process. Borrower also waives any defense Borrower might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Pledged Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Borrower recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

10.10.Appointment of Receiver. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Secured Obligations, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court having jurisdiction, without notice, to take possession of and protect, collect, manage, liquidate, and sell the Pledged Assets and any other Collateral or any portion thereof, collect the payments due with respect to the Pledged Assets and any other Collateral or any portion thereof, and do anything that Administrative Agent is authorized hereunder to do. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the appointment and activities of such receiver.

SECTION 11. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

11.1.Appointment of Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the administrative agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

11.2.Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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.

11.3.Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates, shall be (a) liable to any of the Lenders for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Borrower, any Guarantor or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in

any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of Borrower or any Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or Guarantors.

11.4.Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

11.5.Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders;provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

11.6.Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower or Guarantors, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and

100

based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and any Guarantor and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and Guarantors. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of Borrower or any Guarantor which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

11.7.Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in their respective capacities as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower or Guarantors and without limiting the obligation of Borrower or Guarantors to do so), ratably according to their respective Credit Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Revolving Credit Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing;provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

11.8.Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or Guarantors as though the Administrative Agent were not the administrative agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

11.9.Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lenders and Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon appointment and approval of a successor administrative agent as hereinafter

101

provided. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be approved by Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor administrative agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as administrative agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as administrative agent, the provisions of thisSection 11 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

11.10.Certain Collateral Matters.

(a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender also authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to review and approve all agreements relating to the cash management system of Borrower, including lockboxes and lockbox accounts, as the Administrative Agent shall deem necessary. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders or each of the Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders or each of the Lenders, as applicable, of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Document which may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the Security Documents.

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at is option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and payment in cash and satisfaction of all of the Secured Obligations at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or upon the compliance with the provisions ofSection 4.7 or any other provision set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document relating to the release of the Lien with respect to any Pledged Asset and any other Collateral relating thereto, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale by the Administrative Agent if Borrower certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms hereof (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, unless such release is required to be approved by all of the Lenders hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative

102

Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to thisSection 11.10(b).

(c) Upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by Borrower, or in any other circumstances under which the Administrative Agent is required to release any Pledged Asset or related Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary or desirable to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in this Agreement or pursuant to the Security Documents upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred or that is required to be so released;provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of Borrower in respect of) any remaining Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure. At all times from and after the time as of which the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to release any Pledged Asset from the Lien of the Security Documents pursuant to this Section, such asset shall no longer be deemed a “Pledged Asset” (and the applicable Underlying Collateral, Underlying Property and Underlying Borrower with respect thereto shall no longer be deemed “Underlying Collateral,” “Underlying Property” or an “Underlying Borrower” for purposes of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents).

(d) The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by a Borrower or any Guarantor or is cared for, protected or insured.

(e) The Administrative Agent and each Lender executing or becoming a party to this Agreement represents and warrants by executing this Agreement or any Assignment and Acceptance delivered pursuant hereto that such Lender is a Qualified Transferee, Eligible Transferee or Qualified Institutional Lender, or similar such term, as applicable (as such terms are defined in each of the applicable intercreditor agreements, co-lender agreements, participation agreements, trust and servicing agreement or similar such agreements that are included within the Pledged Asset Documents).

SECTION 12. INDEMNIFICATION

(a) In addition to any other indemnity provided elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrower and each Guarantor agree to hold Administrative Agent and the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify each Indemnified Party (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same is incurred) against all Costs of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified

103

Party relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Request for Borrowing, any Loan, any Loan Document or any other transaction contemplated hereby or thereby resulting from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith;provided that from and after any foreclosure upon or acquisition (other than as Collateral hereunder) of any Pledged Asset by the Administrative Agent or its designee, in no event shall the Costs of any Indemnified Party to be indemnified hereunder include any Costs of such Indemnified Party to the extent incurred or arising with respect to any Pledged Asset as the result of any circumstance, action or event occurring subsequent to the acquisition by the Administrative Agent or its designee of such Pledged Asset whether through foreclosure or otherwise, but shall, in all events, include all Costs to the extent incurred by such Indemnified Party as the result of any circumstance, action or event occurring prior to such acquisition. Borrower and Guarantors also jointly and severally agree to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel. Borrower’s and each Guarantor’s agreements in thisSection 12 shall survive the payment in full of the Outstanding Principal Balance and satisfaction in full of the Secured Obligations and the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Borrower hereby acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are recourse obligations of Borrower and are not limited to recoveries each Indemnified Party may have with respect to the Pledged Assets. Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim against Administrative Agent, Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the facility established hereunder, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of any Loan, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or thereby.

(b) THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR BAD FAITH) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS

13.1.Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of thisSection 13.1. The Required Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, (a) enter into with Borrower written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for any purpose, including without limitation, adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of Borrower hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements or other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences;provided,however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or of any installment thereof, or reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment

104

thereof or increase the aggregate amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (other than any Defaulting Lender), (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of thisSection 13.1 or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, or consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or, except as otherwise provided herein, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, in each case without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) affected thereby, or (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision ofSection 11 without the written consent of the Administrative Agent (to the extent affected by such amendment, modification or waiver),provided that no such amendment, modification or waiver of Section 11 (except for the provisions ofSection 11.9 andSection 11.10) shall require the consent of Borrower. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, following such waiver, shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived in writing shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

13.3.No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

106

13.4.Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans hereunder.

13.5.Payment of Expenses and Taxes. Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent, (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and up to one Lender for all of its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and up to one Lender, and (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from and against any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents.

13.6.Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (and any such attempted assignment by Borrower shall be null and void).

(b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking, commercial lending or investing business and in accordance with applicable law, and at no cost to Borrower, at any time and from time to time sell to one or more Persons (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents;provided that such Participant complies with all applicable limits on and requirements with respect to transfer and/or pledge set forth in the Pledged Asset Documents included in any Collateral File. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each

107

Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement,provided that in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided inSection 13.7(a) as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits ofSections 3.6,3.8 and3.9 with respect to its participation in the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender;provided that in the case ofSection 3.9, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section andprovided,further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

(c) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking or commercial lending business and in accordance with applicable law, and at no cost to Borrower, at any time and from time to time assign to any other Lender or any Approved Fund thereof or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), to an Eligible Transferee (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form ofExhibit K, with appropriate completions (an “Assignment and Acceptance”), executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the Administrative Agent) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register;provided that such Assignee and assignment comply with all applicable limits on and requirements with respect to transfer and/or pledge set forth in the Pledged Asset Documents included in any Collateral File; andprovided,further, that, in the case of any such assignment to an Eligible Transferee, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and the aggregate amount of the unused Revolving Credit Commitments being assigned to such Assignee and being retained by the assigning Lender is not less than $5,000,000.00. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto as a Lender to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Revolving Credit Commitments as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, and (ii) except in the case of an assignment by an assigning Lender to an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assigning Lender (in which case the assigning Lender shall remain jointly liable with such assignee with respect to its obligations under this Agreement), the assigning Lender thereunder (but not UBS) shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). In accordance withSection 3.9(e), each Assignee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and Borrower a properly completed and duly executed (i) U.S. Internal Revenue Form W-9 (or any successor thereto), (ii) U.S. Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN (or any successor thereto), (iii) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto), or (iv) other manner of certification that is approved by the applicable Governmental Authority and establishes an exemption from backup withholding tax and other

108

withholding tax, including all appropriate attachments, within three (3) Business Days of becoming a party to this Agreement. Such Assignee will be subject to all the provisions ofSection 3.9(e) as if it were a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of Borrower, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to inSection 13.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Revolving Credit Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may (and, in the case of any Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note, shall) treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto, record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and Borrower.

(f) Subject toSection 13.19, Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Eligible Transferee and any prospective transferee, any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning Borrower and its Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

(g) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of thisSection 13.6 concerning assignments of the Loans and the Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or any Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law, but foreclosure of any such security interest requires compliance with thisSection 13.6.

13.7.Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) If any Lender (a“benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to inSection 10.1(e), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or

109

interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender);provided,however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loan may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender,provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

13.8.Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that (a) it has not dealt with any financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) in the event Borrower has engaged any brokers, Borrower agrees to pay any and all amounts, including all commissions and other similar fees, owing to said brokers; and (c) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a breach of any of the foregoing. Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders may pay, at no cost to Borrower, additional compensation, fees or other payments to brokers, finders, correspondents or other parties (collectively, “Referrer”) related to the origination, sale and/or securitization of the Loans, in addition to any other payments due from Borrower. Such additional compensation, fees or other payments may include direct, one-time payments, incentive payments based on volume of referrals, profit-sharing payments, and/or an ongoing financial interest in the Loans. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that neither Agent nor any Lender is responsible for any recommendation, services (sub-servicing or otherwise) or advice given to Borrower by the Referrer and that no fiduciary or other special relationship exists or shall exist between them. The provisions of thisSection 13.8 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Secured Obligations.

13.9.Servicing.

110

(a)Servicer; Servicing Agreement. The Loans shall be serviced by a servicer (the“Servicer”) selected by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between the Administrative Agent and the Servicer. Borrower shall be responsible for payment, on a monthly basis, of servicing fees due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement in accordance with a fee schedule approved by Borrower (“Servicing Fees”).

13.10.Preferences. The Administrative Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the then-outstanding obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent that Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or payments received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent.

13.11.Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

13.12.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile transmission of signature pages hereto), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

13.13.Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

13.14.Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

13.15.Governing Law.
