Article 2

THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

Section 2.1 The Loan.

(a) Revolving Credit Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make one or more revolving credit loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Credit Loan”) to Borrower from time to time from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount for such Revolving Credit Lender at any time outstanding up to but not exceeding the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that the Revolving Credit Exposure of all Revolving Credit Lenders shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders and (ii) the Borrowing Base; provided further that the sum of the Servicing Advances Receivables RC Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Servicing Advances Receivables Sublimit. Subject to the foregoing limitations and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Credit Loans hereunder.

(b) Borrowing Procedure. Each Revolving Credit Borrowing (subject to the then aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments) shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day before the requested date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing. Each telephonic notice by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Administrative Agent of a written Revolving Credit Borrowing Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower. Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be in a principal amount of [***] or a whole multiple of [***] in excess thereof; provided that such Revolving Credit Borrowing may be in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Availability. Each Revolving Credit Borrowing Request (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) the requested date of the Revolving Credit Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), and (ii) the principal amount to be borrowed.

(c) Funding. Following receipt of a Revolving Credit Borrowing Request, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the Loan and the requested date of the Revolving Credit Borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to Administrative Agent in immediately available

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 33

funds at Administrative Agent’s Principal Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Revolving Credit Borrowing Request. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (and, if such Revolving Credit Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 5.1), Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to Borrower in like funds as received by Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of Borrower on the books of Texas Capital Bank with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Administrative Agent by Borrower.

(d) Renewal; Term-Out.

(i) Not earlier than [***], and not later than [***], before the then-effective stated Maturity Date, Borrower may elect by notice to Administrative Agent that the Revolving Credit Loans be converted on the Maturity Date to an amortizing closed end term loan (the “Converted Term Loan”) due and payable in monthly installments of [***] of the principal balance of the Notes on such conversion date, plus interest accrued to and unpaid on the due date of each monthly installment at the applicable interest rate under the Notes (such monthly installment amount, the “Term Installment Amount), with final payment due [***] after such conversion date without notice or demand, both of which Borrower hereby waives. If Borrower timely elects such conversion and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Maturity Date, the Revolving Credit Loans shall be converted automatically on the Maturity Date to the Converted Term Loan. Borrower shall not be entitled to any more Revolving Credit Borrowings after such conversion. If a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Maturity Date, such conversion shall not occur and the entire unpaid balance of principal and accrued interest on the Notes shall be due and payable without notice or demand on the Maturity Date.

(ii) If Borrower does not timely elect such conversion, provided that, and only so long as, there is no Default or Event of Default hereunder, Borrower shall have a period of [***] (the “Term-Out Period”) from the Maturity Date in which to pay off the Loan; provided that Borrower shall not be entitled to any more Revolving Credit Borrowings after the Maturity Date and Borrower shall pay monthly installments of principal and interest, each in an amount equal to the Term Installment Amount, on each monthly Payment Date during the Term-Out Period; and provided further that at the end of the [***] following the Maturity Date, the entire unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes shall be finally due and payable without notice or demand, both of which Borrower hereby waives. If a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Maturity Date, such conversion shall not occur and the entire unpaid balance of principal and accrued interest on the Notes shall be due and payable without notice or demand on the Maturity Date.

(iii) In either of the cases described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, all payments on, and any prepayments of, the Notes shall be applied first to accrued interest, next to the principal installment due on or next after the date of payment and the balance to the remaining principal installments in inverse order of maturity.

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 34

Section 2.2 Fees.

(a) Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent and Arranger, for the account of Administrative Agent, Arranger and each Lender, as applicable, fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the Fee Letter.

(b) Commitment Fee. Borrower agrees to pay the Commitment Fee to Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance, subject to Section 12.24, with such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage. The Commitment Fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each April, July, October and January during the term of this Agreement and on the Maturity Date.

Section 2.3 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than Protective Advances) shall be made to Administrative Agent for the account of Administrative Agent or the pro rata accounts of the applicable Lenders, as applicable, at the Principal Office, in Dollars and immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, and free and clear of all taxes at the time and in the manner provided herein. Payments by check or draft shall not constitute payment in immediately available funds until the required amount is actually received by Administrative Agent in full. Payments in immediately available funds received by Administrative Agent in the place designated for payment on a Business Day before 11:00 a.m. at such place of payment shall be credited before the close of business on the Business Day received, while payments received by Administrative Agent on a day other than a Business Day or after 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day will be credited on the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment of principal or interest on the Notes shall become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any such extension of time for payment shall be included in computing interest that has accrued, and that interest shall be due and payable in connection with such payment. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge any account or accounts of Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent that is not a Servicer’s Deposit Account for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder and shall give notice to Borrower of any such charge.

(b) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender, that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of a Revolving Credit Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with this Agreement and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Revolving Credit Borrowing available to Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 35

banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the applicable Revolving Credit Borrowing. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving Credit Borrowing to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent.

(c) Payments by Borrower; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower before the date when any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each applicable Lender severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(d) Protective Advances. Lenders reserve the right, but disclaim the obligation, to make Protective Advances to an Agency or any other party as Administrative Agent deems necessary or appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion, to preserve the Lenders’ rights and interests under an Acknowledgment Agreement. Upon Administrative Agent’s demand, each Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent forthwith its Applicable Percentage of such Protective Advance, subject to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and such amounts shall be deemed to be Advances hereunder. In the event that, due to the limitation of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, Administrative Agent or any Protective Advance-funding Lender is not fully reimbursed for the amount of its Protective Advance, the unreimbursed portion of such Protective Advance (the “Outstanding Protective Advance”) shall bear interest at the interest rate applicable under the Revolving Note and shall be repaid to Administrative Agent or such funding Lender, as applicable, as a first priority out of subsequent payments or prepayments made hereunder.

Section 2.4 Evidence of Debt. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business; provided that such Loans shall also be evidenced by such Lender’s Note, whether or not any notations regarding such Loans are made on such Note. The accounts or records maintained by Administrative Agent, and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 36

any Lender and the accounts and records of Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.5 Interest; Payment Terms.

(a) Revolving Credit Loans — Payment of Principal and Interest; Revolving Nature. Subject to the following sentence and Section 2.5(f), the unpaid principal amount of each of the Revolving Credit Loans shall bear interest at the applicable Interest Rate. If at any time such rate of interest would exceed the Maximum Rate but for the provisions thereof limiting interest to the Maximum Rate, then any subsequent reduction shall not reduce the rate of interest on the Revolving Credit Loans below the Maximum Rate until (i) the aggregate amount of interest accrued on the Revolving Credit Loans equals the aggregate amount of interest that would have accrued on the Revolving Credit Loans if the interest rate had not been limited by the Maximum Rate or (ii) all principal of and interest accrued to the date of final payment on the Revolving Credit Loans shall have been fully paid and satisfied. All accrued but unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be due and payable on each Payment Date and on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility, provided that interest accruing at the Default Interest Rate pursuant to Section 2.5(f) shall be payable on demand. Subject to Section 2.1(d), the then Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility. The unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans at any time shall be the total amount advanced hereunder by Revolving Credit Lenders less the amount of principal payments made thereon by or for Borrower, which balance may be endorsed on the Revolving Credit Notes from time to time by Revolving Credit Lenders or otherwise noted in Revolving Credit Lenders’ and/or Administrative Agent’s records, which notations shall be, absent manifest error, conclusive evidence of the amounts owing hereunder from time to time.

(b) Application. Except as expressly provided herein (specifically including the provisions of Section 10.3) to the contrary, all payments on the Obligations under the Loan Documents shall be applied in the following order of priority: to (i) the payment or reimbursement of any expenses, costs or obligations (other than the Outstanding Amount thereof and interest thereon) for which Borrower shall be obligated or Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents, including all Outstanding Protective Advances; (ii) the payment of accrued but unpaid interest and (iii) subject to the last sentence of Section 2.1(d), the payment of all or any portion of the principal balance then outstanding hereunder as directed by Borrower. If an Event of Default exists under this Agreement, the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents, any such payment shall be applied as provided in Section 10.3.

(c) Computation Period. Interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder on a per annum basis shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). In computing the number of days during which interest accrues, the day when funds are initially advanced shall be included regardless of the time of day such advance is made, and the day when funds are repaid shall be included unless repayment is credited before the close of business on the Business Day received. Each determination by Administrative Agent of an

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 37

interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Unconditional Payment. Borrower is and shall be obligated to pay all principal, interest and any and all other amounts that become payable under any of the Loan Documents absolutely and unconditionally and without any abatement, postponement, diminution or deduction whatsoever and without any reduction for counterclaim or setoff whatsoever. If at any time any payment received by Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under any Debtor Relief Law, then the obligation to make such payment shall survive any cancellation or satisfaction of the Obligations under the Loan Documents and shall not be discharged or satisfied with any prior payment thereof or cancellation of such Obligations, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and such payment shall be immediately due and payable upon demand.

(e) Partial or Incomplete Payments. Remittances in payment of any part of the Obligations under the Loan Documents other than in the required amount in immediately available funds at the place where such Obligations are payable shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by Administrative Agent in full in accordance herewith, and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practice of the collecting bank or banks. Acceptance by Administrative Agent of any payment in an amount less than the full amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and the failure to pay the entire amount then due shall be and continue to be an Event of Default.

(f) Default Interest Rate. For so long as any Event of Default exists, regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of the Loans, and at all times after the maturity of the Loans (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and in addition to all other rights and remedies of Administrative Agent or Lenders hereunder, interest shall accrue on any past due amount at the Default Interest Rate, and such accrued interest shall be immediately due and payable. Borrower acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ actual damages resulting from any late payment or Event of Default, and such accrued interest is a reasonable estimate of those damages and does not constitute a penalty.

Section 2.6 Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments; Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. Borrower may, upon written notice to Administrative Agent, terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. [***] prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of [***] or any whole multiple of [***] in excess thereof, and (iii) Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 38

effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Revolving Credit Exposure of all Revolving Credit Lenders would exceed the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments so reduced or terminated, and (y) the Borrowing Base. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Revolving Credit Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments. Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

(b) Voluntary Prepayments. Subject to the conditions set forth below, Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time upon at least [***] prior written notice to Administrative Agent, to prepay the principal of the Revolving Credit Loans in full or in part. If there is a prepayment of all or any portion of the principal of the Revolving Credit Loans on or before the Maturity Date for such Loans, whether voluntary or because of acceleration or otherwise, such prepayment shall also include any and all accrued but unpaid interest on the amount of principal being so prepaid through and including the date of prepayment, plus any other sums that have become due to Lenders under the other Loan Documents on or before the date of prepayment, but that have not been fully paid.

(i) If at any time, whether before or after conversion, if any, of the Revolving Credit Loans to the Converted Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(i) or commencement of the Term-Out Period, if any, pursuant to
Section 2.1(d)(ii), the Revolving Credit Exposure of the Revolving Credit Lenders exceeds the Borrowing Base then in effect, then Borrower shall immediately prepay the entire amount of such excess to Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of Revolving Credit Lenders.

(ii) If after giving effect to any Disposition permitted by Section 8.10, the Revolving Credit Exposure of the Revolving Credit Lenders will exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect, then concurrently with such Disposition, Borrower shall apply the cash proceeds of such Disposition, and pay such additional cash (if any) as shall be required, to immediately prepay the entire amount of such excess to Administrative Agent, for the ratable accounts of Revolving Credit Lenders. Administrative Agent may require, in its sole discretion, that the purchaser or transferee pay such excess to Administrative Agent directly.

(iii) If at any time the sum of the Servicing Advances Receivables RC Loans outstanding exceeds the Servicing Advances Receivables Sublimit, then Borrower shall immediately prepay the entire amount of such excess to Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of Revolving Credit Lenders.

Section 2.7 Uncommitted Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), (i) Borrower may from time to time before the Maturity Date request an increase in the aggregate Revolving Credit

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 39

Commitments to an amount not to exceed [***]; provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of [***] or such other amount as Administrative Agent may otherwise agree in writing. At the time of sending such notice, Borrower (in consultation with Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Revolving Credit Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than [***] from the date of delivery of such notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders).

(b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall notify Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase. Any Revolving Credit Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment.

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Revolving Credit Lenders. Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and each Lender of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ responses to each request made under this Section 2.7. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), Borrower or Lender may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Revolving Credit Lenders. If such additional Eligible Assignee commits to become a Revolving Credit Lender, (i) in addition to satisfying the conditions of Section 2.7(e), Borrower shall execute a Revolving Credit Note in favor of such Eligible Assignee in the amount of such Eligible Assignee’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and (ii) such Eligible Assignee shall execute this Agreement, an acknowledgment of the terms and conditions hereof, and any such other acknowledgments and agreements as Administrative Agent may require, all in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and its counsel.

(d) Increase Effective Date and Allocations. If the Revolving Credit Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section 2.7, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, (i) Borrower shall execute a Revolving Credit Note in favor of each Revolving Credit Lender which has agreed to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment as affected by such increase, and (ii) Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of each Obligated Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Obligated Party (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Obligated Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (y) in the case of Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article 6 and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.7, the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.2 shall be deemed

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 40

to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 7.1(a) and Section 7.1(b), respectively, and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists. Borrower shall prepay any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.7.

(f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section 2.7 shall supersede and control over any conflicting or inconsistent provisions of Section 12.25 or Section 12.12.

Article 3

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND INDEMNITY

Section 3.1 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital or Liquidity Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s and its holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 41

or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 3.1(a) or Section 3.1(b) and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.1 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than [***] prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the [***] period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 3.2 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.2, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payment Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.2) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.2) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 42

the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.9 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative 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 Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative 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 Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section 3.2(e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.2, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two (2) sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.2(g)(ii)(A), Section 3.2(g)(ii)(B) and Section 3.2(g)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person:

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 43

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, if applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 [Omitted pursuant to Item 601(a)(5) of Regulation S-K] to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, if applicable); or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN (or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, if applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 [Omitted pursuant to Item 601(a)(5) of Regulation S-K] or Exhibit F-3 [Omitted pursuant to Item 601(a)(5) of Regulation S-K], IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 [Omitted pursuant to Item 601(a)(5) of Regulation S-K] on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 44

completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.2(g)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.2 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.2), 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 3.2 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 Section 3.2(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 Section 3.2(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.2(h) that 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 Section 3.2(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.2 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 45

Section 3.3 Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.1, or requires Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.2, then such Lender shall (at the request of Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.1, or if Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.2 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.3(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.9), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 12.9;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the Outstanding Amount of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.2) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.2, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 46

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 3.4 Survival. All of Borrower’s obligations under this Article 3 shall survive termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of Administrative Agent.

Section 3.5 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any law or regulation has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Revolving Credit Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay all Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Revolving Credit Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Revolving Credit Loans. Upon any such prepayment, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid.

Section 3.6 Inability to Determine Rates.

(a) Subject to clause (b) below, if (i) Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason that (A) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the Interest Period, (B) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period, (C) the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurodollar Rate Portion, (D) ICE has ceased to calculate the Eurodollar Rate, or (E) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Portion or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Portion does not accurately reflect the rate available to the Lenders in the London interbank market, or (ii) (without duplication of Section 3.1) by reason of any Change in Law any Lender would become subject to restrictions on the amount of a category of liabilities or assets which it may hold and notifies Administrative Agent of same, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended, in each case until Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice or a Replacement Rate and replacement benchmark spread has been established pursuant to Section 3.6(b).

(b) If at any time Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) any of the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) or clause (a)(ii) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) any of the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) or clause (a)(ii) have not arisen but (x) ICE or the

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 47

Alternative Reference Rates Committee convened by the Board of Governors has announced a commercial loan index as an alternative to the Eurodollar Rate and commercial banks in the United States are using such alternative loan index for new commercial loans, (y) the Eurodollar Rate is no longer being widely used by commercial banks as a loan index in the United States for new commercial loans similar to the Facility, or (z) a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurodollar Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for new commercial loans originated in the United States, then Administrative Agent may, to the extent practicable (in consultation with Borrower and as determined by Administrative Agent to be generally in accordance with similar situations in other transactions in which it is serving as administrative agent or otherwise consistent with market practice), establish a replacement interest rate (the “Replacement Rate” provided that, if the Replacement Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero for purposes of this Agreement) and a replacement benchmark spread, and Borrower and Administrative Agent shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such Replacement Rate and replacement benchmark spread or such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.12, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

Section 3.7 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent) from time to time, Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, payment or prepayment of any Revolving Credit Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

(b) any failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to lend a Revolving Credit Loan) to prepay, borrow, or continue any Revolving Credit Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of a Revolving Credit Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.3(b);

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.7, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Revolving Credit Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 48

interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Revolving Credit Loan was in fact so funded.

Article 4

SECURITY

Section 4.1 Collateral. To secure full and complete payment and performance of the Obligations, Borrower (i) hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Administrative Agent, for its benefit and that of the Lenders, a continuing first priority security interest, subject to the limitations set forth in any Acknowledgment Agreement in favor of the relevant Agency relating to any part of the Collateral, in all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Collateral, and (ii) shall, and shall cause the other Obligated Parties to, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all of the Security Documents required by Administrative Agent covering the Collateral. Borrower shall execute and cause to be executed such further documents and instruments, including UCC financing statements, as Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to create, evidence, preserve and perfect its liens and security interests in the Collateral and maintain the priority thereof as required by the Loan Documents.

Section 4.2 Setoff. If an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent and each Lender shall have the right to set off against the Obligations under the Loan Documents, at any time and without notice to Borrower, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) or other sums at any time credited by or owing from Administrative Agent or such Lender to Borrower whether or not the Obligations under the Loan Documents are then due; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.24 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders, and (b) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations under the Loan Documents owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each amount set off shall be paid to Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations under the Loan Documents in the order set forth in Section 10.3. Administrative Agent and Lenders each agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify Borrower of each exercise by such party of such right of setoff, but shall incur no liability for any failure to do so. As further security for the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent and each Lender a security interest in all money, instruments and other Property of Borrower now or hereafter held by Administrative Agent or such Lender, including Property held in safekeeping, but excluding in all cases, each Servicer’s Deposit Accounts. In addition to Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s right of setoff and as further security for the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent and each Lender a security interest in all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and other accounts of Borrower now or hereafter on deposit with or held by Administrative Agent or such Lender and all other sums at any time credited by or owing from Administrative Agent or such Lender to Borrower, excluding in all cases, each Servicer’s Deposit Accounts. The rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and each Lender hereunder are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Administrative Agent or such Lender may have.

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 49

Section 4.3 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Subject to any limitations set forth in any Acknowledgment Agreement in favor of an Agency relating to any part of the Collateral, Borrower and each other Obligated Party that has granted a security interest in connection herewith authorizes Administrative Agent to complete and file, from time to time, financing statements naming Borrower or such other Obligated Party, as applicable, as debtor.

Section 4.4 Subordination of Landlord Liens. If, at any time during the term of the Loan, Borrower performs in-house the servicing of any Serviced Ginnie Mae Loan (as opposed to such servicing being outsourced and performed by a subservicer) on or from leased premises, Borrower shall give Administrative Agent Notice of the location of such leased premises and the landlord’s contact information and, upon Administrative Agent’s request, shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause the landlord under each Lease of premises where Borrower administers or maintains its servicing records to execute and deliver to Administrative Agent a Landlord’s Lien Subordination Agreement to allow Administrative Agent, subject to the terms of the Acknowledgment Agreement, access to, and the use and right to possession of, such servicing records following the occurrence of any Event of Default.

Section 4.5 Market Value; Servicing Advances Receivables BB Component; Acknowledgment Agreements. Serviced Ginnie Mae Loans will be deemed to have a market value of zero for purposes of determining the Borrowing Base until the date on which an Acknowledgment Agreement has been executed and delivered by Borrower, Administrative Agent and Ginnie Mae; provided that Administrative Agent may waive such requirement in its sole and absolute discretion. The Servicing Advances Receivables BB Component shall be deemed zero, and Borrower’s outstanding Servicing Advances Receivables shall be excluded from any calculation of the Borrowing Base, until such time Administrative Agent receives written notification from Ginnie Mae of its approval of the inclusion of the Servicing Advances Receivables BB Component in calculating the Borrowing Base (of which Administrative Agent will reasonably promptly notify Borrower and Lenders).

Section 4.6 Periodic Valuations of Servicing Rights. The value of all Pledged Servicing Rights to Administrative Agent shall be periodically determined as provided in Section 7.1(m), and the Borrowing Base shall be adjusted to reflect each such determination and updating of the value of such Collateral; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall have the right, exercisable from time to time (daily or less often) in its sole discretion on any day after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default to mark the Pledged Servicing Rights to market, whereupon, for purposes of determining the value of the Collateral for that day (and for each day thereafter until it shall thereafter be evaluated or re-evaluated by such an approved appraiser or broker or again marked to market by Administrative Agent) such Pledged Servicing Rights shall be equal to [***] of its market value on that day (which the parties acknowledge may be nominal). Borrower acknowledges that a determination by Administrative Agent of market value pursuant to this Agreement is for the limited purpose of determining value of the Collateral for lending purposes under this Agreement without the ability to perform customary purchaser’s due diligence and is not necessarily equivalent to a determination of the fair market value of Collateral achieved by obtaining competing bids in an orderly market in which the servicer is not in default, insolvent or the subject of a case in bankruptcy and the bidders have adequate opportunity to perform customary diligence.

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 50

Section 4.7 Ginnie Mae Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, the pledge of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in mortgage servicing rights under Servicing Agreements with Ginnie Mae shall only secure the Borrower’s indebtedness and obligations to Administrative Agent and each Lender incurred for the purposes of funding the purchase of additional mortgage servicing portfolios. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders each acknowledges and agrees that (x) Borrower is entitled to servicing income with respect to a given mortgage pool only so long as Borrower is an issuer in good standing pursuant to Ginnie Mae rules, regulations, guides and similar announcements; (y) upon Borrower’s loss of such good-standing issuer status, Administrative Agent’s rights to any servicing income related to a given mortgage pool also terminate; and (z) the pledge of Borrower’s rights to servicing income related to a given mortgage pool conveys no rights (such as a right to become a substitute servicer or issuer) except to the extent of such rights specifically provided for in the rules, regulations, guides or similar announcements by Ginnie Mae, provided that this clause (z) shall automatically be deemed amended or modified if and to the extent Ginnie Mae amends the corresponding requirement, whether in its rules, regulations, guides, Servicing Agreements or published announcements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the security interest created by this Agreement is subject to the following provision, which provision shall also be included in each financing statement filed in respect hereof:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(1) The property subject to the security interest reflected in this instrument includes all of the right, title and interest of the Debtor in certain mortgages and/or participation interests related to such mortgages (“Pooled Mortgages”) and pooled under the mortgage-backed securities program of the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), pursuant to section 306(g) of the National Housing Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1721(g);

(2) To the extent that the security interest reflected in this instrument relates in any way to the Pooled Mortgages, such security interest is subject and subordinate to all rights, powers and prerogatives of Ginnie Mae, whether now existing or hereafter arising, under and in connection with: (i) 12 U.S.C. § 1721(g) and any implementing regulations; (ii) the terms and conditions of the Acknowledgment Agreement by and among Ginnie Mae, Guild Mortgage Company (the “Debtor”), and Administrative Agent; (iii) applicable Guaranty Agreements and contractual agreements between Ginnie Mae and the Debtor and (iv) the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide, Handbook 5500.3 Rev. 1, and other applicable guides (items (i), (iii), and (iv), collectively, the “Ginnie Mae Contract”);

(3) Such rights, powers and prerogatives of Ginnie Mae include, but are not limited to, Ginnie Mae’s right, by issuing a letter of extinguishment to Debtor, to effect and complete the extinguishment of all redemption, equitable, legal or other right, title or interest of the Debtor in the Pooled Mortgages, in which event the security interest as it relates in any way to the Pooled Mortgages shall instantly and automatically be extinguished as well; and

(4) For purposes of clarification, “subject and subordinate” in clause (2) above means, among other things, that any cash held by the Secured Party as collateral and any cash proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any sale or other disposition of, collection

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 51

from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the collateral may only be applied by the Secured Party to the extent that such proceeds have been received by, or for the account of, the Debtor free and clear of all Ginnie Mae rights and other restrictions on transfer under applicable Ginnie Mae guidelines; provided that this clause (4) shall not be interpreted as establishing rights in favor of Ginnie Mae except to the extent that such rights are reflected in, or arise under, the Ginnie Mae Contract.

Section 4.8 Limited Pledge of Warehoused Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the security interest pledged and granted by Borrower to Administrative Agent under this Agreement does not attach to and expressly excludes any and all Warehoused Mortgage Loans, all ancillary rights, including servicing rights relating to such Warehoused Mortgage Loans, all accounts and rights to proceeds relating to such Warehoused Mortgage Loans, all Hedge Agreements relating to such Warehoused Mortgage Loans, and all purchase agreements related to such Warehoused Mortgage Loans, that are subject to a Warehousing Facility with a warehousing party, during such time, but only for such time, as such Warehoused Mortgage Loans are subject to the Warehousing Facility with such warehousing party.

Article 5

(u) A Servicer Event has occurred;

(v) The Agency exercises its rights under the Acknowledgment Agreement; or

Section 10.2 Remedies Upon Default. Subject to any limitations set forth in any Acknowledgment Agreement in favor of an Agency relating to any part of the Collateral, if any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then Administrative Agent may, with the consent of Required Lenders, or shall, at the direction of Required Lenders, subject to the provisions of Section 10.9, without notice do either or both of the following: (a) terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments of Lenders and/or (b) declare the Obligations under the Loan Documents or any part thereof to be immediately due and payable, and the same shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, without notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 10.1(f) or Section 10.1(g), the Revolving Credit Commitments of Lenders shall automatically terminate and the Obligations under the Loan Documents shall become immediately due and payable, in each case without notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower. Further, any and all rights and remedies in this Article 10 are expressly subject and subordinate to the prior rights of an Agency as to Collateral subject to an Acknowledgment Agreement with such Agency, and in the event the enforcement by Administrative Agent of any of its rights and remedies under this Article 10 could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely conflict with the provisions of the Acknowledgment Agreement with respect to the Collateral subject to the Acknowledgment Agreement, the restrictions imposed under the Acknowledgment Agreement shall control. Subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence, in addition to the foregoing, if any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Administrative Agent may, with the consent of Required Lenders, or shall, at the direction of Required Lenders, subject to the provisions of Section 10.9, exercise all rights and remedies available to it in law or in equity, under the Loan Documents or otherwise, including:

(a) in its discretion, to demand, sue for, collect or receive and receipt for (in its own name, in the name of Borrower or otherwise) any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of any of the Collateral, in consideration of its transfer or in exchange for it;

(b) direct, and to take any and all other steps necessary to cause, any Servicer of any of the Collateral to pay over directly to Administrative Agent for the account of Borrower (instead of to Borrower or any other Person) all sums from time to time due to Borrower and to take any and all other actions that Borrower or Administrative Agent has the right to take under Borrower’s contract with such Servicer;

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 82

(c) direct Borrower to pay over to Administrative Agent all sums from time to time due Borrower under or in respect of the Collateral, including any and all fees and other compensation for servicing the Serviced Ginnie Mae Loans and all amounts paid to or collectable by Borrower to pay Pledged Servicing Receivables, whether paid to Borrower or withheld or recovered by Borrower from collections and realizations on such Mortgage Loans or any other source, and to take any and all other actions that, subject to any restrictions imposed by the relevant Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the party to it on whose behalf the Mortgage Loans are being serviced, Borrower or Administrative Agent has the right to take under that Servicing Agreement, and if Administrative Agent does so request, then Borrower shall diligently and continuously thereafter comply with such request. All amounts so received and collected by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall be applied in the same order and manner as is specified in Section 10.3;

(d) foreclose upon or otherwise enforce its security interest in and Lien on the Collateral, or on such portions or elements of the Collateral as Administrative Agent shall elect to proceed against from time to time;

(e) at Administrative Agent’s option and in its sole discretion, to notify any or all Persons obligated under any or all items of Collateral, that the Collateral has been assigned to Administrative Agent and that all payments thereon are to be made directly to Administrative Agent or such other Person as may be designated by Administrative Agent; settle, compromise or release, in whole or in part, any amounts owing on the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral, on terms acceptable to Administrative Agent; enforce payment and performance and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any and all Collateral; and where any such Collateral is in default, foreclose on and enforce Liens or security interests in, such Collateral by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process and sell property acquired as a result of any such foreclosure;

(f) to the extent permitted by, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Acknowledgment Agreement, act or contract with one or more third Persons to act, as servicer of each item of Collateral requiring servicing and perform all obligations required in connection with any Servicing Agreements to which Borrower is a party, and Borrower hereby agrees to pay such third Persons’ fees to the extent (if any) that Administrative Agent is unable, despite reasonable efforts made by Administrative Agent in light of the necessity that there be no material break in the continuity of servicing, to contract for such servicing and performance of such obligations for fees equal to or less than the fees under such Servicing Agreements;

(g) exercise all rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC, including selling the interests of Borrower in the Collateral at public or private sale. Administrative Agent shall give Borrower not less than ten [***] notice of any such public sale or of the date after which private sale may be held. Borrower agrees that [***] notice shall be reasonable notice. At any such sale any or all of the Collateral may be sold as an entirety or in separate parts, as Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. The Administrative Agent is authorized at any such sale, if Administrative Agent

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 83

deems it advisable so to do, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of any of the Collateral. Borrower specifically agrees that any such sale, whether public or private, of any Collateral pursuant to the commitment of any investor to purchase such Collateral that was obtained by (or with the approval of) Borrower will be commercially reasonable, and if such sale is for the price provided for in such commitment, then such sale shall be held to be for value reasonably equivalent to the value of the Collateral so sold. Upon any such sale, Administrative Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption, stay or appraisal, that Borrower has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Administrative Agent until the selling price is paid by the purchaser, but Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case of such purchaser’s failure to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. The Administrative Agent may, however, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to collect all amounts due upon the Collateral or to foreclose the pledge and sell the Collateral or any portion of it under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, or both. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as Borrower’s waiver of, or agreement to waive, any requirement imposed by applicable law that any sale of the Collateral be commercially reasonable; and

(h) exercise each of the rights and remedies provided to Administrative Agent in any Acknowledgment Agreement, including making cure payments or otherwise advancing funds under and as required under any Acknowledgment Agreement to preserve and retain the Pledged Servicing Rights covered by such Acknowledgment Agreement; provided that as between Administrative Agent and Lenders, Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to advance any funds under and as required under any Acknowledgment Agreement unless and until each Lender shall have delivered to Administrative Agent its pro rata share of such funds required to preserve and retain such Pledged Servicing Rights.

Section 10.3 Rights Relating to Collateral.

(a) Application of Proceeds. Subject to any limitations set forth in any applicable Acknowledgment Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative Agent may at its discretion, in accordance and as provided in the UCC and other applicable law, apply or use any cash held by Administrative Agent as Collateral and any cash proceeds received by Administrative Agent in respect of any sale or other disposition of, collection from or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral and shall apply it in the following manner:

(i) First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to Administrative Agent) payable to Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 84

(ii) Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to Lenders (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders) arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (ii) payable to them;

(iii) Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and other Obligations arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (iii) payable to them;

(iv) Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, ratably among Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (iv) held by them;

(v) Fifth, to payment of the Bank Product Obligations. ratably among the Bank Product Providers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause v held by them; and

(vi) Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to Borrower or as otherwise required by law.

(b) Certain Bank Product Obligations Excluded. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.3(a)(v), Bank Product Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above if Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with supporting documentation as Administrative Agent may request from the applicable Bank Product Provider; provided that no such notice shall be required for any Bank Product Agreement for which Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of Administrative Agent is the applicable Bank Product Provider. Each Bank Product Provider that is not a party to this Agreement that has given notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article 11 for itself and its Affiliates as if it were a “Lender” party hereto.

(c) Pro Rata Shares. In carrying out the provisions of this Section 10.3, each of the Lenders shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the Applicable Percentage of its outstanding amounts in each such Section) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to Section 10.3(a)(ii), Section 10.3(a)(iii) and Section 10.3(a)(iv), and each of the Lenders and Bank Product Providers shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the Applicable Percentage of its outstanding amounts in each such Section) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to Section 10.3(a)(v).

(d) Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral by Administrative Agent are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Administrative Agent and any Lender is legally entitled, Borrower and any Obligated Party shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon as provided in the Loan Documents.

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 85

(e) Non-Judicial Remedies. In granting to Administrative Agent the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, Borrower expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal right that might otherwise require Administrative Agent to enforce its rights by judicial process. Borrower recognizes and concedes that non-judicial remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length. Nothing herein is intended to prevent Administrative Agent or Borrower from resorting to judicial process at either party’s option.

(f) Other Recourse. Borrower waives any right to require Administrative Agent to proceed against any third party, exhaust any Collateral or other security for the Obligations or to have any third party joined with Borrower in any suit arising out of the Obligations or any of the Loan Documents, or pursue any other remedy available to Administrative Agent. Borrower further waives any and all notice of acceptance of this Agreement. Borrower further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any third party or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any third party.

(g) Disclaimer of Warranties, Sales on Credit and Limitation of Liability. In connection with any foreclosure sale of the Collateral, Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Administrative Agent and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral and Borrower shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale. Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part of it, at any private sale. Borrower hereby waives any claims it may have against Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, less than the price that might have been obtained had the Collateral been sold pursuant to a purchase agreement for it obtained by Borrower, or less than the aggregate amount of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and the unpaid interest accrued on them, even if Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

(h) License. Administrative Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks and advertising matter or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Administrative Agent’s benefit.

Section 10.4 Attorney-in-Fact. Subject to any limitations set forth in any applicable Acknowledgment Agreement, Administrative Agent or any vice president or more senior officer of Administrative Agent is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of Borrower, with full power of

substitution, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any agreements, documents or instruments that Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish this Agreement’s purposes, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is coupled with an interest and irrevocable for so long as any of the Obligations or the Revolving Credit Commitments are outstanding, although Administrative Agent agrees not to exercise its rights under this power of attorney unless, in its opinion or the opinion of its legal counsel, an Event of Default has occurred that Administrative Agent has not declared in writing to have been cured or waived. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to the terms of the Acknowledgment Agreement, Administrative Agent shall have the right and power, either in the name of Borrower or both, or in its own name, to (a) give notices of its security interest in the Collateral to any Person, (b) endorse in blank, to itself or to a nominee all items of Collateral that are transferable by endorsement and are payable to the order of Borrower, including canceling, completing or supplying any unneeded, incomplete or missing endorsement of Borrower and any related assignment, (c) receive, endorse, collect and receipt for all checks and other orders made payable to the order of Borrower representing any payment of account of the principal of or interest on any Collateral or their proceeds (including any securities), or the proceeds of sale of any of the Collateral, or any payment in respect of any hedging arrangement or device, and to give full discharge for them, (d) to the extent payable to Borrower, request distribution to Administrative Agent of any sale proceeds or any applicable contract termination fees arising from the sale or termination of such servicing rights and remaining after satisfaction of Borrower’s relevant obligations to an Agency or such other investor or guarantor (as the case may be), including costs and expenses related to any such sale or transfer of such servicing rights and other amounts due for unmet obligations of Borrower to such Agency or such other investor or guarantor (as the case may be) under applicable Agency Guidelines or such other investor’s or guarantor’s contract, (e) deal with investors and any and all subservicers and master servicers in respect of any of the Collateral in the same manner and with the same effect as if done by Borrower, (f) submit to Ginnie Mae and request (i) Ginnie Mae’s approval of a Transfer Request (as defined in the Acknowledgement Agreement) to transfer the servicing of any or all of the Serviced Ginnie Mae Loans to any Ginnie Mae- approved Standby Issuer (as defined in the Acknowledgement Agreement) and (ii) Ginnie Mae’s transfer of such servicing if approved, and (g) take any action and execute any instruments that Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable to accomplish any of such purposes.

Section 10.5 Performance by Administrative Agent. If Borrower shall fail to perform any covenant or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, then, subject to the terms of the Acknowledgment Agreement, Administrative Agent may perform or attempt to perform such covenant or agreement on behalf of Borrower. In such event, Borrower shall, at the request of Administrative Agent, promptly pay to Administrative Agent any amount expended by Administrative Agent in connection with such performance or attempted performance, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and including the date of such expenditure to but excluding the date such expenditure is paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that Administrative Agent shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any covenant, agreement or other obligation of Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 10.6 Appointment of Receiver. At any time an Event of Default exists, then, subject to the terms of the Acknowledgment Agreement, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 87

exercise the right to appoint or seek appointment of a receiver, custodian or trustee of Borrower or any of the Collateral pursuant to an order by any Governmental Authority, and Borrower consents to such appointment and will not oppose Administrative Agent’s efforts to obtain such receiver, custodian or trustee.

Section 10.7 Diminution in Collateral Value. Administrative Agent does not assume, and shall never have, any liability or responsibility for any loss or diminution in the value of all or any part of the Collateral.

Section 10.8 Administrative Agent Not In Control. None of the covenants or other provisions contained in this Agreement shall, or shall be deemed to, give Administrative Agent the right to exercise control over the affairs and/or management of Borrower, the power of Administrative Agent being limited to the right to exercise the remedies provided in the other Sections of this Article 10; provided that if Administrative Agent becomes the owner of any ownership interest of any Person, whether through foreclosure or otherwise, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to exercise such legal rights as it may have by virtue of being an owner of such Person.

Section 10.9 Right of Administrative Agent to Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Obligated Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, Administrative Agent in accordance with this Article 10 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 4.2 (subject to the terms of Section 12.25), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Obligated Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided further that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article 10 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 12.25, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, Administrative Agent shall have the right and the option, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion and without the consent of any Lender hereunder and without the requirement of obtaining the approval of the Required Lenders, to (i) exercise, whether prior to or during an Event of Default hereunder, each of the rights and remedies provided to Administrative Agent in any Acknowledgment Agreement, including advancing funds under and as required under any Acknowledgment Agreement to preserve and retain the Pledged Servicing Rights covered by such Acknowledgment Agreement, provided that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to undertake any such action and (ii) exercise each of the rights and remedies provided for in this Article 10. Any and all contract rights that Administrative Agent shall succeed to pursuant to the rights herein granted and under any Acknowledgment Agreement shall be allocated among Administrative Agent and each Lender in

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 88

an equal fashion, and such rights of Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be of equal priority (pari passu) notwithstanding the priorities of any liens or security interests of Administrative Agent and each Lender in any of the Collateral.

Article 11

AGENCY

Section 11.1 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Texas Capital Bank to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder, under the other Loan Documents, and each Acknowledgment Agreement and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 11 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither Borrower nor any other Obligated Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to Administrative 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 as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b) Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” and “secured party” under the Loan Documents and Acknowledgement Agreement, and each of the Lenders (for itself and for its Affiliates that are Bank Product Providers as such) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of exercising both the mandatory and discretionary rights, duties and obligations under the Acknowledgment Agreement and acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Obligated Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto, including all such powers set forth under any Acknowledgment Agreement. In this connection, Administrative Agent, as collateral agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.5 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 11 and Article 12 (including Section 12.1(b), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Section 11.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 89

business with, Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders.

Section 11.3 Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Largest Lender, the Required Lenders or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents, as applicable; provided that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or upon the advice of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

(iv) shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action; and

(v) does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate”.

(b) Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request or direction of the Largest Lender, the Required Lenders or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary, as applicable, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2 and Section 11.9), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. SUCH LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE LIABILITY ARISES FROM THE SOLE, CONCURRENT, CONTRIBUTORY OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 90

and until notice describing such Default is given to Administrative Agent in writing by Borrower or a Lender.

(c) Neither Administrative Agent nor any Related Party thereof shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent.

Section 11.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Credit Extension, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 11.5 Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 11 shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of this facility as well as activities as Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents.

Section 11.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation (the “Resignation Notice Date”), the Appointing Party shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor. If no such successor

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 91

shall have been so appointed by Appointing Party and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the Resignation Notice Date, then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. The resignation of the retiring Administrative Agent shall only become effective on the date that a successor has been appointed and has entered into the Acknowledgment Agreement or any replacement thereof (the “Resignation Effective Date”). After the Resignation Effective Date, the provisions of this Article 11 relating to or indemnifying or releasing Administrative Agent shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Appointing Party may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Appointing Party and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Appointing Party) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Removal Effective Date or thirty (30) days following the Resignation Notice Date (as applicable) (i) the removed or retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity, fee or expense payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender, directly, until such time, if any, as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article 11, Section 12.1 and Section 12.2 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 11.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither Administrative Agent nor any other Lender nor any Related Party thereto has made any representation or warranty to such Person and that no act by

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 92

Administrative Agent or any other Lender hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Administrative Agent or any Lender to any other Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent hereunder, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), or creditworthiness of Borrower or the value of the Collateral or other Properties of Borrower or any other Person that may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Section 11.8 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Obligated Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations under the Loan Documents that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Administrative Agent under Section 12.1 and Section 12.2) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Section 12.1 and Section 12.2.

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 93

Section 11.9 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

(a) The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

(i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (x) upon termination of all Revolving Credit Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under Bank Product Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Bank Product Provider shall have been made), (y) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, or (z) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by Required Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, under Section 12.12;

(ii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 8.4;

(iii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents; and

(iv) to appoint a Standby Issuer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Acknowledgment Agreement.

Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, Required Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 11.9.

(b) Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Obligated Party in connection therewith, nor shall Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Section 11.10 Bank Product Agreements. No Bank Product Provider who obtains the benefits of Section 10.3, any Guaranty Agreements or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guaranty Agreement or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) (or to notice of or to consent to any amendment, wavier or modification of the provisions hereof or of the Guaranty or any Security Document) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 11 to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 94

made with respect to, Bank Product Obligations unless Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Bank Product Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Bank Product Provider. Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Bank Product Obligations arising under Bank Product Agreements upon termination of all Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations under the Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification obligations).

Article 12

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.1 Expenses.

(a) Borrower hereby agrees to pay on demand: (i) all costs and expenses of Administrative Agent, the Largest Lender and their respective Related Parties in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any and all amendments, modifications, renewals, extensions, supplements, waivers, consents and ratifications thereof and thereto, including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel, advisors, consultants and auditors for Administrative Agent, the Largest Lender and their respective Related Parties; (ii) all costs and expenses of Administrative Agent and each Lender in connection with any Default and the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including court costs and fees and expenses of legal counsel, advisors, consultants and auditors for Administrative Agent and each Lender; (iii) all transfer, stamp, documentary or other similar taxes, assessments or charges levied by any Governmental Authority in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (iv) all costs, expenses, assessments and other charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any Lien contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (v) all other costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and any Lender in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any litigation, dispute, suit, proceeding or action, the enforcement of its rights and remedies and the protection of its interests in bankruptcy, insolvency or other legal proceedings, including all costs, expenses and other charges (including Administrative Agent’s and such Lender’s internal charges) incurred in connection with evaluating, observing, collecting, examining, auditing, appraising, selling, liquidating or otherwise disposing of the Collateral or other assets of Borrower. Borrower shall be responsible for all expenses described in this Section 12.1(a) whether or not any Credit Extension is ever made. Any amount to be paid under this Section 12.1 shall be a demand obligation owing by Borrower and if not paid within [***] of demand shall bear interest, to the extent not prohibited by and no in violation of applicable Law, from the date of expenditure until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Default Interest Rate. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 12.1 shall survive payment of the Notes and other obligations hereunder and the assignment of any right hereunder.

(b) To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 12.1(a) or Section 12.1(b) to be paid by it to Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 95

the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Total Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or against any Related Party of Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) acting for Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PAYMENTS MAY BE IN RESPECT OF LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE SOLE, CONTRIBUTORY, COMPARATIVE, CONCURRENT OR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF THE PERSON (OR THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PERSON) TO WHOM SUCH PAYMENTS ARE TO BE MADE.

Section 12.2 INDEMNIFICATION. BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH LENDER AND EACH RELATED PARTY THEREOF FROM, AND HOLD EACH OF THEM HARMLESS AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEY’S FEES) TO WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY BECOME SUBJECT THAT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISE FROM OR RELATE TO (A) THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, PERFORMANCE, ADMINISTRATION, OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (B) ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (C) ANY BREACH BY BORROWER OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT OR OTHER AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (D) THE PRESENCE, RELEASE, THREATENED RELEASE, DISPOSAL, REMOVAL OR CLEANUP OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIAL LOCATED ON, ABOUT, WITHIN OR AFFECTING ANY OF THE PROPERTIES OR ASSETS OF BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR ANY OTHER OBLIGATED PARTY, (E) ANY LOAN OR USE OR PROPOSED USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREFROM OR (F) ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING, INCLUDING ANY THREATENED INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING, RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OF ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH PERSON TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED FROM AND HELD HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEY’S FEES) ARISING OUT OF RESULTING FROM THE SOLE, CONTRIBUTORY, COMPARATIVE, CONCURRENT OR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH PERSON (OR THE REPRESENTATIVES OF SUCH PERSON). Any amount to be paid under this Section 12.2 shall be a demand obligation owing by Borrower and if not paid within [***] of demand shall bear interest, to the extent not prohibited by and not in violation of applicable Law, from the date of expenditure until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Default Interest Rate. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 12.2 shall survive payment of the Notes and other obligations hereunder and the assignment of any right hereunder.

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 96

Section 12.3 Limitation of Liability. None of Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney or agent of any of the foregoing, shall have any liability with respect to, and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages suffered or incurred by Borrower or any other Obligated Party in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents of any of the foregoing for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 12.4 No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Administrative Agent or such Lender and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to Borrower or any of Borrower’s equity holders, Affiliates, officers, employees, attorneys, agents or any other Person.

Section 12.5 Lenders Not Fiduciary. The relationship between Borrower and Administrative Agent, Arranger and each Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor, and none of Administrative Agent, Arranger or any Lender has any fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower and Administrative Agent, Arranger and each Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

Section 12.6 Equitable Relief. Borrower recognizes that in the event Borrower fails to pay, perform, observe or discharge any or all of the Obligations, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Administrative Agent or Lenders. Borrower therefore agrees that Administrative Agent or any Lender, if Administrative Agent or such Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

Section 12.7 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

Section 12.8 Exclusive Enforcement Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Obligated Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 97

enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.2 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 4.2 (subject to the terms of Section 12.25) or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Obligated Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided further that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Appointing Party shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.2 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 12.25, any Lender may, with the consent of the Appointing Party, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Appointing Party.

Section 12.9 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.9(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.9(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 12.9(e) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment(s) and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts. (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment(s) and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in Section 12.9(b)(i)(B) in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in Section 12.9(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment(s) (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding hereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment is not then in effect, the Outstanding Amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 98

delivered to Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than [***], in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Revolving Credit Commitment(s) assigned, except that this Section 12.9(b)(ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate facilities on a non-pro rata basis.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 12.9(b)(i)(B) and, in addition: (A) the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and (B) the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Credit Loans if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of [***]; provided that Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) Borrower, or an of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any other Obligated Party or (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing persons described in this clause (B).

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to such assignment shall make such additional payments to Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent, the

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 99

applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by such Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to: (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 12.9, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(viii) Approved Assignee is a Lender. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.9(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.1 and Section 12.2 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any party hereunder arising from that Lenders’ having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.9(b)(viii) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.9(d). Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section 12.9(b), if requested by the transferor or transferee Lender, the transferor Lender, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender (if applicable) and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to the assignee.

(c) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Dallas, Texas a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Subject to the restrictions, if any, imposed by the Agency pursuant to the Acknowledgment Agreement, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to a Participant in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and /or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 100

solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 12.1(b) without regard to the existence of any participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 12.12 that requires the consent of all Lenders and affects such Participant. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.2(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.2(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.9(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 as if it were an assignee under Section 12.9(b); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.3 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.2 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to pay to Administrative Agent any amount set-off for application to the Obligations under the Loan Documents as required pursuant to Section 4.2; provided further that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.25 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a Participant Register; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit 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, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or a Federal Home Loan Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 101

(f) Dissemination of Information. Borrower and each other Obligated Party authorizes Administrative Agent and each Lender to disclose to any actual or prospective purchaser, assignee or other recipient of a Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, any and all information in Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s possession concerning Borrower, the other Obligated Parties and their respective Affiliates.

Section 12.10 Survival. All representations and warranties made in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any document, statement or certificate furnished in connection with this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and no investigation by Administrative Agent or any Lender or any closing shall affect the representations and warranties or the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to rely upon them. Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligation of Borrower hereunder, the obligations of Borrower under Section 12.1 and Section 12.2 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

Section 12.11 Amendment and Restatement of Prior Loan Agreement. This Agreement is in renewal, extension, modification, increase and restatement of, and is intended to carry forward the liens and security interests of (i) the Loan and Security Agreement dated January 22, 2014 by and between Borrower and Texas Capital Bank, (ii) the First Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated April 15, 2015, also by and between Borrower and Texas Capital Bank, (iii) the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated April 9, 2016 also by and between Borrower and Texas Capital Bank, (iv) the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated May 10, 2017, also by and between Borrower and Texas Capital Bank, and (v) the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated June 6, 2018, also by and between Borrower and Texas Capital Bank as affected by the (x) Joinder and Assumption Agreement, dated June 18, 2018, by and among Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Pinnacle Bank, in respect thereof, (y) First Amendment thereto, dated February 25, 2019, and (z) Second Amendment thereto, dated February 25, 2019, (collectively, the “Prior Loan Agreement”) (collectively, the “Prior Loan Agreement”).

The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party may be amended or waived only by an instrument in writing signed by Required Lenders (or by Administrative Agent with the consent of Required Lenders) and Borrower and acknowledged by Administrative Agent; provided that no such amendment or waiver shall:

(a) waive any condition set forth in Section 5.1 (other than Section 5.1(o)), without the written consent of each Lender;

(b) extend or increase any Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Revolving Credit Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 10.2) without the written consent of such Lender;

and, provided further that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent in addition to Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) the Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (and any amendment, waiver or consent that by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Revolving Credit Commitment(s) of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender; and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Waiver of Venue. Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 12.14(b).

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 106

DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 12.20.

Section 12.21 Additional Interest Provision. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the indebtedness evidenced by any Note, any Loan Document and the Related Indebtedness (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits any Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under applicable law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (a) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received pursuant to any Note, any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and any Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (b) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by reason of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, or (c) Borrower will have paid or Administrative Agent or any Lender will have received by reason of any voluntary prepayment by Borrower of any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, then it is Borrower’s, Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Rate theretofore collected by Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (or, if any Note and all Related Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of any Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided that if any Note or Related Indebtedness has been paid in full before the end of the stated term thereof, then Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, shall, with reasonable promptness after Administrative Agent or such Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, either refund such excess interest to Borrower and/or credit such excess interest against such Note and/or any Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Administrative Agent or such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Administrative Agent or such Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Administrative Agent or any Lender, advising Administrative Agent or such Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in that to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Note to that the alleged violation relates and/or the Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Administrative Agent or such Lender. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Administrative Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of such Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to such Note and/or the

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 107

Related Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Notes and/or any of the Related Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Administrative Agent or any Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

Section 12.22 Ceiling Election. To the extent that any Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Maximum Rate payable on any Note and/or any other portion of the Obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303. To the extent United States federal law permits any Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, such Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, any Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.

Section 12.23 USA Patriot Act Notice. Administrative Agent and the Lenders each hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and each other Obligated Party, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and each other Obligated Party and other information that will allow Administrative Agent and such Lender to identify Borrower and each other Obligated Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, Borrower agrees to (a) ensure that no Person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower is or shall be listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List or other similar lists maintained by the OFAC, the Department of the Treasury or included in any Executive Order, (b) not to use or permit the use of proceeds of the Obligations to violate any of the foreign asset control regulations of the OFAC or any enabling statute or Executive Order relating thereto or Anti-Corruption Laws or Anti-Terrorism Laws, and (c) comply, or cause its Subsidiaries to comply, with the applicable Laws.

Section 12.24 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and in Section 12.12.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 10 or otherwise) or

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 108

received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, with respect to a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Revolving Credit Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; third, with respect to a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility.

(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.2(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower and Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 12.25 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender or any of its Related Parties shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it or other obligations hereunder,

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 109

resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall:

(a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact; and

(b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section 12.25 shall not be construed to apply to: (A) any payment made by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender); or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 12.25 shall apply).

Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

If any Lender (or any Related Party of any Lender) shall receive any payments in contravention of Section 8.12, such Lender shall deliver (and cause any applicable Related Party to deliver) such amounts to the Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations under the Loan Documents in the order set forth in Section 10.3.

Section 12.26 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to Administrative Agent or any Lender, or Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 110

annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.27 Confidentiality. Each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (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), (b) to any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or any Governmental Authority, quasi-Governmental Authority or legislative committee, (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to its being under a duty of confidentiality no less restrictive than this Section 12.27, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any Hedge Agreement relating to Borrower and its obligations, (iii) any actual or prospective purchaser of a Lender or its holding company, (iv) any rating agency or any similar organization in connection with the rating of Borrower or the facilities or (v) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the facilities, (g) with the consent of Borrower, or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.27 or (ii) becomes available to Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower. For purposes of this Section 12.27, “Information” means all information received from Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses that is clearly identified as confidential, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or a Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 12.27 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 12.28 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New

CREDIT AGREEMENT — Page 111

York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 12.29 Independence of Covenants. All covenants under the Loan Documents shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default if such action is taken or such condition exists.

Section 12.30 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 Lender that is an 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 Lender 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 12.31 NOTICE OF FINAL AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF 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.
