No amount borrowed and consequently repaid or prepaid hereunder can be re-borrowed. The commitment of each Class A-1L-A Lender to make the applicable Class A-1L-A Loans under this Section 2.1(a) is herein referred to as its “Commitment.”

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4.01 herein, each Class A-1L-A Lender shall fund its Class A-1L-A Loans by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the Closing Date or applicable Additional Incurrence Date, to an account set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto, as directed by the Loan Agent.

3

Section 2.02. Confirmation of Registration.(a)

(a) Upon the funding of the Class A-1L-A Loans, the Loan Agent shall deliver to each Lender a Confirmation of Registration in the form of Exhibit B hereto. No Class A-1L-A will be represented by a promissory note or other instrument.

Section 2.03. Principal; Interest Rate.

(a) Principal of the Class A-1L-A Loans, including mandatory and optional principal prepayments, shall be paid by the Borrower in part or in whole at the times and in the manner set forth in the Indenture, including (x) in connection with the Borrower’ repayment of such Debt pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture, (y) in connection with a repayment or Refinancing of the Class A-1L-A Loans pursuant to Article IX of the Indenture, or (z) otherwise, in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Unless earlier repaid, the Class A-1L-A Loans shall mature, and the remaining principal amount thereof shall be due and payable in full, on the Payment Date in April 2037.

(b) Interest shall accrue on each Class A-1L-A Loan or portion thereof which remains unpaid at a rate of the Benchmark, as calculated under the Indenture, plus 1.49% and shall be due and payable at the times and in the manner set forth in the Indenture.

Section 2.04. Establishment of Class A-1L-A Loan Account; Distributions.

(a) The Loan Agent shall, prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Custodian a single, segregated non-interest bearing account in the name of the Borrower subject to the lien of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated as the “Class A-1L-A Loan Account” and which shall be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement and the Securities Account Control Agreement. Such account shall be held in the name of the Borrower subject to the lien of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Collateral Trustee shall have exclusive control over such account, subject to the Loan Agent’s right to give instructions specified herein. Any and all funds at any time on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Class A-1L-A Loan Account shall be held in trust by the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Class A-1L-A Loan Account shall be to pay the interest on and the principal of the Class A-1L-A Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture. The Loan Agent agrees to give the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee and the Class A-1L-A Lenders prompt notice if a Trust Officer of it receives notice that the Class A-1L-A Loan Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Class A-1L-A Loan Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process.

(b) The Class A-1L-A Loan Account shall remain at all times with a financial institution having a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$200,000,000 and (a) with a federal or state‑chartered depository institution with a long-term issuer credit rating of at least "A-" and a short-term issuer credit rating of at least "A‑2" by S&P (or at least "A+" by S&P if such institution has no short‑term rating) or (b) in segregated trust accounts with the corporate trust department of a federal or state‑chartered deposit institution rated at least "BBB-" by S&P;

4

provided that if such institution’s rating falls below the ratings set forth above, the assets held in such Account shall be moved within 30 calendar days to another institution that has such ratings; provided, further, that such institution shall not be required to satisfy such rating requirements so long as any amounts credited in the accounts by 3:00 pm (New York time) are invested in a Deposit Placement Program. If the Loan Agent’s or such institution’s rating fall below the ratings set forth in this Section 2.04(b), the Borrower shall take commercially reasonable efforts to move the assets held in such account to another institution that satisfies such ratings within 30 calendar days of notice or knowledge thereof.

(c) On each Payment Date on which amounts are deposited into the Class A-1L-A Loan Account for distribution to the Class A-1L-A Lenders pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Indenture, the Loan Agent shall distribute such amounts to the Class A-1L-A Lenders, pro rata, allocated based on amounts due thereto.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent are the same Person, payments to be made to the Class A-1L-A Lenders hereunder may be made directly from the Collateral Trustee to the Class A-1L-A Lenders and in such case (i) no Class A-1L-A Loan Account shall be required to be established and (ii) any such payments by the Collateral Trustee to the Class A-1L-A Lenders shall be deemed to have been made by the Loan Agent for disbursement to the Class A-1L-A Lenders for all purposes hereunder.

Section 2.05. Loan Register.

(a) The Borrower shall cause to be kept a register (the “Loan Register”) at the corporate trust office of the Loan Agent in which, subject to such reasonable procedures as it may prescribe, the Borrower shall provide for the recording and registering of the following information with respect to each Class A-1L-A Lender:

(i) the name, notice details, wiring instructions and taxpayer identification number of such Class A-1L-A Lender, together with the names of the authorized representatives of such Class A-1L-A Lender and their mailing address, electronic mail address, telephone and facsimile numbers;

(ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of Class A-1L-A Loans (and stated interest thereon) funded by such Class A-1L-A Lender; and

(iii) the Closing Date or applicable Additional Incurrence Date with respect to the Class A-1L-A Loans of such Class A-1L-A Lender.

The Loan Agent is hereby appointed “Loan Registrar” for the purpose of registering and recording the information described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above.

The Loan Agent shall update the information contained in the Loan Register upon (i) the transfer of any Class A-1L-A Loan, (ii) the funding of any Additional Class A-1L-A Loan and (iii) the receipt of written notice from the Borrower or the applicable Class A-1L-A Lender confirming a change in the notice details or the authorized representatives of any Class A-1L-A Lender.

5

Absent manifest error, the information contained in the Loan Register will be conclusive evidence of the rights and obligations of each Class A-1L-A Lender with respect to the Class A-1L-A Loans held by such Class A-1L-A Lender, and each party hereto shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Loan Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Class A-1L-A Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.

On the Closing Date, on the date of each amendment thereto and from time to time upon request from the Registrar under the Indenture, the Loan Registrar shall provide to the Collateral Trustee, the Registrar, the Borrower or the Collateral Manager a copy of the information contained in the Loan Register and, upon request at any time by a Class A-1L-A Lender, the Loan Registrar shall provide such Class A-1L-A Lender a copy of the information contained in the Loan Register relating to the Class A-1L-A Loans held by such Class A-1L-A Lender.

Section 2.06. Additional Class A-1L-A Loans.

(a) At any time during the Reinvestment Period and upon satisfaction of the conditions to such incurrence set forth in Section 2.13 of the Indenture, the Borrower may incur additional Class A-1L-A Loans hereunder (each an “Additional Class A-1L-A Loan”). The existing Class A-1L-A Lenders shall have the first opportunity to make each Additional Class A-1L-A Loan in such amounts as are necessary to preserve (as closely as reasonably practicable taking into consideration Minimum Denomination requirements) their pro rata holdings of Class A-1L-A Loans or, if they decline, additional Persons (each an “Additional Class A-1L-A Lender”) may deliver a signature page and become Class A-1L-A Lenders for all purposes hereunder.

(b) Any Additional Class A-1L-A Loans issued pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall constitute Class A-1L-A Loans for all purposes hereunder and under the Indenture and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture as if such Additional Class A-1L-A Loans had been incurred on the Closing Date, except that (for the avoidance of doubt) interest shall accrue with respect to any Additional Class A-1L-A Loans from the applicable Additional Incurrence Date and the spread over the Benchmark and the price of such Additional Class A-1L-A Loans do not have to be identical to those of the initial Class A-1L-A Loans; provided that the Interest Rate on such Additional Class A-1L-A Loans must not exceed the Interest Rate applicable to the initial Class A-1L-A Loans.

Section 2.07. Conversion to Class A-1 Notes.

(a) Upon written notice from a Class A-1L-A Lender to the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee and the Borrower, a Class A-1L-A Lender may elect a Business Day (such Business Day, the “Conversion Date”) upon which all or a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A-1L-A Loans held by such Class A-1L-A Lender shall be converted into Class A-1 Notes subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5(o) of the Indenture and this Agreement; provided that (x) the Conversion Date shall be no earlier than the fifth Business Day following the date such notice is delivered (or such earlier date as may be reasonably agreed to by such Class A-1L-A Lender, the Loan Agent and the Collateral Trustee) and may not be between a Record Date or a Determination Date (whichever is earlier) and a Payment Date and (y) such conversion shall be in a Minimum Denomination.

6

(b) Upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 2.5(o) of the Indenture and this Agreement, the Loan Agent shall cause all or such portion of the Class A-1L-A Loans to be cancelled, record the conversion in the Loan Register and shall notify the Collateral Trustee, who shall approve the instructions at DTC, concurrently with such cancellation, to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account of each applicable Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the applicable Class A-1 Note equal to the principal amount of the Class A-1L-A Loans converted.

(c) Interest accrued on the portion of the Class A-1L-A Loans so converted since the prior Payment Date (or the Closing Date, if no Payment Date has occurred) shall, as of the Conversion Date, be deemed to have been accrued and unpaid on the Class A-1 Notes since such prior Payment Date (or the Closing Date, if no Payment Date has occurred) and interest on the converted Class A-1L-A Loans shall thereafter accrue at the Interest Rate applicable to the Class A-1 Notes. If the Conversion Option is exercised during an Interest Accrual Period during which the applicable portion of the Class A-1L-A Loans has been assigned, the Record Date for the related Payment Date shall determine which Holder or Holders receive any payment made on the Class A-1 Notes on such Payment Date (regardless of whether the Record Date occurred prior to or after the effectiveness of the conversion).

(d) No Class A-1 Notes may be converted into Class A-1L-A Loans. The Issuer will notify the Rating Agency promptly after the occurrence of the conversion of any Class A-1L-A Loans into Class A-1 Notes.

Section 2.08. Withholding Tax. If any withholding tax is imposed on the Borrower’ payments (or allocations of income) under the Class A-1L-A Loans to any Class A-1L-A Lender, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Class A-1L-A Lender. The Loan Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to any Class A-1L-A Lender sufficient funds for the payment of any tax (but such authorization shall not prevent the Loan Agent from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Borrower shall, upon the Loan Agent’s request, provide information necessary to determine the nature of any income received and whether any tax or withholding obligations apply. The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to any Class A-1L-A Lender shall be treated as cash distributed to such Class A-1L-A Lender at the time it is withheld by the Loan Agent and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution and the Loan Agent has not received documentation from such Class A-1L-A Lender showing an exemption from withholding, the Loan Agent shall withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 2.08. If any Class A-1L-A Lender wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Loan Agent shall reasonably cooperate with such Class A-1L-A Lender in making such claim so long as such Class A-1L-A Lender agrees to reimburse the Loan Agent for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred. Nothing herein shall impose an obligation on the part of the Loan Agent to determine the amount of any tax or withholding obligation on the part of the Borrower or in respect of the Class A-1L-A Loans.

(e) Each Class A-1L-A Lender may at any time grant participations in any of its rights hereunder to one or more commercial banks, insurance companies, funds or other financial institutions; provided that in the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents (the participant’s rights against such Class A-1L-A Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Class A-1L-A Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Class A-1L-A Lender had not sold such participation; and provided, further, that, no Class A-1L-A Lender shall transfer, grant or assign any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (x) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Class A-1L-A Loan in which such participant is participating or waive any Mandatory Prepayment thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase such participant’s participating interest in any Class A-1L-A Loan over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or a Mandatory Prepayment, shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Class A-1L-A Loan), (y) release all or substantially all of the Assets (in each case, except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents), or (z) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (except as provided in Section 5.10 of this Agreement); and provided, further, that, each participation shall be subject to the related participant providing a representation and warranty to the Class A-1L-A Lender from which it is acquiring its participation that it is a Qualified Purchaser and a Qualified Institutional Buyer and making representations substantially in the form set forth under Section 3.02(d) through (v).

(f) Each Class A-1L-A Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each participant’s interest in the Class A-1L-A Loans or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Class A-1L-A Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Class A-1L-A Loans, or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Class A-1L-A Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations and proposed Section 1.163-5 of the Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Class A-1L-A 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, no Loan Agent (in its capacity as Loan Agent) shall have responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Section 7.10. Recourse against Certain Parties. No recourse under or with respect to any obligation, covenant or agreement of any Class A-1L-A Lender or any other agreement, instrument or document entered into by it pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer, member, manager, partner, employee or director of such Class A-1L-A Lender, as such, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the agreements of such Class A-1L-A Lender contained in this Agreement and all of the other agreements, instruments and documents entered into by it pursuant hereto or in connection herewith are, in each case, solely the corporate obligations of such Class A-1L-A Lender, and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to or be incurred by the any incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer, member, manager, partner, employee or director of such Class A-1L-A Lender, as such, or any of them, under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of such Class A-1L-A Lender contained in this Agreement or in any other such instrument, document or agreement, or which are implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability of every such incorporator, stockholder, Affiliate, officer, employee, member, manager, partner or director of such Class A-1L-A Lender for breaches by such Class A-1L-A Lender of any such obligations, covenants or agreements, which liability may arise either at common law or at equity, by statute or constitution, or otherwise, is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 7.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.11. Limited-Recourse Obligations. The Class A-1L-A Loans and all obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement are at all times limited-recourse obligations of the Borrower. The Class A-1L-A Loans are payable solely from the Assets and other assets pledged by the Borrower to secure the Debt. Upon realization of the Assets and such other assets and the application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the Indenture, any outstanding obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. None of the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, any of their respective affiliates, security holders (including shareholders), members, partners, officers, directors or employees, or the security holders (including shareholders), members, managers, partners, officers, directors, employees, authorized persons or incorporators of the Borrower, or any other person or entity will be obligated to make payments on the Class A-1L-A Loans.

This Section 7.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.12. Non-Petition. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Loan Agent, in its own capacity, nor any Class A-1L-A Lender may, prior to the date which is one year and one day (or, if longer, the applicable preference period and one day) after the payment in full of all Class A-1L-A Loans and the Debt, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Borrower any involuntary bankruptcy, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under federal or state bankruptcy or similar laws. Nothing in this Section 7.12 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Loan Agent or any Class A-1L-A Lender (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year and one day (or longer) period in (A) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Borrower or (B) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Loan Agent or a Class

24

A-1L-A Lender or any Affiliate of either, or (ii) from commencing against the Borrower or any of their properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceeding, subject to Section 7.11. This Section 7.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.13. Appointment of Collateral Trustee. The Class A-1L-A Lenders hereby appoint the Collateral Trustee to act exclusively as the agent for purposes of perfection of a security interest in the Assets to act as specified in the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which the Collateral Trustee is a party. The duties and obligations of the Collateral Trustee under this Section 7.13 shall be as set forth in the Indenture.

Section 7.14. [Reserved].

Section 7.15. Acknowledgment of Indenture Provisions. The Class A-1L-A Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree to the provisions of the Indenture expressly applicable to the Class A-1L-A Lenders.

Section 7.16. USA Patriot Act Notice. The Class A-1L-A Lenders hereby notify the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow the Class A-1L-A Lenders to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

Section 7.17. Termination. This Agreement will automatically terminate upon the conversion of the entire Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A-1L-A Loans into Class A-1 Notes in accordance with Section 2.07.
