(ii)     exceed the lesser of (A) the Unused Committed Amount and (B) the sum of:

Section 2.07(c) after any Lender shall have furnished to the Borrower and the Agent, with reasonable supporting calculations, a notice specifying the amounts thereof.
(c)    Funding by the Agent in Anticipation of Amounts Due from the Lenders.

(e)    Failed Loans. If any Committed Lender (in such capacity, a “Failed Lender”) shall fail to make any Loan (a “Failed Loan”, and the amount of such Failed Loan, the “Failed Loan Amount”) which such Committed Lender is otherwise obligated hereunder to make to the Borrower on the Funding Date of any Borrowing, and the Agent shall not have received notice from the Borrower or such Committed Lender that any condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan has not been satisfied, then, until such Committed Lender shall have made or be deemed to have made (pursuant to the last sentence of this subsection (e)) the Failed Loan in full or the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower or such Committed Lender that any condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan was not satisfied at the time the Failed Loan was to have been made, whenever the Agent shall receive any amount from the Borrower for the account of such Committed Lender, (i) the amount so received (up to the amount of such Failed Loan) will, upon receipt by the Agent, be deemed to have been paid to the Committed Lender in satisfaction of the obligation for which paid, without actual disbursement of such amount to the Committed Lender, (ii) the Committed Lender will be deemed to have made the same amount available to the Agent for disbursement as a Loan to the Borrower (up to the amount of such Failed Loan) and (iii) the Agent will disburse such amount (up to the amount of the Failed Loan) to the Borrower or, if the Agent has previously made such amount available to the Borrower on behalf of such Committed Lender pursuant to the provisions hereof, reimburse itself (up to the amount made available to the Borrower); provided, however, that the Agent shall have no obligation to disburse any such amount to the Borrower or otherwise apply it or deem it applied as provided herein unless the Agent shall have determined in its sole discretion that to so disburse such amount will not violate any law, rule, regulation or requirement applicable to the Agent. Upon any such disbursement by the Agent, such Committed Lender shall be deemed to have made a Loan to the Borrower in satisfaction, to the extent thereof, of such Committed Lender’s obligation to make the Failed Loan.

Any Committed Lender which shall not timely notify the Agent of such election shall be deemed to have elected not to extend such Availability Period.
(ii)    If one or more Committed Lenders shall timely notify the Agent pursuant to clause (d)(i) of this Section 2.08 of its election not to extend the Availability Period or shall be deemed to have elected not to extend the Availability Period by virtue of having not timely notified the Agent of its election to extend such Availability Period, then the Agent shall so advise the Borrower and the remaining Lenders, and the remaining Lenders then maintaining a Commitment or any of them shall have the right (but not the obligation), upon notice to the Agent not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Revolving Termination Date, to increase their respective Commitments by an amount equal in the aggregate to the Commitments of the Committed Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period.

Each increase in the Commitment of a Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by a written instrument executed by such Lender and the Agent and shall take effect on the Revolving Termination Date in effect for the Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period.

The Commitment of such Eligible Assignee and the obligation to pay the purchase price for such Loans shall become effective, and such Eligible Assignee shall become a Committed Lender hereunder, on the Revolving Termination Date then in effect for the Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period.

If Lenders holding Commitments equal in the aggregate to 100.00% of the Committed Amount shall have elected to extend the Availability Period as provided in this Section 2.08(d), then (A) the Availability Period with respect to the Commitments of such Lenders and any which becomes a Lender hereunder shall continue until the date which is 364 days after the Revolving Termination Date in effect prior to such election and, as to such Lenders, the term “Revolving Termination Date”, as used herein, shall mean such 364th day; (B) the Commitments of the Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period shall continue in effect until the Revolving Termination Date in effect prior to such extension and shall then terminate, and, as to such Lenders, the term “Revolving Termination Date”, as used herein, shall continue to mean such Revolving Termination Date; and (C) on the Revolving Termination Date in effect prior to such extension, each Lender who has, or has been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period shall cease to be a Lender hereunder; provided that the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Article III and Sections 11.04 and 11.05) shall continue to govern the rights and obligations of such Lender with respect to any Loans made.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, (including without limitation in Section 2.01(b)), each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of or interest on any Loan, each payment of fees, each reduction of the Committed Amount and each conversion or continuation of any Loan, shall be allocated pro-rata among the relevant Lenders in accordance with the respective Commitment Percentages of such Lenders (or, if the Commitments of such Lenders have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the outstanding Loans of such Lenders); provided that, in the event any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10 is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agent, each Lender shall, upon the request of the Agent, repay to the Agent the amount so paid to such Lender, with interest for the period commencing on the date such payment is returned by the Agent until the date the Agent receives such repayment at a rate per annum equal to, during the period to but excluding the date two (2) Business Days after such request, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter, the Corporate Base Rate plus two percent per annum.
SECTION 2.11 Sharing of Payments. The Lenders agree among themselves that, except to the extent otherwise provided herein, if any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Loan or any other obligation owing to such Lender under this Agreement through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, in excess of its pro-rata share of such payment as provided for in this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly pay in cash or purchase from the other Lenders a participation in such Loans and other obligations in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to the end that all Lenders share such payment in accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Agreement. The Lenders further agree among themselves that if payment to a Lender obtained by such Lender through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by payment in cash or a repurchase of a participation theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit (together with its share of any accrued interest payable with respect thereto) to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a holder of such Loan or other obligation in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 2.11 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders under this Section 2.11 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
SECTION 2.12 Payments; Computations; Proceeds of Collateral, Etc.
(a)    Payments by the Borrower. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a Loan Document, all payments by the Borrower to the Protected Parties pursuant to each Loan Document shall be made by the Borrower (or by its designee) to the Agent for the pro rata account of the Protected Parties entitled to receive such payment or, at the direction of the Agent, directly to such Protected Parties; provided that any payments to the Collateral Agent or
    60

762040188


the Depositary shall be made directly by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent or the Depositary, as applicable, unless otherwise expressly provided in a Loan Document. All payments shall be made without setoff, deduction (except for Taxes which are expressly addressed in Section 3.01) or counterclaim not later than 11:00 A.M. on the date due in Dollars in same day or immediately available funds to such account or accounts (if payment is to be made directly to the Collateral Agent, the Depositary or any other Protected Party) as the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary, as applicable, shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary, or any other Protected Party, as the case may be, on the next succeeding Business Day. In the event that a payment is made to Agent for the pro rata account of the Protected Parties entitled to such payment, the Agent shall promptly remit in same day funds to each Protected Party its share, if any, of such payments received by the Agent for the account of such Protected Party. Whenever any payment is to be made hereunder or under any Loan, or whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise occur on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and interest at the Applicable Rate shall accrue on such amount from the first day of such Interest Period to the last day of such Interest Period (regardless whether such last day is not a Business Day); provided, that such next succeeding Business Day shall not be included in such Interest Period but shall be included in the next succeeding Interest Period.
(b)    Distributions by the Agent. Each such distribution by the Agent to such Protected Party shall be made in accordance with Section 2.07. Upon the request of any Protected Party, the Agent in its sole discretion may cause to be distributed to such Protected Party on such due date a corresponding amount with respect to the amount then due such Protected Party. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent and the Agent shall have so caused to be distributed to such Protected Party a corresponding amount with respect to the amount then due such Protected Party, such Protected Party shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Protected Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Protected Party until the date such Protected Party repays such amount, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three Business Days after demand by the Agent and at the Applicable Rate thereafter until the date such Protected Party repays such amount to the Agent.
(c)    Computations. All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days.
SECTION 2.13 Adjustments to Advance Rate and Borrowing Base. The percentages specified in the definition of “Advance Rate” may be modified by the agreement of all of the Lenders and the Borrower. Any change in any such percentage shall take effect on the next succeeding Settlement Date or as otherwise agreed by the Borrower and each of the Lenders.
SECTION 2.14 Interest Rate Risk Management. The Borrower agrees that it will enter into and maintain one or more interest rate cap agreements on the Closing Date reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Required Lenders having (i) an aggregate notional balance of not less than an amount equal to 85% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans (and if such Acceptable Derivatives Agreement is an interest rate swap agreement, not more than 110% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans) at a strike rate no greater than 2.50% and (ii) an expiry date no earlier than the Revolving Termination Date, using funds available under clause (y) of clause fifth of Section 2.07(c)(i), (ii) or (iii), as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower agrees to maintain such interest rate cap agreement(s) until the anticipated Revolving Termination Date; provided that such interest rate cap agreement may be amended or may be replaced by another Acceptable Derivatives Agreement in compliance with the terms hereof with the prior consent of the Agent and the Required Lenders.
    61    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


The Borrower will, to the extent required by any Committed Lender, amend any Acceptable Derivatives Agreement which is then in effect at any time when there is (i) any increase in the outstanding principal amount of the Loans or (ii) any change in the contractual payment schedule of the Loans, so that such Acceptable Derivatives Agreement, as amended, would comply with the definition of “Acceptable Derivatives Agreement” if first entered into on the date of such amendment.
Amounts received by the Borrower under any Acceptable Derivatives Agreement shall be deposited into the Collection Account and applied as set forth in Section 2.07(c). For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Depositary shall have any obligations with respect to the Acceptable Derivatives Agreement other than to apply amounts in accordance with the related Monthly Report.
SECTION 2.15 Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.
(a)    Subject to clauses (b) through (f) of this Section 2.15, if prior to the first day of any Interest Period:
(i)    the Agent determines in its reasonable discretion (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Benchmark (including because any screen rate necessary to determine such rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period (or for such day); provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time with respect to such Benchmark; or
(ii)    the Agent is advised by the Required Lenders in their reasonable discretion that the applicable Benchmark for such Interest Period (or for such day) will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loan(s) for such Interest Period (or for such day);
then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any Loan that would otherwise be funded or maintained based on the relevant Benchmark shall instead be a Corporate Base Rate Loan, and during such time the definition of “Interest Rate” shall be defined as “the Corporate Base Rate”.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 P.M. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from the Required Lenders.
    62    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


(c)    In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(d)    The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.15, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their reasonable discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.15.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(f)    Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing during such Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, any Loan that would otherwise be funded or maintained based on the relevant Benchmark shall, during such Benchmark Unavailability Period, instead be funded or maintained based on the Corporate Base Rate, and during such time the definition of “Interest Rate” shall defined as “the Corporate Base Rate”.
ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
SECTION 3.01 Taxes.
(a)    Payments Net of Certain Taxes. Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Protected Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto
    63    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


(hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”), excluding, in the case of each Protected Party, (i) Taxes imposed on its net income, and franchise, branch profits, capital or net worth Taxes imposed on it, in each case by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Protected Party is organized or has an office or place of business, other than solely on account of being a party to, receiving a payment or income under, or enforcing, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any political subdivision thereof, and (ii) any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA (all such Taxes that are not described in the preceding clause (i) or clause (ii) are hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any Protected Party, (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) such Protected Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and withholdings, (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law and (iv) as soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at the Agent’s Office, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(b)    Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes which arise from any payment made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(c)    Additional Taxes. (i) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Protected Party for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.01 and including any enforcement costs related to this Section 3.01(c)) paid or payable by such Protected Party and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, except for any penalties, interest and expenses resulting from the actions or inactions of such Protected Party. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Protected Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(ii)    Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Taxes excluded under Section 3.01(a) above attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this clause (ii).
    64

(d)    Tax Forms and Certificates. Each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages thereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as required by law on or prior to the expiration of the form or certificate most recently provided, provide the Borrower, the Depositary, and the Agent with true, complete and correct Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax. Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages thereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as required by law on or prior to the expiration of the form or certificate most recently provided, provide the Borrower, the Depositary and the Agent with true, complete and correct (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or W-8-ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces or eliminates withholding Tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) any other form or certificate required by any United States taxing authority (including any certificate required by Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code), certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from Tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. If a Lender or Protected Party sells, assigns or transfers any participation in a Loan to another Person, such Lender or Protected Party shall provide any new forms required as a result of such sale or transfer (including, if necessary, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY). Additionally, each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower, the Depositary and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(e)    Failure to Provide Tax Forms and Certificates. For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower, the Depositary and the Agent with the appropriate form or certificate in the manner and as prescribed by Section 3.01(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), neither such Lender nor any related Protected Party shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 3.01(a) or 3.01(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States or any political subdivision therein as a result of such failure (and such Taxes shall not be considered an “Indemnified Tax”).
(f)    Obligations in Respect of Non-U.S. Lenders. The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender or related Protected Party or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender or related Protected Party, in respect of United States Federal withholding Tax pursuant to subsections (a) or (c) above (and such Tax shall not be considered an “Indemnified Tax”) to the extent that the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal withholding Tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a participant, on the date such participant acquired its participation interest) or to the extent such obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States federal withholding Tax arises after such date as a result of a change in residence, place of incorporation, principal place of business, or office or location in which Loans governed by this Agreement are booked or recorded by such Lender or Protected Party; provided, however, that this subsection (f) shall not apply (i) to any participant that becomes a participant as a result of an assignment, participation, transfer or designation made at the request of the Borrower or where a change of office or location in which Loans governed by this Agreement are booked or recorded is made at the request of the Borrower and (ii) to the
    65    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any participant would be entitled to receive (without regard to this subsection (f)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the Person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such participant would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation.
(g)    Obligations in Respect of FATCA. Without duplication to a Lender’s obligation to provide tax forms or certificates under Section 3.01(d), if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, the Depositary and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Depositary or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Depositary or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower, the Depositary and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payments. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(g), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(h)    Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i)    Mitigation. If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Protected Party pursuant to this Section 3.01, then such Protected Party will agree to use reasonable efforts to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Protected Party, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
(j)    Tax Receipts. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes under this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment (to the extent one is so provided).
    66    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


(k)    Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in subsections (a) through (j) above shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder and under any instrument delivered hereunder.
SECTION 3.02 Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any Applicable Law, or any change in any Applicable Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the applicable Lender to make, maintain or fund any of its Loans at a rate based upon the applicable Interest Rate (such event being hereinafter referred to as an “Illegality Event”) and such Lender shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Borrower and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, interest on the Loans of such Lender shall accrue and be payable at the Corporate Base Rate. If an Illegality Event does not affect all Lenders, the Agent shall make a good faith effort to cause the Lenders that are not affected by such Illegality Event to purchase the Loans held by the affected Lenders. The foregoing shall not delay or otherwise affect the Borrower’s obligation to pay interest at the Corporate Base Rate as provided in this paragraph.
SECTION 3.03 Increased Costs and Reduced Return.
(a)    If, on or after the date hereof, (i) the adoption of or any change in any Applicable Law (including any Existing Law (defined below)) or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Protected Party, (ii) any request, guidance or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or (iii) the compliance, application or implementation by any Protected Party with the foregoing subclauses (i) or (ii) or any Existing Law, in each case made subsequent to the Effective Date (or, if later, the date on which such Protected Party becomes a Protected Party):
(i)    shall subject such Protected Party to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Loans made by it or its Note or its obligation to make Loans, or change the basis of such Tax (except, in each case, for (A) Indemnified Taxes (B) Other Taxes and (C) Taxes measured by or imposed upon net income (however denominated) or franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes);
(ii)    shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Protected Party which is not otherwise included in the determination of the applicable Interest Rate hereunder; or
(iii)    shall impose on such Protected Party any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Protected Party of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining any Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof (any such increased cost or reduction hereinafter referred to as an “Increased Cost”), then, in any such case, upon notice to the Borrower from such Protected Party, through the Agent, in accordance herewith, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay such Protected Party, in accordance with Section 2.07(c), any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Protected Party on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable
    67    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified) for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.
(b)    If any Protected Party shall have determined that (i) the adoption or the becoming effective of, or any change in, or any change by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof in the interpretation or administration of, any Applicable Law (including any Existing Law), regarding capital adequacy, (ii) any request, guidance or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, or (iii) the compliance, application or implementation by such Protected Party or its parent corporation of the foregoing subclauses (i) or (ii) or any Existing Law has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Protected Party’s (or parent corporation’s) capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Protected Party, or its parent corporation, could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Protected Party’s (or parent corporation’s) policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon notice from such Protected Party to the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Protected Party in accordance with Section 2.07(c), such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Protected Party on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified) for such reduction. Each determination by any such Protected Party of amounts owing under this Section 3.03 shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, an Applicable Law regarding capital adequacy shall include, but not be limited to, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (ii) the publication entitled “Basel III: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems,” as updated from time to time (“Basel III”); or (iii) any implementing rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations or directives from any official body relating to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or Basel III (whether or not having the force of law and whether any such Applicable Law becomes effective before or after the date hereof) (collectively, “Existing Law”).
(c)    A certificate of each Protected Party setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Protected Party or its holding company as specified in subsection (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay each Protected Party the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it on the next succeeding Settlement Date in accordance with Section 2.07(c).
(d)    Promptly after any Protected Party becomes aware of any circumstance that will, in its sole judgment, result in a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 3.03, such Protected Party shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure on the part of any Protected Party so to notify the Borrower or to demand compensation for any Increased Costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Protected Party’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period. The protection of this Section 3.03 shall be available to each Protected Party regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed.
SECTION 3.04 Funding Losses. The Borrower shall indemnify each Protected Party against any loss or reasonable expense (but excluding in any event loss of anticipated profit) which such Protected Party may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) any failure by the Borrower to fulfill on the date of any Borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, so long as any such failure is not solely due to the failure of the Agent or any Lender

to comply with its obligations hereunder in all material respects, (ii) any failure by the Borrower to borrow or to refinance any Loan hereunder after irrevocable notice of such Borrowing, or refinancing has been given pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.07, so long as any such failure is not solely due to the failure of the Agent or any Lender to comply with its obligations hereunder in all material respects or (iii) any payment or prepayment of a Loan, whether voluntary or involuntary, pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made on a date other than the Settlement Date applicable thereto, so long as any such payment, prepayment or conversion is not solely due to the failure of the Agent or any Lender to comply with its obligations hereunder in all material respects (each such loss or expense, a “Funding Loss”). Such Funding Losses shall be determined by each Protected Party in its sole discretion and shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Protected Party, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid or not borrowed (based on the then-current Benchmark), for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow to the last day of the then applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan which would have been applicable to such Loan on the date of such failure to borrow) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Protected Party) that would be realized by such Protected Party in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid or not borrowed or continued for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts payable under this Section 3.04 shall be calculated on the basis of the Committed Lender or the Conduit Lender, as applicable, obtaining funds for its Loans based on borrowing for a one-month period. A certificate of any Protected Party setting forth any amount or amounts which such Protected Party is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 3.05 Market Disruption.
(a)    If a Market Disruption Event exists with respect to any Loan bearing interest at the Applicable Rate for any day during any Interest Period, then the portion of such Loan held by each Lender for such Interest Period shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum (in lieu of the Applicable Rate with respect to such Loan prior to giving effect to such Market Disruption Event) equal to the sum of:
(1)    the Facility Margin; plus
(2)    the actual cost of funds of such Lender(s) for such Interest Period; provided that, if a Market Disruption Event (as defined in subsection (b) of this Section 3.05) exists and the provisions of this Section 3.05 are applicable, then each affected Lender shall certify, in a statement provided to the Agent and the Borrower, its actual costs of funds for such Interest Period; plus
(3)    at any time after the Revolving Termination Date, the Step-Up Margin.
(b)    For purposes of this Section 3.05, “Market Disruption Event” means, with respect to any Loan bearing interest at the Applicable Rate for any day during any Interest Period, one or more Lenders provide notice to the Agent and the Borrower, not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, that, with respect to such Interest Period, the then-current Benchmark does not accurately reflect the cost to such Lender(s) of maintaining or funding its Loans for such Interest Period and the actual cost of funds of such Lender(s) for such Interest Period is greater than the then-current Benchmark.
(c)    Notwithstanding and in lieu of anything provided herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary, with respect to each Interest Period with respect to
    69

which a Market Disruption Event is applicable, the Borrower shall pay to each affected Lender interest for such Interest Period at the rate provided in subsection (a) of this Section 3.05.

SECTION 5.14 Purpose of Loans. The proceeds of the Loans made on each Funding Date will be used solely to fund the Purchase Price of Eligible Railcars and related Eligible Leases added to the Portfolio on such Funding Date and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith.
SECTION 5.15 Labor Matters. There are no strikes against any Facility Party, other than any strikes that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The hours worked and payments made to employees of each Facility Party have not been in violation in any material respect of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other Applicable Law dealing with such matters. All payments due from any Facility Party, or for which any claim may be made against any Facility Party, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the applicable Facility Party. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and/or Lease Documents will not give rise to a right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which each Facility Party is a party or by which it (or any predecessor) is bound, other than collective bargaining agreements which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to any Facility Party.
SECTION 5.16 Environmental Matters. Each Facility Party has complied in all respects with all applicable Environmental Laws, except where the failure to comply could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Facility Party has received written notice of any actual or claimed or asserted failure so to comply with Environmental Laws which alone, or together with any other such liability or notices which have been previously or concurrently received, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, other than in connection with failures which have been corrected. No hazardous wastes, hazardous substances, hazardous materials, toxic substances or toxic pollutants, as those terms are used in any Environmental Laws, are managed on any property of any Facility Party in violation of any regulations promulgated pursuant thereto or any other Applicable Law, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 5.17 Intellectual Property. Each Facility Party owns, or possesses the right to use, all of the Trinity Marks, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, franchises, licenses and other rights that are reasonably necessary for the operation of its business, without conflict with the rights of any other Person. To the best knowledge of the Facility Parties, no slogan or other advertising devise, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by any Facility Party infringes upon any rights held by any other Person. No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or overtly threatened, and no patent, invention, device, application, principle or any statute, law, rule, regulation, standard or code is pending or, to the knowledge of any Facility Party, proposed, which, in either case, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 9.02 Acceleration; Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and at any time thereafter unless and until such Event of Default has been waived in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders as may be required pursuant to Section 11.03), the Collateral Agent upon the written direction of the Agent or the Agent upon the request and direction of the Required Lenders, shall by written notice to the Borrower take any or all of the following actions without prejudice to the rights of the Collateral Agent, the Agent or any Lender to enforce its claims against any of the Facility Parties except as otherwise specifically provided for herein:
(a)    Termination of Commitments. Declare the Commitments terminated whereupon the Commitments shall be immediately terminated.
(b)    Acceleration of Loans. Declare the unpaid principal of and any accrued interest in respect of all Loans and any and all other indebtedness or obligations of any and every kind owing by the Borrower to any of the Lenders hereunder to be due whereupon the same shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.
(c)    Enforcement of Rights. Enforce any and all rights and interests created and existing under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, directing the Collateral Agent to enforce all rights and remedies existing under the Collateral Documents (including, without limitation, the seizure and liquidation of any Collateral) and all rights of set-off.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 9.01(g) shall occur, then the Commitments shall automatically terminate and all Loans, all accrued interest in respect thereof and all accrued and unpaid fees and other indebtedness or obligations owing to the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately become due and payable without the giving of any notice or other action by the Collateral Agent, the Agent or the Lenders, which notice or other action is expressly waived by the Borrower.
Notwithstanding the fact that enforcement powers reside primarily with the Collateral Agent and the Agent, each Lender has, to the extent permitted by law, a separate right of payment and shall be considered a separate “creditor” holding a separate “claim” within the meaning of Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other insolvency statute.
In case any one or more of the covenants and/or agreements set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall have been breached by any Facility Party, then the Collateral Agent shall, at the written direction of the Agent, and the Agent may proceed to protect and enforce the Lenders’ rights either by suit in equity and/or by action at law, including an action

AGENCY PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01 Appointment; Authorization.
(a)    Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Atlas Securitized Products Administration, L.P., as Agent of such Lender to act as specified herein and in the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender hereby authorizes the Agent, as the agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated by the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including but not limited to the appointing of the Collateral Agent under the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or shall otherwise exist against the Agent. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Facility Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing two sentences, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The provisions of this Article X (other than Section 10.09) are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and none of the Facility Parties nor the Collateral Agent shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of the provisions hereof (other than Section 10.09).
(b)    Collateral Documents. Without limiting the generality of clause (a) of this Section 10.01, each Lender hereby further authorizes the Agent to appoint U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association as Collateral Agent and U.S. Bank National Association as Depositary to enter into the applicable Collateral Documents on behalf of and for the benefit of such Lender or otherwise and to require the delivery of any Collateral Document which the Agent determines is necessary or advisable to protect or perfect the interests of the Protected Parties in any Collateral and agrees to be bound by the terms of each of the Collateral Documents. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to Section 11.08, each Lender agrees that no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Collateral Document or Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Agent (or its designee, including the Collateral Agent and the Depositary) for the benefit of Protected Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent (or, at the Agent’s written direction,
    100    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


its designee, including the Collateral Agent and the Depositary) (i) to release Collateral as permitted or required under this Agreement or the Collateral Documents or by Applicable Laws, and agrees that a certificate or other instrument executed by the Agent or the Collateral Agent evidencing such release of Collateral shall be conclusive evidence of such release as to any third party, and (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 11.03 hereof, to enter into any amendments or waivers of the Collateral Documents which the Agent determines are necessary or advisable, including, without limitation, those Collateral Documents the form of which are exhibits to this Agreement.
SECTION 10.02 Delegation of Duties. The Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Depositary may execute any of their respective duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. None of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 10.03 Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection herewith or in connection with any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or participants for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Facility Parties contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial statement or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary under or in connection herewith or in connection with the other Loan Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency therefor of any of the other Loan Documents, or for any failure of any Facility Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or of the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Facility Parties. Neither the Collateral Agent or the Depositary shall have any liability or obligation with respect to any determination by the Agent, the Borrower or the Lenders that a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred or the selection of any replacement index or Benchmark Replacement, or the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or any modification of the definition of “Interest Period”, or the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark, or the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Depositary shall have any liability for any inability or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Agreement as a result of the unavailability of any Benchmark or the absence of a designated Benchmark Replacement, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other Person, including without limitation the Agent or the Lenders in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of any Loan Document and reasonably required for the performance of its duties. The Collateral Agent shall have the same rights, protections, privileges, immunities and indemnities in acting under this Agreement that are set forth as to the Collateral Agent in the Security Agreement. The Depositary shall have the same rights, protections, privileges, immunities, and indemnities in acting under this Agreement that are set forth as to the Depositary in the Depositary Agreement.

SECTION 10.04 Reliance on Communications. Each of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Depositary shall be entitled to conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram,

telegram, telecopy, telex, teletype or e-mail message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any of the Facility Parties, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary, as applicable, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct). The Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of its interests hereunder for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent in accordance with Section 11.06(b). Each of the Collateral Agent, the Depositary, and the Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each of the Agent, the Depositary, and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or to the extent specifically provided in Section 11.03, all the Lenders) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders (including their successors and assigns). Where this Agreement expressly permits or prohibits an action unless the Required Lenders (or to the extent specifically provided in Section 11.03, all the Lenders) otherwise determine, each of the Agent, the Depositary, and the Collateral Agent shall, and in all other instances the Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Depositary may, but shall not be required to, initiate any solicitation for the consent or vote of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to impose an obligation on the part of the Collateral Agent or the Depositary to monitor, recalculate, evaluate or verify or independently determine the accuracy of any report, certificate or information received under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents (except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth herein).
SECTION 10.05 Notice of Default. None of the Collateral Agent, the Agent, or the Depositary shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, Servicer Event of Default or Event of Default, except in the case of the Agent, with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, unless such party has received written notice from a Lender, the Servicer or the Borrower referring to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, describing such Default, the Servicer Event of Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. If the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Each of the Agent and the Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default, Servicer Event of Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed in writing by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, has received any such written direction, the Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default, Servicer Event of Default or Event of Default or it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
SECTION 10.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by the Agent or Collateral Agent. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor the Collateral Agent has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent or Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Facility Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent or Collateral Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Agent or Collateral Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender represents to the Agent and Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and
    102    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Facility Parties, and all requirements of Applicable Law, and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of each Facility Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder, neither the Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of any Facility Party or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.
SECTION 10.07 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders agree, severally but not jointly and subject to the provisions of Section 11.06(h), to indemnify the Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Depositary (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitments (or if the Commitments have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of outstanding Loans of the Lenders), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following payment in full of the Obligations and including the costs and expenses of enforcing such indemnification obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary in each of their respective capacities as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 10.07. If any indemnity furnished to the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary, as the case may be, be insufficient or become impaired, each of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Depositary upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by each of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Depositary in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The agreements in this Section 10.07 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and all other obligations and amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 10.08 The Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Depositary in Their Individual Capacities. The Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary and their respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity
    103    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


Interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting and other business with either Facility Party as though the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary were not the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary hereunder or under another Loan Document. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to any such activities, the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary or their respective Affiliates may receive information regarding any Facility Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Facility Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that none of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to the Loans made by and all obligations owing to it, each of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Depositary shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it was not the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary, as the case may be, in their respective individual capacities.
SECTION 10.09 Successor Agents. The Agent may, at any time, resign upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Lenders. If the Agent resigns under a Loan Document, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Agent, the appointment of such successor Agent, if other than a Committed Lender, shall be subject to the consent of the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment prior to the effective date of the resignation of the resigning Agent, then the resigning Agent shall have the right, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, to appoint a successor Agent; provided such successor Agent is a Lender hereunder or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the resigning Agent, the resigning Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor Agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as an Agent, as appropriate, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Section 10.09 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent within sixty (60) days after the retiring Agent’s giving notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless become effective and the Lenders shall perform all duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.
SECTION 10.10 Request for Documents. The Agent shall from time to time upon reasonable request therefor furnish each Lender with copies of Funding Packages, Railcar Documentation, Lease Documents and/or Loan Documents (to the extent such Funding Packages, Railcar Documentation, Lease Documents and/or Loan Documents are provided by the Borrower or other third parties, in the form and to the extent provided to the Agent by the Borrower or such third parties).
SECTION 10.11 Erroneous Payments.
(a) If the Agent (x) notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”), that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under the immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise
    104    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 10.11 and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Agent in its sole discretion) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (and each of their respective successors and assigns), hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then, in each such case:
(i)    it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of the immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of the immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii)    such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in the immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 10.11(b).
For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section 10.11(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 10.11(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.
(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Agent has demanded to be returned under the immediately preceding clause (a).
    105

(d) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, to the rights and interests of such Lender) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Facility Party; provided that this Section 10.11 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Facility Parties relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Agent; provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from, or on behalf of (including through the exercise of remedies under any Loan Document), the Borrower or any other Facility Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations.
(e) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(f) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, delivery of any notice or report required or permitted under this Agreement (with the exception of any notification of breach or default, whether matured or unmatured, including but not limited to Section 10.05, and any notice or report that by its terms requires two or more forms of notice), by or on behalf of the Borrower to any other transaction party shall be, or by or on behalf of any other transaction party to the Borrower or any other transaction party may (but shall not be required to) be, transmitted by means of use of the communication portal maintained by or on behalf of the Agent, any Affiliate of a Lender or designee (the “Portal Provider”), which shall be available at the internet address specified by the Agent from time to time in writing to the Borrower and all other parties (the “Communication Portal”). As a condition of providing access to the Communication Portal, the Portal Provider may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer and/or other agreement to the terms and conditions of use, including an agreement to comply with the Portal Provider’s instructions for use of the Communication Portal. No such notice or report made by means of the Communication Portal shall be deemed sufficient for any purpose unless uploaded in accordance with the terms and conditions of use and instructions for use of the Communication Portal provided by the Portal Provider from time to time. Notwithstanding the use of the Communication Portal by the Borrower or any other party, neither the Borrower, the Agent nor (if different) the Portal Provider shall be responsible for any failure of any such notice or report to be delivered, timely or otherwise, to any party. Furthermore, neither the Borrower, the Agent nor (if different) the Portal Provider shall have any liability to the Borrower or any other party with respect to any information that is not delivered or transmitted to or available for download by any party, because of the failure of that information to be uploaded in accordance with the terms and conditions of the use of the Communication Portal, because that information is not in a form or format that will allow it to be uploaded to or further transmitted by the Communication Portal, or because that information is not actually received by the Communication Portal for any reason. Each of the Borrower and any other transaction party that uploads any notice or report to the Communication Portal understands and acknowledges that it has sole responsibility for redacting any confidential information or
    107    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


personally identifiable information from any notice or report before uploading it to the Communication Portal and that, once so uploaded, any such notice or report may be transmitted to or downloaded by any other party as is, in the form received. For the avoidance of doubt, the Portal Provider shall not be responsible for redacting from any uploaded notice or report any confidential information prior to providing that information to any other party. Neither the Borrower nor the Portal Provider shall be required to make available to any party any information that in its sole judgment is confidential, may include any personally identifiable information or could otherwise violate Applicable Law, or could result in liability to the Borrower, the Agent or (if different) the Portal Provider, or to any of their respective Affiliates. Each of the Borrower, the Agent and (if different) the Portal Provider shall be entitled to rely on but shall not be responsible to any other party for the content or accuracy of any information provided by means of the Communication Portal. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 11.01(d) shall not apply to any delivery or notice to the Collateral Agent or the Depositary, which shall receive notices solely in accordance with Section 11.01(a).
SECTION 11.02 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary or any Lender and any of the Facility Parties shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Facility Party in any case shall entitle the Facility Parties to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
SECTION 11.03 Amendments, Waivers and Consents. None of this Agreement any other Loan Document or any of the terms hereof or thereof may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated except, in the case of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements or a consent or consents in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Servicer, to the extent it is a party thereto, the Required Lenders, and the Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not restrict the ability of the Required Lenders to waive any Event of Default prior to the time the Agent shall have declared, or the Required Lenders shall have requested the Agent to declare, the Loans immediately due and payable pursuant to Article IX; provided, however, that:
(i)    no such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender affected thereby:
(A)    extend the Revolving Termination Date (other than in accordance with the procedures sets forth in Section 2.08) or extend or waive the Maturity Date or any payment of the Loans due thereon; provided that this clause (A) shall not restrict the ability of the Required Lenders to waive any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default the waiver of which would effectively result in any such extension or waiver), prior to the time the Agent shall have declared, or the Required Lenders shall have requested the Agent to declare, the Loans immediately due and payable pursuant to Article IX;
(B)    reduce the rate, or extend the time of payment, of interest (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) thereon or fees hereunder;
    108    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


(C)    reduce or waive the principal amount of any Loan;
(D)    increase the Commitment of a Lender over the amount then in effect (it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any Default, Servicer Default, Servicer Replacement Event, Servicer Event of Default or Event of Default or a mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Commitment of any Lender);
(E)    release all or substantially all of the Collateral securing the Credit Obligations hereunder (provided that the Collateral Agent may, without consent from any other Lender, release any Collateral that is sold or transferred by the Borrower in compliance with Section 7.05);
(F)    release any Facility Party from its respective obligations under the Loan Documents and/or the Management Documents;
(G)    amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11.03 or reduce any percentage specified in, or otherwise modify, the definition of Required Lenders;
(H)    amend or modify or, if applicable, waive the effects of the definition of “Advance Rate”, “Advance Rate Reduction Percentage”, “Borrowing Base”, “Collateral Deficiency”, “Eligible Lease”, “Eligible Railcar”, “Excluded Assets Amount (FMV)”, “Excluded Assets Amount (NBV)”, “Liquidity Reserve Target Amount” or any term that is a component of any such definition;
(I)    consent to the assignment or transfer by either Facility Party of any of its rights and obligations under (or in respect of) the Loan Documents and the Servicing Agreement, except as permitted thereby; or
(J)    change Section 2.10 or Section 2.11 in a manner that would alter the pro rata treatment of payments required thereby.
(ii)    no provision of Article X may be amended without the consent of the Agent; and
(iii)    any amendment affecting the rights, duties, protections, indemnities or immunities of the Collateral Agent or the Depositary shall require the written consent of the Collateral Agent or the Depositary, as applicable.
Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, (i) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (ii) the Required Lenders may consent to allow the Borrower to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.
The various requirements of this Section 11.03 are cumulative. Each Lender and each holder of a Note shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 11.03 regardless of whether its Note shall have been marked to make reference therein, and any consent by any Lender or holder of a Note pursuant to this Section 11.03 shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring a Note from it, whether or not such Note shall have been so marked.

The Borrower shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with the Depository Agreement including, without limitation, all fees (including any annual fee payable to the Depositary pursuant to the Depository Agreement), expenses and any indemnity payments to the Depositary and all fees and expenses in creating, maintaining and administrating the Accounts.

Except as expressly provided in the second paragraph of this Section 11.04, this Section 11.04 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
SECTION 11.05 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary, each Lender, each other Protected Party and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against (and without duplication of amounts payable or the provisions which relate to such payment under the other provisions of the Loan Documents): (i) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person relating directly or indirectly to a claim, demand, action or cause of action that such Person asserts or may assert against any Facility Party, any Affiliate of any Facility Party or any of their respective officers or directors; (ii) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Obligations and the resignation or removal of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary or the replacement of any Lender) be asserted or imposed against any Indemnitee, arising out of or relating to, the Loan Documents, any predecessor Loan Documents, the Commitments, the use of or contemplated use of the proceeds of any Loan, or the relationship of any Facility Party, the Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than those resulting solely from a dispute among the Indemnitees (excluding claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or fulfilling its role as the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary)); (iii) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, suits, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by, imposed on or asserted against such Indemnitee in connection with any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Authority arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clause (i) or (ii) above; (iv) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, suits, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by, imposed on or asserted against such Indemnitee in connection with any Loan Document, Lease Document, other Transaction Document or any document contemplated hereby or thereby and payments made pursuant hereto or thereto or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder or thereunder, any breach by any Facility Party of any Transaction Document or Lease Document or a Lessee of any Lease Document; (v) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, suits, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of enforcing the Borrower’s contractual and indemnification obligations under the Loan Documents, which may be incurred by, imposed on or asserted against such Indemnitee in connection with any Railcar, any Part or the Borrower’s acquisition or ownership of, or the selection, design, financing, lease, control, operation, condition, location, storage, modification, repair, sale, use, maintenance, possession, registration, delivery, nondelivery, transportation, transfer or disposition of, any Railcar or Part; (vi) any liability arising under or in respect of any Environmental Law, in each case relating to any Railcar or the use, operation or ownership thereof, whether by any Facility Party, any Lessee or any other Person; (vii) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, suits, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by, imposed on or asserted against such Indemnitee in connection with any investigation or administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of any Collateral Document or in any other way connected with the enforcement of any of the terms of, or the presentation of any rights under, or in any way relating to or arising out of the manufacture, ownership, ordering, purchasing, delivery, control,

acceptance, lease, financing, possession, operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition or use of the Collateral (including, without limitation, intent or other defects, whether or not discoverable), the violation of any laws of any country, state or other governmental body or unit, or any tort (including, without limitation, any claims, arising or imposed under the doctrine of strict liability, or for or on account of injury to or the death of any Person (including any Indemnitees)), or property damage or contract claim; and (viii) any and all liabilities (including liabilities under indemnities), losses, costs or expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, or as a result of the preparation of any defense in connection with any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, in all cases, and whether or not an Indemnitee is a party to such claim, demand, action, cause of action, or proceeding (all the foregoing, collectively; the “Indemnified Liabilities”). THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LIABILITIES AND COSTS ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT OWED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UNDER ANY CLAIM OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY OR CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, BY ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY KIND BY ANY INDEMNITEE; provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any claim caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct and provided further, that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any claim arising solely out of (i) the bankruptcy, insolvency or other financial inability of one or more Lessees to make payments under a related Lease or (ii) the decline in market value of a Portfolio Railcar, to the extent not attributable to the failure of a Facility Party to perform an obligation with respect to such Portfolio Railcar under a Transaction Document. In addition, no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any Taxes pursuant to this Section 11.05 (except to the extent expressly provided in next paragraph of this Section 11.05), except for any Taxes representing losses, costs, expenses, damages etc. relating to a non-Tax claim. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 11.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Facility Party, their respective directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person or any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The Borrower agrees not to assert any claim against the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary, any Lender, any other Protected Party, any of their Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents and advisers, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including lost profits) arising out of or otherwise relating to the Loan Documents, any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the agreements and obligations of the Facility Parties contained in this Section 11.05 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and other obligations under the Loan Documents and the termination of the Commitments hereunder and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent or the Depositary.
The Borrower shall, no later than twenty (20) days following demand, reimburse any Indemnitee for any Indemnified Liability referred to above or, upon request from any Indemnitee, shall pay such amounts directly. Any payment made to or on behalf of any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 11.05 shall be adjusted to such amount as will, after taking into account all Taxes imposed with respect to the accrual or receipt of such payment (as the same may be increased pursuant to this sentence) and after taking into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified, equal the amount of the payment. To the extent that the Borrower in fact indemnifies any Indemnitee pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.05 (other than in respect of Taxes), the Borrower shall be subrogated to such Indemnitee’s rights in the affected transaction and shall have a right to determine the settlement of claims therein.
    112    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


If a claim of the type described above is made against an Indemnitee and such Indemnitee has notice thereof, such Indemnitee shall promptly, upon receiving such notice, give notice of such claim to the Borrower; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder except if and to the extent that such failure results in an increase in the Borrower’s indemnification obligations hereunder. The Borrower shall be entitled, in each case at its sole cost and expense, acting through counsel reasonably acceptable to the relevant Indemnitee: (i) in any judicial or administrative proceeding that involves solely a claim of the type described above, to assume responsibility for and control thereof, (ii) in any judicial or administrative proceeding involving a claim of the type described above and other claims related or unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than with respect to Taxes), to assume responsibility for and control of such claim, to the extent that the same may be and is severed from such other claims (and such Indemnitee shall use its best efforts to obtain such severance), and (iii) in any other case, to be consulted by such Indemnitee with respect to judicial proceedings subject to the control of such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any such judicial or administrative proceedings: (A) while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (B) if such proceedings will involve any risk of criminal liability or a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of any part of the Collateral; or (C) to the extent that the Indemnitee has defenses available to it which are not available to the Borrower and allowing the Borrower to assert such defenses will be prejudicial to the interests of such Indemnitee; provided that the limitation on the Borrowers’ ability to control such judicial or administrative proceeding shall apply only to those aspects of such proceeding which address issues with respect to which such defenses are available.
The relevant Indemnitee shall supply the Borrower with such information reasonably requested by the Borrower as is necessary or advisable for either Facility Party to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 11.05. Such Indemnitee shall not enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any covered claim without the prior written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be protected with respect to such covered claim.
SECTION 11.06 Successors and Assigns.
(a)    Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided that no Facility Party may assign or transfer any of its interests and obligations without the prior written consent of either the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as the terms set forth in Section 11.03 may require;
(b)    Assignments. Any Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Loans and its Commitments); provided, however, that:
(i)    each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee who, unless otherwise consented to by the Borrower, is not a Competitor of the Borrower;
(ii)    except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, if such assignment is made to an Affiliate of an existing Lender or any Approved Fund or otherwise to another member of the related Lending Group (A) the aggregate amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not, without the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, be less than
    113

$25,000,000 and an integral multiple of $5,000,000 (or such other amount as shall equal the assigning Lender’s entire Commitment) and (B) after giving effect to such assignment, unless otherwise consented to by the Borrower, the aggregate amount of the Commitment and/or Loans of the assigning Lender shall not be less than $2,500,000 (unless the assigning Lender shall have assigned its entire Commitment and/or the entire balance of the outstanding Loans);
(iii)    the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent for its acceptance an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit C, together with any Note subject to such assignment and a processing fee of $3,500, payable or agreed between the assigning Lender and the assignee;
(iv)    notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Managing Lending Agent may, at any time, upon notice to the Agent with a copy to the Registrar but without the need to comply with the restriction set forth in clause (iii) above or the need to enter into an Assignment and Acceptance, (A) replace an existing Lender in such Managing Lending Agent’s Lending Group with any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender, (B) add any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender as a new Lender in such Managing Lending Agent’s Lending Group, (C) remove a Lender from such Managing Lending Agent’s Lending Group or (D) reallocate or assign Commitment Percentages or advances among the Lenders in such Managing Lending Agent’s Lending Group; provided, however, that Apollo Global Management, Inc. and its Affiliates (other than Atlas, its subsidiaries and any entity or account administered, advised, sub-advised, serviced or managed by Atlas or its subsidiaries (the “Atlas Entities”)) (the “Apollo Entities”), and any entity (other than any Atlas Entity) that an Apollo Entity administers, advises, sub-advises, services or manages shall be excluded from the provisions of this clause (iv). Upon receipt of such notice the Agent shall update Schedule 1.01 hereto; and
(v)    so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any such assignment to an Apollo Entity shall be subject to the consent of the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
provided further, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with clause (iii) above.
(c)    Assignment and Acceptance. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance in accordance with this Section 11.06, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and the assignee warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) except as set forth in clause (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or the financial condition of the Facility Parties or the performance or observance by any Facility Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such assignment agreement; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the most

Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each of the Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document as are delegated to each of the Agent and the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender. Upon execution, delivery, and acceptance of such Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of such assignment, have the obligations, rights, and benefits of a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.06(c), the assignor, the Agent and the Facility Parties shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new Notes are issued to the assignor and the assignee. In addition, the assignee shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of Taxes in accordance with Section 3.01.
(d)    Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Agent to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 11.06(d), to (i) maintain a register (the “Register”) on which the Agent will record the Commitments from time to time of each Lender, the Loans made by each Lender and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender and to (ii) retain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to the Agent pursuant to this Section 11.06. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligation in respect of such Loans. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent, the Lenders and each Managing Lending Agent shall treat each Person in whose name a Loan and the Note evidencing the same is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice or any provision herein to the contrary. With respect to any Lender, the assignment or other transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made and any Note issued pursuant to this Agreement shall not be effective until such assignment or other transfer is recorded on the Register and, except to the extent provided in this Section 11.06(d), otherwise complies with Section 11.06, and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferring Lender with respect to such Commitments, Loans and Notes shall remain owing to the transferring Lender. The registration of assignment or other transfer of all or part of any Commitments, Loans and Notes for a Lender shall be recorded by the Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the administrative fee referred to in Section 11.06(b)(iii). The Register shall be available at the offices where kept by the Agent for inspection by the Borrower, any Lender and any Managing Lending Agent at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent. In addition to such inspection rights, upon request of any Lender, the Agent will provide to such Lender an electronic copy of the Register, together with a current copy of Schedule 11.01 hereto.
(e)    Participations. Each Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to one or more Persons in all or a portion of its rights, obligations or rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Loans owing to it and any Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s
    115    
Warehouse Loan Agreement

obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participant shall be entitled to the benefit of right of setoff contained in Section 11.08 and the yield protection provisions contained in Sections 3.01, 3.03 and 3.04 to the same extent that the Lender from which such participant acquired its participation would be entitled to the benefits of such yield protections; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse any participant pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.03 or 3.04 in an amount which exceeds the amount that would have been payable thereunder to such Lender had such Lender not sold such participation and (iv) the Facility Parties, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Facility Parties relating to the Obligations owing to such Lender and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on such Loans or Notes, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on such Loans or Notes or extending its Commitment). Each Lender (or its related Managing Lending Agent on its behalf) that sells a participating interest in any Loan, Commitment or other interest to a participant shall, as agent of the Borrower solely for the purpose of this Section 11.06(e), maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in any Loan, Commitment or other interest (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Loans, Commitments or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan, Commitment or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(f)    Other Assignments. Any Lender may at any time (i) assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Loans or Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank, (ii) pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Loans or Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender and (iii) grant to a Conduit Lender referred to in subsection (h) below identified as such in writing from time to time by such Lender to the Agent and the Borrower the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loans that such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that no such assignment, option, pledge or security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Federal Reserve Bank or other person to which such option, pledge or assignment has been made for such Lender as a party hereto.
(g)    Information. Any Lender may furnish any information concerning any Facility Party in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 11.07.
(h)    Conduit Lenders, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Committed Lender, (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a conduit lender, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender (or by its Managing Lending Agent on its behalf) to the Agent and the Borrower (a “Conduit Lender”) the option to fund all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to fund
    116    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any Conduit Lender to fund any Loan and (ii) if a Conduit Lender elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to fund all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The funding of a Loan by a Conduit Lender hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent that, and as if, such Loan were funded by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no Conduit Lender shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable for so long as, and to the extent, the Granting Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Conduit Lender may disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer, or investors, or provider of any surety or guarantee to such Conduit Lender. This subsection (h) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Loan is being funded by a Conduit Lender at the time of such amendment. Each Conduit Lender shall be permitted, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, to assign any or all of its interests or obligations under this Agreement to its liquidity provider pursuant to the terms of the related liquidity asset purchase agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt, such assignment shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 11.06(b); provided, however, that (i) such Conduit Lender’s related Granting Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged and (ii) such Granting Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations.
(i)    Lending Group and Managing Lending Agent. Each Lending Group hereunder, may from time to time, appoint a Managing Lending Agent, to act on its behalf with respect to this Agreement and any other Loan Document. The ASPH Lending Group hereby appoints Atlas as its Managing Lending Agent. Atlas hereby accepts such appointment as Managing Lending Agent for the ASPH Lending Group and Atlas, in acting in such capacity, shall be referred to as the “ASPH Managing Lending Agent.”
SECTION 11.07 Confidentiality. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.06(h), each of the Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors and its insurers, reinsurers and brokers and each of their respective Affiliates (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority with jurisdiction over the Agent, the Collateral Agent or Lender, as applicable; (iii) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (iv) to any other party to this Agreement; (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.07, to (A) any Eligible Assignee of or participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (B) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrower or (C) any Support Party or any managing agent of a Lender that is a commercial paper conduit; (vii) with the written consent of the Borrower; (viii) to the extent such information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.07 or (B) becomes available to the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; (ix) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s or its Affiliates’ investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or
    117    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


its Affiliates; or (x) to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network if such Information is required under the Corporate Transparency Act. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, at no time shall Information be disclosed to any Competitor of the Borrower; provided that no Apollo Entity (other than an Apollo Entity meeting the criteria described in clause (i) of the definition of “Competitor of the Borrower”) shall be deemed to be a Competitor of the Borrower for purposes of this Section 11.07. For the purposes of this Section 11.07, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of any Facility Party relating to any Facility Party or its respective business, other than any such information that is available to the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by or on behalf of a Facility Party; provided that, in the case of information received from or on behalf of a Facility Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.07 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
SECTION 11.08 Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender (and each of its Affiliates) is authorized at any time and from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (all of such rights being hereby expressly waived), to set-off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or specific) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, branches, agencies or Affiliates of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder, under the Loans and Notes, under the other Loan Documents or otherwise, irrespective of whether the Agent or the Lenders shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured, and any such set-off shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default even though such charge is made or entered on the books of such Lender subsequent thereto. The Borrower hereby agrees that to the extent permitted by law any Person purchasing a participation in the Loans and Commitments hereunder may exercise all rights of set-off with respect to its participation interest as fully as if such Person were a Lender hereunder and any such set-off shall reduce the amount owed by the Borrower to the Lender.
SECTION 11.09 Interest Rate Limitation. The Agent, the Lenders and the Facility Parties and any other parties to the Loan Documents intend to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof such Persons stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by Applicable Law from time to time in effect. Neither any Facility Party nor any present or future guarantors, endorsers, or other Persons hereafter becoming liable for payment of any Credit Obligation shall ever be liable for unearned interest thereon or shall ever be required to pay interest thereon in excess of the maximum amount that may be lawfully charged under Applicable Law from time to time in effect, and the provisions of this Section 11.09 shall control over all other provisions of the Loan Documents which may be in conflict or apparent conflict herewith. The Lenders and the Agent expressly disavow any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of any Credit Obligation is accelerated. If (i) the maturity of any Credit Obligation is accelerated for any reason, (ii) any Credit Obligation is prepaid and as a result any amounts held to constitute interest are determined to be in excess of the legal maximum, or (iii) any Lender of any other holder of any or all of the Credit Obligations shall otherwise collect moneys which are determined to constitute interest which would otherwise
    118    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


increase the interest on any or all of the Credit Obligations to an amount in excess of that permitted to be charged by Applicable Law then in effect, then all sums determined to constitute interest in excess of such legal limit shall, without penalty, be promptly applied to reduce the then outstanding principal of the related Credit Obligations or, at such Lender’s or holder’s option, promptly returned to the Borrower or the other payor thereof upon such determination. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific circumstance, exceeds the maximum amount permitted under Applicable Law, the Agent, the Lenders and the Facility Parties (and any other payors thereof) shall to the greatest extent permitted under Applicable Law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the instruments evidencing the Credit Obligations in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time to time thereunder and the maximum legal rate of interest from time to time in effect under Applicable Law in order to lawfully charge the maximum amount of interest permitted under Applicable Law. In the event Applicable Law provides for an interest ceiling under Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code (the “Texas Finance Code”) as amended, for that day, the ceiling shall be the “weekly ceiling” as defined in the Texas Finance Code; provided that if any Applicable Law permits greater interest, the Applicable Law permitting the greatest interest shall apply. As used in this Section 11.09 the term “Applicable Law” includes, without limitation the laws of the State of Texas, the laws of the State of New York or the laws of the United States of America, whichever laws allow the greatest interest, as such laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.
SECTION 11.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.
SECTION 11.11 Integration. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
SECTION 11.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof and any subsequent making or deemed making thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
SECTION 11.13 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which any Facility Party is a party that is prohibited or unenforceable in any
    119    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 11.14 Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.
SECTION 11.15 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary, or any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary (or to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders or the Collateral Agent or the Depositary for the benefit of the Protected Parties), or the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Depositary enforces any security interests or exercises its rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.
SECTION 11.16 Performance by the Agent. If any Facility Party fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Management Document in a timely fashion, the Agent shall be entitled, but not obliged, to perform such obligation at the expense of the Borrower and without waiving any rights that it may have with respect to such breach.
SECTION 11.17 Third Party Beneficiaries. Each Protected Party, including without limitation each Support Party, is an express third party beneficiary hereof.
SECTION 11.18 No Proceedings. (a) Each party hereto hereby agrees that it will not institute against any Conduit Lender, or join any other Person in instituting against any Conduit Lender, any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, liquidation or similar proceeding from the Closing Date until one year plus one day following the last day on which all commercial paper notes and other publicly or privately placed indebtedness for borrowed money of such Conduit Lender together with all related derivative or other hedging obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full.
(b)    No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of Conduit Lender as contained in any Loan Document shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, Affiliate, officer, employee or director of the Conduit Lender, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the agreements of each Conduit Lender contained in any Loan Document are solely corporate obligations of such Conduit Lender and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to or be incurred by the incorporators, stockholders, Affiliates, officers, employees or directors of such Conduit Lender, under or by reason of any of the respective obligations, covenants or agreements of such Conduit Lender contained in any Loan Document, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability of every such incorporator, stockholder, Affiliate, officer, employee or director of such Conduit Lender for breaches by such Conduit Lender of any such obligation, covenant or agreement, which liability may arise either at common law or in equity, by statute or constitution, or otherwise, is
    120    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Lender shall have any obligation to pay any amount required to be paid by it hereunder or thereunder to any party hereto, in excess of any amount available to such Conduit Lender after paying or making provision for the payment of its commercial paper notes. All payment obligations of each Conduit Lender hereunder are contingent upon the availability of funds in excess of the amounts necessary to pay commercial paper notes; and each of the parties hereto agree that they shall not have a claim under Section 101(5) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar law in any other jurisdiction if and to the extent that any such payment obligation exceeds the amount available to such Conduit Lender to pay such amounts after paying or making provision for the payment of its commercial paper notes and its other publicly or privately placed indebtedness and all related derivative or other hedging obligations to or on which such Conduit Lender is an express party.
(d)    The provisions of this Section 11.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 11.19 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK). Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving tri-party accounts) does not apply to this Agreement or to any other Loan Document. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York in New York County, or of the United States for the Southern District of New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Facility Party hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditional, the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts. Each Facility Party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
SECTION 11.20 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 11.20 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
SECTION 11.21 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective at such time when it shall have been executed by the Facility Parties, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary and the Agent, and the Agent shall have received copies hereof which, when taken together, bear the
    121    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


signatures of each Committed Lender, and thereafter this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Facility Parties, the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns. For the avoidance of doubt, any amendment or amendment and restatement of this Agreement is not intended to be and should not be construed as a novation of any of the obligations of any Facility Party in existence on the date of such amendment or amendment and restatement.
SECTION 11.22 The Patriot Act. The Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act and any comparable law applicable to any Lender, 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 Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary and/or any Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.
SECTION 11.23 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
SECTION 11.24 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Derivatives Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
(a)     In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any
    122    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b)    As used in this Section 11.24, the following terms have the following meanings:
BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(ii)    a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or
(iii)    a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
SECTION 11.25 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) (i) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the Agent or any Lender is intended to be or has been created in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Agent or any Lender has advised or is advising the Borrower or any Subsidiary on other matters, (ii) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agent and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, (iii) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent that it has deemed appropriate and (iv) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; and (b) (i) the Agent and the Lenders each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person; (ii) none of the Agent and the Lenders has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth
    123    
Warehouse Loan Agreement
762040188


herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Agent and the Lenders and their respective branches and Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Agent and the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against any of the Agent and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
