(a)Funding by Purchasers; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Purchaser, prior to the proposed date of any Incremental Purchase, that such Purchaser will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Purchaser’s Percentage of the Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interest then being purchased, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Purchaser has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 1.2 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Seller a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Purchaser has not in fact made its share of the applicable Incremental Purchase available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Purchaser and the Seller severally agree to pay to the 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 the Seller to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Purchaser, the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Seller, the Alternate Base Rate. If the Seller and such Purchaser shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Seller the amount of such interest paid by the Seller for such period. If such Purchaser pays its share of the applicable Incremental Purchase to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Purchaser’s share included in such Incremental Purchase. Any payment by the Seller shall be without prejudice to any claim the Seller may have against a Purchaser that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(b)Payments by Seller; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Seller prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Purchasers

hereunder that the Seller will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Seller has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Purchasers the amount due. In such event, if the Seller has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Purchasers severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Purchaser, 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 the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

It is expressly understood that each Reinvestment shall, unless otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser, occur automatically on each day that the Servicer shall receive any Collections without the requirement that any further action be taken on the part of any Person and notwithstanding the failure of Seller to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions precedent in respect of such Reinvestment. The failure of Seller to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions precedent in respect of any Reinvestment shall give rise to a right of each Purchaser, which right may be exercised at any time on demand of such Purchaser, to rescind the related purchase and direct Seller to pay the Administrative Agent (for distribution back to such Purchaser its) such Purchaser’s Percentages of the Collection prior to the Amortization Date that shall have been applied to the affected Reinvestment.
