Agreement (for the benefit of the applicable Purchaser thereof)
(i) on the Restatement Date, a duly executed variable funding
certificate — Class A (each such certificate, a “
Class A Variable Funding Certificate ” or “
Class A VFC ”), in substantially the form of
Exhibit B-1 , and (ii) on the Restatement Date, a

Variable Funding Certificate shall evidence an undivided ownership
interest (and the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign and
convey such undivided ownership interest to the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers) in the Collateral
purchased by a Purchaser in an amount equal, at any time, to the
percentage equivalent of a fraction (i) the
56
numerator of which is the Advances outstanding under the applicable
VFC on such day, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total
aggregate Advances Outstanding on such day. Interest shall accrue,
and each VFC shall be payable, as described herein; provided
that the aggregate amount outstanding under (i) all
Class A VFCs at any one time shall not exceed the Class A
Facility Amount, and (ii) all Class B VFCs at any one
time shall not exceed the Class B Facility Amount.
(b) On the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, from the Closing Date to, but excluding the
Termination Date, the Seller may, at its option, request advances
of funds under the Class A VFCs (each, a “
Class A Advance ”) and the Issuers may, in their
sole discretion, fund such Class A Advance ratably in
accordance with their Issuer Purchase Limits (or in such other
proportion as the Issuers may mutually agree), and if the Issuers
do not fund the entire amount of such Class A Advance, the
Liquidity Banks shall fund, ratably in accordance with their
Class A Commitments, any portion of such Class A Advance
not funded by the Issuers; provided that in no event shall
the Class A Purchasers make any Class A Advance if, after
giving effect to such Class A Advance, either (i) the
aggregate Class A Advances Outstanding hereunder would exceed
the lesser of (x) the Class A Facility Amount, or
(y) the Maximum Availability, or (ii) the Combined
Advances Outstanding would exceed the Combined Commitment Amount.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.1 or
elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no Issuer
shall fund any Class A Advance at any time if, after giving
effect thereto, the outstanding principal amount of Class A
Advances funded by such Issuer would exceed such Issuer’s
Issuer Purchase Limit, (ii) no Liquidity Bank shall be
obligated to provide the Administrative Agent or the Seller with
aggregate funds in connection with a Class A Advance that
would exceed such Liquidity Bank’s Class A Commitment
then in effect and (iii) to the extent that the making of any
Class A Advance would result in the Combined Advances
Outstanding exceeding the Combined Threshold Amount then in effect,
such Class A Advance will be made at the sole discretion of
Administrative Agent, and no Issuer or Liquidity Bank shall be
obligated to fund any such Class A Advance. Each Class A
Advance made by the Class A Purchasers hereunder is subject to
the interests of the Hedge Counterparties under
Section 2.9(a)(1) and Section 2.10(a)(1) of
this Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything in this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document to the contrary, (i) nothing contained in this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall constitute a
commitment by any Issuer to fund any Advance and (ii) the
Issuers shall not be liable to make any payments under this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document (all liability with
respect to which shall be an obligation of the Liquidity Banks or
the Administrative Agent).
(d) On the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, from the Restatement Date to, but excluding
the Termination Date, the Seller may, at its option, request
advances of funds under the Class B VFCs (each, a “
Class B Advance ”) and the Class B
Purchasers shall fund, ratably in accordance with their
Class B Commitments, such Class B Advance;
provided that in no event shall the Class B Purchasers
make any Class B Advance if, after giving effect to such
Class B Advance, the aggregate Class B Advances
Outstanding hereunder would exceed the lesser of (x) the
Class B Facility Amount and (y) an amount equal to the
product of 5/75 multiplied by the Class A Advances Outstanding
as of the proposed Funding Date, after giving effect to any
Class A Advances to be funded on such date. Notwithstanding
anything contained
57
in this
Section 2.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the
contrary, no Class B Purchaser shall fund any
Class B Advance at any time if, after giving effect thereto,
the outstanding principal amount of Class B Advances funded by
such Class B Purchaser would exceed its Class B
Commitment then in effect.
(e) [Intentionally
Omitted.]
(f) Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, this Agreement and the Class A
VFCs to be issued thereunder shall constitute a single revolving
debt facility with a single maturity and Seller shall not take any
action under the Agreement that would cause Seller to have
outstanding one or more debt obligations with two or more
maturities hereunder, provided that if an Eligible Assignee other
than CSE Mortgage LLC or any entity wholly-owned by CSE Mortgage
LLC that is disregarded for income tax purposes becomes a
Class B Purchaser, the Class B VFCs shall be treated as
issued and outstanding without, and not due to any action by,
Seller, including a pledge by Seller of the Class B
VFCs.
For
purposes of this section, debt obligations have “two or more
maturities” if they have different stated maturities or if
the holders of the debt obligations possess different rights
concerning the acceleration of or delay in the maturities of the
obligations.

Section 2.3

(a) Each Advance from a
Purchaser hereunder shall be effected by the Seller (or the
Servicer on its behalf) delivering to the Administrative Agent and
Class B Purchaser (with a copy to the Collateral Custodian and
the Backup Servicer) a duly completed Borrowing Notice (along with
a Borrowing Base Certificate) no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York
City, New York time) at least two Business Days prior to the
proposed Funding Date; provided that no more than four
Class A Advances shall be made in any one calendar month
without the Administrative Agent’s prior consent. Each
Borrowing Notice (along with a Borrowing Base Certificate) shall
(i) specify the desired amount of such Class A Advance
(which amount must be at least equal to $250,000) and Class B
Advance, (ii) specify the date of such Advances, (iii) specify
the Assets to be financed on such Funding Date (including the
appropriate file number and Outstanding Asset Balance for each
Asset, and identifying each Loan by type and whether such Loan is a
Senior Secured ABL Loan, Senior Secured Loan, B-Note Loan,
Mezzanine Loan, Acquired Loan or Participation Loan) and
(iv) include a representation that all conditions precedent
for an Advance described in Article III hereof have
been met. Each Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable.
Each Borrowing Notice shall set
forth, and each Advance shall be comprised of (i) a proposed
Class A Advance and (ii) a proposed Class B Advance,
which shall be calculated at the Class B Advance Rate based on
the proposed Class A Advance.
Each Issuer shall promptly thereafter
notify the Administrative Agent whether such Issuer has determined
to make the requested Class A Advance on the terms specified
by the Seller, and the Issuers shall notify the Administrative
Agent of the funding allocation as between
58
them (if
other than proportional to their Issuer Purchase Limits). The
Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Seller
whether the Issuers have determined to make the requested purchase
and, if so, whether all of the terms specified by the Seller are
acceptable to the Issuers. If the Issuers have determined not to
make the entire amount of a Class A Advance requested to be
made, the Administrative Agent shall promptly send notice of the
proposed Class A Advance to all of the Liquidity Banks
concurrently specifying the date of such Class A Advance, the
aggregate amount of such Class A Advance to be funded by the
Liquidity Banks (which amount shall be equal to the portion of the
Class A Advance not funded by the Issuers), and each such
Liquidity Bank’s portion thereof (determined ratably in
accordance with its respective Class A Commitment).
(b) On the date of each Advance,
the applicable Purchasers shall upon satisfaction of the applicable
conditions set forth in Article III , make available to
the Seller in same day funds, at such bank or other location
reasonably designated by Seller in its Borrowing Notice given

equal to: (X) with respect to the Class A VFC, the least
of (i) the amount requested by the Seller for such
Class A Advance, (ii) an amount equal to the Class A
Availability on such Funding Date, and (iii) the Class A
Facility Amount, and (Y) with respect to the Class B VFC,
the least of (i) the amount requested by the Seller for such
Class B Advance, (ii) 5/75 multiplied by Class A
Advances Outstanding after giving effect to the proposed
Class A Advance, subject to the limitation set forth in the
proviso to Section 2.1(b) , and (iii) the undrawn
portion of the Class B Facility Amount.
(c) Effective on the date of
each Advance pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Seller hereby
sells and assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Purchasers making such Advance, all Assets listed on the
attachment to the Borrowing Notice delivered in connection with
such Advance, and the Related Security and Collections with respect
thereto.
(d) On each Funding Date, the
obligation of each Liquidity Bank to remit its pro rata share of
each Class A Advance shall be several from that of each other
Liquidity Bank and the failure of any Liquidity Bank to so make
such amount available to the Seller shall not relieve any other
Liquidity Bank of its obligation hereunder. No Liquidity Bank shall
be responsible for the failure of any other Liquidity Bank to make
funds available in connection with any Class A Advance.
(e) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, an Additional Asset may not be included in the Assets
being financed unless (x) if all Pool Concentration Criteria
were satisfied immediately prior to giving effect to such
inclusion, all Pool Concentration Criteria continue to be satisfied
after giving effect to the inclusion of such Additional Asset or
(y) if any Pool Concentration Criteria was not satisfied
immediately prior to giving effect to such inclusion, the degree of
non-satisfaction of each Pool Concentration Criteria will be
maintained or improved after giving effect to the inclusion of such
Additional Asset.
(f) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (x) no Construction Loan may become an Additional
Asset, if after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Asset
Balance of all Construction Loans that are included in the
Collateral (expressed as a percentage of Aggregate Outstanding
Asset Balance) would exceed the Outstanding Asset Balance (as of
the initial Funding Date) of all Construction Loans included in the
Collateral on the initial Funding Date (expressed as a
59
percentage of Aggregate Outstanding Asset Balance as of the initial
Funding Date), and (y) no Loan due from the Obligor of an
Excess Concentration Loan may become an Additional Asset.
Section 2.4
Reduction of the Facility Amount; Mandatory and Optional
Repayments; Increase of Commitment .
(a) The Seller may, upon at
least 10 days’ prior written notice (such notice to be
received by the Administrative Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. (New
York City, New York time) on such day) to the Administrative Agent
and Class B Purchaser, terminate in whole or reduce in part
the portion of the Facility Amount that exceeds the sum of the
Advances Outstanding, accrued Interest, Breakage Costs and Hedge
Breakage Costs; provided that each partial reduction of the
Facility Amount shall be in an aggregate amount equal to at least
$1,000,000; and provided, further that, the reduction in the
Facility Amount shall be allocated pro rata between the
Class A Facility Amount and the Class B Facility Amount.
Each notice of reduction or termination pursuant to this
Section 2.4(a) shall be irrevocable.
(b) The Seller may, upon two
Business Days’ prior written notice (such notice to be
received by the Administrative Agent and each Hedge Counterparty no
later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City, New York time) on such
day) to the Administrative Agent, reduce the Advances Outstanding
by remitting, to the Administrative Agent, for payment to the
applicable Purchasers, (i) cash and (ii) instructions to
reduce such Advances Outstanding, related accrued Interest,
Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs; provided that no
such reduction shall be given effect unless the Seller has complied
with the terms of any Hedging Agreement requiring that one or more
Hedge Transactions be terminated in whole or in part as the result
of any such reduction of the Advances Outstanding, and Seller has
paid all Hedge Breakage Costs and any payments owing to the
relevant Hedge Counterparty for any such termination. Any reduction
of the Advances Outstanding shall be in a minimum amount of
$250,000. Any such reduction will occur only if sufficient funds
have been remitted to pay all such amounts in the succeeding
sentence in full. Upon receipt of such amounts, the Administrative
Agent shall apply such amounts first to the pro rata
reduction of the Advances Outstanding by paying such amounts to the
applicable Purchasers, second to the payment of related
accrued Interest on the amount of the Advances Outstanding to be
repaid by paying such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, and
third to the payment of any Breakage Costs and Hedge
Breakage Costs and any other payments owing to the applicable Hedge
Counterparty in respect of the termination of any Hedge
Transaction; provided , however , (x) if such
amounts are received during the Amortization Period or the Turbo
Period, such amounts shall be applied in the order of priority set
forth in Section 2.10, and (y) if such amounts are
received during the Revolving Period, such amounts shall be applied
first to Class A Advances Outstanding and related Interest,
Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs and then to Class B
Advances Outstanding and related Interest and Breakage Costs. Any
notice relating to any prepayment pursuant to this Section
2.4(b) shall be irrevocable.
(c) If on any day (i) the
Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, does not
own or have a valid and perfected first priority security interest
in any of the Collateral or (ii) any Asset which has been
represented by the Seller to be an Eligible Asset is later
determined not to have been an Eligible Asset as of the related
Cut-Off Date, upon the earlier of the Seller’s receipt of
notice from the Administrative Agent or the Seller becoming aware
thereof and the
60
Seller’s failure to cure such breach within 30 days, the
Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a collection (a
“ Deemed Collection ”) of such Asset in full and
shall on such day pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the
Purchasers and each Hedge Counterparty, an amount equal to
(x) the Outstanding Asset Balance of the Asset (calculated
without regard to the first two provisos contained in the
definition of “Outstanding Asset Balance”) to be
applied towards the reduction of the principal of the Class A
VFCs until paid in full and then towards the reduction of the
principal of the Class B VFCs until paid in full, plus
(y) any Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs and any other
payments owing to the applicable Hedge Counterparty in respect of
the termination of any Hedge Transaction required as a result of
the Deemed Collection and retransfer of the related Asset
contemplated by this Section 2.4(c) . In connection
with any such Deemed Collection, the Administrative Agent, as agent
for the Secured Parties, shall automatically and without further
action, be deemed to transfer to the Seller, free and clear of any
Lien created by the Administrative Agent, all of the right, title
and interest of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured
Parties, in, to, and under the Asset with respect to which the
Administrative Agent has received such Deemed Collection, but
without any other representation and warranty of any kind, express
or implied.
(d) At any time prior to the
Termination Date, the Seller may, upon at least two
(2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent, request that the aggregate Class A
Commitments be increased in increments of $125,000,000 up to a
maximum incremental amount of $250,000,000, with a commensurate
increase in the Class A Commitment of each Liquidity Bank and
the pro rata increase in the Class B Commitments in
increments of $8,333,334 (or $8,333,333, as applicable) up to a
maximum incremental amount of $16,666,667, any such increase to be
subject to the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the
Class B Purchaser and each Liquidity Bank.
Section 2.5
Determination of Interest .
To the extent any Purchaser’s
Class A Interest Rate is determined by reference to the CP
Rate, the Administrative Agent shall determine such
Purchaser’s CP Rate and the Interest (including unpaid

paid by the Seller with respect to each Advance, as applicable, on
each Payment Date for the related Accrual Period and shall advise
the Servicer thereof on or before the third Business Day prior to
such Payment Date.
Section 2.6
Percentage Evidenced by each Variable Funding
Certificate .
The variable percentage ownership
interest in the Collateral represented by each VFC shall be
initially computed on its date of purchase as set forth in
Section 2.1(a) . Thereafter, until the Termination
Date, each VFC shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be
recomputed) on each day prior to the Termination Date as set forth
in Section 2.1(a) . The variable percentage ownership
interest in the Collateral represented by each VFC as computed (or
deemed to be recomputed) as of the close of business on the day
immediately preceding the Termination Date shall remain constant at
all times on and after the Termination Date. The variable
percentage ownership interest in the Collateral represented by each

under a VFC made by the applicable Purchaser of: (a) the date
and principal amount thereof, and (b) each repayment of
principal thereof, and any such recordation shall constitute prima
facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded. The
failure of the Administrative Agent to make any such notation on
the schedule attached to the VFC shall not limit or otherwise
affect the obligation of the Seller to repay the Advances in
accordance with their respective terms as set forth herein.
