THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
WAREHOUSING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

This Third Amended and Restated Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement is made and entered into as of October 4, 2010, among: (a) Centerline Mortgage Capital Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CMC”), and Centerline Mortgage Partners Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CMP,” and, collectively with CMC, the “Borrowers”); (b) Bank of America, N.A. and each other financial institution party hereto from time to time as a Lender (as defined in Exhibit A); and (c) Bank of America, N.A., as agent for itself and the other Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”).
 
RECITALS
 
Reference is made to the following facts that constitute the background of this Agreement:
 
A.           CMC, CMP and Citicorp USA, Inc. entered into that certain Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2007 (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Original Agreement”).
 
B.           Pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, dated as of December 27, 2007, Bank of America, N.A. succeeded to Citicorp USA, Inc.’s rights and obligations under the Original Agreement.
 
C.           The Lenders, the Agent and the Borrowers have previously amended and restated the Original Agreement in its entirety as set forth in that certain Amended and Restated Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2008, and again as set forth in that certain Second Amended and Restated Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2009 (as amended and/or restated from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Second Amended and Restated Agreement”);
 
D.           The Borrowers have requested that the Second Amended and Restated Agreement be further amended and restated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in order to, among other things, extend the stated Maturity Date; and
 
E.           In response to such requests, the Agent and the Lenders are willing to so amend and restate the Second Amended and Restated Agreement upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, it being the intention of the parties that such amendment and restatement shall not constitute a novation of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Original Agreement.
 
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
 
1. BACKGROUND.
 
 1.1         Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement which are not otherwise defined herein are defined in Exhibit A.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 1.2         General.  Unless otherwise specified in the Loan Documents: (i) references in a Loan Document to “Sections,” “Exhibits,” and “Schedules” are to sections, exhibits, and schedules in and to such Loan Document, (ii) references in a Loan Document to any document, instrument, or agreement (a) shall include all exhibits, schedules, and other attachments thereto, (b) shall include all documents, instruments, or agreements issued or executed in replacement or restatement thereof, to the extent permitted hereby, and (c) shall mean such document, instrument, or agreement, or replacement or predecessor thereto, as amended, supplemented, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time to the extent permitted hereby and in effect at any given time, (iii) wherever from the context it appears appropriate, each term stated in either the singular or plural shall include the singular and plural, and pronouns stated in the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall include the masculine, the feminine, and the neuter, (iv) unless explicitly set forth to the contrary, a reference to a “Subsidiary” means a Subsidiary of the Borrowers or a Subsidiary of such Subsidiary, and a reference to an “Affiliate” means a reference to an Affiliate of any of the Borrowers, (v) titles and captions of Sections, subsections, and clauses in any Loan Document are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of such Loan Document, (vi) unless otherwise indicated, all references to time are references to Boston, Massachusetts, time, (vii) all references to money (including the symbol “$”) are to lawful currency of the United States, (viii) references to “including” mean including without limiting the generality of any description preceding that word, (ix) the rule of construction providing that references to general items following references to specific items are limited to the same type or character of those specific items is not applicable in the Loan Documents, (x) references to any Person include that Person’s heirs, personal representatives, successors, trustees, receivers, and permitted assigns, (xi) references to any Legal Requirement include every amendment or supplement to it, rule and regulation adopted under it, and successor or replacement for it, and (xii) all references to rights of the Agent or the Lenders upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default shall continue with respect to such Default or Event of Default only so long as  such Default or Event of Default continues to exist to the extent such Default or Event of Default can be cured under this Agreement, and all rights of the Borrowers to take any action prior to the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default shall be reinstated upon such Default or Event of Default being cured to the extent such cure is allowed herein.
 
 1.3         Accounting Principles.  All accounting and financial terms used in the Loan Documents and the compliance with each financial covenant therein shall be determined in accordance with GAAP, and all accounting principles shall be applied on a consistent basis so that the accounting principles in a current period are comparable in all material respects to those applied during the preceding comparable period.  The Borrowers shall notify the Agent of any change in GAAP from that in effect on the date hereof which would in any way effect the operation of any covenant in any Loan Documents (including covenants which relate to Persons other than the Borrowers), whereupon the Agent and the Borrowers shall attempt for a reasonable period (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days unless the Agent and the Borrowers agree to extend such time period)  to agree upon appropriate amendments to the affected covenants to eliminate such effect and to produce equivalent results, failing which, for purposes of calculating such financial covenants, GAAP will mean generally accepted accounting principles on the date just prior to the date on which any such change in GAAP became effective.

2.   LOAN PROVISIONS.
 
 2.1           The Facility.
 
  2.1.1           The Loan.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders agree to make Advances to the Borrowers from the date hereof to the Maturity Date (or, in the event that the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, to the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date), during which period the Borrowers may borrow, repay and re-borrow in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The aggregate amount of all Advances outstanding from time to time hereunder may hereinafter collectively be referred to as the “Loan”.  At such time as a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lenders may refuse to make any additional Advances to the Borrowers.
 
  2.1.2           Maximum Amount of Facility.  Subject to the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, the maximum principal amount outstanding under the Loan shall not exceed the aggregate Commitment Amount.
 
  2.1.3           Limitations on Advances.  In addition to the limitations set forth on Exhibit D or elsewhere in this Agreement, each Advance to fund a Mortgage Loan shall be limited so as not to exceed the product of (a) the Advance Rate for such Mortgage Loan set forth on Exhibit D, times (b) the Collateral Value for such Mortgage Loan.
 
  2.1.4           Outstanding Balance of the Loan.  In the event that at any time the outstanding principal balance of the Loan exceeds the lesser of (a) the aggregate Commitment Amount or (b) the sum of the Collateral Value of each Pledged Asset times the applicable Advance Rate for such Pledged Asset, the Borrower shall immediately repay such excess amount on demand to the Agent so that the outstanding principal balance of the Loan is in compliance with the terms and provisions of this Section.
 
 2.2           Term of Loan.  The Loan shall mature and become due and payable, and shall be repaid (together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other then outstanding Obligations) by the Borrowers in full, on the Maturity Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers may terminate the Commitment upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written Notice to the Agent.  All Obligations of the Borrowers shall automatically become due and payable, without demand or Notice of any kind, on the effective date of such termination, including, but not limited to, all Advances, accrued and unpaid interest, accrued and unpaid Non-Usage Fees, costs and expenses, and the Agent’s fees through such effective date.
 
 2.3           Advances.
 
  2.3.1           To obtain an Advance under this Agreement, the Borrowers must deliver to the Agent, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Business Day prior to the date on which the Borrower desires the Advance, a completed and signed request for an Advance (“Advance Request”), on the then current form approved by the Agent.  Any Advance Request received by the Agent later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on a Business Day will be deemed received on the following Business Day.

  2.3.2           Subject to the delivery of an Advance Request, and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, the Borrowers may obtain an Advance under this Agreement upon compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section and in the applicable Exhibit B, including delivery to the Agent of all required Collateral Documents. The Agent’s current form of Advance Request is set forth in Exhibit C.  Upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written Notice to the Borrowers, the Agent may modify its form of Advance Request and any other Exhibit referred to in this Section (other than Exhibit D, which shall only be modified in accordance with Section 12.11 hereof) to conform to current Legal Requirements or the Agent’s or any Lender’s practices with respect to facilities of this type generally applied and, as so modified, those Exhibits will be deemed a part of this Agreement.  Each Advance requested by a Borrower shall be deposited into the Borrowers’ Funding Account.
 
  2.3.3           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (a) at such time as either (i) the long-term senior unsecured debt rating of Freddie Mac shall be reduced by S&P to A or lower, or (ii) any event or action described in Sections 9.1.6 or 9.1.7 of this Agreement under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation or similar law of any jurisdiction, now or hereafter in effect, shall occur or be taken by or with respect to Freddie Mac (not including the conservatorship of Freddie Mac in effect as of the date hereof), the Borrowers shall not be entitled to obtain, and the Lenders shall have no obligation to make, any Advances hereunder to fund the origination of a Freddie Mac Mortgage Loan, and (b) at such time as either (i) the long-term senior unsecured debt rating of Fannie Mae shall be reduced by S&P to A or lower, or (ii) any event or action described in Sections 9.1.6 or 9.1.7 of this Agreement under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation or similar law of any jurisdiction, now or hereafter in effect, shall occur or be taken by or with respect to Fannie Mae (not including the conservatorship of Fannie Mae in effect as of the date hereof), the Borrowers shall not be entitled to obtain, and the Lenders shall have no obligation to make, any Advances hereunder to fund the origination of a Fannie Mae Mortgage Loan.
 
 2.4           Interest Rate and Payment Terms.  All Advances made under the Loan shall be payable as to interest and principal in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Notes.  This Agreement also provides for interest at a Default Rate, Late Charges and prepayment rights and fees.  All payments for the account of the Lenders that are payable to the Lenders hereunder shall be applied to the respective accounts of the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage.  The Agent will disburse such payments to the Lenders on the date of receipt thereof if received prior to 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on such date and, if not, on the next Business Day.  Any and all interest rate selection and conversion provisions in this Agreement are to be administered by the Agent and to be allocated on a pro rata basis to the Note held by each Lender based upon such Lender’s Commitment Percentage.
 
  2.4.1           Interest Rate.  Interest shall accrue each day on the outstanding principal balance of each Advance at the Applicable Rate.
 
  2.4.2           Payment and Calculation of Interest.  All interest shall accrue in arrears and be payable: (i) on the first Business Day of each calendar month, commencing on the first Business Day of the calendar month immediately following the date hereof, and on the first Business Day of each month thereafter until all Obligations incurred with respect to this Agreement shall be fully paid; and (ii) on the Maturity Date.  All interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
 
 
 
 
 
- 4 -

 
 
 
  2.4.3           Principal.  The outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be repaid as follows:
 
    (i)   Each Advance (or any portion thereof, if such Advance was used to fund multiple Eligible Loans) shall be repaid upon the earlier to occur of (a) the payment of the Committed Purchase Price from an Approved Investor with respect to the Eligible Loan funded with such Advance, or (b) the last day of the Warehouse Period applicable to such Advance, as set forth on Exhibit D.
 
    (ii)   Upon telephonic Notice to the Borrowers by the Agent, the Borrowers must pay to the Agent the amount of any outstanding Advance made with respect to a specific Pledged Asset (and the Borrowers hereby authorize the Agent to charge each Borrower’s Operating Account, the Cash Collateral Account and/or the Funding Account for such amount) upon the earliest occurrence of any of the following events:
 
    (a) On the date an Advance was made if the Pledged Loan that was to have been funded by that Advance is not closed and funded.
 
    (b) The elapse of three (3) Business Days from the date an Advance was made against a Pledged Loan, without receipt of the Collateral Documents relating to that Pledged Loan required to be delivered on that date, or such Collateral Documents, upon examination by the Agent, are found not to be in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement or the related Purchase Commitment.
 
    (c) The elapse of ten (10) Business Days without the return of a Collateral Document delivered by the Agent to the Borrowers under a Trust Receipt for correction or completion.
 
    (d) On the date on which a Pledged Asset is determined to have been originated based on untrue, incomplete or inaccurate information or otherwise to be subject to fraud, whether or not the Borrowers had knowledge of the misrepresentation, incomplete or incorrect information or fraud, or on the date on which the Borrowers know, or have reason to know, or receive Notice from the Agent, that one or more of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 8 with respect to such Pledged Asset were inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect on any date when made or deemed made.
 
    (e) On the date a default occurs with respect to the Pledged Asset.
 
    (f) On the mandatory delivery date of the related Purchase Commitment if the related Pledged Asset has not been delivered under the Purchase Commitment prior to such mandatory delivery date, or on the date the related Purchase Commitment expires or is terminated.
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 5 -

 
 
 
    (g) Three (3) Business Days after the date a Pledged Asset becomes covered by a Defaulted Commitment unless (y) the Agent exercises its rights under Section 2.4.3.(v) to revalue the Pledged Asset and the Borrower pays in full the amount required in such Section prior to the end of such 3 Business Day period, or (z) another Purchase Commitment for such Pledged Asset is provided within such 3 Business Day period.
 
    (h) Upon the sale, other disposition or prepayment of any Pledged Asset or, with respect to a Pledged Loan included in an Eligible Mortgage Pool, upon the sale or other disposition of the related Agency Security.
 
    (iii)    In addition to the payments required pursuant to Section 2.4.3(ii), if the principal amount of any Pledged Loan is prepaid in whole or in part while an Advance is outstanding against the Pledged Loan, the Borrowers must pay to the Agent, without the necessity of prior demand or Notice from the Agent, the amount of the prepayment, to be applied against the Advance.
 
    (iv)    The proceeds of the sale or other disposition of (a) a Pledged Loan must be paid directly by the Approved Investor to the Cash Collateral Account, and (b) a Pledged Security must be paid directly by the Approved Investor to the Agent’s Custodial Account.  The Borrowers must give Notice to the Agent (by telephone or electronic mail, and if by telephone, followed promptly by written notice) of the Pledged Asset for which proceeds have been received. Upon receipt of such Notice from the Borrowers, the Agent will apply any proceeds deposited into the Borrowers’ Cash Collateral Account to the payment of the Advance related to the Pledged Asset identified by the Borrowers in the Notice, and that Pledged Asset will be considered to have been redeemed from pledge.  The Agent is entitled to rely upon the Borrowers’ affirmation that deposits in the Cash Collateral Account represent payments from Approved Investors for the purchase of the Pledged Asset specified by the Borrowers in the Notice.  If the payment from an Approved Investor for the purchase of a Pledged Asset is less than the outstanding Advance against such Pledged Asset (a “Deficiency”), the Borrowers shall immediately deposit into the Cash Collateral Account cash in an aggregate amount equal to the Deficiency and hereby authorize the Agent to charge the Cash Collateral Account for the amount deposited by the Borrowers to cover such Deficiency, which cash shall be applied by the Agent against such Advance. As long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Agent will transfer any excess payment from an Approved Investor for a Pledged Asset into the Operating Account of the applicable Borrower.
 
    (v)     The Agent reserves the right in its unrestricted discretion (but shall not be obligated) to revalue any Pledged Asset that is covered by a Defaulted Commitment.  In the event the Agent revalues a Pledged Asset, and the Borrower has not provided a replacement Purchase Commitment pursuant to clause (z) of Section 2.4.3(g), the Borrower, without the necessity of prior demand, but within the three (3) Business Day period set forth in Section 2.4.3.(g), shall pay any amount required after any such revaluation to reduce the principal amount of the Advances outstanding against the revalued Pledged Asset to an amount that does not exceed the applicable Advance Rate multiplied by the Fair Market Value of such Pledged Asset.
 
    (vi)    As provided for in Section 2.4.5.
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 6 -

 
 
 
      2.4.4           Prepayment.  The Loan or any portion thereof may be prepaid in full or in part on any Business Day, without premium or penalty, at any time by 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date of such prepayment.
 
  2.4.5           Maturity.  Upon acceleration of the Loan, if the Loan has been accelerated by the Agent (or the Loan has been automatically terminated) upon an Event of Default, or at the Maturity Date, all accrued and unpaid interest, principal and other Obligations due with respect to the Loan shall be due and payable in full, and the principal balance and such other Obligations, but not unpaid interest, shall continue to bear interest at the Default Rate until so paid.
 
  2.4.6           Method of Payment; Date of Credit.  All payments of interest, principal and fees shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds, without counterclaim or setoff and free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for, any taxes or other payments: (a) with respect to interest, by direct charge to the Operating Accounts, Cash Collateral Account and/or Funding Account of the Borrowers, or (b) by wire transfer to the Agent.  Payments shall be credited on the Business Day on which immediately available funds are received prior to 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time); payments received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) shall be credited to the Loan on the next Business Day.  Payments which are by check, which the Agent may at its option accept or reject, or which are not in the form of immediately available funds, shall not be credited to the Loan until such funds become immediately available to the Agent, and, with respect to payments by check, such credit shall be provisional until the item is finally paid by the payor bank. All payments shall be applied first to the payment of all fees, expenses, and other amounts due to the Lenders (excluding principal and interest), then to accrued interest, and the balance on account of outstanding principal, provided, however, that after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, payments will be applied to the Obligations as the Agent determines, subject to the provisions of Section 11.2.4.
 
  2.4.7           Billings.  The Agent may submit monthly billings reflecting payments due; however, any changes in the interest rate which occur between the date of billing and the due date may be reflected in the billing for a subsequent month.  Neither the failure of the Agent to submit a billing nor any error in any such billing shall excuse the Borrowers from the obligation to make full payment of all the Borrowers’ payment Obligations when due.
 
  2.4.8           Default Rate.  Following any Event of Default (including, without limitation, following the Maturity Date), unless and until the Event of Default is waived by the Agent or cured, the Agent shall have the option of imposing, and the Borrowers shall pay upon billing therefor, an interest rate which is four percent (4%) per annum above the Applicable Rate (the “Default Rate”).
 
  2.4.9           Late Charges.  The Borrowers shall pay, upon billing therefor, a “Late Charge” equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of any payment of principal, other than principal due at the Maturity Date (or the date on which the Agent accelerates the time for payment of the Loan after the occurrence of an Event of Default), interest, or other Obligations, which are not paid within ten (10) days of the due date thereof.  Late Charges are: (a) payable in addition to, and not in limitation of, the Default Rate, (b) intended to compensate the Agent and the Lenders for administrative and processing costs incident to late payments, (c) not interest, and (d) not subject to refund or rebate or credit against any other amount due.

 2.6           Acceleration.  The Agent  may, and upon the request of the Requisite Lenders shall, terminate the Commitments, and accelerate the Loan, following an Event of Default, provided, however, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 9.1.6 or 9.1.7, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable automatically and without any requirement of notice from any of the Lenders or the Agent.  Upon such an acceleration, all Obligations shall be due and payable together with interest thereon at the Default Rate and any applicable make whole premiums.

  11.1.8         The Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent, ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments, for (i) any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrowers for which the Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrowers under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) any other expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, amendment, waiver and/or enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iii) any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or any transaction contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent that they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent.  If any indemnity furnished to the Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the action indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.
 
  11.1.9         Agent in its Individual Capacity.  With respect to its Commitment as a Lender, and the Loans made by it and the Note issued to it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity.  The Agent and its subsidiaries and affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of commercial or investment banking, trust, advisory or other business with the Borrowers or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrowers as if it were not the Agent hereunder.
 
  11.1.10       Successor Agent.  The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers.  Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent.  If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the retiring or removed Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Agent.  Each such successor Agent shall be a financial institution which meets the requirements of an Eligible Assignee.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder, or the removal of the Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Section 11 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent hereunder.

  11.1.11       Duties in the Case of Enforcement.  In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent shall, at the request, or may, upon the consent, of the Requisite Lenders, and provided that the Lenders have given to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents respecting the foreclosure of mortgages, the sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral and the exercise of any other legal or equitable rights or remedies as it may have hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise by virtue of applicable law, or to refrain from so acting if similarly requested by the Requisite Lenders.  The Agent shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting upon the instruction of the Requisite Lenders, and such instruction shall be binding upon all the Lenders.  The Requisite Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such foreclosure, sale or other disposition or the exercise of any other right or remedy, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless from all costs and liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such direction, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction.  The Agent may, in its discretion but without obligation, in the absence of direction from the Requisite Lenders, take such interim actions as it believes necessary to preserve the rights of the Lenders hereunder and in and to any Collateral securing the Obligations, including but not limited to petitioning a court for injunctive relief, appointment of a receiver or preservation of the proceeds of any Collateral.  Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, including without limitation the Notes, other than through the Agent.
 
  11.1.12       Distributions of Notices and Documents.  The Agent will forward to each Lender, promptly after the Agent's receipt thereof, a copy of each notice or other document furnished to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement other than routine communications associated with requests for Advances or determinations of Collateral eligibility, other routine or nonmaterial communications, notices or documents required by any of Loan Documents to be furnished directly to the Lenders by the Borrowers, or of which the Agent has knowledge that such notice or document otherwise had been forwarded directly to the Lenders other than by the Agent.

  11.2.2         Nature of Obligations of Lenders.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint.  Failure of any Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder shall not result in any other Lender becoming obligated to advance more than its Commitment Percentage of the Loan, nor shall such failure release or diminish the obligations of any other Lender to fund its Commitment Percentage provided herein.
 
  11.2.3         Payments to Agent.  All payments of principal of and interest on the Loan or the Notes shall be made to the Agent by the Borrowers or any other obligor or guarantor for the account of the Lenders in immediately available funds as provided in the Notes and this Agreement and any other Loan Document.

  11.2.4         Distribution of Liquidation Proceeds.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Agent shall distribute all Liquidation Proceeds in the order and manner set forth below:

Third:

Fifth:
To all applicable Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders have been paid in full all other amounts due to such Lenders under the Loan including, without limitation, any costs and expenses incurred directly by such Lenders to the extent such costs and expenses are reimbursable to such Lenders by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents.

  11.2.5         Adjustments.  If, after Agent has paid each Lender’s proportionate share of any payment received or applied by Agent in respect of the Loan, that payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or paid over by Agent, whether pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law, sharing of payments clause of any loan agreement or otherwise, such Lender shall, at Agent’s request, promptly return its proportionate share of such payment or application to Agent, together with the Lender’s proportionate share of any interest or other amount required to be paid by Agent with respect to such payment or application.

The non-delinquent Lenders shall also have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to acquire for no cash consideration, (pro rata, based on the respective Commitments of those Lenders electing to exercise such right) the Delinquent Lender’s Commitment to fund future Loans (the “Future Commitment”).  Upon any such purchase of the pro rata share of any Delinquent Lender’s Future Commitment, the Delinquent Lender’s share in future Loans and its rights under the Loan Documents with respect thereto shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Delinquent Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest, including, if so requested, an Assignment and Acceptance.  Each Delinquent Lender shall indemnify Agent and each non-delinquent Lender from and against any and all loss, damage or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and funds advanced by Agent or by any non-delinquent Lender, on account of a Delinquent Lender’s failure to timely fund its pro rata share of a Loan or to otherwise perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.
 
  11.2.9         Holders.  The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Agent.  Any request, authority or consent of any person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

  11.4.2         Deemed Consent or Approval.  With respect to any requested amendment, waiver, consent or other action which requires the approval of the Requisite Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or if the Agent is required hereunder to seek, or desires to seek, the approval of the Requisite Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be, prior to undertaking a particular action or course of conduct, the Agent in each such case shall provide each Lender with written notice of any such request for amendment, waiver or consent or any other requested or proposed action or course of conduct, accompanied by such detailed background information and explanations as may be reasonably necessary to determine whether to approve or disapprove such amendment, waiver, consent or other action or course of conduct.  The Agent may (but shall not be required to) include in any such notice, printed in capital letters or boldface type, a legend substantially to the following effect:
 
“THIS COMMUNICATION REQUIRES IMMEDIATE RESPONSE.  FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN TEN (10) CALENDAR DAYS FROM THE RECEIPT OF THIS COMMUNICATION SHALL CONSTITUTE A DEEMED APPROVAL BY THE ADDRESSEE OF THE ACTION REQUESTED BY THE BORROWERS OR THE COURSE OF CONDUCT PROPOSED BY THE AGENT AND RECITED ABOVE,”
 
and if the foregoing legend is included by the Agent in its communication, a Lender shall be deemed to have approved or consented to such action or course of conduct for all purposes hereunder if such Lender fails to object to such action or course of conduct by written notice to Agent within ten (10) calendar days of such Lender’s receipt of such notice; provided, however, that, upon the written request of any Lender for additional time to consider such proposed action or course of conduct in accordance with the requirements of such Lender’s internal review process, the foregoing 10-day period shall be extended by the Agent for up to an additional ten (10) calendar days.
 
            11.5           Commitment Increases.
 
  (a)           At any time and from time to time after the date hereof, the Commitment may be increased either by an Additional Lender establishing a Commitment Amount or by one or more then existing Lenders, at each such Lender’s sole discretion (an “Increase Lender”) increasing its Commitment Amount (each such increase by either means, a “Commitment Increase”) provided that no Commitment Increase shall become effective unless and until the Agent has approved (in its unrestricted discretion) such Commitment Increase, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Additional Lender or the Increase Lender shall have executed and delivered an amendment with respect to such Commitment Increase.  Prior to the effective date of any Commitment Increase, the Borrowers shall issue a Note to the Additional Lender or, against surrender of its existing Note, to an Increase Lender in the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Amount after giving effect to such Commitment Increase.  Such new promissory notes shall constitute a “Note” for the purpose of the Loan Documents.  For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding the Agent’s ability to approve or refuse Commitment Increases, no Lender’s Commitment Amount shall be increased as a result of a Commitment Increase without such Lender’s consent.
 
 
 
 
 
- 60 -

 
 
 
    (b)           On the effective date of any Commitment Increase, the Agent shall recompute the Commitment Percentage for each Lender following the Commitment Increase, and within two (2) Business Days, the Agent shall request Advances from or shall direct prepayments of such Advances to, each Lender so that the total amount of all then outstanding Advances are shared pro rata with each Lender, pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof.
