Section 2.1 Lenders’ Commitments.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement, the Lenders shall make the Initial Advance and shall make Ongoing Maintenance Advances, and may make Additional Policy Advances, to the Borrower from time to time before the Commitment Termination Date in such amounts as may be from time to time requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2 and agreed to by the Lenders, for the purposes set forth in Section 2.8(a); provided, however that (i) except as set forth in Section 2.1(e) below, the aggregate principal amount of all Advances from time to time outstanding under this Loan Agreement (including any Protective Advances that the Borrower has knowledge or notice of) shall not exceed the Borrowing Base and (ii) no Lender shall be obligated to make any Advance to the Borrower to the extent that the aggregate outstanding amount of such Advances made by such Lender hereunder exceeds such Lender’s Commitment as set forth in Schedule 2.1(a), as the same is amended (or deemed amended) from time to time by Assignment and Assumption Agreements executed pursuant to Section 13.4 of this Loan Agreement, nor shall any Lender be obligated to make any Advance required to be made by any other Lender.

(b) On the Closing Date, so long as the Borrower has requested the same pursuant to a Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent as set forth below and subject to the conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement, the Lenders shall make the Initial Advance to the Borrower.

(c) After the making of the Initial Advance, so long as the Borrower has requested the same pursuant to a Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent as set forth below and subject to the conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement, the Lenders shall make Ongoing Maintenance Advances to the Borrower.

 

Loan and Security Agreement

Page 2 of 81


(d) After the making of the Initial Advance, so long as the Borrower has requested the same pursuant to a Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent as set forth below and subject to the conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement, the Lenders may make Additional Policy Advances to the Borrower in amounts determined by the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion.

(e) Without regard to the Borrowing Base and without any Borrowing Request, the Lenders shall be entitled to make Advances on behalf of the Borrower as the Lenders determine in their reasonable discretion are necessary in order to make premium payments and to pay other costs and expenses to ensure that one or more Pledged Policies selected by the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion, other than Policies that are sold as contemplated by Section 2.7 of this Loan Agreement, remain in full force and effect, as determined by the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion (such Advances, together with any Advances made from time to time by the Lenders hereunder to pay any costs and expenses in defending the Collateral against any lawsuits or in any other proceedings (including attorneys’ fees) and any Advances made from time to time by the Lenders hereunder during the occurrence and continuance of an Unmatured Event of Default or an Event of Default shall collectively be referred to herein as “Protective Advances”).

Section 2.2 Borrowing Procedures.

(a) The Borrower shall request Advances hereunder by giving notice to the Administrative Agent of the proposed borrowing. Such notice (herein called a “Borrowing Request”) shall be in the form of Exhibit A. The Borrowing Request for the Initial Advance is permitted to have been prepared and delivered by the Borrower up to five (5) Business Days before the date of execution of this Loan Agreement such that the related Proposed Initial Advance Notice and Initial Advance Acceptance may be executed concurrently with this Loan Agreement. The Borrowing Request for the Initial Advance shall (i) specify the date and aggregate amount of the proposed Initial Advance, (ii) identify the Subject Policies proposed to be pledged hereunder in connection with the Initial Advance and confirm that the related Collateral Packages (taking into account the exceptions noted on Schedules V, VI, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, XIV, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX and XXI to the Account Control Agreement) have been uploaded to the FTP Site and (iii) attach a Borrowing Base Certificate, signed by an officer of the Borrower or the Portfolio Administrator.

(b) The Borrower may request an Ongoing Maintenance Advance hereunder by delivering a fully executed and completed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent. Each Borrowing Request for a proposed Ongoing Maintenance Advance shall (i) specify the date and aggregate amount of the proposed Ongoing Maintenance Advance and (ii) attach a Borrowing Base Certificate, signed by an officer of the Borrower or the Portfolio Administrator. The Borrowing Request for the initial Ongoing Maintenance Advance is permitted to have been prepared and delivered by the Borrower up to five (5) Business Days before the date of execution of this Loan Agreement such that the related Subsequent Advance Acceptance may be executed concurrently with this Loan Agreement. The Borrower shall not be entitled to submit Borrowing Requests for, and the Lenders shall not be required to make, Ongoing Maintenance Advances on or after July 16, 2020.

(c) In the event the Borrower desires an Additional Policy Advance, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such desire in writing, which written notice shall identify the Additional Policies proposed to be pledged in connection with the making of such Additional Policy Advance and be accompanied by full and complete Collateral Packages for such Additional Policies. The Borrower shall not deliver any Borrowing Request with respect to a proposed Additional Policy Advance unless and until (i) it has wired the related Expense Deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account following confirmation of the amount thereof and (ii) it has received written notice from the Administrative Agent confirming that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have completed their due diligence with respect to the Additional Policies proposed to be pledged hereunder in connection with the making of such Additional Policy Advance, and indicating which Additional Policies, if any, will be accepted as Collateral hereunder and the estimated amounts that the Lenders will be willing to fund under this Loan Agreement with respect to such Additional Policies. After the Borrower’s wiring of the related Expense Deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account and the Borrower’s receipt of such written notice from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may request an Additional Policy Advance hereunder with respect to such Additional Policies by delivering a fully executed and completed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent. Each Borrowing Request related to a proposed Additional Policy Advance shall (i) specify the date and aggregate amount of the proposed Additional Policy Advance, (ii) identify the Additional Policies proposed to be pledged hereunder in connection with such Additional Policy Advance and confirm that the related Collateral Packages have been uploaded to the FTP Site, and (iii) attach a Borrowing Base Certificate, signed by an officer of the Borrower or the Portfolio Administrator. The Administrative Agent agrees that the Expense Deposit shall be used solely by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for reasonable third-party out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the review and evaluation of the Additional Policies identified in such Borrowing Request, and that any unused portion of the Expense Deposit shall be returned to the Borrower. The Lenders shall be under no obligation to make any Additional Policy Advance. The Lenders may make Additional Policy Advances in their sole and absolute discretion and may require additional documentation (including opinions of counsel) and the satisfaction of conditions, including the payment of additional fees, all as determined by the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion. The Borrower shall not be entitled to submit Borrowing Requests for Additional Policy Advances on or after July 16, 2020.

(d) The Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Portfolio Administrator to execute any Borrowing Base Certificates that are to be delivered in connection with this Agreement. Each of the Borrower, the Portfolio Administrator and the Guarantor hereby agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to anyone in acting upon any signature, written instrument or notice purportedly signed by an officer of the Borrower or the Portfolio Administrator.

Section 2.3 Funding.

(a) No later than five (5) Business Days following the Lenders’ receipt of the Borrowing Request for the Initial Advance, the Lenders shall, in their sole and absolute discretion and acting unanimously, determine whether to approve the Subject Policies, and the

 

Loan and Security Agreement

Page 4 of 81


Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the determination of the amount, if any, the Lenders will fund (a “Proposed Initial Advance”, and such notice of the Proposed Initial Advance, a “Proposed Initial Advance Notice”). Such determination shall be made in the Lenders’ sole and absolute discretion. If the Lenders are willing to make such Proposed Initial Advance and the Borrower determines to accept such Proposed Initial Advance, on or before the third (3rd) Business Day after the delivery of the Proposed Initial Advance Notice by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent that the Borrower accepted the Proposed Initial Advance (an “Initial Advance Acceptance”); for avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower does not deliver an Initial Advance Acceptance by 5:00 pm, New York time on the third (3rd) Business Day following the delivery of the Proposed Initial Advance Notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have rejected such Proposed Initial Advance. No later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the Lenders’ receipt of the Initial Advance Acceptance, and subject to the complete satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article VII with respect to the Initial Advance and the limitations set forth in Section 2.1, the Lenders shall distribute funds in the amount set forth in the Proposed Initial Advance Notice to the Payment Account to be disbursed by the Securities Intermediary in accordance with the terms of the Account Control Agreement.

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

(c) Within thirty (30) days following the Lenders’ receipt of a Borrowing Request for an Additional Policy Advance, the Lenders shall, in their sole and absolute discretion and acting unanimously, determine whether to approve the Additional Policies, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the determination of the amount, if any, the Lenders will fund (a “Proposed Additional Policy Advance”, and such notice of the Proposed Additional Policy Advance, a “Proposed Additional Policy Advance Notice”); provided that such determination shall be in the Lenders’ sole and absolute discretion. If the Lenders are willing to make such Proposed Additional Policy Advance and the Borrower determines to accept such Proposed Additional Policy Advance, on or before the third (3rd) Business Day after the delivery of the Proposed Additional Policy Advance Notice by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent that the Borrower accepts the Proposed Additional Policy Advance (an “Additional Policy Advance Acceptance”) which notice shall specify the agreed Additional Policy Advance Amount; for avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower does not deliver an Additional Policy Advance Acceptance by 5:00 pm, New York time on the third (3rd) Business Day following the delivery of the Proposed Additional Policy Advance Notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have rejected such Proposed Additional Policy Advance. On the

 

Loan and Security Agreement

Page 5 of 81


third (3rd) Business Day following the Lenders’ receipt of the Additional Policy Advance Acceptance, and subject to the complete satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article VII with respect to such Additional Policy Advance and the limitations set forth in Section 2.1, the Lenders shall distribute funds in the amount set forth in the Proposed Additional Policy Advance Notice to the Payment Account to be disbursed by the Securities Intermediary in accordance with the terms of the Account Control Agreement.

(d) The Borrower shall not deliver more than four (4) Borrowing Requests for Ongoing Maintenance Advances in any calendar month. In addition, the Borrower shall not deliver any Borrowing Request so long as with respect to two (2) Borrowing Requests previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, (i) with respect to a Borrowing Request relating to an Additional Policy Advance, the Administrative Agent has not yet delivered the related Proposed Additional Policy Advance Notice, the Borrower has not yet delivered the related Additional Policy Advance Acceptance, the Borrower has not yet rejected the related Proposed Additional Policy Advance or the Borrower has delivered the related Additional Policy Advance Acceptance and the related Subsequent Advance Date has not yet occurred, in each case, in accordance with Section 2.3(c), or (ii) with respect to a Borrowing Request relating to an Ongoing Maintenance Advance, the Borrower has delivered the related Subsequent Advance Acceptance and the related Subsequent Advance Date has not yet occurred.

Section 2.4 Representation and Warranty. Each Borrowing Request pursuant to Section 2.2 and each acceptance of an Advance by the Borrower shall automatically constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that on the date such Borrowing Request is delivered to the Administrative Agent and on the related Advance Date (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Article VIII will be true and correct in all respects as of such Borrowing Request date and as of such Advance Date as though made on such dates (which may be made by reference to updated schedules for Section 8.1(i), Section 8.1(j), Section 8.1(m), Section 8.1(q), Section 8.1(s), Section 8.1(u) and Section 8.1(w), although the updates to any such schedules shall not be deemed to cure any breach resulting from schedules delivered prior to such date nor shall the updates to any such schedules be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of the satisfaction of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Article VII for the making of an Advance, (b) except as otherwise agreed to in this Section, all of the conditions precedent to the making of an Advance contained in Article VII have been satisfied or will have been satisfied as of such Advance Date, (c) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will result from the making of such Advance, and (d) the aggregate principal balance of the outstanding Advances hereunder (taking into account the amount of the Advance requested by the Borrower pursuant to such Borrowing Request including any Protective Advances that the Borrower has knowledge or notice of) will not exceed the Borrowing Base.

Section 2.5 Lender Notes. With respect to each Lender, the Advances made by such Lender to the Borrower shall be evidenced by a single promissory grid note executed by the Borrower (as the same may be amended, modified, extended or replaced from time to time, a “Lender Note” and collectively, the “Lender Notes”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, with appropriate insertions to reflect Advances (or portions thereof) actually funded by

 

Loan and Security Agreement

Page 6 of 81


such Lender, the related applicable interest rates thereof and related repayments and appropriate revisions to reflect assignments effected in accordance with Section 13.4 of this Loan Agreement, payable to the order of such Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, any Protective Advances made by a Lender shall not be required to be evidenced in its Lender Note and the Administrative Agent’s records shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Protective Advances have been made. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to its Lender Note (or on any continuation of such grid) or at such Lender’s option, in the records of such Lender, which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal of, and the interest rates and Interest Periods applicable to the Advances made by such Lender and related repayments and appropriate revisions to reflect assignments effected in accordance with Section 13.4 of this Loan Agreement. Such notations and records shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the subject matter thereof absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure to make any such notations or maintain any such records shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of the Borrower. The Borrower hereby agrees to promptly execute and deliver a new Lender Note upon any assignment to a new Lender effected in accordance with Section 13.4 of this Loan Agreement, and each Lender making an assignment of all or any portion of its Lender Note will either (i) if such assignment is an assignment of its entire Lender Note, deliver its Lender Note to the Borrower for termination and cancellation effective upon Borrower’s execution and delivery of such new Lender Note to the assignee thereof or (ii) if such assignment is an assignment in part of such Lender Note, deliver its Lender Note to the Borrower for termination and cancellation effective upon Borrower’s execution and delivery of a new Lender Note to the assignee thereof and a new Lender Note to such Lender.

Section 2.6 Security Interest.

(a) To secure the timely repayment of the principal of, and interest on, the Advances, and all other Obligations of the Borrower to any Secured Party, including, without limitation, the Aggregate Contingent Interest, and the prompt performance when due of all covenants of the Borrower hereunder and under any other Transaction Document, whether now or hereinafter existing or arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, the Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing, first priority security interest in, and assignment of, all of the Borrower’s rights, titles and interests in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising: all assets of the Borrower, including but not limited to all right, title and interest of the Borrower in the Pledged Policies (unless and until such Policies are sold as provided by Section 2.7 of this Loan Agreement) and proceeds thereof; all accounts receivable, notes receivable, claims receivable and related proceeds including but not limited to, cash, loans, securities, accounts; contract rights; the contracts with and rights to and against the Trustees, the Custodian and/or the Securities Intermediary, as applicable; the Collection Account, the Payment Account, the Policy Account and any other account of the Borrower (excluding only the Borrower Account); reserve accounts; escrow agreements and related books and records; the rights under any purchase agreements relating to such Policies; all data, documents and instruments contained in the Collateral Packages; and such other assets, tangible or intangible, real or personal, as reasonably may be required by the Administrative Agent to fully secure any Advances

 

Loan and Security Agreement

contemplated herein. All of the rights and assets described in the previous sentence are herein referred to collectively as “Collateral”; provided, however, that this definition of “Collateral” does not limit any other collateral that may be pledged to secure the Advances under any other Transaction Document.

(b) The Borrower shall file such financing statements, and execute and deliver such agreements, certificates and documents, and take such other actions, as the Administrative Agent requests in order to perfect, evidence or protect the security interest granted pursuant to Section 2.6(a), including without limitation delivering a collateral assignment in respect of each Pledged Policy subject to this Loan Agreement, naming the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, as the collateral assignee, filed with, and acknowledged to have been filed by, the applicable Issuing Insurance Company; provided, that the foregoing collateral assignment shall not apply to the portion of the face amount that is retained by a third party under any Retained Death Benefit Policy. On or prior to the initial Advance Date and each Advance Date related to an Additional Policy Advance, if any, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered completed but unsigned Change Forms for the Subject Policies to the Securities Intermediary. The Borrower shall cause the Securities Intermediary to execute all such Change Forms in blank to be held by the Securities Intermediary. If an Issuing Insurance Company updates its Change Forms, at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered completed but unsigned updated Change Forms for the related Pledged Policies within five (5) Business Days of such request. The Borrower shall cause the Securities Intermediary to execute such Change Forms in blank to be held by the Securities Intermediary. The Borrower grants to the Administrative Agent, as its irrevocable attorney-in-fact and otherwise, the right, in the Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion following acceleration or maturity of the Obligations of the Borrower under this Loan Agreement, to complete or direct the Securities Intermediary to complete and send any and all Change Forms previously delivered to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or otherwise obtained by the Administrative Agent, to the applicable Issuing Insurance Companies. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the foregoing grant has been coupled with an interest. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file such financing statements as the Administrative Agent determines are necessary or advisable to perfect such security interest without the signature of the Borrower, provided however, notwithstanding any other provision of any Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to file such financing statements, continuation statements or amendments thereto; and provided, further, that if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower in writing that it intends to file any financing statements, continuation statements or amendments thereto but fails to do so, and does not in connection therewith timely instruct the Borrower to file such item or items, then the Borrower shall not be and shall not be deemed to be in breach of any representation or warranty concerning the perfection of related or affected security interests if such breach is a direct result of the Administrative Agent’s failure to file such item or items and such filing would have perfected such security interests. The Borrower hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as the Borrower’s irrevocable attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority to take any other action to sign or endorse the Borrower’s name on any Collateral, and to enforce or collect any of the Collateral following acceleration of the obligations of the Borrower under this Loan Agreement in relation to an uncured Event of Default. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the foregoing appointments of the

 

Loan and Security Agreement

Page 8 of 81


Administrative Agent as the Borrower’s irrevocable attorney-in-fact have been coupled with an interest. The Borrower hereby ratifies and approves all acts of such attorney undertaken or performed consistent with the foregoing and all Applicable Law, and agrees that the Administrative Agent will not be liable for any act or omission with respect thereto, except to the extent that such act or omission constitutes gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent. Subject to the provisions of the UCC and the rights of any purchaser (including any Lender) of the Collateral in connection with the Lenders’ exercise of remedies, none of the foregoing provisions and undertakings constitute or shall be deemed to constitute waiver by the Borrower of its rights, title and interest in or to any such Collateral or the proceeds thereof that are in excess of its payment obligations hereunder and under the Lender Notes.

(c) Upon the receipt by the Lenders of the Net Proceeds after the sale of a Pledged Policy, in each case, pursuant to Section 2.7, the security interest of the Administrative Agent in such Pledged Policy for the benefit of the Secured Parties shall be released and the Administrative Agent agrees to file, promptly upon request, such releases or assignments, as applicable, with respect to such Pledged Policy, request the Securities Intermediary to deliver to the Borrower the Change Forms delivered to it in blank by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.6(b) related to such Pledged Policy, and to take such other actions as the Borrower shall reasonably request in order to evidence any such release of such Pledged Policy. Upon the repayment of all of the Borrower’s Advances then outstanding and all other Obligations (including, without limitation, the Aggregate Contingent Interest) and termination of all Commitments and this Loan Agreement, the security interest of the Administrative Agent in the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties shall be released and the Administrative Agent agrees to file, promptly upon request, such releases or assignments, as applicable, request the Securities Intermediary to deliver to the Borrower all Change Forms delivered to it in blank by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.6(b), and to take such other actions as the Borrower shall reasonably request in order to evidence any such release.

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

The Borrower shall apply the Net Proceeds from any such sale in accordance with Section 4.1(d). The Borrower shall provide written notice of any such sale to the Administrative Agent at least seven (7) Business Days prior to any such sale.

(e) shall, if (i) the number of Pledged Policies is reduced to equal 20% or less of the number of Pledged Policies as of the date of the Initial Advance, or (ii) the cumulative face amount of the Pledged Policies is equal to 20% or less of the cumulative face amount of the Pledged Policies as of the date of the Initial Advance, within 90 days of the Borrower’s receipt of written direction from the Required Lenders, repay all the Advances and all other Obligations.

In delivering the instructions required under Section 5.2(b) and Section 5.2(c), the Administrative Agent shall have the right to rely absolutely upon the information in the Calculation Date Reports, unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders provide alternative information to the Borrower by notice in writing (such notice an “Alternative Information Notice”) not more than five (5) Business Days after receipt of the related Calculation Date Report by the Administrative Agent, in which case, provided that the Borrower shall not have objected to such Alternative Information Notice in writing within one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall have the absolute right to act in accordance with such Alternative Information Notice.

(A) shall subject any Affected Party to any Tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Advance made or funded by it, or shall change the basis of the imposition of any Tax on payments to such Affected Party of the principal of or interest on any Advance owed to or funded by it or any other amounts due under this Loan Agreement in respect of any Advance made or funded by it (except for changes in the rate of Tax on the overall net income of such Affected Party imposed by any applicable jurisdiction in which such Affected Party has an office); or

(B) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of interest rates pursuant to Section 3.1), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party;

Section 6.2 Funding Losses. The Borrower hereby agrees that upon demand by any Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the calculations of the amount being claimed) the Borrower will indemnify such Affected Party against any net loss or actual expense which such Affected Party actually sustains or incurs (including, without limitation, any net loss or expense actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Party to fund or maintain any Advance made by any Lender to the Borrower), as reasonably determined by such Affected Party, as a result of (a) any payment or prepayment (including any mandatory prepayment) of any Advance on a date other than a Distribution Date, or (b) any failure of the Borrower to borrow any Advance on the date specified therefor in an Initial Advance Acceptance or an Additional Policy Advance Acceptance or with respect to an Ongoing Maintenance Advance, within five (5) Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the related Borrowing Request.

Section 6.3 Withholding Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent or applicable Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under this Loan Agreement or a Lender Note issued hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, the Securities Intermediary and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including, to the extent applicable, Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower, the Securities Intermediary and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Loan Agreement.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 6.3), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 6.3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the commitments of the Lenders hereunder and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Loan Agreement.

The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Upon written instructions from the Administrative Agent, each of Borrower, the Portfolio Administrator and the Guarantor shall, and shall cause the Servicer (and the Administrative Agent may cause the Custodian) to release any document related to any Collateral to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Sale of the Collateral.

(i) In addition to all rights and remedies under this Loan Agreement or otherwise, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have all other rights and remedies provided under the relevant UCC and under other Applicable Laws, which rights shall be cumulative.

(e) Conflict of Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Loan Agreement, if at any time the rights, powers and privileges of the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent following the occurrence of an Event of Default conflict (or are inconsistent) with the rights and obligations of the Servicer, or the Portfolio Administrator, the rights, powers and privileges of the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall supersede the rights and obligations of the Servicer and the Portfolio Administrator to the extent of such conflict (or inconsistency), with the express intent of maximizing the rights, powers and privileges of the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent following the occurrence of an Event of Default.

In addition, the Borrower hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that in the event such an Event of Default occurs, each of the Agent and the Lenders may exercise any or all of their rights and remedies provided hereunder, under any of the other Transaction Documents, under the relevant UCC and/or under other Applicable Laws in connection therewith and the Borrower hereby explicitly consents to such exercise. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby waives any claim, cause of action, right, suit and complaint that it may have that the Agent and/or one or more Lenders may have in any way acted wrongfully in connection with such exercise or caused such Event of Default to occur, and waives and releases the Agent, each

of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates from any and all past, present or future claims (including claims for indemnification or contribution), causes of actions, rights, suits, debts, due charges, complaints, obligations (monetary and non-monetary), promises, demands, liabilities, disputes, controversies, damages and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) of any nature whatsoever, in law or in equity, contract, tort or other legal theory, whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted, whether previously existing, currently existing or arising in the future, whether under federal or state or other law, in each case, in connection therewith. The Borrower hereby recognizes that by adding the reference to Article 23, section 2(c) of the Treaty in the Event of Default set forth in Section 10.1(v) of this Loan Agreement, it is possible that the failure of the Borrower to qualify under the limitation of benefits provision set forth in Article 23, section 2(c) of the Treaty could cause an Event of Default. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders that it has consulted with counsel in connection with agreeing to the acknowledgment, waiver and release set forth in this Section 10.4.

If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Portfolio Administrator hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment of the amounts indemnified against in this Section 11.2 that is permissible under Applicable Law.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Loan Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

Trustees, the Custodian, [*] or [*] to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower, the Parent, a Seller, Imperial, the Guarantor, the Servicer, the Portfolio Administrator, the Custodian, any of the Trustees, the Securities Intermediary, [*] or [*]. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of any Lender.

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

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

Section 12.6 Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers,

 

Loan and Security Agreement

Page 72 of 81


directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Portfolio Administrator, the Guarantor or the Servicer, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Portfolio Administrator, the Guarantor and the Servicer and made its own decision to make its Advances hereunder and enter into this Loan Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Portfolio Administrator, the Guarantor and the Servicer. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Portfolio Administrator, the Guarantor or the Servicer which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Section 12.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their outstanding Advances, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of all of the Lender Notes) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Loan Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 12.7 shall survive the payment of all of the Lender Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder and the termination of this Loan Agreement.

Section 12.8 The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, the Servicer, Imperial, the Portfolio Administrator, the

Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents.

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

Section 13.3 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 13.4 Binding Effect; Assignability; Term. This Loan Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Portfolio Administrator and the Guarantor, and their respective successors and assigns, except that no party shall have the right to assign any of their respective rights, or to delegate any of their respective duties and obligations, hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties except as set forth below. Each Lender may assign all or any portion of its Lender Notes, Commitment and Advances hereunder, in each case pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (each, an “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”), and in each case to (1) any Affiliate; or (2) any financial institution or other Person with the approval of the Required Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (such approval by the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that (i) any such assignment shall be in an amount of not less than the lesser of (A) $2,000,000 and (B) one-hundred percent (100%) of such Lender’s outstanding Advances, (ii) the assigning Lender shall promptly give written notice of such assignment to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and (iii) the assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Loan Agreement.

depository institution. Any Lender which assigns all or any portion of its Lender Notes, Commitment and Advances hereunder pursuant to this Section 13.4 may retain or assign all or any portion of its interest in the Aggregate Contingent Interest. For the avoidance of doubt, any Person which does not hold any Lender Note, has no Commitment hereunder and in respect of which no Advances are outstanding, but which has an interest in the Aggregate Contingent Interest, shall not be included in determining the Required Lenders. The Initial Lender represents to the Borrower that, as of the Closing Date, it is an entity (x) that is a corporation formed under the laws of the United States or a U.S. state; (y) whose equity owners, are individuals who are citizens or residents of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and (z) does not carry on any trade or business in Ireland through a local branch or agency; and it has no current intention to cease to be such an entity.

This Loan Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligation of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the Commitments have terminated and all the principal of and interest on the Advances and all other Obligations are paid in full, including, without limitation, the Aggregate Contingent Interest; provided that rights and remedies of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, under Article XI and Section 3.1, Section 3.3 and Section 13.8 shall survive any termination of this Loan Agreement.

The principal amount of each Advance evidenced hereby shall be payable on or prior to the Maturity Date as provided in the Loan Agreement. Borrower also promises to pay to the Lender all other Obligations (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may exceed $[110,000,000]).

The Borrower further promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note from time to time outstanding, payable as provided in the Loan Agreement, 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 Applicable 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 in the Loan Agreement, in immediately available funds.

This Note is one of the Lender Notes referred to in that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of July 16, 2015 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the financial institutions party thereto, as Lenders, [CLMG Corp.], as Administrative Agent, Imperial Finance & Trading, LLC, as Guarantor, and Blue Heron Designated Activity Company, as Portfolio Administrator. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Annex I to the Loan Agreement. In the event of any conflict between any term or provision of this Note and the Loan Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement shall govern and control. This Note is secured pursuant to the security interests granted in the Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and reference is hereby made to the Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents for a statement of the terms and provisions of such security interests.

All parties now or hereafter liable with respect to this Note, whether as makers, endorsers, or otherwise, severally waive presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice of dishonor and notice of the existence or nonpayment of all or any of the Advances.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all amounts then remaining unpaid on this Note shall become, or may be declared to be, immediately due and payable, all as provided in the Loan Agreement.


This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such State, excluding choice of law principles of the laws of such State that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Note to be executed by its duly authorized officer as of the day and year first above written.
