Any such Loan shall be made by the related Committed Lender, to the extent that such Loan would not cause the portion of the Loans Outstanding funded by such Lender Group, determined after giving effect to such funding, to exceed its Commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Committed Lender shall have any obligation on any date to fund an amount that would cause its Lender Percentage of the Loans Outstanding, determined after giving effect to such funding, to exceed its Commitment. (b) No later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, two Business Days prior to a proposed Funding Date, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Agents of such proposed Funding Date and Loan by delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Agents (with a copy to the Account Bank):

46 154304283v7 (i) a Funding Request, which will include, among other things, the proposed Funding Date, a calculation of the Borrowing Base as of the date the Loan is requested (including all components of such calculation, including any Excess Concentration Amounts) and the Principal Amount of the Loan requested, which shall be in an amount at least equal to $1,000,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, an amount equal to the Available Amount (after giving effect to any payments on the related Payment Date if the Funding Date occurs on a Payment Date)); and (ii) an updated Schedule of Receivables that includes each Receivable that is the subject of the proposed Loan. (c) Following receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Agents of a Funding Request, and prior to the Termination Date, each Lender Group severally agrees to make its Lender Advance of any Loan requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.01(b), subject to the conditions contained herein, in an aggregate amount equal to the Loan so requested. (d) In no event shall: (i) a Lender be required to fund a Principal Amount that would cause its Lender Percentage of the Loans Outstanding, determined after giving effect to such funding, to exceed its Commitment; (ii) a Lender be required on any date to fund a Principal Amount that would cause its Lender Percentage of the Loans Outstanding, determined after giving effect to such funding, to exceed its Commitment; (iii) any Loan be requested hereunder, nor shall any Lender be obligated to fund its Lender Advance of any Loan, to the extent that after giving effect to such Loan, the Loans Outstanding would exceed the Borrowing Base; (iv) the Principal Amount of any Loan exceed the Available Amount on such day; and (v) more than one Loan be funded on any Business Day. Section 2.02. Funding Mechanics. (a) If any Funding Request is delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Agents after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, two Business Days prior to the proposed Funding Date, such Funding Request shall be deemed to be received prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day and the proposed Funding Date of such proposed Loan shall be deemed to be the second Business Day following the date of such deemed receipt. Each Funding Request shall include a representation by the Borrower that (i) the requested Loan will not, on the related Funding Date, exceed the Available Amount and (ii) all conditions precedent to the making of such Loan have been satisfied or will be satisfied as of the proposed Funding Date. Any Funding Request shall be irrevocable.

47 154304283v7 (b) Each Lender's Lender Advance of a Loan shall be made available to the Agent for its Lender Group, subject to the fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.01 and Article Four, at or prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Funding Date, by deposit of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent's Account. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the related Agent in the event that any Lender Group either fails to make such funds available before such time or notifies the Administrative Agent that it will not make such funds available before such time. Subject to the fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.01 and Article Four, as determined by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent will not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Funding Date make all such funds deposited to the Administrative Agent's Account by the Agents available, in the same type of funds received, by wire transfer thereof to the Borrower's Account. If any Lender Group makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender Group as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Loan set forth in Section 2.01 and Article Four are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to the related Agent for such Lender Group, without interest. (c) The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided, that the Commitments of the Lender Groups are several and no Lender Group shall be responsible for any other Lender Group's failure to make Loans as required. Section 2.03. Reduction of Commitments. (a) At any time the Borrower may, upon at least five Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, each Agent, the Account Bank and each Hedge Counterparty, reduce the Facility Amount to an amount not less than the Loans Outstanding, which reduction shall be applied, unless otherwise Consented to by the Administrative Agent and the Agents, to the Commitments of each Lender pro rata based on the Lender Percentage represented by such Commitment. If any such written notice is delivered after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, five Business Days prior, such notice shall be deemed to be received prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day. Each partial reduction shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Any request for a reduction in the Facility Amount shall be irrevocable and the Borrower shall deliver no more than four such requests in any 12-month period. (b) In connection with any reduction of the Facility Amount, the Borrower shall remit to the Administrative Agent and the Agents, (i) instructions regarding such reduction and (ii) cash for payment to each Lender, in an amount sufficient to pay any Aggregate Unpaids with respect to such reduction, including any associated Breakage Costs; provided, that no such reduction shall be given effect unless the Borrower has complied with the terms of any Hedging Agreement requiring that one or more Hedge Transactions be terminated in whole or in part as a result of any such reduction in the Loans Outstanding and the Borrower has paid all Hedge Breakage Costs due to the relevant Hedge Counterparty for any such termination. Upon receipt of any such amounts, the Administrative Agent and Agents shall apply such amounts first to the

48 154304283v7 pro rata reduction of the Loans Outstanding, second to the payment of the remaining Aggregate Unpaids with respect thereto, including any Breakage Costs, by paying such amounts to the Lenders pro rata, based on their respective Lender Percentages. (c) On the Commitment Termination Date for a Committed Lender, the Commitment of such Committed Lender shall be automatically reduced to zero. On the Termination Date, the Commitments of all Committed Lenders shall be automatically reduced to zero; provided, that if the Termination Date occurs solely due to the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event and all Lenders have consented to the waiver of such Early Amortization Event, then the Commitments of all Committed Lenders shall remain at their levels immediately prior to the occurrence of such Early Amortization Event. Section 2.04. Extensions of Commitments. (a) Neither more than 120 days nor fewer than 60 days prior to any Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower may request in writing to the related Agent on behalf of its related Lender Group (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), that the related Committed Lender extend its Commitment Termination Date for an additional 364-day period as herein provided, which request will be granted or denied by each Lender Group in its sole discretion. Upon receipt of any such request, the related Agent shall notify each Committed Lender in its Lender Group. On or before the last day of the Election Period, the related Committed Lender shall notify the Agent for its Lender Group of its willingness or refusal to so extend its Commitment Termination Date; provided, that the failure of any Committed Lender to respond prior to the last day of the Election Period shall be deemed to be its refusal to so extend the Commitment Termination Date. The Agent for such Lender Group shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such willingness or refusal by the Committed Lender not later than the Business Day following the last day of the Election Period. If (i) the Committed Lender in a Lender Group has agreed to extend the related Commitment Termination Date and (ii) as of the Commitment Termination Date then in effect, no Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Commitment Termination Date then in effect for each such Committed Lender that has agreed to extend the Commitment Termination Date shall be extended to the date which is 364 days following the Commitment Termination Date then in effect or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day (or to any other date as agreed upon by the Borrower and each Committed Lender). (b) Within two Business Days following the end of an Election Period, the Agent for each Lender Group shall notify each other Lender in such Lender Group, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of the identity of any Non-Extending Lender and the amount of its Commitment. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may (but shall not be required to) request one or more other Committed Lenders to acquire all or a portion of the Commitment of the Non-Extending Lender and all amounts payable to it hereunder in accordance with Article Eleven on or prior to the related Commitment Termination Date of such Non-Extending Lender. Each Non-Extending Lender hereby agrees to assign all or a portion of its Commitment and the amounts payable to it hereunder to a replacement Committed Lender identified in accordance with the preceding sentence, subject to ratable payment of such Non-Extending Lender's Invested Percentage of the Loans Outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and a ratable portion of all fees and other amounts due to it hereunder.

49 154304283v7 (c) Prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date, if a Partial Expiration Event has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and the Servicer to apply any Collections in accordance with Section 2.06(vi)(B), except as otherwise provided in Section 2.06, pro rata to the repayment of such amounts owing to any Non-Extending Lender as of the date of the related Partial Expiration Event, commencing no later than the first Payment Date which is at least two Business Days following the Commitment Termination Date for the Non-Extending Lender, specifying the amounts thereof. Section 2.05. Interest Calculations and Payment Allocations. (a) Each Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum calculated in accordance with this Section 2.05. Prior to the declaration of the occurrence of the Termination Date pursuant to Section 8.01(b), each Lender’s Invested Percentage of the Loans Outstanding shall accrue interest on each day during the related Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Committed Lender Rate for such day. On and after the declaration of the occurrence of the Termination Date pursuant to Section 8.01(b), each Lender’s Invested Percentage of the Loans Outstanding shall accrue Interest on each day during the related Interest Period at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate for such day. (b) Interest computed by reference to Daily Simple SOFR hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days. Interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). In each case interest shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All interest hereunder on any Loan shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of such Loan as of the applicable date of determination. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Daily Simple SOFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (c) The Borrower shall pay Interest on the unpaid Principal Amount of each Loan for the period from the related Funding Date until the date that such Loan shall be paid in full. Interest shall accrue during each Interest Period and be payable on the Loans Outstanding on each Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.06. (d) The principal of and Interest on the Loans shall be paid as provided herein. In the case of Loans owned by an Agent as agent for its Lender Group, such Agent shall allocate to the members of its Lender Group each payment in respect of the Loans received by such Agent as provided herein. Payments in respect of principal and Interest (including pursuant to Section 2.13) shall be allocated and applied to Owners of such Loan based on their respective Invested Percentages, or in any such case in such other proportions as each affected Lender may agree upon in writing from time to time with such Agent and the Borrower; provided, that from and after the Commitment Termination Date for each Dissenting Lender until the earlier to occur of (i) the Termination Date and (ii) the date on which the aggregate amount of payments in reduction of Loans Outstanding made after the date of the occurrence of the related Partial Expiration Event equals the Partial Expiration Event Amount, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.06, payments pursuant to Section 2.06(vi)(B) in reduction of the Partial Expiration

50 154304283v7 Event Amount shall be allocated and applied to Non-Extending Lenders pro rata based on their respective Lender Percentages as of the date of the related Partial Expiration Event. (e) The interest rate on a Loan may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Section 2.17(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service. (f) At or before 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day prior to each Reporting Date, (i) each Lender shall notify the Agent for its Lender Group of (A) Daily Simple SOFR in effect for each day during the related Interest Period, and (B) if applicable, the date on which the Alternate Base Rate became applicable to its Invested Percentage of the Loans Outstanding or a portion thereof. At or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day prior to each Reporting Date, the Agents shall then notify the Borrower of all such rates. For such purposes, the Agents may rely conclusively on notices from Lenders as to the interest rate or rates from time to time applicable to their respective Invested Percentage of the Loans Outstanding. Each determination by a Lender of Daily Simple SOFR pursuant to this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders, each Agent, the Borrower, the Servicer, and the Collateral Custodian, in the absence of manifest error. (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, if at any time the rate of interest payable by any Person under the Basic Documents exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, then, so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be exceeded, such rate of interest shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate. If at any time thereafter the rate of interest so payable is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, such Person shall continue to pay Interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received from such Person is equal to the total Interest that would have been received had Applicable Law not limited the interest rate so payable. In no event shall the total Interest received by a Lender under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents exceed the amount

51 154304283v7 which such Lender could lawfully have received, had the Interest due been calculated from the Closing Date at the Maximum Lawful Rate. Section 2.06. Settlement Procedures. On each Payment Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Account Bank to pay, to the following Persons, from the Collection Account to the extent of Available Funds the following amounts in the following order of priority, as set forth in the related Monthly Report: (i) First, to the Servicer, an amount equal to any Unreimbursed Servicer Advances, to the extent not previously retained by the Servicer; (ii) Second, to the Backup Servicer, the Backup Servicing Fee, any out-of-pocket expenses that are reimbursable to the Backup Servicer pursuant to the Backup Servicing Agreement (including any Transition Expenses, but only if the Backup Servicer is not the Successor Servicer), and any indemnifiable amounts due to the Backup Servicer; provided, that Transition Expenses payable to the Backup Servicer pursuant to this clause may not exceed $100,000 in any calendar year; (iii) Third, pro rata (A) to the Servicer (including any Successor Servicer), the accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee and all Ancillary Fees to the extent not previously retained by the Servicer and (B) to any Successor Servicer, any out-of-pocket expenses and indemnities due to the Successor Servicer; provided, that aggregate amounts payable to any Successor Servicer pursuant to this clause may not exceed $100,000 in any calendar year; (iv) Fourth, pro rata (A) to each Hedge Counterparty (based on amounts due to each Hedge Counterparty pursuant to this subclause), any net payments due and payable under the related Hedging Agreement (other than Hedge Breakage Costs), and (B) to each Agent (based on amounts due to the members of each Lender Group pursuant to this subclause), for further payment to each related Lender, an amount equal to the sum of (1) the portion of Senior Monthly Interest and Fees due to members of the related Lender Group plus (2) any Breakage Costs of any related Lender; (v) Fifth, pro rata (A) to each Hedge Counterparty that has any due and payable Hedge Breakage Costs (other than Subordinated Hedge Breakage Costs), such Hedge Breakage Costs, and (B) to each Agent (based on Lender Percentage) for further payment to each related Lender, the Monthly Principal Payment Amount; (vi) Sixth, if the Termination Date has not occurred but a Partial Expiration Event has occurred, pro rata to each Agent for a Lender Group that includes a Non-Extending Lender (based on the Loans Outstanding to each such Non- Extending Lender) for further payment to each related Non-Extending Lender, an amount equal to the product of (A) such Non-Extending Lender's Invested Percentage as of its Commitment Termination Date times (B) all remaining Available Funds until

52 154304283v7 the portion of the Loan Outstanding owned by such Non-Extending Lender is reduced to zero; (vii) Seventh, pro rata to each Agent (based on the amount of the Subordinated Monthly Interest Payment Amount due to members of the related Lender Group), for further payment to each related Lender, the Subordinated Monthly Interest Payment Amount; (viii) Eighth, pro rata to each Hedge Counterparty that has any due and payable Subordinated Hedge Breakage Costs (based on such amounts due), such Subordinated Hedge Breakage Costs; (ix) Ninth, pro rata to each Agent (based on such amounts due) for further payment to the related Lender or the related Indemnified Parties, all other Aggregate Unpaids (other than the principal amount of the Loans Outstanding) then due to the Lenders and Indemnified Parties under this Agreement; (x) Tenth, pro rata (based on such amounts due) to the Backup Servicer and the Successor Servicer, any fees, expenses (including Transition Expenses) and indemnities not paid pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii), above, as applicable; and (xi) Eleventh, any remaining amount shall be distributed to, or as otherwise directed by, the Borrower. Section 2.07. Payments, Computations, Etc. (a) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day when due in Dollars in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent's Account, for further payment by the Administrative Agent to the Persons to who such amounts are due and payable. (b) Whenever any payment hereunder (i) 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, except in the case where the next succeeding Business Day would occur in the succeeding calendar month, in which case such payment shall be due on the preceding Business Day or (ii) is received after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, such payment shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day, and any such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of Interest, other interest or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be. (c) If any Loan requested by the Borrower and approved by a Lender and the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.01 is not, for any reason other than due to the fault of an Agent, a Lender or the Administrative Agent, made or effectuated, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify such Lender against any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender, including any loss (including loss of anticipated profits, net of anticipated profits in the reemployment of such funds in the manner determined by such

53 154304283v7 Lender), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Loan. (d) All payments hereunder shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement. (e) To the extent that (i) any Person makes a payment to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Custodian or any Lender or Agent or (ii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Custodian or any Lender or Agent receives or is deemed to have received any payment or proceeds for application to an obligation, which payment or proceeds 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 Insolvency Law, State or federal law, common law or for equitable cause, then, to the extent such payment or proceeds are set aside, the obligation 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 or deemed received by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Custodian or any Lender or Agent, as the case may be. Section 2.08. Collections and Allocations; Investment of Funds. (a) On or before the applicable Funding Date, the Borrower or the Servicer shall direct and instruct all related Obligors to make payments in respect of the related Receivables that are made (i) by mail to be made directly to the Lockboxes and (ii) by electronic payments to be made to the Lockbox Account. On and after the applicable Funding Date, the Borrower and the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all Collections are deposited to the Lockbox Account (unless this Agreement specifically provides that such Collections are to be deposited directly to the Collection Account). (b) The Servicer shall instruct the Lockbox Bank to remove all Collections from the Lockbox Account and deposit such amounts into the Collection Account within two Business Days of their deposit to the Lockbox Account. The Servicer and the Borrower shall deposit all other Collections to the Collection Account as soon as practicable, but in no event later than two Business Days after receipt thereof, and at all times prior to such deposit to the Collection Account the Servicer or the Borrower, as applicable, shall hold such Collections in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall be permitted to make all deposits in accordance with Section 7.03(c)(v) whenever the conditions set forth in that Section are satisfied. (c) The Servicer shall be entitled to retain and to reimbursement of all amounts remitted by or on behalf of the Obligors to the Servicer under the terms of, or with respect to, the related Receivables, that represent Ancillary Fees. (d) To the extent there are uninvested amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or the Hedge Reserve Account, such amounts shall be invested in Permitted Investments that mature no later than the Business Day before the next Payment Date, which Permitted

54 154304283v7 Investments shall be selected (i) prior to the occurrence of any Termination Event, by the Borrower or (ii) from and after the occurrence of any Termination Event, by the Administrative Agent. Absent the written instruction of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, the Account Bank shall invest funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Hedge Reserve Account in Permitted Investments described in clause (v) of the definition thereof. No Permitted Investment may be purchased at a premium. Any earnings (and losses) on the foregoing investments shall be for the account of the Borrower. (e) At any time that any amounts are on deposit in the Hedge Reserve Account, (i) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, enter into one or more Hedge Transactions on behalf of the Borrower in the form of interest rate cap transactions, any up-front payments related to which will be paid with amounts that are withdrawn from the Hedge Reserve Account or (ii) if a Mandatory Hedging Condition exists, the Borrower may elect to withdraw amounts that are on deposit in the Hedge Reserve Account in order to fund any up-front payments that it is required to pay under Hedge Transactions that it enters into in order to ensure that it is Fully Hedged. With respect to any Hedge Transaction entered into by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (i), the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy of all applicable documentation related to such Hedge Transaction to the Borrower and the Servicer.

Furthermore, any amounts remaining on deposit in the Hedge Reserve Account at any time that the Borrower is Fully Hedged, may be withdrawn from the Hedge Reserve Account by the initial Servicer and paid to, or as directed by, the Borrower. Section 2.09. Fees.

Section 2.10. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If any Regulatory Requirement (i) subjects any Lender to any charge or withholding on or with respect to this Agreement or a Lender's obligations under this Agreement or on or with respect to the Receivables, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of any amounts payable under this Agreement (except for changes in the rate of Tax on the overall net income of a Lender, Indemnified Taxes, or Excluded Taxes), (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, fee, tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes), insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or liabilities of a Lender, or credit extended by a Lender pursuant to this Agreement or, (iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to a Lender of performing its obligations or this Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on a Lender's capital or assets as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Lender under a this Agreement, or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, then, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Lender, such amounts charged to such Lender or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Lender for such increased cost or such reduction. The term "Regulatory Requirement" shall mean (i) the adoption after the date hereof of any applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity coverage) or any change therein after the date hereof, or (ii) any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency; provided, that for purposes of this definition, (A) the Dodd-Frank Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, and (B) all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel II or Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a "Regulatory Requirement", regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. The Borrower acknowledges that any Lender may institute measures in anticipation of a Regulatory Requirement (including, without limitation, the imposition of internal charges on such Person's interests or obligations under this), and may commence allocating charges to or seeking compensation from the Borrower under this Section in

56 154304283v7 connection with such measures, in advance of the effective date of such Regulatory Requirement (such charges or compensation, "Early Adoption Increased Costs"). The Borrower agrees to pay Early Adoption Increased Costs to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Lender, which are incurred by such Lender, beginning sixty (60) days after delivery by such Lender (or the Agent on its behalf) to the Borrower of a written representation and warranty (an "Early Adoption Increased Costs Representation") to the effect that such Lender is (x) recognizing Early Adoption Increased Costs, (y) setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, and (z) that such Lender actually incurred such costs. The Borrower further acknowledges that any charge or compensation demanded hereunder may take the form of a monthly charge to be assessed by such Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any Early Adoption Increased Costs incurred by any Lender prior to the expiration of sixty (60) days after receipt by the Borrower of the Early Adoption Increased Costs Representation from or on behalf of such Lender. The Early Adoption Increased Costs Representation shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (b) 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 the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Regulatory Requirement giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Requirement giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). Section 2.11. Taxes. (a) Defined Term. For purposes of this Section, the term "applicable law" includes FATCA. (b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Borrower Basic 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 Borrower 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) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. (c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower 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.

57 154304283v7 (d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after 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) 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 by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.01(e) 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 in connection with any Borrower Basic 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 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 Borrower Basic 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 (e). (f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower 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. (g) 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 Borrower Basic Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of

58 154304283v7 such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.11(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) 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 and the Administrative Agent on or prior to 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 or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is not subject to 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 and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to 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 or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (1) 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 Borrower Basic Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN orW- 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 Borrower Basic Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or 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; (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) 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 G-1 to 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 the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a "controlled foreign corporation" 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 W-8BEN-E; or

59 154304283v7 (4) 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 or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided, that 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 G-4 on 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 and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to 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 or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Borrower Basic 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 and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment, if any. Solely for purposes of this clause, "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 within five Business Days of its knowledge thereof notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

60 154304283v7 (h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. 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 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), 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 with 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 (h) (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 (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (i) Survival. Each party's obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Borrower Basic Document. (j) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the benefit of any Lender pursuant to this Section as a result of a change of law or treaty occurring after such Lender first became a party to this Agreement, such Lender will, at the Borrower's request, change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if, in the sole judgment of such Lender, such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to it or inconsistent with its internal policies. Section 2.12. Take-outs. (a) On any Business Day, the Borrower shall have the right to prepay all or a portion of the Loans Outstanding and require the Administrative Agent to release its security interest and Lien on the related Receivables, subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent, each Agent, the Servicer and the Backup Servicer at least ten Business Days' prior written notice of its intent to effect the related Take-out; (ii) unless a Take-out is to be effected on a Payment Date (in which case the relevant calculations with respect to such Take-out shall be reflected on the applicable Monthly Report), the initial Servicer shall deliver to the Administrative

61 154304283v7 Agent (A) a Take-out Date Certificate (which shall include a calculation of the Borrowing Base after giving effect to such Take-out), together with evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that the Borrower shall have sufficient funds on the related Take-out Date to effect such Take-out in accordance with this Agreement, which funds may come from the proceeds of sales of the Receivables in connection with such Take-out and (B) a computer tape of the Receivables, both before and after giving effect to such Take-out; (iii) on the related Take-out Date, the following shall be true and correct and the Borrower shall be deemed to have certified that after giving effect to the Take- out and the release to the Borrower of the related Receivables on the related Take- out Date, (A) no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, (B) neither an Unmatured Termination Event nor a Termination Event has occurred, nor will either result from such Take-out, (C) the fractional portion of the Eligible Pool Balance that represents the aggregate Adjusted Principal Balance of all Delinquent Receivables constituting Collateral will be no greater than 150% of the fractional portion of the Eligible Pool Balance that was represented by the aggregate Adjusted Principal Balance of all Delinquent Receivables that constituted Collateral immediately prior to the release of the related Receivables and (D) the fractional portion of the Eligible Pool Balance that represents the aggregate Adjusted Principal Balance of all Defaulted Receivables constituting Collateral will be no greater than 150% of the fractional portion of the Eligible Pool Balance that was represented by the aggregate Adjusted Principal Balance of all Defaulted Receivables that constituted Collateral immediately prior to the release of the related Receivables; (iv) on the related Take-out Date, the Servicer shall have received an amount equal to all Unreimbursed Servicer Advances associated with the Receivables to be released and the Administrative Agent shall have received, for the benefit of the Lenders and the Hedge Counterparties, as applicable, in immediately available funds, and shall then distribute to the applicable entities, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the portion of the Loans Outstanding to be prepaid, (B) an amount equal to all unpaid Interest (including Interest not yet accrued) to the extent reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be attributable to that portion of the Loans Outstanding to be paid in connection with the Take-out, (C) an aggregate amount equal to the sum of all other amounts due and owing to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Hedge Counterparties, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, to the extent accrued to such date (including Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs) and (D) all other Aggregate Unpaids with respect thereto; and (v) on or prior to the related Take-out Date, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an updated Schedule of Receivables listing all Receivables that will continue to be owned by the Borrower immediately following the related Take-out.

62 154304283v7 (b) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Account Bank in connection with any Take-out (including expenses incurred in connection with the release of the Lien of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any other party having such an interest in the Receivables in connection with such Take-out). (c) In connection with any Take-out, on the related Take-out Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions referred to in this Section, the Administrative Agent shall, at the expense of the Borrower (i) execute such instruments of release with respect to the portion of the Receivables (and the other related Collateral) to be released to the Borrower, including a Take- out Release, in favor of the Borrower as the Borrower may reasonably request, (ii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, any portion of the Receivables (and the other related Collateral) to be released to the Borrower in its possession to the Borrower and (iii) otherwise take such actions, and cause or permit the Collateral Custodian to take such actions, as are necessary and appropriate to release the Lien of the Administrative Agent on the portion of the Receivables (and the other related Collateral) to be released to the Borrower and deliver to the Borrower such Receivables and related Collateral. Section 2.13. The Account Bank. (a) The Borrower hereby appoints Mizuho Bank, Ltd. as the initial Account Bank. All payments of amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account shall be made on behalf of the Borrower by the Account Bank. (b) The Account Bank shall not be charged with knowledge of any Early Amortization Event, Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event unless a Responsible Officer of the Account Bank obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Account Bank receives written notice of such event from the Borrower, the Servicer or any Secured Party. (c) Without limiting the generality of this Section, the Account Bank shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest in the Collateral, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any recording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (ii) to see to any insurance of the Financed Vehicles or Obligors or to effect or maintain any such insurance, (iii) to see to the payment or discharge of any Tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any Lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Contracts, (iv) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicer or the Borrower delivered to the Account Bank pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Account Bank to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties or (v) to inspect the Financed Vehicles at any time or ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the Borrower's or the Servicer's representations, warranties or covenants or the initial Servicer's duties and obligations as Servicer and as custodian of books, records, files and computer records relating to the Contracts under this Agreement.

63 154304283v7 (d) The Account Bank shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability shall not be reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Account Bank to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement. (e) The Account Bank may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate, any Monthly Report, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. (f) The Account Bank may consult with counsel of its choice with regard to legal questions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by the Account Bank in good faith in accordance therewith. (g) The Account Bank shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies vested in it by this Agreement (except to comply with its obligations under this Agreement and any other Basic Document to which it is a party) or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement or in relation to this Agreement, at the request, order or direction of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have offered to the Account Bank reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby. (h) The Account Bank shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by a Secured Party; provided, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Account Bank of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation shall be, in the opinion of the Account Bank, not reasonably assured by the Borrower, the Account Bank may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Borrower or, if paid by the Account Bank, shall be reimbursed by the Borrower upon demand. (i) The Account Bank may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties under this Agreement either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian. The Account Bank shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence of any such agent or custodian appointed with due care by it hereunder. (j) (i) The Account Bank shall have no duties or responsibilities except those that are specifically set forth herein, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Account Bank. If the Account Bank shall request instructions from

64 154304283v7 the Administrative Agent or the Servicer with respect to any act, action or failure to act in connection with and as set forth in this Agreement, the Account Bank shall be entitled to refrain from taking such action and continue to refrain from acting unless and until the Account Bank shall have received written instructions from the Administrative Agent or the Servicer, as applicable without incurring any liability therefor to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Servicer or any other person. (ii) The Account Bank may act in reliance upon any written communication of the Administrative Agent concerning the delivery of Collateral pursuant to this Agreement. The Account Bank does not assume and shall have no responsibility for, and makes no representation as to, monitoring the value of the Contracts and other Collateral. The Account Bank shall not be liable for any action or omission to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LIABILITIES ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT OWED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UNDER ANY CLAIM OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY, OR ARE CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, BY ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY KIND BY THE ACCOUNT BANK. (k) Control Provisions (i) The parties acknowledge and agree that each of the Collection Account and the Hedge Reserve Account is intended to be a "securities account" (as defined in Section 8-501 of the UCC), and the Account Bank shall be the "securities intermediary" with respect to each of the Collection Account and the Hedge Reserve Account. Notwithstanding such intention, if the Collection Account and/or the Hedge Reserve Account constitutes a "deposit account" (as defined in Section 9- 102(a)(29) of the UCC), the provisions of this Agreement governing a "deposit account" shall apply to the Collection Account and/or the Hedge Reserve Account, as applicable. (ii) All securities or other property, including Permitted Investments, constituting financial assets credited to the Collection Account or the Hedge Reserve Account (other than cash, in either case) shall be registered in the name of the Account Bank, indorsed to the Account Bank or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Account Bank, and in no case will any financial asset credited to the Collection Account or the Hedge Reserve Account be registered in the name of the Borrower or any other person, payable to the order of the Borrower or any other person or specially indorsed to the Borrower or any other person except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Account Bank or in blank. (iii) All property delivered to the Account Bank pursuant to this Agreement that is granted to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured

65 154304283v7 Parties shall be promptly credited to the Collection Account or the Hedge Reserve Account, as applicable and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (iv) Each of the Collection Account and the Hedge Reserve Account is an account to which financial assets or other property are or may be credited, and the Account Bank shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, treat the Borrower as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any financial asset or other property credited to either such account. (v) The Account Bank hereby agrees that each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument, general intangible or cash) credited to the Collection Account or the Hedge Reserve Account, to the extent that the related account constitutes a securities account, shall be treated as a "financial asset" within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC. (vi) If at any time the Account Bank shall receive any order from the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties directing transfer or redemption of any financial asset relating to the Collection Account or the Hedge Reserve Account, or any instruction originated by the Secured Party directing the disposition of funds in the Collection Account or the Hedge Reserve Account, the Account Bank shall comply with such entitlement order or instruction without further consent by the Borrower or any other person. If the Borrower is otherwise entitled to issue entitlement orders or instructions and such entitlement orders or instructions conflict with any entitlement order or instruction issued by the Secured Party, the Account Bank shall follow the entitlement orders or instructions issued by the Secured Party. (vii) Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the "bank's jurisdiction" (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) and the "securities intermediary's jurisdiction" (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC). Section 2.14. [Reserved]. Section 2.15. Replacement of Lender Group. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10 or (b) any Committed Lender becomes a Defaulting Committed Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the related Agent and the Administrative Agent, require each Lender in such Agent's Lender Group to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.01), all of its respective interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent with respect to any assignee that is not already a member of a Lender Group hereunder, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) each member of such assigning Lender Group shall have received payment of an amount equal to all outstanding Loans funded or maintained by such Lender Group, together with all accrued Interest thereon and all accrued Unused Commitment Fees and Program Fees, as applicable, and

66 154304283v7 any other Obligations payable to them hereunder and under the Basic Documents, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding Loans) or Seller (in the case of all other amounts), and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.10, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to exist. Section 2.16. Defaulting Committed Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Committed Lender becomes a Defaulting Committed Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Committed Lender is a Defaulting Committed Lender: (i) Unused Commitment Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Committed Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(a); (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.03 hereof, the unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Committed Lender may be reduced to zero without any contemporaneous ratable reduction of the Commitments of the other Committed Lenders; (iii) the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Committed Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, a majority of the Lenders, the Consenting Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including, in each case, any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 13.01); provided, that this subclause (iii) will not be applicable with respect to any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender, as applicable, which affects such Defaulting Committed Lender differently than other affected Lenders; and (iv) the Borrower may replace such Defaulting Committed Lender in accordance with Section 2.15 of this Agreement. (b) In the event that the Administrative Agent determines that a Defaulting Committed Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Committed Lender to be a Defaulting Committed Lender, then (i) the Lender Percentages shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Committed Lender's Commitment and on such date such Committed Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent and the Agents shall determine may be necessary in order for such Committed Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Lender Percentage and (ii) the provisions of clause (a), above, shall, from and after such determination, cease to be of further force or effect with respect to such Committed Lender. Section 2.17. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 2.17, if:

67 154304283v7 (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Daily Simple SOFR; or (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that at any time, the Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark, the Loans shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Basic Document (and any Hedging Agreements shall be deemed not to be a "Basic Document" for purposes of this Section 2.17), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Basic Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Basic Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Basic Document, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Basic Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Basic Document.

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.17, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Basic Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.17.

68 154304283v7 (e) Upon the Borrower's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, and at all times during the continuation of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Loans will bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate.

70 154304283v7 or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Contracts to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral and (iii) none of the Administrative Agent, any Agent, or any other Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall any of the Administrative Agent, any Agent, or any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. Each of DFC and the Borrower represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of Collections by DFC or the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder will have been (A) in payment of a debt incurred by the Borrower in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Lenders and the Borrower and (B) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Lenders and the Borrower.

In connection with any sale of a Financed Vehicle, after the deposit by the Servicer of the proceeds of such sale into the Lockbox Account and subsequent deposit within two Business Days thereafter into the Collection Account, the Administrative Agent will, at the sole expense of the Servicer (which, in the case of any Successor Servicer, shall be reimbursable in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.06), promptly execute and deliver to the Servicer any assignments, bills of sale, termination statements and any other releases and instruments as the Servicer may reasonably request in order to effect the release and transfer of such Financed Vehicle; provided, that the Administrative Agent will not make any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such Financed Vehicle in connection with such sale or transfer and assignment. Nothing in this Section shall diminish the Servicer's obligations pursuant to Section 7.03 with respect to the proceeds of any such sale.

(b) If the Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder after five Business Days' notice from any Secured Party, such Secured Party may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the reasonable costs and expenses of such Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower as provided in Article Nine. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent, as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Borrower, (i) to execute or cause to be executed on behalf of the Borrower as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent's sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Secured Parties in the Receivables and the other Collateral and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables and the other Collateral, as a financing statement in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Secured Parties in the Receivables and the other Collateral. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Administrative Agent may determine, in its reasonable discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent herein. The Borrower hereby authorizes the filing of financing statements describing the collateral as "all assets of the debtor, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located, and all proceeds and products thereof" or words to that effect. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Section 3.04. Assignment of the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower hereby represents, warrants and confirms to the Administrative Agent that the Borrower has assigned to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder, all of the Borrower's right and title to and interest in the Purchase Agreement (including each Purchase Agreement Supplement). The Borrower confirms that, during the continuation of a Termination Event, the Administrative Agent shall have the sole right to enforce the Borrower's rights and remedies under the Purchase Agreement or any Purchase Agreement Supplement for the benefit of the Secured Parties, but without any obligation on the part of the Secured Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower under the Purchase Agreement or any Purchase Agreement Supplement. The Borrower further confirms and agrees that such assignment to the Administrative Agent shall terminate upon the Facility Termination Date; provided, that the rights of the Secured Parties pursuant to such assignment with respect to rights and remedies in connection with any indemnities and any breach of any representation, warranty or covenants made by DFC pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, which rights and

72 154304283v7 remedies survive the termination of the Purchase Agreement, shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of such assignment. Section 3.05. Waiver of Certain Laws.

Each of the Borrower and DFC is aware that in light of the circumstances described in the preceding sentence and other relevant facts, the filing of a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code for the purpose of making any Receivable or any other assets of the Borrower available to satisfy claims of the creditors of DFC would not result in making such assets available to satisfy such creditors under the Bankruptcy Code.

If at any time the Hedge Reserve Account Required Amount is greater than zero, then (A) no later than three Business Days prior to each Funding Date and no later than three Business Days prior to each Payment Date the Borrower (or the initial Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) shall obtain a quote for the purchase price of an interest rate cap that allows it to recalculate the Hedge Reserve Account Required Amount on such date and (B) beginning on the related Funding Date or Payment Date, as applicable, such quote shall be used to determine the "Hedge Reserve Account Required Amount" until the next succeeding Funding Date or Payment Date, as applicable. It is acknowledged and agreed that any Hedge Transaction entered into by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.08(f) shall be deemed to have been entered into by the Borrower for purposes of Borrower's obligations under this Section 6.03(a). (b) Each Hedge Transaction shall be entered into with a Hedge Counterparty and be governed by a Hedging Agreement. Any Hedge Transaction that is in the form of an interest rate swap shall provide for the payment on each Payment Date to the Hedge Counterparty of an amount calculated by reference to the notional amount thereunder and a fixed rate of interest per annum and for the payment on each Payment Date to the Borrower of an amount calculated by reference to the same notional amount thereunder and a floating rate of interest (per annum equal to SOFR or a related rate), in each case for each day during the related Interest Period. Furthermore, (i) the notional amount of each such Hedge Transaction shall amortize monthly based on an assumed "ABS Rate" agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (ii) the "Termination Events" and "Events of Default" that are applicable under each such Hedge Transaction shall have been approved by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent prior to the effectiveness of such Hedge Transaction, and (iii) each such Hedge Transaction shall have a final maturity date reflecting the expected repayment of the Receivables, taking into account anticipated losses and prepayments.

(c) If on any date any Hedge Transactions are in the form of interest rate swaps and the aggregate notional amount under all outstanding Hedge Transactions as of such date is either (x) less than 95% of the Loans Outstanding as of such date (after giving effect to any changes to the Loans Outstanding on such date) or (y) more than 105% of the Loans Outstanding as of such date (after giving effect to any changes to the Loans Outstanding on such date), then on the related "Adjustment Date" (which shall be either such date (if such date is a Payment Date) or otherwise the next Business Day after such date that is a Payment Date), the Administrative Agent may direct the Borrower to enter into one or more Hedge Transactions, increase the notional amount of one or more Hedge Transactions, or decrease the notional amount of one or more Hedge Transactions, in all cases as necessary such that immediately thereafter the

93 154304283v7 aggregate notional amount under all Hedge Transactions is neither (I) less than 95% of the Loans Outstanding as of the Adjustment Date (after giving effect to any changes to the Loans Outstanding on such date) nor (II) more than one 105% of the Loans Outstanding as of the Adjustment Date (after giving effect to any changes to the Loans Outstanding on such date). (d) The Borrower shall establish and thereafter maintain a segregated trust account in the name of the Borrower with respect to each Hedge Counterparty (each, a "Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account;) with a Qualified Institution in trust and for the benefit of the Lenders and the related Hedge Counterparty. In the event that pursuant to the terms of the applicable Hedging Agreement, the related Hedge Counterparty is required to deposit cash or securities as collateral to secure its obligations ("Posted Collateral"), the Borrower shall deposit all Posted Collateral received from the Hedge Counterparty into the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account. All sums on deposit and securities held in any Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account shall be used only for the purposes set forth in the related credit support annex ("Credit Support Annex") to the Hedging Agreement. The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, a Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account shall be (i) for application to the obligations of the applicable Hedge Counterparty under the related Hedging Agreement in accordance with the terms of the related Credit Support Annex and (ii) to return collateral to the Hedge Counterparty when and as required by the Credit Support Annex. Amounts on deposit in each Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account shall be invested at the written direction of the related Hedge Counterparty, and all investment earnings actually received on amounts on deposit in a Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account or distributions on securities held as Posted Collateral shall be distributed to the related Hedge Counterparty in accordance with the terms of the related Credit Support Annex. Any amounts applied by the Borrower to the obligations of the Hedge Counterparty under the Hedging Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Credit Support Annex shall be deposited in the Collection Account and applied in accordance with Section 2.06 of this Agreement. The Borrower agrees to give the Hedge Counterparty prompt notice if it obtains knowledge that the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account or any funds on deposit therein or otherwise to the credit of the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account, shall or have become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. (e) Within 30 days after the occurrence of any event defined as an "Event of Default" or "Termination Event" in a Hedging Agreement, the Borrower shall cause such Hedge Counterparty to assign its obligations under the Hedging Agreement to a new Hedge Counterparty which satisfies the requirements set forth in the definition of "Hedge Counterparty.” (f) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of all documents related to any Hedging Agreement, including confirmations, schedules and an aggregate notional amortization schedule. (g) All reasonably documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders incurred with each Hedge Transaction shall be paid by the Borrower.

94 154304283v7 (h) As additional security hereunder, the Borrower has granted a security interest to the Administrative Agent all right, title and interest of the Borrower in the Hedge Collateral. The Borrower acknowledges that, as a result of that pledge, the Borrower may not, without the prior written Consent of the Administrative Agent, exercise any rights under any Hedging Agreement or Hedge Transaction, except for the Borrower's right under any Hedging Agreement to enter into Hedge Transactions in order to meet the Borrower's obligations hereunder.

Except for such amounts and expenses for which the Servicer is entitled to reimbursement as provided herein, the Servicer will be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement, including the fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants, Taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with payments and reports pursuant to this Agreement, fees and expenses of subservicers and agents of the Servicer, and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement for the account of the Borrower. The initial Servicer will be required to pay all reasonable fees and expenses owing to any bank or trust company in connection with the maintenance of the Collection Account. The initial Servicer shall be required to pay such expenses for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than the Servicing Fee. Section 7.07. Reports and Audit. (a) Monthly Reports. On each Reporting Date, the Servicer will provide to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer and, to the extent requested or required by a Hedge Counterparty, such Hedge Counterparty, a Monthly Report. No such Monthly

104 154304283v7 Report is required to have been executed by a Responsible Officer unless such Monthly Report is delivered on a Funding Date. (b) Quarterly Report. By the 15th of each February, May, August and November, commencing in November 2022, the Servicer will provide a Quarterly Report to the Administrative Agent and, to the extent requested or required by a Hedge Counterparty, such Hedge Counterparty. The Administrative Agent or a Hedge Counterparty may request such report more frequently if required by regulators or to comply with Applicable Law (including Basel II and Basel III). (c) Serviced Portfolio Information. Upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, the initial Servicer shall provide, at its own expense, the Administrative Agent with information on the Serviced Portfolio regarding delinquencies, loss-to-liquidations, annualized losses and such other information as the Administrative Agent may request, but solely to the extent that such data is available to the Servicer without undue administrative burden or cost. (d) Audit. Once during each calendar year (commencing in 2023), at such times during normal business hours as are reasonably convenient to the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, at the sole cost and expense of the Servicer (provided, that such costs and expenses are reasonable and customary for similar types of inspections in the industry and do not exceed $75,000 per annum) and upon reasonable request of the Administrative Agent and prior written notice to the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall permit such Person or Persons as the Administrative Agent may designate (including the Backup Servicer or an independent accounting firm), with the approval of the Required Lenders, to conduct, on behalf of all of them, audits or to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Borrower or the Servicer where the Receivable Files are located, as the case may be, to examine the Receivable Files, internal controls and procedures maintained by the Borrower or Servicer, as the case may be, and take copies and extracts therefrom, and to discuss the affairs of the Borrower and the Servicer with their respective officers and employees (which employees, except after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event, shall be designated by the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be) and, upon written notice to the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, independent accountants. The scope of any audit or inspection will be a scope agreed upon between the Servicer and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may request to take the foregoing actions more than once per calendar year if it has a commercially reasonable basis for requesting such actions, but any additional inspections and audits shall be at the expense of the Administrative Agent. After the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event, Unmatured Servicer Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event, the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer and their respective representatives shall be permitted to take the foregoing actions without being subject to any limitation on the number of audits, visits or inspections that may be conducted during a calendar year and such audits, visits or inspections shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Servicer and such costs and expenses shall not be subject to a cap; provided, that the Administrative Agent and its representatives shall make reasonable efforts to coordinate, and provide a prior written notice of, such audits, visits and inspections. The Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, hereby authorizes such officers, employees and independent accountants to discuss with the Administrative Agent and its representatives, the affairs of the Borrower or the Servicer, as the

105 154304283v7 case may be. The Servicer shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Secured Parties in connection with the foregoing actions promptly upon receipt of a written invoice therefor. Nothing in this subsection shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any Applicable Law prohibiting the disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this subsection. In the case of any Successor Servicer, any fees or expenses of the Servicer referenced in this Section shall be reimbursable in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.06. Section 7.08. Quarterly Statement as to Compliance. The initial Servicer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter (beginning with the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2022), an Officer's Certificate, stating that (a) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding quarterly period (or since the Closing Date in the case of the first such Officer's Certificate) and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision and (b) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such quarter (or such shorter period in the case of the first such Officer's Certificate), or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Section 7.09. Backup Servicer; Entry into Backup Servicing Agreement. (a) If at any time the Performance Guarantor's long-term unsecured debt is no longer rated at least (i) "BB+" by Standard & Poor's and (ii) "Ba1" by Moody's, then within 60 Business Days the Servicer and the Borrower shall enter into a Backup Servicing Agreement. At all times that a Backup Servicing Agreement is in effect, (i) the Servicer shall perform all of its duties thereunder and (ii) the Borrower shall both perform all of its duties thereunder and shall cause the Servicer to consult with the Backup Servicer as may be necessary from time to time to perform or carry out the Backup Servicer's obligations thereunder, including the obligation, if requested in writing by the Administrative Agent, to succeed to the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant hereto. (b) The Backup Servicer shall be entitled to recover its fees and reimbursable costs as set forth in the Backup Servicing Agreement in accordance with Section 2.06 (but only to the extent that the same have not been paid by the Servicer). Section 7.10. Rights After Assumption of Duties by Backup Servicer or Designation of Successor Servicer; Liability. At any time following the assumption of the duties of the Servicer by the Backup Servicer, in its capacity as Successor Servicer, or the designation of a Successor Servicer (other than the Backup Servicer) pursuant to Section 7.14 as a result of the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event: (a) The Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, shall, at the Administrative Agent's request, (i) assemble all of the records relating to the Collateral, including all Receivable Files, and shall make the same available to the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer or any Successor Servicer at a place selected by the Administrative

106 154304283v7 Agent, and (ii) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections of Collateral in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer or such other Successor Servicer and shall, no later than two Business Days after receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to, or at the direction of, the Administrative Agent. (b) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take or cause to be taken any and all steps in the Borrower's name and on behalf of the Borrower necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrative Agent, to collect all amounts due under the Collateral, including endorsing the Borrower's name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing the Receivables. (c) The Successor Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Successor Servicer in such capacity herein. Such liability is limited to only those actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Successor Servicer and caused through its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Successor Servicer and, in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Successor Servicer may conclusively rely on the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished to the Successor Servicer and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement. (d) The Successor Servicer shall not be charged with actual or constructive knowledge of any Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event unless a Responsible Officer of the Successor Servicer obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Successor Servicer receives written notice of such event from the Borrower, the Servicer or the Administrative Agent. (e) The Successor Servicer shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risks or liability is not reasonably assured to it in writing prior to the expenditure of such funds or the incurrence of financial liability. Section 7.11. Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others. Except as expressly provided herein, neither the Servicer nor any of its directors or officers or employees or agents shall be under any liability to the Secured Parties or any other Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of its willful misconduct hereunder. Section 7.12. The Servicer Not to Resign. The Servicer shall resign only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) or if the Servicer provides an Opinion of Counsel to the Administrative Agent to the effect that such Servicer is no longer permitted by law to act as Servicer hereunder. No termination or

107 154304283v7 resignation of the Servicer hereunder shall be effective until a Successor Servicer, acceptable to the Administrative Agent has accepted its appointment as Successor Servicer hereunder and has agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Section 7.13. Servicer Termination Events. The occurrence and continuance of any of the following events shall constitute a "Servicer Termination Event" hereunder: (a) any failure by the Servicer to make any payment, transfer or deposit as required by it as required by any Basic Document, to which it is a party, which failure is not remedied within two Business Days; (b) any failure by the Servicer to deliver the Monthly Report by the Reporting Date, which failure is not remedied within one Business Day; (c) an Insolvency Event shall occur with respect to the Servicer; (d) any failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any other covenant or agreement of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement or the other Basic Documents to which the Servicer is a party, which such failure materially and adversely affects the rights or interests of the Secured Parties and remains unremedied for 30 days after the earlier of knowledge thereof by the Servicer or after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Servicer; (e) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in any Basic Document to which it is a party or in any certificate delivered pursuant to any Basic Document to which it is a party shall prove to have been false or otherwise incorrect in any respect when made, deemed made, or delivered, which such incorrect representation, warranty or certification materially and adversely affects the rights or interests of the Secured Parties and, if able to be cured, shall not have been cured for 30 days after the earlier of the date on which the Servicer first has knowledge thereof or the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Servicer; (f) DFC shall fail to pay any principal of or premium or interest on any Indebtedness having a principal amount of $5,000,000 or greater, when the same becomes due and payable (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise) and such failure shall continue after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or instrument relating to such Indebtedness; or any other default under any agreement or instrument relating to any such Indebtedness of DFC, or any other event, shall occur and shall continue after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in such agreement or instrument if the effect of such default or event is to accelerate, or to permit the acceleration of, the maturity of such Indebtedness; or any such Indebtedness shall be declared to be due and payable or required to be prepaid (other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment), redeemed, purchased or defeased, or an offer to prepay, redeem, purchase or defease such Indebtedness shall be required to be made, in each case, prior to the stated maturity thereof;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any delay or failure of performance referred to above shall have been caused by a Force Majeure Event, the applicable grace period referred to above shall be extended for 10 Business Days (and if no grace period is stated above, the applicable grace period shall be 10 Business Days). Upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Termination Date shall occur and, so long as any such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied within any applicable cure period or waived in writing by the Required Lenders, the following shall immediately occur without further action: (i) the

109 154304283v7 Revolving Period shall terminate and no further Loans will be made; (ii) the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of or with the consent of the Required Lenders) by written notice to the Servicer (with a copy to each Agent, Lender, Hedge Counterparty, the Backup Servicer and Collateral Custodian) (each, a "Servicer Termination Notice"), may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement; (iii) the Administrative Agent may direct the Servicer to direct Collections to an account other than the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account; and (iv) the Administrative Agent may cause the Collateral Custodian to deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Receivable Files and the related accounts and records maintained by the Collateral Custodian to the Administrative Agent, or its agent or designee, at such place as the Administrative Agent may reasonably designate.

(a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent, until a date mutually agreed upon by the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the Backup Servicer. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, at the time described in the immediately preceding sentence, appoint the Backup Servicer as the Successor Servicer hereunder in accordance with this Agreement and the Backup Servicing Agreement., in which case the Backup Servicer shall assume all obligations of the Servicer hereunder, and all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer as Successor Servicer. All actions taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall be taken upon the request or approval of the Required Lenders. (b) In the event that there is no Backup Servicer at the time that the Servicer is terminated hereunder, or the Administrative Agent does not so appoint the Backup Servicer to succeed the Servicer as Successor Servicer hereunder, or the Backup Servicer is unable to assume such obligations on such date, the Administrative Agent shall as promptly as possible appoint a successor servicer (each such party so appointed or, as applicable, the Backup Servicer as successor to the Servicer, collectively, the "Successor Servicer"), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. (c) Upon the termination and removal of the Servicer, the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the rights and responsibilities of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or shall thereafter be received, with respect to a Receivable, and the related accounts and records maintained by the Servicer. In the case that the Successor Servicer shall not agree to perform any duties or obligations of the Servicer hereunder, such duties or obligations may be performed or delegated by the Administrative Agent. (d) The Administrative Agent shall have the same rights of removal and termination for cause with respect to the Successor Servicer as with respect to DFC as the Servicer.

110 154304283v7 (e) The Successor Servicer shall act as Servicer hereunder and shall, subject to the availability of sufficient funds in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.06 (up to the Servicing Fee), receive as compensation therefor the Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 2.06. (f) All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the transferring of Receivables to the Successor Servicer, converting the Servicer's data to the computer system of the Successor Servicer, and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable transition expenses (the "Transition Expenses"). In no event shall the Successor Servicer be responsible for any Transition Expenses. If the predecessor Servicer fails to pay the Transition Expenses, the Transition Expenses shall be payable pursuant to Section 2.06. (g) Upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer; provided, that any Successor Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect to any obligation which was required to be performed by the predecessor Servicer prior to the date that the successor becomes the Successor Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the predecessor Servicer; (ii) no obligation to perform any repurchase or advancing obligations, if any, of the Servicer; (iii) no obligation to pay any Taxes required to be paid by the Servicer; (iv) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to this Agreement; (v) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer, including DFC; and (vi) no obligation to service the Receivables in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, but shall use its customary credit and collection policies for similar assets or those policies to be agreed to with the Administrative Agent. The indemnification obligations of the Successor Servicer are expressly limited to those instances of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Successor Servicer. Furthermore, to the extent that the Backup Servicing Agreement provides that any representations, warranties, covenants, or other agreements made hereunder by the Servicer, or obligations undertaken hereunder by the Servicer, shall not be made or performed, or shall be made or performed in an alternative manner, by the Backup Servicer in the event that the Backup Servicer becomes the Successor Servicer hereunder, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Agents, the Collateral Custodian and the Lenders agree that the representations, warranties, covenants, other agreement and other obligations of the Servicer hereunder shall not be applicable with respect to, or shall be modified with respect to, the Backup Servicer in its capacity as Successor Servicer and in the manner set forth in the Backup Servicing Agreement. (h) All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of this Agreement and shall pass to and be vested in the Borrower and the Borrower is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Borrower in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing of the Receivables.

111 154304283v7 Section 7.15. Merger or Consolidation, Assumption of Obligations or Resignation of the Servicer. Any Person (a) into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, (b) which may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Servicer may be a party, (c) which may succeed to the properties and assets of the Servicer substantially as a whole or (d) which may succeed to the duties and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement following the resignation of the Servicer, which Person executes an agreement of assumption acceptable to the Administrative Agent to perform every obligation of the Servicer hereunder, shall, with the prior written Consent of the Administrative Agent (which Consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement without further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement; provided, that: (i) prior written notice of such consolidation, merger, succession or resignation shall be delivered by the Servicer to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian (if other than DFC); (ii) immediately after giving effect to such consolidation, merger, succession or resignation, no Servicer Termination Event and no Unmatured Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and is continuing; (iii) no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event would occur as result of such consolidation, merger, succession or resignation; (iv) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Collateral Custodian (if other than DFC) an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, succession or resignation and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section and that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party relating to such transaction have been complied with and, in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, that such agreement of assumption is legal, valid and binding with respect to the Servicer and such other matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; and (v) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Collateral Custodian an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that either: (A) in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements, continuation statements and amendments and notations on Certificates of Title thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Borrower, the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian in the Receivables and reciting the details of such filings or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest. Section 7.16. Responsibilities of the Borrower. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall (i) perform, or cause the Servicer to perform, all of its obligations under the Receivables to the same extent as if a security interest in such Receivables had not been granted hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its rights hereunder shall not relieve the Borrower from such obligations and (ii) pay when due, from funds available to the Borrower under Section 2.06(xi), any Taxes, including any sales taxes

112 154304283v7 payable in connection with the Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Receivable, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower thereunder. Section 7.17. Custody of Receivable Files. To assure uniform quality in servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, hereby revocably appoints the Collateral Custodian as its agent, and the Collateral Custodian hereby accepts such appointment, to act as custodian, on behalf of the Secured Parties, of the Receivables and the Receivable Files. Section 7.18. Duties of Collateral Custodian. (a) Safekeeping. With respect to the documents constituting each Receivable File, the Collateral Custodian shall (i) act exclusively as the custodian for, and the agent and bailee (as such term is used in Section 9-313 of the UCC) of, the Secured Parties, (ii) hold all documents constituting such Receivable Files received by it for the exclusive use and benefit of the Secured Parties and (iii) make disposition thereof only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or with written instructions furnished by the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Custodian shall maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Receivable File as shall enable the Servicer and the Borrower to comply with this Agreement. In performing its duties as custodian, the Collateral Custodian shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that it exercises with respect to the files of comparable motor vehicle installment sale contracts and installment loans that the Collateral Custodian holds for itself or others. The Collateral Custodian shall maintain continuous custody of the Receivable Files and such other documents received by it in secure, fire resistant facilities. Each Receivable shall be identified on the books and records of the Collateral Custodian in a manner that (i) indicates that the Receivable is held by the Collateral Custodian on behalf of the Secured Parties, and (ii) is otherwise necessary, as reasonably determined by the Collateral Custodian to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Collateral Custodian shall report to the Administrative Agent any failure on its part to hold the Receivable Files and to maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review of the Receivable Files by the Secured Parties, and none of the Secured Parties shall be liable or responsible for any action or failure to act by the Servicer in its capacity as custodian hereunder. (b) Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Collateral Custodian shall maintain each Receivable File at one of the locations specified in Schedule D or, if a material portion of the Receivables Files are to be held in any other location, the Collateral Custodian will provide 30 days' prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, each Agent and each Lender. The Collateral Custodian may temporarily move individual Receivable Files or any portion thereof without notice as necessary to conduct collection and other servicing activities in accordance with its customary practices and procedures. The Collateral Custodian shall make available to the Secured Parties or their duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors a list of locations of the Receivable Files, the Receivable Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such times during normal business hours as any Secured Party shall reasonably request.

113 154304283v7 (c) Title to Receivables. The Receivable Files and the other documents delivered to the Collateral Custodian will be delivered from time to time to the Collateral Custodian for the sole purpose of holding for safekeeping. The Collateral Custodian shall not at any time have, or in any way attempt to assert, any interest in any Receivable held by it as custodian hereunder or in the related Receivable File, other than for collecting or enforcing such Receivable for the benefit of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties. (d) Instructions; Authority to Act. The Collateral Custodian shall be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders). (e) Indemnification by Collateral Custodian. The Collateral Custodian, in its capacity as custodian of the Receivable Files, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Secured Parties and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all loss, liability or expense that may be imposed on, incurred or asserted against the Secured Parties and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents as the result of any improper act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody of the Receivable Files by the Collateral Custodian; provided, that the Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any portion of any such loss, liability or expense resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of any Secured Party. (f) Effective Period and Termination. The Collateral Custodian's appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section. If the initial Servicer is terminated following a Servicer Termination Event, the appointment of the Collateral Custodian as custodian hereunder may be terminated by the Administrative Agent. As soon as practicable after any such resignation or termination of such appointment, the Administrative Agent shall appoint a successor Collateral Custodian to be custodian of the Receivable Files and the accounts and records relating thereto and the Collateral Custodian shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Receivable Files and the related accounts and records maintained by the Collateral Custodian to such successor Collateral Custodian, or its agent or designee, as the case may be, at such place as such successor Collateral Custodian may reasonably designate and (ii) otherwise cooperate with the successor Collateral Custodian in affecting the termination of the rights and responsibilities of the predecessor Collateral Custodian under this Agreement. From and after the appointment of a successor Collateral Custodian, the predecessor Collateral Custodian shall continue to perform all custodial functions under this Agreement until the date specified by the Administrative Agent in writing or, if no such date is specified, until a date mutually agreed upon by the predecessor Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, at the time described in immediately preceding sentence, appoint the Backup Servicer as the successor Collateral Custodian hereunder, and the Backup Servicer shall on such date assume all obligations of the Collateral Custodian hereunder, and all authority and power of the predecessor Collateral Custodian under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer. The Administrative Agent shall have the same rights of removal and termination for cause with respect to the Backup Servicer or any other successor Collateral Custodian as with respect to DFC as the Collateral Custodian.

114 154304283v7 (g) Inspection. The Collateral Custodian shall permit the Administrative Agent, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer and each Lender or their designee, upon reasonable prior notice and during the Servicer's regular business hours and at the reasonable expense of the Borrower, to periodically, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), the Servicer, the Backup Servicer and each Lender, conduct an audit of the Receivables and Receivable Files. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as DFC is the Collateral Custodian, the right to conduct inspections of the Collateral Custodian shall be governed by the provisions of Section 7.07(d). (h) Delegation of Duties. (i) The Collateral Custodian may perform any of its duties through one or more custodial agents without the consent of any Person, except as set forth in clause (iii) below. No such delegation will relieve the Collateral Custodian of its responsibilities with respect to such duties and the Collateral Custodian will remain primarily responsible with respect to such duties, and the Collateral Custodian acknowledges that it remains primarily responsible for the safeguarding of all such Receivable Files and shall be liable for any acts or omissions of such custodial agents while acting on its behalf.

Section 8.02. Actions Upon Declaration of the Occurrence of the Termination Date. Upon the automatic occurrence or declaration of the occurrence of the Termination Date following the occurrence of a Termination Event in accordance with Section 8.01(b), the Administrative Agent may, or at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall, exercise in respect of the Collateral the following remedial actions, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies otherwise available to it, including rights available hereunder and all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (such rights and remedies to be cumulative and nonexclusive): (a) The Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Loans Outstanding, any Interest accrued thereon and/or any other amount due and owing to any Secured Party against amounts payable to the Borrower from the Collection Account or any part of such account in accordance with the priorities required by Section 2.06. (b) The Administrative Agent may take any action permitted under the Basic Documents, including, without limitation, delivering any shifting control or similar notice under the Control Agreement. (c) Consistent with the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (and except as otherwise required by the UCC), the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of itself and the Lenders and without notice except as specified below, solicit and accept bids for and sell the Collateral or any part of the Collateral in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker's board or at the Administrative Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten Business Days'

119 154304283v7 notice to the Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Every such sale shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever of the Borrower in and to the Collateral so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against the Borrower or any Person claiming the Collateral sold through the Borrower and its successors or assigns. (d) Upon the completion of any sale under Section 8.02(c), the Borrower will deliver or cause to be delivered all of the Collateral sold to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale on the date of sale, or within a reasonable time thereafter if it shall be impractical to make immediate delivery, but in any event full title and right of possession to such property shall pass to such purchaser or purchasers forthwith upon the completion of such sale. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent or by any purchaser, the Borrower shall confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to such purchaser all proper instruments of conveyance and transfer and release as may be designated in any such request. (e) At any sale under Section 8.02(c), DFC, the Performance Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor. Any Secured Party purchasing property at a sale under Section 8.02(c) may set off the purchase price of such property against amounts owing to such Secured Party in full payment of such purchase price. (f) The Administrative Agent may direct the Servicer to direct Collections to an account other than the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account. (g) The Administrative Agent may exercise at the Borrower's sole expense any and all rights and remedies of the Borrower under or in connection with the Collateral. Section 8.03. Exercise of Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, any Agent or the Secured Parties, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies expressly provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Secured Parties would otherwise have pursuant to law or equity. No notice to or demand on any party in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or constitute a waiver of the right of the other party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

120 154304283v7 Section 8.04. Waiver of Certain Laws. The Borrower agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and the Borrower, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Administrative Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or such parcels as the Administrative Agent or such court may determine. Section 8.05. Power of Attorney. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Article, including: (i) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (ii) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (iii) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Borrower thereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto and (iv) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Basic Document. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an executed power of attorney in the form of Exhibit D on the Closing Date. If so requested by the Administrative Agent, directly or through a purchaser of any of the Collateral, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent or such purchaser all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request.

122 154304283v7 any Hedging Agreement, in each case which amount such entity believes in good faith is required to be repaid or disgorged; (x) any litigation, proceeding or investigation relating to arising from the Basic Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the use of proceeds of the Loans or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to the Borrower in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents; (xi) the use of the proceeds of any Loan; (xii) any failure by the Borrower to give reasonably equivalent value to the Seller in consideration for the transfer by the Seller to the Borrower of any of the Receivables and the related Collateral or any attempt by any Person to void or otherwise avoid any such transfer under any statutory provision or common law or equitable action, including any provision of the Bankruptcy Code; (xiii) the commingling by the Borrower of any Collections with other funds; (xiv) any claim brought by any Person arising from any activity by the Borrower in servicing, administering or collecting any Receivable; (xv) the failure of the Lockbox Bank to remit any amounts or items of payment held in the Lockbox Account pursuant to the instructions of the Administrative Agent given in accordance with this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, whether by reason or the exercise of setoff rights or otherwise; (xvi) all reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by any Lender or the Administrative Agent in connection with any amendments or supplements or waivers or consents (including review and analysis thereof) with respect to the Basic Documents or any other document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto or thereto (whether or not the same is finally agreed to) if the same is requested by the Borrower, or is required or necessary under the Basic Documents; or (xvii) any and all Sanctions against, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the defense thereof by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Agent as a result of funding all or any portion of the Loans or the acceptance of payments or of Collateral due under the Basic Documents.

For the avoidance of doubt, the

123 154304283v7 terms of this Section 9.01 shall not apply to any indemnification relating to Taxes, which will be governed by the terms of Section 2.11.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under any of the Basic Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or their Agents), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all present and future Lenders. (d) Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under any of the Basic Documents in accordance with a request of (i) Owners in its Lender Group having Invested Percentages aggregating greater than 50% of the aggregate Invested Percentages of all Owners in such Lender Group and (ii) Lenders in its Lender Group

127 154304283v7 having Commitments aggregating greater than 50% of the aggregate Commitments of all Lenders in such Lender Group, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all present and future Lenders in such Lender Group. (e) No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any breach of this Agreement or the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event, Early Amortization Event, Step-up Event, Stop-Funding Event, or Termination Event unless it has received notice from the Borrower, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer or any Lender, referring to this Agreement and describing such event. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to each Agent, and in the event any Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders in its Lender Group. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such event as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders, and each Agent shall take such action with respect to such event as shall be reasonably directed by (i) all Owners in its Lender Group and (ii) all Lenders in its Lender Group; provided, that unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such event as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders or of the Lenders in its Lender Group, as applicable. Section 10.05. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent nor 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 any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Servicer, DFC, the Backup Servicer or the Collateral Custodian shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and 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 the Borrower, the Servicer, DFC, the Backup Servicer or the Collateral Custodian and the Receivables and made its own decision to purchase its interest in the Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any 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 analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under any of the Basic 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 the Borrower, the Servicer, DFC, the Backup Servicer or the Collateral Custodian and the Receivables. Except for notices, reports and other documents received by an Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any 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 the Borrower, the Servicer, DFC, the Backup Servicer or the Collateral Custodian or the Receivables which may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. Section 10.06. Indemnification. The Lenders (i) agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (without limiting the obligation (if any) of the Borrower or the Servicer to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any such amounts), ratably according to their

128 154304283v7 respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have terminated, Invested Percentages) and (ii) in each Lender Group agree to indemnify the Agent for such Lender Group in its capacity as such (without limiting the obligation (if any) of the Borrower and the Servicer to reimburse such Agent for any such amounts), ratably according to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have terminated, Invested Percentages), in each case from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the obligations under this Agreement, including the Loans Outstanding) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the 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 of an Agent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of this Section shall survive the payment of the obligations under this Agreement, including the Loans Outstanding, the termination of this Agreement, and any resignation or removal of the applicable Agent. Section 10.07. Agents in their Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and any other party to a Basic Document as though it were not an Agent hereunder. In addition, the Lenders acknowledge that one or more Persons which are Agents may act (i) as administrator, sponsor or agent for one or more Lenders and in such capacity act and may continue to act on behalf of each such Lender in connection with its business, and (ii) as the agent for certain financial institutions under the liquidity and credit enhancement agreements relating to this Agreement to which any one or more Lenders is party and in various other capacities relating to the business of any such Lender under various agreements. Any such Person, in its capacity as Agent, shall not, by virtue of its acting in any such other capacities, be deemed to have duties or responsibilities hereunder or be held to a standard of care in connection with the performance of its duties as an Agent other than as expressly provided in this Agreement. Any Person which is an Agent may act as an Agent without regard to and without additional duties or liabilities arising from its role as such administrator or agent or arising from its acting in any such other capacity. None of the provisions to this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it. Section 10.08. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may assign its rights and obligations hereunder with the consent of the Required Lenders and upon ten days' notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon ten days' notice to the Lenders, each Agent and the Borrower with such resignation becoming effective upon a successor agent succeeding to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor administrative agent. Any successor administrative agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of resigning Administrative Agent, and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such

129 154304283v7 successor administrative agent effective upon its appointment, 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. After the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 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. Section 10.09. Erroneous Payments. (a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a "Payment") were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, 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 Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 10.09(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (b) Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a "Payment Notice") or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. (c) The Borrower hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion

130 154304283v7 thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower. (d) Each party's obligations under this Section 10.09 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or 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 under any Basic Document. ARTICLE ELEVEN ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS Section 11.01. Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Lender may upon at least 30 days' notice to the Administrative Agent and the Agents assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying percentage of all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment), except if being assigned to an Affiliate of the Lender, shall in no event be less than the lesser of (A) $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount and (B) the full amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower), for its recording in the Lender Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 or such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent, (v) the parties to each such assignment shall have agreed to reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with such assignment, (vi) each Person that becomes a Lender under an Assignment and Acceptance shall agree to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of Article Twelve and (vii) there shall be no increased costs, expenses or Taxes incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Group upon assignment or participation. Upon such execution, delivery and recording by the Administrative Agent, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and 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 Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). (b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties

131 154304283v7 hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of such financial statements and other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iii) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender 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 decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (iv) such assigning Lender and such assignee confirm that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to such agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to herein a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names, addresses and Commitment of each Lender and the Principal Amount (and stated interest) of each Loan made by each Lender from time to time (the "Lender Register"). The entries in the Lender Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Lender Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Lender Register shall be available for inspection by any Agent or Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (d) Subject to the provisions of Section 11.01(a), upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, accept such Assignment and Acceptance, and the Administrative Agent shall then record the information contained therein in the Lender Register. (e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and each Loan owned by it); provided, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Administrative Agent and the other 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) the Borrower provides its prior written consent to the sale of such participation (such consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each participant shall have the rights of a Lender (including any right to receive payment) under Sections 2.10 and 2.11; provided, that no participant shall be entitled to receive payment under either such Section in excess of the amount that would have been payable under

132 154304283v7 such Section by the Borrower to the Lender granting its participation had such participation not been granted, and no Lender granting a participation shall be entitled to receive payment under either such Section in an amount which exceeds the sum of (i) the amount to which such Lender is entitled under such Section with respect to any portion of any Loan owned by such Lender which is not subject to any participation plus (ii) the aggregate amount to which its participants are entitled under such Sections with respect to the amounts of their respective participations. With respect to any participation described in this Section, the participant's rights as set forth in the agreement between such participant and the applicable Lender to agree to or to restrict such Lender's ability to agree to any modification, waiver or release of any of the terms of this Agreement or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which such Lender may have under or in respect of this Agreement shall be limited to the right to consent to any of the matters set forth in Section 11.01. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant's interest in the obligations under this Agreement (the "Participant Register"); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant's interest in any Commitment or Loan or its other obligations under the Agreement) to any person except to (A) the Administrative Agent and (B) the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. (f) Each Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information, including Confidential Information, relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower. (g) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from (i) pledging or assigning as Collateral any of its rights under this Agreement to any Federal Reserve Bank or any other Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law or (ii) pledging or granting a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including payments to it under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents) under this Agreement to a collateral trustee in order to comply with Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act; provided, that in each case, (A) any such pledge or Collateral assignment may be made without compliance with Section 11.01(a) or 11.01(b) and (B) no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

133 154304283v7 ARTICLE TWELVE MUTUAL COVENANTS REGARDING CONFIDENTIALITY Section 12.01. Covenants of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Account Bank and the Collateral Custodian. Each of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Account Bank and the Collateral Custodian severally and with respect to itself only, covenants and agrees to hold in confidence, and not disclose to any Person, the terms of this Agreement (including any fees payable in connection with this Agreement or the identity of a Lender under this Agreement), except as the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders may have consented to in writing prior to any proposed disclosure, except it may disclose such information (a) to its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, auditors, subservicers, advisors or representatives, (b) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through the Borrower, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian, (c) to Mizuho Bank or its Affiliates or (d) to the extent it should be (i) required by Applicable Law (including filing a copy of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents (other than the Fee Letter and excluding from any such copy the identity of each Lender)) as exhibits to filings required to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding or (ii) requested by any Governmental Authority to disclose such information; provided, that in the case of clause (d)(i), the Borrower, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian, as applicable, will use all reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality and will (unless otherwise prohibited by law) notify the Agent or Lender of its intention to make any such disclosure prior to making such disclosure. Section 12.02. Covenants of the Administrative Agent, the Agents and the Lenders. (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, each Agent and each Lender covenants and agrees that it will not disclose any of the Confidential Information at any time received or obtained by it without the Borrower's prior written consent; provided, that it may disclose any such Confidential Information (i) in connection with participations and assignments pursuant to Section 11.01, (ii) to its officers, directors or employees or to Mizuho Bank or its Affiliates, each of which shall be informed by it of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and shall have agreed to keep such information confidential, and (iii) to its or its Affiliates’ Advisors (provided that such Advisors are advised of the confidential nature of such information and such Advisors are obligated to keep such information confidential pursuant to the terms of their engagement or applicable professional rules). Each of the Administrative Agent, each Agent and each Lender agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by its Affiliates and Advisors, and it agrees that its Affiliates and Advisors will be advised by it of the confidential nature of such information and that it shall cause its Affiliates to be bound by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to participations and assignments pursuant to Section 11.01 involving an Eligible Assignee other than an entity satisfying clause (i) of the definition of "Eligible Assignee", Confidential Information may not be provided to prospective participants or assignees before the execution of an Assignment and Acceptance, unless such Confidential Information is covered under a separate confidentiality agreement between the assigning Lender and such prospective participant or assignee pursuant to which such prospective participant or assignee shall agree to the provisions set forth in this Article.

134 154304283v7 (b) Each of the Administrative Agent, each Agent and each Lender acknowledges and agrees that any Confidential Information provided to it, in whatever form, is the sole property of the Borrower or DFC, as applicable. Neither such Person nor its Affiliates or Advisors shall use any of the Confidential Information now or hereafter received or obtained from or through the Borrower, DFC or any of their respective Affiliates for any purpose other than for purposes of engaging in, or as otherwise contemplated by, the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents. (c) If the Administrative Agent, any Agent, a Lender or any of their respective Affiliates or Advisors are legally compelled (whether by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigation, demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, the related entity shall, to the extent permitted by law, promptly notify the Borrower and DFC in writing of such requirement so that the Borrower and/or DFC, at their sole cost and expense, may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions hereof. The Administrative Agent, each Agent and each Lender or any of their respective Affiliates or Advisors agree to use its reasonable efforts, upon the written request of the Borrower or DFC, as applicable, to obtain or assist the Borrower or DFC, as applicable, in obtaining any such protective order. Failing the reasonably timely entry of a protective order or the reasonably timely receipt of a waiver hereunder, it may disclose, without liability hereunder, that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information that in the opinion of such party's counsel, it is legally compelled to disclose. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that the Administrative Agent, each Agent and each Lender or its Affiliates may be required to disclose (and may so disclose, without liability hereunder, provided that it complies with the following sentence) the Confidential Information or portions thereof (i) at the request of a bank examiner or other regulatory authority or in connection with an examination of it or its Affiliates by a bank examiner or other regulatory authority, including in connection with the regulator compliance policy of Administrative Agent, any Agent or any Lender, (ii) to any nationally recognized statistical rating organization (within the meaning of the Exchange Act) (an "NRSRO") in compliance with Rule 17g-5 under the Exchange Act (or any similar rule or regulation in any relevant jurisdiction), each of which shall be informed by Administrative Agent, such Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate, as applicable, of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and shall have agreed to keep such information confidential, or (iii) to any collateral trustee appointed by such Lender to comply with Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act; provided, that such collateral trustee is informed of the confidential nature of such information and such collateral trustee agrees in writing to keep such Confidential Information subject to an agreement with substantially similar terms as provided herein. (e) It is understood and agreed that no failure or delay by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent, the Account Bank, each Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder. Section 12.03. Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment and Tax Structure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any document related to the

135 154304283v7 transactions contemplated hereby, in connection with Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4, Section 301.6111-1T and Section 301.6112-1, the parties hereby agree that, from the commencement of discussions with respect to the transactions described herein, each party hereto (and each of its employees, representatives, Advisors, Affiliates or agents) is permitted to disclose to any and all persons of any kind (other than limitations imposed by State or federal securities laws), the structure and tax aspects of the transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to each such party related to such structure and tax aspects. In this regard, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that this disclosure of the structure or tax aspects of the transactions is not limited in any way by an express or implied understanding or agreement, oral or written (whether or not such understanding or agreement is legally binding) except as is reasonably necessary to comply with state and federal securities laws. Furthermore, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that it does not know or have reason to know that its use or disclosure of information relating to the structure or tax aspects of the transactions is limited in any other manner (such as where the transactions are claimed to be proprietary or exclusive) for the benefit of any other Person (other than as it may be limited by State or federal securities laws). ARTICLE THIRTEEN MISCELLANEOUS Section 13.01. Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, waived or modified by the written agreement of the Borrower and the Required Lenders.
