Agent to ensure the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, has a perfected security interest in such asset or assets; provided, further, that any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not actually reinvested within such one (1) month period shall be prepaid in accordance with this Section 2.04(c)on or before the last day of such one (1) month period; provided, further, that no prepayment shall be required under this Section 2.04(c)to the extent that the Borrowers determine in good faith that such prepayment would result in material adverse tax consequences to the Borrowers, in which case the Borrowers shall so notify the Administrative Agent of such determination and, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, instead either (x) reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) above or (y) continue to hold such Net Cash Proceeds in, as applicable, (I) the Gross Revenue Account, (II) the REO Subsidiary Account or (III) any deposit account to the extent established and maintained by, or for the benefit of, TRS from time to time, subject to a deposit account control agreement or similar agreement in form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, any mandatory prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)are subject Section 2.04(b)above.

(d) Repayment and Prepayments Generally. Upon any repayment of any Advances pursuant to Section 2.04(a) or prepayment of any Advances pursuant to Sections 2.04(b)and (c), the Borrowers shall also pay in full any accrued and unpaid interest of the Secured Parties on the amount of such repayments. Each Lender shall apply amounts received from the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.04to the pro rata payment of all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such Advances of such Lender until paid in full and thereafter to prepay such Lender’s Advances Outstanding.

(e) Termination of Commitments. The Closing Date Commitments shall automatically and permanently terminate on the Closing Date upon the funding of the Advance on such date. The First Amendment Effective Date Commitments shall automatically and permanently terminate on the First Amendment Effective Date upon the funding of the Advance on such date.

Section 2.05 Interest and Fees.

(a) Subject to Section 2.05(c), the Advances shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 8.749%. Accrued interest on the Advances shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date. If accrued and unpaid interest is not paid in full on a Payment Date, the Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, pay additional interest on such accrued and unpaid interest at the same rate per annum as the Borrowers pay on the Advances, such additional interest being payable on each Payment Date.

(b) The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, pay the Fees set forth in the Fee Letters on the term and conditions provided therein.

(c) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all Advances Outstanding shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate.

(d) Except as otherwise set forth herein, all computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Advance, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Advance under Applicable Law (collectively, “charges”), exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Advance in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Advance hereunder, together with all charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. To the extent lawful, the interest and charges that would have been paid in respect of such Advance but were not paid as a result of the operation of this Section 2.05(e)shall be cumulated and the interest and charges payable to such Lender

-36-

in respect of other Advances or periods shall be increased (but not above the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount shall have been received by such Lender. Any amount collected by such Lender that exceeds the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of such Advance or refunded to the Borrowers so that at no time shall the interest and charges paid or payable in respect of such Advance exceed the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate.

Section 2.06 Payments and Computations, Etc.

All payments received by the Lenders after 2:00 p.m. may, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b) Other than as otherwise set forth herein, whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in the computation of interest and fees.

(c) To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and (ii) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.07 Gross Revenue Account; REO Subsidiary Accounts; Secured Accounts.

(a) Gross Revenue Account.

(i) Each Borrower and each Loan Party (other than the REO Subsidiaries) shall cause all Gross Revenue to be remitted immediately and directly to a Gross Revenue Account.

(c) REO Subsidiary Accounts.

(i) Each REO Subsidiary shall cause all REO Income to be deposited directly into the applicable REO Operating Accounts.

(ii) If any Distributions (as defined in the REO Subsidiary Payment Direction Letter) are not deposited into the applicable REO Subsidiary Account in violation of Section 2.07(c)(i)above, each REO Subsidiary shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all such Distributions until so deposited.

(d) Secured Accounts. With respect to each Secured Account subject to a “springing” Account Control Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to deliver a Notice of Exclusive Control only after the occurrence of a Market Trigger Event or Event of Default.

On each Business Day on and after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Market Trigger Event, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Account Bank to apply funds on deposit in a Gross Revenue Account (the “Available Revenue”) to the following Persons in the following amounts, in the following order and priority:

(i) first, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable distribution to the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer, and the Lenders (or, if directed by the Administrative Agent to pay any such ratable amount directly to the applicable Person, to such Person), in payment in full of all expenses and indemnities due and payable by the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Transaction Document (including any Fee Letters);

(ii) second, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender (or if directed by the Administrative Agent to pay any such ratable amount directly to the Lender, to such Lender), to pay such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of accrued fees and accrued and unpaid interest due and owing to such Lender under this Agreement (including any such accrued and unpaid interest or fees from a prior period);

(iii) third, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender (or if directed by the Administrative Agent to pay such ratable amount directly to the Lender, to such Lender), to

-38-

repay such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances Outstanding until (i) all Advances Outstanding are indefeasibly paid in full or (ii) the applicable Market Trigger Event is cured (if applicable); and

(iv) fourth, to an account designated by the Borrower Representative, in order for the Borrowers to make Permitted REIT Distributions.

(b) Insufficiency of Funds. If the Available Revenue is insufficient to pay any amounts otherwise due and payable in accordance with Section 2.08(a), each Borrower nevertheless remains responsible for, and shall pay when due, all amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with interest accrued as set forth in Section 2.05from the date when due until paid hereunder.

(c) Instructions to the Account Bank.

(d) No Presentment. Payment by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof shall not require presentment of any Note.

Section 2.09 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D)), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Advances, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance, or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

-39-

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Advances made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand, the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in this Section 2.09(c)or (b)and the computations made by such Lender to determine such amount and delivered to the Borrower Representative, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the next Payment Date that is not less than ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to thisSection 2.09shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; providedthat the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.09for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 2.10 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Loan Parties shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.10) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.10) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Recipient (with

-40-

a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Loan Parties have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 2.03(c)relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Borrower or the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative, the Facility Servicer and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative, the Facility Servicer or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative, the Facility Servicer or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative, the Facility Servicer or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative, the Facility Servicer or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two (2) sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (f)(ii)(b)(A), (ii)(b)(B)and (ii)(b)(D)of this Section 2.10) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

a. any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form

-41-

W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

b. any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(B) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to any Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W‑8BEN-E; or

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W‑8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2or Exhibit C-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; providedthat if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

c. any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative, the Facility Servicer and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by

-42-

the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative, the Facility Servicer or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower Representative, the Facility Servicer or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

d. if a payment made to a Lender under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative, the Facility Servicer and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative, the Facility Servicer or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative, the Facility Servicer or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower Representative, the Facility Servicer and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower Representative, the Facility Servicer and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by Applicable Law, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.10(including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.10with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g)(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g)the payment of which would place the

-43-

indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (g)shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Status of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent is a U.S. Person, it shall deliver to the Borrower Representative on or prior to the Closing Date (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative) two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9. If the Administrative Agent is not a U.S. Person, it shall provide to the Borrower Representative on or prior to the Closing Date (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative) two executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A) or a “qualifying intermediary” that assumes primary withholding responsibility under Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 of the Code and primary Form 1099 reporting and backup withholding responsibility for payments it receives for the account of others, with the effect that a Borrower will be entitled to make payments hereunder to the Administrative Agent without withholding or deducting on account of U.S. federal taxes.

(i) Each party’s obligations contained in this Section 2.10shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, any assignment of rights by or replacement of any Lender, the termination of Commitments, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document or termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.11 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.09, or requires a Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.10, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower Representative) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.09or Section 2.10, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.09, or if a Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.10and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.11(a), or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower Representative may, at the Borrowers’ sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.09or Section 2.10) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Transaction Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided, that:

(i) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances and participations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other

-44-

amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts),

(ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.09or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.10, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter,

(iii) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent, and

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.

Any Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower Representative to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.12 Share Value, REO Value and Value.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, acting reasonably and in good faith on a belief that the Share Value, Value, or any REO Value (including the value attributable to any individual Eligible REO Asset included in the calculation of REO Value), or any calculation included therein, provided by the Borrower Representative is materially inaccurate, to request an appraisal of the Share Value, Value, or any REO Value (or, at the Administrative Agent’s election, the value of any individual Eligible REO Asset included in the calculation of REO Value), or any calculation included therein, by a nationally recognized third party valuation agent selected by the Majority Lenders (such valuation agent, an “Approved Firm”). The Administrative Agent shall present the results of such valuation by an Approved Firm (an “Approved Firm Valuation”) to the Borrower Representative no later than ten (10) Business Days following the date that the Administrative Agent requested such Approved Firm Valuation.

(b) The Borrowers shall cooperate with any Approved Firm and shall promptly provide information relating to the Share Value, Value, or such REO Value as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to enable the Approved Firm to timely determine and report the valuation.

(c) In the event that such Approved Firm Valuation provides a Share Value, Value, or REO Value (or value of such individual Eligible REO Asset, as applicable) that is more than 10% lower than the most recent Share Value, REO Value or Value provided by the Borrower Representative, (x) the Share Value, REO Value or Value shall be recalculated within five (5) Business Days using such revised Share Value, REO Value or Value, as applicable, determined by the Approved Firm, and (y) such revised calculation of the Share Value, REO Value and Value, as applicable, shall apply for all applicable purposes in the Transaction Documents as of the date of such recalculation (and for the avoidance of doubt, shall not apply retroactively). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Approved Firm Valuation relates solely to the value of an individual Eligible REO Asset, the revised REO Value shall reflect only the adjustment to the value of such individual Eligible REO Asset, and the values of all other Eligible REO Assets included in the calculation of REO Value shall remain unchanged.

(d) All fees and expenses incurred in connection with any such Approved Firm Valuation shall be payable by the Borrowers; providedthat, so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may only exercise such third party appraisal right once per every twelve (12) month period, measured separately with respect to each of Share Value, REO Value or Value.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints [**]to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article VIIare solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties; no Borrower shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions (except Section 7.06(a)). It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Transaction Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

Section 7.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender (to the extent it is also a Lender) as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its capacity as Lender, if applicable. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Borrower or

-61-

any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 7.03 Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Transaction Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Transaction Documents); providedthat the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Transaction Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Law; and

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Article VIand Section 10.01); providedthat, no action or any omission to act, taken by the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Transaction Documents) shall constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct including, without limitation, Section 7.08and Section 9.01of this Agreement or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower Representative or a Lender.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) the contents or accuracy of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith and shall not be required to recalculate, certify or verify any information therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IIIor elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

-62-

Section 7.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, opinion, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 7.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Transaction Document by or through any one or more agents, sub-agents or attorneys appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such agents, sub-agent or attorneys may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VIIshall apply to any such party and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such party. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, sub-agents or attorney appointed by it with due care, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 7.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Initial Lender shall have the right to appoint a successor (with the consent of the Borrower Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the extent no Event of Default is continuing. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Initial Lender and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Initial Lender) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and (ii) except for any fees, expenses and indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Initial Lender appoints a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to fees, expenses and indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Transaction

-63-

Documents, the provisions of this Article VIIand Section 10.07shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 7.07 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 7.08 Indemnification by Lenders.

(a) To the extent that a Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Article IXor Section 10.07to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); providedthat the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders to make payments pursuant to this Section 7.08are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any such payment on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its payment under this Section 7.08.

The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 7.08shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any bankruptcy relief law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on such Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties under Section 10.07) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

-64-

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 10.07.

Section 7.10 Collateral Matters.

(a) Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to release any Lien on any collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document including, without limitation, the Collateral if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.01. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Majority Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, for the legality, enforceability, effectiveness or sufficiency of the Transaction Documents, the existence, priority, creation, validity, enforceability or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by a Borrower in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral or the Lien thereon.

Section 7.11 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under Section 7.11(b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of their Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) (provided, that, without limiting any other rights or remedies (whether at law or in equity), the Administrative Agent may not make any such demand under this clause (a)with respect to an Erroneous Payment unless such demand is made within thirty (30) days of the date of receipt of such Erroneous Payment by the applicable Payment Recipient), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date the Administrative Agent demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) from such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 7.11(a)is conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting Section 7.11(a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (i) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment (a “Payment Notice”), (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice or (iii) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case:

(i) It acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clause (i)or (ii), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (iii)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Payment Recipient shall promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (i), (ii), and (iii)) notify the Administrative Agent in writing of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.11(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.11(b)shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 7.11(a)or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c) Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Secured Party from any source, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under Section 7.11(a)or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 7.11(a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s request to such Lender at any time, then effectively immediately, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) on a cashless basis at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrowers) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption Agreement by reference pursuant to an approved electronic platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Advances to the Borrowers the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (ii) the Administrative Agent, as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee

-66-

Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (v) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest, as applicable, in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in their discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Transaction Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (providedthat the Obligations under the Transaction Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Advances that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower, providedthat this Section 7.11shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrowers relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x)and (y)shall not apply, to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set‐off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received including, without limitation, waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 7.11survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

Section 7.12 Secured Accounts.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (i) each of the Secured Accounts is intended to be a “securities account” or a “deposit account”, as applicable, within the meaning of the UCC and (ii) (x)

-67-

only the Administrative Agent (or its designee) shall be entitled to exercise the rights with respect to the Secured Accounts subject to an Account Control Agreement and (y) only the Administrative Agent (or its designee) and the Borrowers shall be entitled to exercise the rights with respect to the Secured Accounts subject to an Account Control Agreement in accordance with this Agreement and each Account Control Agreement, as applicable. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees to cause the Account Bank to agree with the parties hereto that regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, with respect to the Secured Accounts, New York shall be deemed to be the Account Bank’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9‑304 of the UCC).

The Facility Servicer also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.

As to any matters not expressly provided for by any Transaction Document, the Facility Servicer shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under any Transaction Document in accordance with instructions given by the Administrative Agent, Initial Lender or, if provided in this Agreement, in accordance with the instructions given by the Majority Lenders or all Lenders as is required in such circumstance, and such instructions of such Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.01 Indemnities by the Borrowers.

(a) Without limiting any other rights which the Secured Parties or any of their respective Affiliates may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, each Borrower shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Secured Parties and each of their respective Affiliates, assigns, officers, directors, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Party” for purposes of this Article IX) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”), incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of (i) this

-70-

Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the performance of the Administrative Agent’s obligations under any Account Control Agreement or other control agreement, including any amounts payable by the Administrative Agent to a bank or securities intermediary under an Account Control Agreement or other control agreement for fees, expenses or indemnification of the bank or securities intermediary) or in respect of any of the Collateral, (ii) any Advance or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party as determined in a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 9.01shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b) Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.01shall be paid by the Borrowers to the applicable Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Borrower Representative of the written demand therefor on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party.

(c) Each Indemnified Party shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower Representative, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or a Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates, other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) (each, a “Participant”)in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Advance owing to it); providedthat (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) such Lender shall register such participation in its Participant Register pursuant to Section 2.03(c). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; providedthat such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 10.01(b)that affects such Participant. The Borrower Representative (on behalf of the Borrowers) agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.10(subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.10(f)(it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.10(f)shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; providedthat such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(a)as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b)of this Section 10.04; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

Section 10.05 Term of This Agreement.
