instrument. Each of the parties agree that this Amendment and any other documents to be delivered in connection herewith and therewith may be electronically signed, that any digital or electronic signatures (including pdf, facsimile or electronically imaged signatures provided by DocuSign or any other digital signature provider as specified in writing to the Agent) appearing on this Amendment or such other documents are the same as handwritten signatures for the purposes of validity, enforceability and admissibility, and that delivery of any such electronic signature to, or a signed copy of, this Amendment and such other documents may be made by facsimile, email or other electronic transmission.

For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

(c) The descriptive headings of the various sections of this Amendment are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

(d) This Amendment may not be amended or otherwise modified except as provided in the Loan Agreement.

(e) The failure or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall not affect the other provisions of this Amendment.

(f) Whenever the context and construction so require, all words used in the singular number herein shall be deemed to have been used in the plural number, and vice versa, and the

-5-

masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter and the neuter shall include the masculine and feminine.

(g) The Loan Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, represents the final agreement among the parties with respect to the matters set forth therein and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements among the parties.

Each Borrowing shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000, in the case of the first Borrowing hereunder, or $1,000,000, in the case of subsequent Borrowings, and shall be made from the several Committed Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments. The Lenders have no obligation to make any Loan hereunder except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, repay, or, to the extent permitted by Section 2.07, prepay, Loans and reborrow under this Section 2.01.

(ii)
payments of principal and interest on the Loans will be made to the Lenders according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans, and
(iii)
outstanding Loans will be continued and converted according to their outstanding principal amounts rather than the Committed Percentages of the applicable Lenders.

The Agent shall deliver to all Committed Lenders a copy of the Funding Package with respect to all Railcars funded on any Funding Date within 10 Business Days after such Funding Date.

SECTION 2.03

Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall promptly deliver to each Committed Lender (i) a Financing Notice notifying such Committed Lender of such Funding Date and of such Committed Lender’s ratable share of the Loans referred to therein and (ii) the pro forma Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by the applicable Borrower to the Agent pursuant to Section 2.02(b).
(b)
Funding of Loans. Not later than 11:00 A.M. on the applicable Funding Date, each Lender shall make available or instruct (followed by diligent attention to such instruction until such time as the Agent shall have received such Loan) its correspondent bank, if any, to make available its share of such Borrowing, in Federal or other immediately available funds, to the Depositary at the Depositary’s Office. Unless the Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article IV has not been satisfied or waived, the Agent shall, by 2:30 P.M., instruct the Depositary to make the amount of such Borrowing available to the applicable Borrower at the general deposit account in the United States designated by the Borrower in immediately available funds in a wire transfer. In the event that the conditions as set forth in Section 4.02 for such Loan are not satisfied or waived on the applicable Funding Date, the Agent shall instruct the Depositary to return to the Lenders their respective Loans advanced pursuant to this Section 2.03.

A Notice of Borrowing, once delivered to the Agent, shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. Following such Notice of Borrowing, the applicable Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill, on or before the proposed Funding Date specified in the Notice of Borrowing, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, including any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or such funds acquired by the Lenders to fund the Loans to be made pursuant to this Section 2.03(b). Any such loss, cost or expense shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.07(c) after any Lender shall have furnished to the Borrower and the Agent, with reasonable supporting calculations, a notice specifying the amounts thereof.

(c)
Funding by the Agent in Anticipation of Amounts Due from the Lenders.

| 42 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

in reliance upon such assumption, instruct the Depositary to make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount on the Agent’s behalf. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such share available to the Depositary, such Lender and the applicable Borrower (if and to the extent such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent hereunder) severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at (i) a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the rate set forth in clause (i) of the definition of the Applicable Rate, in the case of the Borrower, and (ii) the Federal Funds Rate, in the case of such Lender. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
(d)
Obligations of Lenders Several. The failure of any Lender to make a Loan required to be made by it as part of any Borrowing hereunder shall not relieve any other Committed Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make any Loan on the Funding Date of such Borrowing, but, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.06(h), no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on such Funding Date.
(e)
Failed Loans. If any Committed Lender (in such capacity, a “Failed Lender”) shall fail to make any Loan (a “Failed Loan”, and the amount of such Failed Loan, the “Failed Loan Amount”) which such Committed Lender is otherwise obligated hereunder to make to the Borrower on the Funding Date of any Borrowing and the Agent shall not have received notice from the Borrower or such Committed Lender that any condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan has not been satisfied, then, until such Committed Lender shall have made or be deemed to have made (pursuant to the last sentence of this subsection (e)) the Failed Loan in full or the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower or such Committed Lender that any condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan was not satisfied at the time the Failed Loan was to have been made, whenever the Agent shall receive any amount from the Borrower for the account of such Committed Lender, (i) the amount so received (up to the amount of such Failed Loan) will, upon receipt by the Agent, be deemed to have been paid to the Committed Lender in satisfaction of the obligation for which paid, without actual disbursement of such amount to the Committed Lender, (ii) the Committed Lender will be deemed to have made the same amount available to the Agent for disbursement as a Loan to the Borrower (up to the amount of such Failed Loan) and (iii) the Agent will disburse such amount (up to the amount of the Failed Loan) to the Borrower or, if the Agent has previously made such amount available to the Borrower on behalf of such Committed Lender pursuant to the provisions hereof, reimburse itself (up to the amount made available to the Borrower); provided, however, that the Agent shall have no obligation to disburse any such amount to the Borrower or otherwise apply it or deem it applied as provided herein unless the Agent shall have determined in its sole discretion that to so disburse such amount will not violate any law, rule, regulation or requirement applicable to the Agent. Upon any such disbursement by the Agent, such Committed Lender shall be deemed to have made a Loan to the applicable Borrower in satisfaction, to the extent thereof, of such Committed Lender’s obligation to make the Failed Loan.

In the case of the removal of a Protected Party pursuant to this Section 2.08(b), upon payment by the Borrower (from the Discretionary Account or otherwise) to the Agent for the account of the Protected Party subject to such removal of an amount equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans held by such Protected Party and (ii) all accrued interest, fees and other amounts owing to such Protected Party hereunder, including, without limitation, all amounts payable by the Borrower to such Protected Party under Article III or Sections 11.05 and 11.06, such Protected Party shall cease to constitute a Protected Party hereunder; provided that the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Article III and Sections 11.05 and 11.06) shall continue to govern the rights and obligations of a removed Protected Party with respect to any Loans made or any other actions taken by such removed Protected Party while it was a Protected Party.

(c)
Automatic Termination. The Commitments of the Committed Lenders shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Termination Date.
(d)

| 51 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

extended until the date which is 364 days after such Revolving Termination Date, then the Agent shall promptly (but in no event later than 2 days after receipt) notify each Committed Lender of such request, and each Committed Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Agent not more than 15 Business Days after the date on which the Agent shall have received the Borrower’s request (which date shall be set forth in the notice of such request given by the Agent) of its election so to extend or not extend the Availability Period. Any Committed Lender which shall not timely notify the Agent of such election shall be deemed to have elected not to extend such Availability Period.
(ii)
If one or more Committed Lenders shall timely notify the Agent pursuant to clause (d)(i) of this Section 2.08 of its election not to extend the Availability Period or shall be deemed to have elected not to extend the Availability Period by virtue of having not timely notified the Agent of its election to extend such Availability Period, then the Agent shall so advise the Borrower and the remaining Lenders, and the remaining Lenders then maintaining a Commitment or any of them shall have the right (but not the obligation), upon notice to the Agent not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Revolving Termination Date, to increase their respective Commitments by an amount equal in the aggregate to the Commitments of the Committed Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period. Each Lender electing to increase its Commitment hereunder shall specify in its notice to the Agent the amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment; provided that if the aggregate amount of proposed increases by all remaining Lenders shall equal or exceed the aggregate Commitments of those Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period, the amount of any increase in Commitments shall not exceed for any Lender the product of (A) the quotient of (x) such Lender’s Commitment divided by (y) the aggregate Commitments of all the remaining Lenders (in each case determined before giving effect to any increase in the Commitments of the remaining Lenders pursuant to this subsection (d)) multiplied by (B) the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period. Each increase in the Commitment of a Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by a written instrument executed by such Lender and the Agent and shall take effect on the Revolving Termination Date in effect for the Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period.
(iii)
If the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders shall exceed the aggregate amount by which the remaining Lenders have agreed to increase their Commitments pursuant to subsection (d)(ii) of this Section 2.08, the Borrower may, with the approval of the Agent, designate one or more Eligible Assignees willing to extend Commitments until the date which is 364 days after the Revolving Termination Date in effect for the Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not greater than such excess. Any such Eligible Assignee shall, on or prior to the Revolving Termination Date in effect for the Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period, execute and deliver to the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender an instrument, satisfactory to the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period, setting forth the amount of such Eligible Assignee’s

| 52 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

Commitment and containing its agreement to purchase the outstanding principal amount of any existing Loans with respect to such Lender, along with all accrued interest thereon (including all accrued interest thereon), and to perform all the obligations of, such Lender hereunder. The Commitment of such Eligible Assignee and the obligation to pay the purchase price for such Loans shall become effective, and such Eligible Assignee shall become a Committed Lender hereunder, on the Revolving Termination Date then in effect for the Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period.
(iv)
The Borrower shall deliver to each Eligible Assignee (upon request of such Eligible Assignee), on the Revolving Termination Date in effect for the Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period, a Note evidencing the Borrower’s obligation to pay Loans made by such Eligible Assignee pursuant to this Agreement.
(v)
If, after giving effect to any increase in the Commitments of one or more remaining Lenders pursuant to clause (ii) above and any assignments to or new Commitments of one or more Eligible Assignees pursuant to clause (iii) above, the extension of the Availability Period as provided in this Section 2.08(d) shall not have been approved by Lenders holding Commitments equal in the aggregate to 100.00% of the Committed Amount, then the Availability Period shall not be extended but shall continue in effect until the Revolving Termination Date and shall then terminate. If Lenders holding Commitments equal in the aggregate to 100.00% of the Committed Amount shall have elected to extend the Availability Period as provided in this Section 2.08(d), then (A) the Availability Period with respect to the Commitments of such Lenders and any which becomes a Lender hereunder shall continue until the date which is 364 days after the Revolving Termination Date in effect prior to such election and, as to such Lenders, the term “Revolving Termination Date”, as used herein, shall mean such 364th day; (B) the Commitments of the Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period shall continue in effect until the Revolving Termination Date in effect prior to such extension and shall then terminate, and, as to such Lenders, the term “Revolving Termination Date”, as used herein, shall continue to mean such Revolving Termination Date; and (C) on the Revolving Termination Date in effect prior to such extension, each Lender who has, or has been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period shall cease to be a Lender hereunder; provided that the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Article III and Sections 11.04 and 11.05) shall continue to govern the rights and obligations of such Lender with respect to any Loans made.
SECTION 2.09
Liquidity Fee TC . On each Settlement Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent (or at the direction of the Agent) for the account of each Committed Lender a fee (the “Liquidity Fee”) on such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the daily average Unused Committed Amount for the Measuring Period ended most recently prior to such Settlement Date, computed at a per annum rate for each day equal to: (x) 50 basis points, if the aggregate amount of the Loans then outstanding hereunder is less than or equal to 50% of the Committed Amount, or (y) 35 basis points, if the aggregate amount of the Loans then outstanding hereunder is greater than 50% of the Committed Amount. The Liquidity Fee shall commence to accrue on the

| 53 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

Closing Date and shall be due and payable in arrears on each Settlement Date for the Measuring Period ending most recently prior to such date, beginning with the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date.
SECTION 2.10
Pro-rata Treatment TC . Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, (including without limitation in Sections 2.01(b) and 2.10(b)), each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of or interest on any Loan, each payment of fees, each reduction of the Committed Amount and each conversion or continuation of any Loan, shall be allocated pro-rata among the relevant Lenders in accordance with the respective Commitment Percentages of such Lenders (or, if the Commitments of such Lenders have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the outstanding Loans of such Lenders); provided that, in the event any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10 is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agent, each Lender shall, upon the request of the Agent, repay to the Agent the amount so paid to such Lender, with interest for the period commencing on the date such payment is returned by the Agent until the date the Agent receives such repayment at a rate per annum equal to, during the period to but excluding the date two Business Days after such request, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter, the Corporate Base Rate plus two percent per annum.
SECTION 2.11
Sharing of Payments TC . The Lenders agree among themselves that, except to the extent otherwise provided herein, if any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Loan or any other obligation owing to such Lender under this Agreement through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, in excess of its pro-rata share of such payment as provided for in this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly pay in cash or purchase from the other Lenders a participation in such Loans and other obligations in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to the end that all Lenders share such payment in accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Agreement. The Lenders further agree among themselves that if payment to a Lender obtained by such Lender through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by payment in cash or a repurchase of a participation theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit (together with its share of any accrued interest payable with respect thereto) to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a holder of such Loan or other obligation in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 2.11 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders under this Section 2.11 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

SECTION 2.12
Payments; Computations; Proceeds of Collateral, Etc TC .
(a)
Payments by the Borrower. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a Loan Document, all payments by the Borrower to the Protected Parties pursuant to each Loan Document shall be made by the Borrower (or by their designee) to the Agent for the pro rata account of the Protected Parties entitled to receive such payment or, at the direction of the Agent, directly to such Protected Parties. All payments shall be made without setoff, deduction (except for Taxes which are expressly addressed in Section 3.01) or counterclaim not later than 12:00 P.M. New York City time on the date due in Dollars in same day or immediately available funds to such account or accounts (if payment is to be made directly to the Protected Parties) as the Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent or a Protected Party, as the case may be, on the next succeeding Business Day. In the event that a payment is made to Agent for the pro rata account of the Protected Parties entitled to such payment, the Agent shall promptly remit in same day funds to each Protected Party its share, if any, of such payments received by the Agent for the account of such Protected Party. Whenever any payment is to be made hereunder or under any Loan, or whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise occur on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made, and the last day of such Interest Period shall occur, on the next succeeding Business Day and interest at the Applicable Rate shall accrue on such amount from the original due date to such next Business Day; provided, that if such extension would cause the last day of such Interest Period to occur in a new calendar month, the last day of such Interest Period shall occur on the next preceding Business Day.
(b)
Payments by the Borrower. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.
(c)
Presumptions by the Agent. With respect to any payment that the Agent makes for the account of any Protected Party as to which the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each Protected Party, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Protected Party, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the Agent to any Protected Party or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(d)
Computations. All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. Interest shall accrue from and include the date of borrowing but exclude the date of payment.

| 55 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

SECTION 2.13
Adjustments to Advance Rate and Borrowing Base TC . The percentages specified in the definition of “Advance Rate” may be modified by the agreement of all of the Lenders. Any change in any such percentage shall take effect on the next succeeding Settlement Date or as otherwise agreed by the Borrower and each of the Lenders.
SECTION 2.14
Interest Rate Risk Management TC . The Borrower agrees that, upon the occurrence of any Hedging Event, it will enter into one or more Acceptable Derivatives Agreements no later than the last day of the Required Time Period, using funds available under clause (y) of clause fifth of Section 2.07(c)(i) or (iii), as applicable.

The Borrower will, to the extent required by any Committed Lender, amend any Acceptable Derivatives Agreement which is then in effect at any time when (i) there is any increase in the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, (ii) there is any change in the contractual payment schedule of the Loans, or (iii) the Derivatives Percentage is less than 85.0% or more than 115.0%, so that such Acceptable Derivatives Agreement, as amended, would comply with the definition of “Acceptable Derivatives Agreement” if first entered into on the date of such amendment.

Amounts received by the Borrower under any Acceptable Derivatives Agreement shall be deposited into the Collection Account and applied as set forth in Section 2.07(c).

SECTION 2.15
Replacement of Term SOFR or Successor Rate TC . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Majority Lenders notify the Agent (with, in the case of the Majority Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Majority Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(a)
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(b)
CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Agent, that will continue to provide such interest periods of Term SOFR after such specific date (the latest date on which one month Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);

then, on a date and time determined by the Agent (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (b) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR for any payment period for interest calculated that

| 56 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

can be determined by the Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Successor Rate”).

If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described this Section 2.15 have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 2.15 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark. and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a “Successor Rate”. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders object to such amendment.

The Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Agent.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero (0)%, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero (0)% for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY TC
SECTION 3.01
Taxes TC .
(a)
Payments Net of Certain Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower to or for the account of any Protected Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”), excluding, in the case of each Protected Party, (i) Taxes imposed on its net income, and franchise, branch profits, capital or net worth Taxes imposed on it, in each case by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Protected Party is organized, has an office or place of business or is a resident for Tax purposes (other than on account of executing, delivering, being a party to, performing its obligations under, receiving a payment under, receiving or perfecting a security interest under, engaging in any other transaction pursuant to or enforcing, or selling or assigning an interest in this Agreement or any other Loan Document), or any political subdivision thereof, and (ii) any withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document being hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”). If the Borrower or Agent shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any Protected Party, (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) such Protected Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or Agent shall be entitled to make such deductions and withholdings, (iii) the Borrower or Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at the Agent’s Office, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(c)
Additional Taxes. (i) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Protected Party for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.01) paid or payable by such Protected Party and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental

| 58 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Protected Party (with a copy to the Agent), shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(ii)
Each Lender shall severally indemnify the 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 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 11.06(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Taxes excluded under Section 3.01(a) above attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan 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 Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (ii).
(d)
Tax Forms and Certificates. Each Lender that is a ”United States person” under the Code shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages thereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as required by law on or prior to the expiration of the form or certificate most recently provided, provide the Borrower and the Agent with true, complete and correct Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax. Each Lender which is not a “United States person” under the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages thereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as required by law on or prior to the expiration of the form or certificate most recently provided, provide the Borrower and the Agent with true, complete and correct (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or W-8-ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces to zero the rate of United States Federal withholding Tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) any other form or certificate (including any certificate to the effect that such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower (or, in the event the Borrower is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the sole regarded owner of Borrower) within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower (or, in the event the Borrower is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the sole regarded owner of the Borrower) as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code), certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States Federal withholding Tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Additionally, if a Lender or Protected Party sells, assigns or transfers any participation in a Loan to another Person, such Lender or

| 59 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

Protected Party shall provide any new forms required as a result of such sale or transfer (including, if necessary, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY).
(e)
Failure to Provide Tax Forms and Certificates. For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower and the Agent with the appropriate form or certificate in the manner and as prescribed by Section 3.01(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), neither such Lender nor any related Protected Party shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 3.01(a) or 3.01(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States or any political subdivision therein as a result of such failure (and such Taxes shall not be considered an “Indemnified Tax”).
(f)
Obligations in Respect of Non-U.S. Lenders. The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender or related Protected Party or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender or related Protected Party, in respect of United States Federal withholding Tax pursuant to subsections (a) or (c) above (and such Tax shall not be considered an “Indemnified Tax”) to the extent that the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal withholding Tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a participant, on the date such participant acquired its participation interest) or to the extent such obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States federal withholding Tax arises after such date as a result of a change in residence, place of incorporation, principal place of business, or office or location in which Loans governed by this Agreement are booked or recorded by such Lender or Protected Party; provided, however, that this subsection (f) shall not apply (i) to any Lender or participant that becomes a Lender or participant as a result of an assignment, participation, transfer or designation made at the request of the Borrower or where a change of office or location in which Loans governed by this Agreement are booked or recorded is made at the request of the Borrower or (ii) to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any Lender or participant would be entitled to receive (without regard to this subsection (f)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the Person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such Lender or participant would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation.
(g)
Obligations in Respect of FATCA. Without duplication to a Lender’s obligation to provide tax forms or certificates under Section 3.01(d), if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under 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 Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the 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 Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the 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 payments. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(g), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(h)
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 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), 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)
Mitigation. If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Protected Party pursuant to this Section 3.01, then such Protected Party will agree to use reasonable efforts to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Protected Party, (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01, and (ii) would not subject such Protected Party to any unreimbursed cost or expense and is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Protected Party. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Protected Party in any efforts so undertaken towards mitigation under this subsection.
(j)
Tax Receipts. Within thirty days after the date of any payment of Taxes under this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

SECTION 3.02
Illegality TC . If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any Applicable Law, or any change in any Applicable Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the

| 61 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

applicable Lender to make, maintain or fund any of its Loans at a rate based upon Term SOFR (such event being hereinafter referred to as an “Illegality Event”) and such Lender shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Borrower and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, interest on the Loans of such Lender shall accrue and be payable at the Corporate Base Rate. If an Illegality Event does not affect all Lenders, the Agent shall make a good faith effort to cause the Lenders that are not affected by such Illegality Event to purchase the Loans held by the affected Lenders. The foregoing shall not delay or otherwise affect the Borrower’s obligation to pay interest at the Corporate Base Rate as provided in this paragraph.
SECTION 3.03
Increased Costs and Reduced Return TC .
(a)
If, on or after the date hereof, (i) the adoption of or any change in any Applicable Law (including any Existing Law (defined below)) or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Protected Party, (ii) any request, guidance or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or (iii) the compliance, application or implementation by any Protected Party with the foregoing subclauses (i) or (ii) or any Existing Law, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Protected Party becomes a Protected Party):
(i)
shall subject such Protected Party to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Loans made by it or its Note or its obligation to make Loans, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Protected Party in respect thereof (except for (A) Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and (B) Taxes imposed under FATCA or that are not Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 3.01(e) or Section 3.01(f) and (C) changes in Taxes measured by or imposed upon net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes imposed on such Protected Party or any Affiliate thereof;
(ii)
shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Protected Party; or
(iii)
shall impose on such Protected Party any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Protected Party of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining any Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof (any such increased cost or reduction hereinafter referred to as an “Increased Cost”), then, in any such case, upon notice to the Borrower from such Protected Party, through the Agent, in accordance herewith, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay such Protected Party, in accordance with Section 2.07(c), any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Protected Party on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified) for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

| 62 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

(b)
If any Protected Party shall have determined that (i) the adoption or the becoming effective of, or any change in, or any change by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof in the interpretation or administration of, any Applicable Law (including any Existing Law), regarding capital adequacy, (ii) any request, guidance or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, or (iii) the compliance, application or implementation by such Protected Party or its parent corporation of the foregoing subclauses (i) or (ii) or any Existing Law has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Protected Party’s (or parent corporation’s) capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Protected Party, or its parent corporation, could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Protected Party’s (or parent corporation’s) policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon notice from such Protected Party to the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Protected Party in accordance with Section 2.07(c), such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Protected Party on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified) for such reduction. Each determination by any such Protected Party of amounts owing under this Section shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, an Applicable Law regarding capital adequacy shall include, but not be limited to, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (ii) the publication entitled “Basel III: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems,” as updated from time to time (“Basel III”); or (iii) any implementing rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations or directives from any Official Body relating to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or Basel III (whether or not having the force of law and whether any such Applicable Law becomes effective before or after the date hereof) (collectively, “Existing Law”).
(c)
A certificate of each Protected Party setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Protected Party or its holding company as specified in subsection (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay each Protected Party the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it on the next succeeding Settlement Date in accordance with Section 2.07(c).
(d)
Promptly after any Protected Party becomes aware of any circumstance that will, in its sole judgment, result in a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section, such Protected Party shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure on the part of any Protected Party so to notify the Borrower or to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Protected Party’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Protected Party pursuant to this Section 3.03 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Protected Party notifies the Borrower of the change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Protected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except to the extent such increased costs were imposed retroactively and fewer than one hundred eighty (180) have elapsed since such Protected Party was notified thereof). The protection of this Section shall be available to

| 63 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

each Protected Party regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed.
SECTION 3.04
Funding Losses TC . The Borrower shall indemnify each Protected Party against any loss or reasonable expense (but excluding in any event loss of anticipated profit) which such Protected Party may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) any failure by the Borrower to fulfill on the date of any Borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, so long as any such failure is not solely due to the failure of the Agent or any Lender to comply with its obligations hereunder in all material respects, (ii) any failure by the Borrower to borrow or to refinance any Loan hereunder after irrevocable notice of such Borrowing, or refinancing has been given pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.07, so long as any such failure is not solely due to the failure of the Agent or any Lender to comply with its obligations hereunder in all material respects or (iii) any payment or prepayment of a Loan, whether voluntary or involuntary, pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made on a date other than the Settlement Date applicable thereto, so long as any such payment, prepayment or conversion is not solely due to the failure of the Agent or any Lender to comply with its obligations hereunder in all material respects (each such loss or expense, a “Funding Loss”). Such Funding Losses shall be determined by each Protected Party in its sole discretion and shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Protected Party, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid or not borrowed (based on Term SOFR), for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow to the last day of the then applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan which would have been applicable to such Loan on the date of such failure to borrow) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Protected Party) that would be realized by such Protected Party in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid or not borrowed or continued for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts payable under this Section 3.04 shall be calculated on the basis of the Committed Lender or the Conduit Lender, as applicable, obtaining funds for its Loans based on borrowing for a one-month period. A certificate of any Protected Party setting forth any amount or amounts which such Protected Party is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 3.05
Market Disruption TC .
(a)
If a Market Disruption Event (as defined in subsection (b) of this Section 3.05) exists with respect to any Loan bearing interest at the Applicable Rate for any day during any Interest Period, then the portion of such Loan held by each Lender for such Interest Period shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day (excluding the last day) during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum (in lieu of the Applicable Rate with respect to such Loan prior to giving effect to such Market Disruption Event) equal to the sum of:
(1)
the Facility Margin; plus
(2)
the actual cost of funds of such Lender(s) for such Interest Period; provided that, if a Market Disruption Event (as defined in subsection (b)

| 64 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

of this Section 3.05) exists and the provisions of this Section 3.05 are applicable, then each affected Lender shall certify, in a statement provided to the Agent and the Borrower, its actual costs of funds for such Interest Period; plus
(3)
at any time after the Revolving Termination Date, the Step-Up Margin.
(b)
For purposes of this Section 3.05, “Market Disruption Event” means, with respect to any Loan bearing interest at the Applicable Rate for any day during any Interest Period, one or more Lenders provide notice to the Agent and the Borrower, not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, that, with respect to such Interest Period, Term SOFR does not accurately reflect the cost to such Lender(s) of maintaining or funding its Loans for such Interest Period and the actual cost of funds of such Lender(s) for such Interest Period is greater than Term SOFR.
(c)
Notwithstanding and in lieu of anything provided herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary, with respect to each Interest Period with respect to which a Market Disruption Event is applicable, the Borrower shall pay to each affected Lender interest for such Interest Period at the rate provided in subsection (a) of this Section 3.05.

Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Bank of America, N.A., as Agent of such Lender to act as specified herein and in the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender hereby authorizes the Agent, as the agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated by the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including but not limited to the appointing of the Collateral Agent under the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or shall otherwise exist against the Agent. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing two sentences, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The provisions of this Article X (other than Section 10.09) are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and neither the Borrower nor the Collateral Agent shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of the provisions hereof (other than Section 10.09).
(b)
Collateral Documents. Without limiting the generality of clause (a) of this Section 10.01, each Lender hereby further authorizes the Agent to appoint Wilmington Trust Company as Collateral Agent and Depositary to enter into any Collateral Document as secured party on behalf of and for the benefit of such Lender or otherwise and to require the delivery of

| 95 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

any Collateral Document which the Agent determines is necessary or advisable to protect or perfect the interests of the Protected Parties in any Collateral and agrees to be bound by the terms of each of the Collateral Documents. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to Section 11.08, each Lender agrees that no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Collateral Document or Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Agent (or its designee, including the Collateral Agent and the Depositary) for the benefit of Protected Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent (or, at the Agent’s discretion, its designee, including the Collateral Agent and the Depositary) (i) to release Collateral as permitted or required under this Agreement or the Collateral Documents or by Applicable Laws, and agrees that a certificate or other instrument executed by the Agent or the Collateral Agent evidencing such release of Collateral shall be conclusive evidence of such release as to any third party, and (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 11.03 hereof, to enter into any amendments or waivers of the Collateral Documents which the Agent determines are necessary or advisable, including, without limitation, those Collateral Documents the form of which are exhibits to this Agreement
SECTION 10.02
Delegation of Duties TC . The Agent and the Collateral Agent may execute any of their respective duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Neither the Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 10.03
Exculpatory Provisions TC . Neither the Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection herewith or in connection with any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or participants for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Facility Parties contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial statement or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent or the Collateral Agent under or in connection herewith or in connection with the other Loan Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency therefor of any of the other Loan Documents, or for any failure of any Facility Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or of the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Facility Parties.
SECTION 10.04
Reliance on Communications TC . Each of the Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex, teletype or e-mail message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or

| 96 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any of the Facility Parties, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct). The Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of its interests hereunder for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent in accordance with Section 11.06(b). Each of the Collateral Agent and the Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each of the Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Majority Lenders (or to the extent specifically provided in Section 11.03, all the Lenders) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders (including their successors and assigns). Where this Agreement expressly permits or prohibits an action unless the Majority Lenders (or to the extent specifically provided in Section 11.03, all the Lenders) otherwise determine, each of the Agent and the Collateral Agent shall, and in all other instances the Agent and the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be required to, initiate any solicitation for the consent or vote of the Lenders.
SECTION 10.05
Notice of Default TC . The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, Manager Event of Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender, the Manager or the Borrower referring to this Agreement or the Management Agreement, as applicable, describing such Default, the Manager Event of Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. If the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Each of the Agent and the Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default, Manager Event of Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, has received any such direction, the Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default, Manager Event of Default or Event of Default or it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
SECTION 10.06
Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by the Agent or Collateral Agent TC . Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor the Collateral Agent has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent or Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent or Collateral Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Agent or Collateral Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender represents to the Agent and Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Collateral 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, assets, operations, property, financial and other condition,

| 97 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower, and all requirements of Applicable Law, and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder, neither the Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.
SECTION 10.07
Indemnification TC . Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders agree, severally but not jointly and subject to the provisions of Section 11.06(h), to indemnify the Agent and the Collateral Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitments (or if the Commitments have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of outstanding Loans of the Lenders), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following payment in full of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent or the Collateral Agent in each of their respective capacities as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent or Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent or Collateral Agent of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. If any indemnity furnished to the Agent or Collateral Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, be insufficient or become impaired, each of the Agent or Collateral Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each of the Agent and Collateral Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by each of the Agent and Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent or Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Obligations and all other obligations and amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

| 98 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

SECTION 10.08
Agent and Collateral Agent in Their Individual Capacities TC . The Agent, the Collateral Agent and their respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting and other business with either Facility Party as though the Agent or Collateral Agent were not the Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder or under another Loan Document. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to any such activities, the Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Facility Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Facility Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that neither the Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to the Loans made by and all obligations owing to it, each of the Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it was not the Agent or Collateral Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in their respective individual capacities.
SECTION 10.09
Successor Agents TC . The Agent may, at any time, resign upon 30 days’ written notice to the Lenders. If the Agent resigns under a Loan Document, the Majority Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Agent, which successor Agent, if other than a Committed Lender, shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment prior to the effective date of the resignation of the resigning Agent, then the resigning Agent shall have the right, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, to appoint a successor Agent; provided such successor Agent is a Lender hereunder or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the resigning Agent, the resigning Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor Agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as an Agent, as appropriate, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Section 10.09 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent within 60 days after the retiring Agent’s giving notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless become effective and the Lenders shall perform all duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.
SECTION 10.10
Request for Documents TC . Each of the Agent and the Collateral Agent shall from time to time upon reasonable request therefor furnish each Lender with copies of Funding Packages, and/or Loan Documents (to the extent such Funding Packages, and/or Loan Documents are provided by the Borrower or other third parties, in the form and to the extent provided to the Agent or the Collateral Agent by the Borrower or such third parties).

| 99 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

SECTION 10.11
Recovery of Erroneous Payments TC . Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Protected Party (the “Credit Party”), whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by the Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Credit Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Credit Party in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Credit Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Agent shall inform each Credit Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Credit Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender would otherwise have.

The Borrower shall, no later than 20 days following demand, reimburse any Indemnitee for any Indemnified Liability referred to above or, upon request from any Indemnitee, shall pay such amounts directly. Any payment made to or on behalf of any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 11.05 shall be adjusted to such amount as will, after taking into account all Taxes imposed with respect to the accrual or receipt of such payment (as the same may be increased pursuant to this sentence), equal the amount of the payment. To the extent that any Facility Party in fact indemnifies any Indemnitee pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.05 (other than in respect of Taxes), such Facility Party shall be subrogated to such Indemnitee’s rights in the affected transaction and shall have a right to determine the settlement of claims therein.

| 105 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

If a claim of the type described above is made against an Indemnitee and such Indemnitee has notice thereof, such Indemnitee shall promptly, upon receiving such notice, give notice of such claim to the Borrower; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release any Facility Party from any of its obligations hereunder except if and to the extent that such failure results in an increase in any Facility Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder. The Facility Parties shall be entitled, in each case at their sole cost and expense, acting through counsel reasonably acceptable to the relevant Indemnitee: (i) in any judicial or administrative proceeding that involves solely a claim of the type described above, to assume responsibility for and control thereof, (ii) in any judicial or administrative proceeding involving a claim of the type described above and other claims related or unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than with respect to Taxes), to assume responsibility for and control of such claim, to the extent that the same may be and is severed from such other claims (and such Indemnitee shall use its best efforts to obtain such severance), and (iii) in any other case, to be consulted by such Indemnitee with respect to judicial proceedings subject to the control of such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, no Facility Party shall be entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any such judicial or administrative proceedings: (A) while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (B) if such proceedings will involve any risk of criminal liability or a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of any part of the Collateral; or (C) to the extent that the Indemnitee has defenses available to it which are not available to any Facility Party and allowing such Facility Party to assert such defenses will be prejudicial to the interests of such Indemnitee; provided that the limitation on the Facility Parties’ ability to control such judicial or administrative proceeding shall apply only to those aspects of such proceeding which address issues with respect to which such defenses are available.

The relevant Indemnitee shall supply the Borrower with such information reasonably requested by the Borrower as is necessary or advisable for either Facility Party to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 11.05. Such Indemnitee shall not enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any covered claim without the prior written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be protected with respect to such covered claim.

SECTION 11.06
Successors and Assigns TC .
(a)
Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided that no Facility Party may assign or transfer any of its interests and obligations without the prior written consent of either the Majority Lenders or the Lenders, as the terms set forth in Section 11.03 may require;
(b)
Assignments. Any Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Loans and its Commitments); provided, however, that

except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of an existing Lender or any Approved Fund (A) the aggregate amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not, without the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, be less than $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or such other amount as shall equal the assigning Lender’s entire Commitment) and (B) after giving effect to such assignment, unless otherwise consented to by the Borrower, the aggregate amount of the Commitment and/or Loans of the assigning Lender shall not be less than $2,500,000 (unless the assigning Lender shall have assigned its entire Commitment and/or the entire balance of the outstanding Loans);
(iii)
the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent for its acceptance an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit C, together with any Note subject to such assignment and a processing fee of $3,500, payable or agreed between the assigning Lender and the assignee; and
(iv)
no such assignment shall result, as of the effective date of such assignment, in any increase in the obligations of the Borrower or diminishment of the rights of the Borrower under the Loan Documents and the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse any such assignee pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.03 or 3.04 in an amount which, at any time after the effective date of such assignment, exceeds the amount that would have been payable thereunder to the assigning Lender had such Lender not entered into such assignment; provided that any such assignment shall otherwise be without prejudice to the assignee’s rights under Sections 3.01, 3.03 or 3.04;

provided further, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with clause (iii) above.

(c)
Assignment and Acceptance. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance in accordance with this Section 11.06, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and the assignee warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) except as set forth in clause (i) above, 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, any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or the financial condition of the Facility Parties or the performance or observance by any Facility Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such assignment agreement; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

to Section 6.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Collateral 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 and the other Loan Documents; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each of the Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document as are delegated to each of the Agent and the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender. Upon execution, delivery, and acceptance of such Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of such assignment, have the obligations, rights, and benefits of a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.06(c), the assignor, the Agent and the Facility Parties shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new Notes are issued to the assignor and the assignee. In addition, the assignee shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of Taxes in accordance with Section 3.01.
(d)
Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Agent to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 11.06(d), to (i) maintain a register (the “Register”) on which the Agent will record the Commitments from time to time of each Lender, the Loans made by each Lender and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender and to (ii) retain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to the Agent pursuant to this Section. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligation in respect of such Loans. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person in whose name a Loan and the Note evidencing the same is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice or any provision herein to the contrary. With respect to any Lender, the assignment or other transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made and any Note issued pursuant to this Agreement shall not be effective until such assignment or other transfer is recorded on the Register and, except to the extent provided in this Section 11.06(d), otherwise complies with Section 11.06, and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferring Lender with respect to such Commitments, Loans and Notes shall remain owing to the transferring Lender. The registration of assignment or other transfer of all or part of any Commitments, Loans and Notes for a Lender shall be recorded by the Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the administrative fee referred to in Section 11.06(b)(iii). The Register shall be available at the offices where kept by the Agent for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent. In addition to such inspection rights, upon request of any Lender, the Agent will provide to such Lender an electronic copy of the Register, together with a current copy of Schedule 11.01 hereto.

| 108 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

(e)
Participations. Each Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to one or more Persons in all or a portion of its rights, obligations or rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Loans owing to it and any Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participant shall be entitled to the benefit of right of setoff contained in Section 11.08 and the yield protection provisions contained in Sections 3.01, 3.03 and 3.04 to the same extent that the Lender from which such participant acquired its participation would be entitled to the benefits of such yield protections; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse any participant pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.03 or 3.04 in an amount which exceeds the amount that would have been payable thereunder to such Lender had such Lender not sold such participation and (iv) the Facility Parties, the 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 such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Facility Parties relating to the Obligations owing to such Lender and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on such Loans or Notes, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on such Loans or Notes or extending its Commitment). Each Lender that sells a participating interest in any Loan, Commitment or other interest to a participant shall, as agent of the Borrower solely for the purpose of this Section 11.06(e), 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 any Loan, Commitment or other interest (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 Loans, Commitments or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan, Commitment 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(f)
Other Assignments. Any Lender may at any time (i) assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Loans or Notes to a Governmental Authority, (ii) pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Loans or Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender and (iii) grant to a Conduit Lender referred to in subsection (h) below identified as such in writing from time to time by such Lender to the Agent and the Borrower the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loans that such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to the Agreement; provided that no such assignment, option, pledge or security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Governmental Authority or other person to which such option, pledge or assignment has been made for such Lender as a party hereto.

| 109 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

(g)
Information. Any Lender may furnish any information concerning any Facility Party in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 11.07.
(h)
Conduit Lenders, etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Committed Lender, (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a conduit lender, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Agent and the Borrower (a “Conduit Lender”) the option to fund all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to fund pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any Conduit Lender to fund any Loan and (ii) if a Conduit Lender elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to fund all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The funding of a Loan by a Conduit Lender hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent that, and as if, such Loan were funded by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no Conduit Lender shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable for so long as, and to the extent, the Granting Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Conduit Lender may disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer, or investors, or provider of any surety or guarantee to such Conduit Lender. This subsection (h) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Loan is being funded by a Conduit Lender at the time of such amendment. Each Conduit Lender shall be permitted, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, to assign any or all of its interests or obligations under this Agreement to its liquidity provider pursuant to the terms of the related liquidity asset purchase agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt, such assignment shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 11.06(b); provided, however, that (i) such Conduit Lender’s related Granting Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged and (ii) such Granting Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations.
SECTION 11.07
Confidentiality TC . Subject to the provisions of Section 11.06(h), each of the Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority with jurisdiction over the Agent, the Collateral Agent or Lender, as applicable; (iii) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (iv) to any other party to this Agreement; (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any Eligible Assignee of or participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (B) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrower

| 110 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

or (C) any Support Party or any managing agent of a Lender that is a commercial paper conduit; (vii) with the written consent of the Borrower; (viii) to the extent such information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; or (ix) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s or its Affiliates’ investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or its Affiliates. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of any Facility Party relating to any Facility Party or its respective business, other than any such information that is available to the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by or on behalf of a Facility Party; provided that, in the case of information received from or on behalf of a Facility Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
SECTION 11.08
Set-off TC . In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender (and each of its Affiliates) is authorized at any time and from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (all of such rights being hereby expressly waived), to set-off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or specific) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, branches, agencies or Affiliates of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder, under the Loans and Notes, under the other Loan Documents or otherwise, irrespective of whether the Agent or the Lenders shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured, and any such set-off shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default even though such charge is made or entered on the books of such Lender subsequent thereto. The Borrower hereby agree that to the extent permitted by law any Person purchasing a participation in the Loans and Commitments hereunder may exercise all rights of set-off with respect to its participation interest as fully as if such Person were a Lender hereunder and any such set-off shall reduce the amount owed by the Borrower to the Lender.
SECTION 11.09
Interest Rate Limitation TC . The Agent, the Lenders and the Facility Parties and any other parties to the Loan Documents intend to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof such Persons stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by Applicable Law from time to time in effect. Neither any Facility Party nor any present or future guarantors, endorsers, or other Persons hereafter becoming liable for payment of any Credit Obligation shall ever be liable for unearned interest thereon or shall ever be required to pay interest thereon in excess of the maximum amount that may be lawfully charged

| 111 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

under Applicable Law from time to time in effect, and the provisions of this Section 11.09 shall control over all other provisions of the Loan Documents which may be in conflict or apparent conflict herewith. The Lenders and the Agent expressly disavow any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of any Credit Obligation is accelerated. If (i) the maturity of any Credit Obligation is accelerated for any reason, (ii) any Credit Obligation is prepaid and as a result any amounts held to constitute interest are determined to be in excess of the legal maximum, or (iii) any Lender of any other holder of any or all of the Credit Obligations shall otherwise collect moneys which are determined to constitute interest which would otherwise increase the interest on any or all of the Credit Obligations to an amount in excess of that permitted to be charged by Applicable Law then in effect, then all sums determined to constitute interest in excess of such legal limit shall, without penalty, be promptly applied to reduce the then outstanding principal of the related Credit Obligations or, at such Lender’s or holder’s option, promptly returned to the Borrower or the other payor thereof upon such determination. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific circumstance, exceeds the maximum amount permitted under Applicable Law, the Agent, the Lenders and the Facility Parties (and any other payors thereof) shall to the greatest extent permitted under Applicable Law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the instruments evidencing the Credit Obligations in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time to time thereunder and the maximum legal rate of interest from time to time in effect under Applicable Law in order to lawfully charge the maximum amount of interest permitted under Applicable Law.
SECTION 11.10
Counterparts TC . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.
SECTION 11.11
Integration TC . THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
SECTION 11.12
Survival of Representations and Warranties TC . All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof and any subsequent making or deemed making thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the

| 112 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
SECTION 11.13
Severability TC . Any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which any Facility Party is a party that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 11.14
Headings TC . The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.
SECTION 11.15
Marshalling; Payments Set Aside TC . None of the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Borrower make a payment or payments to the Agent or the Collateral Agent (or to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders or the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Protected Parties), or the Agent or the Collateral Agent enforces any security interests or exercises its rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.
SECTION 11.16
Performance by the Agent TC . If any Facility Party fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Management Document in a timely fashion, the Agent shall be entitled, but not obliged, to perform such obligation at the expense of the Borrower and without waiving any rights that it may have with respect to such breach.
SECTION 11.17
Third Party Beneficiaries TC . Each Protected Party, including without limitation each Support Party, is an express third party beneficiary hereof.
SECTION 11.18
No Proceedings TC . (a) Each party hereto hereby agrees that it will not institute against any Conduit Lender, or join any other Person in instituting against any Conduit Lender, any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, liquidation or similar proceeding from the Closing Date until one year plus one day following the last day on which all commercial paper notes and other publicly or privately placed indebtedness for borrowed money of such Conduit Lender together with all related derivative or other hedging obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full.

| 113 |

[Warehouse Loan Agreement]

(b)
No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of Conduit Lender as contained in any Loan Document shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer, employee or director of the Conduit Lender, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the agreements of each Conduit Lender contained in any Loan Document are solely corporate obligations of such Conduit Lender and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to or be incurred by the incorporators, stockholders, affiliates, officers, employees or directors of such Conduit Lender, under or by reason of any of the respective obligations, covenants or agreements of such Conduit Lender contained in any Loan Document, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability of every such incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer, employee or director of such Conduit Lender for breaches by such Conduit Lender of any such obligation, covenant or agreement, which liability may arise either at common law or in equity, by statute or constitution, or otherwise, is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement.
(c)
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Lender shall have any obligation to pay any amount required to be paid by it hereunder or thereunder to any party hereto, in excess of any amount available to such Conduit Lender after paying or making provision for the payment of its commercial paper notes. All payment obligations of each Conduit Lender hereunder are contingent upon the availability of funds in excess of the amounts necessary to pay commercial paper notes; and each of the parties hereto agree that they shall not have a claim under Section 101(5) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar law in any other jurisdiction if and to the extent that any such payment obligation exceeds the amount available to such Conduit Lender to pay such amounts after paying or making provision for the payment of its commercial paper notes and its other publicly or privately placed indebtedness and all related derivative or other hedging obligations to or on which such Conduit Lender is an express party.
(d)
The provisions of this Section 11.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 11.19
Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction TC . (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Derivative Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
(a)
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b)
As used in this Section 11.24, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

(i)
a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

INSURANCE

The Borrower will at all times after delivery and acceptance of each Portfolio Railcar, at its own expense, keep such Portfolio Railcar insured with insurers of recognized responsibility with a rating of at least A- by A.M. Best Company (or a comparable rating by a nationally or internationally recognized rating group of comparable stature) or by other insurers approved in writing by the Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, in amounts and against risks and with deductibles and terms and conditions not less than the insurance, if any, maintained by the Manager with respect to similar equipment which it owns or leases, but in no event shall such coverage be for amounts or against risks less than the prudent industry standard for companies engaged in leasing of railcars. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower will in any event:

(a) keep each Railcar insured against physical damage (which may be accomplished pursuant to a contingent physical damage policy) in an amount not less than the replacement cost of such Portfolio Railcar, subject to an aggregate limit of not less than $2,500,000 per occurrence; provided that such coverage may provide for deductible amounts of not more than $50,000 per occurrence (or $100,000, in the event that (i) coverage providing for a $50,000 deductible amount is not then available on commercially reasonable terms or (ii) a deductible amount of $100,000 is then customary in the railcar leasing industry with respect to such coverage); and

(b) maintain public liability insurance or commercial general liability insurance naming the Collateral Agent, the Agent, the Lenders, and each other Protected Party as additional insureds (but only with respect to the Borrower’s liability arising out of or related to the Transaction Documents, the Leases and the Railcars) against bodily injury, death or property damage arising out of the use or operation of the Railcars with general and excess liability limits of not less than $100,000,000 per occurrence or in the aggregate, provided that such coverage may provide for deductible or self-insured retention amounts not exceeding the lesser of (x) $10,000,000 or (y) the level of the then current deductible or self-insured retention maintained by the Manager for the Manager’s Railcar fleet.
