THE LENDERS’ COMMITMENTS, BORROWING PROCEDURES,
SECURITY INTEREST AND LENDER NOTES

Section 2.1 Lenders’ Commitments. (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement, the Lenders made an Advance pursuant to the Original Loan Agreement to the Borrower in the amount up to Seventy One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($71,250,000) (the “First Initial Advance”) and a subsequent Advance in the amount of up to One Hundred One Million Fifty Thousand Dollars ($101,050,000) (the “Second Initial Advance” and together with the First Initial Advance, the “Initial Advance”), in each case, for the purposes set forth in Section 2.8(a); provided, however that (i) subject to Section 2.1(d) of this Loan Agreement, the aggregate principal amount of all Advances from time to time outstanding under this Loan Agreement (including any Protective Advances) shall not exceed the Borrowing Base and (ii) no Lender shall be obligated to make any Advance to the Borrower to the extent that the aggregate outstanding amount of such Advances made by such Lender hereunder exceeds such Lender’s Commitment as set forth in Schedule 2.1(a), as the same is amended (or deemed amended) from time to time by Assignment and Assumption Agreements executed as provided in Section 13.4 of this Loan Agreement, nor shall any Lender be obligated to make any Advance required to be made by any other Lender.

(b) So long as the Borrower has requested the same pursuant to a Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent as set forth below, and subject to the conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement, the Lenders shall make Ongoing Maintenance Advances to the Borrower.

(c) So long as the Borrower has requested the same pursuant to a Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent as set forth below and subject to the conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement, the Lenders may make Additional Policy Advances to the Borrower in amounts determined by the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that subject to Section 2.1(d) of this Loan Agreement, the aggregate principal amount of all Advances outstanding under this Loan Agreement (including any Protective Advances) shall not exceed the Borrowing Base.

(d) Without regard to the Borrowing Base and without any Borrowing Request, the Lenders shall be entitled to make Advances on behalf of the Borrower as the Lenders determine in their sole and absolute discretion are necessary in order to make premium payments and to pay other costs and expenses to ensure that one or more Pledged Policies selected by the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion, other than Policies that are sold as contemplated by Section 2.7 of this Loan Agreement, remain in full force and effect, as determined by the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion (such Advances, together with any Advances made from time to time by the Lenders hereunder to pay any costs and expenses in defending the Collateral against any lawsuits or in any other proceedings (including attorneys’ fees) and any Advances made from time to time by the Lenders hereunder after and during the continuance of an Unmatured Event of Default or an Event of Default shall collectively be referred to herein as “Protective Advances”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Protective Advance, such Protective Advance may be made by the Lenders even if such Protective Advance, when taken together with the outstanding balance of all previous Advances, would cause the aggregate outstanding balance of the Advances to exceed the Borrowing Base as of the date of such Protective Advance. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is understood that with respect to the making of each of the First Initial Advance and the Second Initial Advance, the aggregate principal amount of all Advances outstanding under this Loan Agreement after the making of such Advance (including any Protective Advances) may have exceeded the Borrowing Base so long as all other conditions precedent to the making of such Advance were satisfied.

Section 2.2 Borrowing Procedures.

(a) The Borrower requested each of the First Initial Advance and the Second Initial Advance hereunder by giving notice to the Administrative Agent of the proposed borrowing. Such notice (herein called a “Borrowing Request”) was in the form of Exhibit A and with respect to the Borrowing Request related to the First Initial Advance, was permitted to have been prepared and delivered by the Borrower up to five (5) Business Days before the date of execution of the Original Loan Agreement such that the related Proposed First Initial Advance Notice and First Initial Advance Acceptance may have been executed concurrently with the Original Loan Agreement. The Borrowing Request for each of the First Initial Advance and the Second Initial Advance (i) specified the date and aggregate amount of the proposed First Initial Advance or Second Initial Advance, as applicable, (ii) identified the Subject Policies proposed to be pledged hereunder in connection with such Advance and confirmed that the related Collateral Packages had been uploaded to the FTP Site, (iii) contained a statement of the amount of payments anticipated to be made to the equity holders of the Borrower with the proceeds of such Advance and the amount of such Advance that was deposited into the Reserve Account and (iv) attached a Borrowing Base Certificate, signed by an officer of the Borrower.

(b) The Borrower may request an Ongoing Maintenance Advance hereunder by delivering a fully executed and completed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent. Each Borrowing Request for a proposed Ongoing Maintenance Advance shall (i) specify the date and aggregate amount of the proposed Ongoing Maintenance Advance and (ii) attach a Borrowing Base Certificate, signed by an officer of the Borrower. The Borrowing Request for the initial Ongoing Maintenance Advance was permitted to have been prepared and delivered by the Borrower up to five (5) Business Days before the date of execution of the Original Loan Agreement such that the related Subsequent Advance Acceptance may have been executed concurrently with the Original Loan Agreement.

(c) In the event the Borrower desires an Additional Policy Advance, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such desire in writing, which written notice shall identify the Additional Policies proposed to be pledged in connection with the making of such Additional Policy Advance and be accompanied by full and complete Collateral Packages for such Additional Policies. The Borrower shall not deliver any Borrowing Request with respect to an Additional Policy Advance unless and until (i) it has wired the related Expense Deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account following confirmation of the amount thereof and (ii) it has received written notice from the Administrative Agent confirming that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have completed their due diligence with respect to the Additional Policies proposed to be pledged hereunder in connection with the making of such Additional Policy Advance, and indicating which Additional Policies, if any, will be accepted as Collateral hereunder and the estimated amounts that the Lenders will be willing to fund under this Loan Agreement with respect to such Additional Policies. After the Borrower’s wiring of the related Expense Deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account and the Borrower’s receipt of such written notice from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may request an Additional Policy Advance hereunder with respect to such Additional Policies by delivering a fully executed and completed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent. Each Borrowing Request related to a proposed Additional Policy Advance shall (i) specify the date and aggregate amount of the proposed Additional Policy Advance, (ii) identify the Additional Policies proposed to be pledged hereunder in connection with such Additional Policy Advance and confirm that the related Collateral Packages have been uploaded to the FTP Site, (iii) contain a statement of the amount of payments anticipated to be made to the equity holders of the Borrower with the proceeds of such Additional Policy Advance and (iv) attach a Borrowing Base Certificate, signed by an officer of the Borrower. The Lenders shall be under no obligation to make any Additional Policy Advance. The Lenders may make Additional Policy Advances in their sole and absolute discretion and may require additional documentation (including opinions of counsel) and the satisfaction of conditions, including the payment of additional fees, all as determined by the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion.

Section 2.3 Funding. (a) No later than five (5) Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Borrowing Request for the First Initial Advance, the Lenders, in their sole and absolute discretion and acting unanimously, determined whether to approve the Subject Policies, and the Administrative Agent notified the Borrower of (i) the determination of the amount, if any, the Lenders would fund (a “Proposed First Initial Advance”, and such notice of the Proposed First Initial Advance, a “Proposed First Initial Advance Notice”), (ii) the amount of the Closing Fee and (iii) the amount of the payments to the equity holders of the Borrower that the Lenders approved with respect to such Proposed First Initial Advance. Such determination was made in the Lenders’ sole and absolute discretion. As the Lenders were willing to make such Proposed First Initial Advance and the Borrower determined to accept such Proposed First Initial Advance, on or before the third (3rd) Business Day after the delivery of the Proposed First Initial Advance Notice by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower notified the Administrative Agent that the Borrower accepted the Proposed First Initial Advance (a “First Initial Advance Acceptance”). On the first (1st) Business Day following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the First Initial Advance Acceptance, and subject to the complete satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article VII with respect to the First Initial Advance and the limitations set forth in Section 2.1, the Lenders distributed funds in the amount set forth in the Proposed First Initial Advance Notice in accordance with Schedule 2.8.

(b) No later than five (5) Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Borrowing Request for the Second Initial Advance, the Administrative Agent notified the Borrower of the resulting Second Initial Advance to be funded by the Lenders on the related Advance Date (such notice, the “Second Initial Advance Acceptance”). Subject to the complete satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article VII with respect to the Second Initial Advance and the limitations set forth in Section 2.1, the Lenders distributed funds in the amount set forth in the Second Initial Advance Acceptance in accordance with Schedule 2.8.

(c) No later than five (5) Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Borrowing Request for an Ongoing Maintenance Advance, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the resulting total Ongoing Maintenance Advance to be funded by the Lenders on the related Subsequent Advance Date (such notice, the related “Subsequent Advance Acceptance”) subject to the immediately following sentence. Subject to the complete satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article VII with respect to such Ongoing Maintenance Advance and the limitations set forth in Section 2.1, the Lenders shall distribute funds in the amount set forth in such Subsequent Advance Acceptance to the Payment Account to be disbursed by the Securities Intermediary in accordance with the terms of the Account Control Agreement.

(d) No later than five (5) Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Borrowing Request for an Additional Policy Advance, the Lenders shall, in their sole and absolute discretion and acting unanimously, determine whether to approve the Additional Policies, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the determination of the amount, if any, the Lenders will fund (a “Proposed Additional Policy Advance”, and such notice of the Proposed Additional Policy Advance, a “Proposed Additional Policy Advance Notice”); provided that such determination shall be in the Lenders’ sole and absolute discretion. If the Lenders are willing to make such Proposed Additional Policy Advance and the Borrower determines to accept such Proposed Additional Policy Advance, on or before the third (3rd) Business Day after the delivery of the Proposed Additional Policy Advance Notice by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent that the Borrower accepts the Proposed Additional Policy Advance (an “Additional Policy Advance Acceptance”) which notice shall specify the agreed Additional Policy Advance Amount; for avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower does not deliver an Additional Policy Advance Acceptance by 5:00 pm, New York time on the third (3rd) Business Day following the delivery of the Proposed Additional Policy Advance Notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have rejected such Proposed Additional Policy Advance. On the third (3rd) Business Day following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Additional Policy Advance Acceptance, and subject to the complete satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article VII with respect to such Additional Policy Advance and the limitations set forth in Section 2.1, the Lenders shall distribute funds in the amount set forth in the Proposed Additional Policy Advance Notice to the Payment Account to be disbursed by the Securities Intermediary in accordance with the terms of the Account Control Agreement.

(e) The Borrower shall not deliver more than three (3) Borrowing Requests for an Ongoing Maintenance Advance in any calendar month and shall not deliver more than one (1) Borrowing Request for an Additional Policy Advance in any calendar month. In addition, the Borrower shall not deliver any Borrowing Request if the Borrower has previously delivered a Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent in respect of an Additional Policy Advance and the Administrative Agent has not yet delivered the related Proposed Additional Policy Advance Notice, the Borrower has not yet delivered the related Additional Policy Advance Acceptance, the Borrower has not yet rejected the related Proposed Additional Policy Advance or the Borrower has delivered the related Additional Policy Advance Acceptance and the related Subsequent Advance Date has not yet occurred, in each case, in accordance with Section 2.3(d). The Borrower shall not deliver a Borrowing Request for an Ongoing Maintenance Advance or an Additional Policy Advance unless such delivery is made on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date.

Section 2.4 Representation and Warranty. Each Borrowing Request pursuant to Section 2.2 and each acceptance of an Advance by the Borrower shall automatically constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that on the date such Borrowing Request is delivered to the Administrative Agent and on the related Advance Date (a) the representations and warranties contained in Article VIII will be true and correct in all respects as of such Borrowing Request date and as of such Advance Date as though made on such dates, except to the extent any such representation or warranty relates to a specific date, in which case, such representation or warranty will be true and correct in all respects as of such date as though made on such date, (b) all of the conditions precedent to the making of an Advance contained in Article VII have been satisfied or will have been satisfied as of such Advance Date and (c) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will result from the making of such Advance.

Section 2.5 Lender Notes. With respect to each Lender, the Advances made by such Lender to the Borrower shall be evidenced by a single promissory note executed by the Borrower (as the same may be amended, modified, extended or replaced from time to time, a “Lender Note” and collectively, the “Lender Notes”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, with appropriate insertions to reflect Advances (or portion thereof) actually funded by such Lender, the related applicable interest rates thereof and related repayments and appropriate revisions to reflect assignments effected in accordance with Section 13.4 of this Loan Agreement, payable to such Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, any Protective Advances made by a Lender shall not be required to be evidenced in its Lender Note and the Administrative Agent’s records shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Protective Advances have been made. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to its Lender Note (or on any continuation of such grid) or at such Lender’s option, in the records of such Lender, which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal of, and the interest rates and Interest Periods applicable to the Advances made by such Lender and related repayments and appropriate revisions to reflect assignments effected in accordance with Section 13.4 of this Loan Agreement. Such notations and records (absent manifest error) shall be conclusive evidence of the subject matter thereof; provided, however, that the failure to make any such notations or maintain any such records shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of the Borrower. The Borrower hereby agrees to promptly execute and deliver a new Lender Note upon any assignment to a new Lender effected in accordance with Section 13.4 of this Loan Agreement, and each Lender making an assignment of all or any portion of its Lender Note will either (i) if such assignment is an assignment of its entire Lender Note, deliver its Lender Note to the Borrower for termination and cancellation effective upon Borrower’s execution and delivery of such new Lender Note to the assignee thereof or (ii) if such assignment is an assignment in part of such Lender Note, deliver its Lender Note to the Borrower for termination and cancellation effective upon Borrower’s execution and delivery of a new Lender Note to the assignee thereof and a new Lender Note to such Lender.

Section 2.6 Security Interest.

(a) To secure the timely repayment of the principal of, and interest on, the Advances, and all other Obligations of the Borrower to any Secured Party, and the prompt performance when due of all covenants of the Borrower hereunder and under any other Transaction Document, whether existing or arising as of the Closing Date or thereafter, due or to become due, direct or indirect, the Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing, first priority security interest in, and assignment of, all of the Borrower’s rights, titles and interests in, to and under all of the following, whether owned, existing or arising as of the Closing Date or thereafter: all assets of the Borrower, including but not limited to all right, title and interest of the Borrower in the Pledged Policies and proceeds thereof; all accounts receivable, notes receivable, claims receivable and related proceeds including but not limited to, cash, loans, securities, and accounts; contract rights; the contracts with and the rights to and against the Securities Intermediary, in its capacity as owner of record of the Pledged Policies, and the Custodian; the Collection Account, the Reserve Account, the Payment Account, the Policy Account and any other account of the Borrower (excluding only the Borrower Account); reserve accounts; escrow agreements and related books and records; the rights under any purchase agreements relating to such Policies; all data, documents and instruments contained in the Collateral Packages; and such other assets, tangible or intangible, real or personal of the Borrower. All of the rights and assets described in the previous sentence are herein referred to collectively as “Collateral”; provided, however, that this definition of “Collateral” does not limit any other collateral that may be pledged to secure the Advances under any other Transaction Document.

(b) The Borrower shall file such financing statements, and execute and deliver such agreements, certificates and documents, and take such other actions, as the Administrative Agent requests, in each case, in order to perfect, evidence or protect the security interest granted pursuant to Section 2.6(a), including without limitation delivering a collateral assignment in respect of each Pledged Policy subject to this Loan Agreement, naming the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, as the collateral assignee, filed with, and acknowledged to have been filed by, the applicable Issuing Insurance Company; provided, that the foregoing collateral assignment shall not apply to the portion of the face amount that is retained by a third party under any Retained Death Benefit Policy. On or prior to each Advance Date, the Borrower shall have delivered or caused to be delivered, or shall deliver or cause to be delivered, completed but unsigned Change Forms for the Subject Policies to the Securities Intermediary. The Borrower shall cause the Securities Intermediary to execute all such Change Forms in blank to be held by the Securities Intermediary. If an Issuing Insurance Company updates its Change Forms, at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered completed but unsigned updated Change Forms for the related Pledged Policies within five (5) Business Days of such request. The Borrower shall cause the Securities Intermediary to execute such Change Forms in blank to be held by the Securities Intermediary. The Borrower grants to the Administrative Agent, as its irrevocable attorney-in-fact and otherwise, the right, in the Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, to complete or direct the Securities Intermediary to complete and send any and all Change Forms previously delivered to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or otherwise obtained by the Administrative Agent, to the applicable Issuing Insurance Companies. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the foregoing grant has been coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file such financing statements and other documentation as the Administrative Agent determines are necessary or advisable to perfect such security interest without the signature of the Borrower, provided however, notwithstanding any other provision of any Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to file such financing statements, continuation statements or amendments thereto. The Borrower hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as the Borrower’s irrevocable attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority to take any other action to sign or endorse the Borrower’s name on any Collateral, and to enforce or collect any of the Collateral, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the foregoing appointment of the Administrative Agent as the Borrower’s irrevocable attorney-in-fact has been coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The Borrower hereby ratifies and approves all acts of such attorney-in-fact, and agrees that the Administrative Agent will not be liable for any act or omission with respect thereto, except to the extent that such act or omission constitutes gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent.

(c) Upon the receipt of the related Net Proceeds by the Lenders after the sale of a Pledged Policy pursuant to Section 2.7, the security interest of the Administrative Agent in such Pledged Policy for the benefit of the Secured Parties shall be released. Upon the indefeasible repayment in full of all of the Advances then outstanding and all other Obligations and termination of all Commitments and this Loan Agreement, (i) the security interest of the Administrative Agent in the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties shall be released and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall file, promptly upon written request, such releases or assignments, as applicable, and to take such other actions as the Borrower shall reasonably request in writing in order to evidence any such release.

Section 2.7 Sale of Collateral.

Except as set forth in the second paragraph of this Section 2.7, the Borrower may not sell any Collateral without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that such sale is made on arms-length terms, at fair market value for cash (in U.S. dollars) and is not made to an Affiliate of the Borrower (a “Permissible Sale”). The Borrower shall apply the Net Proceeds from a Permissible Sale to prepay outstanding Advances in accordance with Section 4.1(b). The Borrower shall provide written notice of any such sale to the Administrative Agent at least seven (7) Business Days prior to any such sale and shall certify to the Administrative Agent that such sale constitutes a Permissible Sale. The Borrower agrees that it would not be unreasonable for the Required Lenders to withhold their consent to any such sale if immediately prior to such sale there exists, or immediately after such sale there would exist, an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default.

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, if the Collateral consists of one-hundred (100) or fewer Pledged Policies insuring the lives of one-hundred (100) or fewer distinct Insureds, then, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, the Borrower may sell one or more of the Pledged Policies to any Person, including, without limitation, an Affiliate of the Borrower, so long as the Net Proceeds from any such sale are equal to or greater than the outstanding principal balance of all Advances plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon, plus the Yield Maintenance Fee applicable thereto, plus all other Obligations owing by the Borrower, and the Commitments and this Loan Agreement will be terminated after the application of such Net Proceeds. The Borrower shall apply the Net Proceeds from any such sale in accordance with Section 4.1(b). The Borrower shall provide written notice of any such sale to the Administrative Agent at least seven (7) Business Days prior to any such sale.

Section 2.8 Permitted Purposes. (a) The Borrower has not used and it shall not use the proceeds of any Advance made hereunder or under the Original Loan Agreement except for the following purposes:

(i) with respect to the First Initial Advance and the Second Initial Advance, (a) to pay the purchase price for the Subject Policies to the Parent pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, a portion of which funds, with respect to the First Initial Advance, were immediately used to repay indebtedness outstanding under that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement dated May 11, 2015, among Parent, GWG DLP Funding II, LLC, GWG Holdings, Inc., Autobahn Funding Company LLC, DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank; (b) to pay working capital needs and expenses of the Borrower; (c) to pay any transaction costs related to such Advance and, with respect to the First Initial Advance, to pay closing fees payable to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent; (d) with respect to the Second Initial Advance, to make payments to the sole equity holder of the Borrower (which such sole equity holder may distribute to its equity holders) in an amount that did not exceed $84,800,000, (e) with respect to the Second Initial Advance, to fund the Reserve Account, (f) with respect to the Second Initial Advance, to pay Ongoing Maintenance Costs and (g) to make any other payments or distributions, as approved in writing by the Required Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion; and

In delivering the instructions required under Section 5.2(b) and Section 5.2(c), the Administrative Agent shall have the right to rely absolutely upon the information in the Calculation Date Reports, unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders provide alternative information to the Borrower by notice in writing (such notice an “Alternative Information Notice”) not more than five (5) Business Days after receipt of the related Calculation Date Report by the Administrative Agent, in which case, provided that the Borrower shall not have objected to such Alternative Information Notice in writing within one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall have the absolute right to act in accordance with such Alternative Information Notice. In the event that the Borrower shall have objected to such Alternative Information Notice, then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objection within five (5) days following the date on which the Borrower objects, the amount subject to such objection shall be retained in the Collection Account during the pendency of such negotiations and the amount not subject to such objection shall be distributed in accordance with Section 5.2(b) or Section 5.2(c), as applicable, and in accordance with such Alternative Information Notice. The amount subject to such objection shall be distributed in accordance with Section 5.2(b) or Section 5.2(c), as applicable, (i) if such objection is resolved, on the Business Day following the date on which such objection is resolved, in which case such amounts shall be distributed in accordance with such resolution or (ii) if such objection is not resolved, on the first Business Day following the day that is five (5) days following the date on which the Borrower objects to such Alternative Information Notice, in which case such amounts shall be distributed in accordance with the relevant Alternative Information Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower fails to deliver the related Calculation Date Report or the related Payment Instructions on or prior to the related Calculation Date, then the Administrative Agent acting alone, based on information in the Administrative Agent’s possession, shall be entitled to prepare such Calculation Date Report and Payment Instructions and thereby instruct the Securities Intermediary to distribute Collections deposited in the Collection Account, and all other amounts deposited in the Collection Account, to be distributed in accordance with this Section 5.2, and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever in respect of such instructions (the procedures set forth in this sentence if the Borrower fails to deliver the related Calculation Date Report or the related Payment Instructions on or prior to the related Calculation Date, the “Borrower Failure Procedures”).

Whenever any Covered Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the related Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy or an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof.

Section 7.5 Lender Valuation.

(a) Lender Valuation. With respect to each Distribution Date occurring prior to September 27, 2027, the Administrative Agent shall, within three (3) Business Days prior to the related Calculation Date, provide the Borrower with the Lender Valuation of the Pledged Policies (including the amount of the Lender Valuation allocated to each individual Pledged Policy) as of such Calculation Date, along with the calculation of the Borrowing Base. In addition, prior to September 27, 2027, with respect to each calendar month in which a Distribution Date does not occur, the Administrative Agent shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month, provide the Borrower with the Lender Valuation of the Pledged Policies (including the amount of the Lender Valuation allocated to each individual Pledged Policy) as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month. The Borrower and Required Lenders hereby acknowledge that the methodology and metrics utilized by the Required Lenders in determining the Lender Valuation may be different than the methodology and metrics utilized by the Borrower and its Affiliates in determining the value of the Pledged Policies in connection with preparing the financial statements of the Borrower and its Affiliates.

(b) Lender Valuation Dispute. Subject to the third to last sentence of this Section 7.5(b), if the Borrower disagrees with a Lender Valuation relating to a determination of the LTV, it may dispute such Lender Valuation (a “Valuation Dispute”). The Borrower shall obtain a valuation of the Collateral from a third-party acceptable to the Required Lenders in their commercially reasonable judgment who is experienced in valuing Policies (a “Borrower Valuation”). In the event the Borrower Valuation (A) is more than ten percent (10%) higher than the Lender Valuation of the Pledged Policies and (B) results in an LTV of less than fifty percent (50%), then, at the Administrative Agent’s option, (i) on the first Distribution Date occurring after the Borrower obtains such Borrower Valuation, such Borrower Valuation will be used for the determination of the LTV and the Cash Sweep shall be based on such determination (and for each subsequent Distribution Date, the Lender Valuation, as determined by the Administrative Agent from time to time, will be used for all subsequent determinations of the LTV, subject to the Borrower initiating any future Valuation Disputes in accordance with the terms hereof) or (ii) the Administrative Agent may request in writing that the Borrower repay all the Advances outstanding plus accrued interest and expenses in respect thereof (a “Payoff Notice”). If the Borrower does not repay such amount in full within one hundred eighty (180) days of the Payoff Notice, the Borrower will no longer have the right to initiate a Valuation Dispute and the Lender Valuation, as determined by the Administrative Agent from time to time, will be used for all subsequent determinations of the LTV. During such one hundred eighty (180) day period, the LTV and the related Lender Valuation shall equal the amounts as initially calculated by the Required Lenders and the Cash Sweep shall be based on such initial calculation. No Yield Maintenance Fee shall be payable in connection with the repayment of Advances by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 7.5(b).

Section 7.6 Conditions Precedent to First Advance Following the Amended and Restated Closing Date.

Upon instructions from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall, and shall cause the Servicer (and the Administrative Agent may cause the Custodian) to release any document related to any Collateral to the Administrative Agent. If an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent, at the Borrower’s expense, shall have the right to conduct a Collateral Audit at any time and as often the Administrative Agent determines is necessary or desirable. For the avoidance of doubt, any review and evaluation of Additional Policies conducted by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with a Borrowing Request shall not constitute a Collateral Audit.

(i) to demand, xxx for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due thereon or by virtue thereof,

(ii) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto,

The Administrative 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 Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower, the Parent, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary or the Servicer.

Section 12.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex, e-mail or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower or the Servicer), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of its pro rata share of the Advances for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Subject to the Transaction Documents, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of an interest in any of the Lender Notes.

Section 12.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender referring to this Loan Agreement, describing such Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action, subject to the Transaction Documents with respect to such Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders.

Section 12.6 Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or the Servicer, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Servicer and made its own decision to make its Advances hereunder and enter into this Loan Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Servicer.

The agreements in this Section 12.7 shall survive the payment of all of the Lender Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder and the termination of this Loan Agreement.

Section 12.8 The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or the Servicer or any of their Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. With respect to Advances made or renewed by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 12.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon twenty (20) days’ notice to the Lenders effective upon the appointment of a successor agent. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as the Administrative Agent under this Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be the initial Administrative Agent, an Affiliate of either the outgoing Administrative Agent or the initial Administrative Agent or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or under the laws of another country which is doing business in the United States of America and, if such successor agent is not the initial Administrative Agent, an Affiliate of either the outgoing Administrative Agent or the initial Administrative Agent, together with its Affiliates, having a combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least $100,000,000, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Loan Agreement or any holders of an interest in any of the Lender Notes. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as the Administrative Agent, all of the provisions of this Article XII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
