If during a period of two years from the date hereof, CCA or any investment adviser that is an affiliate of CCA or Primo (collectively referred to as “CCA Financee”)
20
seeks any mortgage loan or mezzanine loan financing (a “Proposed Financing”) in connection with any Capri Fund or Separate Account managed or advised by any CCA Financee (a “Fund”) other than a Proposed Financing to be made by a Fund, then CCA shall:
i provide written notice (a “Request For Proposal”) to CharterMac Mortgage Capital Corp.

ii provide to CMCC a description of the material terms of such Proposed Financing; and

If CMCC makes a proposal with respect to the Proposed Financing on or prior to the Proposal Deadline (as defined below), CCA shall, or shall cause the applicable CCA Financee to, accept such proposal unless the CCA Financee determines, in its fiduciary capacity, that the terms of such proposal are less favorable (taking into account both the financial terms of the proposal and the non-financial terms of the proposal, such as the covenants) to the Fund than an alternative proposal submitted to the applicable CCA Financee by another party. The “Proposal Deadline” shall be five (5) Business Days (or such longer or shorter period as is stated in the Request for Proposal sent to all prospective financing sources or otherwise offered to any other prospective financing source for the delivery of its initial proposal in response to the Request for Proposal, in any such case due to the timing of the particular transaction) after the delivery of a Request for Proposal.
If (i) a CCA Financee accepts a proposal from CMCC pursuant to clause (b) above, (ii) such CCA Financee has negotiated with CMCC in good faith with respect to definitive documentation with respect to the accepted proposal, and (iii) such CCA Financee and CMCC are unable to agree on the terms of such definitive documentation, then the applicable CCA Financee may seek the Proposed Financing from a party other than CMCC.
If the CCA Financee determines that an alternative proposal is more favorable to a Fund than a proposal which was timely submitted by CMCC, then the CCA Financee shall provide to CMCC written notice setting for the reasons for such determination, but
21
shall have no obligation to consider, review or accept any counter-offer, rebuttal or change in terms by CMCC with respect to the Proposed Financing.
CMCC agrees that the determination of the CCA Financee as to whether, in accordance with clause (b) above, the CCMC proposal is less favorable than an alternative proposal, shall, in the absence of bad faith, be binding and conclusive.
J CUC Interest. CMI hereby agrees that it shall, or shall cause CUCA to, pay to the Xxxxxx Trust any amounts actually received by CMI or CUCA (or any designee or successor-in-interest thereto) with respect to the CUC Interest. CMI further agrees to pay, or to cause CUCA to pay, such amount within ten (10) days after its receipt thereof. CMI shall not, and shall cause CUCA not to, offset, deduct from or otherwise reduce any amounts owing to the Xxxxxx Trust under this Section 4.10, provided that CMI or CUCA may offset, deduct from or otherwise reduce any such amounts owing to the Xxxxxx Trust for or on account of (i) any tax withheld and to be paid to any taxing authority to the extent required by any applicable law, or (ii) any payment, indemnification, clawback or other form of contribution that is required to be made by CMI or CUCA to any person and that is attributable to the CUC Interest.

Each of the Capri Principals, severally (in proportion to their Pro Rata Shares), shall indemnify CMI against, and hold CMI harmless from, and shall reimburse CMI for, any loss, liability, claim, damage, expense (including, but not limited to, costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys’ fees) or diminution of value (collectively, “Damages”) arising from or in connection with (a) any inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties of any of the Capri Entities or Capri Principals in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or in any certificate delivered by any of the Capri Entities or Capri Principals pursuant hereto or thereto, or any actions, omissions or states of fact inconsistent with any such representation or warranty, provided, that no Capri Principal shall be liable pursuant to this Section 10.2 in respect of any such inaccuracy or inconsistency in the representations and warranties made, or any certificate delivered, solely by any other Capri Principal, and each Capri Principal shall be liable for the full Damages in respect of any such inaccuracy or inconsistency in the representations and warranties made by such Capri Principal, (b) any failure by any of the Capri Parties to perform or comply with any covenant or other agreement in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on its part to be performed, provided, that no Capri Principal shall be liable pursuant to this Section
27
10.2 in respect of any such failure to perform or comply with any such covenant or other agreement to be performed or complied with solely by any other Capri Principal, and each Capri Principal shall be liable for the full Damages in respect of any such failure to perform or comply with any such covenant or other agreement to be performed or complied with by such Capri Principal, (c) any third party claims (including actions by Regulatory Bodies) arising out of acts or omissions of CCA and/or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date relating to CUC, other than any claims for accounts payable arising in the ordinary course of business by CUC and any liabilities reflected on the books and records of CUC and disclosed with specificity in the CUC Assets Disclosure Letter, or (d) any distributions made prior to the Closing Date in connection with the CUC Business that are required to be repaid by CMI, or any obligation to pay any shortfall resulting from distributions in connection with the CUC Business made prior to the Closing.
C Indemnification by CMI. CMI shall indemnify the Capri Parties against, and hold the Capri Parties harmless from, and shall reimburse the Capri Parties for, any Damages arising from or in connection with (a) any inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties of CMI in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or in any certificate delivered by CMI pursuant hereto or thereto, or any actions, omissions or states of fact inconsistent with any such representation or warranty, (b) any failure by CMI to perform or comply with any covenant or other agreement in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on its part to be performed, or (c) any third party claims (including actions by Regulatory Bodies) relating to liabilities of CCA related to the CUC Business assumed by CUCA pursuant to the Assignment of CUC Assets.
D Threshold Amount – Capri Principals. The Capri Principals shall have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to the matters described in Section 10.2(a) above until the total amount of all Damages with respect thereto exceeds $250,000 and then only for the amount by which such Damages exceed $250,000. The Capri Principals’ aggregate liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to such matters will not exceed $3,000,000. Each Capri Principals’ aggregate liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to such matters will not exceed such Capri Principal’s Pro Rata Share of $3,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not apply to any liability which results from (a) any fraud on the part of the Capri Parties or their respective Affiliates (it being agreed that each Capri Principal shall be liable for all Damages with respect to any fraud committed by such Capri Principal), (b) any liabilities of CCA related to the CUC Business which accrued prior to the Closing and that are not assumed by CUCA pursuant to the Assignment of CUC Assets, or (c) any of the matters described in Section 10.2(b), (c) or (d).
E Threshold Amount – CMI. CMI shall have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to the matters described in Section 10.3(a) above until the total amount of all Damages with respect thereto exceeds $250,000 and then only for the amount by which such Damages exceed $250,000. CMI’s liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to such matters will not exceed $3,000,000. However, this Section shall not apply to any liability resulting from (a) any fraud on the part of CMI or its Affiliates (it being agreed that CMI shall be liable for all Damages with respect thereto), (b) any liabilities of CCA related to the CUC Business assumed by CUCA pursuant to the Assignment of CUC Assets, or (c) any of the matters described in Section 10.3(b) or (c).
28
F Procedure for Indemnification. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 10.2 or 10.3 of notice of the commencement of any action for which indemnification is available, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under any such Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party except to the extent the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced thereby. In case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified party and it shall give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such section for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation and costs and expenses of legal counsel, if the indemnified party and the indemnifying party are both parties to the action and the indemnified party has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more defenses available to it and not available to the indemnifying party. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of such an action, (a) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party and (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party and (b) the indemnified party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any action and it does not, within ten days after the indemnified party’s notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall be bound by any determination made in such action or any compromise or settlement thereof effected by the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that an action may adversely affect it or its affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages, such indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such action, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnifying party but the indemnifying party shall not be bound by any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

The Excluded Provisions
The Excluded Provisions consist of the following:
1. All of the representations and warranties contained in Article IV which, pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Investment Agreement, survive beyond August __, 2006.
2. Section 7.1(i)(iv)(F) of the Investment Agreement, except that such Section shall be amended to read, in its entirety, as provided below, it being agreed that the Capri Parties shall have no liability or obligation of any kind pursuant to Section 7.1(i)(iv)(F) as originally set forth in the Investment Agreement and that the Capri Entities shall have no liability or obligation of any kind pursuant to Section 7.1(i)(iv)(F) as set forth below:
(I) From and after the Closing Date, the Capri Principals severally (in proportion to their Pro Rata Shares) and not jointly and severally, shall pay to the Investor the amount of any unpaid claims for DUS Losses pursuant to Claim Notices (as defined below) delivered by the Investor prior to the second anniversary of the CCLP Acquisition Date as to which either no objection pursuant to an Objection Notice (as defined below) or a Joinder Notice (as defined below) has been made by such Capri Principal or as to which such objection has been resolved in favor of the Investor; provided that the Capri Principles shall not be obligated to pay to the Investor, pursuant to this clause (I), any amounts to the extent that such amounts, together with all other amounts paid or payable to, or retained by, the Investor on or after the first anniversary of the CCLP Acquisition Date, exceed $1,500,000. For purposes hereof, (x) “Claim Notice” shall mean any notice by the Investor to the Capri Principals of any claims of the Investor against the Capri Principals arising under, in relation to or in connection with this Section 7.1(i)(iv)(F), which notice shall identify such claims in reasonable detail, and (y) “Objection Notice” shall mean any notice by one or more of the Capri Principals to the Investor (and to each other Capri Principal) within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of a Claim Notice that one or more of the Capri Principals object to the claims set forth in such Claim Notice, which notice shall specify the reasons for such objection or objections in reasonable detail. Upon receipt of an Objection Notice, each Capri Principal who was not a party to such Objection Notice shall have the right, within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of such Objection Notice, to join in such Objection Notice by delivering a notice of such joinder (a “Joinder Notice”) to the Investor and each other Capri Principal.
(II) From and after the second anniversary of the CCLP Acquisition Date, in respect of Watch-List Loans as of such second
anniversary, the Capri Principals severally (in proportion to their Pro Rata Shares) and not jointly and severally, shall pay to the Investor:
(1) the amount of any DUS Losses occurring prior to the fourth anniversary of the CCLP Acquisition Date, and
(2) the amount of any DUS Losses occurring after the fourth anniversary of the CCLP Acquisition Date, in respect of such Watch-List Loans which, as of such fourth anniversary, are then experiencing an uncured loan default or delinquency, have a debt service coverage ratio of less than 1.0 to 1.0, are subject to a DUS Loss claim made by Xxxxxx Xxx, or in respect of which an event has occurred making the occurrence of a DUS Loss reasonably likely, provided, that from and after each anniversary of such fourth anniversary, the Capri Principals shall have no obligation to pay Investor for DUS Losses in respect of any of such Watch-List Loans which are not continuing to experience one of the circumstances referred to above in this clause (2) as of such anniversary,
in each case pursuant to this clause (II) up to the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount of DUS Losses estimated (on the same basis used to estimate the CCLP Projected DUS Losses) as of such second anniversary to be incurred in respect of such Watch-List Loans and (y) $1,500,000 less the amounts paid or payable to the Investor pursuant to clause (I) above.
(III) In respect of each DUS Loss referred to in clause (I) or (II) above (if any), the Investor shall notify the Capri Principals of the occurrence of such DUS Loss, identifying the applicable Watch-List Loan and the amount of such DUS Loss payable.

3. Section 7.3, but only with respect to the CharterMac Restricted Equity Securities held by Xxxxxx or the Xxxxxx Trust, it being agreed that the provisions of Section 7.3 shall not apply to any CharterMac Restricted Equity Securities held by Fargo (including the Fargo SMU’s).
4. Articles VIII and IX of the Investment Agreement, except that (a) the Capri Entities shall have no liability or obligation of any kind pursuant to such Article VIII or IX, and (b) all liabilities and obligations of the Capri Principals pursuant to such Articles VIII and IX shall be the obligations of the Capri Principals severally (in proportion to their Pro Rata Shares) and not jointly and severally.
5. All of the definitions contained or referred to in Article I to the extent used in any of the Excluded Provisions referred to in paragraphs 1 through 4 above.
