SECTION 2.02 Advances. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Indenture, with respect to any Investor Group that (i) does not have a Conduit Investor or (ii) has a Conduit Investor but such Conduit Investor determines that it will not make (or it does not in fact make) an Advance or any portion of an Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), the Committed Note Purchasers with respect to such Investor Group shall, upon the Co-Issuers’ request delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.03 and the satisfaction of all of the conditions precedent thereto (or under the circumstances and in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.05, 2.06 or 2.08), make Advances from time to time during the Commitment Term in the amounts determined pursuant to Section 2.02(c).

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Indenture, with respect to any Investor Group that has a Conduit Investor, such Conduit Investor may, upon the Co-Issuers’ request delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.03 and the satisfaction of all of the conditions precedent thereto (or under the circumstances and in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.05, 2.06 or 2.08), make Advances from time to time during the Commitment Term in the amounts determined pursuant to Section 2.02(c). Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary, at no time will a Conduit Investor be obligated to make Advances hereunder.

(c) Any Advances made pursuant to Section 2.02(a) or Section 2.02(b) shall be made ratably by each Investor Group based on their respective Commitment Percentages and the portion of any such Advance made by any Committed Note Purchaser in such Investor Group shall be its Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the Advances to be made by such Investor Group (or the portion thereof not being made by any Conduit Investor in such Investor Group); provided that no Advance shall be required or permitted to be made by any Investor on any date if, after giving effect to such Advance, (i) the related Investor Group Principal Amount would exceed the related Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount, (ii) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount, (iii) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-A Outstanding Principal Amount

The Advances made by each Investor Group as part of the initial Borrowing on the Series 2007-1 Closing Date will be evidenced by the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes of the applicable Advance Sub-Class issued to such Investor Group in connection herewith and will constitute purchases of Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Initial Advance Principal Amounts corresponding to the amount of such Advances and allocated to the applicable Advance Sub-Class. Each other Borrowing will constitute an Increase, with the Advances made by each Investor Group as part of such Borrowing being evidenced by the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes of the applicable Advance Sub-Class issued to such Investor Group in connection herewith and constituting purchases of Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amounts corresponding to the amount of such Advances and allocated to the applicable Advance Sub-Class.

(f) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Series 2007-1 Supplement, the aggregate principal amount of the Advances evidenced by the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes may be increased by Borrowings or decreased by Voluntary Decreases from time to time.

SECTION 2.03 Borrowing Procedures.

(a) Whenever the Co-Issuers wish a Borrowing to be made, the Co-Issuers shall (or shall cause the Servicer to) notify the Class A-1 Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify each Funding Agent (and each Committed Note Purchaser) of its pro rata share thereof and notify the Indenture Trustee, the Series 2007-1 Class A Insurer, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider in writing of such Borrowing) upon irrevocable written notice in the form of an Advance Request delivered to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day (or, in the case of any Eurodollar Advances for purposes of Section 3.01(b), on the third Business Day) prior to the date of Borrowing, which date of Borrowing shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Term. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each case refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the Borrowing date, (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing to be made on the Borrowing date, (iii) the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans and Unreimbursed L/C

Drawings to be repaid with the proceeds of such Borrowing on the Borrowing date, which amount shall constitute all outstanding Swingline Loans and Unreimbursed L/C Drawings outstanding on the date of such notice, and (iv) sufficient instructions for application of the balance, if any, of the proceeds of such Borrowing on the Borrowing date. Requests for any Borrowing may not be made in an aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000 or in an aggregate principal amount which is not an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Borrowings for the purpose of repaying then outstanding Swingline Loans or Unreimbursed L/C Drawings or if such amount would exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount). The Co-Issuers agree to cause requests for Borrowings to be made upon notice of any drawing under a Letter of Credit, and in any event at least one time every three (3) Business Days if any Swingline Loans or Unreimbursed L/C Drawings are outstanding, in amounts at least sufficient to repay in full all Swingline Loans and Unreimbursed L/C Drawings outstanding on the date of the applicable request. Each Borrowing shall be ratably allocated among the Investor Groups (and their respective Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes) based on their respective Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts. With respect to each Investor Group, if any, that includes a Conduit Investor, each Funding Agent shall promptly advise its related Conduit Investor, if any, of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) and shall promptly thereafter (but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of Borrowing) notify the Class A-1 Administrative Agent, the Co-Issuers and the related Committed Note Purchaser(s) whether such Conduit Investor has determined to make all or any portion of the Advances in such Borrowing that are to be made by its Investor Group. On the date of each Borrowing and subject to the other conditions set forth herein and in the Series 2007-1 Supplement (and, if requested by the Class A-1 Administrative Agent, confirmation from the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider, as applicable, as to (x) the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans and Unreimbursed L/C Drawings to be repaid with the proceeds of such Borrowing on the Borrowing date, (y) the Undrawn L/C Face Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding and (z) the principal amount of any other Swingline Loans or Unreimbursed L/C Drawings then outstanding), the applicable Investors in each Investor Group shall make available to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent the amount of the Advances in such Borrowing that are to be made by such Investor Group by wire transfer in U.S. Dollars of such amount in same day funds no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of such Borrowing, and upon receipt thereof the Class A-1 Administrative Agent shall immediately make such proceeds available, first, to the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider for application to repayment of the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans and Unreimbursed L/C Drawings as set forth in the applicable Advance Request, ratably in proportion to such respective amounts, and, second, to the Co-Issuers as instructed in the applicable Advance Request.

(b) The failure of any Committed Note Purchaser to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Committed Note Purchaser (whether or not in the same Investor Group) of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Committed Note Purchaser shall be responsible for the failure of any other Committed Note Purchaser to

make the Advance to be made by such other Committed Note Purchaser on the date of any Borrowing.

(c) Unless the Class A-1 Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Funding Agent prior to the date of any Borrowing that an applicable Investor in the related Investor Group will not make available to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent such Investor’s share of the Advances to be made by such Investor Group as part of such Borrowing, the Class A-1 Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Investor has made such share available to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(c) and the Class A-1 Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Swingline Lender, the L/C Provider and/or the Co-Issuers, as applicable, on such date a corresponding amount, and shall, if such corresponding amount has not been made available by the Class A-1 Administrative Agent, make available to the Swingline Lender, the L/C Provider and/or the Co-Issuers, as applicable, on such date a corresponding amount once such Investor has made such portion available to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent. If and to the extent that any Investor shall not have made such amount available to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent, such Investor and the Co-Issuers jointly and severally agree to repay (without duplication) to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Swingline Lender, the L/C Provider and/or the Co-Issuers, as applicable, until the date such amount is repaid to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Co-Issuers, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Investor, the Federal Funds Rate and without deduction by such Investor for any withholding taxes. If such Investor shall repay to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Investor’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.04 The Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Notes. On each date an Advance or Swingline Loan is funded or a Letter of Credit is issued hereunder, and on each date the outstanding amount thereof is reduced, a duly authorized officer, employee or agent of the related Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Noteholder shall make appropriate notations in its books and records of the amount, evidenced by the related Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Note, of such Advance, Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit and the amount of such reduction, as applicable. The Co-Issuers hereby authorize each duly authorized officer, employee and agent of such Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Noteholder to make such notations on the books and records as aforesaid and every such notation made in accordance with the foregoing authority shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded; provided, however, that in the event of a discrepancy between the books and records of such Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Noteholder and the records maintained by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, such discrepancy shall be resolved by such Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Noteholder, the Series 2007-1 Class A Insurer and the Indenture Trustee, and such resolution shall control in the absence of manifest error; provided further that the failure of any such notation to be made, or any

finding that a notation is incorrect, in any such records shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Co-Issuers under this Agreement or the Indenture.

SECTION 2.05 Reduction in Commitments.

(a) The Co-Issuers may, with the prior written consent of the Series 2007-1 Controlling Party, and upon three Business Days’ notice to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee, each Funding Agent and each Investor), effect a permanent reduction in the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount and a corresponding reduction, on a pro rata basis, in each of: (i) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-A Maximum Principal Amount and the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-X Maximum Principal Amount and (ii) in each Commitment Amount and Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount; provided that (i) any such reduction will be limited to the undrawn portion of the Commitments, although any such reduction may be combined with a Voluntary Decrease effected pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3.2(b) of the Series 2007-1 Supplement, (ii) any such reduction must be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, (iii) after giving effect to such reduction, the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount equals or exceeds $50,000,000, unless reduced to zero, and (iv) no such reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, (x) the aggregate Commitment Amounts would be less than the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount (excluding any Undrawn L/C Face Amounts with respect to which cash collateral is held by the L/C Provider pursuant to Section 4.03) or (y) the aggregate Commitment Amounts would be less than the sum of the Swingline Commitment and the L/C Commitment.

SECTION 2.06 Swingline Commitment.

(a) On the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture and this Agreement, and in reliance on the covenants, representations and agreements set forth herein and therein, the Co-Issuers shall issue and shall cause the Indenture Trustee to authenticate the initial Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Swingline Notes for each Swingline Sub-Class which the Co-Issuers shall deliver to the Swingline Lender on the Series 2007-1 Closing Date. Such initial Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Swingline Notes for each Swingline Sub-Class shall be dated the Series 2007-1 Closing Date, shall be registered in the name of the Swingline Lender or its nominee, or in such other name as the Swingline Lender may request, shall have a maximum principal amount equal to the Applicable Sub-Class Percentage for such Swingline Sub-Class of the Swingline Commitment, shall have an initial outstanding principal amount equal to the Applicable Sub-Class Percentage for such Swingline Sub-Class of the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Initial Swingline Principal Amount, and shall be duly authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Base Indenture. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the Committed Note Purchasers set forth in this Section 2.06, agrees to make swingline loans (each, a “Swingline Loan” or a “Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans” or the “Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Swingline Loans”) to the Co-Issuers from time to time during the period commencing on the Series 2007-1 Closing Date and ending on the date that is two Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date; provided that the Swingline Lender shall have no obligation or right to make any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding would exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s other outstanding Advances hereunder, may exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect), (ii) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the

Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount, (iii) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-A Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-A Maximum Principal Amount or (iv) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-X Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-X Maximum Principal Amount. Each such borrowing of a Swingline Loan will constitute a corresponding Subfacility Increase, on a pro rata basis, in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Swingline Notes based on their respective Applicable Sub-Class Percentages in an aggregate amount corresponding to such borrowing. Any such Subfacility Increase caused by a borrowing of a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) shall be allocated ratably among the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Swingline Notes of each Swingline Sub-Class based on their respective Applicable Sub-Class Percentages. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Series 2007-1 Supplement, the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Swingline Notes may be increased by borrowings of Swingline Loans or decreased by payments of principal thereon from time to time.

(b) Whenever the Co-Issuers desire that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans they shall (or shall cause the Servicer to) give the Swingline Lender and the Class A-1 Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in writing not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the proposed borrowing date, specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested borrowing date (which shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Term not later than the date that is two Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date) and (iii) the payment instructions for the proceeds of such borrowing (which shall be consistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture). Such notice shall be in the form of a Swingline Loan request in the form attached as Exhibit A-1 hereto (a “Swingline Loan Request”). Promptly upon receipt of any Swingline Loan Request (but in no event later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of such receipt), the Swingline Lender shall promptly notify the Class A-1 Administrative Agent, the Indenture Trustee and the Series 2007-1 Class A Insurer thereof in writing. Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in a minimum amount equal to $100,000. Promptly upon receipt of any Swingline Loan Request (but in no event later than 2:30 p.m. on the date of such receipt), the Class A-1 Administrative Agent (based, with respect to any portion of the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Subfacility Amount held by any Person other than the Class A-1 Administrative Agent, solely on written notices received by the Class A-1 Administrative Agent under this Agreement) will inform the Swingline Lender whether or not, after giving effect to the requested Swingline Loan, (i) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount, (ii) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-A Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-A Maximum Principal Amount or (iii) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-X Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-X Maximum Principal Amount. If the Class A-1 Administrative Agent confirms (i) that the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount, (ii) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-A Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-A Maximum Principal Amount and (iii) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-X Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-X Maximum Principal

Amount after giving effect to the requested Swingline Loan, then not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the borrowing date specified in the Swingline Loan Request, subject to the other conditions set forth herein and in the Series 2007-1 Supplement, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Co-Issuers in accordance with the payment instructions set forth in such notice an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the requested Swingline Loan.

(c) The Co-Issuers hereby agree that each Swingline Loan made by the Swingline Lender to the Co-Issuers pursuant to Section 2.06(a) shall constitute the promise and obligation of the Co-Issuers jointly and severally to pay to the Swingline Lender the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.06(a), which amounts shall be due and payable (whether at maturity or by acceleration) as set forth in the Indenture for Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount.

(d) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion, may, on behalf of the Co-Issuers (which hereby irrevocably direct the Swingline Lender to act on their behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by the Swingline Lender to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify each Funding Agent of its pro rata share thereof and shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the Series 2007-1 Class A Insurer of such borrowing in writing) no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time), request each Investor Group to make, and the applicable Investors in each Investor Group hereby agree to make, Advances in an aggregate amount for each Investor Group equal to such Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Such Investors shall make the amount of such Advances available to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent in immediately available funds not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) one Business Day after the date of such notice and the proceeds of such Advances shall be immediately made available by the Class A-1 Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans; provided that after giving effect thereto, (i) the related Investor Group Principal Amount would not exceed the related Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount, (ii) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount, (iii) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-A Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-A Maximum Principal Amount and (iv) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-X Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-X Maximum Principal Amount.

(e) If prior to the time Advances would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.06(d), an Event of Bankruptcy shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Co-Issuer or Guarantor or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, Advances may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.06(d), each Committed Note Purchaser with respect to each Advance Sub-Class shall, on the date such Advances were to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.06(d) (the “Refunding Date”),

purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans evidenced by the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note having the same alphanumeric label as such Advance Sub-Class (the “Applicable Swingline Loans”) by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) its Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Advances.

(f) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Investor such Investor’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Applicable Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Investor its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Investor’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Investor’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Investor will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.

(g) Each applicable Investor’s obligation to make the Advances referred to in Section 2.06(d) and each Committed Note Purchaser’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.06(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Investor, Committed Note Purchaser or the Co-Issuers may have against the Swingline Lender, the Co-Issuers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article VII other than at the time the related Swingline Loan was made; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Co-Issuers; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Indenture Document by any Co-Issuer or any other Person; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(h) The Co-Issuers may, upon three Business Days’ notice to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, effect a permanent reduction in the Swingline Commitment; provided that any such reduction will be limited to the undrawn portion of the Swingline Commitment. If requested by the Co-Issuers in writing and with the prior written consent of the Class A-1 Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) increase the amount of the Swingline Commitment; provided that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Swingline Commitment and the L/C Commitment does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments. Any reduction or increase made pursuant to this Section 2.06(h) shall be made ratably among the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Swingline Notes of each Swingline Sub-Class based on their respective Applicable Sub-Class Percentages.

(i) The Co-Issuers may, upon notice to the Swingline Lender (who shall promptly notify the Class A-1 Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee thereof in writing), at any time and from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swingline Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (x) such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of the prepayment, and (y) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given, the Co-Issuers shall make such prepayment directly to the Swingline Lender and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.06(i) shall be made ratably among the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Swingline Notes of each Swingline Sub-Class based on their respective Applicable Sub-Class Percentages.

The L/C Provider shall not at any time be obligated to (I) provide any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause any L/C Issuing Bank to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law or (II) amend any Letter of Credit hereunder if (1) the L/C Provider would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (2) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(b) On the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture and this Agreement, and in reliance on the covenants, representations and agreements set forth

All L/C Obligations (whether in respect of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts or Unreimbursed L/C Drawings) shall be deemed to be principal outstanding under the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 L/C Notes based on their respective Applicable Sub-Class Percentages for all purposes of this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents other than, in the case of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts, for purposes of accrual of interest. Any payment of such principal in respect of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts shall be deposited into a cash collateral account as provided in Sections 4.02 and 4.03. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Series 2007-1 Supplement, the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 L/C Notes may be increased by issuances of Letters of Credit or decreased by expirations thereof or payments of drawings thereunder or other circumstances resulting in the permanent reduction in any Undrawn L/C Face Amounts from time to time. The L/C Provider and the Co-Issuers agree to promptly notify the Class A-1 Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee of any such decreases for which notice to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent is not otherwise provided hereunder.

The L/C Provider shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Servicer (with a copy to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent) promptly following the issuance thereof. The L/C Provider shall promptly furnish to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Funding Agents, the Investors, the Indenture Trustee and the Series 2007-1 Class A Insurer, written notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

(d) The Co-Issuers shall jointly and severally pay fees (the “L/C Monthly Fees”) with respect to each Letter of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the L/C Monthly Fees Rate calculated on the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit) during the applicable Interest Period, shared ratably among the Committed Note Purchasers and payable in arrears on each Payment Date in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture. In addition, under the circumstances set forth in Section 4.4 of the Series 2007-1 Supplement, the Co-Issuers shall jointly and severally pay contingent additional fees in respect of the outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Contingent Additional L/C Fees payable pursuant to such Section 4.4 and shared ratably among the Committed Note Purchasers.

Subject to the Priority of Payments, the L/C Additional Charges are due and payable within ten (10) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable.

(f) To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article II, the provisions of this Article II shall apply.

(g) The Co-Issuers may, upon three Business Days’ notice to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent and the L/C Provider, effect a permanent reduction in the L/C Commitment; provided that any such reduction will be limited to the unused portion of the L/C Commitment. If requested by the Co-Issuers in writing and with the prior written consent of the Class A-1 Administrative Agent, the L/C Provider may (but shall not be obligated to) increase the amount of the L/C Commitment; provided further that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Swingline Commitment and the L/C Commitment does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments. Any reduction or increase made pursuant to this Section 2.07(g) shall be made ratably among the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 L/C Notes of each L/C Sub-Class based on their respective Applicable Sub-Class Percentages.

(h) The L/C Provider shall have the right to satisfy its obligations under this Section 2.07 with respect to providing any Letter of Credit hereunder either by issuing such Letter of Credit itself or by causing another Person selected by the L/C Provider to issue such Letter of Credit (the L/C Provider in its capacity as the issuer of such Letter of Credit or such other Person selected by the L/C Provider being referred to as the “L/C Issuing Bank”); provided that the L/C Issuing Bank is a U.S. commercial bank that has, at the time of such issuance, (i) a short-term certificate of deposit rating of not less than “P-1” from Moody’s and “A-1” from S&P and (ii) a long-term unsecured debt rating of not less than “Aa1” from Moody’s and “A+” from S&P.

(a) For the purpose of reimbursing the payment of any draft presented under any Letter of Credit, the Co-Issuers jointly and severally agree to pay the L/C Provider for its own account (if it has already reimbursed the applicable L/C Issuing Bank for the payment of such draft) or for the account of the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, on the Business Day after the Business Day on which the L/C Provider notifies the Co-Issuers and the Class A-1 Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) (or, on the second Business Day after the Business Day on which the L/C Provider notifies the Co-Issuers and the Class A-1 Administrative Agent after 10:00 a.m. (New York time)) (and in each case the Class A-1 Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Funding Agents) of the date and amount of such draft an amount in Dollars equal to the sum of (i) the amount of such draft so paid (the “L/C Reimbursement Amount” and (ii) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses (collectively, the “L/C Other Reimbursement Costs”) incurred by the L/C Issuing Bank in connection with such payment. Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an Event of Bankruptcy shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Co-Issuer or Guarantor, in which cases the procedures specified in Section 2.09 for funding by Committed Note Purchasers shall apply) constitute a request by the Co-Issuers to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02 in the amount of the applicable L/C Reimbursement Amount, and the

Co-Issuers agree to make such request pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.03. The applicable Investors in each Investor Group hereby agree to make Advances in an aggregate amount for each Investor Group equal to such Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of the L/C Reimbursement Amount to pay the L/C Provider. Each such Advance made pursuant to this Section 2.08(a) shall be made ratably among the Investor Groups and their respective Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes. The Borrowing date with respect to such Borrowing shall be the first date on which a Borrowing could be made pursuant to Section 2.02 if the Class A-1 Administrative Agent had received a notice of such Borrowing at the time the Class A-1 Administrative Agent receives notice from the L/C Provider of such drawing under such Letter of Credit. Such Investors shall make the amount of such Advances available to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on such Borrowing date and the proceeds of such Advances shall be immediately made available by the Class A-1 Administrative Agent to the L/C Provider for application to the reimbursement of such drawing; provided that after giving effect thereto, (i) the related Investor Group Principal Amount would not exceed the related Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount, (ii) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount, (iii) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-A Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-A Maximum Principal Amount and (iv) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-X Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-X Maximum Principal Amount.

(b) The Co-Issuers’ obligations under Section 2.08(a) shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances and irrespective of (i) any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Co-Issuers may have or have had against the L/C Provider, the L/C Issuing Bank, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, (ii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (iii) payment by the L/C Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) payment by the L/C Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other liquidation, conservatorship, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar debtor relief laws of any jurisdictions or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, any Co-Issuer’s obligations hereunder. The Co-Issuers also agree that the L/C Provider and the L/C Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Co-Issuers’ Reimbursement Obligations under Section 2.08(a) shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Co-Issuers and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or

any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Co-Issuers against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. Neither the L/C Provider nor the L/C Issuing Bank shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Co-Issuers to the extent permitted by applicable law) caused by errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The Co-Issuers agree that any action taken or omitted by the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the UCC of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Co-Issuers and shall not result in any liability of the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank to the Co-Issuers. As between the Co-Issuers and the L/C Issuing Bank, the Co-Issuers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the Co-Issuers agree with the L/C Issuing Bank that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(c) If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the L/C Provider shall promptly notify the Co-Issuers and the Class A-1 Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the applicable L/C Issuing Bank to the Co-Issuers in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit and, in paying such draft, such L/C Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of any Person(s) executing or delivering any such document.

SECTION 2.09 L/C Participations.

(a) The L/C Provider irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Committed Note Purchaser with respect to each Advance Sub-Class, and, to induce the L/C Provider to provide Letters of Credit hereunder (and, if the L/C Provider is not the L/C Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit, to induce the L/C Provider to agree to reimburse such L/C Issuing Bank for any payment of any drafts presented thereunder), each Committed Note Purchaser with respect to such Advance Sub-Class irrevocably and

unconditionally agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the L/C Provider, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such Committed Note Purchaser’s own account and risk, an undivided interest in the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 L/C Note having the same alphanumeric label as such Advance Sub-Class (the “Applicable L/C Note”) equal to its Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of the L/C Provider’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit provided hereunder and the L/C Reimbursement Amount with respect to each draft paid or reimbursed by the L/C Provider in connection therewith. Each Committed Note Purchaser with respect to each Advance Sub-Class unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the L/C Provider that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the L/C Provider is not paid in full by the Co-Issuers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Committed Note Purchaser shall pay to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent upon demand of the L/C Provider an amount equal to its Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of the L/C Reimbursement Amount with respect to such Letter of Credit, or any part thereof, that is not so paid, which payment shall constitute an undivided participating interest in the Applicable L/C Note; provided that after giving effect thereto, (i) the related Investor Group Principal Amount would not exceed the related Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount, (ii) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount, (iii) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-A Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-A Maximum Principal Amount and (iv) the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-X Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2007-1 Class A-1-X Maximum Principal Amount. The Class A-1 Administrative Agent shall promptly forward such amounts to the L/C Provider.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any Committed Note Purchaser to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider pursuant to Section 2.09(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made or reimbursed by the L/C Provider under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Committed Note Purchaser shall pay to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Provider, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any Committed Note Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.09(a) is not made available to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider by such Committed Note Purchaser within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the L/C Provider shall be entitled to recover from such Committed Note Purchaser, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Base Rate. A certificate of the L/C Provider submitted to any Committed Note Purchaser with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Such amounts payable under this Section 2.09(b) shall be paid without any deduction for any withholding taxes.

(c) Whenever, at any time after payment has been made under any Letter of Credit and the L/C Provider has received from any Committed Note Purchaser its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 2.09(a), the Class A-1 Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Co-Issuers or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the L/C Provider), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Class A-1 Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider, as the case may be, will distribute to such Committed Note Purchaser its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Class A-1 Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider, as the case may be, shall be required to be returned by the Class A-1 Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider, such Committed Note Purchaser shall return to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Provider the portion thereof previously distributed by the Class A-1 Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider, as the case may be, to it.

(d) Each Committed Note Purchaser’s obligation to make the Advances referred to in Section 2.08(a) and to pay its pro rata share of any unreimbursed draft pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Committed Note Purchaser or the Co-Issuers may have against the L/C Provider, any L/C Issuing Bank, the Co-Issuers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article VII other than at the time the related Letter of Credit was issued; (iii) an adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Co-Issuers; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Indenture Document by any Co-Issuer or any other Person; (v) any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit in compliance with this Agreement or with the terms of such Letter of Credit, as applicable; or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

SECTION 2.10 Cash Collateralization of Existing Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Servicer and each Co-Issuer hereby agree that all proceeds received from Borrowings on the Series 2007-1 Closing Date up to an aggregate amount equal to $20,746,329 shall be allocated to Cash Collateralize the outstanding amount of all letters of credit issued under Applebee’s International’s existing credit agreement dated as of as of December 18, 2006 (as amended, restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof), and entered into by and among Applebee’s International, the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A., The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., Chicago Branch, and Citibank, N.A., as syndication agents, and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Banc of America Securities LLC, as joint lead arrangers and book runners (the “Existing Letters of Credit”).

For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to deposit as directed by and for the benefit of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as collateral for the Existing Letters of Credit, cash or deposit account balances (“cash collateral”) pursuant to documentation

in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.(which documents are hereby consented to by the Servicer and each of the Co-Issuers).

(e) In addition, under the circumstances set forth in Section 4.4 of the Series 2007-1 Supplement, the Co-Issuers shall jointly and severally pay contingent additional interest in respect of the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount in an amount equal to the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Contingent Additional Interest and the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Post-ARD Monthly Contingent Additional Interest payable pursuant to such Section 4.4.

(f) All computations of interest at the CP Rate and the Eurodollar Rate, all computations of Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Contingent Additional Interest and Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Post-ARD Monthly Contingent Additional Interest (other than any accruing on any Base Rate Advances) and all computations of fees shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed. All computations of interest at the Base Rate and all computations of Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Contingent Additional Interest or Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Post-ARD Monthly Contingent Additional Interest, in each case accruing on any Base Rate Advances, shall be made on the basis of a 365 (or 366, as applicable) day year and actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment of interest, principal or fees hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest owed. Interest shall accrue on each Advance, Swingline Loan and Unreimbursed L/C Drawing from and including the day on which it is made to but excluding the date of repayment thereof.

SECTION 3.02 Fees.

(d) All fees payable pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be calculated in accordance with Section 3.01(f) and paid on the date due in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture. Once paid, all fees shall be nonrefundable under all circumstances.

SECTION 3.03 Eurodollar Lending Unlawful. If any Investor or Program Support Provider shall determine that any Change in Law makes it unlawful, or any Official Body asserts that it is unlawful, for any such Person to fund or maintain any Advance as a Eurodollar Advance, the obligation of such Person to fund or maintain any such Advance as a Eurodollar Advance shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such Person shall notify the Class A-1 Administrative Agent, the related Funding Agent and the Co-Issuers that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all then outstanding Eurodollar Advances of such Person shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Advances at the end of the then current Eurodollar Interest Period with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion. If any suspension occurs under this Section 3.03 with respect to any Investor or Program Support Provider, the Co-Issuers may replace every member (but not any subset thereof) of the entire related Investor Group by giving written notice to each member of such Investor Group and the Class A-1 Administrative Agent designating one or more Persons that are willing and able to purchase each member of such Investor Group’s rights and obligations under this Agreement for a purchase price that with respect to each such member of such Investor Group will equal the amount owed to each such member of such Investor Group with respect to the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or otherwise, including any Breakage Amounts). Upon receipt of such written notice, each member of such Investor Group shall assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 9.17(a), (b), (c), and (d) as applicable, in consideration for such purchase price and at the reasonable expense of the Co-Issuers (including, without limitation, the reasonable documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to each such member); provided,

however, that no member of such Investor Group shall be obligated to assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement if the purchase price to be paid to such member is not at least equal to the amount owed to such member with respect to the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or otherwise, including any Breakage Amounts).

SECTION 3.04 Deposits Unavailable. If the Class A-1 Administrative Agent shall have determined that:

(a) by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to the Eurodollar Advances; or

(b) with respect to any interest rate otherwise applicable hereunder to any Eurodollar Advances the Eurodollar Interest Period for which has not then commenced, Investor Groups holding in the aggregate more than 50% of the Eurodollar Advances have determined that such interest rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to them of funding, agreeing to fund or maintaining such Eurodollar Advances for such Eurodollar Interest Period,

then, upon notice from the Class A-1 Administrative Agent to the Funding Agents and the Co-Issuers, the obligations of the Investors to fund or maintain any Advance as a Eurodollar Advance after the end of the then current Eurodollar Interest Period, if any, with respect thereto shall forthwith be suspended until the Class A-1 Administrative Agent has notified the Funding Agents and the Co-Issuers that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

SECTION 3.05 Increased Costs, etc. The Co-Issuers jointly and severally agree to reimburse each Investor and any Program Support Provider (each, an “Affected Person”, which term, for purposes of Sections 3.07 and 3.08, shall also include the Swingline Lender and the L/C Issuing Bank) for any increase in the cost of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by any such Affected Person, including reductions in the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital, in respect of funding or maintaining (or of its obligation to fund or maintain) any Advances as Eurodollar Advances that arise in connection with any Changes in Law, except for such Changes in Law with respect to increased capital costs and taxes which are governed by Sections 3.07 and 3.08, respectively (whether or not amounts are payable thereunder in respect thereof). Each such demand shall be provided to the related Funding Agent and the Co-Issuers in writing and shall state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Affected Person for such increased cost or reduced amount or return. Such additional amounts (“Increased Costs”) shall be payable by the Co-Issuers to such Funding Agent and by such Funding Agent directly to such Affected Person on or before 15 days after the Co-Issuers’ receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Co-Issuers. The applicable Funding Agent shall give the Co-Issuers and the Servicer prompt written notice of any event which results in Increased Costs (provided, that such

Funding Agent shall be obligated to deliver such written notice only upon such Funding Agent’s obtaining actual knowledge of the accurate and complete amount of such Increased Costs) and the Co-Issuers shall have no liability for any Increased Costs which accrue more than 365 days prior to the time the applicable Funding Agent gives such notice.

SECTION 3.06 Funding Losses. In the event any Affected Person shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Person to fund or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Advance as a Eurodollar Advance) as a result of:

(a) any conversion, repayment, prepayment or redemption (for any reason, including, without limitation, as a result of any Decrease, the acceleration of the maturity of such Eurodollar Advance) or assignment pursuant to Section 3.03 of the principal amount of any Eurodollar Advance on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto;

(b) any Advance not being funded or maintained as a Eurodollar Advance after a request therefor has been made in accordance with the terms contained herein (for a reason other than the failure of such Affected Person to make an Advance after all conditions thereto have been met); or

(c) any failure of the Co-Issuers to make a Decrease, prepayment or redemption with respect to any Eurodollar Advance after giving notice thereof pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Series 2007-1 Supplement;

then, upon the written notice of any Affected Person to the related Funding Agent and the Co-Issuers, the Co-Issuers jointly and severally shall pay to such Funding Agent and such Funding Agent shall pay directly to such Affected Person, on or before 15 days after its receipt thereof, such amount (“Breakage Amount” or “Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Breakage Amount”) as will (in the reasonable determination of such Affected Person) reimburse such Affected Person for such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Co-Issuers.

SECTION 3.07 Increased Capital Costs. If any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital required to be maintained by any Affected Person or any Person controlling such Affected Person and such Affected Person determines that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its commitment or the Advances, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit made or issued by such Affected Person is reduced to a level below that which such Affected Person or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case after notice from time to time by such Affected Person (or in the case of an L/C Issuing Bank, by the L/C Provider) to the related Funding Agent and the Co-Issuers (or, in the case of the Swingline Lender or the L/C Provider, to the Co-Issuers), the Co-Issuers jointly and severally shall pay to such Funding Agent (or, in

the case of the Swingline Lender or the L/C Provider, directly to such Person) and such Funding Agent shall pay to such Affected Person, on or before 15 days after the Co-Issuers’ receipt of such notice, such amounts (“Increased Capital Costs”) as will be sufficient to compensate such Affected Person or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of such Affected Person as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on the Co-Issuers. In determining such additional amount, such Affected Person may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable so long as it applies such method to other similar transactions. The applicable Funding Agent shall give the Co-Issuers and the Servicer prompt written notice of any event which results in Increased Capital Costs (provided, that such Funding Agent shall be obligated to deliver such written notice only upon such Funding Agent’s obtaining actual knowledge of the accurate and complete amount of such Increased Capital Costs) and the Co-Issuers shall have no liability for any Increased Costs which accrue more than 365 days prior to the time the applicable Funding Agent gives such notice.

SECTION 3.08 Taxes

(a) Except as otherwise required by law, all payments by the Co-Issuers of principal of, and interest on, the Advances, the Swingline Loans and the L/C Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder (including fees) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future income, excise, documentary, property, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority including all interest, penalties or additions to tax and other liabilities with respect thereto (all such taxes, fees, duties, withholdings and other charges, and including all interest, penalties or additions to tax and other liabilities with respect thereto, being called “Class A-1 Taxes”), but excluding in the case of any Affected Person (i) net income, franchise (imposed in lieu of net income) or similar Class A-1 Taxes (and including branch profits or alternative minimum Class A-1 Taxes) imposed or levied on the Affected Person as a result of a connection between the Affected Person and the jurisdiction of the governmental authority imposing such Class A-1 Taxes or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such Affected Person having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document) and (ii) with respect to any Affected Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States or any state of the United States (“Foreign Affected Person”), any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to the Foreign Affected Person at the time the Foreign Affected Person becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Foreign Affected Person (or its assignor, if any) was already entitled, at the time of the designation of the new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Co-Issuers with respect to withholding tax (such Class A-1 Taxes not excluded by (i) and (ii) above being called “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If any Class A-1 Taxes are imposed and required by law to be deducted from any amount payable by the Co-Issuers

hereunder, then (x) if such Class A-1 Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes, the amount of the payment shall be increased so that such payment is made, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Non-Excluded Taxes, in an amount that is not less than the amount provided for hereunder and (y) the Co-Issuers shall withhold the amount of such Class A-1 Taxes from such payment (as increased, if applicable, pursuant to the preceding clause (x)) and shall pay such amount to the taxing authority imposing such Class A-1 Taxes in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Moreover, if any Non-Excluded Taxes are directly asserted against any Affected Person or its agent with respect to any payment received by such Affected Person or its agent from the Co-Issuers or otherwise in respect of any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated therein, such Affected Person or its agent may pay such Non-Excluded Taxes and the Co-Issuers will jointly and severally, on or before 15 days after any Co-Issuer’s receipt of written notice stating the amount of such Non-Excluded Taxes (including the calculation thereof in reasonable detail), pay such additional amounts (collectively, “Increased Tax Costs,” which term shall include all amounts payable by or on behalf of any Co-Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.08) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Affected Person or agent after the payment of such Non-Excluded Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had no such Non-Excluded Taxes been asserted.

(c) As promptly as practicable after the payment of any Class A-1 Taxes, and in any event within thirty (30) days of any such payment being due, the Co-Issuers shall furnish to each applicable Affected Person or its agents a certified copy of an official receipt (or other documentary evidence satisfactory to such Affected Person and agents) evidencing the payment of such Class A-1 Taxes. If the Co-Issuers fail to pay any Class A-1 Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit to the Affected Persons or their agents the required receipts (or such other documentary evidence), the Co-Issuers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Affected Person and its agents for any incremental Class A-1 Taxes that may become payable by any such Affected Person or its agents as a result of any such failure to the extent such amounts were previously not paid to such Affected Person. For purposes of this Section 3.08, a distribution hereunder by the agent for the relevant Affected Person shall be deemed a payment by the Co-Issuers.

(d) Each Affected Person (other than any Affected Person that is not a Foreign Affected Person and is a corporation for federal tax purposes whose name contains any of the following: Incorporated, Inc., Corporation, Corp., P.C., Insurance Company, Reinsurance Company or Assurance Company) on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (from time to time thereafter as soon as practicable after the obsolescence and prior to the date of expiration or invalidity of any form or document previously delivered) and to the extent permissible under then current law, shall deliver to any Co-Issuer (or to more than one Co-Issuer, as the Co-Issuers may reasonably request), a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-9, as applicable, or applicable successor form, or such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed and executed, as

may be applicable to establish the extent to which a payment to such Affected Person is exempt from withholding or deduction of United States federal withholding taxes. The Co-Issuers shall not be required to pay any increased amount under Section 3.08(a) or Section 3.08(b) to an Affected Person in respect of the withholding or deduction of United States federal withholding taxes imposed as the result of the failure of such Affected Person to comply with the requirements set forth in this Section 3.08(d). The Co-Issuers may rely on any form or document provided pursuant to this Section 3.08(d) until notified otherwise by the Affected Person that delivered such form or document.

(e) If an Affected Person determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.08 or as to which it has been paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.08, it shall promptly notify a Co-Issuer in writing of such refund and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a written request from the Co-Issuers, pay over such refund to a Co-Issuer (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or additional amounts paid to such Affected Person under this Section 3.08 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including the net amount of Taxes, if any, imposed on or with respect to such refund or payment) of the Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority that is directly attributable to such refund of such Non-Excluded Taxes); provided that the Co-Issuers, immediately upon the request of the Affected Person to any Co-Issuer (which request shall include a calculation in reasonable detail of the amount to be repaid), agree to repay the amount of the refund (and any applicable interest) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such amount) to the Affected Person in the event the Affected Person or any other Person is required to repay such refund to such taxing authority. This Section 3.08 shall not be construed to require the Affected Person to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Co-Issuers or any other Person.

SECTION 3.09 Change of Lending Office. Each Committed Note Purchaser agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.05 or 3.07 or the payment of additional amounts to it under Section 3.08(a) or (b) with respect to such Committed Note Purchaser, it will, if requested by the Co-Issuers, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Committed Note Purchaser) to avoid the need to pay, or reduce the amount of, any reimbursement obligations under such Section 3.05, 3.07, or 3.08 including, without limitation, designating another lending office for any Advances affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole reasonable judgment of such Committed Note Purchaser, cause such Committed Note Purchaser and its lending office(s) or its related Conduit Investor to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided further that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Co-Issuers or the rights of any Committed Note Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.05, 3.07 and 3.08.

Indemnified Parties”) and such Funding Agent and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Funding Agent Indemnified Parties,” and together with the Administrative Agent Indemnified Parties, the “Applicable Agent Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities and damages, and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (solely to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Co-Issuers) (irrespective of whether any such Applicable Agent Indemnified Party is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought and including, without limitation, any liability in connection with the offering and sale of the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Notes), including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, the “Applicable Agent Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Applicable Agent Indemnified Parties or any of them (whether in prosecuting or defending against such actions, suits or claims) to the extent resulting from, or arising out of, or relating to the entering into and performance of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document by any of the Applicable Agent Indemnified Parties, except for any such Applicable Agent Indemnified Liabilities arising for the account of a particular Applicable Agent Indemnified Party by reason of the relevant Applicable Agent Indemnified Party’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, each Committed Note Purchaser, ratably according to its respective Commitment, hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Applicable Agent Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. The indemnity set forth in this Section 9.05(c)(ii) shall in no event include indemnification for any Taxes which are covered by (or expressly excluded from) the indemnification provided in Section 3.08.

SECTION 9.06 Characterization as Transaction Document; Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a Transaction Document for all purposes of the Base Indenture and the other Transaction Documents. This Agreement, together with the Base Indenture, the Series 2007-1 Supplement, the documents delivered pursuant to Article VII and the other Transaction Documents, including the exhibits and schedules thereto, contains a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all previous oral statements and other writings with respect thereto.

SECTION 9.07 Notices. All notices, amendments, waivers, consents and other communications provided to any party hereto under this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed, delivered or transmitted to such party at its address or facsimile number set forth in Section 7.15 of the Series 2007-1 Supplement, in the case of the Co-Issuers or the Servicer, or on Schedule II, in the case of the Lender Parties, the Class A-1 Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents, or in each case at such other address or facsimile number as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties.

SECTION 9.08 Severability of Provisions. Any covenant, provision, agreement or term of this Agreement that is prohibited or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of the prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.09 Tax Characterization. Each party to this Agreement (a) acknowledges that it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that, for accounting purposes and for all federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Notes will be treated as evidence of indebtedness, (b) agrees to treat the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Notes for all such purposes as indebtedness and (c) agrees that the provisions of the Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions.

SECTION 9.10 No Proceedings; Limited Recourse.

(a) The Securitization Entities. Each of the parties hereto (other than the Co-Issuers) hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of the last maturing Note issued by the Co-Issuers pursuant to the Base Indenture, it will not institute against, or join with any other Person in instituting against, any Securitization Entity, Applebee’s Holdings II or any Liquor License Holder, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings, under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, all as more particularly set forth in Section 16.8 of the Base Indenture and subject to any retained rights set forth therein; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.10(a) shall constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or other payment from the Securitization Entities pursuant to this Agreement, the Series 2007-1 Supplement, the Base Indenture or any other Transaction Document. In the event that a Lender Party (solely in its capacity as such) takes action in violation of this Section 9.10(a), each affected Securitization Entity and if affected, Applebee’s Holdings II and any Liquor License Holder, shall file or cause to be filed an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contesting the filing of such a petition by any such Person against such Securitization Entity, Applebee’s Holdings II or Liquor License Holder, as applicable, or the commencement of such action and raising the defense that such Person has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. The provisions of this Section 9.10(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by a Lender Party in the assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving any Securitization Entity, Applebee’s Holdings II or any Liquor License Holder. The obligations of the Co-Issuers under this Agreement are solely the limited liability company obligations of the Co-Issuers.

(b) The Conduit Investors. Each of the parties hereto (other than the Conduit Investors) hereby covenants and agrees that it will not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing Commercial Paper or other debt securities or instruments issued by a Conduit Investor, if any, institute against, or join with any other Person in instituting against, such Conduit Investor, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.10(b) shall constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or other payment from such Conduit Investor pursuant to this Agreement, the Series 2007-1 Supplement, the Base Indenture or any other Transaction Document. In the event that the Co-Issuers, the Servicer or a Lender Party (solely in its capacity as such) takes action in violation of this Section 9.10(b), such related Conduit Investor may file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contesting the filing of such a petition by any such Person against such Conduit Investor or the commencement of such action and raising the defense that such Person has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. The provisions of this Section 9.10(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by the Co-Issuers, the Servicer or a Lender Party in assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving a Conduit Investor. The obligations of the Conduit Investors under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of the Conduit Investors. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, including any obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement, against any stockholder, employee, officer, agent, director, member, affiliate or incorporator of any Conduit Investor; provided, however, nothing in this Section 9.10(b) shall relieve any of the foregoing Persons from any liability which any such Person may otherwise have for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 9.11 Confidentiality. Each Lender Party agrees that it shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Servicer and the Co-Issuers, other than (a) to their Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, including, without limitation, legal counsel and accountants (it being understood that the Person to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep it confidential), (b) to actual or prospective assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential basis (after obtaining such actual or prospective assignee’s or participant’s agreement to keep such Confidential Information confidential in a manner substantially similar to this Section 9.11), (c) as requested by a Governmental Authority or self-regulatory organization or required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process of which the Co-Issuers or the Servicer, as the case may be, has knowledge; provided that each Lender Party may disclose Confidential Information as requested by a Governmental Authority or self-regulatory organization or required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process of which the Co-Issuers or the Servicer, as the case may be, does not have knowledge if such Lender Party is prohibited by law, rule or regulation from disclosing such requirement to the Co-Issuers or the Servicer, as the case may be, (d) to Program Support Providers (after obtaining such Program Support

Providers’ agreement to keep such Confidential Information confidential in a manner substantially similar to this Section 9.11), (e) to any Rating Agency providing a rating for any Notes, (f) to any rating agency providing a rating for the debt of or for the benefit of any Conduit Investor or (g) in the course of litigation with the Co-Issuers, the Servicer, the Series 2007-1 Class A Insurer or such Lender Party or (h) to the Series 2007-1 Class A Insurer.

“Confidential Information” means information that the Co-Issuers or the Servicer furnishes to a Lender Party, but does not include (i) any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by a Lender Party or other Person to which a Lender Party delivered such information, (ii) any such information that was in the possession of a Lender Party prior to its being furnished to such Lender Party by the Co-Issuers or the Servicer, or (iii) any such information that is or becomes available to a Lender Party from a source other than the Co-Issuers or the Servicer; provided that, with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) herein, such source is not (x) known to a Lender Party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Co-Issuers, the Servicer or the Series 2007-1 Class A Insurer, as the case may be, or (y) known to a Lender Party to be otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation.

Upon such assignment by a Committed Note Purchaser to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the Investor Group Principal Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Committed Note Purchaser, (ii) the Funding Agent for such Committed Note Purchaser will act as the Funding Agent for such Conduit Assignee hereunder, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to the Funding Agent hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents, (iii) such Conduit Assignee and its

No assignment by any Committed Note Purchaser to a Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Committed Note Purchaser shall in any way diminish the obligation of such Committed Note Purchaser under Section 2.03 to fund any Increase not funded by such Conduit Assignee.

Documents (including, without limitation, any limitation on recourse against such Conduit Assignee as provided in this Agreement), (iv) such Conduit Assignee shall assume all of such Conduit Investor’s obligations, if any, hereunder or under the Base Indenture or under any other Transaction Document with respect to such portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount and such Conduit Investor shall be released from such obligations, (v) all distributions in respect of the Investor Group Principal Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Conduit Investor shall be made to the applicable Funding Agent on behalf of such Conduit Assignee, (vi) the definition of the term “CP Rate” with respect to the portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Conduit Assignee, as applicable, funded or maintained with Commercial Paper, if any, from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of “CP Rate” applicable to such Conduit Assignee on the basis of the costs referred to therein applicable to such Conduit Assignee (rather than any other Conduit Investor), (vii) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and (viii) if requested by the Funding Agent with respect to such Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the Funding Agent may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing.

(d) Without limiting any of the foregoing, subject to Sections 6.03 and 9.17(g), any Conduit Investor and the related Committed Note Purchaser(s) may at any time sell all or any part of their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes and any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, with the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Co-Issuers, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider, to a multi-seller commercial paper conduit, whose Commercial Paper is rated by at least two of the Specified Rating Agencies and is rated at least “A-1” from Standard & Poor’s, “P1” from Moody’s and/or “F1” from Fitch, as applicable, and one or more financial institutions providing support to such multi-seller commercial paper conduit (an “Acquiring Investor Group”) pursuant to a transfer supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit C (the “Investor Group Supplement” or the “Series 2007-1 Class A-1 Investor Group Supplement”), executed by such Acquiring Investor Group, the Funding Agent with respect to such Acquiring Investor Group (including the Conduit Investor and the Committed Note Purchasers with respect to such Investor Group), such assigning Conduit Investor and the Committed Note Purchasers with respect to such Conduit Investor, and the Funding Agent with respect to such assigning Conduit Investor and Committed Note Purchasers, and if applicable, the Co-Issuers, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider, and delivered to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Co-Issuers, the L/C Provider or the Swingline Lender shall be required for an assignment to another Committed Note Purchaser or any Affiliate of a Committed Note Purchaser and its related Conduit Investor; provided further that no consent of the Co-Issuers shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
