ARTICLE II.
THE FACILITY

SECTION 2.1  The Warehouse Facility.  i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees to issue commitments (each such commitment, a Financing Commitment) to make Credit Extensions to Approved Borrowers from time to time during the Availability Period; provided, that the term of any Credit Facility executed in connection with a Financing Commitment shall not extend beyond the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date.  Each Financing Commitment shall initially be an Open Commitment which may, upon acceptance by the client or borrower, become an Accepted Commitment.

(b)

Unless and until waived by the Lender, the aggregate amount of Accepted Commitments (reduced to the extent funded or syndicated through assignments or participations), Forward Purchase Arrangements, Loan Trading Facility Loans, Clearing Agreement Exposure and two times the amount of any Excess Retention at any time outstanding may not exceed $1.5 billion, unless the reason for the excess is an Open Commitment becoming an Accepted Commitment, as described in the following sentence.  Unless and until waived by the Lender, the aggregate amount of Accepted Commitments (reduced to the extent funded or syndicated through assignments or participations), Forward Purchase Arrangements, Loan Trading Facility Loans, Open Commitments, Clearing Agreement Exposure and two times the amount of any Excess Retention may not exceed $2.0 billion; provided, that if an Open Commitment is accepted, which causes the $1.5 billion ceiling described above to be exceeded, then no further Open Commitments will be made until such $1.5 billion ceiling is restored.

(c)

Subject to the following sentence, it is understood that any Pending Loan Syndication that OPY Credit Corp. elects to make subject to the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii) of the Asset Purchase Agreement shall not be included in the calculation of Open Commitments or Accepted Commitments for purposes of Section 2.01(b).  OPY Credit Corp. shall not be responsible for any Syndication Losses or Excess Retention Losses in connection with the syndication of any Pending Loan Syndication, unless it agrees in its sole discretion to be responsible for Syndication Losses and Excess Retention Losses, and a Target Retention is agreed, such Losses if any to be determined on the basis and subject to the 10% Cap, in which case, such Pending Loan Syndication shall be subject to this Agreement in all respects, including for purposes of determining compliance with any utilization limits, restrictions or tests hereunder.

(d)

Client loan proposals, staple financing proposals and similar non-binding expressions of interest in financings will not be subject to the terms of this Agreement, but will be subject to the general credit policies and practices of the Lender.

SECTION 0.2  Approval Procedures.  Each Request for Commitment shall be made by OPY Credit Corp. in writing to the Lender not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date for date of such Financing Commitment issuance and shall be accompanied by a written credit presentation and an underwriting opinion, all of which shall be in accordance with the Lenders customary practices and requirements.  It is understood that any such credit presentation shall satisfy the underwriting criteria and diligence required by each of OPY Credit Corp. and the Lender.  It is also understood that as part of its credit review the Lender shall receive a summary (in form and substance satisfactory to it) of the due diligence that OPY Credit Corp. has performed with respect to such proposed Client Loan; provided, that the Lender shall have the right to conduct its own independent due diligence with respect to any proposed Client Loan.  Each Request for Commitment shall be subject to approval by the Special Credit Committee on which OPY Credit Corp. shall have two seats and the Lender shall have either a majority of the seats or votes which will be subject to the Lenders separate credit committee, such that the Lender shall ultimately be responsible for and make all credit determinations.  It is understood that all members of the Special Credit Committee shall at all time comply with all relevant policies of the Lender and OPY Credit Corp. and all applicable laws.  It is understood that any Credit Approval may, at the discretion of the Special Credit Committee, include a ticking fee, commitment fee or other fee to compensate the Lender for the extension of its commitment and will include customary termination or drop dead dates.  The credit approval by the Special Credit Committee of any Client Loan shall be exercised in its discretion, exercised in good faith in accordance with the Lenders and OPY Credit Corp.s credit approval practices and requirements, as well as syndication and retention requirements in accordance with the Lenders practices (Credit Approval).  Within five (5) Business Days of receipt of a duly completed Request for Commitment, the Lender shall notify OPY Credit Corp. of its credit decision and, in the case of each Credit Approval, the conditions of such Credit Approval and the Target Retention.  None of the activities undertaken by the Lender in connection with its review and approval of any Client Loan or the administration thereof shall in any way restrict the Lenders ability to sell or otherwise transfer any retained portion of such Client Loan.

SECTION 0.3  Financing Commitment Procedures.  For each such Credit Approval, upon the request of OPY Credit Corp., the Lender shall prepare and deliver to OPY Credit Corp. a written Financing Commitment in accordance with the Lenders customary practices, as the same may be modified by the Lender from time to time, evidencing the terms and conditions set forth in its Credit Approval.  It is understood that each Accepted Commitment will be signed by both the Lender and OPY Credit Corp.; provided, that OPY Credit Corp. shall have no obligation to extend any credit thereunder.  At any time from and after the issuance of a commitment letter (whether an Open Commitment or Accepted Commitment), the Lender may require that OPY Credit Corp. provide specified collateral security (Specified Collateral) in such amount as may be required by the Special Credit Committee in connection with approving the particular Financing Commitment, but not to exceed the 10% Cap as security for the payment of any Syndication Losses and Excess Retention Losses in connection with such commitment.  The Specified Collateral may be cash (which the Lender agrees is always acceptable collateral) or, if proposed by OPY Credit Corp. and satisfactory to the Lender in its sole discretion, Cash Equivalents, letters of credit, guaranties by an Affiliate of OPY Credit Corp., or other collateral or credit support as may be required by the Special Credit Committee in connection with approving the particular Financing Commitment.

SECTION 0.4  Client Interface and Syndication Procedures.

(a)

OPY Credit Corp. shall be the primary interface with the client to lead, negotiate, price, structure and close the Credit Facilities on the terms specified by the Special Credit Committee.  OPY Credit Corp. shall be designated as arranger of Credit Facilities, and may (unless such titles are assigned to other lenders) be designated as syndication agent and documentation agent on Credit Facilities, and the Lender shall be designated as administrative agent and may be designated as a co-arranger or co-agent on Credit Facilities.  It is understood that the team that structures, negotiates and closes Client Loans shall cooperate fully with the Lenders Credit Personnel and that the final structure, terms and designation of titles of each Credit Facility would be acceptable to each of OPY Credit Corp. and the Lenders Credit Personnel.  The Lenders Credit Personnel would review, monitor and administer the Credit Facilities once made, in their sole discretion.

(b)

Each Credit Facility shall be documented on terms satisfactory to each of OPY Credit Corp. and the Lender, and shall be syndicated by OPY Credit Corp.  If, during syndication, it is proposed that the terms of such facility be changed, the approval of the Special Credit Committee, subject to the Lenders separate credit committee, shall be needed.  If approval of such new terms is declined, the Financing Commitment shall be terminated, and if approval is given, OPY Credit Corp. shall close the transaction on the terms contemplated by the original credit approval, as so modified (each a Credit Facility).  Each Credit Facility shall be documented by OPY Credit Corp. in accordance with the Lenders customary practices, as the same may be modified from time to time with the Lenders consent.  OPY Credit Corp. shall discharge all of its duties using the same degree of skill and attention that the Lender historically exercised with respect to comparable credit facilities that it arranged and syndicated.  It is understood that for those syndications conducted by OPY Credit Corp. on a best efforts basis, the Lender would commit to fund only a portion of the proposed Credit Facility (which will be its Target Retention for such facility) and would be administrative agent for the facility and that for each underwritten syndication the Lender would commit to fund the entire Credit Facility (and would establish a separate Target Retention) and would be administrative agent for the facility.

SECTION 0.5  Closing and Funding Procedures.  ii) The obligation of the Lender to close and fund any Credit Facility shall be subject to the Lenders determination that all of the conditions precedent included therein shall have been satisfied (which shall include, at a minimum, those conditions set forth in the Lenders standard credit documentation, as the same may be modified by the Lender from time to time).  Without limitation of the Lenders rights under Section 2.03, at the Closing of any Credit Facility, the Lender may (if it has not already done so) require that OPY Credit Corp. provide Specified Collateral up to 10% of the aggregate amount of such Credit Facility (taking into account any collateral previously provided under Section 2.03 hereof) as security for payment of any Syndication Losses and Excess Retention Losses in connection with such Credit Facility.  At the Closing for each Credit Facility, the Lender shall extend the credit for the amount of the Accepted Commitment, subject to any assignments or participations syndicated, arranged and closed by OPY Credit Corp. prior to such funding, and OPY Credit Corp. (subject to review and approval by the Lender) shall compute (i) any commitment, origination, closing, structuring, syndication and similar fees so designated and payable in connection with such Credit Facility, (ii) the portion of such fees shared by OPY Credit Corp. with assignees and participants (including the Lender with regard to the portion of such Credit Facility retained by it, if any), (iii) all designated fees payable to the Lender by a client after the issuance of an underwritten Financing Commitment and the net fees payable to the Lender, (iv) the market or syndication discount, if any, applicable to the syndication of such Credit Facility at funding, and (v) the Syndication Losses, if any, associated with such Credit Facility (including the portion of such Credit Facility retained by the Lender).  At the closing of the syndication (but in no event more than 30 days following the Closing), OPY Credit Corp. shall deduct the Syndication Loss, if any, from its retained fees, and pay any resulting shortfall.

(c)

From and after the Closing of each Credit Facility, the Lender shall hold the remaining amount of the Financing Commitments thereunder after giving effect to all assignments and participations arranged and completed by OPY Credit Corp. prior to, or simultaneously with, the Closing.  For so long as the Lender shall hold any such Financing Commitments, all voting, consent and other rights with respect thereto shall inure to the Lender, and the Lender shall receive its ratable share of all interest, unused fees, L/C fees, waiver and amendment fees and similar fees paid under the Credit Facility.  The Lender agrees to execute and deliver all documentation reasonably necessary to effect assignments arranged by OPY Credit Corp. prior to the Closing of a Credit Facility and completed within 30 days following such Closing.

(d)

Subject to Section 4.01, it is understood and agreed that Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce may, in its sole discretion, cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to assume all of the rights and obligations of the Lender under any Credit Facility.

SECTION 0.2  Treatment of Excess Retention.  If, after the Closing of a Credit Facility, there exists Excess Retention for such Credit Facility, each of OPY Credit Corp. and the Lender shall have the right, in its discretion, to sell or dispose of all or any portion of the full amount of such Excess Retention at any price and on any terms which it shall determine, in which case OPY Credit Corp. will promptly reimburse the Lender for any and all Excess Retention Losses from such sale (exclusive of any Syndication Losses discharged in accordance with Section 2.05(a) hereof); provided, however, that (i) OPY Credit Corp. shall have the exclusive right to conduct such sales for the time period specified by the Special Credit Committee at the time it issues a credit approval for such Credit Facility, it being understood that after the expiry of such period, the Lender may continue to allow OPY Credit Corp. to manage such sale, and (ii) OPY Credit Corp.s liability for Syndication Losses and Excess Retention Losses for any Financing Commitment by the Lender shall not exceed the 10% Cap.  Any Excess Retention Losses shall be payable upon each sale of any Excess Retention as provided above.

SECTION 0.3  Extension of Maturity Date.  OPY Credit Corp. may, by notice to the Lender not earlier than the third anniversary of the Closing Date and not later than the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, request that the Lender extend the Maturity Date.  Upon receipt of notice by the Lender, the Lender and OPY Credit Corp. shall discuss in good faith whether the Maturity Date shall be extended and the terms upon which any such extension would be made.

SECTION 0.4  First Offer Rights.  From the Closing Date through the Maturity Date, OPY Credit Corp. shall grant the Lender the right of first offer to issue all Financing Commitments for clients of OPY Credit Corp.; provided, that such rights shall cease if and when (1) this facility has been fully utilized and/or (2) the Lenders hold limits and/or utilization under this facility have rendered this facility unusable for fulfilling the financing needs of OPY Credit Corp.s clients, in the context of market norms.

SECTION 0.5  Assignment Fees.  If OPY Credit Corp. elects to waive collection of any Assignment Fee from its client, OPY Credit Corp. agrees to pay to the Lender such Assignment Fee on the last Business Day of each month in respect of all Assignment Fees waived during such month.  If no Assignment Fee is due and payable under the terms of the underlying credit agreement in respect of any trade arranged by OPY Credit Corp., OPY Credit Corp. shall not be liable to make a payment on account of an Assignment Fee in respect of such trade.  The Assignment Fees shall be non-refundable.

It is understood and agreed that this provision relates solely to the Warehouse Facility and that OPY Credit Corp. shall have no responsibility for any capital requirements of the Lender attributable to any Credit Extensions, Open Commitments, Accepted Commitments or Forward Purchase Arrangements hereunder.

(b)

A certificate of the Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender as specified in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.03 shall be delivered to OPY Credit Corp. and shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes, so long as it reflects the basis for the calculation of the amounts set forth therein and does not contain any manifest error.  OPY Credit Corp. shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Lender shall take such actions that OPY Credit Corp. may reasonably request in order to reduce the amounts payable under Sections 3.03(a), provided that OPY Credit Corp. shall reimburse the Lender for any costs incurred by the Lender in doing so to the extent that the Lender reasonably determines that such costs are allocable to OPY Credit Corp. with respect to the existent of the Warehouse Facility hereunder and provided further that the Lender shall only be required to take such actions if it determines in good faith that such actions would not be disadvantageous to it, and (ii) OPY Credit Corp. shall not be required to compensate the Lender under Sections 3.03(a) for any costs or additional amounts arising prior to the date that the Lender notifies OPY Credit Corp. of the event giving rise to such costs and amounts of the Lenders intention to claim compensation therefor.
