CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

PREAMBLE. This Credit and Security Agreement (herein, together with all schedules and exhibits hereto, and as it may be amended or modified from time to time, called this “Agreement”), dated as May 11, 2018 (the “Signing Date”), is made by and among (i) SACHEM CAPITAL CORP., a New York corporation (“Sachem”; and together with each Person joined hereto as a Borrower from time to time, collectively the “Borrowers”, and each, a “Borrower”); (ii) the Corporate Guarantors signatory hereto (collectively with Borrowers, each, a “Loan Party” and collectively, the “Loan Parties”); (iii) the financial institutions who are now or hereafter become parties hereto as lenders (collectively, the “Lenders” and each individually, a “Lender”); (iv) XXXXXXX BUSINESS CREDIT CORPORATION, a New York corporation (“WBCC”), individually, as a Lender hereunder and as agent for itself and each other Lender Party (as hereinafter defined) (WBCC, acting in such agency capacity, the “Agent”); and (v) BANKWELL BANK, a Connecticut state non-member bank, individually, as a Lender hereunder and as co-syndication agent (“Co-Syndication Agent”).

STATEMENT OF THE TRANSACTION. Capitalized terms used in this statement of the transaction shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Annex One. Borrowers have applied to WBCC for financing to retire the Existing Loans, to pay closing costs associated herewith, and to supplement its working capital needs on an ongoing basis. WBCC, as a Lender hereunder and as Agent for itself and each other Lender Party, and each other Person from time to time party hereto as a Lender, has agreed to provide this financing, subject, however, to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and undertakings herein contained, Loan Parties, Lenders and Agent, each intending to be legally bound hereby, hereby covenant and agree as follows:

DEFINITIONS.

1.1 Accounting Terms. As used in this Agreement, any Note, or any certificate, report or Other Document, accounting terms not defined in Annex One, Annex Two or elsewhere in this Agreement and accounting terms partly defined in Annex One or Annex Two (to the extent not defined) shall have the respective meanings given to them under GAAP; provided, however, whenever such accounting terms are used for the purposes of determining compliance with financial covenants in this Agreement, such accounting terms shall be defined in accordance with GAAP as applied in preparation of the Historical Financial Statements. Certain other definitions which are used in the calculation of the Financial Covenants are set forth in Section 8.1.

1.2 General Terms. Certain other terms which are capitalized hereinbelow, but not expressly defined hereinbelow, shall have the meanings given to such terms in Annex One and in Annex Two, Part II.

1.3 Uniform Commercial Code Terms. All terms used herein and defined in the Uniform Commercial Code shall have the meanings given them therein unless otherwise defined herein. Without limitation of the foregoing, the terms “accounts,” “chattel paper,” “instruments,” “general intangibles,” “payment intangibles,” “commercial tort claims,” “securities,” “investment property,” “documents,” “supporting obligations,” “deposit accounts,” “payment intangibles,” “software,” “security entitlements,” “letter of credit rights,” “inventory,” “equipment” and “fixtures,” as and when used in the description of Collateral, shall have the meanings given to such terms in Articles 8 or 9 (as applicable) of the Uniform Commercial Code.

ADVANCES, PAYMENTS.

2.1 Revolving Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender, severally and not jointly, will make Revolving Advances available to Borrowers in aggregate amounts outstanding at any time equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Amount, or (ii) the Borrowing Base, provided that in no event shall the obligation of any Lender to make Revolving Advances exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. The Revolving Advances shall be evidenced by one or more secured promissory notes issued to each Lender in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment (the “Revolving Credit Notes”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.

2.2 Procedure for Borrowing. To request a Revolving Advance hereunder, Borrower Representative on behalf of each Borrower shall notify Agent of such request pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2 (each a “Notice of Borrowing”) delivered not later than 11:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date. Each Notice of Borrowing shall (1) specify the requested Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day), (2) specify the principal amount of such Revolving Advance, (3) attach a Mortgage Loan Schedule identifying the Eligible Mortgage Loans that the Borrowers propose to pledge to the Agent and to be included in the Borrowing Base in connection with such borrowing, and (4) be accompanied by all of the documents described in, and otherwise be subject to the full satisfaction of the Funding Requirements. A Revolving Advance can be requested in any amount. Should any amount required to be paid as interest hereunder, or as fees or other charges under this Agreement or any Other Document with any Lender Party, or with respect to any other Obligation, become due, the same shall be deemed a request for a Revolving Advance as of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such interest, fee, charge or Obligation under this Agreement or any Other Document with any Lender Party, and such request shall be irrevocable. Agent shall cause the proceeds of such Revolving Advance to be paid to such Person.

2.3 Disbursement of Advance Proceeds. All Revolving Advances shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place Agent may designate from time to time and, together with any and all other Obligations of Borrowers to Agent or Lenders, shall be charged to Borrowers Account on Agent’s books. During the Term, Borrowers may use the Revolving Advances by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance requested by Borrowers or deemed to have been requested by Borrowers under Section 2.2(a) hereof shall, with respect to requested Revolving Advances to the extent Lenders make such Revolving Advances, be made available to the applicable Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to such Borrower’s operating account at the Bank or such other bank as Borrower Representative may designate following notification to Agent, in immediately available federal funds or other immediately available funds or, with respect to Revolving Advances deemed to have been requested by any Borrower, be disbursed to Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request.

2.4 Maximum Revolving Advances. The aggregate balance of all Revolving Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the Maximum Revolving Amount or (b) the Borrowing Base.

2.5 Repayment of Revolving Advances.

(a) All Revolving Advances shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term, subject to earlier prepayment, in whole or in part, as provided in this Agreement or in any Other Document.

(b) All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable hereunder, or under any of the Other Documents shall be made to Agent at the Payment Office not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the due date therefor in lawful money of the United States of America in federal funds or other funds immediately available to Agent. Agent shall have the right to effectuate payment on any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder by charging Borrowers’ Account or by making Revolving Advances as provided in Section 2.2(a) hereof.

(c) Borrowers shall be obliged to pay principal, interest, fees and all other amounts payable hereunder, or under any Other Documents as and when due, without any deduction whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any deduction for any setoff or counterclaim.

2.6 Repayment of Overadvances. The aggregate balance of Revolving Advances outstanding at any time in excess of the maximum amount of Revolving Advances permitted to be outstanding at any time hereunder (herein “Overadvances”), shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred.

2.7 Statement of Account. Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account (“Borrowers’ Account”) in the name of Borrowers in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Revolving Advance made by Agent or Lenders and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by Agent to record the date and amount of any Revolving Advance shall not adversely affect Agent or any Lender. Each month, Agent shall send to Borrower Representative a statement showing the accounting for the Revolving Advances made, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between Agent, Lenders and Borrowers, during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon Borrowers in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between Agent, Lenders and Borrowers unless Agent receives a written statement of Borrowers’ specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by Borrower Representative.

2.8 Additional Payments. Any sums expended by Agent or any Lender due to any Borrower’s failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document, may be charged to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance and added to the Obligations.

2.9 Manner of Borrowing and Payment; Settlements.

(a) Each borrowing of Revolving Advances requested and made shall be advanced according to the Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders having Revolving Commitments in regard thereto (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.12). Each payment (including each prepayment) by Borrowers to Agent on account of the principal of the Revolving Advances shall be applied by Agent to the Revolving Advances pro rata according to the Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders having Revolving Commitments in regard thereto (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.12). Except as otherwise may be expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrowers on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made to Agent on behalf of the Lenders at the Payment Office, in each case on or prior to 4:00 p.m., in Dollars and in immediately available funds.

(b) Promptly after receipt by Agent of a request or deemed request for a Revolving Advance pursuant to Section 2.2, Agent shall notify Lenders holding Revolving Commitments of its receipt of such requests specifying the information provided by Borrower Representative and the apportionment among Lenders of the requested Revolving Advance as determined by Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Advance to Agent such that Agent is able to, and Agent shall, to the extent the applicable Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and, subject to Section 9.2, fund such Revolving Advance to Borrowers in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office prior to the close of business, on the applicable Funding Date; provided that if any applicable Lender fails to remit such funds to Agent in a timely manner, Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Advance of such Lender on such Funding Date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.9(c).

(c) If any Lender or Participant (for purposes of this section, a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Revolving Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender having the same Revolving Commitment Percentage, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Revolving Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from such other Lender(s) a participation in such portion of each such other Lender’s Revolving Advances, or shall provide such other Lender(s) with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with such other Lender(s); provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned by the Lender(s) receiving same to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each benefited Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Revolving Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

(d) Unless Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender having a Revolving Commitment that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of Revolving Advances available to Agent, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to Agent on the next Settlement Date and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. Agent will promptly notify Borrowers of its receipt of any such notice from a Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.3 and Section 2.9 of this Agreement, each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced by Agent and each payment by Borrowers on account of Revolving Advances shall be applied, first, to those Revolving Advances (as the case may be) advanced by Agent, but solely to the extent Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Lenders for such Revolving Advance in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.9. On or before 1:00 P.M., on each Settlement Date commencing with the first Settlement Date following the Closing Date, Agent and Lenders having Revolving Commitments shall make certain payments as follows: with respect to Revolving Advances (A) if the aggregate amount of new Revolving Advances, if any, made by Agent during the preceding Week exceeds the aggregate amount of repayments applied to outstanding Revolving Advances during such preceding Week, then each such Lender shall provide Agent with funds in an amount equal to its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the difference between (1) such Revolving Advances and (2) such repayments and (B) if the aggregate amount of repayments applied to outstanding Revolving Advances during such Week exceeds the aggregate amount of new Revolving Advances made during such Week, then Agent shall provide each such Lender with funds in an amount equal to its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the difference between (1) such repayments and (2) such Revolving Advances. Each such Lender shall be entitled to earn interest on outstanding Revolving Advances which it has funded at the Revolving Interest Rate from the Funding Date until the date such Revolving Advances or paid or deemed paid by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.5(b). Agent shall submit to each such Lender a certificate with respect to payments received and Revolving Advances made during the Week immediately preceding such Settlement Date. Such certificate of Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such amount is made available to Agent on a date after such next Settlement Date, such Lender shall pay to Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted by Agent, times (ii) such amount, times and (iii) the number of days from and including such Settlement Date to the date on which such amount becomes immediately available to Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing hereunder shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Settlement Date, Agent shall be entitled to recover such an amount, with interest thereon at the Revolving Interest Rate, on demand from Borrowers; provided, however, that Agent’s right to such recovery shall not prejudice or otherwise adversely affect Borrowers’ rights (if any) against such Lender. As used herein, (i) “Settlement Date” means the first Business Day of each calendar week, and (ii) “Week” means a time period beginning with the opening of business on a Wednesday and ending at the end of business on the following Tuesday; or, in each case, such other date and time as Agent and such Lenders may agree from time to time.

2.10 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Upon receipt of any payment of principal (including payment in full of any Eligible Mortgage Loan) of any Eligible Mortgage Loan, such payment shall promptly be remitted to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, as a payment of outstanding Revolving Advances.

(b) Whenever any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party either (i) issues any Equity Interests for cash, or (ii) incurs any Indebtedness not otherwise expressly permitted in Section 7.9, or (iii) sells or otherwise disposes of any Collateral, or (iv) suffers an insured loss in respect of any Collateral, or (v) obtains any Extraordinary Receipts, then, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.11 in respect of clause (iv) above, Loan Parties shall, except as set forth in (a) above, repay the Revolving Advances in an amount equal to the net proceeds derived therefrom; i.e., gross proceeds thereof less any reasonable costs incurred by such Loan Party in connection with the receipt of such proceeds, such prepayments to be made promptly but in no event more than one (l) Business Day following receipt of such net proceeds, and until the date of payment, such proceeds shall be held in trust for Agent and Lenders. The foregoing shall not be deemed to be an implied consent to any such issuance, incurrence sale or disposition otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions hereof. Such proceeds shall be applied to the Revolving Advances in such order as Agent may determine (but subject to Section 12.2), without reduction, however, in Borrower’s ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless and until a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Loan Parties may sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral not to exceed, in aggregate fair market value, the Materiality Threshold in the aggregate, in any Fiscal Year and retain such net proceeds solely to acquire replacement Collateral without making a mandatory prepayment hereunder so long as (A) the fair market value of the acquired Collateral is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Collateral which was sold, (B) the acquired Collateral is purchased by such Loan Party within ninety (90) days before or after the date of the sale of the Collateral, (C) the proceeds of such sale are remitted to Agent to be held by Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, as security for the payment of the Obligations until the replacement Collateral is acquired, (D) the acquired Collateral shall be deemed to be acceptable Collateral by Agent in its Permitted Discretion and (E) the acquired Collateral shall be subject to Agent’s first priority security interest created hereunder, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. If any Loan Party fails to meet any of the conditions set forth above, such Loan Party hereby authorizes Agent to apply the proceeds held by Agent as a prepayment of the Revolving Advances in the manner set forth above.

2.11 Use of Proceeds. Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of (i) any Revolving Advances made on the Closing Date to pay closing costs and expenses associated with this transaction and to refinance or repay in their entirety any Existing Loans and (ii) Revolving Advances made on and after the Closing Date to provide for their respective working capital needs and to fund loans by Borrowers to its Mortgagor Customers for the purchase or refinance of Mortgaged Property.

2.12 Defaulting Lender.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all rights and obligations hereunder of such Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.12 so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(b) (i) Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.12, Revolving Advances shall be made pro rata from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and no Revolving Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Revolving Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting Lender. Amounts received in respect of principal of Revolving Advances shall be applied to reduce such Revolving Advances of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages; provided, that, Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for Defaulting Lender’s benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to a Borrower the amount of such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.

(ii) Fees pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof shall cease to accrue in favor of such Defaulting Lender.

(c) A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of “Required Lenders”, a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender, to have any outstanding Revolving Advances or a Revolving Commitment Percentage.

(d) Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.12, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower, Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

(e) In the event that Agent and Borrowers agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and, if such cured Defaulting Lender is a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Advances of the other Lenders as Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Advances in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage.

INTEREST AND FEES.

3.1 Interest. Interest on Revolving Advances shall be payable to Agent for the account of Lenders in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing on the first day of the calendar month immediately following the Closing Date. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Revolving Advances outstanding during the month (the “Monthly Advances”) at a rate per annum equal to the Revolving Interest Rate. Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Daily LIBOR Rate is increased or decreased, the Revolving Interest Rate shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Daily LIBOR Rate during the time such change or changes remain in effect. The Daily LIBOR Rate shall be adjusted with respect to Daily LIBOR Rate Loans without notice or demand of any kind on the effective date of any change in the Reserve Percentage as of such effective date. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, the Obligations shall bear interest at the otherwise applicable Revolving Interest Rate plus an additional two (2%) percent per annum (as applicable, the “Default Rate”).

3.2 Fee Letter. Borrower shall pay the amounts required to be paid in the Fee Letter in the manner and at the times required therein.

3.3 Unused Line. If, for any calendar month (or portion thereof) during the Term, the average daily unpaid balance of Revolving Advances outstanding for each day of such monthly period does not equal the Maximum Revolving Amount as in effect on the first day of such monthly period, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders a fully earned, nonrefundable fee equal to three eighths of one percent (0.375%) per annum on the amount by which the Maximum Revolving Amount exceeds such average daily unpaid balance of outstanding Revolving Advances for such monthly period. Such fee shall be due and payable monthly in arrears, commencing on the first day of the first calendar month following the Signing Date, and continuing thereafter on the first day of each succeeding calendar month through the end of the Term.

3.4 [Reserved].

3.5 [Reserved].

3.6 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and per annum fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the applicable Revolving Interest Rate during such extension; provided, however, that the foregoing extension shall not be considered when determining Borrowers’ ongoing compliance with Financial Covenants that concern or include scheduled principal payments within specified dates.

3.7 Maximum Charges. In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under law, such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrowers, and if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, the affected Lender or Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

3.8 Increased Costs. If any applicable law, treaty or governmental regulation or any Change in Law shall:

(a) subject any Lender (which for purposes of this Section 3.8 shall include Agent, such Lender, any other Lender Party and any corporation or bank controlling such Lender) to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to its entering into this Agreement or any Other Document, or making any financial accommodations to Borrowers hereunder or thereunder, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder or under any Other Documents (except in each case, any tax or other Charges imposed on such Lender by any jurisdiction in which such Lender does business and any tax imposed on such Lender as of the date hereof (together, “Excluded Taxes”)); or

(b) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of any Lender, including (without limitation) pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

(c) impose on any Lender or the London interbank Eurodollar market any other condition with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Lender making, converting to, continuing, renewing or maintaining its Revolving Advances hereunder by an amount that such Lender deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Revolving Advances by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, then, in any such case; Loan Parties shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, such additional amount as will compensate such Lender for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to increased costs which are reflected in the Daily LIBOR Rate. The applicable Lender shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Loan Parties, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.9 Capital Adequacy. In the event that any Lender shall have determined that any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline or any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or compliance by such Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.9, the term “Lender” shall include Agent, such Lender, any other Lender Party and any corporation or bank controlling such Person) and the office or branch where any Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any Revolving Advances with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, from time to time, Loan Parties shall pay upon demand to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section 3.9 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the applicable law, regulation or condition. A certificate of each affected Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender with respect to this Section 3.9 when delivered to Borrower Representative shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.10 Yield Maintenance. In the event that any Lender (which, for purposes of this Section 3.10 shall include Agent, any Lender, any other Lender Party and any other corporation or bank controlling such Person) shall determine, in in its Permitted Discretion, at any time or from time to time hereafter, that the Daily LIBOR Rate component of the Revolving Interest Rate charged on any Revolving Advance outstanding does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of maintaining such Revolving Advance by an amount that such Lender determines, in its Permitted Discretion, to be reasonable in light of prevailing market conditions, then, such Lender shall have the right to assess and collect an interest surcharge (the “Yield Surcharge”) that Lender, in its Permitted Discretion, determines to be sufficient in an amount to compensate such Lender for its loss of yield, by giving notice to the Borrower Representative to such effect. Each Lender may use reasonable attribution and averaging methods in determining the amount of the Yield Surcharge. Such Yield Surcharge shall be billed and collected monthly by Agent as additional interest on each such Revolving Advance as provided in Section 3.1.

3.11 Delay in Requests. Each Lender shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to notify the Borrower Representative if it believes, in its Permitted Discretion, that it may require compensation from the Borrowers under Sections 3.8, 3.9 or 3.10; provided, however, that failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to such sections shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; and provided further that the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any such amount which arose more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date of such demand or is attributable to periods more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date of such demand except where the Change in Law or event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then each 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

COLLATERAL; GENERAL TERMS.

4.1 Security Interest in the Collateral. To secure the prompt payment and performance to each Lender Party of all Obligations, each Loan Party hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Agent, as agent for the ratable benefit of each Lender Party, a continuing security interest in and to all of its Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located. Each Loan Party shall xxxx its books and records as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence, protect and perfect Agent’s security interest in the Collateral.

Agent shall have the right to record in the applicable land records any Assignment of Mortgage and Collateral Assignment delivered in connection with an Eligible Mortgage Loan in its discretion, regardless of the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(b) Agent is hereby authorized to file financing statements in accordance with the applicable provisions of the UCC, including, without limitation financing statements that describe the Collateral covered thereby as “all personal property”, “all assets” or words of similar effect, at any time or from time to time hereafter, in any jurisdiction; and Loan Parties hereby ratify, approve and affirm the filing of any such financing statements heretofore filed by Agent in respect of any Loan Party (including any predecessor-in-interest thereof). All charges, expenses and fees Agent may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance and added to the Obligations, or, at Agent’s option, shall be paid to the Agent immediately upon demand.

(c) No Loan Party has assigned, pledged, or otherwise conveyed or encumbered any Mortgage Loan or other Collateral (other than the Real Property securing the Bankwell Mortgage Loan) to any other Person, and immediately prior to the pledge of such Mortgage Loan or any other Collateral (other than the Real Property securing the Bankwell Mortgage Loan) to Agent, such Loan Party was the sole owner of such Mortgage Loan or such other Collateral and had good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of all Liens, in each case except for Liens to be released simultaneously with the Liens granted in favor of the Agent hereunder and any Permitted Encumbrances. No Mortgage Loan or other Collateral pledged to the Agent hereunder was acquired (by purchase or otherwise) by any Loan Party from an Affiliate of such Loan Party.

(d) The provisions of this Agreement are effective to create in favor of the Agent a valid security interest in all right, title and interest of each Loan Party in, to and under the Collateral.

(e) Upon receipt by the Agent of each Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank by a duly authorized officer of a Loan Party, the Agent shall have a fully perfected first priority security interest therein, in the Mortgage Loan evidenced thereby and in the Loan Party’s interest in the related Mortgaged Property.

(f) Upon the filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1 naming the Agent as “Secured Party” and the applicable Loan Party as “Debtor”, and describing the Collateral, in the State of New York, the security interests granted hereunder in the Collateral will constitute perfected first priority security interests under the Uniform Commercial Code in all right, title and interest of such Loan Party in, to and under such Collateral to the extent such security interest can be perfected by such filing under the Uniform Commercial Code.

4.3 Disposition of Collateral; Release by Agent.

(a) Each Loan Party will safeguard and protect all Collateral for Agent’s general account and make no disposition thereof whether by sale, lease or otherwise except upon payment by any Mortgagor Customer of the entire principal and all accrued and unpaid interest on any loan made by Loan Party to any Mortgagor Customer. Subject to Section 7.22 hereof, at such time as any Loan Party shall advise Agent that it is anticipating payment in full by or on behalf of any of its Mortgagor Customers of any note payable to any Loan Party (including, without limitation, any Eligible Mortgage Loan), Agent shall promptly forward such note(s) endorsed back to such Loan Party, together with the reassignment to such Loan Party of the related Mortgage File and any collateral securing such note(s). In the event such note(s) is (are) not fully paid by or on behalf of such Mortgagor Customer, within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by such Loan Party of such note(s), such Loan Party shall re-endorse to and return to Agent, such note(s), the assignments of mortgages and the balance of the related Mortgage File. Upon (i) termination of this Agreement and payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and (ii) written request by Loan Parties to Agent, Agent agrees to execute and deliver to Loan Parties, at Loan Parties’ sole expense, releases of Agent’s Collateral Assignments or reassignments to the applicable Loan Party, as appropriate, of the Mortgage Files that have been delivered to Agent, provided that Loan Parties shall provide Agent with the requested forms of releases or reassignments.

(b) If Borrower notifies Agent of its intention to enter into a Permitted Commercial Loan Financing or to transfer Commercial Loans to a Permitted Commercial Loan Subsidiary in anticipation of a Permitted Commercial Loan Financing, then Agent shall promptly (i) forward the applicable Mortgage Notes related to such Commercial Loans endorsed back to the applicable Borrower, together with the reassignment to the applicable Borrower of the related Mortgage File (together with all recordable instruments and documents to release the Lender's lien and encumbrances on the Mortgage Loan) (collectively, the “Commercial Loan Files”) and (ii) release its Lien upon the Commercial Loan Files. In the event such Permitted Commercial Loan Financing is not consummated within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by such Borrower of such Commercial Loan Files, such Commercial Loan Files shall be re-endorsed to and returned to Agent.

4.4 Preservation of Collateral. Following the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default and the demand by Agent for payment of all Obligations due and owing, in addition to the rights and remedies set forth in Section 4.2 and Section 12.1 hereof, Agent: (a) may at any time take such steps as Agent deems necessary to protect Agent’s interest in and to preserve the Collateral, including the hiring of such security guards or the placing of other security protection measures as Agent may deem appropriate; (b) may employ and maintain at any Loan Party’s premises a custodian who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect Agent’s interests in the Collateral; (c) may lease warehouse facilities to which Agent may move all or part of the Collateral; (d) may use any Loan Party’s owned or leased lifts, hoists, trucks and other facilities or equipment for handling or removing the Collateral; and (e) shall have, and is hereby granted, a right of ingress and egress to the places where the Collateral is located, and may proceed over and through any Loan Party’s owned or leased property to obtain such Collateral. Each Loan Party shall cooperate fully with all of Agent’s efforts to preserve the Collateral and will take such actions to preserve the Collateral as Agent may direct. All of Agent’s expenses of preserving the Collateral, including any expenses relating to the bonding of a custodian, shall be charged to Loan Parties’ Account as a Revolving Advance and added to the Obligations.

4.5 Ownership of Collateral. With respect to the Collateral, at the time the Collateral becomes subject to Agent’s security interest: (a) each Loan Party shall be the sole owner of and fully authorized and able to sell, transfer, pledge and/or grant a first priority security interest in each and every item of its respective Collateral to Agent; and, except for Permitted Encumbrances the Collateral shall be free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances whatsoever; (b) each document and agreement executed by each Loan Party or delivered to Agent in connection with this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects; (c) all signatures and endorsements of each Loan Party that appear on such documents and agreements shall be genuine and each Loan Party shall have full capacity to execute same; and (d) each Loan Party’s equipment and inventory shall be located as set forth on Schedule 4.5 or at such other locations within the United States of America as Agent may receive notice of, and approve, from time to time pursuant to Section 10.12 (all such locations herein called, collectively, the “Collateral Locations” and, individually, a “Collateral Location”); and shall not be removed from such Collateral Locations without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except for equipment that is moved from one such Collateral Location of a Loan Party to another such Collateral Location of another Loan Party.

4.6 Defense of Agent’s and Lenders’ Interests. Unless and until (a) payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations and (b) termination of this Agreement, Agent’s security interests in the Collateral shall continue in full force and effect. During such period no Loan Party shall, without Agent’s prior written consent, pledge, sell, assign, transfer, create or suffer to exist a Lien upon or encumber or allow or suffer to be encumbered in any way except for Permitted Encumbrances, any part of the Collateral. Each Loan Party shall defend Agent’s security interest in the Collateral against any and all Persons whatsoever. At any time following a Default or Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to take possession of the indicia of the Collateral and the Collateral in whatever physical form contained, including without limitation: labels, stationery, documents, instruments and advertising materials. If Agent exercises this right to take possession of the Collateral, Loan Parties shall, upon demand, assemble it in the best manner possible and make it available to Agent at a place reasonably convenient to Agent. In addition, with respect to all Collateral, Agent and the Lender Parties shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and further provided by the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. During any period that an Event of Default exists, each Loan Party shall, and Agent may, at its option, instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, warehouses or others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, documents or instruments in which Agent holds a security interest to deliver same to Agent and/or subject to Agent’s order and if they shall come into Loan Party’s possession, they, and each of them, shall be held by such Loan Party in trust as Agent’s trustee, and Loan Party will immediately deliver them to Agent in their original form together with any necessary endorsement.

4.7 Books and Records. Each Loan Party shall (a) keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings or transactions of or in relation to its business and affairs; (b) set up on its books accruals with respect to all taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims; and (c) on a reasonably current basis set up on its books, from its earnings, allowances against doubtful Receivables, advances and investments and all other proper accruals (including without limitation by reason of enumeration, accruals for premiums, if any, due on required payments and accruals for depreciation, obsolescence, or amortization of properties), which should be set aside from such earnings in connection with its business. All determinations pursuant to this subsection shall be made in accordance with, or as required by, GAAP consistently applied in the opinion of the Accountants.

4.8 Financial and Other Disclosure. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs all accountants and auditors employed by such Loan Party at any time during the Term to exhibit and deliver to Agent copies of any of the Loan Parties’ financial statements, trial balances or other accounting records of any sort in the accountant’s or auditor’s possession, and to disclose to Agent any information such accountants may have concerning such Loan Party’s financial status and business operations. In respect of the foregoing, Borrower Representative shall execute and deliver to its accountants and auditors employed on the Signing Date and, if such accountants and auditors are changed by Loan Parties subsequent to the Signing Date, a letter directly authorizing them to act in the manner so provided hereinabove when requested by Agent. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes all federal, state and municipal authorities to furnish to Agent copies of reports or examinations relating to such Loan Party, whether made by such Loan Party or otherwise; however, Agent will attempt to obtain such information or materials directly from such Loan Party prior to obtaining such information or materials from such accountants or such authorities.

4.9 Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party shall comply in all material respects with all acts, rules, regulations and orders of any legislative, administrative or judicial body or official applicable to its respective Collateral or any part thereof or to the operation of such Loan Party’s business the non-compliance with which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on such Loan Party. Each Loan Party may, however, contest or dispute any acts, rules, regulations, orders and directions of those bodies or officials in any reasonable manner, provided that any related Lien is inchoate or stayed and sufficient reserves are established to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent to protect Agent’s Lien on or security interest in the Collateral.

4.10 Inspection of Premises; Appraisals.

(a) At all reasonable times, Agent shall have full access to and the right to audit, check, inspect and make abstracts and copies from each Loan Party’s books, records, audits, correspondence and all other papers relating to the Collateral and the operation of each Loan Party’s business from time to time in Agent’s sole credit judgment. Agent may also enter upon any of Loan Party’s premises on reasonable notice at any time during business hours and at any other reasonable time, and from time to time, for the purpose of inspecting the Collateral and any and all records pertaining thereto and the operation of such Loan Party’s business which, initially is intended by Agent to occur at least quarterly (if not more frequently); provided, however, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall charge Loan Parties for no more than two (2) inspections per calendar year.

(b) At any time that Agent requests, each Loan Party will at its sole expense, provide the Agent with desktop as complete appraisals or updates thereof of the Mortgaged Property from an appraiser selected and engaged by Agent, and prepared on a basis satisfactory to Agent, such desktop as complete appraisals and updates to include, without limitation, information required by applicable law and regulations; provided, however, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, only one (1) such appraisal or update per calendar year shall be conducted and shall be prepared on a “drive-by” basis with respect to a representative sampling of all Mortgaged Property satisfactory to Agent; provided, further, that Agent may require desktop as complete appraisals or updates more frequently at its own expense. In the event the value of the Mortgaged Property so determined pursuant to such appraisal is less than required, such that the Revolving Advances are in excess of such Revolving Advances permitted hereunder, then promptly upon Agent’s demand for same, Loan Parties shall make mandatory prepayments of their outstanding Revolving Advances as to eliminate the excess Revolving Advances.

4.11 Insurance. Each Loan Party shall bear the full risk of any loss of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Collateral. At each Loan Party’s own cost and expense in amounts and with carriers acceptable to Agent, each Loan Party shall (a) keep all its insurable properties and properties in which each Loan Party has an interest, including without limitation all Real Property, insured against the hazards of fire, flood (if any property is in a special flood hazard area and flood insurance is available in such area), sprinkler leakage, those hazards covered by extended coverage insurance and such other hazards, and for such amounts, as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to such Loan Party’s including, without limitation, products liability insurance and business interruption insurance; (b) maintain a bond or other surety in such amounts as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to such Loan Party insuring against larceny, embezzlement or other criminal misappropriation of insured’s officers and employees who may either singly or jointly with others at any time have access to the assets or funds of such Loan Party either directly or through authority to draw upon such funds or to direct generally the disposition of such assets; (c) maintain public and product liability insurance against claims for personal injury, death or property damage suffered by others; (d) maintain all such worker’s compensation or similar insurance as may be required under the laws of any state or jurisdiction in which such Loan Party is engaged in business; (e) furnish Agent with (i) copies of all policies and evidence of the maintenance of such policies by the renewal thereof at least thirty (30) days before any expiration date and as required, in connection with the Funding Requirements, and (ii) appropriate loss payable endorsements in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, naming Agent as a co-insured and loss payee as its interests may appear with respect to all insurance coverage referred to in clauses (a) and (c) above, to the extent affecting or relating to Collateral and providing (A) that all proceeds thereunder shall be payable to Agent, (B) no such insurance shall be affected by any act or neglect of the insured or owner of the property described in such policy, and (C) that such policy and loss payable clauses may not be cancelled, amended or terminated unless at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice is given to Agent. In the event of any loss thereunder, the carriers named therein hereby are directed by Agent and the applicable Loan Party to make payment for such loss to Agent and not to such Loan Party and Agent jointly. If any insurance losses are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to any Loan Party and Agent jointly, Agent may endorse such Loan Party’s name thereon and do such other things as Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. Agent is hereby authorized to adjust and compromise claims under insurance coverage referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above. All loss recoveries received by Agent upon any such insurance shall either be paid over to Loan Parties or applied by the Agent as follows: (i) if no Event of Default or Default exists, and the loss recovery so received by Agent is less than or equal to the Materiality Threshold, then Agent shall remit such loss recovery to the Loan Parties; (ii) if no Event of Default or Default exists, and the loss recovery received by Agent is more than the Materiality Threshold, then, Agent shall apply such loss recovery to the Obligations in such order as Agent in its sole discretion shall determine and (iii) if any Event of Default exists, then Agent shall receive and apply such loss recovery to the Obligations in such order as Agent, in its sole discretion, shall determine (but subject to Section 12.2). Any surplus of such proceeds remaining after such application shall be paid by Agent to Loan Parties or applied as may be otherwise required by law. If, however, after application of such proceeds to the Obligations, any “Overadvance” (as defined in Section 2.6) exists, then, Loan Parties shall comply with said Section 2.6 in respect of its elimination. Anything hereinabove to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent shall not be obligated to remit any insurance proceeds to Loan Parties unless Loan Parties shall have provided Agent with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent that the insurance proceeds will be used by Loan Parties to repair, replace or restore the insured property which was the subject of the insurable loss. The Collateral at all times shall be maintained in accordance with the requirements of all insurance carriers which provide insurance with respect to the Collateral so that such insurance shall remain in full force and effect. If any Loan Party fails to obtain insurance as hereinabove provided, or to keep the same in force, Agent, if Agent so elects, may obtain such insurance and pay the premium therefor for Loan Parties’ Account, and charge Borrowers’ Account therefor and such expenses so paid shall be part of the Obligations. Without limitation of the foregoing, if as of the Signing Date or at any time thereafter Agent determines that all or a portion of the improvements situated on any Real Property constituting Collateral are located within an area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (P.L. 93-234) as being in a “special flood hazard area,” whether now or at any time hereafter, Loan Parties shall also furnish Agent with flood insurance policies which conform to the requirements of said Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 and the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as either may be amended from time to time. The amounts of such insurance coverages shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum permitted coverage or (b) the full insurable value and shall be maintained thereafter at all times in an amount such that Agent will not be deemed a co-insurer under applicable insurance laws, regulations, policies or practices. Renewals of such policies shall be so delivered at least thirty (30) days before any such insurance shall expire. If Loan Parties shall fail to provide any such insurance, or shall fail to replace any of the same within five (5) Business Days after being notified that the insuring company is no longer approved by Agent, or if any such insurance is cancelled or lapses without replacement, Agent may, at its option, procure the same in such amounts as are required hereunder, and the actual cost thereof may, at Agent’s option, be charged as a Revolving Advance to Borrowers’ Account immediately upon incurrence or at any time thereof.

4.12 Payment of Taxes. Each Loan Party will pay, when due, all taxes, assessments and other Charges lawfully levied or assessed upon such Loan Party or any of the Collateral including, without limitation, real and personal property taxes, assessments and charges and all franchise, income, employment, social security benefits, withholding, and sales taxes. If any tax by any Governmental Body is or may be imposed on or as a result of any transaction between any Loan Party and Agent which Agent may be required to withhold or pay or if any taxes, assessments, or other Charges remain unpaid after the date fixed for their payment, or if any claim shall be made which, in Agent’s reasonable opinion, may possibly create a valid Lien on the Collateral, Agent may, unless the Loan Parties have done so within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower Representative receives written notice from the Agent that they do so, pay the taxes, assessments or other Charges and each Loan Party hereby indemnifies and holds Agent and each Agent harmless in respect thereof. Agent will not pay any taxes, assessments or Charges to the extent that any Loan Party has contested or disputed those taxes, assessments or Charges in good faith, by expeditious protest, administrative or judicial appeal or similar proceeding provided that any related tax lien is stayed and sufficient reserves are established to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent to protect Agent’s security interest in or Lien on the Collateral. The amount of any payment by Agent under this Section shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance and added to the Obligations and, until Loan Parties shall furnish Agent with an indemnity therefor (or supply Agent with evidence satisfactory to Agent that due provision for the payment thereof has been made), Agent may hold without interest any balance standing to Loan Parties’ credit and Agent shall retain its security interest in any and all Collateral held by Agent.

4.13 Payment of Leasehold Obligations. Each Loan Party shall at all times pay, when and as due, its rental obligations under all leases under which it is a tenant, and shall otherwise comply, in all material respects, with all other terms of such leases and keep them in full force and effect and, at Agent’s request, will provide evidence of having done so.

4.14 Receivables.

(a) Each of the Receivables shall be a bona fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the Mortgagor Customer therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect to a loan made by Loan Party to such Mortgagor Customer or an absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods upon stated terms of a Loan Party, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered by a Loan Party as of the date each Receivable is created. Same shall be due and owing in accordance with the applicable Loan Party’s standard terms of sale without dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts receivable schedules delivered by Loan Parties to Agent.

(b) Each Mortgagor Customer, to the best of each Loan Party’s knowledge, as of the date each Receivable is created, is and will be solvent and able to pay all Receivables on which the Mortgagor Customer is obligated in full when due or with respect to such Mortgagor Customers of any Loan Party who are not solvent such Loan Party has set up on its books and in its financial records bad debt reserves adequate to cover such Receivables.

(c) Each Loan Party’s chief executive office is located at the address set forth on Schedule 4.14(c) hereto. Until written notice is given to Agent by Borrower Representative of any other office at which any Loan Party keeps its records pertaining to Receivables, all such records shall be kept at such executive office.

(d) On the Closing Date, each Loan Party shall have established one or more check scanners with Agent (“Scanners”) which shall be used for the sole and exclusive purpose of concentrating the collection of all remittances on Receivables and proceeds of other Collateral. All remittances confirmed by Scanners, once established, shall be transferred on a daily basis to the Concentration Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds in a manner satisfactory to Agent.

(e) In addition to the requirements set forth in subsection (d) above, from and after the Closing Date: Loan Parties shall establish and maintain one or more additional Deposit Accounts of Loan Parties as blocked accounts (“Blocked Accounts” or a “Blocked Account”) pursuant to one or more agreements (collectively, “Blocked Account Agreements” or a “Blocked Account Agreement”) with Bank or any other financial institution as is acceptable to Agent (collectively, “Blocked Account Banks” or a “Blocked Account Bank”) into which Loan Parties and Mortgagor Customers shall remit all payments on Receivables and other proceeds of Collateral. All amounts on deposit in a Blocked Account shall be transferred on a daily basis to the Concentration Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds in a manner satisfactory to Agent. Unless otherwise agreed to by Agent, each Blocked Account Bank shall acknowledge and agree pursuant to its respective Blocked Account Agreement that all payments and deposits made to its Blocked Account are the sole and exclusive property of Agent; for the benefit of itself and each other Lender Party; that such Blocked Account Bank has no right to set off against its Blocked Account except as expressly provided on its Blocked Account Agreement; that such Blocked Account Bank will wire transfer immediately available funds in a manner satisfactory to Agent all funds deposited in the Blocked Account to the Concentration Account (or another account designed by Agent) on a daily basis as soon as such funds are collected. Each Loan Party agrees that all payments, whether by cash, check, wire transfer or other instruments of deposit in each Blocked Account shall be the sole and exclusive property of Agent, for the benefit of itself and each other Lender Party, and that Loan Parties shall not have any right, title or interest therein or in any Blocked Account. None of the Bank, Agent or any Lender Party assumes any responsibility for such Blocked Account or Concentration Account (unless such Person shall also be the applicable Blocked Account Bank or Concentration Bank and in such event only as set forth in the applicable Blocked Account Agreement applicable thereto), including without limitation, any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any bank thereunder. Loan Parties shall remit directly all payments constituting proceeds of Collateral to an applicable Blocked Account in the form received. All such payments, whether by cash, check, wire transfer or other instrument, made to each Blocked Account, shall be the exclusive property of the Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Bank, and each other Lender Party, and the Loan Parties shall not have any right, title or interest therein. Loan Parties shall not, without obtaining the prior consent of the Agent, establish any accounts, other than the Blocked Accounts and the Concentration Account, pursuant to which payments on account of Receivables are made to or on behalf of any of the Loan Parties. Loan Parties shall not modify in any respect, without the prior written consent of Agent, any Blocked Account Agreement or any other arrangement relating to any Blocked Account.

(f) In addition to the requirements set forth in subsections (d) and (e) above, Loan Parties shall cause all Deposit Accounts (other than any Deposit Accounts constituting a Blocked Account) existing on the Closing Date or subsequently (with Agent’s approval) coming into existence (each such Deposit Account, other than a Blocked Account, herein, a “Pledged Account”) to be made the subject of a tri-party agreement among such Loan Party, the bank having such Pledged Account and Agent, to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent (a “Pledged Account Agreement”), pursuant to which the pledge of such Pledged Account and all funds on deposit therein to Agent as security for the payment and performance of all Obligations shall be established and confirmed.

(g) All amounts deposited in the Concentration Account from time to time shall be applied to the Obligations upon (i) final collection thereof and (ii) their transfer from the Concentration Bank to the Agent in accordance with this subsection, effective on the Business Day that each such payment is received (such date being called herein the “Application Date”). For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Agent shall be deemed to have received a payment from the Concentration Bank on a particular Business Day only if it receives by wire transfer the same prior to 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on such Business Day or, if received after such time, on the next following Business Day. Agent is not, however, required to credit Borrowers’ Account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Agent and Agent may charge Borrowers’ Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to Agent unpaid. The Agent shall apply all amounts deposited in the Concentration Account as provided in Section 16.4 or, as applicable, Section 12.2. If sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments then to be made in respect of any Obligations, the available funds being applied with respect to such Obligations shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligations ratably, in such order and manner as Agent shall elect, and Loan Parties shall continue to be liable for any deficiency.

(h) If at any time Agent determines that any funds held in the Blocked Account, the Concentration Account or any Pledged Account are subject to the Lien of any Person, other than the Agent as herein provided, (a) Loan Parties agree, forthwith upon demand by Agent, to pay to Agent as additional funds to be deposited and held in the Concentration Account, an amount equal to the amount of funds subject to such Lien, or (b) if no such payment is made, Agent shall establish sufficient reserves in the amount of such funds.

(i) At any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Default, Agent shall have the right to send notice of the assignment of, and Agent’s security interest in, the Receivables to any and all Mortgagor Customers or any third party holding or otherwise concerned with any of the Collateral. Thereafter, Agent shall have the sole right to collect the Receivables, take possession of the Collateral, or both. Agent’s actual collection expenses, including, but not limited to, stationery and postage, telephone and telecopy, secretarial and clerical expenses and the salaries of any collection personnel used for collection, may be charged to Borrowers’ Account and added to the Obligations.

(j) Agent shall have the right to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver in the name of Agent or any Loan Party any and all checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables, and each Loan Party hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed. Each Loan Party hereby constitutes Agent or Agent’s designee as such Loan Party’s attorney with power at any time hereafter (i) to endorse such Loan Party’s name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment or Collateral; (ii) to sign such Loan Party’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of the Receivables, drafts against Mortgagor Customers, assignments and verifications of Receivables; (iii) in Agent’s Permitted Discretion, to send verifications of Receivables to any Mortgagor Customer; (iv) to sign such Loan Party’s name on any documents or instruments deemed necessary or appropriate by Agent to preserve, protect, or perfect Agent’s interest in the Collateral and to file same; (v) to prepare, file and sign such Borrower’s name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Mortgagor Customer; and (vi) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement. Following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, and during its continuation, each Loan Party shall hereby constitute Agent or Agent’s designee as such Loan Party’s attorney with additional power (i) to demand payment of the Receivables; (ii) to enforce payment of the Receivables by legal proceedings or otherwise; (iii) to exercise all of Loan Parties’ rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables and any other Collateral; (iv) to settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables; and (v) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Receivables. All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless done willfully or with gross (not mere) negligence; this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid. Agent shall have the right at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default, to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to any Loan Party to such address as Agent may designate and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Loan Party.

(k) Agent shall not, under any circumstances or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Receivables or any instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage resulting therefrom, except for any such errors or omissions or delays of any kind determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final proceeding to have resulted primarily from Agent’s gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default, Agent may, without notice or consent from any Loan Party, xxx upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or upon any terms any of the Receivables or any other securities, instruments or insurance applicable thereto and/or release any obligor thereof. Agent is authorized and empowered to accept following the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default the return of the goods represented by any of the Receivables, without notice to or consent by any Loan Party, all without discharging or in any way affecting any Loan Party’s liability hereunder.

(l) No Loan Party will, without Agent’s consent, compromise or adjust any material amount of the Receivables (or extend the time for payment thereof) or accept any material returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts, allowances or credits thereon except for those compromises, adjustments, returns, discounts, credits and allowances as have been heretofore customary in the Ordinary Course of Business of such Loan Party.

Neither Agent nor any Lender Party shall, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, assume any Loan Party’s obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to Agent or such Lender Party, and neither Agent nor any Lender Party shall be responsible in any way for the performance by Loan Parties of any of the terms and conditions thereof.

MULTIPLE LOAN PARTIES.

15.1 Borrowing Agency Provisions. If and to the extent that at any time or from time to time there are multiple Loan Parties, then:

(a) Each Loan Party acknowledges that it, together with each other Loan Party, make up a related organization of various entities constituting a single economic and business enterprise and sharing a substantial identity of interests such that, without limitation, Loan Parties render services to or for the benefit of each other, purchase or sell and supply goods to or from or for the benefit of each other, make loans, advances and provide other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of each other (including the payment of creditors and guarantees of Indebtedness), provide administrative, marketing, payroll and management services to or for the benefit of each other; have centralized accounting, common officers and directors; and are in certain circumstances are identified to creditors as a single economic and business enterprise. Accordingly, and without limitation, any credit or other financial accommodation extended to anyone Loan Party pursuant hereto will result in direct and substantial economic benefit to each other Loan Party, and each Loan Party will likewise benefit from the economies of scale associated with the Loan Parties, as a group, applying for credit or other financial accommodations pursuant hereto on a collective basis.

(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably designates Borrower Representative to be its attorney and agent and in such capacity to borrow, sign and endorse notes, and execute and deliver all instruments, documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, on behalf of such Loan Party or Loan Parties, and hereby authorizes Agent and Lenders to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder in accordance with the request of Borrower Representative.

(c) The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a Borrower Representative in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to Loan Parties and at their request. None of the Lender Parties shall incur any liability to Loan Parties as a result thereof. To induce the Lender Parties to do so and in consideration thereof, each Loan Party hereby indemnifies the Lender Parties and holds the Lender Parties harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against the Lender Parties by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of Loan Parties as provided herein, reliance by any of the Lender Parties on any request or instruction from Borrower Representative or any other action taken by any of the Lender Parties with respect to this Section except due to willful misconduct or gross (not mere) negligence by the indemnified party.

(d) All Obligations shall be joint and several, and each Loan Party shall make payment upon the maturity of the Obligations by acceleration or otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the part of each Loan Party shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted by Agent or any Lender to any Loan Party, failure of Agent or Lenders to give any Loan Party notice of borrowing or any other notice, any failure of Agent or Lenders to pursue or preserve its rights against any Loan Party, the release by Agent of any Collateral now or thereafter acquired from any Loan Party, and such agreement by each Loan Party to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by Agent to the other Loan Parties or any Collateral for such Loan Party’s Obligations or the lack thereof.

Each Loan Party expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other claim which such Loan Party may now or hereafter have against the other Loan Parties or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to the other Loan Parties’ property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations.

16.

REGARDING AGENT.

16.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates WBCC to act as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal and interest (except as otherwise set forth herein), fees (except the fees set forth in any Fee Letter), charges and collections received pursuant to this Agreement, for the ratable benefit of Lenders. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including collection of the Note) Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in Agent’s discretion, exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Other Documents or any applicable law unless Agent is furnished with an indemnification reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto.

16.2 Nature of Duties. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Other Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. The duties of Agent as respects the Revolving Advances to Borrowers shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the transactions described herein except as expressly set forth herein.

16.3 Lack of Reliance on Agent. Independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Loan Party in connection with the making and the continuance of the Revolving Advances hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Loan Party. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Revolving Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by any Loan Party pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Document, or of the financial condition of any Loan Party, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Note, the Other Documents or the financial condition or prospects of any Loan Party, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.

16.4 Resignation of Agent; Successor Agent. Agent may resign on sixty (60) days written notice to each Lender and Borrower Representative and upon such resignation, Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Loan Parties (provided that no such approval by Loan Parties shall be required (i) in any case where the successor Agent is one of the Lenders or (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default). Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and shall in particular succeed to all of Agent’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Liens in the Collateral securing the Obligations created hereunder or any Other Document (including any Mortgages and all account control agreements), and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of the effectiveness of the new Agent’s appointment, any further actions need to be taken in order to provide for the legally binding and valid transfer of any Liens in the Collateral from former Agent to new Agent and/or for the perfection of any Liens in the Collateral as held by new Agent or it is otherwise not then possible for new Agent to become the holder of a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien as to any of the Collateral, former Agent shall continue to hold such Liens solely as agent for perfection of such Liens on behalf of new Agent until such time as new Agent can obtain a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien on all Collateral, provided that Agent shall not be required to or have any liability or responsibility to take any further actions after such date as such agent for perfection to continue the perfection of any such Liens (other than to forego from taking any affirmative action to release any such Liens). After Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article 16, and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement (and in the event resigning Agent continues to hold any Liens pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of this Article 16 and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with such Liens).

16.5 Certain Rights of Agent. If Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders.

16.6 Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, email, facsimile, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or other document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable care.

16.7 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Other Documents, unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower Representative referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

16.8 Indemnification. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Loan Parties, each Lender severally agrees to reimburse and indemnify Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the outstanding Revolving Advances (or, if no Revolving Advances are outstanding, pro rata according to the percentage that its Revolving Commitment Amount constitutes of the total aggregate Revolving Commitment), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Document; provided that Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment).

16.9 Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligation of Agent to lend under this Agreement, the Revolving Advances made by it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as Agent specified herein; and the term “Lender” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Agent may engage in business with any Loan Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

16.10 Delivery of Documents. To the extent Agent (i) receives schedules, financial statements, projections or reports required under Sections 10.2, 10.7, 10.8, 10.13, 10.19 or Borrowing Base Certificates from any Loan Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) prepares or receives any report or document showing the results of appraisals (other than appraisals included in any Mortgage File, which shall be available to Lenders upon request) or environmental reports or field examinations conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (each, a “Report” and collectively with the items in clause (i) above, the “Borrower Materials”), Agent will promptly furnish such documents and information to Lenders to the extent Borrower is not obligated to deliver such documents and information to each Lender under this Agreement. Each Lender agrees (a) that Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that Agent or any other Person performing an audit or examination will inspect only limited information and will rely significantly upon Loan Parties’ books, records and representations; (b) that Agent makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Borrower Materials and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Borrower Materials, including any Report; and (c) to keep all Borrower Materials confidential and strictly for such Lender’s internal use, not to distribute any Report or other Borrower Materials (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s Participants, attorneys and accountants), and to use all Borrower Materials solely for administration of the Obligations. Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent and any other Person preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Borrower Materials, as well as from any claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, proceedings, interest, costs and expenses of any kind arising as a direct or indirect result of Agent furnishing same to such Lender.

16.11 Loan Parties Undertaking to Agent. Without prejudice to their respective obligations to Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement, each Loan Party hereby undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time on demand all amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to any such demand shall pro tanto satisfy the relevant Loan Party’s obligations to make payments for the account of Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.

16.12 No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program. To the extent the Revolving Advances or this Agreement is, or becomes, syndicated in cooperation with other Lenders, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out such Lender's, Affiliate's, participant's or assignee's customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Other Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such Anti-Terrorism Laws.

16.13 Other Agreements. Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Loan Party or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by Agent, take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Other Documents, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders.

16.14 Other Agents. The designation of any Lender as “Co-Syndication Agent” shall not confer upon it any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders, or Affiliates thereof, so identified as “Co-Syndication Agent” shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the parties so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

17.2 Entire Understanding.

(a) This Agreement and the Other Documents executed concurrently herewith contain the entire understanding between and among each Loan Party, Agent and each Lender and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not herein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in writing, signed by the respective officers of the party making such promises, representations, warranties, or guarantees. Neither this Agreement nor any Other Document nor any portion or provisions hereof or thereof may be changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing, signed by the party to be charged. Each Loan Party acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the Other Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any Other Document.

(b) Required Lenders, Agent with the consent in writing of Required Lenders, and Loan Parties may, subject to the provisions of this Section 17.2(b), from time to time enter into written supplemental agreements to this Agreement or the Other Documents executed by Loan Parties, for the purpose of adding or deleting any provisions or otherwise changing, varying or waiving in any manner the rights of Lenders, Agent or Loan Parties thereunder or the conditions, provisions or terms thereof or waiving any Event of Default thereunder, but only to the extent specified in such written agreements; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall:

(i) increase the Revolving Commitment Percentage or the maximum dollar amount of the Revolving Commitment Amount of any Lender without the consent of such Lender directly affected thereby;

(ii) whether or not any Revolving Advances are outstanding, extend the Term or the time for payment of principal or interest of any Revolving Advance (excluding the due date of any mandatory prepayment of an Revolving Advance), or any fee payable to any Lender, or reduce the principal amount of or the rate of interest borne by any Revolving Advances or reduce any fee payable to any Lender, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except that Required Lenders may elect to waive or rescind any imposition of the Default Rate under Section 3.1 hereof or of default rates of letter of credit fees (unless imposed by Agent));

(iii) increase the Maximum Revolving Amount without the consent of all Lenders;

(iv) alter the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or alter, amend or modify this Section 17.2(b) without the consent of all Lenders;

(v) alter, amend or modify the provisions of Section 12.2 hereof without the consent of all Lenders;

(vi) release and/or subordinate Agent’s Liens on any Collateral during any calendar year (other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) having an aggregate value in excess of the Materiality Threshold without the consent of all Lenders;

(vii) change the rights and duties of Agent without the consent of all Lenders;

(viii) subject to clause (e) below, permit any Revolving Advance to be made if after giving effect thereto the total of Revolving Advances outstanding hereunder would exceed the Borrowing Base for more than sixty (60) consecutive Business Days or exceed one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Borrowing Base without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(ix) increase the Applicable Advance Rate above the Applicable Advance Rate in effect on the Closing Date or alter the definition of “Eligible Mortgage Loans” (or adjust the applicability of the criteria therein, including, without limitation, any part of Annex Two, Part I hereof, the definition of Funding Cap, or the definition of Funding Requirements) in a manner that has the effect of increasing the Borrowing Base or the availability of Revolving Advances, in any case, without the consent of all Lenders;

(x) release any Loan Party without the consent of all Lenders; or

(xi) permit Borrower to assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

(c) Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon Loan Parties, Lenders and Agent and all future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver, Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders shall be restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.

(d) In the event that Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to this Section 17.2 and such consent is denied, then Agent may, at its option, require such Lender to assign its interest in the Revolving Advances to Agent or to another Lender or to any other Person designated by Agent (the “Designated Lender”), for a price equal to (i) the then outstanding principal amount thereof plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest and fees due such Lender, which interest and fees shall be paid when collected from Loan Parties. In the event Agent elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to Agent or to the Designated Lender, Agent will so notify such Lender in writing within forty five (45) days following such Lender’s denial, and such Lender will assign its interest to Agent or the Designated Lender no later than five (5) days following receipt of such notice pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such Lender, Agent or the Designated Lender, as appropriate, and Agent.

(e) Notwithstanding (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 9.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, Agent may at its discretion and without the consent of any Lender, voluntarily permit the outstanding Revolving Advances at any time to exceed the Borrowing Base by up to ten percent (10%) of the Borrowing Base for up to thirty (30) consecutive days (the “Out-of-Formula Loans”); provided, that, Required Lenders may at any time revoke Agent’s authorization to make or permit Out-of-Formula Loans under this Section 17.2(e) and any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Agent’s receipt thereof. If Agent is willing in its sole and absolute discretion to permit such Out-of-Formula Loans, Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and such Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for Revolving Advances; provided that, if Agent does permit Out-of-Formula Loans, neither Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of Section 2.1(a) nor shall any Lender be obligated to fund Revolving Advances in excess of its Revolving Commitment. For purposes of this paragraph, the discretion granted to Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary Overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Borrowing Base was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including, but not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be “Eligible Mortgage Loans”, becomes ineligible, collections of Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Revolving Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or Overadvances are made to protect or preserve the Collateral. In the event Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving Advances to exceed the Borrowing Base by more than ten percent (10%), Agent shall use its efforts to have Loan Parties decrease such excess in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Advances made after Agent has determined the existence of involuntary Overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary Overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence. To the extent any Out-of-Formula Loans are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 17.2(e), Agent may elect in its discretion to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans and any such Out-of-Formula Loans so funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

(f) In addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving Advances permitted above in this Section 17.2, Agent is hereby authorized by Loan Parties and Lenders, at any time in Agent’s sole discretion, regardless of (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) whether any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 9.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, to make Revolving Advances (“Protective Advances”) to Loan Parties on behalf of Lenders which Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (b) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Revolving Advances and other Obligations, or (c) to pay any other amount chargeable to Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, that the aggregate amount of all Protective Advances and Out-of-Formula Loans shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Maximum Revolving Amount and, provided, further, that at any time after giving effect to any such Protective Advances and any outstanding Out-of-Formula Loans, the outstanding Revolving Advances do not exceed the Maximum Revolving Amount. Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Protective Advances (to the extent permitted above) and effect a settlement with Agent therefor upon demand of Agent in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. To the extent any Protective Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 17.2(f), any such Protective Advances funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

17.3 Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lender.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders, the Bank, each other Lender Party and all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.

(b) Each Loan Party acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking business any Lender may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Revolving Advances to other financial institutions (each such transferee or purchaser of a participating interest, a “Transferee”). Each Transferee may exercise all rights of payment (including without limitation rights of set-off) with respect to the portion of such Revolving Advances held by it or other Obligations payable hereunder as fully as if such Transferee were the direct holder thereof provided that Loan Parties shall not be required to pay to any Transferee more than the amount which it would have been required to pay to the Lender which granted an interest in its Revolving Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to such Transferee had such Lender retained such interest in the Revolving Advances hereunder or other Obligations payable hereunder and in no event shall Loan Parties be required to pay any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to the same Revolving Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to both such Lender and such Transferee. Each Loan Party hereby grants to any Transferee a continuing security interest in any deposits, moneys or other property actually or constructively held by such Transferee as security for the Transferee’s interest in the Revolving Advances.

(c) Any Lender, with the consent of Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one or more additional banks or financial institutions and one or more additional banks or financial institutions may commit to make Revolving Advances hereunder (each a “Purchasing Lender”), pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, and Agent delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder with a Revolving Commitment Percentages set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Loan Party hereby consents to the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Loan Parties shall execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing.

(d) Any Lender, with the consent of Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) may directly or indirectly sell, assign or transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances under this Agreement and the Other Documents to an entity, whether a corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity that (i) is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and (ii) is administered, serviced or managed by the assigning Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender (a “Purchasing CLO” and together with each Participant and Purchasing Lender, each a “Transferee” and collectively the “Transferees”), pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement modified as appropriate to reflect the interest being assigned (“Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement”), executed by any intermediate purchaser, the Purchasing CLO, the transferor Lender, and Agent as appropriate and delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such execution and delivery, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing CLO thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing CLO. Each Loan Party hereby consents to the addition of such Purchasing CLO. Loan Parties shall execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing.

(e) Agent shall maintain at its address a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement and Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due hereunder. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and each Loan Party, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Revolving Advance recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower Representative or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Agent shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing CLO upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment (other than to an intermediate purchaser) to such Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing CLO.

(f) Nothing contained herein, however, shall limit in any way the right of any Lender to assign all or a portion of the Revolving Advances owing to it from time to time to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, but no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(g) Each Loan Party authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Transferee and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning Loan Parties which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any Other Document or in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of such Loan Party.

(h) Upon a Loan Party's reasonable request, each Lender Party that is a “United States person” as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Agent and such Loan Party two properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) to establish that such Lender Party is not subject to United States federal backup withholding tax.

(i) Agent shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender Party, and the Obligations of, and principal amount of the Daily LIBOR Rate Loans owing to, such Lender Party pursuant to the terms hereof. The entries in such register shall be conclusive, and Loan Parties and Lender Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such register shall be available for inspection by Loan Parties and any Lender Party, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to Agent. The requirement for a register set forth in this Section 17.3(g) shall be construed so that the Daily LIBOR Rate Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), 881(c)(2) and 4701 of the Code.

17.4 Application of Payments. Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or Agent receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Loan Party’s benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender.

17.5 Indemnity. Each Loan Party shall indemnify each Lender Party, and each of its respective officers, directors, Affiliates, employees from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Lender Party in any litigation, proceeding or investigation instituted or conducted by any governmental agency or instrumentality or any other Person specifically with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by or any matter related to, this Agreement or the Other Documents, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the party being indemnified.

17.6 Notice. Any notice or request hereunder may be given to any Loan Party or to Agent at their respective addresses set forth below or at such other address as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a notice of change of address under this Section. Any notice or request hereunder shall be given by (a) hand delivery, (b) overnight courier, (c) registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or (d) Electronic Transmission subsequently confirmed by registered or certified mail or (e) telecopy to the number set out below (or such other number as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a notice of change of address) with electronic confirmation of its receipt.

17.7 Survival. The obligations of Loan Parties under Sections 3.10, 4.18(h), 17.5 and 17.9 together with any Section, terms or provisions hereof which by its terms so provides shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the Other Documents and payment in full of the Obligations.

17.8 Severability. If any part of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by, or deemed invalid under applicable laws or regulations, such provision shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so far as possible.

17.9 Expenses. Loan Parties shall pay (i) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Agent), and shall pay all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the Other Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Agent or any Lender), and shall pay all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the Other Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Revolving Advances made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Daily LIBOR Rate Loans.

17.10 Rights to Cure. Agent may, in its reasonable credit judgment, with written notice to Borrower Representative (a) cure any default by any Loan Party under any Material Agreement that affects the Collateral, its value or the ability of Agent to collect, sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or the rights and remedies of Agent therein or the ability of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or under any of the Other Documents, (b) pay or bond on appeal any judgment entered against any Loan Party, (c) discharge any Charges, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied on or existing with respect to the Collateral and (d) pay any amount, incur any expense or perform any act which Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, determines is necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, insure or maintain the Collateral and the rights of Agent with respect thereto. Agent may add any amounts so expended to the Obligations and charge Borrowers’ Account therefor, such amounts to be repayable by Loan Parties on demand, shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid in full, shall be part of the Obligations, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Agent shall be under no obligation to effect such cure, payment or bonding and shall not, by doing so, be deemed to have assumed any obligation or liability of any Loan Party.

GUARANTY.

18.1 Guaranty. Each Corporate Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, jointly and severally with each other Corporate Guarantor when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by notice of prepayment or otherwise, the due and punctual performance of all Obligations. Each payment made by any Corporate Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds.

18.2 Waivers. Each Corporate Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, notice of presentment of payment and any other notice hereunder, (ii) demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment, notice of the present and future amount of the Obligations and any other notice with respect to the Obligations, (iii) any requirement that Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan Party, or any Person or any Collateral, (iv) any other action, event or precondition to the enforcement hereof or the performance by each such Corporate Guarantor of the Obligations, and (v) any defense arising by any lack of capacity or authority or any other defense of any Loan Party or any notice, demand or defense by reason of cessation from any cause of Obligations other than payment and performance in full of the Obligations by the Loan Parties and any defense that any other guarantee or security was or was to be obtained by Agent.

18.3 No Defense. No invalidity, irregularity, voidableness, voidness or unenforceability of this Agreement or any Other Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or of all or any part of the Obligations or of any collateral security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense hereunder.

18.4 Guaranty of Payment. The Guaranty hereunder is one of payment and performance, not collection, and the obligations of each Corporate Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Obligations of the other Loan Parties, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Corporate Guarantor to enforce the terms and conditions of this Article 18, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Loan Party or other Persons or whether any other Loan Party or other Persons are joined in any such action or actions. Each Corporate Guarantor waives any right to require that any resort be had by Agent or any Lender to any security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Agent or any Lender in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person. No election to proceed in one form of action or proceedings, or against any Person, or on any Obligations, shall constitute a waiver of Agent’s right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against any other Person unless Agent has expressed any such right in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by Agent against any Loan Party under any document evidencing or securing indebtedness of any Loan Party to Agent shall diminish the liability of any Corporate Guarantor hereunder, except to the extent Agent receives actual payment on account of Obligations by such action or proceeding, notwithstanding the effect of any such election, action or proceeding upon the right of subrogation of any Corporate Guarantor in respect of any Loan Party.

18.5 Liabilities Absolute. The liability of each Corporate Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, unlimited and unconditional and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any claim, defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any other Obligation or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Corporate Guarantor shall not be discharged or impaired, released, limited or otherwise affected by:

(a) any change in the manner, place or terms of payment or performance, and/or any change or extension of the time of payment or performance of, release, renewal or alteration of, or any new agreements relating to any Obligation, any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any rescission of, or amendment, waiver or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, this Agreement or any Other Document, including any increase in the Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or otherwise;

(b) any sale, exchange, release, surrender, loss, abandonment, realization upon any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, all or any of the Obligations, and/or any offset there against, or failure to perfect, or continue the perfection of, any Lien in any such property, or delay in the perfection of any such Lien, or any amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty for all or any of the Obligations;

(c) the failure of Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other Loan Party or any other Person under the provisions of this Agreement or any Other Document or any other document or instrument executed and delivered in connection herewith or therewith;

(d) any settlement or compromise of any Obligation, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and any subordination of the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any obligation (whether due or not) of any Loan Party to creditors of any Loan Party other than any other Loan Party;

(e) any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of any Loan Party; and

(f) any other agreements or circumstance of any nature whatsoever that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Corporate Guarantor, or that might otherwise at law or in equity constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Guaranty hereunder and/or the obligations of any Corporate Guarantor, or a defense to, or discharge of, any Loan Party or any other Person or party hereto or the Obligations or otherwise with respect to the Revolving Advances or other financial accommodations to Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Other Documents.

18.6 Waiver of Notice. Agent, any Lender and any other Lender Party shall have the right to do any of the above without notice to or the consent of any Corporate Guarantor and each Corporate Guarantor expressly waives any right to notice of, consent to, knowledge of and participation in any agreements relating to any of the above or any other present or future event relating to Obligations whether under this Agreement or otherwise or any right to challenge or question any of the above and waives any defenses of such Corporate Guarantor which might arise as a result of such actions.

18.7 Agent’s Discretion. Agent may at any time and from time to time (whether prior to or after the revocation or termination of this Agreement) without the consent of, or notice to, any Corporate Guarantor, and without incurring responsibility to any Corporate Guarantor or impairing or releasing the Obligations, apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any Obligations regardless of what Obligations remain unpaid.

18.8 Reinstatement.

(a) The Guaranty provisions herein contained shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if claim is ever made upon Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by such Person in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and such Person repays all or part of said amount for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Person or the respective property of each, or any settlement or compromise of any claim effected by such Person with any such claimant (including any Loan Party); and in such event each Corporate Guarantor hereby agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise or other circumstances shall be binding upon such Corporate Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any Obligation, and each Corporate Guarantor shall be and remain liable to Agent and/or Lenders for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by such Person(s).

(b) Agent shall not be required to marshal any assets in favor of any Corporate Guarantor, or against or in payment of Obligations, unless so ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) No Corporate Guarantor shall be entitled to claim against any present or future security held by Agent from any Person for Obligations in priority to or equally with any claim of Agent, or assert any claim for any liability of any Loan Party to any Corporate Guarantor in priority to or equally with claims of Agent for Obligations, and no Corporate Guarantor shall be entitled to compete with Agent with respect to, or to advance any equal or prior claim to any security held by Agent for Obligations.

(d) If any Loan Party makes any payment to Agent, which payment is wholly or partly subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to any Person under any federal or provincial statute or at common law or under equitable principles, then to the extent of such payment, the Obligation intended to be paid shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if the payment had not been made, and the resulting revived Obligation shall continue to be guaranteed, uninterrupted, by each Corporate Guarantor hereunder.

(e) All present and future monies payable by any Loan Party to any Corporate Guarantor, whether arising out of a right of subrogation or otherwise, are assigned to Agent as security for such Corporate Guarantor’s liability to Agent hereunder and are postponed and subordinated to Agent’s prior right to payment in full of Obligations. Except to the extent prohibited otherwise by this Agreement, all monies received by any Corporate Guarantor from any Loan Party shall be held by such Corporate Guarantor as agent and trustee for Agent. This assignment, postponement and subordination shall only terminate when the Obligations are paid in full in cash and this Agreement is irrevocably terminated.

(f) Each Loan Party acknowledges this assignment, postponement and subordination and, except as otherwise set forth herein, agrees to make no payments to any Corporate Guarantor without the prior written consent of Agent. Each Loan Party agrees to give full effect to the provisions hereof.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: MORTGAGE LOANS

Part I. Eligible Mortgage Loans

As to each Mortgage Loan included in the Borrowing Base on a Funding Date (and the related Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Assignment of Mortgage, Collateral Assignment and Mortgaged Property), the Borrowers shall be deemed to make the following representations and warranties to the Agent as of such date and as of each date Collateral Value is determined (certain defined terms used herein and not otherwise defined in the Loan Agreement appearing in Part II to this Annex Two):

(a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and in each Notice of Borrowing with respect to the Mortgage Loan is complete, true and correct in all material respects.

(b) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the Funding Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The first Monthly Payment shall be made, or shall have been made, with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note.

(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage securing the Mortgage Loan, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, which Borrowers and Mortgagor Customer are endeavoring and undertaking to cure or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. Borrower has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor Customer, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest thereunder.

(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination; except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Agent, and which has been delivered to the Agent and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required, and its terms are reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor Customer in respect of the Mortgage Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to the Agent and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

Annex Two - 1

(e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor Customer in respect of the Mortgage Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated. The Borrowers have no knowledge nor has it received any notice that any Mortgagor Customer in respect of the Mortgage Loan is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

(f) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by the Borrowers as of the date of origination consistent with the Underwriting Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Body as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1974. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Borrower, its successors and assigns (including without limitation, subsequent owners of the Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without 30 days' prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by the Borrowers. All premiums on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor Customer to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor Customer's failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor Customer's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor Customer. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor Customer has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. The Borrowers have not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor Customer's having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Borrower.

The Borrowers have not waived the performance by the Mortgagor Customer of any action, if the Mortgagor Customer's failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has any Borrower waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor Customer.

(i) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

(ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and

(iii) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.

(k) Validity of Mortgage Documents.

All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor Customer is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.

(m) Ownership. The Borrowers are the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and each Borrower has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer, pledge and assign the Mortgage Loan to the Agent free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, negative pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to assign, transfer and pledge each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Loan Agreement and following the pledge of each Mortgage Loan, the Agent will hold such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Annex Two - 4

(o) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney's opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and substance of which is acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring each Borrower, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (or to the extent a Mortgage Note provides for negative amortization, the maximum amount of negative amortization in accordance with the Mortgage), subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of paragraph (j) of this Part I of Annex Two, and any other matters that Borrowers agreed to allow to be outstanding against the Mortgaged Property, provided that such matters, would not affect the recovery of funds in the event of foreclosure, and in the case of adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor Customer has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses. The Borrower, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including the Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy, including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Borrower. Each title policy includes a clean Patriot Act and OFAC search.

(p) No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event has occurred 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, and neither the Borrowers nor their predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. No payment under any Mortgage Loan is more than sixty (60) days past due.

(q) No Mechanics' Liens. There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the Mortgage.

Annex Two - 5

(r) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property.

(s) Intentionally Deleted.

(t) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor Customer on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor Customer which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage.

(u) Conformance with Underwriting Guidelines and Agency Standards. The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines. The Borrowers have not made any representations to a Mortgagor Customer that are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used.

(v) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the Funding Date, all uses of the Mortgaged Property are lawful, and if the Mortgaged Property is or becomes occupied, then it is or it will be lawfully occupied. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. The Borrowers have not received notification from any Governmental Body that the Mortgaged 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, which Borrowers and Mortgagor Customer are not endeavoring to cure. The Borrowers have not received notice of any violation or failure to conform with any such law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate. The Mortgagor Customer represented at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor Customer would NOT occupy the Mortgaged Property as a residence.

(w) No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause (j) above.

(x) Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Agent to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor Customer.

(z) Transfer of Mortgage Loans. The Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.

(aa) Due-On-Sale. The Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder.

(bb) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by the Borrower, the Mortgagor Customer, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor Customer, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor Customer nor does it contain any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.

(cc) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor Customer prior to the Funding Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan.

(dd) Mortgaged Property Undamaged. There have not been any condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property and the Borrowers have no knowledge of any such proceedings.

(ee) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits; Interest Rate Adjustments. The origination and collection practices used by the originator, each servicer of the Mortgage Loan and the Borrowers with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in all respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Borrowers and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Borrowers have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. All Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited.

(gg) Other Insurance Policies. No action, inaction or event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable special hazard insurance policy, PMI Policy or bankruptcy bond, irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. In connection with the placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will be received by the Borrowers or by any officer, director, or employee of the Borrowers or any designee of the Borrowers or any corporation in which the Borrowers or any officer, director, or employee had a financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance.

(hh) Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act. The Mortgagor Customer has not notified the Borrower, and the Borrowers have no knowledge, of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor Customer under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940.

With respect to Table Funding Advances and Eligible Mortgage Loans less than $250,000, such Eligible Mortgage loan shall be accompanied by an internal valuation of the Mortgaged Property described in the Mortgage which secures such Mortgage Note, which valuation shall be acceptable to Agent in form and content. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Borrowers accept, agree and acknowledge that Agent may, as part of its process to verify Collateral values in connection with this Agreement, conduct such independent desktop as complete appraisals at Borrower’s cost of a sample of the Mortgaged Property as it deems necessary. The Borrowers further accept, agree and acknowledge that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may, at its sole discretion, conduct such independent desktop as complete appraisals at Borrowers’ cost on the Mortgaged Property as it deems necessary.

(jj) Disclosure Materials. If applicable, the Mortgagor Customer has executed a statement to the effect that the Mortgagor Customer has received all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of adjustable rate mortgage loans, and the Borrowers maintain such statement in the Mortgage File.

Annex Two - 8

(kk) No Defense to Insurance Coverage. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, no event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed on or prior to the Funding Date (whether or not known to the Borrowers on or prior to such date) which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any private mortgage insurance (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Borrower, the related Mortgagor Customer or any party involved in the application for such coverage, including the appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits or documents submitted therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or for any other reason under such coverage, but not including the failure of such insurer to pay by reason of such insurer's breach of such insurance policy or such insurer's financial inability to pay.

(ll) Capitalization of Interest. The Mortgage Note does not by its terms provide for the capitalization or forbearance of interest.

(mm) No Equity Participation. No document relating to the Mortgage Loan provides for any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the Mortgaged Property or a sharing in the appreciation of the value of the Mortgaged Property. The indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note is not convertible to an ownership interest in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor Customer and the Borrowers have not financed nor do they own directly or indirectly, any equity of any form in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor Customer.
