RECITALS:

A.    The Seller, U.S. Bank, and the Agent are parties to an Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of September 16, 2016 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of August 10, 2017, that certain Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of August 9, 2018, that certain Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of May 23, 2019, that certain Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of May 21, 2020, that certain Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of September 24, 2020, and that certain Sixth Amendment to Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of March 25, 2021, and as further amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Repurchase Agreement”).

22.19. Erroneous Payments.

(a)    If the Agent notifies a Buyer or any other holder of any Obligations (each, a “Buyer Party”), or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Buyer Party (any such Buyer Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”), that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not such error is known to any Payment Recipient) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Payment Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)    Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), if any Payment Recipient receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) that (x) is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) such Payment

2

Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error (in whole or in part):

(i)    (A) in the case of immediately preceding clause (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) in the case of immediately preceding clause (z), an error has been made, in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)    such Payment Recipient shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 22.19(b).

(c)    Each Buyer Party hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Buyer Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Agent to such Buyer Party from any source, against any amount due to the Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d)    An Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations, except to the extent such Erroneous Payment comprises funds received by the Agent from a Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(e)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Payment Recipient hereby agrees not to assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine, with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment.

(f)    Each party’s agreements under this Section 22.19 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Buyer, the termination of the Commitments, or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of any or all Obligations.
