The RMR VII Amendment amends the RMR VII Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) increase the commitment amount from $75,000,000 to $125,000,000, (ii) amend the "Advance Rate" definition to reflect 76.0% and, during the continuation of a “Level I Trigger Event,” 72.5%, (iii) address changes to the definitions of "Concentration Limits," "Level I Trigger Event," and "Level II Trigger Event," (iv) add certain additional direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company to the definition of “Originator,” (v) extend the "Scheduled Commitment Termination Date" to October 15, 2026, (vi) make certain clarifications to the eligibility criteria for "Eligible Receivables," and (vii) address amendments to and the incorporation of certain definitions relating to the pledge of participation interests in receivables originated by a bank partner upon the satisfaction of certain conditions.

Certain pricing terms were modified pursuant to an amended and restated fee letter agreement, dated October 3, 2024, by and among the Company, as servicer, RMR VII, as borrower, and the Administrative Agent (the “Amended Fee Letter”). The terms of the Amended Fee Letter reduced (i) the margin applied in calculating the rate of interest on the advances made pursuant to the RMR VII Credit Agreement to 2.40% per annum and (ii) the unused commitment fee rate for each day that the aggregate principal amount of the loans under the RMR VII Credit Agreement are greater than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate commitment of the lenders under the RMR VII Credit Agreement to 0.40% per annum.

. Subject to clause (c) below, in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion to

Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any Breakage Costs.

. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Administrative Agent with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any SOFR Loan, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower (an “Illegality Notice”). Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) any obligation of any Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to a SOFR Loan or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan, shall be suspended and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Base Rate shall be computed without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Base Rate shall be computed without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans, to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any Breakage Costs.

The Backup Servicer may be removed in connection with a breach by the Backup Servicer in any material respect of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Backup Servicer under this Agreement, or otherwise in the discretion of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), by 30 days’ prior notice given in writing and delivered to the Backup Servicer from the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) (the “Backup Servicer Termination Notice”). On and after the receipt by the Backup Servicer of the Backup Servicer Termination Notice, the Backup Servicer shall continue to perform all backup servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Backup Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) in writing or, if no such date is specified in the Backup Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), until a date mutually agreed upon by the Backup Servicer and the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders).

. The Backup Servicer shall resign only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders or if the Backup Servicer provides an Opinion of Counsel to the Administrative Agent to the effect that the Backup Servicer is no longer permitted by Applicable Law to act as Backup Servicer hereunder. No termination or resignation of the Backup Servicer hereunder shall be effective until a successor Backup Servicer, acceptable to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) has accepted its appointment as successor Backup Servicer hereunder and has agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If, however, a successor Backup Servicer is not appointed by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders within 30 days after the giving of notice of resignation or termination, the Backup Servicer may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Backup Servicer, with the cost of such petition (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) to be borne by the Borrower.

---

. Any Person into which the Backup Servicer (in such capacity or in its capacity as Successor Servicer) may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which to Backup Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust services business of the Backup Servicer, shall be the successor of the Backup Servicer under this Agreement, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

. The Backup Servicer shall be entitled to any right, protection, privilege or indemnity afforded to the Securities Intermediary under the terms of this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.

---

. Upon the declaration or the automatic occurrence of the Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders, exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies otherwise available to it, including rights available hereunder and the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC

---

(such rights and remedies to be cumulative and nonexclusive), and, in addition, the Administrative Agent shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders, take the following remedial actions:

---

. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between the Borrower or the Servicer, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, any Agent or Secured Party, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies expressly provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Secured Parties would otherwise have pursuant to Applicable Law or equity. No notice to or demand on any party in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or constitute a waiver of the right of the other party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

. The Borrower agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any

---

Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and the Borrower, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such Applicable Laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Administrative Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or such parcels as the Administrative Agent or such court may determine.

. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and deemed occurrence or declaration of the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 10.01(b), in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Article, including (i) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (ii) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (iii) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Borrower thereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto and (iv) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Basic Document. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent, directly or through a purchaser of any of the Collateral, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent or such purchaser all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request.

---

. Without limiting any other rights which the Administrative Agent, each Agent, each Lender or its assignee, the Backup Servicer, the Securities Intermediary or any of their respective Affiliates may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless each such entity (each in its capacity as such and in its individual capacity) and each of their respective Affiliates and officers, directors, employees and agents thereof (each, an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements (collectively, the “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by, any such Indemnified Party or other non-monetary damages of any such Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties for Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:

---

---

Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of Section 11.01 payable by the Borrower shall be paid solely pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.08 in the order and priority set forth therein.

. Without limiting any other rights which the Indemnified Parties may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred by, any such Indemnified Party or other non-monetary damages of any such Indemnified Party relating to or arising from any of the following, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party:

---

Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of Section 11.01 payable by the Servicer, to the extent not promptly paid by the Servicer, shall be paid pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.08.

. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Indemnified Party be indemnified against Excluded Taxes, any other Taxes for which the Borrower was required to indemnify a Secured Party pursuant to Section 2.14 or, except as otherwise provided herein, (i) nonpayment by an Obligor of an amount due and payable with respect to a Contract or (ii) any loss in value of any Permitted Investment due to changes in market conditions or for other reasons beyond the control of the Borrower or the Servicer.

The indemnities expressly provided in this Article are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Indemnified Parties would otherwise have pursuant to law or equity.

---

For the avoidance of doubt, Indemnified Amounts shall include any expense and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs, incurred in connection with any enforcement (including any dispute, action, claim or suit) brought by an Indemnified Party of any indemnification or other obligation of the indemnifying party or other Person.

. The foregoing indemnities shall apply whether or not liabilities and costs set forth above are in any way or to any extent owed, in whole or in part, under any claim or theory of strict liability. The provisions of this Article shall survive the termination or assignment of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the resignation or removal of any party.

---

---

. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under any of the Basic Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

. Neither any Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement (except for its, their or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct or, in the case of any Agent, the breach of its obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower, the Servicer, Regional Management or the Backup Servicer contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Basic Document to which it is a party for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other document furnished in connection herewith, or for any failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article Four. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any breach of this Agreement or the occurrence of any Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default, Facility Amortization Event or Servicer Termination Event unless it has received written notice thereof from the Borrower, the Servicer or a Secured Party.

---

. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, Regional Management, the Servicer, any Originator or the Backup Servicer shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, Regional Management, each Originator or

---

the Backup Servicer and the Receivables and made its own decision to purchase its interest in the Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under any of the Basic Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, Regional Management, each Originator or the Backup Servicer and the Receivables. Except for notices, reports and other documents received by an Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, Regional Management, each Originator or the Backup Servicer or the Receivables which may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

. The Committed Lenders (i) agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (without limiting the obligation (if any) of the Borrower or the Servicer to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any such amounts), ratably according to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have terminated, Invested Percentages of the Loans Outstanding) and (ii) in each Lender Group agree to indemnify the Agent for such Lender Group in its capacity as such (without limiting the obligation (if any) of the Borrower and the Servicer to reimburse such Agent for any such amounts), ratably according to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have terminated, Invested Percentages of the Loans Outstanding), in each case from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the obligations under this Agreement, including the Loans Outstanding) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of an Agent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of this Section shall survive the payment of the Obligations under this Agreement, including the Loans Outstanding, the termination of this Agreement, and any resignation or removal of the applicable Agent.

. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and any other party to a Basic Document as though it were not an Agent hereunder. In addition, the Lenders acknowledge that one or more Persons which are Agents may act (i) as administrator, sponsor or agent for one or more Conduit Lenders and in such capacity act and may continue to act on behalf of each such Conduit Lender in connection with its business, and (ii) as the agent for certain financial institutions under the liquidity and credit enhancement agreements relating to this Agreement to which any one or

---

more Conduit Lenders is party and in various other capacities relating to the business of any such Conduit Lender under various agreements. Any such Person, in its capacity as Agent, shall not, by virtue of its acting in any such other capacities, be deemed to have duties or responsibilities hereunder or be held to a standard of care in connection with the performance of its duties as an Agent other than as expressly provided in this Agreement. Any Person which is an Agent may act as an Agent without regard to and without additional duties or liabilities arising from its role as such administrator or agent or arising from its acting in any such other capacity. None of the provisions to this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.

. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon ten days’ written notice to the Lenders, each Agent and the Borrower with such resignation becoming effective upon a successor agent succeeding to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent pursuant to this Section. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor administrative agent, which may be a lender. Any Agent may resign as Agent upon ten days’ notice to the Lenders in its Lender Group, the Administrative Agent and each other Agent and the Borrower with such resignation becoming effective upon a successor agent succeeding to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent pursuant to this Section. If an Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement, then (i) Owners in its Lender Group having Invested Percentages aggregating greater than 50% of the aggregate Invested Percentages of all Owners in such Lender Group, and (ii) Committed Lenders in its Lender Group having Commitments aggregating greater than 50% of the aggregate Commitments of all Committed Lenders in such Lender Group shall appoint from among the Committed Lenders (other than the Conduit Lenders) in such Lender Group a successor agent for such Lender Group. Any successor administrative agent or agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of resigning Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Agent,” as applicable, shall mean such successor administrative agent or agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After the retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

. For all purposes under this Agreement, the Borrower and the Servicer may conclusively rely on written consent, approval or waiver from the Administrative Agent as consent, approval or waiver, respectively, of the Required Lenders.

---

---

In addition, unless either (1) clause (a)(i) above is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with clause (a)(iv) above, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agents and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Borrower, that the Agents are not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Agents under this Agreement, any Basic Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

---

---

---

---

---

. Each of the Borrower, the Servicer, and the Backup Servicer, severally and with respect to itself only, covenants and agrees to hold in confidence, and not disclose to any Person, the terms of this Agreement (including any fees payable in connection with this Agreement or the identity of the Lenders under this Agreement), except as the Administrative Agent or any such Lender may have consented to in writing prior to any proposed disclosure and except that it may disclose such information (i) to its Advisors, officers, directors, employees, lenders, investors, potential investors, agents, auditors, subservicers or representatives, (ii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through the Borrower, the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, (iii) to Computershare or its Affiliates or (iv) to the extent it should be (a) required by Applicable Law (including filing a copy of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents (other than any fee related letters)) as exhibits to filings required to be made with the SEC, or in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding, (b) requested by any Governmental Authority to disclose such information or (c) requested by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization; provided, that, in the case of clause (iv)(a), the Borrower, the Servicer and the Backup Servicer, as applicable, will (unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law) notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of its intention to make any such disclosure prior to making such disclosure. The provisions of this Section 14.01 shall survive for two years following the termination of this Agreement.

---

---

---

. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any document related to the transactions contemplated hereby, in connection with Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4, Section 301.6111-1T and Section 301.6112-1, the parties hereby agree that, from the commencement of discussions with respect to the transactions described herein, each party hereto (and each of its employees, representatives, Advisors, Affiliates or agents) is permitted to disclose to any and all persons of any kind, the tax treatment, tax structure and other relevant tax aspects of the transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to each such party related to such treatment, structure and tax aspects. In this regard, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that this disclosure of the treatment, structure or tax aspects of the transactions is not limited in any way by an express or implied understanding or agreement, oral or written (whether or not such understanding or agreement is legally binding). Furthermore, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that it does not know or have reason to know that its use or disclosure of information relating to the tax treatment, tax structure or other relevant tax aspects of the transactions is limited in any manner (such as where the transactions are claimed to be proprietary or exclusive) for the benefit of any other Person.

---

provided further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or

---

duties of the Securities Intermediary or the Backup Servicer hereunder without the prior written consent of the Securities Intermediary or the Backup Servicer, as the case may be (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided further, that the Fee Letter may only be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in writing executed by the parties thereto and with the written consent of the Required Lenders.

No amendment, waiver or other modification which could have a material adverse effect on the rights or obligations of any Hedge Counterparty under a Hedging Agreement shall be effective against such Hedge Counterparty without the prior written agreement of such Hedge Counterparty.

All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including communication by facsimile copy) and e-mailed, mailed, transmitted or delivered, as to each party hereto, at its address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof or specified in such party’s Assignment and Acceptance or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and communications shall be effective, upon receipt, or in the case of notice by (i) mail, five days after being deposited in the United States mail, first class postage prepaid, (ii) e-mail and facsimile copy, when electronic communication of receipt is obtained or (iii) overnight courier, one (1) Business Day after being deposited with such overnight courier service, except that notices and communications pursuant to Article Two shall not be effective until received with respect to any notice sent by mail, telecopier or e-mail.

. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Agent or any Secured Party or any

---

assignee of any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, each Agent, the Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and, in addition, each Hedge Counterparty shall be an express third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower pursuant to Article Five and the indemnification and payment provisions, including those of Article Eleven, the provisions of Section 15.10 and any other provision of this Agreement expressly stated to survive, shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the assignment, resignation or removal by or of the applicable parties hereto.

. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN §5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN AND THE FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS, AND ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED HEREUNDER IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.

. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANY OF THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS

---

CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. INSTEAD, ANY SUCH DISPUTE RESOLVED IN COURT WILL BE RESOLVED IN A BENCH TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY.

---

. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer and the Securities Intermediary hereby notifies the Borrower and the Servicer that pursuant to the laws, regulations and executive orders

---

of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof as are in effect from time to time applicable to financial institutions relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, including without limitation the Patriot Act and regulations promulgated by the Office of Foreign Asset Control (collectively, “AML Law”), it, and each other Lender, may be required to obtain, verify and record information that relates to the Borrower or the Servicer, which information includes the name and address of the such party, organizational documentation, director and shareholder information, and other information that will allow the Administrative Agent, each Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Securities Intermediary and each Lender to comply with requirements of AML Law (and the Borrower and the Servicer agree to provide any such necessary information). This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of AML Law and is effective for the Administrative Agent, each Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Securities Intermediary and each Lender.

. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement contains the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings other than any fee letter contemplated hereby. This Agreement shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) an original manual signature; (ii) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or (iii) any other electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code/UCC (collectively, “Signature Law”), in each case to the extent applicable. Each faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the UCC or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings.

. The parties hereto acknowledge the existence of the Intercreditor Agreement and that certain rights of the parties (other than the Securities Intermediary and the Backup Servicer (other than if it becomes the Successor Servicer)) may be subject to the provisions thereof.

---

. The 2023-1B SUBI Trustee shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement for purposes of amounts owed to it by the Borrower from time to time in accordance with Section 2.08 and subject to the other terms of this Agreement.

Section 15.01. Multiple Roles

. The parties expressly acknowledge and consent to Computershare, acting in the multiple roles of Backup Servicer (including potentially as Successor Servicer), Securities Intermediary and Third Party Allocation Agent under the Basic Documents. Computershare may, in such capacities, discharge its separate functions fully, without hindrance or regard to conflict of interest principles, duty of loyalty principles or other breach of fiduciary duties to the extent that any such conflict or breach arises from the performance by Computershare, of express duties set forth in the Basic Documents in any of such capacities, all of which defenses, claims or assertions are hereby expressly waived by the other parties hereto.
