This LOAN AGREEMENT (as amended or supplemented from time to time, this “Agreement”) dated as of November 20, 2008, is by and among Passive Asset Transactions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PATI”), RFC Asset Holdings II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RAHI” and, together with PATI, each a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), Residential Funding Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RFC”), Residential Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ResCap”), GMAC Mortgage, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GMAC Mortgage”, and together with RFC and ResCap, each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), GMAC LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Initial Lender”), the financial institutions and other Persons that are or may from time to time become parties hereto as Lenders (together with the Initial Lender and their respective successors and assigns, each a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”) and GMAC LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as agent for the Lenders (in such capacity together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Lender Agent”).

BACKGROUND

The Borrowers desire to obtain Commitments from the Lenders so that the Lenders will from time to time and subject to the terms hereof make revolving Loans to the Borrowers, which Loans are secured by the Collateral.

The Guarantors have entered into this Agreement and have agreed to provide guarantees of the Obligations hereunder and to pledge Collateral to secure such guarantees.

The Lenders are willing, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereafter set forth, to extend the Commitments and make revolving Loans to the Borrowers.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE II

COMMITMENTS, LOANS, BORROWING, PREPAYMENT

Section 2.01. Commitments and Loans. (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Lenders severally agrees, from time to time on any Business Day occurring on or after Closing Date but prior to the Commitment Termination Date, to make loans (relative to each Lender, its “Loans”) to the Borrowers in an aggregate amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Loans requested by the Borrowers to be made on such Business Day. The Lenders shall distribute the proceeds of such Loan to the Borrowers no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the related Funding Date in accordance with Section 2.03.

(b) On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Borrowers may from time to time borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans. No Lender shall be required to make any Loan if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount would exceed the Available Amount or (ii) such Lender’s Outstanding Lender Loan Amount would exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Available Amount.

Section 2.02. Note. (a) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note executed by each Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(a)(i) hereto (a “Note”), dated the date hereof, payable to the applicable Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Commitment Amount. The


		2		Loan Agreement

Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to such Lender’s Note (or on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal amount of, and the interest rate and Interest Period applicable to the Loans evidenced thereby. Such notations shall, to the extent not inconsistent with notations made by the Lender Agent in the Register, be conclusive and binding on each Obligor absent manifest error; provided that, the failure of any Lender to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of any Obligor.

(b) The Borrowers hereby designate the Lender Agent to serve as the Borrowers’ agent, solely for the purpose of this clause, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which the Lender Agent will record each Lender’s Commitments, the Loans (and interest due thereon) made by each Lender and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, annexed to which the Lender Agent shall retain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance, and each participation (as described in Section 9.04), delivered to the Lender Agent pursuant to Article IX. Failure to make any recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Obligor’s Obligations. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Obligors, the Lender Agent and the other Lender Parties shall treat each Person in whose name a Loan is registered as the owner thereof for the purposes of all Facility Documents, notwithstanding notice or any provision herein to the contrary. Any assignment or transfer of a Commitment or the Loans made pursuant hereto shall be registered in the Register only upon delivery to the Lender Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance that has been executed by the requisite parties pursuant to Article IX. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender Agent shall record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment or transfer of a Lender’s Commitment or Loans, including those transfers or assignments to an Affiliate, shall be effective unless such assignment or transfer shall have been recorded in the Register by the Lender Agent as provided in this Section.

(c) The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender (but in each case only as to its relevant portion of the Register), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Section 2.03. Borrowing Procedures. (a) By delivering a Borrower Funding Request to the Lender Agent on or before 7:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to any Funding Date, the Borrowers may from time to time irrevocably request that on the requested Funding Date Loans be made in an amount equal to the lesser of the Specified Drawdown Amount and the remaining unused portion of the Loans available to be advanced hereunder; provided that (i) the amount of the initial Loans requested pursuant to the Initial Borrower Funding Request shall be not be less than $25,000,000, (ii) the amount of Loans requested pursuant to any Borrower Funding Request (including the Initial Borrower Funding Request) shall not be greater than the difference between (A) the Available Amount minus (B) the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount and (iii) no Borrower Funding Request may be made unless either (A) (1) the Unrestricted ResCap Liquidity at the opening of business on the proposed Funding Date (as estimated by the close of business on the Business Day prior to such Funding Date) is less than the Unrestricted ResCap Liquidity Threshold and (2) based on such estimates, after giving effect to the advance of such Loans, the Unrestricted ResCap Liquidity


		3		Loan Agreement

does not exceed the Unrestricted ResCap Liquidity Draw Threshold or (B) (1) the Consolidated Liquidity at the opening of business on the proposed Funding Date (as estimated by the close of business on the Business Day prior to such Funding Date) is less than $750,000,000 and (2) based on such estimates, after giving effect to the advance of such Loans, the Consolidated Liquidity does not exceed the Consolidated Liquidity Draw Threshold. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Loans to be made with respect to any Borrower Funding Request shall be made on the Business Day immediately following the date on which such Borrower Funding Request is delivered. On or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Funding Date, each Lender shall deposit with the Lender Agent same day funds in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Loans. Such deposit will be made to an account which the Lender Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Lenders. To the extent funds are received from the Lenders, the Lender Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrowers by wire transfer to the accounts the Borrowers shall have specified in their Borrower Funding Request. No Lender’s obligation to make any Loan shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to make any Loan.

(b) If the Borrowers determine in good faith on any Business Day that their estimate of Unrestricted ResCap Liquidity or Consolidated Liquidity is incorrect, the Borrowers may request in writing that the Lenders fund Loans on such Business Day. The Lenders may, in their sole discretion, agree to such request, but it is understood and agreed they are not required to do so. In the event that any Lender deposits the proceeds of its Loans prior to the time required under Section 2.03(a), such deposit shall be deemed a waiver by such Lender of any notice requirements with respect to such Loan under this Agreement.

(c) With respect to any Funding Date and as a condition to the advance of any Loans relating to such Funding Date, the Borrowers shall deliver, on the Business Day prior to such Funding Date, to the Lender Agent a Borrowing Base Report including the Borrowing Base as of such Business Day.

(d) By delivering a Borrower Funding Request, the Borrowers represent and warrant to each Lender that, after giving effect to the making of the requested Loans thereunder, all conditions precedent to such Loan specified in Section 5.02 have been satisfied and all statements in clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) of Schedule 5.02 are true and correct.

Section 2.04. Borrowing Base. (a) On or prior to the Initial Funding Date, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Lender Agent the Initial Collateral Value Report.

(b) After the Initial Funding Date, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Lender Agent an updated Monthly Collateral Report no less frequently than once per calendar month and no later than the eleventh Business Day of each calendar month (commencing with December 2008). For purposes of preparing each Collateral Value Report, the Borrowers shall calculate the Collateral Value of the Qualifying Collateral in accordance with Schedule 2.04.

(c) The Borrowers shall calculate, or cause to be calculated, the Collateral Value of the Qualifying Collateral in accordance with Schedule 2.04 and the Borrowing Base on every Business Day following the Initial Funding Date; it being understood that


		4		Loan Agreement

the Collateral Value of assets consisting of Eligible Warehouse Loans or Supporting Assets for the Flume No. 8 Note or any other Asset which the Lender Agent may so designate in the applicable Collateral Addition Designation Notice may be calculated using the most recent Carrying Value for such assets as periodically recalculated by the Obligors in accordance with their standard practices and procedures. The Borrowers shall deliver, electronically or otherwise, the results of the calculations required under this clause (b) to the Lender Agent by the close of the applicable Business Day.

(d) At the reasonable request of the Lender Agent, the Borrowers shall provide any reports, files, spreadsheets or other materials used by the Obligors in calculating the Borrowing Base as of any date of determination. If the Lender Agent shall dispute the calculation of the Borrowing Base as of any date of determination, the calculation by the Lender Agent of such Borrowing Base shall be binding for all purposes hereunder and the Borrowers shall make the payment, if any, required by Section 2.08(b) in connection with such recalculated Borrowing Base.

(e) The Borrowers shall notify the Lender Agent if at any time they determine that on any day the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount as of such day exceeded the Borrowing Base as of such day.

Section 2.05. Interest. Interest shall accrue on each Loan prior to its maturity for each day during the related Interest Period at a rate equal to (a) the sum of (x) the applicable LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period and (y) the Applicable Margin, divided by (b) 360 days. Interest shall accrue on the Loans after their maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and on any other amount not paid when due under the Facility Documents (including without limitation any prepayment due under Section 2.08(b)) for each day during a related Interest Period at a rate equal to (a) the Default Rate, divided by (b) 360 days. Interest shall be payable (i) in arrears with respect to each Interest Period through the final day of each Interest Period (regardless of whether such day is a Business Day), such amount to be payable on the first Business Day following the end of such Interest Period, (ii) on the applicable Loan Repayment Date or (iii) on that portion of Loans the maturity of which is accelerated pursuant to Section 8.02, immediately upon such acceleration. The Lender Agent shall determine the LIBOR Rate for each Loan prior to the beginning of each Interest Period, as set forth in the definition of “LIBOR Rate.” The Lender Agent shall also calculate the amount of interest and, if applicable, any Breakage Costs or other amounts due to be paid by the Borrowers from time to time hereunder (including in connection with any prepayment or repayment of Loans permitted hereunder) and shall provide a written statement thereof to the Borrowers at least two Business Days prior to the due date of such payment (or the relevant repayment or prepayment after having received a notice thereof); provided that failure to provide such statements on a timely basis shall not relieve the Borrowers of the obligation to pay any interest and principal due on the applicable payment date (based upon their good faith calculation of the amount due, such amount to be promptly reconciled after receipt of a subsequent statement from the Lender Agent) and other such amounts hereunder promptly upon receipt of such statement.

Section 2.06. [Reserved]


		5		Loan Agreement

Section 2.07. Alternate Rate of Interest; Increased Costs. (a) If, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period, the Lender Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (i) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period; or (ii) that the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its Loans; or (iii) that, after notice from an affected Lender, it has become unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain Loans hereunder using the LIBOR Rate, then the Lender Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers by telephone, facsimile, or other electronic means as promptly as practicable thereafter and, commencing with the Interest Period immediately following the Interest Period during which such notice is provided to the Borrowers until the Lender Agent notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, all Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin plus the rate per annum that the Lender Agent determines in its reasonable discretion adequately reflects the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining the Loans for such Interest Period.

(b) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to reimburse each Lender for any increase in the cost to such Lender of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by such Lender in respect of, such Lender’s Commitments and the making, continuing, maintaining or conversion of Loans hereunder that arise in connection with any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase in after the Closing Date of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority; provided, however, that any such changes with respect to increased capital costs and taxes shall be governed by the terms of Sections 2.07(c) and 3.02, respectively. For the purposes of this Section 2.07(b), taxes shall include all present or future taxes, fees, levies, imposts, deductions, duties, withholdings, assessments or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto. Each affected Lender shall promptly notify the Lender Agent and the Borrowers in writing of the occurrence of any such event, stating the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable jointly and severally by the Borrowers directly to such Lender within ten (10) days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.

(c) If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender, and such Lender determines (in good faith but in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of the Commitments or the Loans made by such Lender is reduced to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then upon notice from time to time by such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Lender Agent), the Borrowers shall within ten (10) days following receipt of such notice jointly and severally pay directly to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of such Lender as to any such additional amount or amounts shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (acting reasonably) shall deem applicable.


		6		Loan Agreement

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to Sections 2.07(a), (b) or (c) for any such increased cost or reduction incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender demands, or notifies the Borrowers of its intention to demand, compensation therefor, provided further that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.07, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrowers, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another lending office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 2.07(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Sections 2.07(a), (b), (c) or (d).

Section 2.08. Mandatory Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall jointly and severally repay the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount with respect to all Loans and all other amounts owing under this Agreement in full on the Loan Repayment Date. Loans may be prepaid in accordance with the terms of Section 2.09 hereof and, to the extent prepaid, may be re-borrowed hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof (including satisfaction of all conditions precedent contained in Section 5.02).

(b) If, on any Business Day (a “Borrowing Base Shortfall Day”), the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount on such day exceeds the Borrowing Base on such day by an amount equal to or greater than $250,000 (such circumstance, a “Borrowing Base Deficiency”), the Borrowers shall, within one (1) Business Day after the Borrowing Base Shortfall Day, jointly and severally repay outstanding Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the Borrowing Base Deficiency. The Borrowers shall deliver a Repayment Notice with respect to each repayment of outstanding Loan amounts made pursuant to this paragraph by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day such repayment is due.

(c) On each Business Day (a “Test Date”), the Borrowers shall determine on or before 7:00 p.m. (New York City time) (x) the amount by which the estimated Unrestricted ResCap Liquidity exceeds the Unrestricted ResCap Liquidity Threshold and (y) the amount by which the estimated Consolidated Liquidity exceeds the Consolidated Liquidity Threshold (the greater of (x) and (y), the “Liquidity Excess Amount”). If the Liquidity Excess Amount is greater than or equal to $25,000,000, no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the Test Date, the Borrowers shall jointly and severally repay outstanding Loans in an amount equal to the highest portion of the Liquidity Excess Amount that could be paid by the Borrowers and still satisfy the requirement that, after giving effect to such payment, (a) the Unrestricted ResCap Liquidity is greater than or equal to the Unrestricted ResCap Liquidity Threshold and (b) the Consolidated Liquidity is greater than or equal to the


		7		Loan Agreement

Consolidated Liquidity Threshold. The Borrowers shall deliver a Repayment Notice with respect to each repayment of outstanding Loan amounts made pursuant to this paragraph by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day such repayment is due.

(d) To the extent specified in, and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in, any Collateral Addition Designation Notice following the Whole Loan Addition Date or as otherwise agreed amongst the parties hereto in writing from time to time, the Borrowers may satisfy their obligation to make a mandatory repayment under this Section 2.08 by adding additional Eligible Assets consisting of whole Mortgage Loans to the Collateral.

(e) The Borrowers shall not be required to pay any Breakage Costs incurred by the Lenders in connection with a mandatory repayment pursuant to this Section 2.08.

Section 2.09. Optional Prepayment. The Borrowers may, at their option, prepay any Loan advanced hereunder in full or in part (as well as all interest accrued and unpaid thereon through the end of the related Interest Period) on the last Business Day of any Interest Period related thereto (each an “Optional Prepayment Date”); provided that the Borrowers deliver a Prepayment Notice to each Lender and the Lender Agent, no later than 7:00 p.m. New York City time on a Business Day that is at least two (2) Business Days preceding the Optional Prepayment Date. Any such partial prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of not less than $10,000,000 and in increments of $1,000,000 (or, if less, the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount). Any such prepayment shall be paid over to the Lender Agent for the account of the Lenders by the Borrowers by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Optional Prepayment Date, and shall be in an amount equal to the sum of (a) the Loan amount being prepaid on the date of such prepayment, plus (b) all accrued and unpaid interest on such Loan being prepaid as of the date of such prepayment, plus (c) the allocable portion (determined by the Lender Agent in its sole reasonable discretion) of all other amounts due from the Borrowers hereunder. The Borrowers may make a partial or full prepayment on any date other than an Optional Prepayment Date; provided that the Borrowers make a timely delivery of a Prepayment Notice, and in addition to the amount required under items (a), (b), and (c) above, the Borrowers must pay, without duplication, (x) all Breakage Costs, if any, actually incurred by the Lenders and resulting from such prepayment and (y) all accrued and unpaid interest on such Loan being prepaid following the prepayment. Subject to Section 5.02, in the absence of a timely delivered Prepayment Notice, the Lenders shall automatically and without further action by the Borrowers continue each Loan at the termination of each Interest Period for a successive Interest Period beginning on the day immediately following the final day of the immediately preceding Interest Period.

Section 2.10. Termination of Commitments and Reduction of Aggregate Commitment Amount. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date. If at any time the Borrowing Base is reduced to zero, then the Commitments shall terminate on the effective date of such reduction.

(b) The Borrowers may elect by notice as specified in this clause (b) to reduce the Aggregate Commitment Amount to such lower amount as the Borrowers shall specify in such notice; provided that (i) immediately after giving effect to such reduction, the Aggregate Commitment Amount as so reduced shall not be lower than the Outstanding Aggregate Loan

deducted or withheld from any payment required to be made to any Lender as a result of Requirements of Law, the Credit Party shall (a) promptly notify the applicable Lender, in writing, of such requirement, (b) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid to the applicable Lender pursuant to this paragraph), and (c) jointly and severally pay to the applicable Lender such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amount received by such Lender after such withholding or deduction shall equal the full amounts of moneys which would have been received by such Lender in the absence of such withholding or deduction.

In

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.02, the Borrowers agree to pay any additional amounts and to indemnify each Non-U.S. Lender in the manner set forth in Sections 3.02(a) and (c) in respect of any United States Taxes deducted or withheld by the Borrowers or paid by a Lender, if and to the extent that such Taxes would not have been deducted or withheld or payable (and in the case of a payment by a Lender, no exception is available to the making of such payment, as determined in the sole discretion of such Lender) but for any change after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof. Prior to withholding any amount due a non-U.S. Lender because of such Lender’s failure to provide tax forms or certifications under this Section 3.02, the Borrowers shall notify such non-U.S. Lender of its intention to withhold not less than five (5) Business Days prior to such withholding.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, this Section 3.02 shall govern exclusively any increased costs relating to Taxes resulting from any change in law.

The Borrowers agree to jointly and severally pay to the Lender Agent and the Lenders any expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of each Lender’s counsel) incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the Facility Documents (and any amendments, supplements, modifications, consents or waivers thereto).

Section 3.04. Set-off. The Obligors agree that each Lender has all rights of set-off provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, the Obligors agree that at any time any Default exists, each Lender may appropriate and apply to the payment of any obligations of the Obligors hereunder owed to it, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Obligors then or thereafter maintained with or held by such Lender; provided that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to Section 3.01(g). Each Lender shall promptly notify the applicable Obligors after making such exercise of the right of set-off; provided that failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the set-off.

(g) This Agreement, any Note, any Facility Document or any Security Document shall (except in accordance with its terms), in whole or in part, terminate, cease to be effective or cease to be the legally valid, binding and enforceable obligation of any Obligor party thereto, or the Lien granted under the Security Documents ceases to be in full force and effect or, in each case, any Obligor or any other Person shall contest in any manner such effectiveness, validity, binding nature or enforceability;

(h) The Lender Agent (for the benefit of the Lender Parties) does not, or ceases to, have a perfected security interest in the Collateral or any material part thereof (other than with respect to Permitted Liens) other than as a result of a release of such security interest by the Lender Agent in accordance with the Facility Documents, and such default continues unremedied for a period of one (1) Business Day after the earlier of (i) either Borrower having actual knowledge thereof and (ii) written notice of such default from the Lender Agent, the Lender Agent or any Lender to the Borrowers;

(i) A Change of Control shall occur with respect to any Obligor, without the prior written consent of each Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;

Section 8.02. Remedies.

(a) Optional Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 8.01(d)), the Lender Agent may (and shall if directed by the Required Lenders), by written notice to the Borrowers, terminate the Facility, terminate the Commitments, and declare all Loans and all other Obligations to be immediately due and payable.

(b) Automatic Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.01(d), the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the Loans and all other Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, without demand or notice of any kind.

(c) Remedies. Upon any acceleration of the Loans pursuant to this Section 8.02, the Lender Parties, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, shall have all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction and other applicable laws, which rights shall be cumulative. Each of the Obligors agrees, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and notice from the Lender Agent, to assemble, at their expense, all of the Collateral that is in their possession (whether by return, repossession, or otherwise) at a place designated by the Lender Agent. All costs incurred by the Lender Parties in the collection of all Obligations, and the enforcement of their rights hereunder, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, shall constitute Obligations and be paid out of the Collateral.


		33		Loan Agreement

Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to this Section 8.02, the Lender Agent and any Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without notice, advertisement, hearing or process of law of any kind, (i) enter upon any premises where any of the Collateral which is in the possession of any Obligor (whether by return, repossession, or otherwise) may be located and take possession of and remove such Collateral, (ii) sell any or all of such Collateral, free of all rights and claims of the Obligors therein and thereto, at any public or private sale, and (iii) bid for and purchase any or all of such Collateral at any such sale. Any such sale shall be conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and in accordance with applicable law. Each of the Obligors hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all notices, advertisements, hearings or process of law in connection with the exercise by the Lender Parties of any of their rights and remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Each of the Lender Parties and the Obligors shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bid for and purchase any or all Collateral at any public or private sale. Each of the Obligors hereby agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral, the Lender Parties are hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as they may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including, without limitation, compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority, and each of the Obligors further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Lender Parties shall not be liable for any sale, private or public, conducted in accordance with this Section 8.02(c). If an Event of Default occurs, and upon acceleration of the Loans hereunder, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, and collections on the Collateral and proceeds of sales and securitizations of Collateral will be used to pay the Obligations. At any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender Agent may (and shall at the direction of any Lender) appoint, at its own expense, one or more third parties to service all or a portion of the Collateral by giving written notice thereof to the Obligors; provided that any such appointment shall not conflict with any existing contractual servicing arrangements with respect to the Collateral. Each Obligor agrees that it will cooperate with and assist any such third-party servicer (including providing access to, and transferring, all records and allowing the new servicer to use (to the extent legally permissible) all licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to service the Collateral).

ARTICLE IX

ASSIGNMENT, PARTICIPATION

Section 9.01. Assignments. (a) No Obligor may assign its rights, interests, liabilities or obligations hereunder or under the other Facility Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender.


		34		Loan Agreement

(b) Any Lender may, with the prior written consents of the Lender Agent and (so long as no Default exists and provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) the Borrowers, at any time assign and delegate to one or more commercial banks or financial institution or other Eligible Assignees (an “Assignee”) all or any fraction of such Lender’s rights under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its outstanding Loans and Commitment); provided that:

(i) the amount of the Commitments (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Lender Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000, unless (A) the Lender Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); (B) such assignment is an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and Loans at the time owing to it; (C) such assignment is an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender; or (D) such assignment is to one or more Eligible Assignees managed by an Affiliate of such Eligible Assignee(s) and the aggregate amount of such assignments is not less than $10,000,000;

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans, and/or the Commitments assigned; and

(iii) the assigning Lender and the Assignee shall have executed and delivered to the Borrowers and the Lender Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any documents required to be delivered thereunder, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to the Lender Agent (which fee may be waived or reduced by the Lender Agent in its sole discretion) and, if such Assignee is not then a Lender, administrative details information with respect to such Assignee.

(c) Upon acceptance thereof by the Lender Agent, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, subject to Section 13.11, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto, but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of any provisions of this Agreement that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement). If the consent of the Borrowers to an assignment is required hereunder, each Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent ten (10) days after the date notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender unless such consent is expressly refused by a Borrower prior to such tenth day.

(d) The Lender Agent shall record each assignment made in accordance with this Section in the Register pursuant to Section 2.02(b) and periodically give the Borrowers notice of


		35		Loan Agreement

such assignments. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, as to its Commitment and outstanding Loans only, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f) Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this Section 9.01 shall be null and void.

Section 9.02. Evidence of Assignment. Within five (5) Business Days after effectiveness of any assignment, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Lender Agent (a) for delivery to the Assignee, a new Note or, if the Assignee was already a holder of a Note immediately prior to such effectiveness, a replacement Note in the appropriate principal amount based on such Assignee’s Commitments after giving effect to such assignment; and (b) if the assigning Lender still holds any Commitment, for delivery to the assigning Lender, a replacement Note in the appropriate principal amount based on such Assignee’s Commitments after giving effect to such assignment. Each such Note shall be dated the effective date of such assignment.

Section 9.03. Rights of Assignee, Evidence of Assignment. From and after the date on which the conditions described in Section 9.01(b) have been met, the assigning Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of the rights and obligations hereunder that have been assigned pursuant to the Assignment and Acceptance. Accrued interest on that part of the predecessor Note being assigned shall be paid as provided in the Assignment and Acceptance. Accrued interest and fees on that part of the predecessor Note not being assigned shall be paid to the assigning Lender. Accrued interest and accrued fees shall be paid at the same time or times provided in the predecessor Note and in this Agreement.

Section 9.04. Participations. (a) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by any Lender, the obligations to make revolving Loans of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder (any Person purchasing any such participating interest being herein called a “Participant”) provided that so long as no Default exists any such participation shall be subject to the consent of each Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). In the event of a sale by any Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (a) such Lender shall remain the holder of its Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (b) the Obligors shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and (c) all amounts payable by the Obligors shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct voting rights hereunder. The Obligors agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Notes are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Note to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it


		36		Loan Agreement

as a Lender under this Agreement or such Note; provided that if any Lender or any Participant shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of set-off or offset or otherwise) on account of principal of or interest on any Loan in excess of its pro rata share of payments (after giving effect to all participations hereunder) and other recoveries obtained by such Lender and the Participants on account of principal of and interest on the Loans then held by them, such Lender or the applicable Participant (as the case may be) shall purchase from the other party or parties such participations in the Loans held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Person to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Person, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery. Each Obligor also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.07(b), 2.07(c) and 3.02 as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment (provided that such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section as though it were a Lender that acquired its interest by assignment).

(b) In the event that a Lender sells participations in any Loan, Note or the obligation to make Loans or any interest of such Lender, such Lender shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Loan or Note held by it and the principal amount (and interest thereon) of the portion of the Loan or Note which is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). A Loan or Note may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Loan or Note may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.01. Indemnities by the Borrowers. Without limiting any other rights which any such Person may have hereunder or under applicable law, and in consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Facility evidenced by the Facility Documents, the Borrowers hereby agree to jointly and severally indemnify the Lenders, the Lender Agent and their respective Affiliates, successors, permitted transferees and assigns and all officers, directors, shareholders, controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each an “Indemnified Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, obligations penalties, causes of action, demands, judgments, suits and related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of (a) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any Loan; (b) the entering into and performance of any Facility Document by any of the Indemnified Parties; (c) the Facility Documents, the Loans and the extension of the Commitments, the failure of any Obligor to comply with the terms of the Facility Documents or Requirements of Law, the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of any Obligor set forth in the Facility Documents or in a certificate, instrument or


		37		Loan Agreement

document delivered in connection therewith, and the use by any Obligor of the proceeds of any Loans; (d) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to any acquisition or proposed acquisition by any Obligor or any Subsidiary thereof of all or any portion of the capital stock or assets of any Person, whether or not an Indemnified Party is party thereto; and (e) any transaction contemplated under the Facility Documents; excluding, however, (i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment determines that they resulted from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party; (ii) any lost profits (other than in connection with Breakage Costs) or indirect, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages of any Indemnified Party; and (iii) any and all present or future taxes, fees, levies, imposts, deductions, duties, withholdings, assessments or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto, which shall be governed by the terms of Section 3.02. Without limiting the foregoing, in any suit, proceeding or action brought by any Indemnified Party in connection with any Collateral for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Collateral, the Borrowers will save, indemnify and hold the applicable Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by either Borrower of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from the Borrowers. The Borrowers also agree to reimburse the Indemnified Parties as and when billed by such party for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of such party’s rights under this Agreement, the Notes, any other Facility Document, any Security Document, any Underlying Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the fees and disbursements of its counsel. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that, notwithstanding the fact that the Notes are secured by the Collateral, the obligation of the Borrowers under the Notes are recourse obligations of the Borrowers. Under no circumstances shall any Indemnified Party be liable to the Borrowers for any lost profits (other than in connection with Breakage Costs) or indirect, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

Section 10.02. General Provisions. If for any reason the indemnification provided above in Section 10.01 (and subject to the limitations on indemnification contained therein) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless on the basis of public policy, then the Borrowers shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrowers on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The provisions of this Article X shall survive the termination or assignment of this Agreement, the payment of the Obligations and the resignation or removal of any of the Indemnified Parties.


		38		Loan Agreement

ARTICLE XI

GUARANTEE

Section 11.01. Unconditional Guarantee. To induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, each of the Guarantors jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Lender Parties and their successors and permitted assigns (a) the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, or otherwise by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) of the Obligations now or hereafter owing; and (b) all renewals, rearrangements, increases, extensions for any period, substitutions, modification, amendments or supplements in whole or in part of any of the Facility Documents or obligations (in each case including all such amounts which would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §362(a), and the operation of Sections 502(b) and 506(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §502(b) and §506(b)).

Section 11.02. Nature of Guarantee. Each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder (a) are continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable; (b) shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations are paid in full in cash and the Commitments have terminated or expired (unless this Guarantee is reinstated pursuant to the terms of this Article XI); and (c) shall not be affected by (i) the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Facility Documents, (ii) the absence of any action to enforce any Obligor’s obligations under any of the Facility Documents or to otherwise assert any claim or enforce any right of any Lender Party under the Facility Documents or in or to the Collateral, (iii) any waiver or consent by any Obligor with respect to any provisions of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, (iv) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other extension, increase, compromise or renewal of any Obligation, (v) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Obligations for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations, (vi) any amendment to, extension, variance, alteration, rescission, waiver, increase, or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Facility Document including, without limitation, any increase or reduction to the rate of interest on all or any of the Obligations, (vii) any addition, exchange, release, surrender or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty or any other security document, held by a Lender Party, (viii) the insolvency of any other Obligor, or (ix) any other circumstance relating to the Obligations that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to this Guarantee. Each of the Guaranties under this Article XI is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection, and each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees that any Lender Party may resort to such Guarantor for payment of any of the Obligations owed to it whether or not such Lender Party shall have resorted to any collateral therefor or shall have proceeded against any Person principally or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, including any Obligor, and whether or not such Lender Party has pursued any other remedy available to it. No Lender Party shall be obligated to file any claim relating to the Obligations in the event that any Obligor becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the applicable Lender Party to so file shall not affect any obligation of a Guarantor hereunder. In the event that any payment to the Lender Parties in respect of any Obligations owed to them is rescinded or must otherwise


		39		Loan Agreement

be returned for any reason whatsoever, the Guarantors shall remain jointly and severally liable hereunder with respect to such Obligations as if such payment had not been made and the Guarantee shall be reinstated, if applicable. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of any Lender Party, and at the sole expense of the Guarantors, the Guarantors will furnish such information regarding the financial well-being of the Guarantors as may be reasonably requested by such Lender Party.

Section 11.03. Certain Agreements; Waivers of Certain Notices. Each Guarantor authorizes each Lender Party, without notice or demand and without affecting its liability hereunder, from time to time, to forbear, indulge or take other action or inaction in respect of this Guarantee or the Obligations, or to exercise or not exercise any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor waives (a) promptness, diligence, presentment, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations and this Article XI and any requirement that any Lender Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien, or any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person (including any other guarantor) or any collateral securing the Obligations; (b) all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or in law or equity, or otherwise, to the extent allowed under Requirements of Law, to compel any Lender Party to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of Obligations guaranteed hereunder or under any Facility Document against any Borrower or any other Guarantor, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Guarantor; and (c) each and every right to which it may be entitled by virtue of the suretyship under Requirements of Law. It is agreed among each Guarantor and the Lender Parties that the foregoing waivers and the other waivers contained in this Agreement are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (including Article XI) and the Facility Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 11.03 and such waivers, the Lender Parties would decline to enter into this Agreement.

Section 11.04. Waiver of Subrogation. Until two years and one day after the Obligations are repaid in full in cash and the Commitments have expired or terminated, each Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set-off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor. If any amounts are paid to the Guarantors in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender Agent for the account of the Lender Parties to reduce the amount of outstanding Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. Subject to the foregoing, upon payment of any of the Obligations, the Guarantors shall be subrogated to the rights of the Lender Parties against other Obligors with respect to such Obligations.

Section 11.05. Taxes. All payments by the Guarantors hereunder will be subject to Section 3.02.

Section 11.06. Payments. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally guarantees that the Obligations will be paid to each Lender Party without set-off or counterclaim, in lawful currency of the United States of America at the offices of each Lender Party specified by each


		40		Loan Agreement

Lender Party for such payment. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency except to the extent to which such tender or recovery shall result in the effective receipt by each applicable Lender Party of the full amount of the currency or currencies owing under this Guarantee, and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each applicable Lender Party (as an alternative or additional cause of action) for the amount (if any) by which such effective receipt shall fall short of the full amount of currency or currencies owing under this Guarantee and such obligation to indemnify shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due hereunder.

Section 11.07. Severability of Article XI. Wherever possible, each provision of this Article XI will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Article XI is prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision will be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Article XI. Consistent with the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XI to the contrary, in the event that any action or proceeding is brought in whatever form and in whatever forum seeking to invalidate any Guarantor’s obligations under this Article XI under any fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer theory, or similar avoidance theory, whether under state or federal law, such Guarantor (the “Affected Guarantor”), automatically and without any further action being required of such Affected Guarantor or any Lender Party, shall be liable under this Article XI only for an amount equal to the maximum amount of liability that could have been incurred under applicable law by such Affected Guarantor under any guaranty of the Obligations (or any portion thereof) at the time of the execution and delivery of this Article XI (or, if such date is determined not to be the appropriate date for determining the enforceability of such Affected Guarantor’s obligations hereunder for fraudulent conveyance or transfer (or similar avoidance) purposes, on the date determined to be so appropriate) without rendering such a hypothetical guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, or any other grounds for avoidance (such highest amount determined hereunder being any such Affected Guarantor’s “Maximum Guaranty Amount”), and not for any greater amount, as if the stated amount of this Article XI as to such Affected Guarantor had instead been the Maximum Guaranty Amount. This Section 11.07 is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lender Parties under this Article XI to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and neither any Affected Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section 11.07 with respect to the limitation described in this Article XI, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Affected Guarantor under this Article XI shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the determination of a Maximum Guaranty Amount for any Affected Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the second preceding sentence of this Section 11.07 shall not in any manner reduce or otherwise affect the obligations of any other Guarantor (including any other Affected Guarantor) under the provisions of this Article XI.

Section 11.08. Acceleration of Guarantee. Each Guarantor agrees that, in the event of the dissolution or insolvency of any Obligor, or the inability or failure of any Obligor to pay debts as they become due, or an assignment by any Obligor for the benefit of creditors, or the commencement of any case or proceeding in respect of any Obligor under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws, and if such event shall occur at a time when any of the Obligations of


		41		Loan Agreement

any Obligor may not then be due and payable, such Guarantor will pay to the Lender Agent for the account of the Lender Parties forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by such Guarantor if all such Obligations were then due and payable.

Section 11.09. Election of Remedies. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if any Lender Party proceeds to realize its benefits under any Facility Documents giving any Lender or the Lender Agent a Lien upon any Collateral, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, such Lender Party may, at its option acting in its sole discretion, determine which remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Article XI. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, any Lender Party shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Obligor or any other Person, whether because of any Requirements of Law pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Guarantor hereby consents to such action and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by the applicable Lender or Lender Agent shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that such Guarantor might otherwise have had but for such action by such Lender Party. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of any Lender Party to seek a deficiency judgment against any other Obligor shall not impair any Guarantor’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations under this Article XI.

Section 11.10. Benefit to Guarantor. Each Guarantor represents and agrees that (a) its business is integrally related to the business of the Borrowers and that it is in the best interests of the Guarantor to execute this Agreement inasmuch as such Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the Loans made from time to time to the Borrowers; (b) such Guarantor is willing to guarantee the Obligations; and (c) the Lender Parties are relying on this representation in agreeing to make Loans to the Borrower.

ARTICLE XII

LENDER AGENT

Section 12.01. Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 12.09) appoints and designates GMAC LLC as the Lender Agent under and for purposes of the Facility Documents and hereby authorizes the Lender Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Facility Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to or required of it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Facility Document, the Lender Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Lender Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Facility Document or otherwise exist against the Lender Agent.

Section 12.02. Delegation of Duties. The Lender Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Facility Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Lender Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects with reasonable care.


		42		Loan Agreement

Section 12.03. Liability of Lender Agent. None of the Lender Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Facility Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Obligors or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Obligors, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Facility Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Lender Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Facility Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, or for any failure of the Obligors or any other party to any Facility Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Lender 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 other Facility Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Obligors or any of the Obligors’ Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

Section 12.04. Reliance by Lender Agent. The Lender Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, email, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation reasonably 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 counsel to the Obligors), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Lender Agent. The Lender Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Facility Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of each Lender as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify the Lender Agent against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Lender Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Facility Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders or, to the extent expressly required by Section 13.01 or any other provision of the Facility Documents, all Lenders.

Section 12.05. Notice of Default. The Lender Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency unless the Lender Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” or describing such Borrowing Base Deficiency. The Lender Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Lender Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 8.02; provided that, unless and until the Lender Agent has received any such request, the Lender Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not taken, only with the consent of the Required Lenders or all Lenders).


		43		Loan Agreement

Section 12.06. Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that the Lender Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Lender Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Lender Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Lender Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Lender Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Obligors, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Lender Agent 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 Agreement and the other Facility Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Obligors. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Lender Agent, the Lender Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrowers that may come into the possession of the Lender Agent.

Section 12.07. Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Lender Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Obligors and without limiting the obligation of the Obligors to do so), pro rata based on their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts; provided that, no Lender shall be liable for any payment to any such Person of any portion of the Indemnified Amounts resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Lender Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney costs) incurred by the Lender Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Facility Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Lender Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Obligors. The undertaking in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans, termination of the Commitments, cancellation of the Notes, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of the Lender Agent.

Section 12.08. Lender Agent in Individual Capacity. The Lender Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of business with the Obligors and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though the Lender Agent were not the Lender Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that, pursuant to such activities, the Lender Agent or its Affiliates may


		44		Loan Agreement

receive information regarding the Obligors or their respective Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Obligors or their Affiliates) and acknowledges that the Lender Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to their Loans (if any), the Lender Agent and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though the Lender Agent were not the Lender Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include the Lender Agent and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.

Section 12.09. Successor Lender Agent. The Lender Agent may resign as Lender Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders. If the Lender Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Lender Agent, the Lender Agent may appoint, after consulting with (but without the consent of) the Lenders, a successor agent which shall be a Lender or a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Lender Agent and the term “Lender Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Lender Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Lender Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Lender Agent’s resignation hereunder as Lender Agent, the provisions of this Article XII and Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Lender Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Lender Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Lender Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Lender Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Lender Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

Section 12.10. Funding Reliance. Unless the Lender Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender by 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to a Funding Date that such Lender will not make available the amount that would constitute its Pro Rata Share of the requested Loans on the date specified therefor, the Lender Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Lender Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, may make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount; provided that the Lender Agent shall be under no obligation whatsoever to advance funds to the Borrowers on behalf of any Lender or to the Lenders on behalf of the Borrowers. However, if in its sole and absolute discretion the Lender Agent does so advance funds, the applicable Lender and the Borrowers jointly and severally (in the case of an advance to the Borrowers on behalf of a Lender) or any Lender receiving payments and the Borrowers (in the case of an advance to a Lender on behalf of the Borrowers) agree to repay such amount to the Lender Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising such borrowing for each day from the date the Lender Agent made such funds available to the Borrowers to the date such amount is repaid to the Lender Agent. Nothing set forth in this section shall relieve any Lender of any obligation it may have to make any Loan, or any Obligor to make any payment, hereunder.


		45		Loan Agreement

Section 12.11. Security Matters; Release of Collateral. (a) Each Lender and other Lender Party (by their acceptance of the benefits of any Collateral) acknowledges and agrees that the Lender Agent has entered into the Security Documents on behalf of the Lender Parties, and the Lender Parties hereby agree to be bound by the terms of such Security Documents, acknowledge receipt of copies of such Security Documents and consent to the rights, powers, remedies, indemnities and exculpations given to the Lender Agent. All rights, powers and remedies available to the Lender Agent and the Lender Parties with respect to the Collateral, or otherwise pursuant to the Security Documents, shall be subject to the provisions of such Security Documents. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the terms and provisions of such Security Documents, the terms and provisions of such Security Documents shall govern and control except that this Agreement shall govern and control the rights, powers, duties, immunities and indemnities of the Lender Agent. Each Lender and other Lender Party (by their acceptance of the benefits of any Collateral) hereby authorizes the Lender Agent to release (or authorize the release of) any collateral that is permitted to be sold or released pursuant to the terms of the Facility Documents. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Lender Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrowers, at the Borrowers’ joint and several cost and expense, any and all releases of Liens, termination statements, assignments or other documents reasonably requested by the Borrowers in connection with any sale or other disposition of property to the extent such sale or other disposition is permitted by the terms of this Agreement or is otherwise authorized by the terms of the Facility Documents.

(b) No Collateral shall be released from the security interest created by the Security Agreement without the prior written consent of the Lender Agent; provided that, if Mortgage Loans are sold or financed in the ordinary course of an Obligor’s business, the Lien on such Asset shall be released automatically concurrently with sale or financing in accordance with the Security Agreement and any related Collateral Addition Designation Notice.

Section 13.03. No Waiver; Remedies.

No notice to or demand on any Obligor in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by any Lender Party under any Facility Document shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.

		48		Loan Agreement

Section 13.09. Execution in Counterpart; Effectiveness.

This Agreement shall become effective when counterparts hereof executed on behalf of the parties hereto shall have been received by the Lender Agent. The parties hereto agree that delivery of a counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Facility Document (except for any Note) by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other Facility Document.

In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a request for a borrowing, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and the Lenders shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of making any Loan, any Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that the Lenders may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time such Loan was made.


		49		Loan Agreement

Section 13.12. Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers. (a) Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best interest and in pursuance of its legitimate business purposes to induce the Lenders to make Loans to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement. Each Borrower acknowledges and represents that its business is integrally related to the business of the other Borrower, that the availability of the Commitments benefits each Borrower individually and that the Loans made will be for and inure to the benefit of each of the Borrowers individually and as a group. Accordingly, each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable (as a principal and not as a surety, guarantor or other accommodation party) for each and every representation, warranty, covenant and obligation (including payment, indemnification and reimbursement obligations) to be performed by the Borrowers under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Facility Documents, and each Borrower acknowledges that in extending the credit provided herein the Lenders are relying upon the fact that the obligations of each Borrower hereunder are the joint and several obligations of a principal. The invalidity, unenforceability or illegality of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Facility Document as to one Borrower or the release by the Lender Parties of a Borrower hereunder or thereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the other Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Facility Documents, all of which shall otherwise remain valid and legally binding obligations of the other Borrower. Any Borrower that makes a payment or distribution hereunder will be entitled to a contribution from the other Borrower in a pro rata amount, based on the adjusted net assets of each Borrower determined in accordance with GAAP (provided that such Borrower shall not exercise any right or remedy against such other Borrower or any property of such other Borrower by reason of any performance of such Borrower of its joint and several obligations hereunder until one year and one day after the Obligations have been repaid in full in cash and the Commitments have terminated or expired). The provisions of this Section 13.12 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Borrower to the Lender Parties, and each Borrower shall remain liable to the Lender Parties for the full amount of the Obligations.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Borrower’s obligations under this Section 13.12 (which obligations are in any event in addition to all liabilities in respect of Loans advanced to such Borrower) shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the greater of: (i) the net amount of all Loans advanced to or for the account of the other Borrower under this Agreement and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to such Borrower; and (ii) the amount that could be claimed by any Lender Party from such Borrower under this Section 13.12 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Borrower’s right of contribution and indemnification from the other Borrower.

(c) Each Borrower assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of each other Borrower, and each Borrower agrees that the Lender Parties shall not have any duty to advise such Borrower of information known to the Lender Parties regarding such condition or any such circumstances or to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine. If the Lender Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a Borrower, such Lender Party shall be under no obligation to update any such information or to provide any such information to such Borrower on any subsequent occasion.


		50		Loan Agreement

(d) If (i) one or both Borrowers are entitled to a return of excess interest or other amounts or payments delivered under the Facility Documents, or the return of surplus funds or monies from bank accounts maintained in accordance with the requirements of the Facility Documents or the return of any other Collateral or any other proceeds of Collateral (a “Returned Amount”), and (ii) the Lender Parties are uncertain as to which Borrower is entitled to the Returned Amount, in the absence of a promptly delivered joint notice from the Borrowers regarding the return of such Returned Amount, the Lender Parties may either return the Returned Amount to the Borrower they in good faith believe to be entitled to the same (and the Lender Parties shall not be liable for so doing; provided that the Lender Parties acted in good faith) or, at the joint and several expense of the Borrowers, interplead such Returned Amount or take such other actions or exercise such rights or remedies as permitted by Requirements of Law.

(e) Each Borrower agrees that any notices and information to be provided to any Borrower or both Borrowers by any Lender Party under the Facility Documents may be sent to both Borrowers or either Borrower, regardless of whether or not a receiving Borrower is actually the relevant Borrower or the appropriate person or persons to whom such notice or information should be addressed or delivered (and each Borrower hereby agrees that no Lender Party will be liable to the Borrowers for the failure to deliver such notice or information to the appropriate recipient). Each Borrower hereby waives all confidentiality rights with respect to the delivery of all such notices and information and agrees that no Lender Party shall be liable for delivering a notice or information to a Borrower that is not the relevant Borrower or the appropriate recipient of such notice or information. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has received full and sufficient consideration for this provision and that this provision is a material inducement for the Lender Agent and each Lender entering into the loan documents.

The GSAP SPVs desire that GMAC, in its individual capacity, will hold the Certificates for the benefit of the GSAP SPVs, and this letter agreement confirms the agreement of the GSAP SPVs and GMAC with respect thereto.

By their signatures hereto, for due consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the parties signing this Letter Agreement hereby covenants, acknowledges and agrees to the following:

(a) Concurrently or after the execution and delivery of this Letter Agreement, the Certificates will be delivered to GMAC. GMAC hereby accepts delivery of the Certificates and agrees to hold the Certificates on behalf of and for the benefit of the GSAP SPVs.

(b) The ownership of each Certificate, including any other security instrument related to a GSAP Share, is and shall remain vested in the GSAP SPVs.

(c) GMAC will exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Certificates. GMAC will have no other duty as to any Certificates in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any sub agent or bailee or any income therefrom or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. GMAC will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Certificates in its possession or control if such Certificates are accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Certificate, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any sub agent or bailee selected by GMAC in good faith except to the extent that such liability arises from GMAC’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that GMAC may only deliver the Certificates to a sub-agent or bailee with the prior written consent of the GSAP SPVs.

(d) Until the Loan Agreement is terminated, paid off or matures, the Certificates constitute Supporting Assets for Collateral under the Loan Agreement. Accordingly, GMAC will not honor any instructions, directions or requests from any other party in relation to any Certificate without the prior consent of the Lender Agent under the Loan Agreement. GMAC shall release from its custody any Certificate only upon the instruction of the Lender Agent under the Loan Agreement.

(e) Until the Loan Agreement is terminated, paid off or matures, if GMAC receives conflicting instructions from the GSAP SPVs and the Lender Agent under the Loan Agreement, the instructions of the Lender Agent shall control, and GMAC shall have the right to rely on such instructions of the Lender Agent.

This Letter Agreement will terminate upon (a) the mutual agreement of GMAC, the GSAP SPVs and the Lender Agent or (b) the payment in full of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Facility Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement). In such event, all Certificates will be released in accordance with the written instructions of the Lender Agent.

[signature pages follow]

This letter agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original (whether such counterpart is originally executed or an electronic copy of an original) and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. THIS LETTER AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES (BUT WITH REFERENCE TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, WHICH BY ITS TERMS APPLIES TO THIS AGREEMENT).

FORM OF NOTE

November 20, 2008

$430,000,000

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, RFC Asset Holdings II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RAHI”), and Passive Asset Transactions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PATI” and together with RAHI, each a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of GMAC LLC (the “Lender”) on or before the Loan Repayment Date the principal amount of FOUR HUNDRED THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS ($430,000,000), or such lesser amount as shall reflect the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount of the Loans (each as defined in the Loan Agreement referred to below) made by the Lender to the Borrower.

The Borrowers further promise to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note from time to time outstanding, payable as provided in the Loan Agreement (referred to below), at the rates per annum provided in the Loan Agreement; provided, however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. All payments of principal of and interest on this Note shall be payable in lawful currency of the United States of America at the office of the Lender as provided above or such other address as the holder hereof shall have designated to the Borrowers, in immediately available funds.

The date, amount and interest rate of each Loan made by the Lender to the Borrowers, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of this Note, endorsed by the Lender on the schedule attached hereto or any continuation thereof; provided that the failure of the Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrowers to make a payment when due of any amount owing under the Loan Agreement or hereunder in respect of the Loans made by the Lender.

This Note is one of the Notes referred to in Loan Agreement dated November 20, 2008 between the Borrowers, GMAC LLC, as Lender Agent, the Lender and certain other lenders and guarantors party thereto (the “Loan Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement. Upon occurrence of any Event of Default, the principal hereof, and all accrued interest thereon, may be declared or shall automatically become, due and payable pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

The Borrowers agree to pay all the Lender’s costs of collection and enforcement (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of lender’s counsel) in respect of this Note when incurred, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees through appellate proceedings.

Notwithstanding the pledge of the Collateral, the Borrowers hereby acknowledge, admit and agree that the Borrowers’ obligations under this Note are recourse obligations of the Borrowers to which the Borrowers pledge their full faith and credit.

The Borrowers, and any indorsers or guarantors hereof, (a) severally waive diligence, presentment, protest and demand and also notice of protest, demand, dishonor and nonpayment of this Note, (b) expressly agree that this Note, or any payment hereunder, may be extended from time to time, and consent to the acceptance of further Collateral, the release of any Collateral for this Note, the release of any party primarily or secondarily liable hereon, and (c) expressly agree that it will not be necessary for the Lender, in order to enforce payment of this Note, to first institute or exhaust the Lender’s remedies against the Borrowers or any other party liable hereon or against any Collateral for this Note. No extension of time for the payment of this Note, or any installment hereof, made by agreement by the Lender with any person now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note, shall affect the liability under this Note of the Borrowers, even if the Borrowers are not a party to such agreement; provided, however, that the Lender and the Borrowers, by written agreement between them, may affect the liability of the Borrowers.

This Note may be assigned in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Any participation in respect of this Note may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register.

Any reference herein to the Lender shall be deemed to include and apply to every subsequent holder of this Note. Reference is made to the Loan Agreement and Security Agreement for provisions concerning optional and mandatory prepayments, Collateral, acceleration and other material terms affecting this Note.
