2.03 Procedure for Borrowing.

(a) The applicable Borrower may request a borrowing to be secured by SBC Loans hereunder, on any Business Day during the period from and including the Effective Date through the end of the Funding Period, by delivering to the Lender, an irrevocable written

request for borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (“Request for Borrowing”); provided that, the Borrowers may not deliver more than one (1) Request for Borrowing per Business Day. Such Request for Borrowing must be received by the Lender prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date. Such Request for Borrowing shall (i) specify the amount of the Advance, and shall further specify the amount of such Advance that shall be a Tranche A Advance and a Tranche B Advance and shall further specify the amount of such Advance, (ii) attach an Asset Schedule identifying the Eligible Assets that the Borrowers propose to pledge to the Lender and to be included in the respective Borrowing Bases in connection with such borrowing, (iii) specify the requested Funding Date, (iv) certify that the SBA 7(a) Loan Notes, if any, have been delivered to the FTA pursuant to the Multiparty Agreement, and (v) specify such other matters as may be specified on the form of the Request for Borrowing or as may be reasonably requested by Lender from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof. The Borrowers shall indemnify Lender and hold it harmless against any Losses incurred by Lender as a result of any failure by Borrowers to timely deliver the Pledged Assets subject to such Request for Borrowing. Subject to Section 5 hereof, such borrowing, will then be made available to the Borrowers by the Lender transferring, via wire transfer, to the account of ReadyCap and to the account of Xxxxxxxxxx, in each case, as set forth in the Request for Borrowing, in the aggregate amount of such borrowing, in funds immediately available to the Borrowers.

(b) Upon the Borrowers’ Request for Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03(a), the Lender shall, assuming all conditions precedent set forth in this Section 2.03 and in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 have been met make a Tranche A Advance to ReadyCap or a Tranche B Advance to Xxxxxxxxxx on the requested Funding Date, in the amounts so requested; provided that such amounts would not cause a Borrowing Base Deficiency.

2.04 Margin Amount Maintenance; Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) If at any time the aggregate Collateral Value of Financed Assets that constitute Tranche A Assets, is less than the Repayment Amount on account of the related Tranche A Advances (a “Tranche A Margin Deficit”) and such Tranche A Margin Deficit is greater than the Margin Threshold, then the Lender may by notice to the Borrowers (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Tranche A Margin Call”), require the Borrowers to transfer to the Lender or its designee cash in an amount at least equal to the Tranche A Margin Deficit.

(b) If at any time the aggregate Collateral Value of Financed Assets that constitute Tranche B Assets, is less than the Repayment Amount on account of the related Tranche B Advances (a “Tranche B Margin Deficit”, together with a Tranche A Margin Deficit, and each a “Margin Deficit”) and such Tranche B Margin Deficit is greater than the Margin Threshold, then the Lender may by notice to Xxxxxxxxxx (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Tranche B Margin Call” together with a Tranche A Margin Call, and each a “Margin Call”), require the Xxxxxxxxxx to transfer to the Lender or its designee cash in an amount at least equal to the Tranche B Margin Deficit.

(c) If the Lender delivers Margin Call to the Borrowers on or prior to 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on any Business Day, then the Borrowers shall transfer cash to the Lender no

later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) that day. In the event the Lender delivers a Margin Call to the Borrowers after 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on any Business Day, the Borrowers shall be required to transfer cash no later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the subsequent Business Day. The Lender’s election, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to make a Margin Call at any time there is a Margin Deficit in excess of the Margin Threshold shall not in any way limit or impair its right to make a Margin Call at any time a Margin Deficit in excess of the Margin Threshold exists.

(d) Any cash transferred to the Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(b) above shall promptly be applied to reduce the Lender’s Advance Amount related to the applicable Tranche of each Financed Asset on a pro rata basis (based on the Advance Amount related to the applicable Tranche of such Financed Asset).

(e) The Lender hereby agrees that it will be responsible for calculations of the Collateral Value and Repayment Amount of each Financed Asset in order to determine the amount of payments due to the Lender under this Loan Agreement, including without limitation, pursuant to Section 2 hereof and the Lender will provide such calculations to the Borrowers upon request therefor. The Lender’s determination of the Collateral Value and the Repayment Amount of each Financed Asset shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) If at any time there has occurred, or there is discovered, an Environmental Issue, the Borrowers shall promptly but in any event, within one (1) Business Day, notify the Lender in writing, and shall prepay the Advance related to the Financed Asset subject to the Environmental Issue and remove such Financed Asset from this Loan Agreement.

2.05 Establishment of Collection Accounts and Waterfall.

(a) The Borrowers shall each, and shall cause each Servicer to, hold for the benefit of, and in trust for, the Lender all Income, including, without limitation, all Income received by or on behalf of any Borrower with respect to the Eligible Assets owned by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall cause each Servicer to deposit all such Income received on account of the Eligible Assets serviced or managed by such Servicer, in the applicable Servicer Account no later than two (2) Business Days following receipt. To the extent that a Borrower is holding any such Income, such Borrower shall deposit such Income (but excluding that portion of Income on account of any SBA Loan due to the SBA or the FTA, which portion of Income shall be remitted directly to the SBA or the FTA, as applicable) in the applicable Collection Account and subject to the applicable Collection Account Control Agreement. The Borrowers shall cause each Servicer to remit to the applicable Collection Account all Income (but excluding that portion of Income on account of any SBA Loan due to the SBA or the FTA, which portion of Income shall be remitted directly to the SBA or the FTA, as applicable) held in the related Servicer Account on each day that the related Servicer remits any portion of Income to the SBA or the FTA, which remittance shall occur no less frequently than once per calendar week as long as there is Income on deposit in the related Servicer Account. All Income shall be held in trust for the Lender and shall not be commingled with other property of the Borrowers or any Affiliate of the Borrowers. Funds deposited in any Collection Account during any month shall be held therein, in trust for Lender, until the next Payment Date with respect to each Tranche. Subject to the terms of the applicable Collection Account Control Agreement, funds on deposit in the

Collection Accounts shall be remitted to the Lender and applied as follows with respect to each Tranche: (x) first, from the Tranche A Collection Account on account of the Tranche A Advances in the following order of priority; (y) second, from the Tranche B Collection Account on account of the Tranche B Advances in the following order of priority and; (z) third from the Tranche B Collection Account to the extent that of any insufficient funds on account of the Tranche A Advances, prior to remittance to Xxxxxxxxxx pursuant to clause (vii) below, any additional funds in the Tranche B Collection Account to be applied on account of the Tranche A Advances in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to the Lender for the Lender’s fees and reimbursable expenses then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents with respect to such Tranche;

(ii) second, to the Lender for the interest then due and payable on the Advances for such Tranche made to a Borrower;

(iii) third, without limiting the rights of the Lender under Section 2.04 of this Loan Agreement, to the Lender, in the amount of any unpaid Margin Deficit with respect to such Tranche;

(iv) fourth, to the Lender in an amount equal to the principal amortization (including full and partial prepayments) relating to the Financed Assets for the prior calendar month (the “Principal Paydown Amounts”) and Liquidation Proceeds with respect to Liquidated Assets with respect to such Tranche as follows:

(A) with respect to Performing Eligible SBC Loans and Participation Interests, an amount equal to all Principal Paydown Amounts or Liquidation Proceeds, as applicable, multiplied by the Performing Advance Rate Percentage for each Eligible Asset based upon the type of Eligible Asset; and

(B) with respect to Non-Performing Eligible SBC Loans and Participation Interests, an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of all Principal Paydown Amounts or Liquidation Proceeds as applicable;

(v) fifth, subsequent to an Amortization Event or the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to such Tranche, one hundred percent (100%) of all Principal Paydown Amounts and Liquidation Proceeds and all other Income will be distributed to the Lender with respect to each Liquidated Asset.

(vi) sixth, all other Secured Obligations with respect to such Tranche;

(vii) seventh, to the applicable Borrower with respect to such Tranche.

(b) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to a Tranche, all funds in the Collection Account with respect to such Tranche shall be withdrawn and shall be applied as determined by Lender until all Secured Obligations with respect to such Tranche have been paid in full and then, paid to the applicable Borrower with respect to such Tranche.

(c) Principal Paydown Amounts and Liquidation Proceeds will be applied to reduce the Lender’s Advance Amount of the applicable Financed Asset to which it applies. If the amount distributed to the Lender in accordance with the preceding sentence is greater than the Lender’s Advance Amount with respect to such Financed Asset then such excess will be applied to all other Financed Assets within the same Tranche to reduce the Lender’s Advance Amount on a pro rata basis.

2.06 Repayment of Advances; Interest.

(a) ReadyCap hereby promises to repay in full on the Termination Date the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Advances and all other related Secured Obligations. Xxxxxxxxxx hereby promises to repay in full on the Termination Date the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Advances and the Tranche B Advances and all other Secured Obligations.

(b) For each applicable Tranche the applicable Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each related Advance in such Tranche for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for such Tranche. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Tranche, the applicable Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Lender interest at the applicable Default Rate on any principal of any related Advance in such Tranche and on any other amount payable by such Borrower hereunder or under the related Note that shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or by mandatory prepayment or otherwise) for the period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full. For each Tranche, accrued interest on each Advance shall be payable monthly in arrears on each Payment Date and on the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accruing at the Default Rate, with respect to either Tranche shall be payable to the Lender on demand.

(c) With respect to each Tranche, it is understood and agreed that, unless and until a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers shall be entitled to the proceeds of the Pledged Assets (other than as expressly set forth in Section 2.05 hereof).

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) ReadyCap’s obligations extend solely to the Tranche A Advances and the related Secured Obligations with respect thereto, and (ii) Xxxxxxxxxx’x obligations extend to both the Tranche A Advances and the Tranche B Advances and the all Secured Obligations with respect thereto. Accordingly Xxxxxxxxxx shall be jointly and severally liable for the full, complete and punctual performance and satisfaction of all obligations of either Borrower under this Loan Agreement. Accordingly, Xxxxxxxxxx waives any and all notice of creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Lender upon Xxxxxxxxxx’x joint and several liability. Xxxxxxxxxx waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Xxxxxxxxxx with respect to the obligations. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against ReadyCap, the Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies hereunder against ReadyCap or any other Person or against any collateral security for the obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Lender to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from ReadyCap or any

such other Person to realize upon any such collateral security or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of ReadyCap or any such other Person or any such collateral security, or right of offset, shall not relieve Xxxxxxxxxx of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Lender against Xxxxxxxxxx.

2.07 Optional Prepayments. With respect to each Tranche, the Advances are prepayable at any time, in whole or in part. Any amounts prepaid shall be applied to repay the outstanding principal amount of any Advances (together with interest thereon) until paid in full. Amounts repaid may not be reborrowed. If the Borrowers intend to prepay an Advance in whole or in part from a source other than the proceeds of the related Financed Assets, the Borrowers shall give two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lender. If such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice, shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.

2.08 Limitation on Types of Advances; Illegality. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any LIBOR Rate:

(a) the Lender determines, which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” in Section 1.01 hereof are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for Advances as provided herein; or

(b) it becomes unlawful for the Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain Advances hereunder using a LIBOR Rate; then the Lender shall give the Borrowers prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lender shall be under no obligation to make additional Advances, and the Borrowers shall, in its discretion, either prepay all such Advances as may be outstanding or pay interest on such Advances at a rate per annum equal to a rate selected by the Lender which it determines in its sole discretion most closely approximates the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

2.09 Requirements of Law.

(a) If any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to the Lender’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject the Lender to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Loan Agreement or any Transaction or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender in respect thereof;

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other

acquisition of funds by, any office of the Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder;

(iii) shall impose on the Lender any other condition that has an adverse effect on the Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender, by an amount which the Lender deems to be material, of entering, continuing or maintaining any Advance or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall promptly pay the Lender such additional amount or amounts as calculated by the Lender in good faith as will compensate the Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

(b) If the Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to the Lender’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as calculated by the Lender in good faith as will compensate the Lender for such reduction.

(c) If the Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by the Lender to the Borrowers shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

2.10 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrowers under or in respect of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents to which each Borrower is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless otherwise required by law. If any Borrower shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the Lender, (i) such Borrower shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased as

may be necessary so that after such Borrower has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.10) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Loan Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of the Lender, Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Lender is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of the Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).

(b) In addition, each Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added Taxes, or similar Taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(c) Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Lender for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable by the Borrowers under this Section 2.10 imposed on or paid by the Lender, and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by the Borrowers provided for in this Section 2.10(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by any Borrower under the indemnity set forth in this Section 2.10(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which the Lender makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrowers (or any Person making such payment on behalf of the Borrowers) shall furnish to the Lender for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(e) For purposes of subsection (e) of this Section 2.10, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. Each Lender (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) that either (i) is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) name does not include “Incorporated,” “Inc.,” “Corporation,” “Corp.,” “P.C.,” “N.A.,” “National Association,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Non-Exempt Lender”) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Borrowers the following properly completed and duly executed documents:

(i) in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that is not a United States person or is a foreign disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is entitled to provide such form, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN

with Part II completed in which the Lender claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or

(ii) in the case of an individual, (x) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D (a “Section 7 Certificate”) or (y) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or

(iii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments; or

(iv) in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 7 Certificate; or

(v) in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and (y) without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, “beneficial owners”), the documents that would be provided by each such beneficial owner pursuant to this section if such beneficial owner were the Lender; provided, however, that no such documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent the actual Lender is determined to be in compliance with the requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be provided in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, or the requirements of this clause (v) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary, all such determinations under this clause (v) to be made in the sole discretion of the Borrowers; provided, however, that the Lender shall be provided an opportunity to establish such compliance as reasonable; or

(vi) in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be provided by its beneficial owner pursuant to this Section if such beneficial owner were the Lender; or

(vii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that (A) is not a United States person and (B) is acting in the capacity as an “intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x)(i) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7

Certificate, and (y) if the intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf the “non-qualified intermediary” is acting the documents that would be provided by each such person pursuant to this Section if each such person were the Lender.

If the Lender provided a form pursuant to clause (e)(i)(x) and the form provided by the Lender at the time the Lender first becomes a party to this Loan Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a Participation Interest, the effective date thereof, indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other than “Non-Excluded Taxes” (“Excluded Taxes”) and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until the Lender provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If, however, on the date a Person becomes an assignee, successor or participant to this Loan Agreement, the Lender transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 2.10, then the Lender assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent (and only to the extent), that the Lender transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and the Lender assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes.

(f) For any period with respect to which the Lender has failed to provide the Borrowers with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) of this Section 2.10 (other than (i) if such failure is due to a change in any applicable Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided by the Lender or (ii) if it is legally inadvisable or otherwise commercially disadvantageous for the Lender to deliver such form, certificate or other document), the Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.10 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should the Lender become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Borrowers shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably request, to assist the Lender in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 2.10 shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 2.10 shall require the Lender to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

(h) Each party to this Loan Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat the Advances as indebtedness of the Borrowers that is secured by the Pledged Assets, and to treat the Pledged Assets as owned by the Borrowers for federal income tax purposes in the absence of a Default by the Borrowers. All parties to this Loan Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

Section 3. Payments; Computations; Etc.

3.01 Payments.

(c) The powers conferred on the Lender are solely to protect the Lender’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Lender to exercise any such powers. The Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Lender nor any of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to each Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

4.05 Performance by Lender of Borrowers’ Obligations. If a Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Loan Documents and the Lender may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of the Lender incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, shall be payable by the applicable Borrowers to the Lender on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations.

4.06 Proceeds.

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to Tranche A shall occur and be continuing, (i) all proceeds of the Tranche A Collateral received by ReadyCap consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by ReadyCap in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of ReadyCap, and shall forthwith upon receipt by ReadyCap be turned over to the Lender in the exact form received by ReadyCap (duly endorsed by ReadyCap to the Lender, if required) and (ii) any and all such proceeds received by the Lender (whether from ReadyCap or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of the Lender, be held by the Lender as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Lender against, the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) related to the Tranche A Advances, such application to be in such order as the Lender shall elect.

(b) If an Event of Default with respect to Tranche A or Tranche B shall occur and be continuing, (i) all proceeds of the Tranche B Collateral received by Xxxxxxxxxx consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by Xxxxxxxxxx in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of Xxxxxxxxxx, and shall forthwith upon receipt by Xxxxxxxxxx be turned over to the Lender in the exact form received by Xxxxxxxxxx (duly endorsed by Xxxxxxxxxx to the Lender, if required) and (ii) any and all such proceeds received by the Lender (whether from Xxxxxxxxxx or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of the Lender, be held by the Lender as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Lender against, the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), such application to be in such order as the Lender shall elect.

(c) Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Loan Agreement shall have been terminated shall be paid over to the applicable Borrower with respect to such Tranche or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. For purposes hereof, proceeds shall include, but not be limited to, all principal and interest payments, all prepayments and payoffs, insurance claims, Condemnation Proceeds, sale proceeds, real estate owned rents and any other income and all other amounts received with respect to the Collateral.

4.07 Remedies. If an Event of Default, with respect to a Tranche, shall occur and be continuing, the Lender may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Loan Agreement with respect to such Tranche and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the related Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lender without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon a Borrower or any other Person (each and all of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral with respect to such Tranche, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral with respect to such Tranche, or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral with respect to such Tranche so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Borrowers, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Each Borrower further agrees, at the Lender’s request, to assemble the Collateral with respect to such Tranche and make it available to the Lender at places which the Lender shall reasonably select, whether at a Borrower’s premises or elsewhere. The Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral with respect to such Tranche or in any way relating to the Collateral with respect to such Tranche or the rights of the Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Lender may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Lender of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-504(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code, need the Lender account for the surplus, if any, to the Borrowers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Lender arising out of the exercise by the Lender of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral with respect to such Tranche shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition. Each Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon as contemplated pursuant to Section 2.06(b) hereof) if the proceeds of any sale or other

disposition of the Collateral with respect to such Tranche are insufficient to pay the related Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Lender to collect such deficiency. Because each Borrower recognizes that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Collateral with respect to such Tranche on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Collateral with respect to such Tranche may not be liquid, each Borrower agrees that liquidation of the Collateral with respect to such Tranche does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, the Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Collateral with respect to such Tranche and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate the Lender to liquidate any Collateral with respect to such Tranche on the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to such Tranche or to liquidate all Collateral with respect to such Tranche in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any of the Lender’s rights or remedies.

4.08 Limitation on Duties Regarding Presentation of Collateral. The Lender’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Lender deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Lender nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of a Borrower or otherwise.

4.09 Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

4.10 Release of Security Interest. Upon termination of this Loan Agreement and repayment to the Lender of all Secured Obligations and the performance of all obligations under the Loan Documents, the Lender shall release its security interest in any remaining Collateral; provided that if any payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of a Borrower, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or a trustee or similar officer for, a Borrower or any substantial part of its Property, or otherwise, this Loan Agreement, all rights hereunder and the Liens created hereby shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as though such payments had not been made. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no Borrowing Base Deficiency would result therefrom, the Lender shall, at the written request of a Borrower given at least five (5) Business Days’ prior to the date of release and provided that the related proceeds of such SBC Loan are remitted to the applicable Collection Account and at least equal an allocation price mutually agreed to by the Lender and the Borrowers, release its security interest in a portion of the Collateral.

As to each SBC Loan included in the Borrowing Base on a Funding Date (and the related Security Agreement, SBC Loan Note, assignment of Security Agreement and Pledged Property), each Borrower shall be deemed to make the following representations and warranties to the Lender as of such date and as of each date Collateral Value is determined. With respect to any representations and warranties made to the best of each Borrower’s knowledge or actual knowledge, in the event that it is discovered that the circumstances with respect to the related SBC Loan are not accurately reflected in such representation and warranty notwithstanding the knowledge or lack of knowledge of such Borrower, then, notwithstanding that such representation and warranty is made to the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, such SBC Loan shall be assigned a Collateral Value of zero:

(1) Other than a Secondary Market Sale, such Borrower is the sole owner and holder of such SBC Loan subject to no liens, charges, mortgages encumbrances, or rights of others, except for the SBA with respect to SBA Loans;

(2) Subject to SBA approval with respect to the Tranche A Assets, such Borrower has the full right and authority to sell, assign, pledge, and transfer such SBC Loan;

(3) Such SBC Loan is not cross-collateralized with other Pledged Properties (other than pari passu loans originated as “piggyback loans” and identified in Borrower’s Disclosure Schedule I-(3)), not pledged as Collateral, and contains no equity participation by such Borrower; none of the SBC Loan Notes or Security Agreements provide for any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the Pledged Property or a sharing in the appreciation of the value of the Pledged Property. The indebtedness evidenced by the SBC Loan Note is not convertible to an ownership interest in the Pledged Property of the Obligor; and such Borrower has not financed nor does it own, directly, any equity of any form in the Pledged Property or the Obligor;

(4) Such SBC Loan was closed in accordance with the commitment letter between such Borrower and the Obligor and, with respect to an SBA Loan, the requirements of the SBA Authorization and Loan Agreement (the “ALA”), as such commitment letter and ALA may have been, modified in writing by such Borrower and the SBA. The proceeds of the SBC Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder and any and all requirements stated in such closing instructions, commitment letter, and, with respect to an SBA Loan, ALA as to the completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to the release of any escrow funds have been complied with. With respect to an SBA Loan, all guarantee fees required by the SBA have been paid. Any future advances made prior to the time such SBC Loan was pledged pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement have been consolidated with all outstanding amounts secured by the related Security Agreement and Pledged Property, as consolidated, has a single interest rate and single repayment term;

(5) The origination and servicing practices used by Originator with respect to such SBC Loan have been in all respects legal, proper, and prudent, and have met (a) customary

standards utilized by lenders in their commercial loan origination and servicing business, (b) with respect to an SBA Loan, the SBA Rules and Regulations, and (c) all requirements of the Servicing Agreement;

(6) Such SBC Loan was originated by Originator on the date of the related SBC Loan Note date and complies with all the terms, conditions, and requirements of the underwriting policies of such Borrower, with respect to an SBA Loan, the SBA and the ALA;

(8) To the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, with respect to such SBC Loan, each of the SBC Loan Note, the Security Agreement and other agreements executed in connection therewith is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). To the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, all parties to the Security Agreement, the SBC Loan Note and all other documents evidencing, securing and guaranteeing such SBC Loan had legal capacity to enter into such documents;

(9) The assignment of the Security Agreement, the assignment of the assignment of leases and rents, if any, and the UCC financing statement naming the Lender as assignee executed by such Borrower with respect to such SBC Loan are in recordable form and constitute the legal, valid and binding assignments of such Security Agreement, assignment of leases and rents, and UCC financing statements by such Borrower;

(10) The Security Agreement relating to such SBC Loan is a valid and enforceable first priority lien on the related Pledged Property, which Pledged Property is free and clear of all Liens having priority over the lien of the Security Agreement, except for (a) liens for real estate taxes and special assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of such Security Agreement, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally, (c) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Security Agreement, (d) with respect to an SBA Loan, such other Liens as permitted by the SBA and the Lender in writing and (e) exceptions that are generally acceptable to lending institutions in connection with their regular commercial lending activities and won’t materially adversely effect such activities other than as disclosed in Borrower’s Disclosure Schedule I-(10), the first priority Lien related thereto is in full force and effect; there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the first priority Security Agreement or the note relating thereto; and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder; and

(11) Other than as disclosed in Borrower’s Disclosure Schedule I-(11) the terms of the SBC Loan Note relating to such SBC Loan and the related Security Agreement have not been waived, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, or subordinated in any respect or rescinded, and the related Pledged Property has not been released from the Lien of such Borrower, nor has the Obligor been released from its obligations under the Security Agreement, in whole or in any part, in a manner which materially interferes with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Security Agreement or the use, enjoyment, value, or marketability of such Pledged Property, nor has any instrument been executed that would affect any such cancellation, subordination, rescission or release, with the exception of the written instruments which have been recorded in order to protect the interest of the SBA (with respect to an SBA Loan), the Lender and are part of such Borrower’s Asset File and approved by the SBA (with respect to an SBA Loan);

(12) Other than as disclosed in Borrower’s Disclosure Schedule I-(12), such SBC Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the SBC Loan Note or the Security Agreement relating thereto, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the related SBC Loan Note or such Security Agreement unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim, or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;

(13) If such SBC Loan is secured primarily by real property, such Pledged Property consists of a fee simple estate in real property and improvements thereon and the SBC Loan is either (a) not secured by a ground lease; or (b) if the Pledged Property is a leasehold estate and the fee owner does not encumber its fee interest with the related Security Agreement (i.e., does not execute the Security Agreement or “subordinate” its fee interest), the ground lease is a “financeable” ground lease and provides, among other things (1) for a remaining term of no less than ten (10) years from the maturity of the related SBC Loan, (2) that the lease will not be terminated until the Obligor has received notice of a default and has had a reasonable opportunity to cure or complete foreclosure, and fails to do so, (3) for a new lease on the same terms to the Obligor as tenant if the ground lease is terminated for any reason, (4) for non-merger of fee and leasehold interests, and (5) that insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds (from the fee interest as well as the leasehold interest) will be applied pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement). In addition, an estoppel and/or subordination and attornment agreement executed by the fee owner and satisfactory to the Lender has been obtained (unless specifically waived in writing by the Lender);

(14) There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Security Agreement with respect to such SBC Loan, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer, and municipal charges which previously became due and owing with respect to the related Pledged Property have been paid.

(15) All escrow deposits and payments relating to such SBC Loan, as applicable, are in the possession, or under the control, of such Borrower or its agent or bailee (with notice of the interest of such Borrower) and, except as disclosed on such Borrower’s Disclosure Schedule I-(15), there are no deficiencies in connection therewith;

(16) The information set forth in the Asset Schedule and the completed Asset Tape, is true and correct in all material respects;

(17) To the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, there is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Pledged Property relating to such SBC Loan. Such Pledged Property is being used for the purpose set forth in the Obligor’s loan application, or such other documents that such Borrower and the SBA (with respect to an SBA Loan) required at origination, and it is in good repair and free and clear of any damage that would affect materially and adversely the value of the Pledged Property as security for the SBC Loan or the use for which the premises were intended;

(18) The Pledged Property relating to such SBC Loan is free and clear of any material mechanics’ and material-men’s liens in the nature thereof, and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to any such liens, any of which liens are or may be prior to, or equal with, the Lien of such Borrower, except those which are insured against by such Borrower’s title insurance policy referred to in paragraph (24) below, and to the extent there exist non-material mechanics’ or material-men’s liens, such Borrower is diligently working to discharge;

(19) Reserved;

(20) At origination, the Obligor is in possession of all licenses, permits, and other authorizations necessary and required by applicable law for the conduct of its business. To the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, without investigation, all such licenses, permits, and authorizations are valid and in full force and effect. To the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, without investigation, all conditions on the Obligor’s part to be fulfilled under the terms of any lease of the Pledged Property have been satisfied;

(21) To the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, the Pledged Property relating to such SBC Loan is in compliance with and lawfully used and occupied by the owner thereof and/or by tenants under leases under any applicable zoning, building, or environmental law or regulation and all inspections, licenses and certificates required, whether by law, regulation or insurance standards to be made or issued with respect to such Pledged Property and with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriter certificates, have been made by or issued by the appropriate Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Pledged Property. Such Borrower has not received notification from any Governmental Authority that the Pledged Property is in material non-compliance with such laws or regulations, is being used, operated or occupied unlawfully or has failed to have or obtain such inspection, licenses or certificates, as the case may be. Such Borrower has not received notice of any violation or failure to conform with any such law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license, or certificate;

(22) If such SBC Loan is secured primarily by real property, the Obligor is the owner and holder of the landlord’s interest under any lease for use and occupancy of all or any portion of the Pledged Property, as applicable. Each Security Agreement relating thereto provides for the appointment of a receiver for rents in the event of default or allows the mortgagee thereunder to enter into possession to collect the rents. Neither such Borrower nor the Obligor has made any assignments of the landlord’s interest in any such lease or any portion of the rents, additional

rents, charges, issues, or profits due and payable or to become due and payable under any such lease, which assignments are presently outstanding and have priority over such Security Agreement or any assignment of leases, rents, and profits given in connection with the origination of the SBC Loan, other than as may be disclosed in such Borrower’s title insurance policy referred to in paragraph (24) below. An assignment of leases and/or rents and any security agreement, chattel mortgage, or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the SBC Loan establishes and creates a valid and enforceable (a) Lien with the priority set forth on the SBC Loan Schedule and (b) security interest on the Pledged Property described therein; except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy or other laws affecting creditor’s rights generally or by the application of the rules of equity. If the Pledged Property covers furniture, fixtures, equipment or personal property, financing statements to create a valid Lien (with the priority set forth on the SBC Loan Schedule) against such Property have been filed and/or recorded;

(23) Reserved;

(24) If such SBC Loan is secured primarily by real property, the related Pledged Property is covered by a lender’s title insurance policy, insuring that the related Security Agreement is a valid Lien on such Pledged Property with the priority set forth on the SBC Loan Schedule, subject only to the exceptions stated therein and to the exceptions contained in paragraph (10) of this Part 1 of Schedule 1. Such title insurance policy is in full force and effect, is freely assignable and will inure to the benefit of the owner of the SBC Loan. Such title insurance policy insures the Pledged Property for the original principal amount of the SBC Loan after all advances of principal. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has either deleted the standard survey exception or has been marked to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey leading. No person has done any act, either by commission or omission, and such Borrower has no knowledge of any fact, which would materially impair the coverage of any such title insurance policy. The title policy has been marked to delete the intervening lien exception. Such Borrower, its successors or assigns shall be the only named insured of such lender’s title insurance policy;

(25) The Pledged Property relating to such SBC Loan is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy issued by a generally acceptable carrier, providing coverage consistent with the Originator’s normal lending practices and as required by the SBA (with respect to an SBA Loan) against other risks insured against by persons operating like properties in the locality of the Pledged Property, in an amount not less than the amount required by the SBA (with respect to an SBA Loan). If the SBC Loan is secured by an interest in real property and any portion of such Pledged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (w) the outstanding principal balance of the SBC Loan that has a first priority Lien, (x) the full insurable value of the Pledged Property, and (y) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, but a least (z) the amount required by the SBA (with respect to an SBA Loan). All such insurance policies (each, a “Hazard Insurance Policy”) shall contain a standard

“New York” mortgagee clause naming such Borrower, its successors and assigns (including without limitation, subsequent owners of such SBC Loan), as mortgagee. All premiums on any Hazard Insurance Policy have been paid. Each Hazard Insurance Policy requires prior notice to the insured of termination or cancellation, and no such notice has been received. The Security Agreement relating to such SBC Loan obligates the related Obligor to maintain all such insurance at the Obligor’s sole cost and expense. There have been no acts or omissions that would impair the coverage of any such Hazard Insurance Policy or the benefits of the to the Security Agreement or any Hazard Insurance Policy endorsement;

(26) To such Borrower’s best knowledge, solely with respect to each Performing Eligible SBC Loan and except as disclosed in Borrower’s Disclosure Schedule I-(26), there is no pending litigation or other legal proceedings involving the Obligor that can reasonably be expected to adversely affect the current value or marketability of such Pledged Property or the SBC Loan;

(27) Reserved;

(28) Other than as disclosed in Borrower’s Disclosure Schedule I-(28), there is no default, breach, violation, or event of acceleration existing under the Security Agreement or the SBC Loan Note relating to such SBC Loan and no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute such a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. Neither such Borrower nor any other Person has waived any material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration of any of the foregoing, and, pursuant to the terms of the SBC Loan, such Security Agreement or such SBC Loan Note, no Person other than the holder of such SBC Loan Note may declare an event of default or accelerate the indebtedness under the SBC Loan, the Security Agreement, or the SBC Loan Note. The Obligor is not in default on any debt obligation owed or owing to such Borrower.

(29) The SBC Loan Note and the related Security Agreement contain customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof or the secured party thereunder adequate for the realization against the Pledged Property of the benefits of such security, including but not limited to the following: (a) if such Security Agreement is a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, including the power of sale and/or (b) by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure, and there is no exemption available to the Obligor which would interfere with such right to foreclose;

(30) Such Borrower has inspected or has caused to be inspected the related Pledged Property no earlier than twelve (12) months prior to the initial Funding Date;

(31) Other than as disclosed in Borrower’s Disclosure Schedule I-(31), such Borrower has no knowledge, nor has it received any notice, that any Obligor is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or, if such Borrower has such knowledge or received such a notice, such fact was disclosed to the Lender in writing prior to the Lender’s acceptance of such SBC Loan and the origination;

(32) At the time of the origination of such SBC Loan, (a) all amenities, access routes or other items crucial to the appraised value of (the Pledged Property were under the direct control of the Obligor or are public property, and (b) the Pledged Property was contiguous to a physically open, dedicated all-weather public street, had all necessary permits and approvals for ingress and egress, was adequately serviced by public water, sewer systems and utilities and was on a separate tax parcel, separate and apart from any other Property owned by the Obligor or any other person;

(33) If the Security Agreement relating to such SBC Loan is a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has either been properly designated and currently so serves or may be substituted in accordance with applicable law. Except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Obligor, no fees or expenses are payable by such Borrower or the Lender to such trustee;

(34) To the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, there exists no violation of any local, state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation;

(35) To the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, the Security Agreement relating to such SBC Loan contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the SBC Loan in the event that the Pledged Property relating thereto is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee or pledgee thereunder;

(36) The appraisal of the Pledged Property relating to such SBC Loan signed prior to the closing of the SBC Loan by a qualified appraiser and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the SBC Loan was originated; provided, however, that such requirement shall be waived if the Pledged Property is not used in the calculation of combined loan to value for purposes of the definitions of “Eligible Tranche A Asset” and “Eligible Tranche B Asset”;

(37) To the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, if such SBC Loan is secured by Pledged Property which is primarily real property occupied by commercial tenants under Leases, each such tenant, at origination, was conducting business only in that portion of the Pledged Property covered by its Lease. To the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, no commercial tenant has the benefit of a non-disturbance or similar recognition agreement, or if such agreement exists, there are no circumstances or conditions with respect to such tenant or the applicable lease that could cause a prudent lender to refuse to grant such agreement; and

(38) No Performing Eligible SBC Loan has no more than two (2) monthly payments delinquent (i.e., no single monthly payment was more than 59 days past due).

Schedule 1-B

Representations and Warranties re: Participation Interests

As to each Participation Interest included in the Borrowing Base on a Funding Date (and the related Participation Agreement), each Borrower shall be deemed to make the following representations and warranties to the Lender as of such date and as of each date Collateral Value is determined. With respect to any representations and warranties made to the best of each Borrower’s knowledge or actual knowledge, in the event that it is discovered that the circumstances with respect to the related Participation Interest are not accurately reflected in such representation and warranty notwithstanding the knowledge or lack of knowledge of such Borrower, then, notwithstanding that such representation and warranty is made to the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, such Participation Interest shall be assigned a Collateral Value of zero:

(1) To the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, if the Participation Interest represents a Participation Interest in an SBC Loan (other than a Participant Loan), the representations and warranties with respect to the related SBC Loan set forth on Schedule 1-A are true and correct in all material respects;

Schedule 3

Duties of Borrowers with Respect to the SBA Loans

1. Accepted Servicing Standards.

Each Borrower shall employ customary and usual standards of prudent institutional commercial loan services with the objective of maximizing the timely recovery of interest and principal, regardless of (a) relationship of such Borrower to the related mortgagor, or (b) such Borrower’s right to receive compensation for its services. Such procedures shall be subject to (in the priority set forth herein) and in compliance with applicable law, SBA Rules and Regulations and Accepted Servicing Practices, and shall be acceptable to the Lender.

Each Borrower shall cause all financing statements, continuation statements and other instruments to be executed and delivered, and take such other actions as required or advisable to maintain, preserve and protect such Borrower’s interest and the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral for the benefit of the Lender.

2. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of each Borrower to be Held in Trust.

Each Borrower shall maintain a servicing file for each SBA Loan held as Collateral. Further, each Borrower will grant a security interest in all rights relating to such servicing files to the extent of the Unguaranteed Portion to the Lender. Upon termination of a Borrower’s activities with respect to any Collateral, such Borrower shall promptly deliver the related servicing file to the successor servicer and directed by the SBA (as required).

All documents and funds collected by, held by, or under the control of each Borrower in respect of the Unguaranteed Portion of any SBA Loan, shall be held by such Borrower for and on behalf of the Lender, as secured party, and shall be forwarded as required under the Collection Account Control Agreements and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of such Borrower subject to the Lien of the Lender.

3. Release of SBA Loan Files.

Each Borrower shall report each payment in full received in respect of any SBA Loan to Lender on a monthly basis on the monthly Remittance Report. Upon such payment in full, each Borrower is authorized to give, as agent, bailee and custodian for the Lender, an instrument of satisfaction regarding the Pledged Property subject to the security interest created under the related Security Agreement to the person(s) entitled to such instrument. The release of the SBA Loan File shall also be done consistently with the SBA Rules and Regulations.

4. Tax Reporting.

Each Borrower shall comply with all tax reporting requirements of the Obligor with respect to the SBA Loans.

5. Reports to the Lender.

Each Borrower shall, by electronic transmission, furnish to the Lender on behalf of such Borrower, twenty-five (25) days after the end of each calendar month in form reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, the payment history and collateral tape (substantially in the form agreed upon by the parties).

In addition, each Borrower shall maintain all operating statements, rent rolls and financial statements of the Obligor and provide such statements to the Lender upon request (or otherwise provide the Lender access to such statements upon reasonable notice). Each Borrower shall diligently pursue receipt of all financial information required from the Obligor.

6. Reports of each Borrower Annual Officer’s Certificate.

Each Borrower will deliver to the Lender an “Officer’s Certificate” executed by a Responsible Officer by April 30th of each year certifying compliance by such Borrower with Accepted Servicing Practices in the prior calendar year.

7. Independent Review of Borrowers’ Operations.

Upon the request of the Lender, each Borrower shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish a statement to the Lender to the effect that such firm has examined certain records and documents relating to such Borrower’s performance of its servicing obligations under Accepted Servicing Practices with respect to the SBA Loans and that, on the basis of such examination, such servicing has been conducted in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Such request shall be made no more frequently than annually. The cost of such report shall be borne by the Borrowers.

8. Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Policy and Security Agreement Impairment Insurance.

Each Borrower shall maintain, at its sole cost and expense, a fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy which affords coverage to all directors, officers and employees. Such policy shall be in a form and in the amount that would meet the requirements of the SBA (as appropriate) and in such form as is customary for servicers of commercial loans. Each Borrower shall immediately report in writing to the Lender any material changes which may occur in such policy. Further, each Borrower shall immediately report to the Lender any embezzlement, fraud or irregularities relating to the servicing of the SBA Loans.

Each Borrower shall cause insurance to be maintained on the Pledged Property securing the SBA Loans in accordance with the SBA Rules and Regulations. In the event that a Borrower shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy (which policy and insurer shall be acceptable to the Lender) insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the Pledged Property securing the SBA Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant the SBA Rules and Regulations and otherwise complies with the SBA Rules and Regulations, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in this paragraph. Upon request of the Lender, each Borrower shall cause to be delivered to the Lender a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from

the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lender.

All insurance carriers with respect to the SBA Rules and Regulations must be fully licensed in the applicable jurisdiction(s) and otherwise be acceptable to the Lender. Currently, the Lender’s standards require the insurance carriers to be “A” rated for claims paying ability by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, Fitch Investors Service L.P., or Duff & Xxxxxx Credit Rating Co. If not rated by these rating agencies, each insurer is required to have a minimum policy rating of “A” and a minimum financial class of “VIII” by A.M. Best Co.
