ARTICLE II — THE LIQUIDITY FACILITY

Section 2.01 — Commitment

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender hereby commits to make Advances to the Borrower during the Draw Period in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed the Maximum Commitment of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) at any time. The obligation of the Lender to make each Advance is subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the Lender) of all applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV.

(b) The facility established under this Agreement is a revolving facility. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, amounts repaid by the Borrower during the Draw Period may be reborrowed by the Borrower during the Draw Period, provided that all conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied at the time of each such reborrowing and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Advances at any time shall not exceed the Maximum Commitment.

(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement provides a liquidity facility only. The facility established hereunder is not a guaranty or credit enhancement for the Notes and shall not be construed as such. The purpose of this facility is to provide short-term liquidity to the Borrower to cover temporary timing mismatches in Collections available to make timely payments on the Notes in accordance with the Payment Waterfall. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate the Lender to make any Advance for the purpose of covering credit losses on the Receivables.

Section 2.02 — Purpose

(a) The proceeds of each Advance shall be used solely to fund temporary shortfalls in Collections available to make timely interest payments on the Class A Notes, Class B Notes, and Class C Notes in accordance with the Payment Waterfall set forth in the Indenture. The Borrower shall not apply the proceeds of any Advance for any other purpose without the prior written consent of the Lender.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, proceeds of Advances may also be used to fund the Borrower's pro rata share of Indenture Trustee fees and expenses and Servicing fees payable pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, in each case solely to the extent that such amounts are senior in priority to interest payments on the Notes in the Payment Waterfall as set forth in the Indenture.

(c) Proceeds of Advances shall not, under any circumstances, be used to (i) make principal payments on the Notes, (ii) cover credit losses on the Receivables, (iii) make distributions to the sole member of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, or (iv) make any payment not expressly permitted under this Section 2.02.

Section 2.03 — Advances

(a) Minimum Advance Amount. The minimum amount of any single Advance shall be Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000); provided, however, that if the Available Commitment is less than $500,000, an Advance may be made in the amount of the remaining Available Commitment.

(b) Maximum Frequency. The Borrower shall not deliver more than two (2) Advance Requests in any single calendar month.

(c) Deposit. Each Advance shall be deposited by the Lender into the Liquidity Reserve Account maintained at Calvoneth Trust Company, N.A., as securities intermediary, pursuant to the Account Control Agreement. The Liquidity Reserve Account details are set forth in Schedule I hereto.

(d) Funding. Each Advance shall be funded by the Lender in immediately available funds by no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Advance Date.

Section 2.04 — Interest on Advances

(a) Interest Rate. Each outstanding Advance shall bear interest from and including the date of such Advance to but excluding the date of repayment in full at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus 150 basis points (1.50%) (the "Interest Rate").

(b) Day Count. Interest on each Advance shall accrue on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed during each Interest Period (including the first day of such Interest Period and excluding the last day of such Interest Period).

(c) Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on outstanding Advances shall be payable on each Payment Date from Collections in accordance with the Payment Waterfall set forth in the Indenture. The parties acknowledge and agree that repayment of interest on liquidity draws under this Agreement is senior in the Payment Waterfall to principal payments on the Notes but subordinate to Indenture Trustee fees and expenses, Servicing fees payable under the Servicing Agreement, and interest on the Notes.

(d) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the interest rate applicable to all outstanding Advances shall automatically increase by two hundred (200) basis points per annum (i.e., to a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus 350 basis points (3.50%)), without the requirement of notice from the Lender (the "Default Rate"). Default interest shall accrue from the date of the Event of Default until such Event of Default has been cured or waived in writing by the Lender.

Section 2.05 — Commitment Fee

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") equal to 0.25% per annum on the daily average undrawn amount of the Maximum Commitment during each Interest Period. For the avoidance of doubt, at the full $25,000,000 commitment undrawn, the annualized Commitment Fee equals Sixty-Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($62,500).

(b) The Commitment Fee shall accrue from and including the Closing Date and shall be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed over a 360-day year.

(c) The Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Commitment Fee Payment Date from Collections in accordance with the Payment Waterfall set forth in the Indenture. To the extent Collections are insufficient to pay the Commitment Fee in full on any Commitment Fee Payment Date, the unpaid amount shall accrue and be payable on the next succeeding Commitment Fee Payment Date on which Collections are sufficient for such purpose (without duplication).

(d) The Commitment Fee is earned and non-refundable once accrued, regardless of whether any Advance is subsequently made or whether this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the Draw Period.

Section 2.06 — Reduction and Termination of Commitment

(a) Voluntary Reduction. The Borrower may, upon at least five (5) Business Days' prior irrevocable written notice to the Lender (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee), permanently reduce the Maximum Commitment in whole or in part; provided that (i) each partial reduction shall be in a minimum amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and (ii) the Maximum Commitment, after giving effect to any such reduction, shall not be less than zero. Upon any such reduction, the Commitment Fee shall be calculated on the reduced Maximum Commitment amount from and after the effective date of such reduction.

(b) Automatic Termination. The Commitment shall automatically and permanently terminate on the earliest to occur of: (i) the last day of the Draw Period; (ii) the Legal Final Maturity Date; (iii) the date on which all Notes have been paid in full and all amounts owing under the Indenture have been discharged; (iv) the date on which the Lender terminates the Commitment following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.02; or (v) the date on which the Borrower terminates the Commitment by irrevocable written notice to the Lender and the Indenture Trustee.

(c) Upon any termination of the Commitment, all outstanding Advances, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, Commitment Fees, and other amounts owing to the Lender hereunder, shall remain outstanding and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement until paid in full.

Section 2.07 — Repayment of Advances

(a) Repayment on Payment Dates. All outstanding Advances, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be repaid on each Payment Date from Collections in accordance with the Payment Waterfall set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall apply Collections available on each Payment Date in the priority specified in the Indenture, and amounts allocable to repayment of Advances and accrued interest thereon shall be remitted directly to the Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in Schedule I.

(b) Priority. The parties acknowledge and agree that repayment of Advances (both principal and interest) is prioritized in the Payment Waterfall above principal payments on the Notes but below Indenture Trustee fees and expenses, Servicing fees payable under the Servicing Agreement, and interest payments on the Notes. The specific priority of payments is set forth in the Indenture and is incorporated herein by reference.

(c) Final Repayment. All outstanding Advances, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, Commitment Fees, and other amounts owing to the Lender hereunder, must be repaid in full on or before the Legal Final Maturity Date, which is forty-two (42) months from the Closing Date.

(d) Voluntary Prepayment. The Borrower may prepay outstanding Advances in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, upon one (1) Business Day's prior written notice to the Lender. Each voluntary prepayment shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.

Section 2.08 — Computation of Interest and Fees

(a) All interest and Commitment Fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) during the applicable period. Each determination by the Lender of an interest rate, fee, or other amount payable hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

(b) Interest shall accrue on each Advance from and including the date such Advance is made to but excluding the date such Advance is repaid in full.

Section 2.09 — Evidence of Indebtedness

(a) The Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender resulting from each Advance made hereunder, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to the Lender from time to time. The entries in such account or accounts maintained by the Lender shall constitute prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded, absent manifest error.

(b) No promissory note shall be required to evidence the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement; provided, however, that upon the request of the Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender a promissory note in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender evidencing the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.
