Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative
Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation
of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.



               (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such
event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order
of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in a
form furnished by the Collateral Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Thereafter, the
Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after
assignment pursuant to Section 12.07) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form
payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note,
to such payee and its registered assigns).



          Section 2.04 Interest.




               (a) The Term Loan shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from time to time
outstanding, from January 1, 2009 until such principal amount becomes due, at a rate per annum
equal to 20.00%; provided, however, that, subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.04, all of
such interest (the “PIK Interest Amount”) shall be paid-in-kind by being added to the
outstanding principal balance of such Term Loan. Any interest to be capitalized shall be
capitalized on the first day of each month, commencing on the first day of the month following the
Effective Date and added to the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and,
thereafter, shall bear interest as provided hereunder as if it had originally been part of the
outstanding principal of the Term Loans.



               (b) Default Interest. To the extent permitted by law and notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Section, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all Loans, fees, indemnities or
any other Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan



27









 







Documents, shall bear interest, from the date such Event of Default occurred until the date such Event of Default is
cured or waived in writing in accordance herewith, at a rate per annum equal at all times to
23.00%.



               (c) Interest Payment. Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section 2.04, interest on
each Loan shall be payable, without duplication:



                    (i) on each date Collections are received if sufficient Collections or other funds are
available hereunder for the payment of interest pursuant to Section 2.05(d); and



                    (ii) on the Final Maturity Date;



     provided, that interest payable pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.04 shall
be payable on demand. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, and the
Administrative Agent may, from time to time, charge the Loan Account pursuant to Section 4.01 with
the amount of any interest payment due hereunder.



               (d) General. All interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for
the actual number of days, including the first day but excluding the last day, elapsed.



          Section 2.05 Reduction of Commitment; Prepayment of Loans.




               (a) Reduction of Commitments. The Total Term Loan Commitment shall terminate at
5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date. In addition, the
Total Term Loan Commitment and the Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced in
accordance with Section 2.01(b).



               (b) Optional Prepayment.



                    (i) Term Loan. The Borrower may, upon at least sixty (60) Business Days’ prior
written notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay the principal of the Term Loan, in whole or in
part. Each prepayment made pursuant to this clause 2.05(b)(i) shall be accompanied by the payment
of accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid.



                    (ii) Prepayment In Full. The Borrower may, upon at least sixty (60) days prior
written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate this Agreement by paying to the
Administrative Agent, in cash, the Obligations, in full. If the Borrower has sent a notice of
termination pursuant to this clause (ii), then the Lenders’ obligations to extend credit hereunder
shall terminate and the Borrower shall be obligated to repay the Obligations, in full, on the date
set forth as the date of termination of this Agreement in such notice.



               (c) Mandatory Prepayment. (i) On each date on which Collections are received by the
Borrower or the Servicer with respect to any Insurance Premium Loan, Borrower shall repay the
principal amount of the related Tranche of the Term Loan, to the extent of Collections available
therefor in accordance with Section 2.05(d) hereof.



28









 





                    (ii) If on any day a Borrowing Base Deficit exists, on such date Borrower shall make a
prepayment of the principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to such Borrowing Base Deficit.


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.05(c), during the period from the
Effective Date to the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date payments received by any Agent shall
held by such Agent and delivered to the Lender entitled to receive such payment only upon the
consent of the Required Funded Lenders.




               (d) Application of Payments. On each day that Collections (other than Salvage
Collections, but including all payments made by the Collateral Value Insurer or Contingent
Collateral Value Insurer to the Borrower under the Collateral Value Policy or Contingent Collateral
Value Policy) are received by the Servicer, the Originator, the Borrower, or the Insurance
Collateral Agent or any other Person on their behalf in respect of any Insurance Premium Loan (or
related Life Insurance Policy) financed hereunder or the Collateral Value Policy or Contingent
Collateral Value Policy, the Borrower shall (or shall cause such other Person to) on the Business
Day of such receipt, transfer such amounts to the Collection Account for distribution in accordance
with this Section 2.05(d). On each such date, as long as no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall distribute (from such amounts so deposited in the
Collection Account with respect thereto) such Collections with respect to the Covered Portion of an
Insurance Premium Loan (other than Salvage Collections) in the following order of priority:



                    (i) first, to pay the Servicer an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Servicing
Fees then due and payable in accordance with the Transaction Documents until paid in full;



                    (ii) second, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans until paid
in full, including all previously accrued and capitalized interest thereon (including, without
limitation, the PIK Interest Amount),



                    (iii) third, to pay the Insurance Collateral Agent an amount equal to any fees,
expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due and payable to the Insurance
Collateral Agent in accordance with the Transaction Documents until paid in full;



                    (iv) fourth, to pay principal of the Loans until paid in full, and



                    (v) fifth, any remaining Collections with respect to the Covered Portion of an
Insurance Premium Loan on such date shall be paid to the Borrower, for its own account.



     On each such date, after giving effect to the application of Collections with respect to the
Covered Portion of an Insurance Premium Loan set forth above, as long as no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall retain (from such amounts so deposited
in the Collection Account with respect thereto) such Collections with respect to the Uncovered
Portion of an Insurance Premium Loan (other than Salvage Collections).



29









 





     At any time a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all Collections
shall be distributed and applied pursuant to Section 4.03(b).



     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.05(d), (A) during the period from
the Effective Date to the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date payments received by any Agent
shall held by such Agent and delivered to the applicable Lender entitled to receive such payment
only upon the consent of the Required Funded Lenders and (B) (x) Collections with respect to an
Insurance Premium Loan that is financed by a Specified Term Loan shall be applied first, to
Obligations with respect to Specified Term Loans and second, to Obligations with respect to all
other Terms Loans and (y) Collections with respect to an Insurance Premium Loan that is financed by
a Term Loan that is not a Specified Term Loan shall be applied first, to Obligations with respect
to Term Loans that are not Specified Term Loans and second, to Obligations with respect to
Specified Terms Loans.



               (e) Salvage Collections. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05(d), Section
4.03(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, on each date which Collections are received with
respect to any Insurance Premium Loan for which there are Salvage Collections, the Borrower, the
Lenders or the Agents shall, to the extent received by them, distribute such Salvage Collections on
such date to the Collateral Value Insurer or the Contingent Collateral Value Insurer that paid the
claim to the Borrower.



               (f) Interest and Fees. Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be
accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment and
if such prepayment would reduce the amount of the outstanding Loans to zero, such prepayment shall
be accompanied by the payment of all fees accrued to such date pursuant to Section 2.06.



               (g) Cumulative Prepayments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section
2.05, payments with respect to any subsection of this Section 2.05 are in addition to payments made
or required to be made under any other subsection of this Section 2.05.



          Section 2.06 Fees. From and after the Effective Date and until the later of (i) the
Final Maturity Date and (ii) the date on which all Obligations are paid in full, the Borrower shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Agents a non-refundable loan management fee
(the “Loan Management Fee”) equal to (x) $15,000 each calendar year if at any time during
or prior to the start of such calendar year the aggregate amount of the Loans provided under this
Agreement is greater than or equal to $15,000,000 but less than $20,000,000 and (y) $20,000 each
calendar year if at any time during or prior to the start of such calendar year the aggregate
amount of the Loans provided under this Agreement is greater than or equal to $20,000,000.




          Section 2.07 Securitization. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Lenders and
their Affiliates may sell or securitize the Loans (a “Securitization”) through the pledge
of the Loans as collateral security for loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or through the
sale of the Loans or the issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans, which loans to the
Lenders or their Affiliates or direct or indirect interests will be rated by Moody’s, Standard &
Poor’s or one or more other rating agencies (the “Rating Agencies”). The Borrower shall


30









 







cooperate with the Lenders and their Affiliates to effect the Securitization including, without
limitation, by (a) amending this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and executing such
additional documents, as reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the Securitization,
provided that (i) any such amendment or additional documentation does not impose
material additional costs on the Borrower and (ii) any such amendment or additional documentation
does not materially adversely affect the rights, or materially increase the obligations, of the
Borrower under the Loan Documents or change or affect in a manner adverse to the Borrower the
financial terms of the Loans and (b) providing such information as may be reasonably requested by
the Lenders in connection with the rating of the Loans or the Securitization.




          Section 2.08 Taxes.




               (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be
made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
excluding taxes imposed on the net income of any Agent, any Lender (or any transferee or
assignee thereof, including a participation holder (any such entity, a “Transferee”)) by
the jurisdiction in which such Person is organized or has its principal lending office (all such
nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges withholdings and liabilities, collectively
or individually, “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or
in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Agent, any Lender (or any Transferee), (i) the sum
payable shall be increased by the amount (an “Additional Amount”) necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section 2.08) such Agent, such Lender (or such Transferee) shall receive an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such
deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.



               (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise
or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the
execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other
Loan Document (“Other Taxes”). The Borrower shall deliver to each Agent and each Lender
official receipts in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes payable hereunder promptly after payment
of such Taxes or Other Taxes.



               (c) The Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold each Agent and each Lender harmless
from and against Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, Taxes and Other Taxes
imposed on any amounts payable under this Section 2.08) paid by such Person, whether or not such
Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Such
indemnification shall be paid within 10 days from the date on which any such Person makes
written demand therefore specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Taxes or
Other Taxes.



               (d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the
United States (a “Non-U. S. Lender”) agrees that it shall, no later than the



31









 







Effective Date (or, in the case of a Lender which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 12.07 hereof after
the Effective Date, promptly after the date upon which such Lender becomes a party hereto) deliver
to the Agents one properly completed and duly executed copy of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, in each
case claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax and
payments of interest hereunder. In addition, in the case of a Non-U. S. Lender claiming exemption
from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, such
Non-U. S. Lender hereby represents to the Agents and the Borrower that such Non-U. S. Lender is not
a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder
(within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Borrower and is
not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section
864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code), and such Non-U. S. Lender agrees that it shall promptly
notify the Agents in the event any such representation is no longer accurate. Such forms shall be
delivered by each Non-U. S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or,
in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such
participation holder becomes a Transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.
S. Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a
“New Lending Office”). In addition, such Non-U. S. Lender shall deliver such forms within
20 days after receipt of a written request therefor from any Agent, the assigning Lender or the
Lender granting a participation, as applicable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 2.08, a Non-U. S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section
2.08(d) that such Non-U. S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.



               (e) The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U. S. Lender, or pay any
Additional Amounts to any Non-U. S. Lender, in respect of United States Federal withholding tax
pursuant to this Section 2.08 to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with
respect to United States Federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U .S. Lender became a
party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on the
date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a New
Lending Office, the date such Non-U. S. Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a
Loan; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the
indemnity payment or Additional Amounts any Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) through a New
Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) do not exceed the
indemnity payment or Additional Amounts that the Person making the assignment, participation or
transfer to such Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) making the designation of such New Lending
Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation,
transfer or designation, or (ii) the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts would not have
arisen but for a failure by such Non-U. S. Lender to comply with the provisions of clause (d)
above.



               (f) Any Agent or any Lender (or Transferee) claiming any indemnity payment or additional
payment amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with
legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in
writing by the Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the
making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such
indemnity payment or additional amount that may thereafter



32









 







accrue, would not require such Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) to disclose any information such Agent or such Lender (or Transferee)
deems confidential and would not, in the sole determination of such Agent or such Lender (or
Transferee), be otherwise disadvantageous to such Agent or such Lender (or Transferee).



               (g) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.08 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.



          Section 2.09 Increase in Term Loan Commitments.




               (a) Request for Increase. Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists or
would arise therefrom, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the
Lenders), the Borrower may, prior to September 13, 2009, request an increase in the Term Loan
Commitments by an amount not exceeding $45,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Commitment
Increase”); provided that any such request for a Commitment Increase shall be
in a minimum amount of $5,000,000. Following the delivery by the Borrower of the request, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower given not more than 30
Business Days after the date of receipt of the Offer Notice, either accept the Offer or reject the
Offer, provided that, the Lenders hall have no obligation to accept any request.



               (b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent
within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Term Loan Commitment and, if so,
whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Share of such requested
Commitment Increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have
declined to increase its Term Loan Commitment.



               (c) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Term Loan Commitments are increased in
accordance with this Section 2.09, the Administrative Agent shall determine the effective date (the
“Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such Commitment Increase. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of
such Commitment Increase and the Increase Effective Date and, on the Increase Effective Date, (i)
the Term Loan Commitments under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the
aggregate amount of such Commitment Increase, and (ii) Schedule 1.01(A) shall be deemed modified,
without further action, to reflect the revised Term Loan Commitments of the Lenders.



               (d) Conditions to Effectiveness of Commitment Increase. As a condition precedent to
such Commitment Increase: (i) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a
certificate of each Credit Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for
each Lender) signed by an Authorized Officer of such Credit Party (A)
certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Credit Party approving or consenting
to such Commitment Increase, and (B) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after
giving effect to such Commitment Increase, the representations and warranties contained in Article
VI and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the
Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically
refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects



33









 







as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.09, the representations and
warranties contained in subsections (g)(i) and (g)(ii) of Section 6.01 shall be deemed to refer to
the most recent statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a)(i) and (a)(ii), respectively, of
Section 7.01; (ii) the Borrower shall have paid such fees and other compensation to the
Agents and Lenders as they require; (iii) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders an opinion or opinions substantially similar to the opinions delivered on the
Effective Date from counsel to the Credit Parties reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and dated such date; (iv) the Borrower shall have delivered such other instruments, documents
and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably have requested including, without
limitation, an amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if required by the
Administrative Agent; and (v) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.



ARTICLE III




INTENTIONALLY OMITTED



ARTICLE IV



FEES, PAYMENTS AND OTHER COMPENSATION



          Section 4.01 Payments; Computations and Statements. The Borrower will make each
payment under this Agreement not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the day when due, in
lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, to the
Administrative Agent’s Account. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon
(New York City time) on any Business Day will be credited to the Loan Account on the next
succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be made by the Borrower without set-off, counterclaim,
deduction or other defense to the Agents and the Lenders. Except as provided in Section 2.02,
after receipt, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds
relating to the payment of principal ratably to the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata
Shares and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such
Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided that
the Administrative Agent will cause to be distributed all interest and fees received from or for
the account of the Borrower not less than once each month and in any event promptly after receipt
thereof. The Lenders and the Borrower hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to, and the
Administrative Agent may, from time to time, charge the Loan Account of the Borrower with any
amount due and payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document. Each of the Lenders and the
Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make such charges
whether or not any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or
whether any of the conditions precedent in Section 5.02 have been satisfied. Any amount charged to
the Loan Account of the Borrower shall be deemed an Obligation hereunder, which shall bear interest
at the rate applicable to Term Loans. The Lenders and the Borrower confirm that any charges which
the Administrative Agent may so make to the Loan Account of the Borrower as herein provided will be
made as an accommodation to the Borrower and solely at the Administrative Agent’s discretion,
provided that the Administrative Agent shall from time to time upon the request of the Collateral
Agent,


34









 







charge the Loan Account of the Borrower with any amount due and payable under any Loan
Document. Whenever any payment to be made under any such Loan Document shall be stated to be due
on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day
and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees,
as the case may be. All computations of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the
basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding
the last day) occurring in the period for which such fees are payable. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fees hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower,
promptly after the end of each calendar month, a summary statement (in the form from time to time
used by the Administrative Agent) of the opening and closing daily balances in the Loan Account of
the Borrower during such month, the amounts and dates of all Loans made to the Borrower during such
month, the amounts and dates of all payments on account of the Loans to the Borrower during such
month and the Loans to which such payments were
 applied, the amount of interest accrued on the
Loans to the Borrower during such month, and the amount and nature of any charges to the Loan
Account made during such month on account of fees, commissions, expenses and other Obligations.
All entries on any such statement shall be presumed to be correct and, thirty (30) days after the
same is sent, shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error.




          Section 4.02 Sharing of Payments, Etc. Except as provided in Section 2.02 hereof, if
any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any
right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Obligation in excess of its ratable share of
payments on account of similar obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith
purchase from the other Lenders such participations in such similar obligations held by them as
shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of
them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is
thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded
and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such
recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion
of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from
the purchasing Lender of any interest or other amount paid by the purchasing Lender in respect of
the total amount so recovered). The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation
from another Lender pursuant to this Section 4.02 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
exercise all of its rights (including the Lender’s right of set-off) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of
such participation.




          Section 4.03 Apportionment of Payments. Subject to Section 2.02 hereof:all
payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans, all payments of fees and all
other payments in respect of any other Obligations, shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent
among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata
Shares or otherwise as provided herein or, in respect of payments not made on account of Loans, as
designated by the Person making payment when the payment is made.




               (b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders



35









 







shall, apply all proceeds of the Collateral (including all Collections other than Salvage Collections), subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, (i) first, to pay the Servicer an amount equal to the accrued
and unpaid Servicing Fees then due and payable in accordance with the Transaction Documents until
paid in full; (ii) second, to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees, expense
reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due and payable to the Agents until paid in
full; (iii) third, to pay the Insurance Collateral Agent an amount equal to any fees,
expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due and payable to the Insurance
Collateral Agent in accordance with the Transaction Documents until paid in full;
(iv) fourth, to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements,
indemnities and other amounts then due and payable to the Lenders until paid in full; (v)
fifth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Collateral Agent Advances
until paid in full; (vi) sixth, to pay principal of the Collateral Agent Advances until
paid in full, (vii) seventh, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans
until paid in full, (viii) eighth, to pay principal of the Loans until paid in full, (ix)
ninth, to the payment of all other Obligations then due and payable, and (x) tenth,
any remaining Collections on such date shall be paid to the Borrower, for its own account.



               (c) In each instance, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Section
4.03(b) shall not be deemed to apply to any payment by the Borrower specified by the Borrower to
the Administrative Agent to be for the payment of the Obligations then due and payable under any
provision of this Agreement or the prepayment of all or part of the principal of the Term Loan in
accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.05.



               (d) For purposes of Section 4.03(b), “paid in full” means payment in cash of all amounts owing
under the Loan Documents and the Transaction Documents according to the terms thereof, including
loan fees, servicing fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including interest accrued
after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and

are necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business in good working order and condition,

forfeiture thereof or thereunder.



               (h) Maintenance of Insurance. Maintain insurance with responsible and reputable
insurance companies or associations (including, without limitation, comprehensive general

businesses similarly situated and in any event in amount, adequacy and scope reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. All policies covering the Collateral are to be made payable
to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, as its interests may appear,
in case of loss, under a standard non-contributory “lender” or “secured party” clause and are to

interest in the Collateral and to any payments to be made under such policies. All certificates of

cancellation. If the Borrower fails to maintain such insurance, the Collateral Agent may arrange
for such insurance, but at the Borrower’s expense and without any responsibility on the Collateral
Agent’s part for obtaining the insurance, the solvency of the insurance companies, the adequacy of
the coverage, or the collection of claims. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the sole right, in the name of the Lenders, the
Borrower, to file claims under any insurance policies, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for
any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts,
releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect the
collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies.



               (i) Obtaining of Permits, Etc. Obtain, maintain and preserve and take all necessary
action to timely renew, all permits, licenses, authorizations, approvals, entitlements and
accreditations which are necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business.

Borrower shall have either (i) paid to the applicable Insurance Provider or (ii) placed into escrow
under the Trust Agreement pursuant to escrow arrangements satisfactory to the Agents, in each case,
insurance premium payments in an amount sufficient to result in the applicable Life Insurance
Policy remaining continuously in effect through the sixtieth (60th) day
after the Insurance Premium Loan Maturity Date; provided, however, that this
covenant shall be deemed to be satisfied if the aggregate amount of premium paid to the applicable
Insurance



56









 




Provider with respect to the related Life Insurance Policy prior to the lapse of such
Life Insurance Policy equals the “Total Life Insurance Premium” set forth in the applicable
Coverage Certificate.

documents in the Borrower’s name and to file such agreements, instruments or other documents in any
appropriate filing office, (ii) authorizes each Agent to file any financing statement required
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and any continuation statement or amendment with
respect thereto, in any appropriate filing office without the signature of the Borrower, and (iii)
ratifies the filing of any financing statement, and any continuation statement or amendment with
respect thereto, filed without the signature of the Borrower prior to the date hereof.



               (l) Change in Collateral; Collateral Records. (i) Give the Collateral Agent not less
than 30 days’ prior written notice of any change in the location of any Collateral, other than to
locations set forth on Schedule 6.01(bb) and with respect to which the Collateral Agent has filed
financing statements and otherwise fully perfected its Liens thereon, (ii) advise the Collateral
Agent promptly, in sufficient detail, of any material adverse change relating to the type, quantity
or quality of the Collateral or the Lien granted thereon and (iii) execute and deliver to the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders from time to time, solely for the
Collateral Agent’s convenience in maintaining a record of Collateral, such written statements and
schedules as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require, designating, identifying or describing
the Collateral.



               (m) Subordination. Cause all Indebtedness and other obligations now or hereafter owed

provision that such Affiliates or third parties, in their respective capacities as counterparties
under such agreements, will not seek to initiate bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings in respect of
the Borrower. The Borrower shall include the provision described in the preceding sentence (or a
substantially similar provision) in all agreements with third parties, to the extent practicable
without interfering with the conduct of the business affairs of the Borrower, and take into
consideration the willingness of third parties to enter into agreements containing such provision.

Value Insurer and/or the Premium Finance Borrowers. Make any change in its instructions to the

ARTICLE VIII




MANAGEMENT, COLLECTION AND STATUS OF COLLATERAL



          Section 8.01 Collections; Management of Collateral. (a) The Borrower shall (i)
establish and maintain cash management services of a type and on terms reasonably satisfactory to
the Agents at the bank set forth on Schedule 8.01, the “Cash Management Bank”, and shall
take such reasonable steps to enforce, collect and receive all amounts owing on the Insurance
Premium Loans of the Borrower, and (ii) deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event
no later than the next Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all proceeds in respect of
any Collateral and all Collections (of a nature susceptible to a deposit in a bank account) and
other amounts received by the Borrower (including payments made by any Premium Finance Borrower
directly to the Borrower) into the Collection Account.




               (b) On or prior to the Effective Date, the Borrower shall, with respect to the Collection
Account, deliver to the Collateral Agent a Cash Management Agreement with respect to the Collection
Account.



               (c) All amounts received in the Collection Account shall at the Administrative Agent’s
direction be wired each Business Day into the Administrative Agent’s Account to be applied pursuant
to Section 2.05(d) or Section 4.03(b), as applicable.



               (d) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers
may amend Schedule 8.01 to add or replace the Cash Management Bank or the Collection Account;
provided, however, that (i) such prospective Cash Management Bank shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have consented in
writing in advance to the opening of such Collection Account with the prospective Cash Management
Bank, and (ii) prior to the time of the opening of such Collection Account, the Borrower and such
prospective Cash Management Bank shall have executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent a Cash
Management Agreement. The Borrower shall close its Collection Account (and establish replacement
cash management accounts in accordance with the foregoing sentence) promptly and in any event
within 30 days of notice from the Collateral Agent that the creditworthiness of any Cash Management
Bank is no longer acceptable in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, or that the operating
performance, funds transfer, or availability procedures or performance of such Cash Management Bank
with respect to the Collection Account or the Collateral Agent’s liability under any Cash
Management Agreement with such Cash Management Bank is no longer acceptable in the Collateral
Agent’s reasonable judgment.



               (e) The Collection Account shall be a cash collateral account, with all cash, checks and
similar items of payment in such accounts securing payment of the Obligations, and in which the
Borrower is hereby deemed to have granted a Lien to Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents
and the Lenders. All checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences of
Indebtedness received directly by the Borrower from any of the Premium Finance Borrowers or any
other Person, as proceeds from the Insurance Premium Loans or as



66









 




proceeds of any other Collateral shall be held by the Borrower in trust for the Agents and the
Lenders and if of a nature susceptible to a deposit in a bank account, upon receipt be deposited by
the Borrower in original form and no later than the next Business Day after receipt thereof into
the Collection Account; provided, however, all Collections received directly by the
Borrower shall be held by the Borrower in trust for the Agents and the Lenders and upon receipt be
deposited by the Borrower in original form and no later than the next Business Day after receipt
thereof into the Administrative Agent’s Account. The Borrower shall not commingle such collections
with the proceeds of any assets not included in the Collateral. No checks, drafts or other
instrument received by the Administrative Agent shall constitute final payment to the
Administrative Agent unless and until such instruments have actually been collected.




               (f) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral
Agent may send a notice of assignment and/or notice of the Lenders’ security interest to any and
all Insurance Premium Borrowers, the Collateral Value Insurer, the Contingent Collateral Value
Insurer or third parties holding or otherwise concerned with any of the Collateral, and thereafter
the Collateral Agent or its designee shall have the sole right to collect the Insurance Premium
Loans and/or take possession of the Collateral and the books and records relating thereto. The
Borrower shall not, without prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, grant any extension of
time of payment of any Insurance Premium Loan or payments under the Collateral Value Policy or
Contingent Collateral Value Policy, compromise or settle any Insurance Premium Loan for less than
the full amount thereof, release, in whole or in part, any Person or property liable for the
payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon.



               (g) The Borrower hereby appoints each Agent or its designee on behalf of such Agent as the
Borrower’s attorney-in-fact with power exercisable during the continuance of an Event of Default to
endorse the Borrower’s name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other
evidences of payment relating to the Insurance Premium Loans and the Collateral Value Policy and
the Contingent Collateral Value Policy, to sign the Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of
lading relating to any of the Insurance Premium Loans, the Collateral Value Policy and the
Contingent Collateral Value Policy, drafts against Insurance Premium Borrowers with respect to
Insurance Premium Loans and the Collateral Value Policy and the Contingent Collateral Value Policy,
assignments and verifications of the Insurance Premium Loans, the Collateral Value Policy and the
Contingent Collateral Value Policy and notices to Insurance Premium Borrowers with respect to
Insurance Premium Loans and the Collateral Value Insurer or Contingent Collateral Value Insurer
with respect to the Collateral Value Policy or the Contingent Collateral Value Policy, as
applicable, to send verification of Insurance Premium Loans, the Collateral Value Policy and the
Contingent Collateral Value Policy, and to notify the Postal Service authorities to change the
address for delivery of mail addressed to the Borrower to such address as such Agent or its
designee may designate and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement.
All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or
designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission (other than acts of omission or
commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction), or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law; this
power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable until all of the Loans and other Obligations
under the Loan Documents are paid in full and all of the Loan Documents are terminated.



67









 





               (h) Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute any Agent as agent of the
Borrower for any purpose whatsoever, and the Agents shall not be responsible or liable for any
shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever the same
may be located and regardless of the cause thereof (other than from acts of omission or commission
constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction). The Agents shall not, under any circumstance or in any event whatsoever,
have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement,
collection or payment of any of the Insurance Premium Loans or any instrument received in payment
thereof or for any damage resulting therefrom (other than acts of omission or commission
constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction). The Agents, by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, do not
assume any of the obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to any Agent and shall not
be responsible in any way for the performance by the Borrower of any of the terms and conditions
thereof.



               (i) If any Insurance Premium Loan includes a charge for any tax payable to any Governmental
Authority, each Agent is hereby authorized (but in no event obligated) in its discretion to pay the
amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the Borrower’s account and to charge the Borrower
therefor. The Borrower shall notify the Agents if any Insurance Premium Loan includes any taxes
due to any such Governmental Authority and, in the absence of such notice, the Agents shall have
the right to retain the full proceeds of such Insurance Premium Loan and shall not be liable for
any taxes that may be due by reason of the sale and delivery creating such Insurance Premium Loan.



               (j) Notwithstanding any other terms set forth in the Loan Documents, the rights and remedies
of the Agents and the Lenders herein provided, and the obligations of the Borrower set forth
herein, are cumulative of, may be exercised singly or concurrently with, and are not exclusive of,
any other rights, remedies or obligations set forth in any other Loan Document or as provided by
law.



          Section 8.02 Collateral Custodian. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Default or Event of Default, the Collateral Agent or its designee may at any time and from time
to time employ and maintain on the premises of the Borrower a custodian selected by the Collateral
Agent or its designee who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect the Agents’
and the Lenders’ interests. The Borrower hereby agrees to cooperate with any such custodian and to
do whatever the Collateral Agent or its designee may reasonably request to preserve the Collateral.
All costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent or its designee by reason of the
employment of the custodian shall be the responsibility of the Borrower and charged to the Loan
Account.

73









 







the Loans and the Loan Documents and to exercise such other powers delegated to such Agent by
the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the power to give or
to refuse to give notices, waivers, consents, approvals and instructions and the power to make or
to refuse to make determinations and calculations) together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto to carry out the purposes hereof and thereof. As to any matters not expressly
provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation,
enforcement or collection of the Loans), the Agents shall not be required to exercise any
discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be

or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit
or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into their possession before the initial
Loan hereunder or at any time or times thereafter, provided that, upon the reasonable request of a
Lender, each Agent shall provide to such Lender any documents or reports delivered to such Agent by
the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If any Agent
seeks the consent or approval of the Required Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking any
action hereunder, such Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender. Each Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender any time that the Required Lenders have instructed such Agent to act or refrain
from acting pursuant hereto.

jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents (i) may treat the payee
of any Loan as the owner thereof until the Collateral Agent receives written notice of the
assignment or transfer thereof, pursuant to Section 12.07 hereof, signed by such payee and in form
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including, without

taken in good faith by any of them in accordance with the advice of such counsel or experts; (iii)

conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Person, the existence
or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, or to inspect the Collateral or other
property (including, without limitation, the books and records) of any Person; (v) shall not be
responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vi) shall not be deemed to have made any
representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectibility of the Collateral, the
existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate
prepared by the Borrower in connection therewith, nor shall the Agents be responsible or liable to
the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. The Agents shall
not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made in good faith pursuant to
Section 4.03, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been
made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to
recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount which they are determined to be
entitled. The Agents may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any
actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents the
Agents are permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly
requested, the Agents shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold
any approval under any of the Loan Documents until they shall have received such instructions from
the Required Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action
whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required
Lenders.




          Section 10.04 Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written
notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by
it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper
Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.




          Section 10.05 Indemnification. To the extent that any Agent is not reimbursed and
indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify such Agent from and against
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses, advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share,
including, without limitation, advances and disbursements made pursuant to Section 10.08;
provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses,
advances or disbursements for which there has been a final judicial determination that such
liability resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of
the Lenders under this Section 10.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and the
termination of this Agreement.






75









 








          Section 10.06 Agents Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Total
Commitment hereunder and the Loans made by it, each Agent shall have and may exercise the same
rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the
extent set forth herein for any other Lender or maker of a Loan. The terms “Lenders” or “Required
Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each
Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Required Lenders. Each Agent and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking,
trust or other business with the Borrower as if it were not acting as an Agent pursuant hereto
without any duty to account to the other Lenders.




          Section 10.07 Successor Agent. (a) (i) Each Agent may resign from the performance of
all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving at
least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower and each Lender, and (ii) on or
after the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, the Required Funded Lenders may remove each Agent
without cause at any time by giving at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to such
Agent, the Borrower and each other Lender. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the
acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as
otherwise provided below.




               (b) Upon any such notice of resignation or removal, the Required Lenders (or the Required
Funded Lenders in the case of a removal under clause (ii) of paragraph (a) of this Section 10.07)
shall appoint a successor Agent. 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 Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
After any Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as an Agent, the provisions of this Article X
shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an
Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.



               (c) If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said ten (10) Business Day
period, the retiring Agent, with the consent of the other Agent shall then appoint a successor
Agent who shall serve as an Agent until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders, with the
consent of the other Agent, appoint a successor Agent as provided above.



          Section 10.08 Collateral Matters.




               (a) The Collateral Agent may from time to time on or after the Term Loan Commitment
Termination Date make such disbursements and advances (“Collateral Agent Advances”) which
the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve, protect,
prepare for sale or lease or dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the
likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by the Borrower of the Loans and other Obligations
or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 12.04. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall be permitted at anytime to make Collateral Agent
Advances to pay insurance premiums due under the Life Insurance Policies. The Collateral Agent
Advances shall be repayable on demand and be secured by the Collateral. The Collateral Agent
Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder which may be



76









 




charged to the Loan Account in accordance with Section 4.01. The Collateral Agent shall
notify each Lender and the Borrower in writing of each such Collateral Agent Advance, which notice
shall include a description of the purpose of such Collateral Agent Advance. Without limitation to
its obligations pursuant to Section 10.05, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to the
Collateral Agent, upon the Collateral Agent’s demand, in Dollars in immediately available funds,
the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Collateral Agent Advance. If such
funds are not made available to the Collateral Agent by such Lender, the Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each
day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Collateral Agent,
at the Federal Funds Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the interest rate per annum
equal to 20%.




               (b) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its
discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral upon
termination of the Total Commitment and payment and satisfaction of all Loans, Reimbursement
Obligations, Letter of Credit Obligations, and all other Obligations in accordance with the terms
hereof; or constituting property being sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s
business or otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
or constituting property in which the Borrower owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted
or at any time thereafter; or if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Lenders. Upon
request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral
Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section
10.08(b).



               (c) Without in any manner limiting the Collateral Agent’s authority to act without any
specific or further authorization or consent by the Lenders (as set forth in Section 10.08(b)),
each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Collateral Agent, the authority to
release Collateral conferred upon the Collateral Agent under Section 10.08(b). Upon receipt by the
Collateral Agent of confirmation from the Lenders of its authority to release any particular item
or types of Collateral, and upon prior written request by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall
(and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary
to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents
and the Lenders upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral
Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s
opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligations or entail any
consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such
release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Lien upon (or
obligations of the Borrower in respect of) all interests in the Collateral retained by the
Borrower.



               (d) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender to assure that the
Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been
encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document has been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or
enforced or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular
manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the
rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent



77









 




in this Section 10.08 or in any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that in
respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may
act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own
interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty
or liability whatsoever to any other Lender, except as otherwise provided herein.




          Section 10.09 Agency for Perfection. Each Agent and each Lender hereby appoints each
other Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security
interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the
Uniform Commercial Code, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security
interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest of
another secured party) and each Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that it holds possession
of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders as
secured party. Should the Administrative Agent or any Lender obtain possession or control of any
such Collateral, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof,
and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the
Collateral Agent or in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. In addition, the
Collateral Agent shall also have the power and authority hereunder to appoint such other sub-agents
as may be necessary or required under applicable state law or otherwise to perform its duties and
enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral and under the Loan Documents. The Borrower by
its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing.




          Section 10.10 No Reliance on any Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or
assignees, may rely on any Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or
assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or
pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained
in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other
Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in
connection with the Borrower, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the
transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2) any
recordkeeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other procedures
required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws. Each Lender, Affiliate, participant or
assignee subject to Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act will perform the measures necessary to
satisfy its own responsibilities under the CIP Regulations.

SERVICER TERMINATION EVENTS



          Section 11.01 Servicer Termination Event. If a Servicer Termination Event has
occurred and is continuing, the Agents, by notice in writing to the Servicer and the Borrower, may
terminate the Servicing Agreement pursuant to the terms forth in the Servicing Agreement. On and
after the effective time of any notice of termination, a replacement servicer approved in





78









 







writing by the Agents shall be the successor Servicer, as more fully set forth in a
replacement servicing agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Agents.

          Section 12.02 Amendments, Etc (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom,
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required

or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given, provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall (i) increase
the Commitment of any Lender, reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans payable to any
Lender, reduce the amount of any fee payable for the account of any Lender, or postpone or extend
any scheduled date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest or fees on, the Loans payable

percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans that is
required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder without the written consent of
each Lender, (iv) amend the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share” without the
written consent of each Lender, (v) release all or a substantial portion of the Collateral (except

“Contingent Collateral Value Insurer”, “Coverage Certificate”, “Covered Loan Amount” or “Eligible

the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by an Agent,
affect the rights or duties of such Agent (but not in its capacity as a Lender) under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto hereby
agree that any amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to the definitions of
“Collateral Value Insurer”, “Collateral Value Policy”, “Collections”, “Coverage Certificate”,
“Person” and “Salvage Collections” in Section 1.01, Section 2.05(e), Section 12.19 and the last
three sentences in this Section 12.02(a) shall require the written consent of the Collateral Value

(after the occurrence of a Credit Event) to be effective. In all events, copies of any amendments
to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Transaction Document shall be promptly provided

80









 







beneficiary solely with respect to Section 2.05(e), Section 12.19 and the last three sentences
in Section 12.02(a) of this Agreement




          (b) If any action to be taken by the Lenders hereunder requires the unanimous consent,
authorization, or agreement of all of the Lenders, and a Lender other than the Collateral Agent and
the Administrative Agent (the “Holdout Lender”) fails to give its consent, authorization,
or agreement, then the Collateral Agent, upon at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice to
the Holdout Lender, may permanently replace the Holdout Lender with one or more substitute Lenders
(each, a “Replacement Lender”), and the Holdout Lender shall have no right to refuse to be
replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender shall specify an effective date for
such replacement, which date shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is
given. Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender and each Replacement
Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Holdout Lender
being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations without any premium or penalty of any kind
whatsoever. If the Holdout Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment
and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be deemed
to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Holdout
Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 12.07(b). Until such time as the
Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other
rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the
Holdout Lender shall remain obligated to make its Pro Rata Share of Loans.




          Section 12.03 No Waiver; Remedies, Etc. No failure on the part of any Agent or any
Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right
under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders provided herein and in the other Loan
Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies
provided by law. The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under any Loan Document against any
party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Agents and the Lenders to
exercise any of their rights under any other Loan Document against such party or against any other
Person.




          Section 12.04 Expenses; Taxes; Attorneys’ Fees. The Borrower will pay on demand, all
costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of each Agent (and, in the case of clauses (b) through
(m) below, each Lender), regardless of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, including, without limitation, reasonable fees, costs, client charges and expenses of
counsel for each Agent (and, in the case of clauses (b) through (m) below, each Lender),
accounting, due diligence, periodic field audits, physical counts, valuations, investigations,
searches and filings, monitoring of assets, appraisals of Collateral and title searches,

Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the preparation of any
additional Loan Documents pursuant to Section 7.01(b) or the review of any of the agreements,
instruments and documents referred to in Section 7.01(f)), (b) any requested amendments, waivers or
consents to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents





81











 




whether or not such documents become effective or are given, (c) the preservation and
protection of the Agents’ or any of the Lenders’ rights under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, (d) the defense of any claim or action asserted or brought against any Agent or any
Lender by any Person that arises from or relates to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the
Agents’ or the Lenders’ claims against the Borrower, or any and all matters in connection
therewith, (e) the commencement or defense of, or intervention in, any court proceeding arising
from or related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (f) the filing of any petition,
complaint, answer, motion or other pleading by any Agent or any Lender, or the taking of any action
in respect of the Collateral or other security, in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, (g) the protection, collection, lease, sale, taking possession of or liquidation of, any
Collateral or other security in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (h) any
attempt to enforce any Lien or security interest in any Collateral or other security in connection
with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (i) any attempt to collect from the Borrower, or
(i) the receipt by any Agent or any Lender of any advice from professionals with respect to any of
the foregoing. Without limitation of the foregoing or any other provision of any Loan Document:
(x) the Borrower agrees to pay all stamp, document, transfer, recording or filing taxes or fees and
similar impositions now or hereafter determined by any Agent or any Lender to be payable in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the Borrower agrees to save each
Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all present or future claims, liabilities
or losses with respect to or resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any such taxes,
fees or impositions, (y) the Borrower agrees to pay all broker fees that may become due in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and
(z) if the Borrower fails to perform any covenant or agreement contained herein or in any other
Loan Document, any Agent may itself perform or cause performance of such covenant or agreement, and
the expenses of such Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be reimbursed on demand by the
Borrower.




          Section 12.05 Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, any Agent or any Lender may, and is hereby authorized to, at any time and from
time to time, without notice to the Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by the
Borrower) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness
at any time owing by such Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower
against any and all obligations of the Borrower either now or hereafter existing under any Loan
Document, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand
hereunder or thereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Agent
and each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower promptly after any such set-off and application made
by such Agent or such Lender provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under this
Section 12.05 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off)
which the Agents and the Lenders may have under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents of law
or otherwise.



          Section 12.06 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions
hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.



82









 





          Section 12.07 Assignments and Participations.



               (a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the Borrower and each Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns;
provided, however, that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender and
any such assignment without the Lenders’ prior written consent shall be null and void.



               (b) Each Lender may with the written consent of the Collateral Agent, assign to one or more
other lenders or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
with respect to all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment and any Term Loan made by it and;
provided, however, that (i) such assignment is in an amount which is at least
$1,000,000 (or the remainder of such Lender’s Commitment), (ii) that the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together
with any promissory note subject to such assignment. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance,
from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance and recordation on
the Register, (A) the assignee thereunder shall become a “Lender” hereunder and, in addition to the
rights and obligations hereunder held by it immediately prior to such effective date, have the
rights and obligations hereunder that have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its
rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment
and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).



               (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender and the
assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:
(i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties
or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) the assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of
the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that
it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other
documents and information it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to
enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without
reliance upon the assigning Lender, any Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) such
assignee appoints and authorizes the Agents to take such action as agents on its behalf and to
exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the
Agents by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably



83









 




incidental
hereto and thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their
terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are
required to be performed by it as a Lender.




               (d) The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of
the Borrower, maintain, or cause to be maintained at the Payment Office, a copy of each Assignment
and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the “Register”) for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and the principal
amount of the Loans (and stated interest thereon) (the “Registered Loans”). The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the
Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.



               (e) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a completed Assignment and Acceptance, the
Administrative Agent shall accept such assignment and record the information contained therein in
the Register.



               (f) A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned
or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and
each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or sale of all or part of such
Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by
registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the
registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written
instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon,
at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in
the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s).
Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note,
if any, evidencing the same), the Agents shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan
(and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered on the Register as the owner
thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.



               (g) In the event that any Lender sells participations in a Registered Loan, such Lender shall,
acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of the Borrower, maintain, or cause to
be maintained, a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans
held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Registered
Loan that is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). A Registered
Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part
only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note
shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered note,
if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the
Participant Register. The Participant Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.



84









 





               (h) Any Non-U. S. Lender who purchases or is assigned or participates in any portion of such
Registered Loan shall comply with Section 2.08(d).



               (i) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or
a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Loans made by it);
provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation,
its Commitments hereunder) and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, and the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (iii) a participant shall not be entitled to require
such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except (A) action directly effecting an
extension of the maturity dates or decrease in the principal amount of the Loans, (B) action
directly effecting an extension of the due dates or a decrease in the rate of interest payable on
the Loans or the fees payable under this Agreement, or (C) actions directly effecting a release of
all or a substantial portion of the Collateral or the Borrower (except as set forth in Section
10.08 of this Agreement or any other Loan Document). The Borrower agrees that each participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.08 and Section 4.04 of this Agreement with respect
to its participation in any portion of the Commitments and the Loans as if it was a Lender.



          Section 12.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or electronic
mail shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this
Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or
electronic mail also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the
failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability,
and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document
mutatis mutandis.



          Section 12.09 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS
EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT)
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE
TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.



          Section 12.10 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS AND VENUE. ANY LEGAL ACTION
OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE
COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK OR OF THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND
DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY,
GENERALLY



85









 




AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. THE BORROWER HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY APPOINTS THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AS ITS AGENT FOR SERVICE OF
PROCESS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE
OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE
MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE BORROWER AT ITS
ADDRESS FOR NOTICES AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.01 AND TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE TEN (10) DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. THE BORROWER AGREES THAT
A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER
JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL
AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED
BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER IN ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE JURISDICTION OR LAYING OF
VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY
SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE BORROWER HAS OR
HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS
(WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR
OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH
IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.




          Section 12.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. THE BORROWER, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER
HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING ANY
RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT,
INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH IN THE FUTURE MAY BE DELIVERED IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDINGS OR COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A
COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. THE BORROWER CERTIFIES THAT NO OFFICER, REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT ANY AGENT OR ANY
LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVERS. THE BORROWER HEREBY
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS
ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.



86









 





          Section 12.12 Consent by the Agents and Lenders. Except as otherwise expressly set
forth herein to the contrary or in any other Loan Document, if the consent, approval, satisfaction,
determination, judgment, acceptance or similar action (an “Action”) of any Agent or any
Lender shall be permitted or required pursuant to any provision hereof or any provision of any
other agreement to which the Borrower is a party and to which any Agent or any Lender has succeeded
thereto, such Action shall be required to be in writing and may be withheld or denied by such Agent
or such Lender, in its sole discretion, with or without any reason, and without being subject to
question or challenge on the grounds that such Action was not taken in good faith.



          Section 12.13 No Party Deemed Drafter. Each of the parties hereto agrees that no
party hereto shall be deemed to be the drafter of this Agreement.



          Section 12.14 Reinstatement; Certain Payments. If any claim is ever made upon any
Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by such Agent or
such Lender in payment or on account of any of the Obligations, such Agent or such Lender shall
give prompt notice of such claim to each other Agent and Lender and the Borrower, and if such Agent
or such Lender repays all or part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of
any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Agent or such Lender or any of its
property, or (ii) any good faith settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such Agent
or such Lender with any such claimant, then and in such event the Borrower agrees that (A) any such
judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the
cancellation of any Indebtedness hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or the termination of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (B) it shall be and remain liable to such Agent or
such Lender hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount
had never originally been received by such Agent or such Lender.



          Section 12.15 Indemnification.



               (a) General Indemnity. In addition to the Borrower’s other Obligations under this
Agreement, the Borrower agrees to, jointly and severally, defend, protect, indemnify and hold
harmless each Agent, each Lender and all of their respective officers, directors, employees,
attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against
any and all losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred
by such Indemnitees, whether prior to or from and after the Effective Date, whether direct,
indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to or in connection with any
of the following: (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution or performance or enforcement of
this Agreement, any other Loan Document or of any other document executed in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any Agent’s or any Lender’s furnishing of funds
to the Borrower for the account of the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
including, without limitation, the management of any such Loans, (iii) any matter relating to the
financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or by any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto



87









 




(collectively,
the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have
any obligation to any Indemnitee under this subsection (a) for any Indemnified Matter caused by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction.




               (b) The indemnification for all of the foregoing losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses of
the Indemnitees are chargeable against the Loan Account. To the extent that the undertaking to
indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 12.15 may be unenforceable because it is
violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall, jointly and severally, contribute the
maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and
satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. The indemnities set forth in
this Section 12.15 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and discharge of any Liens
granted under the Loan Documents.



          Section 12.16 Records. The unpaid principal of and interest on the Loans, the
interest rate or rates applicable to such unpaid principal and interest, the duration of such
applicability, the Commitments shall at all times be ascertained from the records of the Agents,
which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.



          Section 12.17 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Borrower, each Agent and each Lender and when the conditions precedent
set forth in Section 5.01 hereof have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Agents, and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each Agent and each
Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the
right to assign their rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of
each Agent and each Lender, and any assignment by any Lender shall be governed by Section 12.07
hereof.



          Section 12.18 Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Agent and
each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the
transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document would be usurious as to any Agent or
any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the
State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Agent
or such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any
agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Obligations, it is agreed as
follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to
any Agent or any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Agent
or such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or agreements or otherwise in
connection with the Obligations shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by
such applicable law, any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be
credited by such Agent or such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent
that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full,
refunded by such Agent or such
Lender, as applicable, to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the
Obligations is accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or
in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes
interest



88









 




under law applicable to any Agent or any Lender may never include more than the maximum
amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement
or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, as of the
date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Agent
or such Lender, as applicable, on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that
the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded
by such Agent or such Lender to the Borrower). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Agent or
any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent
permitted by law applicable to such Agent or such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and
spread throughout the full term of the Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of
interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such
applicable law. If at any time and from time to time (x) the amount of interest payable to any
Agent or any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such
Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Section 12.18 and (y) in respect of any subsequent interest
computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Agent or such Lender would be
less than the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender computed at the Highest
Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such
Agent or such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be
computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender until the total amount
of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which
would have been payable to such Agent or such Lender if the total amount of interest had been
computed without giving effect to this Section 12.18.




          For purposes of this Section 12.18, the term “applicable law” shall mean that law in effect
from time to time and applicable to the loan transaction between the Borrower, on the one hand, and
the Agents and the Lenders, on the other, that lawfully permits the charging and collection of the
highest permissible, lawful non-usurious rate of interest on such loan transaction and this
Agreement, including laws of the State of New York and, to the extent controlling, laws of the
United States of America.



          The right to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations does not include the right to
accelerate any interest that has not accrued as of the date of acceleration.



          Section 12.19 Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender agrees (on behalf of itself
and each of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives) to use reasonable
precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling
confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound practices of
comparable commercial finance companies, any non-public information supplied to it by the Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which is identified in writing by the
Borrower as being confidential at the time the same is delivered to such Person (and which at the
time is not, and does not thereafter become, publicly available or available to such Person from
another source not known to be subject to a confidentiality obligation to such Person not to
disclose such information), provided that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure
of any such information (i) to the extent required by any Requirement of Law or judicial
process or as otherwise requested by any Governmental Authority, (ii) to counsel for any Agent or
any Lender, (iii) to examiners, auditors, accountants or Securitization parties; provided,
that the



89









 




Agents and the Lenders shall not be entitled to disclose the identity of the Collateral
Value Insurer to the Rating Agencies or, except as provided below, provide a copy of the Collateral
Value Policy to the Rating Agencies, in each case, without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Value Insurer; provided, further, that the Agents and the Lenders shall
be permitted to disclose a copy of the Collateral Value Policy to the Rating Agencies so long as
the identity of the Collateral Value Insurer is redacted, (iv) in connection with any litigation to
which any Agent or any Lender is a party or (v) to any assignee or participant (or prospective
assignee or participant) so long as such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or
participant) first agrees, in writing, to be bound by confidentiality provisions similar in
substance to this Section 12.19.




          Section 12.20 Public Disclosure. The Borrower agrees that neither it nor any of its
Affiliates will now or in the future issue any press release or other public disclosure using the
name of an Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates or referring to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of such Agent or such Lender, except
to the extent that the Borrower or such Affiliate is required to do so under applicable law (in
which event, the Borrower or such Affiliate will consult with such Agent or such Lender before
issuing such press release or other public disclosure). The Borrower hereby authorizes each Agent
and each Lender, after consultation with the Borrower, to advertise the closing of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and to make appropriate announcements of the financial arrangements
entered into among the parties hereto, as such Agent or such Lender shall deem appropriate,
including, without limitation, announcements commonly known as tombstones, in such trade
publications, business journals, newspapers of general circulation and to such selected parties as
such Agent or such Lender shall deem appropriate.



          Section 12.21 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents,
reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before
the date hereof.



          Section 12.22 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the
USA PATRIOT Act (Title 111 of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (as amended, the
“USA PATRIOT Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA
PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the entities
composing the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each such entity and
other information that will allow such Lender to identify the entities composing the Borrower in
accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. The Borrower agrees to take such action and execute,
acknowledge and deliver at its sole cost and expense, such instruments and documents as any Lender
may reasonably require from time to time in order to enable such Lender to comply with the USA
PATRIOT Act.

otherwise transfer or dispose of any of the Collateral.



                    (ii) Except to the extent expressly permitted by Section 7.02(a) of the Financing Agreement,

free from any claim of abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products

or dedicated to the public, or of any final materially adverse determination (including the
institution of, or any such determination in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any court or similar office of any country)
regarding the Grantor’s ownership of any Intellectual Property, its right to register the same, or
its right to keep and maintain the same.



                    (iii) In the event that the Grantor (i) files an application or registration for any
Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright

licensee or designee or (ii) obtains rights to or develop any new Intellectual Property or any
reissue, division, continuation, renewal, extension or continuation-in-part of any existing

proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or
any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any other country or

the conduct of the Grantor’s business as conducted or proposed to be conducted, including timely
filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment
of maintenance fees, and, if consistent with good business judgment, to initiate opposition,
interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties.



                    (v) In the event that the Grantor has reason to believe that any Collateral consisting of

misappropriated or diluted by a third party, the Grantor shall if consistent with good business
judgment, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all

or otherwise permit any Intellectual Property to become invalid and (ii) the Grantor shall use

held by it. Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, the Grantor shall not make
or maintain any Deposit Account, Commodity Account or Securities Account except for the accounts

Accounts for which the Collateral Agent is the depositary.




               (i) Control. The Grantor hereby agrees to take any or all action that may be
necessary or desirable or that the Collateral Agent may request in order for the Collateral Agent

-14-









 





               (k) Partnership and Limited Liability Company Interest. Each interest in any limited
liability company or partnership controlled by the Grantor and pledged hereunder shall be (i)
represented by a certificate, (ii) deemed a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC
and (iii) shall be governed by Article 8 of the UCC.



          SECTION 7. Voting Rights, Dividends, Etc. in Respect of the Pledged Interests.




               (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:



                    (i) the Grantor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to any
Pledged Interests for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Financing
Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (A) the Grantor will
give the Collateral Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ written notice of the manner in which it
intends to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right that could
reasonably be expected to adversely affect in any material respect the value, liquidity or
marketability of any Collateral or the creation, perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s
Lien; and (B) the Grantor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right, as the case
may be, if the Collateral Agent gives the Grantor written notice that, in the Collateral Agent’s
reasonable business judgment, such action (or inaction) could reasonably be expected to adversely
affect in any material respect the value, liquidity or marketability of any Collateral or the
creation, perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s Lien; and



                    (ii) the Grantor may receive and retain any and all dividends, interest or other distributions
paid in respect of the Pledged Interests to the extent permitted by the Financing Agreement;
provided, however, that any and all (A) dividends and interest paid or payable
other than in cash in respect of, and Instruments and other property received, receivable or
otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for, any Pledged Interests, (B) dividends and
other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Interests in connection with

surplus or paid-in surplus, and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of,
or in exchange for, any Pledged Interests, together with any dividend, interest or other
distribution or payment which at the time of such payment was not permitted by the Financing
Agreement, shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to the Collateral Agent, to hold as, Pledged
Interests and shall, if received by the Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from the other property or funds of the Grantor, and shall be
forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received with any necessary
indorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Collateral
Agent as Pledged Interests and as further collateral security for the Secured Obligations; and



                    (iii) the Collateral Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to
the Grantor all such proxies and other instruments as the Grantor may reasonably request for the
purpose of enabling the Grantor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to
exercise pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) hereof and to receive the dividends, interest and/or other
distributions which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) hereof.



-15-









 





               (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:



                    (i) all rights of the Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it
would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) hereof, and to receive the
dividends, distributions, interest and other payments that it would otherwise be authorized to
receive and retain pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) hereof, shall cease, and all such rights shall
thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to
exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Pledged Interests such
dividends, distributions and interest payments;



                    (ii) the Collateral Agent is authorized to notify each debtor with respect to the Pledged Debt
to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent (or its designee) and may collect any and all
moneys due or to become due to the Grantor in respect of the Pledged Debt, and the Grantor hereby
authorizes each such debtor to make such payment directly to the Collateral Agent (or its designee)
without any duty of inquiry;



                    (iii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may at its option
exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges
or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Interests as if it were the absolute owner thereof,
including, without limitation, the right to exchange, in its discretion, any and all of the Pledged
Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other adjustment of
any Pledged Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Pledged Issuer of any right, privilege or option
pertaining to any Pledged Interests, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and
all of the Pledged Interests with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other
designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may reasonably determine; and



                    (iv) all dividends, distributions, interest and other payments that are received by the
Grantor contrary to the provisions of Section 7(b)(i) hereof shall be received in trust for the
benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of the Grantor, and shall be
forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Pledged Interests in the exact form received with
any necessary indorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the
Collateral Agent as Pledged Interests and as further collateral security for the Secured
Obligations.



          SECTION 8. Additional Provisions Concerning the Collateral.




               (a) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and for the purpose of taking any
action that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, the Grantor hereby (i) authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute any such agreements,
instruments or other documents in the Grantor’s name and to file such agreements, instruments or
other documents in the Grantor’s name and in any appropriate filing office, (ii) authorizes the
Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file, one or more financing or continuation
statements and amendments thereto, relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any
such financing statements that (A) describe the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal
property” (or words of similar effect) or that describe or



-16-









 




identify the Collateral by type or in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine,
regardless of whether any particular asset of the Grantor falls within the scope of Article 9 of
the Uniform Commercial Code or whether any particular asset of the Grantor constitutes part of the
Collateral, and (B) contain any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the Code for
the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or
amendment, including, without limitation, whether the Grantor is an organization, the type of
organization and any organizational identification number issued to the Grantor) and (iii) ratifies
such authorization to the extent that the Collateral Agent has filed any such financing statements,
continuation statements, or amendments thereto, prior to the date hereof. A photocopy or other
reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part
thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.




               (b) The Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact and
proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of the Grantor and in the name of the Grantor or
otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the
Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement
(subject to the rights of the Grantor under Section 6 hereof and Section 7(a) hereof), including,
without limitation, (i) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Collateral Agent
pursuant to the Financing Agreement, (ii) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound,
receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of
any Collateral, (iii) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other Instruments, Documents
and Chattel Paper in connection with clause (i) or (ii) above, (iv) to receive, indorse and collect
all Instruments made payable to the Grantor representing any dividend, interest payment or other
distribution in respect of any Pledged Interests and to give full discharge for the same, (v) to
file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Collateral Agent may deem
necessary or desirable for the collection of any Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of
the Collateral Agent and the Lenders with respect to any Collateral, (vi) to execute assignments,
licenses and other documents to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders with
respect to any Collateral, (vii) to pay or discharge taxes or Liens levied or placed upon or
threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to
discharge the same to be determined by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, and such
payments made by the Collateral Agent to become Obligations of the Grantor to the Collateral Agent,
due and payable immediately without demand, and (viii) to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or
express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, assignments, verifications and
notices in connection with Accounts, Chattel Paper and other documents relating to the Collateral.
This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the date on which all of the
Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash after the termination of each
Lender’s Commitment and each of the Loan Documents.



               (c) For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies
hereunder, at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights
and remedies, and for no other purpose, the Grantor hereby (i) grants to the Collateral Agent an
irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to
the Grantor) to use, assign, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now or hereafter owned
by the Grantor, wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable access to
all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded



-17-









 




or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; and (ii)
assigns to the Collateral Agent, to the extent assignable, all of its rights to any Intellectual
Property now or hereafter licensed or used by the Grantor. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of the Financing Agreement that limit the
right of the Grantor to dispose of its property and Section 6(g) hereof, so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Grantor may exploit, use, enjoy, protect,
license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to the
Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of its business. In furtherance of the foregoing,
unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall from
time to time, upon the request of the Grantor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or
other documents, in the form so requested, which the Grantor shall have certified are appropriate
(in the Grantor’s judgment) to allow it to take any action permitted above (including
relinquishment of the license provided pursuant to this clause (c) as to any Intellectual
Property). Further, upon the date on which all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly
paid in full in cash after the termination of each Lender’s Commitment and each of the Loan
Documents, the Collateral Agent (subject to Section 13(e) hereof) shall release and reassign to the
Grantor all of the Collateral Agent’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual
Property, all without recourse, representation or warranty whatsoever and at the Grantor’s sole
expense. The exercise of rights and remedies hereunder by the Collateral Agent shall not terminate
the rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore granted by the Grantor in
accordance with the second sentence of this clause (c). The Grantor hereby releases the Collateral
Agent from any claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent under the powers of attorney
granted herein other than actions taken or omitted to be taken through the Collateral Agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final determination of a court of competent
jurisdiction.




               (d) If the Grantor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, the
Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, in the
name of the Grantor or the Collateral Agent, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable by the Grantor pursuant to Section 10 hereof and shall be
secured by the Collateral.



               (e) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest
in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Other than
the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and
the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no
duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against
prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral and shall be relieved of all
responsibility for any Collateral in its possession upon surrendering it or tendering surrender of
it to the Grantor (or whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of
competent jurisdiction shall direct). The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its
own property, it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall not have responsibility for
ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or
other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to
have knowledge of such matters. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable or



-18-









 




responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the
value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency,
consignee or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.




               (f) The Collateral Agent may at any time in its discretion (i) without notice to the Grantor,
transfer or register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the
Pledged Interests, subject only to the revocable rights of the Grantor under Section 7(a) hereof,
and (ii) exchange certificates or Instruments constituting Pledged Interests for certificates or
Instruments of smaller or larger denominations.



          SECTION 9. Remedies Upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing:




               (a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other
rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and
remedies of a secured party upon default under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the
affected Collateral), and also may (i) take absolute control of the Collateral, including, without
limitation, transfer into the Collateral Agent’s name or into the name of its nominee or nominees
(to the extent the Collateral Agent has not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, for the
benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, all payments made thereon, give all consents,
waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it
were the outright owner thereof, (ii) require the Grantor to, and the Grantor hereby agrees that it
will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the
Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a
place or places to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both
parties, and the Collateral Agent may enter into and occupy any premises owned or leased by the
Grantor where the Collateral or any part thereof is located or assembled for a reasonable period in
order to effectuate the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without
obligation to the Grantor in respect of such occupation, and (iii) without notice except as
specified below and without any obligation to prepare or process the Collateral for sale, (A) sell
the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the
Collateral Agent’s offices, at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or
for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent
may deem commercially reasonable and/or (B) lease, license or otherwise dispose of the Collateral
or any part thereof upon such terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The
Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of the Collateral shall
be required by law, at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Grantor of the
time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of
the Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall
not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of Collateral regardless of notice of sale
having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time
by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be
made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Grantor hereby waives any claims
against the Collateral Agent and the Lenders arising by reason of the fact that the price at which
the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been
obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if
the Collateral Agent



-19-









 




accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree,
and waives all rights that the Grantor may have to require that all or any part of the Collateral
be marshaled upon any sale (public or private) thereof. The Grantor hereby acknowledges that (i)
any such sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent shall be made without warranty, (ii) the
Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or
the like, (iii) the Collateral Agent may bid (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of
cancellation of indebtedness), if permitted by law, for the purchase, lease, license or other
disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof for the account of the Collateral Agent (on
behalf of itself and the Lenders) and (iv) such actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)
above shall not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale of the Collateral.
In addition to the foregoing, (i) upon written notice to the Grantor from the Collateral Agent, the
Grantor shall cease any use of the Intellectual Property or any trademark, patent or copyright
similar thereto for any purpose described in such notice; (ii) the Collateral Agent may, at any
time and from time to time, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Grantor,
license, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis,
any of the Intellectual Property, throughout the universe for such term or terms, on such
conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and
(iii) the Collateral Agent may, at any time, pursuant to the authority granted in Section 8 hereof
(such authority being effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default), execute and deliver on behalf of the Grantor, one or more instruments of assignment of
the Intellectual Property (or any application or registration thereof), in form suitable for
filing, recording or registration in any country.




               (b) In the event that the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell all or any
part of the Pledged Interests pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof, the Grantor will, at the Grantor’s
expense and upon request by the Collateral Agent: (i) execute and deliver, and cause each issuer
of such Pledged Interests and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such
instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be
necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, advisable to register such Pledged
Interests under the provisions of the Securities Act, and to cause the registration statement
relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are
required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the
related prospectus which, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary or
advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations of the SEC applicable thereto, (ii) cause each issuer of such Pledged Interests to
qualify such Pledged Interests under the state securities or “Blue Sky” laws of each jurisdiction,
and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Pledged Interests, as
requested by the Collateral Agent, (iii) cause each Pledged Issuer to make available to its
securityholders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement which will satisfy the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, and (iv) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things
as may be necessary to make such sale of such Pledged Interests valid and binding and in compliance
with applicable law. The Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of
damages which would be suffered by the Collateral Agent by reason of the failure by the Grantor to
perform any of the covenants contained in this Section 9(b) and, consequently, agrees that, if the
Grantor fails to perform any of such covenants, it shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, an amount equal to the value of the Pledged Interests on the date the Collateral Agent
demands compliance with this Section 9(b); provided,



-20-









 




however, that the payment of such amount shall not release the Grantor from any of its
obligations under any of the other Loan Documents.




               (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9(b) hereof, the Grantor recognizes that the
Collateral Agent may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the
Pledged Shares or any other securities constituting Pledged Interests and that the Collateral Agent
may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such securities to a restricted
group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities
for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.
The Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to
the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and,
notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in
a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to delay
the sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such
securities to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act. The Grantor
further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such securities which has been (i) publicly
advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the
financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such an offer may be so advertised
without prior registration under the Securities Act) or (ii) made privately in the manner described
above to not less than fifteen bona fide offerees shall be deemed to involve a
“public disposition” for the purposes of Section 9-610(c) of the Code (or any successor or similar,
applicable statutory provision) as then in effect in the State of New York, notwithstanding that
such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act, and that the Collateral
Agent may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities.



               (d) Any cash held by the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee) as Collateral and all
Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee) in respect of any sale of
or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral may, in the
discretion of the Collateral Agent, be held by the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee) as
collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable
to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 10 hereof) in whole or in part by the Collateral Agent
against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations in such order as the Collateral Agent shall
elect, consistent with the provisions of the Financing Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or Cash
Proceeds held by the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee) and remaining after the date on
which all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash after the
termination of each Lender’s Commitment and each of the Loan Documents, shall be paid over to
whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction
shall direct.



               (e) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are
insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Collateral Agent and the Lenders are legally entitled,
the Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate
specified in any applicable Loan Document for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other
rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable
fees, costs, expenses and other client charges of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to
collect such deficiency.



-21-









 





               (f) The Grantor hereby acknowledges that if the Collateral Agent complies with any applicable
requirements of law in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, such compliance will not
adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral.



               (g) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral
security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other
assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral
security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the Collateral Agent’s
rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall
be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that
the Grantor lawfully may, the Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the
marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral
Agent’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the
Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of
the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that
it lawfully may, the Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.



          SECTION 10. Indemnity and Expenses.




               (a) The Grantor agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each
other Indemnitee from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, obligations,
penalties, fees, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, costs, expenses and disbursements) incurred by such Agent or such Indemnitee to
the extent that they arise out of or otherwise result from or relate to or are in connection with
this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except claims,
losses or liabilities resulting solely and directly from such Agent’s or any such Indemnitee’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction.



               (b) The Grantor agrees to pay to the Agents upon demand the amount of any and all costs and
expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the
Agents and of any experts and agents (including, without limitation, any collateral trustee which
may act as agent of the Agents), which the Agents may incur in connection with (i) the preparation,
negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other
modification or termination of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of,
or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Collateral, (iii) the exercise or
enforcement of any of the rights of the Agents hereunder, or (iv) the failure by the Grantor to
perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.



-22-









 





          SECTION 11. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder
shall be given in accordance with the notice provision of the Financing Agreement.




          SECTION 12. Security Interest Absolute; Joint and Several Obligations.




                    (a) All rights of the Secured Parties, all Liens and all obligations of the
Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (i) any lack of validity
or enforceability of the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) any change in the
time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in respect of, all or any of the Secured
Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from the Financing
Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) any exchange or release of, or non-perfection of any
Lien on any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any
guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations, or (iv) any other circumstance that might
otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Grantor in respect of the
Secured Obligations. All authorizations and agencies contained herein with respect to any of the
Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.



                    (b) The Grantor hereby waives (i) promptness and diligence, (ii) notice of acceptance and
notice of the incurrence of any Obligation by any Borrower, (iii) notice of any actions taken by
any Agent, any Lender, any Guarantor or any other Person under any Loan Document or any other
agreement, document or instrument relating thereto, (iv) all other notices, demands and protests,
and all other formalities of every kind in connection with the enforcement of the Obligations, the
omission of or delay in which, but for the provisions of this subsection (b), might constitute
grounds for relieving the Grantor of any of Grantor’s obligations hereunder and (v) any requirement
that any Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or other lien
on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Grantor or any
other Person or any collateral.



          SECTION 13. Miscellaneous.




               (a) No amendment of any provision of this Agreement (including any Schedule attached hereto)
shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Grantor affected thereby and the
Collateral Agent, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure
by the Grantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Collateral
Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given.



               (b) No failure on the part of the Secured Parties to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any
right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Secured Parties provided herein and in
the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or
remedies provided by law. The rights of the Secured Parties under any Loan Document against any
party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by such Person to exercise any of
its rights under any other Loan Document against such party or against any other Person, including
but not limited to, the Grantor.



-23-









 





               (c) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i)
remain in full force and effect, subject to paragraph (e) below, until the date on which all of the
Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash after the termination of each
Lender’s Commitment and each of the Loan Documents and (ii) be binding on the Grantor all other
Persons who become bound as debtor to this Agreement in accordance with
Section 9-203(d) of the Code, and shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of the
Secured Parties hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately
preceding sentence, the Secured Parties may assign or otherwise transfer their respective rights
and obligations under this Agreement and any other Loan Document to any other Person pursuant to
the terms of the Financing Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all
of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Secured Parties and herein or otherwise. Upon
any such assignment or transfer, all references in this Agreement to any Secured Party shall mean
the assignee of any such Secured Party. None of the rights or obligations of the Grantor hereunder
may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent,
and any such assignment or transfer shall be null and void.



               (d) Upon the date on which all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full
in cash after the termination of each Lender’s Commitment and each of the Loan Documents, (i)
subject to paragraph (e) below, this Agreement and the security interests and licenses created
hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantor and (ii) the
Collateral Agent will, upon the Grantor’s request and at the Grantor’s expense, without any
representation, warranty or recourse whatsoever, (A) return to the Grantor (or whomsoever shall be
lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct) such of
the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the
terms hereof and (B) execute and deliver to the Grantor such documents as the Grantor shall
reasonably request to evidence such termination.



               (e) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should
any petition be filed by or against the Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should the
Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or
should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Grantor’s assets,
and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or
performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law,
rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the
Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all
as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any
part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be
reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned.



               (f) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF LAW AND EXCEPT TO THE
EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY AND PERFECTION OR THE PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR



-24-









 




NON-PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST CREATED HEREBY, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY
PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.




               (g) In addition to and without limitation of any of the foregoing, this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a Loan Document and shall otherwise be subject to all of terms and conditions
contained in Sections 12.10 and 12.11 of the Financing Agreement, mutatis mutandi.



               (h) The Grantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to claim or
recover in any legal action, suit or proceeding with respect to this Agreement any special,
exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.



               (i) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the
validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.



               (j) Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not
constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.



               (k) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties
hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of such
counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be equally effective as
delivery of an original executed counterpart.

FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE AGREEMENT


This ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE AGREEMENT (“Assignment Agreement”) is entered into as of
______, 20___between                      (“Assignor”) and                                          (“Assignee”).
Reference is made to the agreement described in Item 2 of Annex I annexed hereto
(as amended, restated, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Financing
Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Financing Agreement.





          1. In accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 12.07 of the Financing
Agreement and Section 7 of this Assignment Agreement, the Assignor hereby sells and assigns
to the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor, that interest in
and to the Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents as of the date hereof and the
Commitments with respect to the Obligations owing to the Assignor, and the Assignor’s portion of
the Loans as specified on Annex I.



          2. The Assignor (a) represents and warrants that (i) it is the legal and beneficial owner of
the interest being assigned by it hereunder and that such interest is free and clear of any adverse
claim and (ii) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and
deliver this Assignment Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; (b)
except as set forth in this Assignment Agreement, makes no representation or warranty and assumes
no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in
connection with the Loan Documents or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability,
genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Loan Documents or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant thereto; and (c) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or
observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under the Loan Documents or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto.



          3. The Assignee (a) confirms that it has received copies of the Financing Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, together with copies of the financial statements referred to therein and such
other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Assignment Agreement; (b) agrees that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Assignor, or any other
Lender, based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue
to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents; (c)
appoints and authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such
action as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (as the case may be) on its behalf and
to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent or
the Collateral Agent (as the case may be) by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto; (d) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all
of the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a
Lender; and (e) attaches the forms prescribed

for purposes of determining exemption from United States withholding taxes with respect to all
payments to be made to the Assignee under the Financing Agreement or such other documents as are
necessary to indicate that all such payments are subject to such rates at a rate reduced by an
applicable tax treaty.




          4. Following the execution of this Assignment Agreement by the Assignor and the Assignee, it
will be delivered by the Assignor to the Collateral Agent for recording by the Administrative
Agent. The effective date of this Assignment Agreement (the “Settlement Date”) shall be
the latest of (a) the date of the execution hereof by the Assignor and the Assignee, (b) the
settlement date specified on Annex I, and (c) the_receipt by Assignor of the Purchase Price
specified in Annex I. In addition to the Purchase Price, as additional consideration for
the sale and purchase set forth in this Assignment Agreement, interest due under the Escrow
Interest Letter, dated as of January 30, 2009, between Assignor and Assignee on the principal
amount of Loans sold and purchased under this Assignment Agreement for the period from January 1,
2009 and ending on the Settlement Date shall be waived and shall not be required to be paid by
Assignor to Assignee.



          5. As of the Settlement Date (a) the Assignee shall be a party to the Financing Agreement and,
to the extent of the interest assigned pursuant to this Assignment Agreement, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender thereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (b) the Assignor shall,
to the extent of the interest assigned pursuant to this Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights
and be released from its obligations under the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents.



          6. Upon recording by the Administrative Agent, from and after the Settlement Date, the
Administrative Agent shall make all payments under the Financing Agreement and the other Loan
Documents in respect of the interest assigned hereby (including, without limitation, all payments
of principal, interest and commitment fees (if applicable) with respect thereto) to the Assignee.
The Assignor and the Assignee shall make all appropriate adjustments in payments under the
Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents for periods prior to the Settlement Date directly
between themselves on the Settlement Date.



          7. Any purchase and assumption by the Assignee under this Assignment Agreement is
subject to (i) the fulfillment, in a manner satisfactory to the Assignee, of each condition
precedent in Section 5.02 of the Financing Agreement in connection with each Insurance Premium Loan
financed with the proceeds of any Loan to be assigned hereunder, and (ii) receipt by the
Assignee, three (3) Business Days prior to the Settlement Date, of copies of all documents
required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or which the
Administrative Agent is entitled to receive in accordance with, Section 5.02(e) of the

EXHIBIT D




FORM OF INDIVIDUAL GUARANTY



          INDIVIDUAL GUARANTY, dated as of                     , 2009, made by [Jonathan Neuman] [Antony
Mitchell], an individual with a principal address at [                                        ] (the “Guarantor”),
in favor of each of the Lenders (as hereinafter defined) and CTL Holdings II, LLC (“CTL”),
as Collateral Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) pursuant to
the Financing Agreement referred to below.




W I T N E S S E T H:




          WHEREAS, Imperial Life Financing II, LLC, an Georgia limited liability company (the
“Borrower”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (each a “Lender” and
collectively, the “Lenders”), the Collateral Agent, and CTL, as administrative agent for
the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent” and together with the Collateral
Agent, each an “Agent” and collectively, the “Agents”) are parties to a Financing
Agreement, dated as of March ___, 2009 (such agreement, as amended, restated or otherwise modified
from time to time, being hereinafter referred to as the “Financing Agreement”);




          WHEREAS, pursuant to the Financing Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to make term loans (each
a “Loan” and collectively, the “Loans”) to the Borrower;




          WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 5.01(d) of the Financing Agreement, the Guarantor is required to
execute and deliver to the Agents a guaranty guaranteeing the Loans and all other Obligations under
the Financing Agreement under certain limited circumstances set forth in this Guaranty; and




          WHEREAS, the Guarantor has determined that his execution, delivery and performance of this
Guaranty directly benefit, and are within the purposes and in the best interests of, the Guarantor;




          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements herein and in order to
induce the Lenders to enter into the Financing Agreement and to make the Loans pursuant thereto,
the Guarantor hereby agrees with the Lenders and the Agents as follows:




          SECTION 1. Definitions. Reference is hereby made to the Financing Agreement for a
statement of the terms thereof. All terms used in this Guaranty which are defined in the Financing
Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings herein as set forth
therein.




          SECTION 2. Guaranty. (a) The Guarantor hereby (i) irrevocably, absolutely and
unconditionally guarantees the prompt payment by the Borrower, as and when due and payable (whether
by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise), of all Obligations
from time to time owing in respect of the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether
for principal, interest (including, without limitation, all interest that accrues after the
commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the






 









 







Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing interest is allowed in such proceeding),
fees, commissions, expense reimbursements, indemnifications or otherwise, and whether accruing
before or subsequent to the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Borrower
(notwithstanding the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code), and the due performance and observance by the Borrower of its other obligations now or
hereafter existing in respect of the Loan Documents (the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and
(ii) agrees to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred
by the Agents and the Lenders in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute
part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Borrower to the Agents and the Lenders
under any Loan Document but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the
existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving any Credit Party.




          (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Guaranty, except as provided in clause (ii) of
this Section 2(b) and Section 2(c), (x) the Guarantor shall not have any liability under this
Guaranty for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, (y) the Guarantor shall not
have any obligation to expend its own funds in the performance of any provision of any Loan
Document, and (z) no Agent nor any Lender shall obtain any deficiency judgment against the
Guarantor with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that:




               (i) nothing contained herein shall limit or otherwise restrict (A) any Agent’s or any Lender’s
rights and remedies against any of the Collateral under any other Loan Document, either at law or
equity, including, without limitation, any rights or remedies with respect to the Equity Interests
of the Borrower owned by the Guarantor, (B) the Agent or any Lender from bringing any action, suit
or proceeding for specific performance against the Guarantor to perform any obligation imposed on
the Guarantor hereunder, (C) recourse to or liability of the Guarantor for any fraud committed by
the Guarantor or material misrepresentation by the Guarantor in any Loan Document to which the
Guarantor is a party, or (D) the obligations of the Guarantor under any Loan Document which
obligations are either directly in favor of any Agent or any Lender or have been assigned to any
Agent or any Lender, each of which may be enforced by and for the benefit of the Agents and
Lenders, and



               (ii) the Guarantor shall have (A) full liability and responsibility for the Guaranteed
Obligations and other obligations hereunder if (x) any act (or omission to act) constituting fraud
or willful misconduct on the part of the Guarantor that impairs the Agents’ and the Lenders’
ability to be repaid under the Loan Documents occurs, or (y) the Guarantor authorizes, approves,
participates in or assists the Borrower or the Originator in commencing a voluntary or involuntary
case under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Insolvency Proceeding, and (B) liability and
responsibility for the Guaranteed Obligations and other obligations hereunder if (x) any
Collections are not promptly deposited directly into the Collection Account (other than Collections
(i) delivered to the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement or (ii) inadvertently deposited
into an account of the Originator or any Affiliate and promptly removed from such account and
deposited into the Collection Account); provided, that in the case of this clause (B)(x),
such liability and responsibility of the Guarantor shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the
Collections not promptly deposited directly into the Collection Account or (y) the Guarantor and/or
an agent or employee of Imperial and/or its Subsidiaries or any Person



- 2 -









 




appointed by the Borrower to perform any duties on behalf of the Borrower in connection with
the Collateral Value Policy or Contingent Collateral Value Policy shall refer any claim to the
Collateral Value Insurer or Contingent Collateral Value Insurer knowing the same to be fraudulent
and at the time, the Borrower is not owned by a Lender or its Affiliates; provided, that in
the case of this clause (B)(y), such liability and responsibility of the Guarantor shall not exceed
the aggregate amount of the loss relating to the applicable Coverage Certificate related to such
fraudulent claim and shall only arise if the action involved was taken by the Guarantor and/or an
agent or employee of Imperial and/or its Subsidiaries or any Person appointed by the Borrower to
perform any duties on behalf of the Borrower in connection with the Collateral Value Policy or the
Contingent Collateral Value Policy or (z) the applicable Premium Finance Borrower, the Originator
or the Borrower ceases to be the legal owner of a Covered Policy (as defined in the Collateral
Value Policy or Contingent Collateral Value Policy) and the Guarantor and/or an employee of
Imperial and/or its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantor Responsible Parties”), directly or
indirectly, caused, or assisted another Person in, the transfer of legal title of such Covered
Policy from the applicable Premium Finance Borrower, the Originator or the Borrower to another
Person other than the Collateral Value Insurer or the Contingent Collateral Value Insurer (or a
designee of the Collateral Value Insurer or the Contingent Collateral Value Insurer);
provided, that in the case of this clause (B)(z), such liability and responsibility of the
Guarantor shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the loss relating to the applicable Coverage
Certificate related to such Covered Policy; provided further, and for greater clarity, in
the case of this clause (B)(z), any transfer or change in legal ownership caused solely by a Person
other than a Guarantor Responsible Party that is permitted by the Transaction Documents shall not
result in liability or responsibility hereunder for the Guarantor.




          (c) Nothing in subsection (b) of this Section 2 shall limit or otherwise restrict in any
manner the rights, powers and privileges of any Agent against the Guarantor under any other Loan
Document to which the Guarantor is a party.




          SECTION 3. Guaranty Absolute; Continuing Guaranty; Assignments.




          (a) Subject to Sections 2(b) and 2(c) of this Agreement, the Guarantor hereby guarantees that
the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any
jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agents or the Lenders with respect
thereto. The Guarantor agrees that, subject to Sections 2(b) and 2(c) of this Agreement, his
guarantee constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection and waives any right to
require that any resort be made by the Agents or the Lenders to any Collateral. The obligations of
the Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the obligations under the Financing Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted
against the Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought
against any Credit Party or whether any Credit Party is joined in any such action or actions.
Subject to Sections 2(b) and 2(c) of this Agreement, the liability of the Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Guarantor hereby
irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of
the following:







- 3 -









 








               (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument
relating thereto;



               (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in respect
of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to
departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed
Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Credit Party or otherwise;



               (iii) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking,
release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any
of the Guaranteed Obligations;



               (iv) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Guarantor may have
against any Person, including, without limitation, any Agent or any Lender;



               (v) any change, restructuring or termination of the limited liability company structure or
existence of the Borrower; or



               (vi) any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or any existence of or
reliance on any representation by the Agents or the Lenders that might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party or any other guarantor or surety.


This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the
Agents, the Lenders or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any
Credit Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.




          (b) This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until
the later of (x) the cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts
payable under this Guaranty and (y) the Final Maturity Date, (ii) be binding upon the Guarantor,
his heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns and (iii) inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Agents, the Lenders and their successors, pledgees,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (iii), any Lender
may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of his rights and obligations under any
Loan Document to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the
benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in
the Financing Agreement.




          SECTION 4. Waivers. The Guarantor hereby waives, to the full extent permitted by
applicable law, (i) promptness and diligence; (ii) notice of acceptance and notice of the
incurrence of any Obligation by the Borrower; (iii) notice of any actions taken by any Agent, the
Borrower, any Credit Party or any Lender under any Loan Document or any other agreement or
instrument related thereto; (iv) all other notices, demands and protests, and all other formalities
of every kind in connection with the enforcement of the Obligations or of the obligations of the
Guarantor hereunder, the omission of or delay in which, but for the provisions of this Section 4,
might constitute grounds for relieving the Guarantor of his obligations






- 4 -









 







hereunder; (v) any right to compel or direct any Agent or any Lender to seek payment or
recovery of any amounts owed under this Guaranty from any one particular fund or source; (vi) any
requirement that any Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest
or Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the
Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Person or any Collateral; and (vii) any other defense
available to the Guarantor. The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect
benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and that the waiver set forth in this
Section 4 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. The Guarantor hereby waives any
right to revoke this Guaranty, and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and
applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.




          SECTION 5. Subrogation. (a) Until the final payment in cash and performance in full
of all of the Obligations, the Guarantor shall not exercise any rights against the Borrower or any
other guarantor arising as a result of payment by the Borrower or such guarantor hereunder, by way
of subrogation, reimbursement, restitution, contribution or otherwise, and will not prove any claim
in competition with any Agent or any Lender in respect of any payment hereunder in any Insolvency
Proceedings; the Guarantor will not claim any set-off, recoupment or counterclaim against the
Borrower or any other guarantor in respect of any liability of the Guarantor to the Borrower or
guarantor; and the Guarantor, the Borrower and each guarantor waives any benefit of and any right
to participate in any collateral security which may be held by any Agent or any Lender. Anything
to the contrary contained in the foregoing notwithstanding, the Guarantor shall not exercise any
such rights against the Borrower (including after payment in full of the Obligations) if all or any
portion of the Obligations shall have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies by
the Collateral Agent in respect of the Equity Interests of the Borrower whether pursuant to the
Individual Guarantor Security Agreement or otherwise.




          (b) The payment of any amounts due with respect to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or the
Guarantor for money borrowed or credit received now or hereafter owed to the Guarantor is hereby
subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of the Obligations. The Guarantor agrees that,
after the occurrence of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, the
Guarantor will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of the
Borrower or other guarantor to the Guarantor until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in
full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive
any amounts in respect of such indebtedness while any Obligations are still outstanding, such
amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by the Guarantor as trustee for the Agents and
the Lenders and be paid over to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Agents and the
Lenders, on account of the Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of the
Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.




          SECTION 6. Representations, Warranties. The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants
as follows:




          (a) The Guarantor has the legal capacity and right to execute, deliver and perform this
Guaranty and each other Loan Document to which the Guarantor is a party.







- 5 -









 








          (b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty and each other
Loan Document to which the Guarantor is a party (i) do not and will not contravene any Requirements
of Law or any contractual restriction binding on or otherwise affecting the Guarantor or his
properties, (ii) do not and will not result in or require the creation of any Lien (other than
pursuant to any Loan Document) upon or with respect to any of his properties, and (iii) do not and
will not result in any default, noncompliance, suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or
nonrenewal of any permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to any of his properties.




          (c) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any
Governmental Authority is required in connection with the due execution, delivery and performance
by the Guarantor of this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents to which the Guarantor is a
party, except for the filing of any UCC financing statement or such other registrations, filings or
recordings as may be necessary to perfect the Lien purported to be created by any Loan Documents to
which the Guarantor is a party.




          (d) Each of this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents to which the Guarantor is or will be a
party, when delivered, will be, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable
against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws.




          (e) There are no pending or written notices threatening any action, suit or proceeding
affecting the Guarantor before any court or other Governmental Authority or any arbitrator that (x)
if adversely determined could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect to the
Guarantor’s financial condition or (y) relates to this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents
to which the Guarantor is a party or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby.




          (f) The Guarantor is not in violation of any Requirements of Law or any material term of any
agreement or instrument (including, without limitation, any contract) binding on or otherwise
affecting him or any of his properties.




          (g) The Guarantor is not a party to any agreement or instrument, or subject to any restriction
or any judgment, order, regulation, ruling or other requirement of a court or other Governmental
Authority, which has, or in the future could have, a material adverse effect to the Guarantor’s
financial condition.




          (h) The Guarantor has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which he is required to file
and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments made
against the Guarantor or any of he property by any Governmental Authority except to the extent any
such taxes are being contested in good faith. No tax Lien has been filed with respect to any
material tax liability against the Guarantor, and, to the knowledge of the Guarantor, no tax
assessment is pending against the Guarantor.




          (i) The Guarantor (i) has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Financing
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (ii) now has and will continue to have independent
means of obtaining information concerning the affairs, financial condition and






- 6 -









 







business of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties, and has no need of, or right to obtain
from any Agent or any Lender, any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial
condition or business of the Borrower or the other Credit Parties that may come under the control
of any Agent or any Lender.




          (j) All representations and warranties set forth in this Guaranty are true and correct in all
respects at the time as of which such representations were made and on the Effective Date.




          SECTION 7. Covenants. The Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that, until full and
final payment of the Obligations in cash and the termination of the Total Term Loan Commitment, the
Guarantor will:




          (a) Not accept or retain any distribution or other payment from the Borrower if the making of
such distribution or other payment by the Borrower violates, or may reasonably be expected to
result in a violation of, the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document.




          (b) Comply in all material respects with all Requirements of Law (including any settlement of
any claim that, if breached, could give rise to any of the foregoing).




          (c) Promptly notify the Agents of:




               (i) (A) any breach or non-performance of, or any default under, any Contractual Obligation of
such Guarantor which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect to the
Guarantor’s financial condition, and (B) any action, suit, litigation or proceeding which may exist
at any time which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect to the Guarantor’s
financial condition; and



               (ii) the occurrence of any event or development that could have a material adverse effect to
the Guarantor’s financial condition;


provided that (A) each notice pursuant to this Section 7(c) shall be accompanied by a
written statement signed by such Guarantor, setting forth details of the occurrence referred to
therein, and stating what action the Guarantors propose to take with respect thereto and at what
time. Each notice under Section 7(c)(i) shall describe with particularity the provisions of this
Guaranty or other Loan Document that have been breached.




          (d) Pay all taxes, assessments, governmental charges and other obligations when due, except as
may be contested in good faith or those as to which a bona fide dispute may exist.




          (e) Execute and deliver to the Agents such further instruments and do such other further acts
as the Agent may reasonably request to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Guaranty,
the other Loan Documents and any agreements and instruments referred to herein.




          (f) Not knowingly commit, and not knowingly permit any of its Affiliates, including the
Borrower, to knowingly commit, a Prohibited Act (as defined in the Collateral






- 7 -









 







Value Policy or Contingent Collateral Value Policy) or any other act that results in the
liability of the Collateral Value Insurer or Contingent Collateral Value Insurer under the
Collateral Value Policy or Contingent Collateral Value Policy being reduced or terminated.




          (g) On the Effective Date, deliver to the Agents, for the benefit of the Lenders, a personal
financial statement of the Guarantor, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents,
accompanied by a signed representation by the Guarantor that such personal financial statement is
complete and accurate in all material respects and fairly presents the financial condition of the
Guarantor as of the Effective Date and that the Guarantor has no contingent obligations or
liabilities (for taxes or otherwise) or any unusual long term commitment except as set forth in
such financial statement or the notes thereto.




          SECTION 8. Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, and subject to Sections 2(b) and 2(c) of this Agreement, the Agents and the
Lenders may, and are hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to the
Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by the Guarantor) and to the fullest extent
permitted by law, set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by any Agent or any
Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor against any and all obligations of the
Guarantor either now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document,
irrespective of whether or not any Agent or any Lender shall have made any demand under this
Guaranty or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured.
Each of the Agents and Lenders agrees to notify the Guarantor promptly after any such set-off and
application made by such Agent or Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Agents and the
Lenders under this Section 8 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Agents and the Lenders may have under this Guaranty
or any other Loan Document in law or otherwise.




          SECTION 9. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be mailed (by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt
requested), telecopied or delivered, if to the Guarantor, to it at his address set forth on the
signature page hereto, or if to the Collateral Agent, to it at its address set forth in the
Financing Agreement; or as to either such Person at such other address as shall be designated by
such Person in a written notice to such other Person complying as to delivery with the terms of
this Section 9. All such notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed
(certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested), when received or 3 days after

          SECTION 12. Miscellaneous.




          (a) The Guarantor will make each payment hereunder in lawful money of the United States of
America and in immediately available funds to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders,
at such address specified by the Collateral Agent from time to time by notice to the Guarantor.




          (b) No amendment of any provision of this Guaranty shall be effective unless it is in writing
and signed by the Guarantor and the Collateral Agent, and no waiver of any provision of this
Guaranty, and no consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Guarantor and the Collateral Agent,
and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given.




          (c) No failure on the part of any Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising,
any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of
the Agents and the Lenders provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are
in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the
Agents and the Lenders under any Loan Document against any party thereto are not conditional or
contingent on any attempt by the Agents and the Lenders to exercise any of their rights under any
other Loan Document against such party or against any other Person.




          (d) Any provision of this Guaranty which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the
validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.




          (e) This Guaranty shall (i) be binding on the Guarantor and his heirs, executors,
administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, and (ii) inure, together with all
rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder, to the benefit of the Agents and the
Lenders and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality
of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, to the extent permitted by Section 12.07 of
the Financing Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights under the Financing
Agreement or any other Loan Document to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon
become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Lenders herein or
otherwise. The Guarantor agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 8 with respect to its participation in any portion of the Loans as if it was a Lender.
None of the rights or obligations of the Guarantor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise
transferred without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.




          (f) This Guaranty and the other Loan Documents reflect the entire understanding of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any
other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.

constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Guaranty.
Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Guaranty by telefacsimile or electronic mail
also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Guaranty but the failure to deliver an
original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of
this Guaranty.

FORM OF GUARANTOR SECURITY AGREEMENT




          PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of February ___, 2009 (this “Agreement”),
made by Imperial Premium Finance, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Pledgor”),
in favor of CTL Holdings II, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“CTL”), in its
capacity as collateral agent (in such capacity, together with any successors or assigns in such
capacity, if any, the “Collateral Agent”) on behalf of the Lenders referred to below.




W I T N E S S E T H:




          WHEREAS, Imperial Life Financing II, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the
“Borrower”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (each a “Lender” and
collectively, the “Lenders”), the Collateral Agent, and CTL, as administrative agent for
the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent” and together with the Collateral
Agent, each an “Agent” and collectively, the “Agents”) are parties to a Financing
Agreement, dated as of February ___, 2009 (such agreement, as amended, restated or otherwise
modified from time to time, being hereinafter referred to as the “Financing Agreement”);




          WHEREAS, pursuant to the Financing Agreement the Lenders have agreed to make term loans (each
a “Loan” and collectively, the “Loans”) to the Borrower in an aggregate principal
amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the Total Term Loan Commitment (as defined in the
Financing Agreement);




          WHEREAS, the Pledgor owns 100% of the Equity Interests (as defined in the Financing Agreement)
of the Borrower, as set forth in Schedule I hereto;




          WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the Lenders making any Loan to the Borrower pursuant
to the Financing Agreement that the Pledgor shall have executed and delivered to the Collateral
Agent a pledge and security agreement providing for the pledge to the Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and the grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of
the Agents and the Lenders, of a security interest in and Lien on the outstanding shares of the
Equity Interests (as defined in the Financing Agreement) owned by the Pledgor of the Borrower, and
in which such Pledgor has any interest at any time;




          WHEREAS, the Pledgor has determined that the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement directly benefits, and is in the best interest of, the Pledgor.




          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements herein and in order to
induce the Lenders to make and maintain the Loans to the Borrower pursuant to the Financing
Agreement, the Pledgor hereby agrees with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Agents and
the Lenders, as follows:




          SECTION 1. Definitions. Reference is hereby made to the Financing Agreement for a
statement of the terms thereof. All terms used in this Agreement which are defined in the
Financing Agreement or in Article 8 or Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (the
“Code”) as in effect from time to time in the State of New York and which are not otherwise
defined






 









 







herein shall have the same meanings herein as set forth therein; provided, that terms
used herein which are defined in the Code as in effect in the State of New York on the date hereof
shall continue to have the same meaning notwithstanding any replacement or amendment of such
statute except as the Collateral Agent may otherwise determine.




          SECTION 2. Pledge and Grant of Security Interest. As collateral security for all of
the Obligations (as defined in Section 3 hereof), the Pledgor hereby pledges and assigns to the
Collateral Agent, and grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Agents and the
Lenders, a continuing security interest in and Lien on the Pledgor’s right, title and interest in
and to the following (collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”):




               (a) the shares of stock, partnership interests, member interests and other equity interests
described in Schedule I hereto (the “Pledged Shares”), whether or not evidenced or
represented by any stock certificate, certificated security or other instrument, issued by the
Borrower described in such Schedule I (the “Pledged Issuers”), the certificates
representing the Pledged Shares, all options and other rights, contractual or otherwise, in respect
thereof and all dividends, distributions, cash, instruments, investment property and other property
(including but not limited to, any stock dividend and any distribution in connection with a stock
split) from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange
for any or all of the Pledged Shares;



               (b) all additional shares of stock, partnership interests, member interests or other equity
interests from time to time acquired by the Pledgor, of the Pledged Issuers, the certificates
representing such additional shares, all options and other rights, contractual or otherwise, in
respect thereof and all dividends, distributions, cash, instruments, investment property and other
property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in
exchange for any or all of such additional shares, interests or equity;



               (c) all security entitlements of the Pledgor in any and all of the foregoing; and



               (d) all proceeds (including proceeds of proceeds) of any and all of the foregoing;


in each case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Pledgor and howsoever its interest
therein may arise or appear (whether by ownership, security interest, Lien, claim or otherwise).




          SECTION 3. Obligations. (a) The Pledgor hereby (i) irrevocably, absolutely and
unconditionally guarantees the prompt payment by the Borrower, as and when due and payable (whether
by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise), of all amounts from
time to time owing in respect of the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether for
principal, interest (including, without limitation, all interest that accrues after the
commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Borrower, whether or not a claim for
post-filing interest is allowed in such proceeding), fees, commissions, expense reimbursements,
indemnifications or otherwise, and whether accruing before or subsequent to the commencement of any
Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Borrower

(notwithstanding the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code), and the due performance and observance by the Borrower of its other obligations
now or hereafter existing in respect of the Loan Documents (the “Obligations”), and (ii)
agrees to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the
Agents and the Lenders in enforcing any rights under this Agreement.




               (b) The security interest created hereby in the Pledged Collateral constitutes continuing
collateral security for (x) Obligations and (y) the due performance and observance by the Pledgor
of all of its other obligations from time to time existing in respect of the Loan Documents.



               (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the recourse of the
Agent and the Lenders with respect to the liability of the Pledgor under this Agreement solely with
respect to the Obligations shall be limited to the Pledged Collateral.



               SECTION 4. Delivery of the Pledged Collateral.



               (a) (i) All certificates currently representing the Pledged Shares shall be delivered to the
Collateral Agent contemporaneously with or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
All other certificates and instruments constituting Pledged Collateral from time to time or
required to be pledged to the Collateral Agent, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the
Financing Agreement (the “Additional Collateral”), shall be delivered to the Collateral
Agent promptly upon receipt thereof by or on behalf of the Pledgor. All such certificates and
instruments shall be held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto and shall be
delivered in suitable form for transfer by delivery or shall be accompanied by duly executed
instruments of transfer or assignment or undated stock powers executed in blank, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. If any Pledged Collateral consists of
uncertificated securities, unless the immediately following sentence is applicable thereto, the
Pledgor shall cause the Collateral Agent (or its designated custodian or nominee) to become the
registered holder thereof, or cause each issuer of such securities to agree that it will comply
with instructions originated by the Collateral Agent with respect to such securities without
further consent by the Pledgor. If any Pledged Collateral consists of security entitlements, the
Pledgor shall transfer such security entitlements to the Collateral Agent (or its custodian,
nominee or other designee), or cause the applicable securities intermediary to agree that it will
comply with entitlement orders by the Collateral Agent without further consent by the Pledgor.



                    (ii) Within five (5) days of the receipt by the Pledgor of any Additional Collateral, a Pledge
Amendment, duly executed by the Pledgor, in substantially the form of Annex I hereto (a “Pledge
Amendment”) shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in respect of the Additional Collateral
which must be pledged pursuant to this Agreement and the Financing Agreement. The Pledge Amendment
shall from and after delivery thereof constitute part of Schedule I hereto. The Pledgor hereby
authorizes the Collateral Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that
all certificates or instruments listed on any Pledge Amendment delivered to the Collateral Agent
shall for all purposes hereunder constitute Pledged Collateral and such Pledgor shall be deemed
upon delivery thereof to have made the



3









 




representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 hereof with respect to such Additional
Collateral.




               (b) If the Pledgor shall receive, by virtue of the Pledgor’s being or having been an owner of
any Pledged Collateral, any (i) stock certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate
representing a stock dividend or distribution in connection with any increase or reduction of
capital, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, combination of shares, stock
split, spin-off or split-off) or other instrument, (ii) option or right, whether as an addition to,
substitution for, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, or otherwise, (iii) dividends payable
in cash (except such dividends permitted to be retained by any such Pledgor pursuant to Section 7
hereof) or in securities or other property or (iv) dividends or other distributions in connection
with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital,
capital surplus or paid-in surplus, the Pledgor shall receive such stock certificate, instrument,
option, right, payment or distribution constituting certificated Pledged Collateral in trust for
the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall segregate it from such Pledgor’s other property and
shall deliver it forthwith to the Collateral Agent, in the exact form received, with any necessary
endorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Collateral
Agent as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.



          SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties. The Pledgor represents and warrants as
follows:




               (a) The Pledgor is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the state of its organization as set forth on the first page hereof, and
has all the requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute, deliver and perform
this Agreement.



               (b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Pledgor of this Agreement (i) have been
duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company power and authority, (ii) do not and
will not contravene its certificate of formation, operating agreement, any Requirements of Law or
any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its properties, (ii) do not and
will not result in or require the creation of any Lien upon or with respect to any of its
properties other than pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) do not and will not results in any
default, noncompliance, suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any
material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to any of its properties.



               (c) Schedule II hereto sets forth (i) the exact legal name of the Pledgor and all other names
used by the Pledgor at any time during the five years preceding the Effective Date, and (ii) the
Pledgor’s chief executive office and principal place of business and each place of business of the
Pledgor during the five years preceding the Effective Date.



               (d) The Pledged Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and
nonassessable and the holders thereof are not entitled to any preemptive, first refusal or other
similar rights (other than pursuant to a stock transfer agreement entered into



4









 




with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent). All other shares of stock
constituting Pledged Collateral will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.




               (e) The Pledgor is and will be at all times the legal and beneficial owner of the Pledged
Collateral free and clear of all Liens except for the Lien created by this Agreement.



               (f) The exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights and remedies hereunder will not
contravene any law or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting the Pledgor or any of the
properties of the Pledgor and will not result in or require the creation of any Lien upon or with
respect to any of the properties of the Pledgor other than pursuant to this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents.



               (g) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any
Governmental Authority is required to be obtained or made by the Pledgor for (i) the due execution,
delivery and performance by the Pledgor of this Agreement, (ii) the grant by the Pledgor, or the
perfection, of the Lien created hereby in the Pledged Collateral, except for the filing in the
office described in Schedule III hereto of a UCC financing statement naming the Pledgor as debtor,
the Collateral Agent as secured party and describing the Pledged Collateral, to perfect the
Collateral Agent’s security interests in items of the Pledged Collateral in which such security
interests are not susceptible to perfection by possession of certificates or instruments, which
financing statement has been duly filed or (iii) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its
rights and remedies hereunder, except as may be required in connection with any sale of any Pledged
Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally.



               (h) This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Pledgor, enforceable
against the Pledgor in accordance with its terms.



               (i) This Agreement creates a valid Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of
the Agents and the Lenders, in the Pledged Collateral as security for the Obligations. The
Collateral Agent’s having possession of the certificates representing the Pledged Shares and all
other certificates, instruments and cash constituting Pledged Collateral from time to time results
in the perfection of such Lien. Such Lien is, or in the case of Pledged Collateral in which the
Pledgor obtains rights after the date hereof, will be, a perfected, first priority Lien. All
action necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such Lien has been duly taken, except for the
Collateral Agent’s having possession of certificates, instruments and cash constituting Pledged
Collateral after the date hereof.



               (j) The partnership interests or membership interests of each Pledged Issuer are (i)
securities for purposes of Article 8 of the UCC, (iii) investment company securities within the
meaning of Section 8-103 of the UCC and (iii) evidenced by a certificate.



               (k) The pledge of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement does not violate
Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

the Collateral Agent shall otherwise consent in writing:




               (a) keep adequate records concerning the Pledged Collateral and permit the Collateral Agent or
any agents, designees or representatives thereof at any time or from time to time to examine and

in and to the Pledged Collateral against the claims of any Person;



               (d) at the Pledgor’s expense, at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver
all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or
desirable or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to (i) perfect and protect,
or maintain the perfection of, the security interest and Lien created hereby, (ii) enable the

Pledged Collateral or any interest therein except as expressly permitted by Section 7.02(c) of the
Financing Agreement;

any Pledged Collateral other than pursuant to the Loan Documents;



               (h) not vote in favor of the issuance of (i) any additional shares of any class of Equity
Interests of each Pledged Issuer, (ii) any securities convertible voluntarily by the holder thereof
or automatically upon the occurrence or non occurrence of any event or condition into, or
exchangeable for, any such shares of Equity Interests or (iii) any warrants, options, contracts or
other commitments entitling any Person to purchase or otherwise acquire any such shares of Equity
Interests, except in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), to the extent any such issuance is
expressly permitted by the Financing Agreement;



               (i) not take or fail to take any action which would in any manner impair the value of or the
enforceability of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in and Lien on any Pledged Collateral;
and



6









 





               (j) cause each interest in each Pledged Issuer controlled by the Pledgor and pledged hereunder
to be (i) represented by a certificate, (ii) deemed a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of
the UCC and (iii) governed by Article 8 of the UCC.



          SECTION 7. Voting Rights, Dividends, Etc. in Respect of the Pledged Collateral.

                    (i) the Pledgor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to any
Pledged Collateral for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Financing
Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (A) the Pledgor will
not exercise or will refrain from exercising any such right, as the case may be, if the Collateral
Agent gives the Pledgor notice that, in the Collateral Agent’s judgment, such action (or inaction)
is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect to the Pledgor’s financial condition and (B)
the Pledgor will give the Collateral Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of the manner in
which it intends to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right which
is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect to the Pledgor’s financial condition;



                    (ii) the Pledgor may receive and retain any and all dividends, interest or other distributions
or payments in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent permitted by the Financing
Agreement; provided, however, that any and all (A) dividends and interest paid or
payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable
or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, (B) dividends
and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral in connection
with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital,
capital surplus or paid-in surplus, and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in
redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, together with any dividend, interest or
other distribution or payment which at the time of such payment was not permitted by the Financing
Agreement, shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to the Collateral Agent, if such Collateral
constitutes certificated Pledged Collateral, to hold as, Pledged Collateral and shall, if received
by the Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated
from the other property or funds of the Pledgor, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral
Agent in the exact form received with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock powers
duly executed in blank, to be held by the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral and as further
collateral security for the Obligations; and



                    (iii) the Collateral Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to
the Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as the Pledgor may reasonably request for the
purpose of enabling the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to
exercise pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) hereof and to receive the dividends, interest and/or other
distributions which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) hereof.

               (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:



                    (i) all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights which it would otherwise
be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) hereof, and to receive the dividends,
distributions, interest and other payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and
retain pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) hereof, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become
vested in the Collateral Agent which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting
and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends and
interest payments;



                    (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may, at its option
exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges
or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof,
including, without limitation, the right to exchange, in its discretion, any and all of the Pledged
Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other adjustment of
each Pledged Issuer, or upon the exercise by each Pledged Issuer of any right, privilege or option
pertaining to any Pledged Collateral, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and
all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other
designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine; and



                    (iii) all dividends, distributions, interest and other payments which are received by the
Pledgor contrary to the provisions of Section 7(b)(i) hereof shall be received in trust for the
benefit of the Collateral Agent shall be segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, and shall be
forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral in the exact form received with
any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the
Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.



          SECTION 8. Additional Provisions Concerning the Pledged Collateral.




               (a) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and for the purpose of taking any
action which the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, the Pledgor (i) authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute any such agreements,
instruments or other documents in the Pledgor’s name and to file such agreements, instruments or
other documents in the Pledgor’s name and to file such agreements, instruments, or other documents
in any appropriate filing office (ii) authorizes the Collateral Agent to file any financing
statements required hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and any continuation statements or
amendment with respect thereto, in any appropriate filing office without the signature of the
Pledgor and (iii) ratifies the filing of any financing statement, and any continuation statement or
amendment with respect thereto, filed without the signature of the Pledgor prior to the date
hereof. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering
the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where
permitted by law.

               (b) The Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as the Pledgor’s
attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the
name of the Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion, to take
any action and to execute any instrument which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable
to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (subject to the rights of the Pledgor under Section
7(a) hereof), including, without limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made
payable to the Pledgor representing any dividend, interest, distribution or other payment in
respect of any Pledged Collateral and to give full discharge for the same. This power is coupled
with an interest and is irrevocable until all of the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full
after all Commitments have been terminated.



               (c) If the Pledgor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, the
Collateral Agent itself may perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the
expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Pledgor
pursuant to Section 10 hereof and shall be secured by the Pledged Collateral.



               (d) Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Pledged
Collateral while held hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve
rights pertaining thereto and shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Pledged Collateral
upon surrendering it or tendering surrender of it to the Pledgor. The Collateral Agent shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral
in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which
the Collateral Agent accords its own property, it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall
not have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions,
exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not
the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any
necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral.



               (e) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest
in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any
such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the
accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as
to any Pledged Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against
prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral.



               (f) The Collateral Agent may at any time in its discretion (i) without notice to the Pledgor,
transfer or register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the
Pledged Collateral, subject only to the revocable rights of such Pledgor under Section 7(a) hereof,
and (ii) exchange certificates or instruments constituting Pledged Collateral for certificates or
instruments of smaller or larger denominations.



9









 





          SECTION 9. Remedies Upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing:




               (a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to any
other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and
remedies of a secured party upon default under the Code then in effect in the State of New York;
and without limiting the generality of the foregoing and without notice except as specified below,
sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale,
at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, at such price or prices and on such other terms as
the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Pledgor agrees that, to the extent
notice of sale shall be required by law, at least five (5) days notice to the Pledgor of the time
and place of any public sale of Pledged Collateral owned by the Pledgor or the time after which any
private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall
not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of whether or not notice of sale
has been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be
made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.



               (b) In the event that the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell all or any
part of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof, the Pledgor will, upon request by
the Collateral Agent: (i) execute and deliver, and vote in favor of causing the issuer of the
Pledged Collateral and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such
instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be
necessary or, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, advisable to register the Pledged Collateral
under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and
to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective
for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and
supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent,
are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto, (ii) vote in
favor of causing the issuer of the Pledged Collateral to qualify the Pledged Collateral under the
state securities or “Blue Sky” laws of each jurisdiction, and to obtain all necessary governmental
approvals for the sale of the Pledged Collateral, as requested by the Collateral Agent, (iii) vote
in favor of causing each Pledged Issuer to make available to its securityholders, as soon as
practicable, an earnings statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act, and (iv) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things within its power as
may be necessary to make such sale of the Pledged Collateral valid and binding and in compliance
with any applicable law.



               (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9(b) hereof, the Pledgor recognizes that the
Collateral Agent may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the
Pledged Shares or any other securities constituting Pledged Collateral and that the Collateral
Agent may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such securities to a
restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such
securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale
thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at



10









 




prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might
have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private
sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral
Agent shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any such securities for the period of time
necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under
the Securities Act. The Pledgor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such
securities which has been (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other
publication of general circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent
that such an offer may be so advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act) or
(ii) made privately in the manner described above to not less than fifteen bona
fide offerees shall be deemed to involve a “public disposition” for the purposes of Section
9-610(c) of the Code (or any successor or similar, applicable statutory provision) as then in
effect in the State of New York, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public
offering” under the Securities Act, and that the Collateral Agent may, in such event, bid for the
purchase of such securities.




               (d) Any cash held by the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds received
by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all
or any part of the Pledged Collateral may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, be held by
the Collateral Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after
payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 10 hereof) in whole or
in part by the Collateral Agent against, all or any part of the Obligations in such order as the
Collateral Agent shall elect consistent with the provisions of the Financing Agreement. Any
surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Collateral Agent and remaining after indefeasible
payment in full of all of the Obligations after all Commitments have been terminated shall be paid
over to the Pledgor or to such Person as may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.



               (e) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are
insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Agents and the Lenders are legally entitled, the
Pledgor shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate
specified in the Financing Agreement for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate
as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the fees, costs and
expenses and other client charges of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such
deficiency.



          SECTION 10. Indemnity and Expenses.




               (a) The Pledgor agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each
Lender (and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and
agents) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities obligations, penalties,
fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees, costs and expenses of counsel)
to the extent that they arise out of or otherwise result from the enforcement of this Agreement,
except, as to any such indemnified Person, claims, losses or liabilities resulting solely and
directly from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.



11









 





               (b) The Pledgor agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent upon demand the amount of any and all
costs and expenses, including the fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of the Collateral Agent’s
counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i)
the amendment, waiver or other modification or termination of this Agreement, (ii) the custody,
preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any
Pledged Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent
hereunder, or (iv) the failure by the Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.



          SECTION 11. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be mailed (by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt
requested), telecopied or delivered, if to the Pledgor, to the Pledgor as specified next to such
Pledgor’s signature below; if to the Borrower, at its address specified in Section 12.01 of the
Financing Agreement; or if to the Collateral Agent, to it at its address specified in Section 12.01
of the Financing Agreement; or as to any such Person at such other address as shall be designated
by such Person in a written notice to such other Person complying as to delivery with the terms of
this Section 11. All such notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed
(certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested), when received or three (3) days
after deposited in the mails, whichever occurs first, (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted and
confirmation received, or (iii) if delivered by hand, Federal Express or other reputable overnight
courier, upon delivery.




          SECTION 12. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Agents and the Lenders, all
Liens and all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective
of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Financing Agreement or any other agreement
or instrument relating thereto, (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in
any other term in respect of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or
consent to any departure from the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) any
exchange or release of, or non-perfection of any Lien on any Collateral, or any release or
amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any Guaranty, for all or any of the
Obligations, or (iv) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available
to, or a discharge of, the Pledgor in respect of the Obligations. All authorizations and agencies
contained herein with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled
with an interest.




          SECTION 13. Miscellaneous.




               (a) No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing
and signed by the Collateral Agent, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no
consent to any departure the Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and
signed by the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.



               (b) No failure on the part of any Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising,
any right hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or



12









 




further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the
Agents and the Lenders provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in
addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the
Agents and the Lenders under the applicable Loan Document against any party thereto are not
conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Agents or the Lenders to exercise any of their
rights under any other document against such party or against any other Person, including but not
limited to, the Pledgor.




               (c) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the
validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.



               (d) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in and Lien on the Pledged
Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full or
release of the Obligations after the termination of all of the Commitments and (ii) be binding on
each Pledgor and, by its acceptance hereof, the Collateral Agent, and its respective successors and
assigns, and shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders
hereunder, to the benefit of each of the Agents and the Lenders and their respective successors,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately
preceding sentence, without notice to the Pledgor, the Agents and the Lenders may assign or
otherwise transfer their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Loan
Document to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the
benefits in respect thereof granted to the Agents and the Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon any
such assignment or transfer, all references in this Agreement to any such Agent or Lender shall
mean the assignee of such Agent or Lender. None of the rights or obligations of the Pledgor
hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent, and any such assignment or transfer shall be null and void.



               (e) Upon the satisfaction in full of the Obligations after the termination of all of the
Commitments (i) this Agreement and the security interest and Lien created hereby shall terminate
and all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to the Pledgor, and (ii) the Collateral Agent
will, upon the Pledgor’s request and at the Pledgor’s expense, (A) return to the Pledgor such of
the Pledged Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to
the terms hereof, and (B) execute and deliver to the Pledgor, without recourse, representation or
warranty, such documents as the Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.



               (f) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties
hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such
counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of
this Agreement by telefacsimile or electronic mail shall be equally as effective as delivery of an
original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of
this Agreement by telefacsimile or electronic mail also shall deliver an original executed
counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not
affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.



13









 





               (g) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State
of New York, except as required by mandatory provisions of law and except to the extent that the
validity and perfection or the perfection and the effect of perfection or non-perfection of the
security interest and Lien created hereby, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular
Pledged Collateral are governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York.



               (h) ANY LEGAL ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT
RELATED THERETO MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK OR
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS THEREOF,
AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE PLEDGOR HEREBY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN
RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS.
THE PLEDGOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY
OBJECTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE
GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE
BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS AND CONSENTS TO
THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY THE COURT.



          (i) THE PLEDGOR AND (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT) THE COLLATERAL AGENT
WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, ARISING OUT
OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF
CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, VERBAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENT OR OTHER ACTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO.

     This Assignment of Beneficial Interests is made as of                     , 20___, by

(“Beneficiary”) for good and valuable consideration, in favor of

extend credit to the Trust as provided in the Loan Agreement, the Beneficiary has agreed to grant a
security interest in the Beneficiary’s beneficial interest in the Trust to the Lender in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Pledge Agreement.



     NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound and in consideration of the matters described in
the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof, and for
other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged,
Beneficiary and Lender hereby covenant and agree as follows:



          1. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Beneficiary hereby grants, gives, conveys and pledges to Lender
a first priority security interest in all of Beneficiary’s right, title and interest whether now
owned or hereafter acquired and wherever located, in and to the Collateral to secure the
Obligations and agrees that Lender shall have the rights stated in this Pledge Agreement with
respect to the Collateral, in addition to all other rights that Lender may have by law.




          2. COLLATERAL DESCRIPTION. The word “Collateral” means all of the Beneficiary’s right, title
and interest in and to the beneficial interests in the Trust, the Trust Agreement and the assets
held by the Trust under the Trust Agreement and any Financing Documents, including without
limitation the Trust’s entire beneficial interest in and to the Life Insurance Policy and the death
benefits payable thereunder, and all proceeds of all of the foregoing.




          3. BENEFICIARY’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL. With respect
to the Collateral, Beneficiary represents and warrants to Lender that:






 









 








               a. Ownership. On and after the Initial Premium Funding Date, the Beneficiary has, and will do
nothing to impair, full, complete and absolute ownership of the Collateral and all rights
thereunder free and clear of any Encumbrances, options, purchase rights or commitments of any kind
except as otherwise contemplated by the Financing Documents. Under the terms of the Trust, the
Beneficiary has, and shall do nothing to impair, the sole and absolute right, subject to the terms
of the Financing Documents, to pledge or assign such beneficial interests as collateral and receive
all proceeds and other amounts now or in the future due and payable in respect to the Collateral.
On and after the Initial Premium Funding Date, Beneficiary has not taken and shall not take, any
actions to provide any Person other than the Beneficiary any interest in or claim to the Collateral
other than as expressly provided in the Financing Documents.



               b. Right to Grant Security Interest. Beneficiary has the full right, power and authority to
enter into this Pledge Agreement and to grant a security interest, assignment and pledge of the
Collateral to Lender as provided herein, and this Pledge Agreement and the security interest
created by Beneficiary hereunder does not violate or breach, or result in the creation of an
Encumbrance under, the Trust Agreement or any other document, instrument, mortgage or agreement to
which Beneficiary is a party or to which its assets are bound.



               c. Trust Agreement. A true and correct copy of the Trust Agreement, including all amendments,
supplements and other modifications thereto, has been previously delivered by Trust to Lender. The
Trust Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement, enforceable by Beneficiary in accordance
with its terms.



               d. Consents. No consent, approval, authorization or other order or other action by, and no
notice to or filing with, the trustee of the Trust or any other person is required (i) for the
grant of the security interest by Beneficiary in the Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement
or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Pledge Agreement by Beneficiary, or (ii) for
the exercise by Lender of any of its rights provided for in this Pledge Agreement or the remedies
in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement.



               e. Due Authorization, Execution and Delivery; Valid and Binding Obligation. This Pledge
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Beneficiary and constitutes a legal,
valid and binding obligation of Beneficiary enforceable by Lender against Beneficiary in accordance
with its terms.



               f. No Prior Assignment. Beneficiary has not previously granted a security interest in any of
the Collateral to any other creditor or other person.



               g. No Further Transfer. Beneficiary shall not sell, assign, encumber, or otherwise dispose of
any of Beneficiary’s rights in the Collateral except as expressly provided in this Pledge
Agreement.



               h. No Defaults. There are no defaults relating to the Collateral, and there are no offsets or
counterclaims to the same. Beneficiary will strictly and promptly do everything required of
Beneficiary under the terms, conditions, promises, and agreements contained in or relating to the
Collateral.



2









 





               i. Proceeds. Any and all replacement or renewal certificates, instruments, or other benefits
or proceeds related to the Collateral that are received by Beneficiary shall be held by Beneficiary
in trust for Lender and immediately shall be delivered by Beneficiary to Lender to be held as part
of the Collateral.



               j. Location. Beneficiary’s primary office and principal place of business or residence if an
individual and the place where Beneficiary keeps Beneficiary’s records concerning the Collateral
are located at the address set forth in Section 9(i) below. If Beneficiary changes Beneficiary’s
name or address, or the name or address of any person granting a security interest under this
Pledge Agreement changes, Beneficiary will promptly notify the Lender of such change, but in no
event later than thirty (30) days following such change.



               k. Further Acts. Beneficiary will, at its sole expense, promptly execute, acknowledge and
deliver all such instruments and take all such actions as Lender from time to time may request in
order to ensure to Lender the benefits of its lien in and to the Collateral intended to be created
by this Pledge Agreement, including the filing of any necessary financing statements or
continuation statements, which may be filed by Lender with or (to the extent permitted by law)
without the signature of Beneficiary, and will cooperate with Lender, at Beneficiary’s expense, in
obtaining all necessary approvals and making all necessary filings under federal, state, local or
foreign law in connection with such lien or any sale or transfer of the Collateral.



          4. PERFECTION AND PROTECTION OF SECURITY. The Beneficiary makes the following
representations, warranties and covenants to the Lender from the Execution Date until the
Obligations are paid in full:




               a. (i) The pledgor’s right, title and interest in any Collateral is and shall be free from any
Encumbrance except for the security interest and lien created hereby and pursuant to the other
Financing Documents; and



                    (ii) The Pledgor shall not sell or otherwise dispose of, or pledge, mortgage or create, or
suffer to exist a lien on, the Collateral in favor of any person other than the Lender (except as
permitted in the Loan Agreement).



               b. The Beneficiary authorizes the Lender to file financing statements relating to the
Collateral under the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) containing the information set forth on
Schedule B hereto in the jurisdictions indicated in this Pledge Agreement or as otherwise
determined by the Lender. Subject to the filing of continuation statements in respect of such
financing statements required from time to time under the UCC, (i) the security interest in the
Collateral, to the extent the same can be perfected by filing of financing statements under the
UCC, constitutes and will constitute a perfected first priority security interest therein, subject
to no other Encumbrance which is perfected by filing of financing statements, and (ii) subject
further to the Lender’s obtaining and maintaining possession or control over Collateral as to which
a security interest can be perfected by possession or control under the UCC, the security interest
in the Collateral, to the extent the same can be perfected under the UCC, constitutes and will
constitute a perfected first priority security



3









 




interest therein, subject to no other Encumbrance; provided that continuation of such security
interest in the proceeds of the Collateral is limited by the provisions of Sections 9-203, 9-315
and 9-322 of the UCC.




               c. There is no financing statement naming the Beneficiary or any of its predecessors in
interest as debtor now on file or registered in any public office evidencing any Encumbrance on the
Collateral, or intended so to be and the Beneficiary (including any of its predecessors in
interest) has not filed or authorized the filing of, any financing statement relating to any of its
right, title or interest in or to any of the Collateral, except financing statements filed or to be
filed in respect of and covering the security interest and lien of the Lender granted and provided
for in this Pledge Agreement and the other Financing Documents.



               d. The Beneficiary shall cause the Trust to annotate its books and records to reflect the
pledge of the beneficial interests in the Trust effected by this Pledge Agreement.



               e. The Beneficiary shall ensure at all times that the Lender has “control” for purposes of
Section 8-106 of the UCC of all uncertificated instruments included within the Collateral. The
Beneficiary has caused the Trust to execute and deliver to the Lender on the date of this Pledge
Agreement a consent in the form attached hereto as Schedule C in order to comply with the
requirements of Section 8-106(c)(2) of the UCC to the extent beneficial interests in the Trust
constitute uncertificated securities for purposes of Article 8 of the UCC.



          5. LENDER’S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL.




               a. While this Pledge Agreement is in effect, Lender shall retain all of Beneficiary’s rights,
title and interest in the Collateral, together with any and all evidence of the Collateral, and
this Pledge Agreement will remain in effect until (a) there no longer is any Obligations owing to
Lender; and (b) all other obligations secured by this Pledge Agreement have been fulfilled. In
furtherance of the foregoing, the Beneficiary shall execute an Assignment of Beneficial Interests
in the form attached hereto as Schedule D contemporaneously with the execution of this Pledge
Agreement.



               b. Notwithstanding Section 4(a) above, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Beneficiary shall be entitled:



                    (i) to exercise, as it shall think fit, but in a manner not inconsistent with the terms hereof
and the terms of the other Financing Documents, any voting power with respect to the Collateral,
and for that purpose the Lender shall (if any securities pledged under this Agreement (each, a
“Pledged Security”) shall be registered in the name of the Lender or its nominee) execute or cause
to be executed from time to time, at the expense of the Beneficiary, such proxies or other
instruments in favor of the Beneficiary or its nominee, in such form and for such purposes as shall
be reasonably required by the Beneficiary and shall be specified in a written request therefor, to
enable it to exercise such voting power with respect to such Pledged Security; and



4









 





                    (ii) except as otherwise provided in Sections 4(c) and 4(d) hereof, to receive and retain for
its own account any and all payments, proceeds, dividends, distributions, monies, compensation,
property, assets, instruments or rights to the extent such are permitted pursuant to the terms of
the Loan Agreement, other than (x) stock or liquidating dividends or (y) extraordinary dividends
and dividends or other amounts payable under or in connection with any recapitalization,
restructuring, or other non ordinary course event (the dividends and amounts in this clause (y)
being “Extraordinary Payments”), paid, issued or distributed from time to time in respect of the
Collateral.



               c. Extraordinary Payments and Distributions.



                    (i) In case, upon the dissolution or liquidation (in whole or in part) of any issuer of any
Collateral, any sum shall be paid or payable as a liquidating dividend or otherwise upon or with
respect to any Pledged Security or, in the event any other Extraordinary Payment is paid or
payable, then and in any such event, such sum or Extraordinary Payment shall be paid by the
Beneficiary over to the Lender promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days after receipt
thereof, to be held by the Lender as additional collateral hereunder.



                    (ii) In case any stock dividend shall be declared with respect to any Pledged Security, or any
shares of stock or fractions thereof shall be issued pursuant to any stock split involving any
Pledged Security, or any distribution of capital shall be made on any of the Collateral, or any
shares, obligations or other property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Collateral,
in each case pursuant to a recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of the issuer
thereof, or pursuant to the dissolution, liquidation (in whole or in part), bankruptcy or
reorganization of such issuer, or to the merger or consolidation of such issuer with or into
another corporation, the shares, obligations, capital or other property so distributed shall be
delivered by the Beneficiary to the Lender promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days after
receipt thereof, to be held by the Lender as additional collateral hereunder subject to the terms
of this Pledge Agreement, and all of the same shall constitute Collateral for all purposes hereof.



               d. Voting Rights and Ordinary Payments After an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, all rights of the Beneficiary to exercise or
refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled
to exercise pursuant to Section 4(b)(i) hereof and to receive the payments, proceeds, dividends,
distributions, monies, compensation, property, assets, instruments or rights that the Beneficiary
would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii) hereof shall
cease, and thereupon the Lender shall be entitled to exercise all voting power with respect to any
Pledged Security and to receive and retain, as additional collateral hereunder, any and all
payments, proceeds, dividends, distributions, monies, compensation, property, assets, instruments
or rights at any time declared or paid upon any of the Collateral during such an Event of Default
and otherwise to act with respect to the Collateral as outright owner thereof.



               e. All Payments in Trust. All payments, proceeds, dividends, distributions, monies,
compensation, property, assets, instruments or rights that are received by the Beneficiary contrary
to the provisions of Section 4 hereof shall be received and held in trust



5









 




for the benefit of the Lender, shall be segregated by the Beneficiary from other funds of the
Beneficiary and shall be forthwith paid over to the Lender as Collateral in the same form as so
received (with any necessary endorsement).




          6. LENDER’S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially
affect Lender’s interest in the Collateral or if Beneficiary fails to comply with any provision of
this Pledge Agreement or any Financing Documents, including but not limited to Beneficiary’s
failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts Beneficiary is required to discharge or pay under
this Pledge Agreement or any Financing Documents, Lender on Beneficiary’s behalf may (but shall not
be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to
discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any
time levied or placed on the Collateral and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and
preserving the Collateral. All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will
then bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of
repayment by Trust. All such expenses will become a part of the Obligations and, at Lender’s
option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the Total Amount Due and be apportioned
among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any
applicable insurance Life Insurance Policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Loan Agreement; or (C)
be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Maturity Date. The liens
created under this Pledge Agreement also will secure payment of these amounts. Such right shall
be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon an Event of
Default.




          7. LIMITATIONS ON OBLIGATIONS OF LENDER. Lender shall use ordinary reasonable care in the
physical preservation and custody of the Collateral to the extent in the possession of the Lender
but shall have no other obligation to protect the Collateral or its value. In particular, but
without limitation, Lender shall have no responsibility (A) for the collection or protection of any
income on the Collateral (other than any death benefits paid or payable under the Life Insurance
Policy and any interest or payments in the nature of interest which may be paid or become due in
respect thereto); (B) for the preservation of rights against issuers of the Collateral or against
third persons (other than the Insurer); (C) for ascertaining any maturities, conversions,
exchanges, offers, tenders, or similar matters relating to the Collateral other than the Life
Insurance Policy; nor (D) for informing the Beneficiary about any of the above, whether or not
Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters.




          8. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or at any
time thereafter, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies in
respect of the Collateral, in addition to any rights or remedies that may be available at law, in
equity, or otherwise:




               a. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender may
exercise, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to
it, all rights of voting, exercise and conversion with respect to the Collateral and all of the
rights and remedies of a collateral agent on default under the UCC at that time (whether or not
applicable to the affected Collateral) and may also, without obligation to resort to other
security, at any time and from time to time sell, resell, assign and deliver, in its sole
discretion, all or any of the Collateral, in one or more parcels at the same or different times,



6









 




and all right, title and interest, claim and demand therein and right of redemption thereof,
on any securities exchange on which any Collateral may be listed, or at public or private sale, for
cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and in connection therewith the Lender may grant options.




               b. If any of the Collateral is sold upon credit or for future delivery, the Lender shall not
be liable for the failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any
such failure, the Lender may resell such Collateral. In no event shall the Beneficiary be credited
with any part of the proceeds of sale of any Collateral until cash payment therefor has actually
been received by the Lender.



               c. The Lender may purchase any Collateral at any public sale and, if any Collateral is of a
type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of the type that is the subject of widely
distributed standard price quotations, the Lender may purchase such Collateral at private sale, and
in each case may make payment therefor by any means, including, without limitation, by release or
discharge of Obligations in lieu of cash payment.



               d. The Beneficiary recognizes that the Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of all or
part of the Collateral consisting of securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or in applicable Blue Sky or other state
securities laws, as now or hereafter in effect, but may be compelled to resort to one or more
private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things,
to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or resale thereof. The Beneficiary agrees that any such Collateral sold at any such
private sale may be sold at a price and upon other terms less favorable to the seller than if sold
at public sale and that each such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner. The Lender shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any such securities
for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities, even if such issuer would
agree, to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act. The Beneficiary
agrees that private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made
in a commercially reasonable manner.



               e. No demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are hereby expressly waived, shall be
required in connection with any sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral that
threatens to decline speedily in value or that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
market; otherwise the Lender shall give the Beneficiary at least ten (10) days’ prior notice of the
time and place of any public sale and of the time after which any private sale or other disposition
is to be made, which notice the Beneficiary agrees is commercially reasonable.



               f. The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral if it shall determine not
to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given. The Lender may, without
notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from
time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.



7









 





               g. The remedies provided herein in favor of the Lender shall not be deemed exclusive, but
shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to all other remedies in favor of the Lender existing
at law or in equity.



               h. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Lender to exercise remedies in a
commercially reasonable manner, the Beneficiary acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially
unreasonable for the Lender (i) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or
media of general circulation; (ii) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as
the Beneficiary, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral;
(iii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral; (iv)
to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the
types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match
buyers and sellers of assets; (v) to disclaim disposition warranties, or (vi) to the extent deemed
appropriate by the Lender, to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants and
other professionals to assist the Lender in the disposition of any of the Collateral. The
Beneficiary acknowledges that the purpose of this clause (h) is to provide non-exhaustive
indications of what actions or omissions by the Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in
the Lender’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the
Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in
this clause (h). Without limiting the foregoing, nothing contained in this clause (h) shall be
construed to grant any rights to the Beneficiary or to impose any duties on the Lender that would
not have been granted or imposed by this Pledge Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of
this clause (h).



               i. The Lender’s prior recourse to any Collateral shall not constitute a condition of any
demand, suit or proceeding for payment or collection of the Obligations.



          9. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of this
Pledge Agreement:




               a. Amendments. This Pledge Agreement, together with the Loan Agreement, and all Financing
Documents, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the matters set
forth in this Pledge Agreement. No alteration of or amendment to this Pledge Agreement shall be
effective unless given in writing and signed by the party or parties sought to be charged or bound
by the alteration or amendment.



               b. Arbitration. All controversies or disputes arising out of or in connection with this Pledge
Agreement (“Disputes”) shall be resolved pursuant to this Section 9a.



                    (i) All Disputes shall in the first instance be discussed amicably between the parties with a
view to resolving such Dispute, commencing upon one party giving other parties written notice of
such Dispute. In the event that such Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after such
notice (or such longer period as the parties may agree in writing with respect to any such
Dispute), any party may submit such Dispute to be finally settled by arbitration administered under
the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”) by a panel
of three arbitrators sitting in [                    ]. One



8









 




arbitrator shall be nominated by the party initiating arbitration at the time of the filing of
its demand for arbitration, the second arbitrator shall be nominated by the opposing party(ies) at
the time of the filing of its answering statement, and the third arbitrator (who shall act as
chairman) shall be jointly nominated by party-nominated arbitrators if they are able to agree. If
the first two party nominated arbitrators are unable to agree upon a third within thirty (30) days
after the nomination of the second, or if either party fails to nominate an arbitrator as set forth
herein, an arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the Rules. The award of the arbitrators shall
be final and binding upon the parties, and shall not be subject to any appeal or review. The
parties agree that such award may be recognized and enforced in any court of competent
jurisdiction. The parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state
courts sitting in [                    ], for the sole purpose of enforcing this Pledge Agreement (including,
where appropriate, issuing injunctive relief), the agreement to arbitrate contained herein and any
award resulting from arbitration pursuant to this Section and, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, waive any objection which they may have at any time to the laying of venue of any proceedings
brought in such court and any claim that such proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient
forum.




                    (ii) The Lender and Beneficiary further agree that no claim may be brought as a class action,
and that the Lender and Beneficiary do not have the right to act, nor shall they attempt to act, as
a class representative or participate as a member of a class of claimants with respect to any claim
related to or arising out of this Pledge Agreement. To the extent that this arbitration provision
is held unenforceable, the Lender and Beneficiary: (i) irrevocably submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in [                    ] in respect of any action or
proceeding arising under or related to in any manner whatsoever this Pledge Agreement or the
transactions contemplated under this Pledge Agreement, (ii) agree that this Pledge Agreement and
the transactions contemplated by the Financing Arrangement shall in all respects be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of [                    ] (without reference to conflicts
of laws provisions) and (iii) HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY
CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, SETOFF, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY
RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR (II) IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH OR PERTAINING OR RELATED TO OR
INCIDENTAL TO ANY DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS PLEDGE
AGREEMENT, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, AND CONSENT OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY PARTY’S RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, OR THE CONDUCT OR THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES
HERETO, IN ALL OF THE FOREGOING CASES WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that this
provision is intended to encompass any dispute between any Party to this Pledge Agreement and any
interested third party.



                    (iii) In any arbitral proceeding arising under this Pledge Agreement, the parties agree that
they will engage in cooperative discovery, to be supervised by the arbitral tribunal. In its
discretion, the tribunal may order the exchange of documents in the custody or control of parties
to this Pledge Agreement, and may order a limited number of party



9









 




depositions of one (1) day’s duration each if requested by the opposing party and if the
tribunal finds that such depositions would contribute to the efficient development of evidence.




               c. Attorneys’ Fees; Expenses. Beneficiary agrees to pay upon demand all of Lender’s costs
and expenses, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and Lender’s legal expenses, incurred
in connection with the enforcement of this Pledge Agreement. Lender may hire or pay someone else to
help enforce this Pledge Agreement, and Beneficiary shall pay the costs and expenses of such
enforcement. Costs and expenses include Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses
whether or not there is a lawsuit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses for
bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction),
appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. Beneficiary also shall pay all
court costs and such additional fees as may be directed by the court.



               d. Indemnification. The Beneficiary hereby releases the Lender and its officers,
shareholders, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from any claims,
causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to this Pledge Agreement,
the Obligations, the Collateral and its use and/or any actions taken or omitted to be taken by such
Indemnified Party with respect thereto (except such claims, causes of action and demands arising
from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party) and the
Beneficiary hereby agrees to hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and with respect to any and
all such claims, causes of action and demands (except such claims, causes of action and demands
arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party).



               e. Caption Headings. Caption headings in this Pledge Agreement are for convenience purposes
only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions of this Pledge Agreement.



               f. Governing Law. THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
[                    ] WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS. LENDER HAS ACCEPTED THIS PLEDGE
AGREEMENT IN THE STATE OF [                    ].



               g. Marshalling. The Lender shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral
security (including but not limited to this Pledge Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other
assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security
or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights hereunder and in
respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in
addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, the
Beneficiary hereby agrees that it shall not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of
collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Lender’s rights under this
Pledge Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or
under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or
payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, the Beneficiary
hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.



10









 





               h. No Waiver by Lender. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
Pledge Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No delay or omission
on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other
right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Pledge Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute
a waiver of Lender’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other
provision of this Pledge Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between
Lender and Beneficiary, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights or of any of
Beneficiary’s obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is
required under this Pledge Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall
not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all
cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.

transfer of Beneficiary’s interest, this Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns. If ownership of the Collateral becomes

its capacity as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) by [TRUST-NAME], a [JURISDICTION]
life insurance trust (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Assignor”).



     WHEREAS, pursuant to a Loan Application and Agreement between [LENDER-NAME], a Florida limited
liability company (including any application and assignees thereof, the “Lender”) and Assignor
dated [DATE] (the “Loan Agreement”), the Lender has made an initial loan in the amount of
[FIRST-YEAR-PREMIUM] (the “Loan”) to the Assignor as evidenced by a Promissory Note dated
[DATE] (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Promissory Note”);



     WHEREAS, the Assignor is the sole owner of the Life Policy (as defined below);



     WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to the Lender’s obligations under the Promissory Note and
Loan Agreement to make the Loan to the Assignor, the Lender requires the Assignor to execute and
deliver this Assignment to the Collateral Agent;



     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter
contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:


1. DEFINITIONS. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the
respective meanings specified in the Loan Agreement.



2. COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT.  For value received, the Assignor hereby
assigns, transfers, pledges and grants all of the Assignor’s claims, options, privileges, rights,
title and interest in, to and under the life insurance policy described below to the Collateral
Agent:



Policy No.: [POLICY-NUMBER]



Issued by: [INSURER] (“Insurer”)



Insured: [INSURED] (“Insured”)



and any and all applications, riders, endorsements, supplements, amendments, renewals and all
other documents that modify or otherwise affect the terms and conditions of such policy issued in
connection therewith, and any and all proceeds thereof (said policy,





 









 







contracts, other documents and proceeds are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Life
Policy”), subject to all the terms and conditions of this Assignment. This Assignment
includes, without limitation, assignment of the following rights:





	 	(a)	 	the sole right to collect from the Insurer the net proceeds of the Life
Policy payable upon the death of the Insured or maturity of the Life Policy;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the sole right to surrender, in whole or in part, the Life Policy and receive
the surrender value thereof at any time provided by the terms of such Life Policy and
at such other times as the Insurer may allow, and the sole right to exercise any and
all other rights permitted by the terms of the Life Policy or allowed by the Insurer
and to receive all benefits and advantages derived therefrom;
	 
	 	(c)	 	the sole right to obtain any loans or advances on the Life Policy at any
time, either from the Insurer or from other persons or entities, and to pledge or
assign the Life Policy as security for such loans or advances;
	 
	 	(d)	 	the sole right to further assign the Collateral Agent’s rights under the Life
Policy to any person and for any purpose;
	 
	 	(e)	 	the sole right to collect and receive all distributions, credited earnings,
any shares of surplus, dividend deposits or additions to and other proceeds of the
Life Policy now or hereafter made or apportioned thereto, and to exercise any and all
rights and options contained in the Life Policy with respect thereto and to determine
the amount of premium or other amount paid with respect to any feature of the Life
Policy permitting such a right or option;
	 
	 	(f)	 	the sole right to request that the Insurer amend the Life Policy;
	 
	 	(g)	 	the sole right to any and all contract rights, arising from or relating to
the Life Policy, and any and all payment rights, and the other rights listed above,
existing with respect thereto;
	 
	 	(h)	 	the sole right to exercise any and all amendment, voting, or nonforfeiture
rights or privileges to the extent created or endowed by the Life Policy and the right
to apply for and maintain waiver of premium or conversion of the Life Policy;
	 
	 	(i)	 	the sole right to return the Life Policy for cancellation or redemption; and
	 
	 	(j)	 	the sole right to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or
advisable to maintain the Life Policy in force.




Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right to elect any optional mode of settlement permitted by the
Life Policy or allowed by the Insurer is reserved and excluded from this Assignment and does not
pass by virtue hereof, but the reservation of this right shall in no






2









 







way impair the right of the Collateral Agent to surrender the Life Policy completely with all its
incidents or impair any other right of the Collateral Agent hereunder, and any election of a mode
of settlement shall be made subject to this Assignment and to the rights of the Collateral Agent
hereunder.



It is expressly agreed that the following specific rights may not be exercised while this
Assignment is in effect, except with the consent of the Assignor and Collateral Agent:





	 	(a)	 	The right to change the death benefit option;
	 
	 	(b)	 	The right to change the face amount; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	The right to add or delete any riders or other policy benefits, which are
permitted by the terms of the Life Policy.




It is further agreed that the Collateral Agent will not exercise either the right to surrender the
Life Policy or request a partial withdrawal, or otherwise act under this Assignment, until there
has been a default in any of the Obligations (as defined below), and the Collateral Agent has
mailed, by first class mail to the Assignor to the address set forth in Section 10(f), notice of
intention to exercise such right, and three days have elapsed after the date such notice has been
mailed by the Collateral Agent.



3. OBLIGATIONS SECURED. This Assignment is made, and the Life Policy is
to be held, as collateral security for all present and future obligations of the Assignor to the
Lender under the Loan Agreement and Promissory Note (including, without limitation, all rights of
the Lender to receive the outstanding principal amounts, accrued interest and other fees and
charges due thereunder) and all liabilities, obligations, covenants, duties, and indebtedness owing
by the Assignor to the Collateral Agent under this Assignment (all of which obligations of the
Assignor to the Lender/Collateral Agent secured or to become secured hereby are herein called the
“Obligations”). For purposes of this Assignment, the term “Obligations” shall also
include, without limitation, interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such
proceeding.



4. BENEFITS PAYMENT DIRECTIVE. The Assignor hereby authorizes and
directs the Insurer to pay any and all periodic payments and other amounts, including, without
limitation, death benefits, due or that become due and payable under or on account of the Life
Policy either to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent directs in writing;
provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph entitles the Collateral Agent to
retain more than the amount of the Obligations.

a party or by which it or its assets are bound;
	 
	 	(c)	 	this Assignment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the

any security interest, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, assignment, deposit
arrangement, encumbrance, lien (statutory or other), or preference, priority or
other security agreement, option or preferential arrangement of any kind or nature
whatsoever (including, without limitation, any conditional sale or other title

4









 






     (vii) to the Assignor’s actual knowledge, the Life Policy is not subject to

applicable law or otherwise, or the application to be made by the Collateral Agent of
any amounts to be paid to the Collateral Agent; the sole signature of the Collateral
Agent shall be sufficient for the exercise of any rights under the Life Policy
assigned hereby and the sole receipt by the Collateral Agent of any sums shall be a
full discharge and release therefor to the Insurer; wire transfers or checks for all

interest at rate set forth in the Promissory Note;
	 
	 	(d)	 	the exercise of any right, option, privilege or power given to the Collateral

sole cost and expense, preserve and keep in full force the Life Policy until the
Obligations have been satisfied in full pursuant to the terms of the Promissory Note;
	 
	 	(h)	 	the Assignor shall not take any action in contravention of the Collateral

Documents.
	 
	 	(i)	 	the Assignor shall not, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or

7. TERMINATION. Upon the final and irrevocable payment and satisfaction
in full of all of the Obligations, this Assignment and the security interests created hereunder
shall automatically terminate.



8. LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY; STANDARD OF CARE.





	 	(a)	 	The Assignor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent
and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and
stead of such Assignor and in the name of such Assignor or in its own name, from time
to time at the Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the limited purpose of carrying out
the terms of this Assignment, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute
and deliver any and all documents and instruments that the Collateral Agent




7









 






	 	 	 	may deem necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Assignment and
to effectuate any right assigned to the Collateral Agent under this Assignment
(including, without limitation, the right to transfer or direct the transfer of the
Life Policy or the proceeds thereof to the Collateral Agent upon the sole signature
of the Collateral Agent) or Lender under the Promissory Note, as the case may be;
provided, however, that nothing in this Assignment shall obligate the Collateral
Agent to protect the interests of the Assignor or any other person or entity in or
under the Life Policy.






	 	(b)	 	The Assignor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that any
said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. The power of
attorney granted pursuant to this Assignment, being coupled with an interest, shall be
irrevocable until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full (in the case of
payment obligations) and otherwise satisfied and discharged.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 8 are
solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interests in the Life Policy and shall not
impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. For the
avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Agent to take any
action with respect to the Life Policy, including, without limitation, selling,
transferring or disposing of the Life Policy, and the Collateral Agent shall have the
right to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable to maintain
the Life Policy in full force in accordance with its terms.
	 
	 	(d)	 	The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the Life Policy shall be to
use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any documents or instruments in
the Collateral Agent’s possession evidencing such Life Policy in the same manner as
the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The Collateral
Agent shall not be responsible to the Assignor except for the Collateral Agent’s own
gross negligence or willful misconduct.
	 
	 	(e)	 	The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for filing any financing or
continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office
at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any
security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable or
responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by
reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or
bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith. The Collateral Agent shall not
be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for
the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the liens in any of the
Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or
omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent




8









 






	 	 	 	such action or omission constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of
the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein or for the payment
of taxes, charges, assessments or liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the
maintenance of the Collateral.




9. NO WAIVER. Any forbearance or failure or delay by the Collateral
Agent in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such
right, power or remedy, and any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy shall not
preclude the further exercise thereof. The Collateral Agent may take or release other security,
may release any party primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, may grant
extensions, renewals or indulgences with respect to the Obligations, or may apply to the
Obligations in such order as the Collateral Agent shall determine the proceeds of the Life Policy
hereby assigned or any amount received on account of the Life Policy by the exercise of any right
permitted under this Assignment, without resorting or regard to other security or any guaranty. No
waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless it shall be in writing and signed by the
Collateral Agent.



10. MISCELLANEOUS.





	 	(a)	 	Counterparts. This Assignment may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall constitute an original and together shall constitute one and the
same instrument.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Assignment. This Assignment shall be binding upon the Assignor and its
successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its
successors and assigns.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Arbitration. Any claims, questions or controversies arising under or related
to in any manner whatsoever this Assignment or the transactions contemplated hereunder
including, but not limited to, any challenge by the Assignor, the Insured, or the
Insured’s estate or subrogees (each, a “Assignor Party”) against the Collateral Agent,
Lender or any other party with a participation in the loan evidenced under the
Promissory Note (each, an “Interested Party”, notwithstanding the fact such parties
are not signatories hereto) (a “Dispute”) shall be submitted to arbitration conducted
before the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). Any Assignor Party or any
Interested Party is hereby authorized to invoke this arbitration provision, and any
judgment with respect to any award rendered pursuant to this arbitration provision may
be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such arbitration will be conducted
under the rules of the AAA and the laws of the State of [JURISDICTION] and will be

Life Insurance Policy, and the Payment Dates with respect to such premium payments, are defined and
set forth on Schedule “A” attached hereto.



     C. In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Lender and Trust have agreed that to the extent
that monies advanced under the Loan Agreement are to be used to pay Second Year Premiums and Third
Year Premiums on the Life Insurance Policy, such additional advanced amounts shall be deposited
into escrow and held therein until needed to pay subsequent premiums that may become due under the
Life Insurance Policy.



     D. The Lender intends to finance the loans to the Trust in part by an affiliate obtaining
loans pursuant to that certain Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”), dated as of
                    , 2009, among Imperial Life Financing II, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, the
lenders from time to time party thereto (together with their successors and assigns, the “Financing
Lenders”) and CTL Holdings II LLC, as collateral agent and administrative agent for the Financing

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby expressly acknowledged, the Trust, Lender and the

writing, by Lender and Escrow Agent. Such compensation shall be fully earned when due and

writ or other form of judicial or administrative process which in any way affects any Escrow

levies or injunctions or stays related to the transfer of any Escrow Funds), Escrow Agent is
authorized to comply therewith in any manner as it or its legal counsel of its own choosing
deems appropriate; and if Escrow Agent complies with any such judicial or administrative
order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process, Escrow

though such order, judgment, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or vacated
or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect.

funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured or
provided to it.




(l) Escrow Agent will be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action
relating to this Agreement.



4









 






(m) The Escrow Agent shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any
litigation under this Agreement or otherwise or in relation to this Agreement, even if at
the request, order or direction of the Lender, the Trust and/or the Agent, unless the
Lender, the Trust and/or the Agent, as the case may be, has or have offered to the Escrow
Agent security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
liabilities that may be incurred by the Escrow Agent therein or thereby.




(n) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Escrow
Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of
the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.




(o) Escrow Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the Escrow Agent
shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is
likely to result in liability on the part of the Escrow Agent or is contrary to the terms
hereof or is otherwise contrary to law.




(p) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall have no
liability whatsoever for the actions of the Lender, the Trust or the Agent hereunder or
under the Loan Agreement and, except as expressly set forth herein, shall have no duty to
determine the compliance by either thereof with the terms hereof or thereof.




(q) In the exercise of its rights and powers and in the performance of its duties and
obligations under this Agreement, Escrow Agent: (i) may act directly or through its agents,
attorneys, custodians or nominees pursuant to agreements entered into with any of them, and
although Escrow Agent shall be responsible for all obligations of Escrow Agent hereunder,

custodians or nominees if such agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees shall have been
selected by Escrow Agent in good faith, and (ii) may consult with counsel, accountants and
other skilled professionals to be selected in good faith and employed by it. Escrow Agent
shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance

no officer or agent of Escrow Agent has any actual knowledge that such opinion or advice is
inappropriate or based on incorrect information.



     7. Escrow Agent’s Right to Request Further Instructions. Whenever the Escrow Agent is
unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this
Agreement, or is unsure as to the application, intent, interpretation or meaning of any provision
of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be
appropriate under the circumstances) to the Lender and Agent requesting instruction as to the
course of action to be adopted, and, to the extent the Escrow Agent acts in good faith in
accordance with any such instruction received, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable on account of
such action to any person or party. In the event that the Escrow Agent receives instructions from
both the Lender and the Agent, the instructions from the Agent shall control. If the Escrow Agent
shall not have received appropriate instructions within ten (10) calendar days of sending such
notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice



5









 




or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or
refrain from taking such action which is consistent, in its view, with this Agreement, and the
Escrow Agent shall have no liability to any party or person for any such action or inaction.




     8. Underlying Disputes Concerning Escrow. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for
payment of any interest or any court cost in any action that may be brought to recover the funds
held in escrow, except as expressly provided herein. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
obligate Escrow Agent to deliver any funds unless Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall
have first received the same and not otherwise paid out such funds in accordance with written
instruction under this Agreement. In the event of any dispute or other circumstance sufficient in
the sole discretion of Escrow Agent to justify its doing so, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to
tender the Escrow Funds and any earnings thereon, into the registry of custody of any court of
competent jurisdiction, together with such legal pleadings as it may deem appropriate, and
thereupon be discharged from all further duties and liabilities under this Agreement. Any such
legal action may be brought in such court as Escrow Agent may determine to have jurisdiction
thereof.



     9. Indemnification of Escrow Agent.The Lender and the Trust, jointly and severally,
agree to hold the Escrow Agent, its officers, directors, shareholders and employees (each, an
“Indemnified Person”) harmless and agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify each Indemnified
Person from and against any loss, liability, expense (including but not limited to reasonable
attorney’s fees and expenses), claims or demands arising out of or in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby, except for the Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct. IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENT OF THE PARTIES THAT, FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS PARAGRAPH,
CLAIMS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF LENDER AND TRUST TO DEFEND, PROTECT, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS,
WILL INCLUDE, BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO, CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM ESCROW AGENT’S SOLE OR
CONCURRENT (1) NEGLIGENCE, (2) STRICT LIABILITY, OR (3) OTHER FAULT OF ANY NATURE, provided that
there shall be no obligation to defend, indemnify or hold Escrow Agent harmless from any claims
arising out of or resulting from Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
foregoing indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent pursuant hereto and
the termination of this Agreement.



     10. Representations and Warranties of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent represents and
warrants to Lender, Trust and Agent, as of the Agreement date, and as of each date it accepts funds
to be held in escrow hereunder, as follows:




(a) Escrow Agent is organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of
America, with the right to perform all of its obligations hereunder;




(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Escrow Agent have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of Escrow Agent; and




(c) This Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Escrow Agent enforceable by
Lender and Agent against Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, except as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,



6









 







reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or
by general principles of equity.



     11. Resignation, Removal and Replacement of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent may resign or
be removed by Agent and be discharged from performing any future duties hereunder, and a successor
Escrow Agent shall be appointed by the Agent. Escrow Agent shall present Lender, Trust and Agent
with prompt written notice of such resignation, and Agent shall provide to Escrow Agent prompt
written notice of the appointment of each successor Escrow Agent. No resignation or removal of
Escrow Agent shall become effective until the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent hereunder and
the acceptance by such successor of the duties of Escrow Agent hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if no replacement Escrow Agent is appointed in accordance with this Section 11 within
thirty (30) days after Escrow Agent gives written notice to Lender, Trust and Agent of its
resignation or Escrow Agent has been notified of its removal, the Escrow Agent may, at the joint
and several expense of the Lender and Trust, petition, any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of its successor.



     12. Income Tax Reporting. The parties agree that, for tax reporting purposes, all
interest or other income from investment of the Escrow Funds shall, as of the end of each calendar
year and to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Service be reported as having been earned
by the Trust whether or not income was disbursed during a particular year. The Trust shall provide

HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT

[TRUST-NAME]




     The undersigned Grantor and each undersigned Beneficiary release and agree to hold harmless
the Insurance Agent [AGENT], the Trustee of the [TRUST-NAME], (the “Trust”), for any and all
actions, acts or inactions of the Insurance Agent and the Trustee in connection with the issuance
and/or maintenance of any insurance policy(ies) acquired or held by the Trust, the administration
of the Trust or any other matters related thereto, except for dishonesty or intentional fraud, and
understand and agree that in the event the Trust assets are sold or liquidated on account of any
default under any loan agreement or other indebtedness (“Policy Loan”) there are no guarantees as
to the amount of the net proceeds therefrom except that the Trust shall pay to the Beneficiaries
the amounts, if any, in excess of full satisfaction under any loan agreement or indebtedness in the
event of (a) the Grantor’s death or (b) the termination of the Trust. NOTWITHSTANDING, THE GRANTOR
AND EACH BENEFICIARY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR GUARANTEES OF ANY KIND THAT
THERE WILL BE ANY FUNDS TO DISTRIBUTE TO THE BENEFICIARIES AFTER THE PAYMENT OF ANY INDEBTEDNESS.



     The Grantor and each Beneficiary understand that neither the Trustee nor the Insurance Agent
nor any other person is rendering legal or tax advice by virtue of the Trust or acquisition or
financing of the life insurance policy, and that the Grantor and each Beneficiary are urged to
consult their own advisors, AS THE TRUST IS NOT A COMPLETE ESTATE PLANNING DOCUMENT.



     The Grantor and each Beneficiary also represent that the only understanding, obligations and
representations of any person in connection with the Trust and/or the acquisition and/or financing
of the life insurance policy that are of any validity, force or effect are those in writing and
that no oral statement or representation to the contrary is of any force or effect, and there are
no other terms, conditions, or understandings whatsoever of any kind or nature concerning the
purchase, financing, or acquisition of any life insurance policy, the subject matter of the Trust,
and that any other such term, condition, or understanding is of no force or effect.



     The Grantor and each Beneficiary also represent that the insurance applied for and owned or to
be owned by the Trust was applied for and/or obtained not for investment but rather for estate
preservation purposes and the ability to leverage the money of Lender will allow the Trust to
purchase the Policy that will have a high death benefit option. This will (a) allow Grantor and
the representative of Grantor’s estate the ability to protect against significant estate tax
consequences that Grantor’s estate may face given the current state of the law, (b) will provide
Grantor’s estate with certain protection in the event estate tax liability should arise, and (c)
permit Grantor to be able to protect the Beneficiaries from certain potential expenses that they
would otherwise sustain without the liquidity that the Policy will offer.

THIS GUARANTY is entered into as of [DATE] by the undersigned (the “Guarantor”), in favor
of and for the benefit of [LENDER-NAME], a Florida limited liability company (which for all

[DATE] (the “Loan Agreement”), the Lender has made an initial loan in the amount of
[FIRST-YEAR-PREMIUM] (the “Loan”) to the Trust as evidenced by the Promissory Note dated [DATE] (as
amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Note”). The proceeds of the Loan were
used to pay or reimburse for the premiums due under life insurance policy number [POLICY-NUMBER]
issued by [INSURER] (the “Insurer”) on the life of [INSURED] in the face amount of
[NET-DEATH-BENEFIT] (the “Policy”).



The Guarantor, as grantor of the Borrower, acknowledges and agrees that the Guarantor has received
and will receive direct and indirect benefits from the extension of the Loan made to the Borrower.
Any capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the definitions accorded to
such terms in the Loan Agreement.

Guaranty shall result in liability to the Guarantor only in the event that any of the following
shall occur (each of which shall be identified as a “Default”):



          (a) Any act (or omission to act) of fraud or willful misconduct on the part of the Guarantor,
or any other action or inaction by the Guarantor, that impairs the Lender’s ability to be repaid
under the Note or otherwise under the Loan;




          (b) Any act (or omission to act) of the Guarantor that directly or indirectly impairs the
Lender’s rights to the Policy as collateral under the terms of the Loan, the Note, any Financing
Document and/or the Collateral Assignment;




          (c) Any failure of the Borrower to use the proceeds of the Loan exclusively as set forth in
the Note, the Financing Documents or any other documents related to the Loan;




          (d) Any act by the Borrower or the Guarantor to transfer, amend, change ownership of, cancel,
convey, sell or assign the Policy or any interest therein without the express written consent of
the Lender;




          (e) Any failure to act by the Borrower or the Guarantor that results, directly or indirectly,
in the transfer of the Policy or any interest therein or any amendment, change of ownership,
cancellation, conveyance, sale or assignment thereof, except with the express written consent of
the Lender;




          (f) [Any default in payment of, or failure to pay any, interest, principal or other amounts
which become due under the Note or Loan;] [OPTIONAL]






 









 








          (g) The breach of any representation, warranty or covenant by the Guarantor contained in the
Collateral Assignment or in any Financing Document;




          (h) Any act or action by any Beneficiary or any other person asserting to be a beneficiary
under the Trust Agreement that impairs, delays or interferes with the Lender’s rights to have
ownership of the Life Insurance Policy transferred to it or its designee following an Event of
Default and a foreclosure by the Lender on the beneficial ownership interests in the Borrower
pursuant to the Pledge Agreement; and




          (i) Any failure of the Borrower, the Guarantor or any beneficiary of the Borrower who directly
or indirectly receives any payment from the Insurer prior to the repayment of the Loan, to pay or
cause to be paid to the Lender all or such portion of such payment necessary to repay the entire
outstanding balance of the Loan and any other outstanding amounts under the Financing Documents,
together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other charges and expenses payable to
the Lender under the terms of the Note, the Financing Documents and any other documents related to
the Loan.




          Upon the occurrence of a Default, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
guarantees to the Lender, the due and punctual payment when due of all liabilities and all other
amounts outstanding or due to be paid to the Lender under, in connection with or related to, the
Loan and any other agreements entered into with respect thereto (including the Financing
Documents), including but not limited to outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest
under the Note, any early termination fees, costs and expenses payable to the Lender (including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) in the event of an uncured default under the Loan
or any Financing Document, as well as any and all costs and expenses of the Lender to enforce this
Guaranty (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees), whether or not (i) due or
owing to, or in favor or for the benefit of, the Lender, or (ii) ARISING OR ACCRUING BEFORE OR
AFTER THE FILING BY OR AGAINST THE GUARANTOR OF A PETITION UNDER THE BANKRUPTCY CODE OR ANY SIMILAR
FILING BY OR AGAINST THE GUARANTOR, AS THE CASE MAY BE, UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OR (c)
ALLOWABLE UNDER SECTION 502(b)(2) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE (collectively, the “Guaranteed
Obligations”).




          Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event liability under this Guaranty results solely as a
result of a Default as described in Section 1(g), the Guarantor’s liability shall be limited to
100% of the amount outstanding or due under the Guaranteed Obligations.




     2. Waiver.



          (a) The Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law: (i) notice of any of the matters referred to in Section 1 hereof; (ii) all notices
which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve any rights against the
Guarantor hereunder, including, without limitation, notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty, or
the creation, renewal, extension, modification or accrual of the Guaranteed Obligations or notice
of any other matters relating thereto, any presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest,
nonpayment of any damages or other amounts payable under any Financing Document; (iii) any
requirement for the enforcement, assertion or exercise of any right, remedy,





 









 







power or privilege under or in respect of any Financing Document, including, without
limitation, diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon the Guaranteed Obligations
or any part thereof or any collateral therefor; (iv) any requirement of diligence; (v) any
requirement to mitigate the damages resulting from a default by the Borrower under the Note or any
Financing Document; (vi) the occurrence of every other condition precedent to which the Guarantor
or the Borrower may otherwise be entitled; (vii) the right to require the Lender to proceed against
the Borrower or any other person liable on the Guaranteed Obligations, to proceed against or
exhaust any security held by the Borrower or any other person, or to pursue any other remedy in the
Lender’s power whatsoever; (viii) the right to have the property of the Borrower first applied to
the discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ix) any lack of validity or enforceability in the
Note or any other Financing Document, (x) any exchange or release of, or non-perfection of any
collateral securing, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (xi) any release, amendment or
waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty or any document relating to any security
for or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; (xii) any other circumstances which might
otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, the Guarantor; or (xiii) any and all
rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement or at law or in equity (including, without
limitation, any law subrogating the Guarantor to the rights of the Lender) to assert any claim
against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from the Borrower
or any other party liable for payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations for any payment
made by the Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty or otherwise.




          (b) The Lender may, at its election, exercise any right or remedy it may have against the
Borrower without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Guarantor hereunder and the
Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any defense arising out of the
absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation or any other
right or remedy of the Guarantor against the Borrower, whether resulting from such election by the
Lender or otherwise. The Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other
defense of the Borrower or by reason of the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability,
either in whole or in part, of the Borrower to the Lender for the Guaranteed Obligations.




          (c) The Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial
condition of the Borrower and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Guaranteed Obligations and agrees that the Lender shall not have any duty to advise the Guarantor
of information regarding any condition or circumstance or any change in such condition or
circumstance. The Guarantor acknowledges that the Lender has not made any representations to the
Guarantor concerning the financial condition of the Borrower. The value of the consideration
received and to be received by the Guarantor is reasonably worth at least as much as the liability
and obligation of Guarantor incurred or arising under this Guaranty and all related papers and
arrangements.




     3. Parties. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its
successors, assigns or transferees, and shall be binding upon the Guarantor and his or her
respective heirs, successors and assigns; provided, that the Guarantor may not delegate or assign
any of the Guarantor’s duties or obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent
of the Lender.



 









 





     4. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in
writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by U.S. mail, certified
with return receipt requested, or sent by telecopy (with confirmed receipt or followed by overnight
delivery) to the addresses (or telecopy numbers) set forth on the signature pages hereto. The
Guarantor or the Lender may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other
communications given in accordance with the provisions of this Guaranty shall be deemed to have
been given on the date of receipt or, if mailed, the fifth (5th) business day following the date so
mailed, if earlier, or the next business day if sent by overnight courier.



     5. Right to Deal with the Borrower. At any time and from time to time, without
terminating, affecting or impairing the validity of this Guaranty or the obligations of the
Guarantor hereunder, the Lender may deal with the Borrower in the same manner and as fully as if
this Guaranty did not exist and shall be entitled, among other things, to grant the Borrower,
without notice or demand and without affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder, such extension
or extensions of time to perform, renew, compromise, accelerate or otherwise change the time for
payment of or otherwise change the terms of indebtedness or any part thereof contained in or
arising under any Financing Document or any other document evidencing Obligations of the Borrower
to the Lender, or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to perform, any act or acts as the Lender
may deem advisable.



     6. Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any and
all rights and claims of the Guarantor against the Borrower or any of its property or against any
other person, arising by reason of any payment by the Guarantor to the Lender pursuant to the
provisions, or in respect, of this Guaranty shall be subordinate, junior and subject in right of
payment to the prior and indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Lender,
and until such time, the Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, contribution or any similar
right and hereby waive any right to enforce any remedy the Lender may now or hereafter have against
the Borrower, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations
and any right to participate in, or benefit from, any security given to the Lender to secure the
Guaranteed Obligations. Any promissory note evidencing such liability of the Borrower to the
Guarantor shall be non-negotiable, shall expressly state that it is subordinated pursuant to this
Guaranty and shall be immediately assigned (with recourse) and delivered to the Lender. All liens
and security interests of the Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing,
in assets of the Borrower or any assets securing the Guaranteed Obligations shall be and hereby are
subordinated to the rights and interests of the Lender in those assets until the prior and
indefeasible final payment in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Lender and
termination of all financing arrangements between the Borrower and the Lender. If any amount shall
be paid to the Guarantor contrary to the provisions of this Section 6 at any time when all the
Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in
trust for the benefit of the Lender and shall forthwith be turned over in kind in the form received
to the Lender (duly endorsed if necessary) to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Financing Documents
and this Guaranty.



     7. Survival of Representations, Warranties, and Agreements. All representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements made herein, including representations



 









 




and warranties deemed made herein, shall survive any investigation or inspection made by or on
behalf of the Lender and shall continue in full force and effect until all of the obligations of
the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be fully performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and
until the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.




     8. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS GUARANTY SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF [JURISDICTION-UC]. THE
GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR
ANY DISTRICT OF [JURISDICTION-UC] AND ANY COURT IN THE STATE OF [JURISDICTION-UC] IN ANY ACTION,
SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT AGAINST THE GUARANTOR AND RELATED TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY
OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE
GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT BY WAY OF MOTION, AS A DEFENSE OR OTHERWISE IN ANY
SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT THE GUARANTOR IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE
JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, THAT THE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT
FORUM, THAT THE VENUE OF THE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER, OR THAT THIS GUARANTY OR ANY
DOCUMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN OR THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF MAY NOT BE LITIGATED IN
OR BY SUCH COURTS. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE GUARANTOR AGREES (I) NOT TO SEEK
AND HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO ANY REVIEW OF THE JUDGMENT OF ANY SUCH COURT BY ANY COURT OF ANY
OTHER NATION OR JURISDICTION WHICH MAY BE CALLED UPON TO GRANT AN ENFORCEMENT OF SUCH JUDGMENT AND
(II) NOT TO ASSERT ANY COUNTERCLAIM, IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNLESS SUCH
COUNTERCLAIM COULD NOT, BY REASON OF ANY APPLICABLE FEDERAL OR STATE PROCEDURAL LAWS, BE
INTERPOSED, PLEADED OR ALLEGED IN ANY OTHER ACTION. THE GUARANTOR AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS
MAY BE MADE UPON THE GUARANTOR BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL TO THE ADDRESS FOR NOTICES SET FORTH
IN THIS GUARANTY OR ANY METHOD AUTHORIZED BY THE LAWS OF [JURISDICTION-UC]. THE GUARANTOR
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, THE FINANCING DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR
THEREBY.



     9. Expenses. The Guarantor hereby agrees to pay on demand, and to hold the Lender
harmless against liability for, any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses of counsel and fees, costs and expenses incurred in
connection with any bankruptcy proceeding) incurred or expended by the Lender in connection with
the enforcement, amendment, modification or waiver of or preservation of any rights under this
Guaranty, and the collection of amounts payable hereunder, and until so paid, such fees, costs,
disbursements and expenses shall be added to, and constitute, Guaranteed Obligations.



 









 





     10. Further Assurances. The Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees to execute and
deliver to the Lender such additional agreements, instruments and documents as the Lender may
reasonably request to give effect to the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty.



     11. Miscellaneous.



          If any term of this Guaranty or any application hereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Guaranty and any other application of such term shall not be affected thereby.




          Any term of this Guaranty may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated only by an
instrument in writing signed by the Guarantor and the Lender. No notice to or demand on the
Guarantor shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligations of the Guarantor or of the right of the
Lender to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Guaranty. No course of
dealing between the Guarantor and the Lender shall change, modify or discharge, in whole or in
part, this Guaranty or any obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. No waiver of any term, covenant
or provision of this Guaranty shall be effective unless given in writing by the Lender and if so
given shall only be effective in the specific instance in which given.




          The headings in this Guaranty are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or define
the meaning hereof.




          No delay or failure of the Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or
under the Financing Documents, shall affect such right, power or privilege nor shall any single or
partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right,
power or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
The Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies which it would otherwise have. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or
character of the Lender concerning any breach or default by the Guarantor under this Guaranty must
be in writing and specifically described.




          All payments made by the Guarantor hereunder to the Lender in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall be made to the Lender in U.S. dollars and immediately available funds at an
account designated by the Lender, or to such other place as the Lender may hereafter specify in
writing.




          The execution and delivery of this Guaranty shall not supersede, terminate, modify or
supplement in any manner any other guaranty previously executed and delivered to the Lender by the
Guarantor and no release or termination of this Guaranty shall be construed to terminate or release
any other guaranty unless such other guaranty is specifically referred to in any such termination.




          The Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be the personal obligations of such Guarantor.






 









 








          This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect without
regard to any defenses or counterclaims that the Guarantor or the Borrower may assert on the debt
underlying this Guaranty, including, but not limited to, failure of consideration, breach of
warranty, fraud, statute of frauds, bankruptcy, statute of limitations, lender liability, accord
and satisfaction and usury until (A) all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly
paid in full and (B) Borrower shall have indefeasibly satisfied all of its Obligations under the
Note and the other Financing Documents and notice thereof has been provided by Lender to the
Guarantor.

[LENDER-NAME] (the “Lender”) is offering a life insurance premium financing
arrangement (the “Financing Arrangement”) which provides trusts settled by individuals,
such as the Grantor, with financing to purchase and maintain a life insurance policy (the
“Policy”) on the life of certain qualifying individuals, such as the Insured. To obtain
financing under the Financing Arrangement, the Insured or Grantor must settle (or have settled) a
life insurance trust (the “Life Insurance Trust” or “Trust”) under [JURISDICTION]
law and the Insured must consent (or have consented) to the Life Insurance Trust’s purchase of the
Policy. The Grantor must have an insurable interest in the life of the Insured and all
beneficiaries of the Life Insurance Trust must be individuals or tax-exempt charities with an
insurable interest in the life of the Insured or an estate planning vehicle, all of the owners or
beneficiaries of which have an insurable interest in the life of the Insured.



In order to participate in the Financing Arrangement, the Trust will be required to execute a Loan
Application and Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) and a Promissory Note in favor of the
Lender. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Lender will, subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Loan Agreement, make an advance of funds to, or for the benefit of, the Trust for
the purpose of funding premiums under the Policy. The obligations of the Trust under the Loan
Agreement may be secured by a collateral assignment of the Life Insurance Trust’s interest in the
Policy under a collateral assignment agreement between the Trust and the Collateral Agent (the
“Collateral Assignment Agreement”). The obligations under the Loan Agreement will bear
periodic interest at a [FIXED-FLOATING] subject to a minimum interest rate of nine percent






 









 







(9%) (in the case of a floating rate) and will be due and payable (i) one (1) Business Day after
payment of any proceeds of the Policy, and (ii) any other date that the principal and interest
shall become due and payable in full under the Loan Agreement, whether at the scheduled maturity
under the Promissory Note, by acceleration, notice of prepayment, or otherwise. The Trust may
pre-pay the Loan (including any accrued interest), in full but not in part, without penalty other
than the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium in some circumstances, as provided under the Loan
Agreement.



Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Loan
Agreement.



Each of the following are events of default under the Loan Agreement and Financing Documents:





Payment Default. Trust fails to make any payment within three (3) Business Days after the
same becomes due and payable under the Loan Agreement, the Promissory Note or any other
Financing Document.




Other Defaults. Trust fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation,
covenant or condition contained in the Promissory Note, the Loan Agreement or in any of the
other Financing Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or
condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Trust or a default occurs
under the Promissory Note, Loan Agreement, Security Agreement or any other Financing
Document.




False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by
the Trust, the Insured or on Trust’s behalf under the Promissory Note, the Loan Agreement
or any other Financing Document is false or misleading in any material respect, either now
or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.




Related Agreements. The Policy, Promissory Note, Loan Agreement, Security Agreement or any
other Financing Document ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any
collateral document to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any time
and for any reason; the Trust becomes a revocable trust, contests the validity or
enforceability of any Financing Document or denies that it has any further liability under
any Financing Document to which it is a party, or cancels or terminates, or attempts to
cancel or terminate, the Policy; or the Insurer contests the Policy based on the Trust
lacking an insurable interest in the life of the Insured.




Indebtedness, Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Any garnishment of any of Trust’s
accounts, attachment, lien, levy, additional encumbrance or additional security interest
being placed upon any of the Collateral, or any commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture
proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method,
by any creditor of Trust or by any



2









 







governmental agency against any Collateral, and which is not discharged in full within one
(1) day of the placement thereof. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there
is a good faith dispute by the Trust as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim
which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if the Trust gives Lender
written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or
a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender,
in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.




Insolvency or Default of Trust. The Trust is: (i) dissolved, liquidated or terminated; (ii)
is unable to pay its debts as they mature; (iii) makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors; (iv) is bankrupt or insolvent; (v) seeks appointment of, or becomes the subject
of an order appointing, a trustee, conservator, liquidator or receiver as to all or part of
its assets; (vi) commences, approves or consents to, or is the debtor in, any case or
proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar law, and in the case of an
involuntary case or proceeding, such case or proceeding is not dismissed thirty (30) days
following its commencement; (vii) is the subject of an order for relief in an involuntary
case under federal bankruptcy law; (viii) the Trust defaults under any loan, extension of
credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor
of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Trust’s property or
Trust’s ability to repay the Promissory Note or perform Trust’s Obligations under the
Promissory Note, the Loan Agreement or any of other Financing Documents; or (ix) Trust
violates any Law.




Insolvency or Default of Insured or Guarantor. (i) The Insured or any Guarantor makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) The Insured or any Guarantor is adjudicated a
bankrupt or insolvent; (iii) The Insured or any Guarantor seeks appointment of, or becomes
the subject of an order appointing, a trustee, conservator, or receiver as to all or part
of his assets; (iv) The Insured or any Guarantor commences, approves or consents to, or is
the debtor in, any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or similar law and, in the case
of an involuntary case or proceeding, such case or proceeding is not dismissed thirty (30)
days following its commencement; (v) The Insured or any Guarantor is the subject of an
order for relief in an involuntary case under federal bankruptcy law; (vi) Trust defaults
under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or
any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect
any of Trust’s property or Trust’s ability to repay the Obligations; or (vii) any Guarantor
defaults under the terms of the Personal Guaranty.




Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any
Guarantor of any of the indebtedness under the Promissory Note or any Guarantor dies or
becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any
guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by the Promissory Note; in the event of a death,
Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be required



3









 







to, permit the Guarantor’s estate to assume unconditionally the obligations arising under
the guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure any Event of
Default.




Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Trust’s financial condition, or
Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Obligations is materially
impaired.




Cure Provisions. Other than as set forth in the preceding clauses of this Section, failure
by the Trust or Beneficiary, as applicable, to perform in any material respect any of its
obligations under the Promissory Note, Loan Agreement, Security Agreement or any other
Financing Document to which either is a party if such failure is not remedied on or prior
to the fifteenth (15th) day after written notice of such failure is given to the Trust or
the Beneficiary, respectively, by the Lender.


In connection with, and as a condition precedent to the Trust obtaining a loan from the Lender in
connection with the Financing Arrangement, settlement of the Trust and the undersigned Grantor,
Insured and, if as of the date hereof the Insured is lawfully married, the Insured’s
Spouse1, do each hereby acknowledge, represent, warrant, covenant and agree, jointly and
severally, to the following:





	1.	 	The Grantor, the Insured and the Insured’s Spouse with their advisors which they deem
appropriate (including, for example, attorneys, tax advisors and accountants), have read and
understand the terms of each Financing Arrangement Document, including, without limitation,
this Insured Disclosure Statement, Representations and Warranties, and Consent (“Disclosure
Statement”), any credit application, the Trust Agreement for the Life Insurance Trust, the
Loan Agreement, the Promissory Note, the Collateral Assignment, the Authorization for
Disclosure of Protected Health Information and the Authorization and Direction to Provide
Death Certificate (collectively, the “Financing Arrangement Documents”). The Insured
has specifically received appropriate legal and tax advice regarding the form, substance and
drafting of the Trust Agreement for the Life Insurance Trust.






	2.	 	The terms of the Financing Arrangement Documents are fair and reasonable to the Life
Insurance Trust, the Insured and the Insured’s Spouse.






	3.	 	The initial contribution of the Insured, if any, to the Life Insurance Trust constitutes the
Insured’s separate property and does not constitute the community property or quasi-community
property of the Insured and the Insured’s Spouse. The Insured and the Insured’s Spouse hereby
agree to execute any additional







 




			
	1	 	If the Insured is not married as of the date
hereof, all references to “Spouse” in this Disclosure Statement and Consent are
hereby rendered null and void.




4









 











	 	 	documentation legally required to commute such property to the separate property of the
Insured.






	4.	 	The Insured is financially sophisticated and, individually or together with the Insured’s
Spouse, has a net worth of at least [NET-WORTH]. The Insured formed and is the sole grantor
of the Life Insurance Trust.






	5.	 	There may be federal, state or local income, gift or estate tax effects of participation in
the Financing Arrangement to the Grantor, the Insured, the Insured’s Spouse, the
beneficiary(ies) of the Life Insurance Trust (“Beneficiary”) and the Life Insurance Trust.
Participation in the Financing Arrangement, and termination of participation, could increase
the taxable income, taxable gifts or taxable estate of a participant including the Grantor and
Beneficiary. The Grantor, the Insured and the Insured’s Spouse recognize that if the Policy
is not held to maturity and is instead surrendered to the issuer or sold on the secondary
market, any amounts received in excess of the tax basis or possibly the fair market value, if
lower, of the Policy will be taxable income to one or more of the participants. It is unclear
under existing tax law whether this income will be treated as ordinary income or capital gain
income. Some tax practitioners have suggested that if the surrender or sale proceeds exceed a
policy’s cash surrender value, the excess should be taxed as capital gains; and if the cash
surrender value exceeds the basis of the policy, a conservative approach is to treat that
excess as ordinary income. In addition, it is unclear under federal income tax law how to
compute the tax basis in the Policy. Specifically, the Internal Revenue Service has taken the
position that an owner’s basis in a policy equals premiums paid minus any nontaxable dividends
and minus the value of the life insurance protection the owner has enjoyed. While existing
case law does not appear to support this position, there can be no assurances on the outcome
of this issue if disputed. The Grantor, the Insured and the Insured’s Spouse recognize that
interest incurred on indebtedness the proceeds of which are used to pay premiums on the Policy
cannot be deducted for tax purposes and it is unclear whether any non-deductible interest can
be added to the tax basis in the Policy. In the event that the Lender forecloses upon the
Policy following a default under the Financing Arrangement, the excess of the amount owed over
the tax basis in, or possibly the fair market value, if lower, of, the Policy may be ordinary
taxable income, unless an exception to recognition applies. In all cases, any income realized
upon a sale, surrender, foreclosure upon or other transfer of the Policy may be taxable to the
Grantor even through any proceeds may be receivable by the Trustee and be required to be used
to satisfy any outstanding indebtedness and then be distributed to the Beneficiary. This will
result in the Grantor recognizing income without any cash proceeds (so-called phantom income)
from which to pay any related tax. The Grantor may also recognize phantom income annually
based on the value of any insurance provided. The Grantor, the Insured, the Beneficiary and
the Insured’s Spouse have not relied upon any advice from the Lender, any life agent or other
producer, any insurance company that has issued the Policy or any other person associated with
the Financing Arrangement regarding any such tax effects.




5









 












	 	 	The Grantor, the Insured, the Beneficiary and the Insured’s Spouse have consulted with
their own legal, tax and accounting advisors to determine the tax effects of the Financing
Arrangement on such party.






	6.	 	Insurance companies may only allow any person to purchase, in the aggregate, a limited amount
of life insurance on the life of the Insured, and the Trust’s purchase, and the maintenance in
force, of the Policy may use all or a part of this limited insurance capacity. Therefore, in
the future, the Insured, the Insured’s Spouse, the Trust or any other family members of the
Insured may be unable to purchase life insurance on the life of the Insured in the amounts
desired as a consequence of the purchase, and the maintenance in force, of the Policy. In the
event that the Lender forecloses upon the Policy following an Event of Default under the Loan
Agreement and Financing Documents and resells or further assigns the Policy in order to
recover on its loan, the Policy may be maintained in force and this could in the future limit
or eliminate the ability of the Insured, the Insured’s Spouse, the Trust or any other family
members of the Insured to purchase future insurance on the Insured’s life because there is a
limit to how much coverage insurers will issue on one life.






	7.	 	Unless otherwise set forth in Schedule A hereto, the only beneficiaries of the Insurance
Trust are the Insured, the Insured’s Spouse and/or children or other issue of the Insured or
an entity or trust [(a)] the beneficiaries of which are either the Insured’s Spouse or a child
or other issue of the Insured [and/or (b) an entity which is qualified as tax-exempt under
Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,] and the Grantor is either
the Insured, the Insured’s Spouse or a child of the Insured.






	8.	 	Neither the Insured nor the Insured’s Spouse have been paid, directly or indirectly, any
inducement (money, property or otherwise) in connection with the Financing Arrangement or to
obtain the Policy.






	9.	 	None of the Grantor, the Insured, the Insured’s Spouse or, to the knowledge of the foregoing
persons, any beneficiary of the Trust has any present intention to surrender, sell or settle,
directly or indirectly, the Policy or any interest therein.






	10.	 	Unless otherwise set forth in Schedule A hereto, no person or entity other than the Life
Insurance Trust, the Life Insurance Trustee, the beneficiaries of the Life Insurance Trust,
and the Lender has any direct or indirect interest in the Policy.






	11.	 	The Policy application has been completed accurately and there are no material omissions or
misstatements in the application.






	12.	 	The Lender, or any subsequent owner of the Loan Agreement, may sell, or sell participations
in, the Loan Agreement without the consent of, or prior notice to, the Grantor, the Insured,
the Insured’s Spouse or the Life Insurance Trust and the Insured and the Insured’s Spouse
agree to take all actions (but at no cost or




6









 






	 	 	expense to the Insured or the Insured’s Spouse) requested by the Lender in connection with
any such sale or participation.






	13.	 	The Insured agrees to provide certain medical and health information (collectively,
“Private Health Information”) as may be reasonably requested, from time to time, by
the Life Insurance Trust, the Lender, life expectancy underwriters and any of their respective
representatives, agents, designees, third party servicers and purchasers of the Policy
following the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement, successors or
assignees (collectively, the “Authorized Recipients”). To facilitate this provision
of Private Health Information, the Insured agrees to execute such documents as are necessary
to release such information to the relevant parties needing to review such information so as
to allow the Life Insurance Trust to obtain a loan from the Lender in connection with the
Financing Arrangement or to sell the Policy in connection with a foreclosure or otherwise.
The Private Health Information may be used by the Authorized Recipients for the purposes of
(i) valuing the Policy as collateral for the loan and (ii) assisting in any disposition of the
Policy. The Private Health Information may be maintained and/or processed in any jurisdiction
or country. The disclosure of Private Health Information to any of the Authorized Recipients
may involve transfers to countries outside the United States which may not have laws
comparable to those in the United States to protect personal data.






	14.	 	The Insured understands that the Trust’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured or
supported by, among other things, the Policy, and that the Lender can properly evaluate the
value of the Policy as collateral for the Loan Agreement only by considering the Private
Health Information. Absent such information, the Lender would likely deny the Insured’s
application because the cash surrender value of the Policy would be inadequate to support the
loan requested. Therefore, in order for the Lender to evaluate the collateral value of the
Policy, the Insured directs and authorizes the Lender to obtain and consider the Private
Health Information.






	15.	 	The Insured represents that all Private Health Information that has been provided by or on
behalf of the Insured to the Lender and its designees or third party servicers, the issuer of
the Policy and any life expectancy underwriters, at the time so provided, was true and
complete in all material respects to the best of the Insured’s knowledge.






	16.	 	The Insured agrees to inform the Trustee, or any designees or agents thereof, within thirty
(30) days of any and all changes in contact information of the Insured and the Insured’s
Spouse, including home address or telephone number. The Insured and the Insured’s Spouse
acknowledge that the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, the Lender and its designees or third
party servicers and any subsequent owner of the Policy, or any of their respective
representatives, servicers, agents or designees may, from time to time and at their own
discretion, contact the Insured and the Insured’s Spouse for confirmation and update of such
information.

	17.	 	The Policy is being purchased as part of the Insured’s estate planning and for retirement
purposes.






	18.	 	To the knowledge of the Insured, the Life Insurance Trust has not entered into any contracts
or agreements, other than the Policy and the relevant Financing Arrangement Documents.






	19.	 	If the Insurer of the Policy cancels the Policy prior to the repayment of the obligations of
the Trust to Lender under the Financing Arrangement Documents, the obligations of the Insured
and the Life Insurance Trust and the rights of Lender with respect to the Financing
Arrangement Documents and with respect to the Policy shall continue in full force, unaffected
by such cancellation.






	20.	 	Each of the Insured and the Insured’s Spouse is required to take all actions relating to the
Financing Arrangement that may be necessary or desirable from time to time in the Life
Insurance Trust or Lender’s discretion (but at no cost or expense to the Insured or the
Insured’s Spouse), including, but not limited to, executing all such documents as may be
required by the Life Insurance Trust, any life agent or other producer or any insurance
company that has issued the Policy and/or beneficiary designation if the Lender enforces its
security interest, if any, in the Policy, the Life Insurance Trust accounts and all other
assets of the Life Insurance Trust following the occurrence of any event of default under the
Loan Agreement or the Financing Arrangement Documents.






	21.	 	Any claims, questions or controversies arising under or related to in any manner whatsoever
this Disclosure Statement or the transactions contemplated under the Financing Arrangement
including, but not limited to, any challenge by the Grantor, the Insured, the Insured’s Spouse
or the Insured’s estate, beneficiaries or subrogees (each, a “Insured Party”) against
the Lender, its designees and/or third party servicers, the Life Insurance Trust, any broker,
any insurance company or any other party interested in or related in any way to the Financing
Arrangement (each, an “Interested Third Party”, notwithstanding the fact such parties
are not signatories hereto) (a “Dispute”) shall be submitted to arbitration conducted
before the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). Any Insured Party or any
interested third party is hereby authorized to invoke this arbitration provision, and any
judgment with respect to any award rendered pursuant to this arbitration provision may be
entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such arbitration will be conducted under the
rules of the AAA and the laws of the State of [JURISDICTION] and will be conducted in
[TRUST-CITY-STATE]. Each Insured Party understands that claims submitted to arbitration are
not heard by a jury and are not subject to the rules governing the courts. Each Insured Party
further agrees that no claim may be brought as a class action, and that no Insured Party has
the right to act, nor shall they attempt to act, as a class representative or participate as a
member of a class of claimants with respect to any claim related to or arising out of the
Financing Arrangement. To the extent that this arbitration




8









 






	 	 	provision is held unenforceable, the Insured Parties: (i) irrevocably submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in [TRUST-CITY-STATE] in
respect of any action or proceeding arising under or related to in any manner whatsoever
this Disclosure Statement or the transactions contemplated under the Financing Arrangement,
(ii) agree that this Disclosure Statement and the transactions contemplated by the
Financing Arrangement shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of [JURISDICTION] (without reference to conflicts of laws provisions)
and (iii) HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIM,
COUNTERCLAIM, SETOFF, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY
RELATED TO THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH OR PERTAINING OR
RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO ANY DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES TO THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY PARTY’S RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES UNDER THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT OR OTHERWISE, OR THE CONDUCT OR THE RELATIONSHIP
OF THE PARTIES HERETO, IN ALL OF THE FOREGOING CASES WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER
ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. The sole exception to this
requirement for arbitration involves suits brought on behalf of the Lender seeking a
temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, and/or permanent injunction
(“injunctive relief’) based upon (i) any failure of the Trust to use the proceeds of
advanced exclusively as set forth in the Loan Agreement, the Promissory Note, the Financing
Documents or any other documents related to the Loan Agreement; (ii) any act by the Trust
or any Guarantor to transfer, amend, change ownership, cancel, convey, sell or assign the
Policy without the express written consent of the Lender; or (iii) any failure to act by
the Trust or any Guarantor that results, directly or indirectly, in the transfer of the
Policy or any amendment, change of ownership, cancellation, conveyance, sale or assignment
thereof, in the event there is immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage (which
immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage may be presumed by law and/or by
agreement of the parties). The parties hereby expressly agree, and each Interested Third
Party in receipt of this Disclosure Statement acknowledges, that the arbitrartion
provisions in this section shall not apply to the Trustee in respect of its rights, duties,
protections and immunities.






	22.	 	The Grantor, the Insured and the Insured’s Spouse acknowledge and understand that various
charities, educational institutions and federal, state or local governmental entities or
agencies may take into account the Life Insurance Trust’s purchase, and the maintenance in
force, of the Policy in determining the eligibility of the Insured, the Insured’s Spouse or
any other family members of the Insured to receive aid under one or more charitable,
educational and federal, state or local governmental programs, including without limitation,
Medicaid.

	23.	 	The Grantor, the Insured and the Insured’s Spouse acknowledge and understand that, due to
cost of insurance increases or other factors relating to the Policy, it is possible that the
amount of funds advanced under the Loan Agreement may not be sufficient to keep the Policy in
force during the term of the Loan Agreement.






	24.	 	The Grantor, the Insured and the Insured’s Spouse are each signing this Disclosure Statement
freely and voluntarily and are each of sound mind and not subject to any constraint or undue
influence, and neither has ever been the subject of any mental health or mental competency
proceeding or any other proceeding or hearing with respect to which such party’s competency or
capacity to contract is or was an issue.






	25.	 	Each of the Grantor, the Insured and the Insured’s Spouse has a complete understanding of
this Disclosure Statement and has been given the opportunity to ask questions regarding the
nature and operation of the Financing Arrangement.






	26.	 	As of the Execution Date and the Initial Premium Funding Date, the Insured is an individual
residing in the state designated in the Financing Documents.






	27.	 	This document and the other Financing Documents to which the Insured is a party have been
duly executed and delivered by the Insured, and (assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by the other parties thereto) the Financing Documents constitute legal, valid and
binding obligations of the Insured, enforceable against the Insured in accordance with their
terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar
laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to equitable principles of general application,
regardless of whether such principles are considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).






	28.	 	The execution, delivery and performance by the Insured of the Financing Documents to which it
is a party do not and will not (i) to the knowledge of the Insured, conflict with or cause a
violation by the Insured of (A) any Law or Governmental Order of the Insured’s state of
residence applicable to the Insured or to any of the Insured’s assets, properties or business
or (B) to the knowledge of the Insured, any other Law or Governmental Order applicable to the
Insured or to any of the Insured’s assets, properties or business or (ii) conflict with,

lapse of time, or both, would become a default) under, require any consent under, or give to

The Insured is not in violation of any Law or Governmental Order applicable to it or any of
its properties or assets. No judicial, administrative or arbitral proceeding is pending or,

LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY




          Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints [COLLATERAL-AGENT], and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, the
undersigned’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the
place and stead of the undersigned and in the name of the undersigned or in its own name, from time
to time, for the limited purpose of carrying out the terms of the Collateral Assignment, Loan
Agreement or any other documents contemplated by the Loan Agreement (capitalized terms used but not
defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Loan Application and Agreement
between the undersigned and the [LENDER-NAME] dated as of [DATE] (the “Loan Agreement”)) to take
any action that the Collateral Agent is required to take and to execute and deliver any and all
documents and instruments necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of the Collateral
Assignment and to effectuate any right assigned to the Collateral Agent under the Collateral
Assignment (including, without limitation, the right to transfer or direct the transfer of
ownership of the Life Insurance Policy or the proceeds thereof to the Collateral Agent or a third
party designed by the Collateral Agent upon the sole signature of the Collateral Agent following an
Event of Default) or Lender under the Promissory Note, as the case may be.




          The undersigned hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that any said attorney
shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney given as security
for indebtedness by the undersigned to [LENDER-NAME], being coupled with an interest, shall be
irrevocable until all Obligations under the Loan Agreement are indefeasibly paid in full (in the
case of payment obligations) and otherwise satisfied and discharged.




          The undersigned expressly authorizes any said attorney-in-fact to sign any document on the
undersigned’s behalf, either by signing the undersigned’s name or by signing the name of the
attorney-in-fact, without the need to disclose the fact that said attorney-in-fact is acting as
attorney-in-fact, and in either event such signature shall have the same effect as if the
undersigned personally had signed the document. The undersigned specifically authorizes my
attorney-in-fact so to sign the undersigned’s name for or in the presence of a notary public as the
undersigned’s notarized signature. The undersigned further authorizes and requires all
institutions and persons, including banks and insurance companies, to accept the signature of said
attorney-in-fact with the same effect as the undersigned’s signature would have.




          The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Limited Power of Attorney are
solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and [LENDER-NAME]’s interests in the Life Insurance Policy
and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. For the
avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Agent to take any action with
respect to the Life Insurance Policy, including, without limitation, selling, transferring or
disposing of the Life Insurance Policy, and the Collateral Agent shall have the right to do or
cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable to maintain the Life Insurance Policy in
full force in accordance with its terms.



 









 







          It is expressly understood and agreed by any recipient hereof that in no event shall [NAME OF
TRUSTEE], as trustee of the [Insert Trust Name] (the “Trust”), in its individual capacity have any
liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other
obligations of the Trust hereunder or under any schedule, exhibit, appendix or other document in
connection with this Limited Power of Attorney, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to
the assets of the Trust, and under no circumstances shall [NAME OF TRUSTEE] as trustee of the Trust
be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Trust or be liable for
the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by
the Trust under this Limited Power of Attorney or under any schedule, exhibit, appendix or other
document in connection with this Limited Power of Attorney.




          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Limited Power of Attorney to be signed,
and this Limited Power of Attorney shall be effective as of the                      day of                     , 2009.

1.2. Premium and Trustee Expense Advances. 




     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lender shall cause to be made and loaned
to the Trust, and the Trust shall borrow, the Advance that the Lender may elect to make for the
purpose of funding certain Premiums and Trustee Expenses during the Term of this Agreement.



     The Advance shall be made on the Initial Premium Funding Date. The Advance hereunder may be
(a) delivered to the Trust or (b) paid directly to the Insurer at the Insurer’s Mailing Address for
Payments with respect to the Life Insurance Policy.



     (b) Any Advance for Trustee Expenses may be made at the election of the Lender on the Initial

Trustee Expenses shall be the responsibility of the Trust. The date of any Advance for Trustee
Expenses may be changed by the Lender. Any Advance for Trustee Expenses may be applied by the
Lender directly to such expenses.



     (c) Any Advance made hereunder by the Lender shall be evidenced by, and repaid with interest
in accordance with, the Promissory Note payable to the order of the Lender.


1.3. Total Amount Due. 




     (a) Interest due under the Promissory Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate on the aggregate

accrued interest shall be added to the principal amount due under the Promissory Note, and interest
shall accrue thereafter on such increased principal amount.][DELETE IN GEORGIA AND OTHER STATES NOT
PERMITTING COMPOUNDING OF INTEREST.] Such outstanding principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid
interest as of any date shall be referred to as the “Total Amount Due.”



     (b) On the Maturity Date, the Trust shall pay to the Lender the Total Amount Due under the
Promissory Note plus the Origination Fee [plus the Lender Protection Insurance Charge].



     (c) Anything contained herein or within the Promissory Note to the contrary notwithstanding,
if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under
applicable law, then the Trust shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by
law, and any payment received from the Trust in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received,
shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the amount due hereunder to the extent of such
excess or, at the option of the Trust, shall be returned to the Trust.



     (d) The Lender may perform its obligations to compute and determine any amounts under this
Agreement directly or through an agent. The Lender shall not be liable to the Trustee in
connection with the performance of any such obligations in the absence of willful misconduct or
gross negligence.

1.4. Partial and Surplus Payments. 




     If at any time the Lender receives a smaller payment than the Total Amount Due or any other
Obligations due under this Agreement, the Promissory Note or the other Financing Documents, it may
apply the amount actually received in or towards discharge of the Obligations in the order
indicated by the Promissory Note. If the amount realized by the Lender under Article 6 of this
Agreement is more than the amount of the Obligations, the Lender shall pay the excess to the Trust.


1.5. Dispute Resolution. 




     (a) All controversies or disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement
(“Disputes”) shall be resolved pursuant to this Section 1.5.



     (b) All Disputes shall in the first instance be discussed amicably between the parties with a
view to resolving such Dispute, commencing upon one party giving other parties written notice of
such Dispute. In the event that such Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after such
notice (or such longer period as the parties may agree in writing with respect to any such
Dispute), any party may submit such Dispute to be finally settled by arbitration administered under
the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”) by a panel
of three arbitrators sitting in [TRUST-CITY-STATE]. One arbitrator shall be nominated by the party
initiating arbitration at the time of the filing of its demand for arbitration, the second
arbitrator shall be nominated by the opposing party(ies) at the time of the filing of its answering
statement, and the third arbitrator (who shall act as chairman) shall be jointly nominated by
party-nominated arbitrators if they are able to agree. If the first two party nominated
arbitrators are unable to agree upon a third within thirty (30) days after the nomination of the
second, or if either party fails to nominate an arbitrator as set forth herein, an arbitrator shall
be appointed pursuant to the Rules. The award of the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon
the parties, and shall not be subject to any appeal or review. The parties agree that such award
may be recognized and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree to submit
to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts sitting in [TRUST-CITY-STATE], for the
sole purpose of enforcing this Agreement (including, where appropriate, issuing injunctive relief),
the agreement to arbitrate contained herein and any award resulting from arbitration pursuant to
this Section and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, waive any objection which they may have
at any time to the laying of venue of any proceedings brought in such court and any claim that such
proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum.



     (c) The Trust further agrees that no claim may be brought as a class action, and that the
Insured and Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, do not have the right to act, nor shall they attempt
to act, as a class representative or participate as a member of a class of claimants with respect
to any claim related to or arising out of this Agreement. To the extent that this arbitration
provision is held unenforceable, the Trust: (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of any federal or state court sitting in [TRUST-CITY-STATE] in respect of any action or proceeding
arising under or related to in any manner whatsoever this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated under this Agreement, (ii) agrees that this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by the Financing Documents shall in all respects be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of [JURISDICTION] (without reference to



4









 




conflicts of laws provisions) and (iii) HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL
BY JURY ON ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, SETOFF, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING OUT OF OR
IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR (II) IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH OR PERTAINING OR
RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO ANY DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, AND CONSENT OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY PARTY’S
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, OR THE CONDUCT OR THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE
PARTIES HERETO, IN ALL OF THE FOREGOING CASES WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that this
provision is intended to encompass any dispute between any Party to this Agreement and any
interested third party.




     (d) In any arbitral proceeding arising under this Agreement, the parties agree that they will
engage in cooperative discovery, to be supervised by the arbitral tribunal. In its discretion, the
tribunal may order the exchange of documents in the custody or control of parties to this
Agreement, and may order a limited number of party depositions of one (1) day’s duration each if
requested by the opposing party and if the tribunal finds that such depositions would contribute to
the efficient development of evidence.



     (e) The sole exception to this Section 1.5 involves suits brought on behalf of the Lender
seeking a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, and/or permanent injunction
(“injunctive relief”) based upon (i) any failure of the Borrower to use the proceeds advanced
hereunder exclusively as set forth in this Agreement, the Promissory Note, the Financing Documents
or any other documents related to this Agreement; (ii) any act by the Borrower or any Guarantor to
transfer, amend, change ownership, cancel, convey, sell or assign the Life Insurance Policy without
the express written consent of the Lender; or (iii) any failure to act by the Borrower or any
Guarantor that results, directly or indirectly, in the transfer of the Life Insurance Policy or any
amendment, change of ownership, cancellation, conveyance, sale or assignment thereof, in the event
there is immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage (which immediate and irreparable injury,
loss, or damage may be presumed by law and/or by agreement of the Parties).



     (f) The parties hereby expressly agree, and each interested third party in receipt of this
Agreement acknowledges, that the arbitration provisions in this Section 1.5 shall not apply to the
Trustee in respect of its rights, duties, protections and immunities under the Trust Agreement.

11









 




contests the validity or enforceability of any Financing Document or denies that it has any
further liability under any Financing Document to which it is a party, or cancels or terminates, or

Insurance Policy based on the Trust lacking an insurable interest in the life of the Insured.

accounts, attachment, lien, levy, additional encumbrance or additional security interest being

whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of
Trust or by any governmental agency against any Collateral, and which is not discharged in full
within one (1) day of the placement thereof. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if
there is a good faith dispute by Trust as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is
the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Trust gives Lender written notice of the

or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an
adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

(ii) is unable to pay its debts as they mature; (iii) makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors; (iv) is bankrupt or insolvent; (v) seeks appointment of, or becomes the subject of an

Obligations under the Promissory Note, this Agreement or any of other Financing Documents; or (ix)

property or Trust’s ability to repay the Obligations; or (vii) any Guarantor defaults under the
terms of the Personal Guaranty.



     (h) Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any
Guarantor of any of the indebtedness under the Promissory Note or any Guarantor dies or



12









 




becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any guaranty
of the indebtedness evidenced by the Promissory Note; in the event of a death, Lender, at its
option, may, but shall not be required to, permit the Guarantor’s estate to assume unconditionally
the obligations arising under the guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so,
cure any Event of Default.




     (i) Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Trust’s financial condition, or
Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Obligations is materially impaired.



     (j) Cure Provisions. Other than as set forth in the preceding clauses of this Section,

anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Yield Maintenance Premium be in
an amount which would cause the Borrower to pay more upon prepayment of the loan hereunder
than the Borrower would have paid in full satisfaction of the loan hereunder at maturity on
the scheduled Maturity Date and to the extent necessary, the Yield Maintenance Premium shall
be reduced in the least amount needed to comply with this limit.

Maximum Principal Amount: [PRINCIPAL], Initial Loan Amount Advanced: [FIRST-YEAR-PREMIUM],
Initial Rate: [INTEREST-RATE], Date of Note: [DATE]



PROMISE TO PAY. [TRUST-NAME] (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of [LENDER-NAME] (“Lender”)
in lawful money of the United States of America, all principal, together with accrued interest and
all other charges, owed under the terms of this Promissory Note as hereinafter set forth and the
Loan Agreement (as defined below). The maximum principal that may be advanced to Borrower shall
be [PRINCIPAL], or such lesser amount as determined in accordance with that certain Loan
Application and Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) of even date herewith between Borrower and Lender
and Lender shall have no obligation to make any advance in excess of that amount. Any advance
shall be made under, and in accordance with, the Loan Agreement. In the event the unpaid balance
of this Promissory Note ever is greater than the maximum principal advance, Borrower agrees to
repay immediately the excess upon Lender’s written demand. Capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Loan Agreement.



PAYMENT. The principal amount of this Promissory Note, together with all accrued but unpaid
interest and all other charges, shall be due and payable in full in one lump sum on
[MATURITY-DATE], or if earlier, either: (a) one (1) Business Day after payment of any proceeds of
the Life Insurance Policy to or for the benefit of the Borrower; or (b) if the Life Insurance
Policy is rescinded for any reason, one (1) Business Day after the return of any Life Insurance
Policy premium. All payments shall be applied in the following order: (i) to any collection costs
Lender may have incurred in procuring Borrower’s performance on this Promissory Note; (ii) to any
fees due under the Loan Agreement; (iii) to the outstanding interest which has accrued on the
balance of the Promissory Note; and (iv) to the outstanding principal balance of the Promissory
Note. All interest under the Promissory Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
for the actual number of days elapsed in an interest period (actual/360 method). Determination of
a rate of interest by the Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding
upon the Borrower. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender’s address shown above or at such other place
as Lender may designate in writing. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States
to Lender at the address set forth above or at such other place as the Lender under this Promissory
Note may designate in writing (“Payment Address”).



INTEREST RATE. The Interest Rate on this Promissory Note shall be set (or initially set) at
[INTEREST-RATE] per annum [and shall compound on a monthly basis][delete in [GEORGIA and other
states not permitting compounding of interest] and substitute
“on a simple interest basis”]. The
interest rate on this Promissory Note shall be a [FIXED-FLOATING]. If a fixed rate, it shall be
fixed at the Interest Rate set forth in the preceding sentence; if a floating or variable rate, it
shall be reset periodically as follows. If the interest rate on this Promissory Note is set as
variable/floating and not fixed, the Interest Rate shall
initially be as set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph and shall be adjusted thereafter
on the first day of each month during the term of this Promissory Note. Each date on which the
interest rate could vary or change is called a “Change Date.” Beginning with the first Change
Date, the Interest Rate will be based on an Index plus the Spread. The “Index” is the [INDEX] on
the





1









 







Change Date which is publicly announced in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street
Journal, Eastern Edition, or such other similar publication, as is reasonably determined by the
Lender. If the Index is no longer available, the Lender will choose a new index which is based
upon comparable information. If the Change Date is not a Business Day, the rate as announced on
the next Business Day shall be used.



On each Change Date, the Lender will calculate the new interest rate by adding [SPREAD] basis
points (the “Spread”) to the Index. Subject to the limits set forth herein, this amount will be
the new interest rate until the next Change Date. The interest rate the Borrower is required to
pay under this Promissory Note will not be greater than 16% or less than 9%. Any new interest rate
will become effective on each Change Date.



[At the end of each month, accrued interest as calculated above shall be added to the principal
amount due under the Promissory Note, and interest shall accrue thereafter on such increased
principal amount.][DELETE IN GA and other states not permitting the compounding of interest]



NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the effective rate of interest on this Promissory Note be more
than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.



PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees, including the Origination Fee and the Yield
Maintenance Premium, and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of this
Promissory Note and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a
result of default), except: (i) in the case of death of the Insured prior to maturity, the Yield
Maintenance Premium will be waived, or (ii) as otherwise required by law. Borrower agrees not to
send Lender payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language. If Borrower
sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender’s rights under this
Promissory Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All
written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument
that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is
tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be
mailed or delivered to the Payment Address. No privilege is reserved by Borrower to prepay any
principal due hereunder and under the Loan Agreement prior to the Maturity Date, except that the
Borrower may after giving five (5) days’ prior written notice to Lender, prepay in full, but not in
part, all principal and interest to and including the date on which payment is made, along with all
sums, amounts, advances, or charges due under the Loan Agreement, this Promissory Note or the other
Financing Documents, upon the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.



LATE CHARGE. Borrower shall pay to Lender a “late charge” in an amount equal to three percent (3%)
of any amounts that are not paid within five (5) days after the due date thereof to cover the extra
expense involved in handling delinquent payments. Lender’s collection of a late charge hereunder
shall not be deemed a waiver by Lender of any of its rights under this Promissory Note, or any
other document between Borrower and Lender.



SECURITY. This Promissory Note is entitled to the benefit of, among other things, that certain
Assignment Of Life Insurance Policy As Collateral (“Collateral Assignment”) made by Borrower in
favor of [________], as collateral agent for the Lender (the “Collateral Agent”), pursuant
to which the Collateral Agent is granted a first priority security interest in the Life Policy (as
such term is defined in the Collateral Assignment). This Promissory Note shall be subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in such Collateral Assignment, the Loan Agreement, and the other
Financing Documents.



INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, all amounts due under this Promissory Note shall bear
interest from the date of acceleration or maturity at the interest rate set forth in this
Promissory Note (as it may be adjusted from time to time) plus 2% per annum.



DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) under
this Promissory Note:

	 	 	False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by

validity or enforceability of any Financing Document or denies that it has any further
liability under any Financing Document to which it is a party, or cancels or terminates, or
attempts to cancel or terminate, the Life Insurance Policy; or the Insurer contests the
Life Insurance Policy based on the Borrower lacking an insurable interest in the life of
the Insured.






	 	 	Indebtedness, Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Any garnishment of any of Borrower’s
accounts, attachment, lien, levy, additional encumbrance or additional security interest
being placed upon any of the Collateral, or any commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture
proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method,
by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any Collateral, and which
is not discharged in full within one (1) day of the placement thereof. However, this Event
of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity
or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding
and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and
deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in
an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or
bond for the dispute.

terminated; (ii) is unable to pay its debts as they mature; (iii) makes an assignment for

Borrower’s Obligations under this Promissory Note, the Loan Agreement or any of other
Financing Documents; or (ix) Borrower violates any Law.

of the Personal Guaranty.






	 	 	Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any
Guarantor of any of the indebtedness under this Promissory Note or any Guarantor dies or
becomes incompetent, or revokes or




3









 






	 	 	disputes the validity of, or liability under, any
guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by this Promissory Note; in the event of a death of
a Guarantor, Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be required to, permit the
Guarantor’s estate to assume unconditionally the obligations arising under the Personal
Guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure any Event of Default.






	 	 	Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower’s financial condition, or
Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Obligations is materially
impaired.






	 	 	Cure Provisions. Other than as set forth in the preceding clauses of this Section, failure
by the Borrower or Insured, as applicable, to perform in any material respect any of its
obligations under this Promissory Note, Loan Agreement, Security Agreement or any other
Financing Document to which either is a party if such failure is not remedied on or prior
to the fifteenth (15th) day after written notice of such failure is given to the Borrower
or the Insured, respectively, by the Lender.




LENDER’S RIGHTS. It is stipulated and agreed in the event one or more installments are not paid
when the same falls due, or in default of any covenant herein, then the entire balance of the
indebtedness shall at once or at any time thereafter, at the option of the payee of this Promissory
Note, become due, payable and collectible. Demand, protest, and notice of demand, protest, and
non-payment are hereby waived by the undersigned.



ATTORNEYS’ FEES: EXPENSES. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Promissory
Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower will pay Lender the amount of these costs and expenses,
which includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and
Lender’s legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay

EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF [TRUST-CITY-STATE-UC] CONCERNING ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING

REQUESTS FOR SPECIAL SERVICES. In general, there are no borrower-paid fees associated with the
routine servicing of a loan. Borrower, however, may occasionally find it necessary to request
services for which there is a charge. The services that fall outside of routine servicing include,
without limitation,
providing the following documents upon request: duplicate year-and statements, copies of loan
documents or periodic statements, payment histories, and replacement coupon books. Borrower agrees
to pay the fees imposed by Lender in connection with providing the requested services, as in effect
from time to time. Borrower also agrees to pay facsimile or other fees imposed by Lender if these
services are requested on an expedited basis. All such fees shall be fully earned and
non-refundable and shall be paid upon Lender’s demand (provided, that Lender, in its discretion,
may add the fees to the principal indebtedness due, and accrue interest thereon, and the same shall
be due, if not sooner demanded by Lender upon the maturity of the indebtedness without further
demand). The fees shall not be deemed to be interest or charges for the use of money.



SUCCESSOR INTERESTS. The terms of this Promissory Note shall be binding upon Borrower, and upon
Borrower’s heirs, personal representative, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit
of Lender and its successors and assigns.

contract for, charge, collect, take, reserve or receive (collectively
referred to herein as charge or collect), any amount in the nature of interest or in the nature of
a fee for this loan, which would in any way or event (including demand prepayment, or acceleration)
cause Lender to charge or collect more for this loan than the maximum Lender would be permitted to
charge or collect by federal law or the law of the State of [JURISDICTION] (as applicable). Any
such excess interest or unauthorized fee shall, instead of anything stated to the contrary, be
applied first to reduce the principal balance of the amounts due hereunder to the extent of such
excess or, at the option of the Borrower, shall be returned to the Borrower. Lender may delay or
forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Promissory Note without losing them.
Borrower and any other person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Promissory Note, to the extent
allowed by law, waive presentment, demand for payment, and notice of dishonor. This Promissory
Note is the Promissory Note referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Loan Agreement
and the other Financing Documents.



PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS PROMISSORY NOTE BORROWER HAS READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
PROMISSORY NOTE, INCLUDING THE VARIABLE INTEREST RATE PROVISIONS. BORROWER AGREES TO THE TERMS OF

as provided on Schedule I. I have not paid, loaned or otherwise advanced to the
Trust, the insured, the insured’s spouse or the Policy’s issuing insurance company (the

the best of my knowledge, except as provided on Schedule I, no person other than

documents accurately and completely and there are no material omissions in the application
or related documents.
	 
	 	d)	 	I currently hold all licenses required to be the writing Agent on the referenced
Policy, and all such licenses are current and in full force and effect.
	 
	 	e)	 	Any information provided to the Carrier in connection with applying for and/or
obtaining the Policy is complete and current including, but not limited to, providing the
Carrier with copies of the irrevocable life insurance trust and the loan documents and any
subsequent changes thereto, if requested by the Carrier. Furthermore, the Agent has
accurately and thoroughly provided any and all other information requested by the Carrier.







 




			
	1	 	If grantor is a person other than insured, state
name of such person and their relationship to the insured.




 









 











	 	f)	 	The Reliance Parties may call [___], an employee of the Carrier (the
“Insurance Company”), at [(___) ___ — ___] to confirm that the Policy was issued
on a form approved by the [JURISDICTION] Department of Insurance and that the Policy has
been collaterally assigned as contemplated under the financing arrangement.

accurate and contains no omissions or errors, and all questions posed by the Carrier in
connection with the application for the Policy have been answered truthfully and without
omission, including, but not limited to insured’s net worth and other financial
representations.
	 
	 	i)	 	I am aware of the written and unwritten guidance and corresponding questionnaires
provided by the Carrier in connection with the application for the Policy where premiums
are financed, and have provided full and correct copies of same to the Reliance Parties.

any correspondence or other action by the Carrier which could cause the coverage to lapse,
to be rescinded, or impacted in any other material way whatsoever.
	 
	 	k)	 	The Agent agrees that a breach of this agreement shall result in damages that are not
quantifiable and agrees to liquidated damages in the amount of [2XLOANAMOUNT], in the
event of a breach by the Agent. The liquidated damages shall not be construed as a
penalty or forfeiture.
	 
	 	l)	 	Agent shall execute and deliver to the Reliance Parties that certain “Authorization
to Conduct Credit and Criminal Background Checks,” annexed hereto as Exhibit “B.”




These representations, warranties and covenants shall survive until the tenth (10th)
anniversary of this agreement.



This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida.

Mandatory Trust Agreement Provisions



Ability to Surrender Assets to Satisfy Policy Loan



Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary:




          1. In the event that a Policy Loan is outstanding, is scheduled to mature within 60 days
(based upon the maturity date specified in the Loan Application and Agreement and the Promissory
Note executed by the Trust) and there are insufficient funds in the Trust to fully satisfy the
obligations under the Policy Loan, the Trustee shall deliver written notice to the
Grantor1 and the beneficiaries of the Trust at the addresses set forth in the Trust
Agreement (provided, however, that if beneficiaries are listed by class, the Trustee shall only be
required to deliver such notice to the members of such class of beneficiaries identified in a
written statement received by the Trustee from the grantor) stating (a) that the Policy Loan is
maturing and the amount due (or projected to be due) on the maturity date thereof, as specified to
the Trustee in a written notice delivered to the Trustee by the Lender, (b) the amount of funds
insufficient in the Trust, or otherwise unavailable, to fully satisfy the obligations under the
Policy Loan and (c) that unless the grantor and/or beneficiaries contribute funds to the Trust on
or before three (3) Business Days prior to the maturity date sufficient to permit the Trust to pay
the Policy Loan in full, that the Trustee is hereby directed to and shall have no discretion not to
unconditionally and irrevocably transfer and assign the Policy to the lender under the Policy Loan
(the “Lender”2) or to a designee of the Lender if such designee is specified by the
Lender in a written notice delivered prior to such transfer and assignment to the Trustee (the
“Designee”). If on or before three (3) Business Days prior to the maturity date the grantor and/or
beneficiaries contribute any funds to the Trust, the Trustee shall, within three (3) Business Days
after the receipt of any funds identified as being contributed by the grantor and/or a beneficiary,
pay such funds to the Lender. In the event that the insured and/or beneficiaries fail to
contribute funds to the Trust on or prior to such three (3) Business Day period in an amount
sufficient to permit the Trust to pay all obligations scheduled to be due with respect to the
Policy Loan on such maturity date (as specified to the Trustee in a written notice delivered to the
Trustee by the Lender or the Designee), the Trustee is hereby directed to and shall have no
discretion not to as soon as is commercially reasonably practicable thereafter unconditionally and
irrevocably transfer and assign the Policy and any cash or other assets of the Trust to the Lender
or the Designee. For purposes hereof, the term “Policy Loan” shall refer to the borrowing effected
by the Trust under the loan documents referenced in Section [ ] of this Trust Agreement.




          2. Following the maturity of the Policy Loan (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
following an event of default or otherwise), if (a) the grantor and/or beneficiaries have not
contributed funds to the Trust on or before three (3) Business Days prior to the maturity date in
an amount sufficient to permit the Trustee to pay the amount due on the Policy Loan in full at the
maturity date, as specified to the Trustee in a written notice delivered to the Trustee by the
Lender, and (b) the Trust does not otherwise have sufficient funds to satisfy the Policy Loan in
full, immediately following receipt by the Trustee of a notice of default from the Lender and a
written demand for the assignment or transfer of the Policy to the Lender or the Designee, the
Trustee is hereby directed to and shall have no discretion not to as soon as is commercially
reasonably practicable thereafter unconditionally and irrevocably transfer and assign the Policy
and any cash or other assets of the Trust to the Lender or the Designee.




          3. Any such transfer and assignment of the Policy shall be effected by the Trustee executing
and delivering on behalf of the Trust to the Lender or the Designee as aforesaid (i) a change of
owner






 




			
	1	 	Substitute “Settlor” for “Grantor” if state trust
law uses Settlor in lieu of Grantor.
	 
	2	 	For avoidance of doubt, the term Lender shall
include any person that acquires the Policy Loan, either via purchase and
assignment or via a participation interest in the loan.




 









 









form changing the owner of the Policy to the Lender or the Designee, (ii) a change in
beneficiary form changing the beneficiary of the Policy to the Lender or the Designee and (iii)
such other documents or instruments as shall be reasonably requested by the Lender for the purpose
of effecting such changes in owner and beneficiary and the transfer and assignment of all right,
title and interest in and to the Policy, each of such forms, documents or instruments to be in the
form provided by Lender to the Trustee. Any funds in the Trust to be transferred shall be
transferred by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by
the Lender to the Trustee.




          4. At any time following the receipt of a written notice from the Lender stating that an event
of default has occurred under the Policy Loan and requesting a delivery to the Lender or the
Designee of the original Policy and all amendments and endorsements thereto and any other documents
related to such Policy, the Trustee is hereby directed to and shall have no discretion not to
unconditionally and irrevocably deliver the original Policy and such other documents to the Lender
or the Designee. If requested in writing at any time by the Lender after the execution and
delivery of the change in owner and change in beneficiary forms referred to in paragraph 3 of this
Article, the Trustee shall execute all documents presented to it for execution by Lender to cause
the relevant insurance carrier to issue a verification of coverage form indicating that ownership
of the Policy and the beneficiary under the Policy have been changed to the Lender or the Designee.




          5. After the transfer of the Policy and Trust assets as provided in Paragraphs (1), (2), (3)
and (4) of this Article, the Trustee shall thereafter arrange for any filings to be made or actions
to be taken by the Trustee or the Trust that are required prior to the termination of the Trust,
including without limitation, the making of any tax or other filings required by law. Upon the
completion of such filing and the taking of such actions, the Trust shall, subject to obtaining the
consent of the Lender and any Designee, terminate and the Trustee thereafter shall have no further
duties, obligations or liabilities whatsoever to the grantor or beneficiaries hereunder or in
connection with or relating to such transfer and assignment. The Trustee shall engage, at the
expense of the Trust, a
firm of independent public accountants (the “Accountants”) to prepare any and all tax returns
of the Trust that may be required. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to the
negligence or misconduct of the Accountants and shall only be obligated to (a) execute tax returns
presented to it by the Accountants and file the same with the appropriate tax authorities and (b)
pay the tax shown to be due on such tax returns, to the to the extent of available funds in the
Trust. The Grantor agrees to contribute sufficient funds to the Trust to provide for the payment
of the Accountants’ tax return preparation fees and to pay any tax shown to be due on such tax
returns, to the extent that the Trust has insufficient funds therefore.




          6. The grantor acknowledges that in the event that the Trustee is required to transfer and
assign all of the Trust’s assets to the Lender under the circumstances described above in
Paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (4) of this Article, the beneficiaries shall receive no benefits under
the Trust or any Policy owned by the Trustees.

interest of the beneficiary in the Trust has been unconditionally and irrevocably assigned and
transferred to the Lender or the Designee, the Trustee shall immediately thereafter reflect on the
books and records of the Trust the assignment and transfer of such beneficial interest to, and the
ownership of such beneficial interest by, the Lender or the Designee.

assigned and re-titled in the name of the Lender or the Designee, as
required by paragraph 2 of this clause, the Lender or Designee shall have the power and right
to direct that the Trust be terminated, after which all of the principal thereof, together with
accumulated income (including any Policy), shall be immediately thereafter unconditionally and
irrevocably paid and distributed to, or re-titled in the name of, the Lender or the Designee by the
Trustee.

Beneficiary agrees that the Trustee in any capacity has not provided and will not provide in the
future, any advice, counsel or opinion regarding the tax, financial, investment or insurance
implications and consequences of the formation, funding and ongoing administration of the Trust,
including, but not limited to, income, gift, and estate

	TRUSTEE OR LIFE INSURANCE TRUSTEE:

	 	[TRUSTEE-NAME], [TRUST-ADDRESS], [TRUST-CITY-STATE] [TRUST-ZIP]





[LENDER-NAME] (the “Lender”) is offering a life insurance premium financing
arrangement (the “Financing Arrangement”) which provides trusts settled by individuals,
such as the Grantor, with financing to purchase and maintain a life insurance policy (the
“Policy”) on the life of certain qualifying individuals, such as the Insured. To obtain
financing under the Financing Arrangement, the Insured or Grantor must settle (or have settled) a
life insurance trust (the “Life Insurance Trust”) under [JURISDICTION] law and the Insured
must consent (or have consented) to the Life Insurance Trust’s application for the Policy. The
Grantor must have an insurable interest in the life of the Insured and all beneficiaries of the
Life Insurance Trust must be individuals or tax-exempt charities with an insurable interest in the
life of the Insured or an estate planning vehicle, all of the owners or beneficiaries of which have
an insurable interest in the life of the Insured.






 









 







In order to participate in the Financing Arrangement, the Life Insurance Trust was required to
execute a Loan Application and Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) and a Promissory Note in
favor of the Lender. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Lender will, subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Loan Agreement, make an advance of funds to, or for the benefit
of, the Life Insurance Trust for the purpose of funding premiums under the Policy. The obligations
of the Life Insurance Trust under the Loan Agreement are secured by a collateral assignment of the
Life Insurance Trust’s interest in the Policy under a collateral assignment agreement between the
Life Insurance Trust and the Collateral Agent (the “Collateral Assignment Agreement”).
The obligations under the Loan Agreement bear a periodic interest at a [FIXED-FLOATING] subject to
a minimum interest rate of nine percent (9%) (in the case of a floating rate) and will be due and
payable upon any date that the principal and interest shall become due and payable in full under
the Loan Agreement, whether at the scheduled maturity under the Promissory Note, by acceleration,
notice of prepayment, or otherwise. The Life Insurance Trust may pre-pay the Loan (including any
accrued interest), in full but not in part, without penalty other than the payment of the Yield
Maintenance Premium in some circumstances, as provided under the Loan Agreement.



Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Loan
Agreement.



Each of the following are events of default under the Loan Agreement and Financing Documents:





Payment Default. Life Insurance Trust fails to make any payment within three (3) Business
Days after the same becomes due and payable under the Loan Agreement, the Promissory Note
or any other Financing Document.




Other Defaults. Life Insurance Trust fails to comply with or to perform any other term,
obligation, covenant or condition contained in the Promissory Note, the Loan Agreement or
in any of the other Financing Documents or to comply with or to perform any term,
obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Life
Insurance Trust or a default occurs under the Promissory Note, Loan Agreement, Security
Agreement or any other Financing Document.




False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by
the Life Insurance Trust, the Insured or on Life Insurance Trust’s behalf under the
Promissory Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Financing Document is false or misleading
in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or
misleading at any time thereafter.




Related Agreements. The Policy, Promissory Note, Loan Agreement, Security Agreement or any
other Financing Document ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any
collateral document to create a valid and perfected



2









 







security interest or lien) at any time and for any reason; the Life Insurance Trust becomes
a revocable trust, contests the validity or enforceability of any Financing Document or
denies that it has any further liability under any Financing Document to which it is a
party, or cancels or terminates, or attempts to cancel or terminate, the Policy; or the
Insurer contests the Policy based on the Life Insurance Trust lacking an insurable interest
in the life of the Insured.




Indebtedness, Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Any garnishment of any of Life Insurance
Trust’s accounts, attachment, lien, levy, additional encumbrance or additional security
interest being placed upon any of the Collateral, or any commencement of foreclosure or
forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any
other method, by any creditor of Life Insurance Trust or by any governmental agency against
any Collateral, and which is not discharged in full within one (1) day of the placement
thereof. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by
the Life Insurance Trust as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the
basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Life Insurance Trust gives Lender
written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or
a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender,
in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.




Insolvency or Default of Life Insurance Trust. The Life Insurance Trust is: (i) dissolved,
liquidated or terminated; (ii) is unable to pay its debts as they mature; (iii) makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iv) is bankrupt or insolvent; (v) seeks
appointment of, or becomes the subject of an order appointing, a trustee, conservator,
liquidator or receiver as to all or part of its assets; (vi) commences, approves or
consents to, or is the debtor in, any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar law, and in the case of an involuntary case or proceeding, such
case or proceeding is not dismissed thirty (30) days following its commencement; (vii) is
the subject of an order for relief in an involuntary case under federal bankruptcy law;
(viii) the Life Insurance Trust defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security
agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other
creditor or person that may materially affect any of Life Insurance Trust’s property or
Life Insurance Trust’s ability to repay the Promissory Note or perform Life Insurance
Trust’s Obligations under the Promissory Note, the Loan Agreement or any of other Financing
Documents; or (ix) Life Insurance Trust violates any Law.




Insolvency or Default of Insured or Guarantor. The Insured or any Guarantor: (i) makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) is adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent; (iii)
seeks appointment of, or becomes the subject of an order appointing, a trustee,
conservator, or receiver as to all or part of his assets; (iv) commences, approves or
consents to, or is the debtor in, any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or similar
law and, in the case of an involuntary case or proceeding, such case or proceeding is not
dismissed thirty (30) days following its



3









 







commencement; (v) is the subject of an order for relief in an involuntary case under
federal bankruptcy law; (vi) Life Insurance` Trust defaults under any loan, extension of
credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor
of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Trust’s property or
Trust’s ability to repay the Obligations; or (vii) any Guarantor defaults under the terms
of the Guaranty.




Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any
Guarantor of any of the indebtedness under the Promissory Note or any Guarantor dies or
becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any
guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by the Promissory Note; in the event of a death,
Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be required to, permit the Guarantor’s estate to
assume unconditionally the obligations arising under the guaranty in a manner satisfactory
to Lender, and, in doing so, cure any Event of Default.




Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Life Insurance Trust’s financial
condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Obligations is
materially impaired.




Cure Provisions. Other than as set forth in the preceding clauses of this Section, failure
by the Life Insurance Trust or Beneficiary, as applicable, to perform in any material
respect any of its obligations under the Promissory Note, Loan Agreement, Security
Agreement or any other Financing Document to which either is a party if such failure is not
remedied on or prior to the fifteenth (15th) day after written notice of such failure is
given to the Life Insurance Trust or the Beneficiary, respectively, by the Lender.

Agreement.
	 
	5.	 	There may be federal, state or local income, gift or estate tax effects of participation in
the Financing Arrangement to the Life Insurance Trust. Participation in the Financing
Arrangement, and termination of participation, could increase the taxable income, taxable
gifts or taxable estate of a participant. The Life Insurance Trust has not relied upon any
advice from the Lender, any life agent or other producer, any insurance company that has
issued the Policy or any other person associated with the Financing Arrangement regarding any
such tax effects.
	 
	6.	 	The Life Insurance Trust and the Trustee have not been paid, directly or indirectly, any
inducement (money, property or otherwise) in connection with the Financing Arrangement or to
obtain the Policy other than reasonable and customary fees for services as Trustee.
	 
	7.	 	None of the Life Insurance Trust, to the actual knowledge of the Trust, the Grantor, the

	10.	 	The Life Insurance Trust (i) has not entered into any contracts or agreements, other than the
Policy and the Financing Arrangement Documents and (ii) after the date hereof, will not,
without the prior written consent of Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld)
enter into any contract or agreement which




5









 






	 	 	could be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Life Insurance Trust’s ability
to perform its obligations under any Financing Arrangement Document or which could
adversely effect Lender’s rights under any Financing Arrangement Documents (as determined
by Lender).






	11.	 	Any claims, questions or controversies arising under or related to in any manner whatsoever
this Disclosure Statement or the transactions contemplated under the Financing Arrangement
including, but not limited to, any challenge by the Life Insurance Trust against the Lender,
its designees and/or third party servicers, any broker, any insurance company or any other
party interested in or related in any way to the Financing Arrangement (each, an
“Interested Third Party”, notwithstanding the fact such parties are not signatories

manner whatsoever this Disclosure Statement or the transactions contemplated under the
Financing Arrangement, (ii) agrees that this Disclosure Statement and the transactions

RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO ANY DEALINGS TO THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
DISCLOSURE STATEMENT OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY OF ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS DISCLOSURE
STATEMENT OR OTHERWISE, OR THE CONDUCT OR THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES HERETO, IN ALL OF
THE FOREGOING CASES WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN

suits brought on behalf of the Lender seeking a temporary





6









 











	 	 	restraining order, preliminary injunction, and/or permanent injunction (“injunctive

irreparable injury, loss, or damage (which immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or
damage may be presumed by law and/or by agreement of the parties). The parties hereby
expressly agree and each Interested Third Party in receipt of this Disclosure Statement
acknowledges, that the arbitration provisions of this section shall not apply to the
Trustee in respect of its rights, duties, protections and immunities under the Trust

Arrangement Documents shall be entitled to rely on the acknowledgments, representations,
warranties and agreements of the Life Insurance Trust herein and in any other Financing
Arrangement Documents.
	 
	13.	 	This document and the other Financing Arrangement Documents to which the Life Insurance Trust

whether such principles are considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
	 
	14.	 	No authorization, approval, consent, franchise, license, covenant, order, ruling, permit,
certification, exemption, notice, declaration or similar right, undertaking or other action
of, to or by, or any filing, qualification or registration with, any Governmental Authority is
required to be obtained by the Life Insurance Trust that has not been obtained or is not in
full force and effect, and no registration, declaration, or filing with any Governmental
Authority is required to be given or made by the Life Insurance Trust to or with, any

	15.	 	No Default or Event of Default with respect to the Life Insurance Trust has occurred and is
continuing. The Life Insurance Trust is not in violation of any Law or Governmental Order
applicable to it or any of its properties or assets. No judicial, administrative or arbitral

reasonable fashion or as otherwise directed by the Collateral Agent.
	 
	17.	 	For so long as any Indebtedness remains outstanding, the Life Insurance Trust hereby
covenants and agrees as follows:






     (a) The Life Insurance Trust shall take such further action and/or execute and deliver

realization of the benefits of any collateral assignment or pledge of the Policy to the
Lender and its assigns.

To the Agents and each of the Lenders party

to the Financing Agreement referred to below





	 	Re: 	 	Imperial Life Financing II, LLC, a Georgia limited liability
company (the “Borrower”)




Ladies and Gentlemen:




     We have acted as special counsel for the Borrower, Imperial Premium Finance, LLC, a Florida
limited liability company (“Imperial”) and Jonathan Neuman and Antony Mitchell (each an
“Individual Guarantor” and collectively, the “Individual Guarantors” and together
with the Borrower and Imperial, each a “Credit Party”, and collectively, the “Credit

Holdings II LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“CTL”), as collateral agent for the
Lenders (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), and CTL, as administrative agent for

referred to in items (a) through (m) above, inclusive, are referred to herein collectively as the

of the documents relating to the creation and organization of the Credit Parties, described herein
below, and such other certificates and documents with respect to the Credit Parties and the
Term Loans as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion:



 









 










The Agents and each of the Lenders party to the

Financing Agreement

     1. A copy of the Articles of Organization of Borrower, filed with the Secretary of State of
Georgia on February 5, 2009, and certified as of a recent date;



     2. A copy of the Articles of Organization of Imperial, filed with the Secretary of State of
Florida on December 14, 2006, and certified as of a recent date;



     3. A certificate issued by the Office of the Secretary of State of Florida, dated as of a
recent date, indicating that Imperial is duly formed, in good standing and validly existing as of
such date;



     4. A copy of Limited Liability Company Agreement of Borrower; and



     5. A copy of Limited Liability Company Agreement of Imperial.



     As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon statements and
certificates of the Credit Parties and public officials. We have made no independent investigation
of the warranties and representations made by the Credit Parties in the Documents or of any related
matters.



     Based on the foregoing, and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set
forth herein, we are of the opinion that:



     1. Imperial is a duly formed and validly existing limited liability company under the laws of
the State of Florida, with the limited liability company power under the Florida Limited Liability
Company Act and its Limited Liability Company Agreement to execute and deliver the Documents to
which it is a party and to perform Imperial’s obligations thereunder.



     2. Based solely on the good standing certificate issued by the Utah Department of Commerce,
Imperial is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation qualified to do business
in Utah.



     3. The execution, delivery and performance of the Documents and the Collateral Value Policy
and the Contingent Lender Protection Insurance Policy have been duly authorized by all necessary
limited liability company action on the part of Imperial under the Limited Liability Company
Agreement of Imperial and have been duly executed and delivered by the Credit Parties party
thereto.



     4. The execution and delivery by the Credit Parties of the Documents to which they are a party
and the performance of their respective obligations thereunder (a) do not violate such Credit
Party’s certificate of formation or its limited liability company agreement; (b) do not violate,
breach or result in a default under any Transaction Document listed on Exhibit “B” hereof to which
such Credit Party is bound, (c) to our knowledge, do not result in the creation or imposition of a
lien, charge or encumbrance upon such Credit Party or any of the property or assets of such Credit
Party (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents), (d) do not violate the Florida Limited Liability



 









 










The Agents and each of the Lenders party to the

Financing Agreement

March 13, 2009

Page 4



Company Act, any New York statute or regulation (excluding however any insurance or premium
finance laws) or any federal statute or regulation (including Regulations T, U, or X of the Board)
that we have, in the exercise of customary professional diligence, recognized as directly
applicable to such Credit Party or to transactions of the type contemplated by the Documents; (e)
to our knowledge, do not violate any judgment, writ, injunction, decree, order or ruling that is
specifically directed to such Credit Party or its properties; and (f) will not, to our knowledge,
result in any suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any material permit
or license applicable to its operations or any of its properties.




     5. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Collateral Value Policy and the
Contingent Lender Protection Insurance Policy and the performance of its obligations thereunder (a)
do not violate the Borrower’s certificate of formation or its limited liability company agreement;
(b) do not violate, breach or result in a default under any Transaction Document listed on Exhibit
“B” hereof to which the Borrower is bound, (c) to our knowledge, do not result in the creation or
imposition of a lien, charge or encumbrance upon the Borrower or any of the property or assets of
the Borrower (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents), (d) to our knowledge, do not violate the
Florida Limited Liability Company Act, any New York statute or regulation (excluding however any
insurance or premium finance laws) or any federal statute or regulation (including Regulations T,
U, or X of the Board) that we have, in the exercise of customary professional diligence, recognized
as directly applicable to the Borrower or to transactions of the type contemplated by the
Collateral Value Policy and the Contingent Lender Protection Insurance Policy; (e) to our
knowledge, do not violate any judgment, writ, injunction, decree, order or ruling that is
specifically directed to the Borrower or its properties; and (f) will not, to our knowledge, result
in any suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any material permit or
license applicable to its operations or any of its properties.



     6. No consent, authorization or approval by, and no notice to or filing with, any Federal,
Florida or New York governmental authority is required (a) in connection with the due execution,
delivery and performance by any Credit Party of any Document to which such Person is a party, or
(b) for the grant by any Credit Party pursuant to any Loan Document, or the perfection, of any lien
or security interest purported to be created thereby in any Collateral, other than (i) the filing
of the Imperial Financing Statement, which has been filed, and (ii) those which have already been
obtained.



     7. Each Opinion Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Credit
Party which is a party thereto, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms,
except as they may be qualified below.



     8. To the extent a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial
Code as currently in effect in the State of New York (the “New York UCC”), the Security Agreement
creates a valid security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents
and the Lenders in the Collateral purported to be covered thereby. To the extent a security
interest may be created under Article 9 of the New York UCC, the Imperial Security



 









 










The Agents and each of the Lenders party to the

Financing Agreement

March 13, 2009

Page 5



Agreement creates a valid security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit
of the Agents and the Lenders in the Collateral purported to be covered thereby.




     9. The Imperial Financing Statement is in appropriate form for filing with the Florida Secured
Transaction Registry (the “Imperial Filing Office”). The description of the Collateral set forth
in the Imperial Financing Statement is sufficient to perfect a security interest in the items and
types of Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing
statement under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as currently in effect in the State of
Florida (the “Florida UCC”).



     10. With respect to that portion of the collateral described in the Imperial Security
Agreement in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement with
the Imperial Filing Office, the filing and recording of the Imperial Financing Statement results in
the perfection of a security interest in Imperial’s interest in such collateral under Article 9 of
the Florida UCC.



     11. Other than nominal recording or filing fees, no fees, taxes or other charges are due or
payable in the State of Florida in connection with the execution, delivery, filing or recordation
of Imperial Financing Statement.



     12. Assuming (i) that the Collateral Agent has taken and is retaining possession in the State
of New York of (a) the stock certificates evidencing the Pledged Shares, together with properly
completed stock powers endorsing the Pledged Shares and executed by the pledgors owning such stock
in blank, and (b) the promissory notes representing the Pledged Debt (as defined in the Security
Agreement) and such promissory notes have been properly endorsed, and (ii) the Collateral Agent has
taken such Pledged Shares and Pledged Debt in good faith without notice having been acquired by the
Collateral Agent or any Lender of any adverse claim within the meaning of the New York UCC, there
has been created under the Security Agreement and Imperial Security Agreement, and there has been
granted to the Collateral Agent, a valid and perfected security interest in the Pledged Shares and
Pledged Debt prior to all other security interests. The opinions in this paragraph 12 with respect
to Pledged Debt is limited solely to Pledged Debt in the form of promissory notes meeting all of
the requirements set forth in paragraph (xviii) below.



     13. We have no actual knowledge of any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding
affecting any Credit Party before any court, arbitrator, or Governmental Authority which may
materially and adversely affect (i) the financial condition, business, performance, properties,
operations or prospects of any Credit Party, (ii) the ability of any Credit Party to perform the
obligations of such Person under any Document to which it is a party, (iii) the legality, validity
or enforceability of any Document, (iv) the rights and remedies of any Agent or any Lender under
any
Opinion Document, or (v) the creation, perfection or priority of the Lien of the Collateral
Agent on any of the Collateral securing the Obligations.

     14. None of the Credit Parties is an “investment company” registered or required to be
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or controlled by such a company.



     15. Assuming that the Opinion Documents are governed by the law of the State of Florida for
the purpose of the opinion set forth in this paragraph, and assuming further that all interest,
including all charges, fees and penalties in the nature of interest, charged or paid in respect of
the Term Loan will not exceed, in the aggregate, 25% per annum simple interest on the actual
principal outstanding from time to time, the Loan Documents do not violate any usury laws of the
State of Florida.



     The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications:



     In rendering the foregoing opinions, we have assumed the following to be true:




          (i) That the signatures on all documents and certificates examined by us are genuine,
and that where any such signature purports to have been made in a corporate, governmental,
fiduciary, or other capacity, the person who affixed such signature to such document or
certificate had authority to do so;




          (ii) The authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity
to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies;




          (iii) Regarding documents (including but not limited to the Documents and the
Collateral Value Policy and the Contingent Lender Protection Insurance Policy) executed by
parties other than the Credit Parties, that such other parties have the corporate or other
entity power to enter into and perform all obligations under such documents, the due
authorization by all requisite corporate or other entity action of the execution, delivery
and performance of the documents by such other parties, and the validity, enforceability and
binding effect of those documents as and to and on such other parties; and that the
execution and delivery of such documents by such other parties was unconditional, except for
conditions to closing expressly set forth within such documents;




          (iv) All applicable Documents have been or will be duly filed, indexed, and recorded
among the appropriate official records, with all fees, charges and taxes having been paid.




          (v) The parties to the Documents and their successors and assigns will (i) act in good
faith and in a commercially reasonable manner in the exercise of any rights or enforcement
of any remedies under the Documents; (ii) not engage in any conduct in the exercise of such
rights or enforcement of such remedies that would constitute other than fair dealing; and
(iii) comply with all requirements of applicable procedural and substantive law in
exercising any rights or enforcing any remedies under the Documents.

          (vi) Borrower has the title or other interest in each item of personal property
described in the Security Agreement in which a security interest is purported to be granted
under the Security Agreement free and clear of any claims, liens, restrictions, security
interests, or other interests or rights of any person, other than Lender and other than as
set forth in the Documents.




          (vii) Imperial has the title or other interest in each item of personal property
described in the Imperial Security Agreement in which a security interest is purported to be
granted under the Imperial Security Agreement free and clear of any claims, liens,
restrictions, security interests, or other interests or rights of any person, other than
Lender and other than as set forth in the Documents.




          (viii) The Documents accurately describe and contain the complete and mutual
understanding of the parties, and there are no oral or written statements or agreements that
modify, amend, or vary, or purport to modify, amend, or vary, any of the terms of the
Documents.




          (ix) No interest, charges, fees, or other benefits or compensation in the nature of
interest will be paid or charged in connection with the Term Loans, other than those that
Borrower has specifically agreed in writing in the Documents to pay to Lenders.




          (x) Each of the parties has complied with the requirement and implied covenant of good
faith and fair dealing.




          (xi) There has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud,
concealment, misrepresentation, duress or undue influence, or criminal activity with respect
to the transactions contemplated by the Documents.




          (xii) Lenders have complied with all applicable laws.




          (xiii) The Documents will be enforced in circumstances and in a manner which are
commercially reasonable.




          (xiv) The execution of the Documents by each of the parties, in the form in which the
Documents have been executed by each of the parties, is sufficient to bind such parties and
be legal, valid, binding, and enforceable against each of the parties under the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of New York that may be determined to govern any
aspect of the interpretation, construction, or enforcement of the Loan Documents or any
right or obligation thereunder.




          (xv) Each Credit Party has, or has the power to transfer, rights in its interest in the
Collateral, and value (as described in Section 679.2031 of the Florida UCC or Section 9-203

The Agents and each of the Lenders party to the

March 13, 2009

Page 8





          (xvi) Each party to the Documents is receiving adequate consideration with respect to
the execution and delivery of the Documents to which it is a party.




          (xvii) The Credit Parties have complied, and each Document complies, with any
applicable statutory licensing provisions and regulations relating to premium finance
companies and premium finance loans.




          (xviii) The promissory notes representing the Pledged Debt are negotiable instruments
and such promissory notes will be taken by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Lenders (a) for value, (b) in good faith, (c) without notice that the instrument is overdue
or has been dishonored or of any defense against or claim to it on the part of any person.



     In addition to the assumptions set forth above, the opinions set forth above are also subject
to the following qualifications:




          i. The enforceability of the Documents and the availability of certain remedies
thereunder, including but not limited to, specific performance and injunctive relief, may be
subject to or limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, equitable subordination, or other similar
laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally; (b) general equitable
principles and the exercise of judicial discretion in the application thereof, regardless of
whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity; and (c) in
that certain of the remedial provisions may be limited by applicable law, provided that such
limitations of the remedial provisions do not make the remedies provided for therein
inadequate for the practical realization of the benefits of the security intended to be
afforded thereby.




          ii. Anything in this opinion to the contrary notwithstanding, we express no opinion
whatsoever concerning (a) any agreement, document, or instrument, other than the Documents
and the Collateral Value Policy and the Contingent Lender Protection Insurance Policy
(“Other Documents”), regardless of whether such agreement, document, or instrument is
related to, referenced in or a condition of or requirement to the Documents; (b) any term,
condition, or provision of or reference in the Documents that is governed in whole or in
part by any of the Other Documents; and (c) the performance of any obligation or the
compliance with any term of the Documents after the date of this opinion.




          iii. The enforceability of the Documents is further subject to the qualification that
certain waivers (including, without limitation, waivers of jury trial, waivers of stay,
waivers of counterclaims, notice, and rights of redemption, unknown future rights, or
defenses to obligations), procedures, remedies, grants, claims, actions, consents to
jurisdiction and other provisions of the Documents may be unenforceable under, or limited
by, in whole or in part, the law of the State of New York or by Federal law. However, such

limitations do not, in our opinion, substantially prevent the practical realization of
the benefits intended by the Documents.




          iv. Any provision of the Documents granting so-called “self-help” or extrajudicial
remedies may not be enforceable.

          (a) Organization and Good Standing. The Assignee has been duly organized and is

Illinois, and has power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such

and deliver this Assignment Agreement and to carry out its terms; the Assignee shall have full

Requirements of Law with respect to it, its business and properties and the Insurance Premium Loans

Policy related thereto.
	 
	          (c) Preservation of Existence. The Assignor will preserve and maintain its existence,
rights, franchises and privileges as a limited liability company or corporation, as applicable, and
become and remain licensed in each jurisdiction where the failure to maintain such license would
materially and adversely affect (A) the interests of the Assignee hereunder or (B) the
collectibility of any Insurance Premium Loans in which an interest has been transferred hereunder
or the related Life Insurance Policies; and the Assignor shall not consolidate with or merge into
any other Person or convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to
any Person without the prior written consent of the Assignee.
	 
	          (d) Performance and Compliance with Insurance Premium Loans. The Assignor will, at
its expense, timely and fully perform and comply with all provisions, covenants and other promises

6









 










reasonable judgment of the Assignor, be fair and equitable to the Assignee. The Assignor shall
not acquire any obligations of the Assignee.




          (g) Responsibility of Assignor. The Assignor will not agree to be, or hold itself out
to be, responsible for the debts of the Assignee or for the decisions or actions with respect to
the daily business and affairs of the Assignee.




          (h) Reporting Requirements.




     (i) As soon as possible and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the Assignor
obtains knowledge thereof, the Assignor shall notify the Assignee of any litigation, investigation
or proceeding that could reasonably be expected to impair in any material respect the ability of
the Assignor to perform its obligations under this Assignee Agreement.



     (ii) The Assignor shall promptly deliver to the Assignee such other information, documents,
records or reports regarding the Insurance Premium Loans in which an interest has been transferred
hereunder and related Life Insurance Policies as the Assignee may from time to time reasonably
request in order to protect the Assignee’s interests under or as contemplated by this Assignment
Agreement..



          (i) No Bankruptcy Filing Against Assignee. The Assignor will not commence, institute
or cause to be commenced or instituted any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy
or similar law, against the Assignee or join in the commencement of any proceeding against the
Assignee under any such law.




          (j) Insurance Premium Loans. After the Effective Date, the Assignor will not sell or
assign any interests in more than two (2) out of every three (3) Insurance Premium Loans to any
Person other than the Assignee until the Commitments under the Financing Agreement have been
terminated; provided, that the Assignor is acting in good faith in connection with such
sales or assignments and has not selected the Insurance Premium Loans to be sold and assigned to
the Assignee based on the perceived quality of credit of any Insurance Premium Loan.




               6. Sale. It is the intention of the parties that the conveyance of the Insurance
Premium Loans hereunder constitute a sale and not pledges of security for a loan and the parties
will treat such conveyance as a sale for tax and accounting purposes. The parties acknowledge and
agree that the transactions contemplated by this Assignment Agreement shall be, and shall be
treated as a purchase by the Assignor and a sale by the Assignee of the Insurance Premium Loans
hereunder, and not as a lending transaction or the grant of a security interest in the Insurance
Premium Loans hereunder, such that the Insurance Premium Loans hereunder shall not be part of the
bankruptcy estate of the Assignor under Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code or subject to the
automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law. However, if the
conveyances of such Insurance Premium Loans were not characterized by a court of law as sales of
Insurance Premium Loans or a court of law determined that the consideration for the conveyance of
the Insurance Premium Loans hereunder did not represent fair value, then such conveyances of such
Insurance Premium Loans shall be considered a capital contribution to the Assignee (or, in the case
where the consideration for the conveyances of the



7









 




Insurance Premium Loans did not represent fair value, capital contributions to the extent of
any shortfall in fair value).




               7. Settlement Date. Following the execution of this Assignment Agreement by the
Assignor and the Assignee, it will be delivered by the Assignor to the Collateral Agent and the
Insurance Collateral Agent. The effective date of this Assignment Agreement (the “Settlement
Date”) shall be the latest of (a) the date of the execution hereof by the Assignor and the
Assignee, (b) the date this Assignment Agreement has been delivered to the Collateral Agent and the
Insurance Collateral Agent, (c) the settlement date specified on Annex I, and (d) the
receipt by Assignor of the Purchase Price specified in Annex I.



               8. Rights. As of the Settlement Date (a) the Assignee shall be a party to the Loan
Documentation Package and, to the extent of the interest assigned pursuant to this Assignment
Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder, and (b) the Assignor shall, to
the extent of the interest assigned pursuant to this Assignment Agreement, subject to the
provisions of any Servicing Agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations
under the Loan Documentation Package.



               9. Adjustments. The Assignor and the Assignee shall make all appropriate adjustments
in payments under the Loan Documentation Package for periods prior to the Settlement Date directly
between themselves on the Settlement Date.



               10. Governing Law. THIS ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.



               11. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS ASSIGNMENT
AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDING OR
COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.



               12. Counterparts. This Assignment Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Assignment
Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be equally effective as delivery of an original
executed counterpart.



               13. Indemnification. Without limiting any other rights that the Assignee may have
hereunder or under any applicable law, the Assignor hereby agrees to indemnify the Assignee and the
Indemnitees from and against any and all amounts awarded against or incurred by any of them, and
arising out of or resulting from this Assignment Agreement or the activities of the Assignor in
connection herewith or in respect of any Insurance Premium Loan in which an interest has been
transferred hereunder or related Life Insurance Policy that are sustained as a result of:



8









 





     (i) any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Assignor under this Assignment
Agreement, or any other document, certificate or report delivered by the Assignor hereunder that
was incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made or that the Assignor failed to
perform;



     (ii) the failure by the Assignor to comply with this Assignment Agreement, the Transaction
Documents, the Loan Documents, or any Requirement of Law with respect to any Insurance Premium Loan
or Life Insurance Policy;



     (iii) any commingling by the Assignor of Collections with other funds of the Assignor or any
of its Affiliates; or



     (iv) any breach by the Assignor of any obligation under any Insurance Premium Loan in which an
interest has been transferred hereunder or related Life Insurance Policy.



     The foregoing indemnity excludes (a) losses on Insurance Premium Loans in which an interest
has been transferred hereunder to the extent reimbursement therefor would constitute credit
recourse to the Assignor for nonpayment of any Insurance Premium Loan in which an interest has been
transferred hereunder by the related obligor and (b) any income or franchise taxes or similar taxes
(or any interest or penalties on them).



               14. Amendment. This Assignment Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Assignor and the Assignee in writing with the prior written consent of the Agents and the Required
Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereby agree that no amendment, modification
or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Assignment Agreement that (a) prior
to the occurrence of a Credit Event (as defined in the Collateral Value Insurance Policy) would, in
the reasonable belief of any party hereto, be likely to adversely affect the interests of the
Collateral Value Insurer shall in any event be made or become effective unless the same shall be
consented to by the Collateral Value Insurer in writing or (b) following the occurrence of a Credit
Event, would, in the reasonable belief of any party hereto, be likely to adversely affect the
interests of the Contingent Collateral Value Insurer shall in any event be made or become effective
unless the same shall be consented to by the Contingent Collateral Value Insurer in writing. In
all events, copies of any amendments to this Agreement shall be promptly provided to (x) the
Collateral Value Insurer prior to the occurrence of a Credit Event and (y) the Contingent
Collateral Value Insurer following the occurrence of a Credit Event, by the Assignee following
execution thereof. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Collateral Value Insurer and the
Contingent Collateral Value Insurer are third party beneficiaries solely with respect to this
Section 14, and shall have no rights with respect to any other provisions of this Assignment
Agreement. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the each of the Agents and the Lenders is a
third party beneficiary with respect to this Assignment Agreement.

               (a) The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this
Agreement, including the Glossary of Defined Terms, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and
not to any particular provision of this Agreement; article, section, subsection, exhibit and

          SECTION 1.03 Computation of Time Periods. Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement,

ARTICLE II.




TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS IN INSURANCE PREMIUM LOANS



          SECTION 2.01 Transfers of Interests in Insurance Premium Loans. On the terms and
subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Originator shall, on the Effective Date and from
time to time thereafter, sell and transfer to the Participant without recourse, and the Participant
shall, on the Effective Date and from time to time thereafter purchase from the Originator (any
such sale, transfer, purchase and acquisition is herein referred to as a “Transfer”), a
participation interest in each Insurance Premium Loan originated by the Originator in an Applicable
Licensed State.




ARTICLE III.




PARTICIPATIONS



          SECTION 3.01 Transfers. (a) On the terms and conditions set forth herein, during the
Effective Period and on and as of the related Transfer Effective Date, the Originator hereby sells,
transfers and assigns to the Participant, and the Participant hereby purchases and acquires from
the Originator, with respect to each Insurance Premium Loan made by the Originator in an Applicable
Licensed State identified in a Participation Certificate (as defined herein), a participation
evidencing a 100% undivided beneficial ownership interest (each, a “Participation”) in all of the
Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under (i) such Insurance Premium Loan, the
related promissory note and all other documents in the Loan Documentation Package for such
Insurance Premium Loan and all right, title and interest of the Originator in the Collateral
(including any related Life Insurance Policies) and (ii) all Collections thereon received by the
Originator on or after the Transfer Effective Date, including all cash proceeds received with
respect to such Insurance Premium Loans and all related security (including “proceeds” as defined
in the UCC of the jurisdiction whose law governs the perfection of an interest in such Insurance
Premium Loans). On each Transfer Effective Date, the Participant and the Originator shall execute
a participation certificate in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (each a “Participation
Certificate”). Each Participation Certificate shall be deemed to incorporate in its entirety,
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all representations, warranties, agreements and
covenants made hereunder shall be deemed to have been made in respect of the Insurance Premium
Loans the subject of the Participation Certificate as of the applicable Transfer Effective Date.




               (b) The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the conveyance of the Insurance Premium Loans
is being effected hereunder by Participations instead of outright assignments and (ii) accordingly,
the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Participations in the Insurance Premium Loans
hereunder shall have the consequence that the Originator holds legal title and not an equitable
interest in such Insurance Premium Loans and the Participant holds 100% of the equitable interest
in such Insurance Premium Loans. The Originator acknowledges and agrees that, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, it holds legal title to such Insurance Premium Loans as trustee
for the benefit of the Participant and its successors and assigns. However, notwithstanding any
other provision herein, the Originator
and the Participant agree and acknowledge that the Originator shall remain the lender of
record on all Insurance Premium Loans in which a Participation has been transferred hereunder. The



2









 







parties acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be, and
shall be treated as a purchase by the Participant and a sale by the Originator of Participations in
the Insurance Premium Loans hereunder, and not as a lending transaction or the grant of a security
interest in Participations in the Insurance Premium Loans hereunder, such that the Participations
in the Insurance Premium Loans hereunder shall not be part of the bankruptcy estate of the
Originator under Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code or subject to the automatic stay under Section
362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law.



               (c) Subject to Section 5.03, the Participations sold, transferred, assigned and conveyed
hereunder in such Insurance Premium Loans are final and irrevocable from and after the Transfer
Effective Date, and neither the Participant nor the Originator shall have any right to require that
any such Participation terminate or be repurchased by the Originator from the Participant and be
extinguished.



               (d) It is the intention of the parties that the conveyance of the Insurance Premium Loans to
the Participant effected by this Agreement constitute sales of Participations in such Insurance
Premium Loans and not pledges of security for a loan. However, if the conveyances of such
Insurance Premium Loans were not characterized by a court of law as sales of Participations or a
court of law determined that the consideration for the Participations did not represent fair value,
then such conveyances of such Insurance Premium Loans shall be considered a capital contribution to
the Participant (or, in the case where the consideration for the Participations did not represent
fair value, capital contributions to the extent of any shortfall in fair value).



          SECTION 3.02 Payment of Purchase Price. In consideration of the Transfer of each
Participation from the Originator to the Participant as provided in Section 3.01, on each Transfer
Effective Date the Participant agrees to pay the Originator an amount equal to the Purchase Price
for each such Participation purchased by the Participant hereunder.




               (a) Initial Purchase Price Payment. On the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement, the Participant agrees to pay to the Originator the Purchase Price in cash
for the purchase to be made from the Originator on the Effective Date.



               (b) Subsequent Purchase Price Payments. On each Transfer Effective Date subsequent to
the Effective Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the
Participant shall pay to the Originator the Purchase Price for the Participations being sold by the
Originator on such Transfer Effective Date in cash.



          SECTION 3.03 Payments to Participant. Whenever the Originator receives or collects a
payment in respect of any Insurance Premium Loan subject to a Participation, it will pay over the
same to the Participant in the same funds as received promptly after its receipt thereof and in any
event within one Business Day of its receipt thereof.

Participant, stating that a Participation in such Insurance Premium Loan, the related promissory
note and all other documents in the Loan Documentation Package for such Insurance Premium Loan and
Collections with respect thereto and other proceeds thereof, has been sold in accordance with this
Agreement, and the Originator further agrees not to alter such file designation with respect to any
applicable Insurance Premium Loan in which a Participation has been transferred hereunder during
the term of this Agreement;



               (b) On each Transfer Effective Date, the following statements shall be true:




               (i) all of the Originator’s representations and warranties contained in Section 5.01
are correct on and as of such date as though made on and as of such date; and




               (ii) no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Transfer, that
constitutes an Event of Termination or would constitute an Event of Termination but for the
requirement that notice be given or that time elapse or both;



               (c) On each Transfer Effective Date, the Originator and the Participant shall have executed a

          The acceptance by the Originator of the Purchase Price for any Participation shall be deemed
to be a representation and warranty by the Originator as to the matters set forth in this Section.




ARTICLE V.

               (a) Organization and Good Standing. The Originator has been duly organized and is
validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the state of its
incorporation or formation, and has power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its

5









 





               (b) Due Qualification. The Originator is duly qualified to do business (or is exempt
from such qualification requirements) and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each
jurisdiction in which failure to so qualify or to obtain such licenses or approvals would have a
material adverse effect on the Originator’s ability to perform its obligations as the Originator
under this Agreement.



               (c) Due Authorization. The Originator’s execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other agreements and instruments executed or to be executed by the Originator

Originator.



               (d) Binding Obligation. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Originator enforceable against the Originator in accordance with its terms,
except as enforceability may be limited by insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar
laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity whether considered in
a suit at law or in equity.



               (e) No Conflict. The Originator’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, its
performance of the transactions contemplated hereby and its fulfillment of the terms hereof
applicable to the Originator do not (i) contravene the Originator’s organizational or governing
documents, (ii) conflict with or violate any applicable law, (iii) violate any provision of, or

any breach of (A) any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse
of time or both) a default under any Insurance Premium Loan or (B) any of the terms or provisions
of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any indenture,
contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Originator is a party
or by which it or its properties or assets are bound.



               (f) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings, injunctions, writs, restraining orders
or investigations pending or, to the best knowledge of the Originator, threatened against the
Originator before any governmental authority (i) asserting the illegality, invalidity or
unenforceability, or seeking any determination or ruling that would affect the legality, validity
or enforceability, of the Loan Documents, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii)
seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents,
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (iii)
seeking any determination or ruling that, if adversely determined, could have a material and
adverse effect on the financial condition or operations of the Originator or the validity or
enforceability of, or the performance by the Originator of its obligations under, this Agreement or
(iv) seeking to affect adversely the income tax attributes or other tax attributes of the
Originator under the U.S. federal or the State of Florida, as applicable, tax systems. There are
no proceedings, injunctions, writs, restraining orders or investigations pending with respect to
any Insurance Premium Loan a Participation in which is being sold to the Participant, or the
related Life Insurance Policy, before any governmental authority asserting the illegality,
invalidity or unenforceability, or seeking any determination or ruling that would affect the



6









 







legality, validity or enforceability, of any such Insurance Premium Loan or the related Life
Insurance Policy.



               (g) No Consents. No authorization, consent, license, order or approval of, or
registration or declaration with, any Person, including any governmental authority, is required for
the Originator in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Originator or
the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except for (i) the filing of the financing
statements or other documents required to have been filed on or prior to the Effective Date or
applicable Transfer Effective Date pursuant to Section 4.01, all of which were so filed and are in
full force and effect, (ii) the filing from time to time of any amendments, assignments or
continuation statements which may become applicable pursuant to this Agreement or (iii) the
exercise by the Participant or its assigns of the rights provided for in this Agreement or the
remedies in respect of any Insurance Premium Loans a Participation in which is sold, transferred,
assigned or otherwise conveyed by the Originator to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement.



               (h) Liens. Each Insurance Premium Loan in which a Participation has been transferred
hereunder is owned by the Originator free and clear of any Lien (subject to the Participations
therein), and the Originator has not either created or consented to the creation of any Lien
affecting any Insurance Premium Loan in which a Participation has been transferred hereunder or any
related Life Insurance Policy other than the Liens contemplated by this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents.



               (i) Location. As of the Effective Date, the chief executive office of the Originator,
and the office where the Originator keeps its copy of the Transaction Documents and Records, is

               (j) Valid Transfers. This Agreement constitutes a valid sale, transfer and assignment
to the Participant of Participations in the Originator’s entire right, title and interest in and to
the Insurance Premium Loans in which a Participation has been transferred hereunder, whether now
existing or hereafter created (including all monies due or to become due with respect to such
Insurance Premium Loans, all proceeds (including “proceeds” as defined in the UCC of the
jurisdiction whose law governs the perfection of an interest in such Insurance Premium Loans) of
such Insurance Premium Loans and all cash proceeds of any related security). If an Event of
Bankruptcy were to occur with respect to the Originator, the right to retain the Insurance Premium
Loans (including all monies due or to become due with respect to such Insurance Premium Loans, all
proceeds of such Insurance Premium Loans and all cash proceeds of any related security) would not
be deemed to be property of the Originator. If and to
the extent the sale of the Participations in the Insurance Premium Loans under this Agreement
is not deemed to be or is not recognized as a sale by a court of law, the conveyance of the
interest in the Insurance Premium Loans created on or after the applicable Transfer Effective Date,
shall to the extent set forth in Section 3.01(d) be considered a capital contribution to the
Participant.



               (k) Solvency. The Originator is solvent and will not become insolvent after giving
effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Originator is currently repaying
all of its indebtedness as such indebtedness becomes due; and, after giving



7









 







effect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Originator will have adequate capital to conduct
its business as presently conducted and as contemplated by this Agreement.



               (l) Compliance. The Originator has complied, and will comply on each Transfer
Effective Date, with all Requirements of Law with respect to it, its business and properties and
all Insurance Premium Loans and the Life Insurance Policy related thereto. The Originator has
obtained and will maintain all applicable permits, certifications and licenses (including all
licenses to originate Insurance Premium Loans) necessary with respect to its business and
properties and all Insurance Premium Loans and the Life Insurance Policy related thereto.



               (m) No Rescission. Neither any Insurance Premium Loans in which a Participation is
sold hereunder nor the related Life Insurance Policy has been subordinated or rescinded or, except
as disclosed in writing to the Participant, amended in any manner.



               (n) No Event of Bankruptcy. No Event of Bankruptcy has occurred with respect to the
Originator.



               (o) Fraudulent Conveyance. The Originator is not entering into the transactions
contemplated hereby with any intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors.



               (p) Insurance Premium Loans.




               (i) As of each Transfer Effective Date, each Insurance Premium Loan in which a
Participation is granted or sold by the Originator hereunder is an Eligible Insurance
Premium Loan and the grant, sale and purchase hereunder of a Participation in such Insurance
Premium Loans and Collections arising thereunder do not conflict with, result in a breach of
any of the provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a
default under, any agreements evidencing such Insurance Premium Loan;




               (ii) As of any Transfer Effective Date, each Insurance Premium Loan on such date is the
valid, binding and enforceable obligation of each Obligor thereunder;




               (iii) As of any Transfer Effective Date, each Insurance Premium Loan on such date was
originated by the Originator in the ordinary course of the Originator’s premium finance
lending activities and in accordance with all Requirements of Law;




               (iv) As of any Transfer Effective Date, the information set forth in the applicable
Participation Certificate with respect to each Insurance Premium Loan therein was correct;




               (v) With respect to each Insurance Premium Loan in which a Participation is granted or
sold by the Originator, the Originator represents and warrants that each such Insurance
Premium Loans has been originated in accordance with the applicable criteria set forth in
the Transaction Documents;



8









 






               (vi) As of any Transfer Effective Date, no payment default exists with respect to any
Insurance Premium Loan;




               (vii) As of any Transfer Effective Date, no event or circumstance under Section V.A or
Section V.B of the Collateral Value Policy or Contingent Collateral Value Policy has
occurred;




               (viii) As of any Transfer Effective Date, the Originator (A) has not committed a
Prohibited Act (as defined in the Collateral Value Policy or Contingent Collateral Value
Policy) and (B) is not aware that any Prohibited Act has been committed by any Person with
respect to an Insurance Premium Loan in which a Participation is granted or sold by the
Originator; and




               (ix) As of any Transfer Effective Date, no policy loan, cash withdrawal or surrender
has occurred with respect to the Life Insurance Policy related to the Insurance Premium Loan
in which a Participation is granted or sold by the Originator.



               (q) Legal Names. As of the Effective Date, the legal name of the Originator is as set
forth on the signature pages of this Agreement.



               (r) ERISA. With respect to any Plan maintained or participated in during the past six
years by the Originator or any of its ERISA Affiliates, (i) such Plan complied and complies in all
material respects with all Requirements of Law, (ii) a Reportable Event has not occurred with
respect to any such Plan, (iii) such Plan has not been terminated and (iv) no funding deficiency
has occurred in respect of any such Plan, except, in each case, where the occurrence of any of the
foregoing could not be reasonably expected to result in liability to such Seller or any such ERISA
Affiliate in excess of $50,000 or result in a Lien against the Participations, or any related
Insurance Premium Loans or related Life Insurance Policies (or any portion thereof). With respect
to any such Plan that is intended to qualify for special tax treatment under Sections 401(a) or
403(a) of the Code, such Plan is in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code for
such qualifications.



               (s) Margin Regulations. The Originator will not use any of the proceeds of the
Purchase Price for any purpose which will conflict with or contravene any of Regulations T, U or X
promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board from time to time.



               (t) Reasonably Equivalent Value. The Participant has given reasonably equivalent
value to the Originator in consideration for each purchase of a Participation under this Agreement,
no such transfer has been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Originator to
the Participant, and no such transfer is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.



               (u) Accuracy of Information. All certificates, reports, statements, documents and
other information furnished to the Participant by or on behalf of the Originator pursuant to any

local tax returns which it is required to file and has paid all Taxes, assessments and other
governmental charges due in respect of its respective returns, except to the extent that any such
Taxes, assessments or other governmental charges are being contested in good faith and as to which
the Originator has set aside on its books adequate reserves and in respect of which no Liens have
attached to or been filed against the Originator or any of its properties. There are no agreements
or waivers extending the statutory period of limitations applicable to any federal income tax
return of the Originator for any period.



               (w) Investment Company Act. The Originator is not an “investment company” within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.



               (x) Quality of Title. No effective financing statement or other similar instrument is
in effect covering any of the Insurance Premium Loans in which a Participation has been transferred
hereunder or any interest therein that has been filed, authorized, acknowledged or otherwise
permitted by the Originator or any Affiliate thereof in any recording office except for financing
statements that may be filed (x) in favor of the Collateral Agent in accordance with the Security
Agreement, (y) in favor of the Participant under this Agreement, and/or (z) in favor of the
Originator under the related Loan Document Package.



          SECTION 5.02 Representations and Warranties of the Participant. The Participant
hereby represents and warrants to the Originator as of the Effective Date and each Transfer
Effective Date that:

ARTICLE VI.




CONFIDENTIALITY



          SECTION 6.01 General Duty. Each party hereto agrees that (i) each of the Transaction
Documents and its contents, (ii) each Loan Documentation Package and its contents, (iii) all
medical and personal information concerning the Underlying Lives and Premium Finance Borrowers,
(iv) the identity of and information concerning payments to brokers or other similar parties
involved in the sourcing, negotiation and funding of any Insurance Premium Loan, (v) any
information supplied by either party and marked confidential, restricted or proprietary or that
otherwise reasonably could be expected to be confidential in nature regarding its customers and
prospective customers, account information, products and services, vendors, financial, technical or
marketing information, business or marketing strategies, operating policies and procedures, in
whatever form, in each case to the extent not in the public domain when transmitted by one party to
another, not published or otherwise become part of the public domain (through no fault of the
receiving party) after transmission, not known to the receiving party prior to transmission or
through disclosure by a third party with a lawful right to make such disclosure (and not to the
knowledge of the recipient of such information bound by any duty to the transmitting party to keep
such information confidential) and not independently developed by the receiving party, comprise
“Confidential Information”.




          SECTION 6.02 Reasonable Precautions. Each party hereto shall safeguard and hold as
confidential all Confidential Information, and shall use such information solely for the purposes
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, in each case other than its own Confidential Information
to the extent appropriately disclosed to others in connection with its business unrelated to the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each party hereto shall take such
precautions as may be lawful and reasonably necessary to restrain its officers, directors,
employees, agents or representatives from disclosure of all Confidential Information to any other
Person other than to its own officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives that have a
need to know such information in order for such party to perform its obligations under the
Transaction Documents, other than its own Confidential Information to the extent appropriately
disclosed to others in connection with its business unrelated to the transactions contemplated by
the Transaction Documents. If any
party reasonably and in good faith determines that it is required by law (or by subpoena,
discovery request, search warrant or similar legal process) to disclose any Confidential
Information to a third party (other than a regulator that regulates the Originator or any of its
Affiliates), such party promptly shall notify the other of such situation or of its receipt of such
legal process and shall reasonably cooperate with such other party in an effort to quash such legal
process or to seek a protective order or other appropriate relief. Upon the termination or
expiration of this Agreement, each party hereto promptly shall return to the other all Confidential
Information of such other party that is within its custody and control. Each party hereto agrees
that legal remedies may be insufficient for a breach of the duties specified in this Section 6.02,
and that each party shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent disclosure of and cause the
return of Confidential Information as contemplated herein, in addition to any other legal or
equitable remedies available to such party.




          SECTION 6.03 Dissemination of Certain Information. Each party hereto shall at all
times comply with all laws and regulations applicable to it in the performance of its duties
hereunder and affecting the Insurance Premium Loans and related Collateral (including any Life



15









 






Insurance Policies) and the negotiation, documentation, funding and servicing thereof, including
laws and regulations regarding the privacy of any Underlying Life or Premium Finance Borrower and
the maintenance of all information obtained by the Originator and/or the Participant in the
performance of their duties in accordance with applicable laws and regulations concerning the
dissemination of such information; provided that any party may disclose such information to
competent judicial or regulatory authorities in response to a written request therefrom for such
information or as otherwise reasonably and in faith determined to be required by law; provided,
however, that (i) no party shall disclose such information to such judicial or regulatory
authorities before the date set forth in such request therefor and (ii) each party shall provide
the other with prompt notice to the extent permitted by law or regulation of such request, in order
to permit such other party, at its own expense, to seek judicial or other relief before such
information is disclosed.




          SECTION 6.04 Monitoring. In recognition of the Originator’s responsibilities
under the Gramm Leach Bliley Act, Section 501(b) (15 U.S.C. 6801) and the Interagency Guidelines

represents and warrants that it maintains an information security program designed to: (i) ensure
the security and confidentiality of customer information, (ii) protect against any anticipated
threats or hazards to the security or integrity of customer information, (iii) protect against
unauthorized access to or use of customer information that could result in substantial harm or
inconvenience to any customer of the Originator and (iv) ensure proper disposal of consumer and
customer information as required by applicable law, in each case only with respect to customer
information actually in the possession and control of the Participant received in connection with
an Insurance Premium Loan. The Participant agrees promptly to notify the Originator of any
security breaches that relate to Confidential Information supplied by the Originator.

Event of Termination shall occur as of the date set forth in such notice. Upon the occurrence of
