respective businesses, assets, employees, officers and directors are in full force and effect. The
Company, the Guarantor and each of their respective Significant Subsidiaries are in compliance with

U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system and (ii) the Company shall not be an open-end

Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or it is not exempt from such reporting requirements
pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, provide to each Holder of
the Securities, upon the request of such Holder, any information required to be provided by
Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. If the Company is required to register under the

redemption date and maturity date) on the Replacement Securities vary by more than sixty (60)
calendar days from the original interest payment dates (and corresponding redemption date and

Company pursuant to such documents.

taxes payable in connection therewith; (ii) the fees and expenses of counsel, accountants and any
other experts or advisors retained by the Company and the Guarantor; and (iv) the fees and all

     8. Indemnification. (a) The Company and the Guarantor jointly and severally agree to
indemnify and hold harmless Wilmington, the Holders, Kodiak, Kodiak CDO Management, LLC, and their
respective affiliates and each person, if any, who controls any of the Indemnified Parties within
the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and the Indemnified Parties’ respective
directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any and
all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Indemnified Parties may
become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law
or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based on (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any information or documents furnished or made
available by or on behalf of the Company or the Guarantor, (ii) any omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein,
not misleading, or (iii) the breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, or agreement
of the Company or the Guarantor contained herein, or (iv) the execution and delivery by the Company
and/or the Guarantor of the Operative Documents and the consummation by the Company and/r the
Guarantor, as applicable, of the transactions contemplated herein and therein, and agrees to
reimburse each such Indemnified Party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
that the Company and the Guarantor may otherwise have.



          (b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this Section 8 of notice of the
commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, promptly notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will
not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under paragraph (a) above unless and to the
extent that such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of material rights and
defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to
any Indemnified Party other than the indemnification obligation provided in




- 23 -









 




paragraph (a) above. The Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to appoint counsel to
represent the Indemnified Parties in any action for which indemnification is sought. An
indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided,
that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the Indemnified Party)
also be counsel to the Indemnified Party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for
fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their
own counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar
or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstances, unless an Indemnified Party elects to engage separate counsel because such
Indemnified Party believes that its interests are not aligned with the interests of another
Indemnified Party or that a conflict of interest might result. An indemnifying party will not,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Parties, settle or compromise or consent to
the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or
proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
Indemnified Parties are actual or potential parties to such claim, action, suit or proceeding)
unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified
Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.




     9. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements,
representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company, the Guarantor and/or
their respective officers and of Kodiak set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain
in full force and effect and will survive the Exchange. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 shall
survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.



     10. Recourse to Kodiak. Recourse hereunder solely with respect to Kodiak shall be limited
solely to the assets of the applicable Kodiak entity. No recourse will be available to the assets
of any collateral manager to Kodiak including without limitation, Kodiak CDO Management, LLC for
any reason or purpose whatsoever. To the extent the assets of any Kodiak entity or the proceeds of
such assets, when applied in accordance with the applicable priority of payment to which such
assets or proceeds are subject, are insufficient to meet the obligations of such Kodiak entity
hereunder in full, no Kodiak entity shall have further liability in respect of such outstanding
obligations and such outstanding obligations shall be extinguished. The company hereby agrees not
to institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, any Kodiak entity, any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings or other
proceedings under U.S. federal or state bankruptcy or similar laws until at least one year and one
day or the then applicable preference period under the United States Bankruptcy Code, Title 11 of
the United States Code, as amended, or, where the context requires, the applicable insolvency
provisions of the laws of the Cayman Islands plus ten (10) days after the payment in full of all
the Securities; provided, that nothing in this Section 10 shall preclude the Company from taking
any action against any applicable Kodiak entity prior to the expiration of the aforementioned
period in (x) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by such Kodiak entity, or (y)
any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced against the Company, by a person other
than the Company.



     11. Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented,
except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement by each of the parties hereto.



- 24 -









 





     12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on
receipt, and will be mailed, delivered by hand or courier or sent by facsimile and confirmed or by
any other reasonable means of communication, including by electronic mail, to the relevant party at
its address specified in Exhibit D.



     13. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing expressed
or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person other than the
parties hereto and the affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons
referred to in Section 8 hereof and their successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives, any
right or obligation hereunder. None of the rights or obligations of the Company under this
Agreement may be assigned, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without Kodiak’s prior written
consent. The rights and obligations of the Holders under this Agreement may be assigned by the
Holders without the Company’s consent; provided that the assignee assumes the obligations of any
such Holders under this Agreement.



     14. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF
LAW (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).



     15. Submission to Jurisdiction. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY
HERETO OR WITH RESPECT TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN OR REMOVED TO THE
COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK (IN EACH CASE SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN).
BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY ACCEPTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS
PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS (AND COURTS OF
APPEALS THEREFROM) FOR LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.



     16. Counterparts and Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the
parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but
all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be
executed by any one or more of the parties hereto by facsimile.



     17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties to
this Agreement and supercedes all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements,
understandings and negotiations with respect to the subject matter hereof.
