THE LENDERS’ COMMITMENTS, BORROWING PROCEDURES,

SECURITY INTEREST AND LENDER NOTES


 


Section
2.1Lenders’ Commitments. (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement, the
Lenders shall make an Advance to the Borrower in the amount up to Seventy One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($71,250,000)
(the “First Initial Advance”) and a subsequent Advance in the amount of up to One Hundred One Million Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($101,050,000) (the “Second Initial Advance” and together with the First Initial Advance,
the “Initial Advance”), in each case, for the purposes set forth in Section 2.8(a); provided,
however that (i) subject to Section 2.1(d) of this Loan Agreement, the aggregate principal amount of all Advances
from time to time outstanding under this Loan Agreement (including any Protective Advances) shall not exceed the Borrowing Base
and (ii) no Lender shall be obligated to make any Advance to the Borrower to the extent that the aggregate outstanding amount
of such Advances made by such Lender hereunder exceeds such Lender’s Commitment as set forth in Schedule 2.1(a),
as the same is amended (or deemed amended) from time to time by Assignment and Assumption Agreements executed as provided in Section
13.4 of this Loan Agreement, nor shall any Lender be obligated to make any Advance required to be made by any other Lender.
On the Closing Date or a subsequent date agreed to by the Borrower and the Required Lenders, so long as the Borrower has requested
the same pursuant to a Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent as set forth below and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Loan Agreement, the Lenders shall make the First Initial Advance to the Borrower. After the Closing Date, so
long as the Borrower has requested the same pursuant to a Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent as set forth
below and subject to the conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement, the Lenders shall make the Second Initial Advance to the
Borrower.


 


(b)So
long as the Borrower has requested the same pursuant to a Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent as set forth
below, and subject to the conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement, the Lenders shall make Ongoing Maintenance Advances to
the Borrower; provided, however, that subject to Section 2.1(d) of this Loan Agreement, the aggregate principal
amount of all Advances outstanding under this Loan Agreement (including any Protective Advances) shall not exceed the Borrowing
Base.


 


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

Agreement 






    	 	Page 2 of 64	 



     


    

 


(d)Without
regard to the Borrowing Base and without any Borrowing Request, the Lenders shall be entitled to make Advances on behalf of the
Borrower as the Lenders determine in their sole and absolute discretion are necessary in order to make premium payments and to
pay other costs and expenses to ensure that one or more Pledged Policies selected by the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion,
other than Policies that are sold as contemplated by Section 2.7 of this Loan Agreement, remain in full force and effect,
as determined by the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion (such Advances, together with any Advances made from time to
time by the Lenders hereunder to pay any costs and expenses in defending the Collateral against any lawsuits or in any other proceedings
(including attorneys’ fees) and any Advances made from time to time by the Lenders hereunder after and during the continuance
of an Unmatured Event of Default or an Event of Default shall collectively be referred to herein as “Protective
Advances”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Protective Advance, such Protective
Advance may be made by the Lenders even if such Protective Advance, when taken together with the outstanding balance of all previous
Advances, would cause the aggregate outstanding balance of the Advances to exceed the Borrowing Base as of the date of such Protective
Advance. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is understood that with respect to the making of each
of the First Initial Advance and the Second Initial Advance, the aggregate principal amount of all Advances outstanding under
this Loan Agreement after the making of such Advance (including any Protective Advances) may exceed the Borrowing Base so long
as all other conditions precedent to the making of such Advance are satisfied.


 


Section
2.2Borrowing Procedures.


 


(a)The
Borrower shall request each of the First Initial Advance and the Second Initial Advance hereunder by giving notice to the Administrative
Agent of the proposed borrowing. Such notice (herein called a “Borrowing Request”) shall be in the form of
Exhibit A and with respect to the Borrowing Request related to the First Initial Advance, is permitted to have been prepared and
delivered by the Borrower up to five (5) Business Days before the date of execution of this Loan Agreement such that the related
Proposed First Initial Advance Notice and First Initial Advance Acceptance may be executed concurrently with this Loan Agreement.
The Borrowing Request for each of the First Initial Advance and the Second Initial Advance shall (i) specify the date and aggregate
amount of the proposed First Initial Advance or Second Initial Advance, as applicable, (ii) identify the Subject Policies proposed
to be pledged hereunder in connection with such Advance and confirm that the related Collateral Packages have been uploaded to
the FTP Site, (iii) contain a statement of the amount of payments anticipated to be made to the equity holders of the Borrower
with the proceeds of such Advance and the amount of such Advance that will be deposited into the Reserve Account and (iv) attach
a Borrowing Base Certificate, signed by an officer of the Borrower.


 


(b)The
Borrower may request an Ongoing Maintenance Advance hereunder by delivering a fully executed and completed Borrowing Request to
the Administrative Agent. Each Borrowing Request for a proposed Ongoing Maintenance Advance shall (i) specify the date and aggregate
amount of the proposed Ongoing Maintenance Advance and (ii) attach a Borrowing Base Certificate, signed by an officer of the Borrower.
The Borrowing Request for the initial Ongoing Maintenance Advance is permitted to have been prepared and delivered by the Borrower
up to five (5) Business Days before the date of execution of this Loan Agreement such that the related Subsequent Advance Acceptance
may be executed concurrently with this Loan Agreement.

(c)In
the event the Borrower desires an Additional Policy Advance, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such desire
in writing, which written notice shall identify the Additional Policies proposed to be pledged in connection with the making of
such Additional Policy Advance and be accompanied by full and complete Collateral Packages for such Additional Policies. The Borrower
shall not deliver any Borrowing Request with respect to an Additional Policy Advance unless and until (i) it has wired the related
Expense Deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account following confirmation of the amount thereof and (ii) it has received
written notice from the Administrative Agent confirming that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have completed their due
diligence with respect to the Additional Policies proposed to be pledged hereunder in connection with the making of such Additional
Policy Advance, and indicating which Additional Policies, if any, will be accepted as Collateral hereunder and the estimated amounts
that the Lenders will be willing to fund under this Loan Agreement with respect to such Additional Policies. After the Borrower’s
wiring of the related Expense Deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account and the Borrower’s receipt of such written
notice from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may request an Additional Policy Advance hereunder with respect to such Additional
Policies by delivering a fully executed and completed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent. Each Borrowing Request related
to a proposed Additional Policy Advance shall (i) specify the date and aggregate amount of the proposed Additional Policy Advance,
(ii) identify the Additional Policies proposed to be pledged hereunder in connection with such Additional Policy Advance and confirm
that the related Collateral Packages have been uploaded to the FTP Site, (iii) contain a statement of the amount of payments anticipated
to be made to the equity holders of the Borrower with the proceeds of such Additional Policy Advance and the amount of such Advance
that will be deposited into the Reserve Account and (iv) attach a Borrowing Base Certificate, signed by an officer of the Borrower.
The Lenders shall be under no obligation to make any Additional Policy Advance. The Lenders may make Additional Policy Advances
in their sole and absolute discretion and may require additional documentation (including opinions of counsel) and the satisfaction
of conditions, including the payment of additional fees, all as determined by the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion.


 


Section
2.3Funding. (a) No later than five (5) Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Borrowing
Request for the First Initial Advance, the Lenders shall, in their sole and absolute discretion and acting unanimously, determine
whether to approve the Subject Policies, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of (i) the determination of the
amount, if any, the Lenders will fund (a “Proposed First Initial Advance”, and such notice of the Proposed
First Initial Advance, a “Proposed First Initial Advance Notice”), (ii) the amount of the Closing Fee and (iii)
the amount of the payments to the equity holders of the Borrower that the Lenders have approved with respect to such Proposed
First Initial Advance; provided that such determination shall be in the Lenders’ sole and absolute discretion. If the Lenders
are willing to make such Proposed First Initial Advance and the Borrower determines to accept such Proposed First Initial Advance,
on or before the third (3rd) Business Day after the delivery of the Proposed First Initial Advance Notice by the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent that the Borrower accepts the Proposed First Initial Advance (a “First
Initial Advance Acceptance”); for avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower does not deliver a First Initial Advance Acceptance
by 5:00 pm, New York time on the third (3rd) Business Day following the delivery of the Proposed First Initial Advance Notice,
then the Borrower shall be deemed to have rejected such Proposed First Initial Advance. On the first (1st) Business Day following
the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the First Initial Advance Acceptance, and subject to the complete satisfaction of
the conditions precedent set forth in Article VII with respect to the First Initial Advance and the limitations set forth
in Section 2.1, the Lenders shall distribute funds in the amount set forth in the Proposed First Initial Advance Notice
in accordance with Schedule 2.8.

(b)No
later than five (5) Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Borrowing Request for the Second Initial
Advance, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the resulting Second Initial Advance to be funded by the Lenders
on the related Advance Date (such notice, the “Second Initial Advance Acceptance”) subject to the immediately
following sentence. Subject to the complete satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article VII with respect
to the Second Initial Advance and the limitations set forth in Section 2.1, the Lenders shall distribute funds in the amount
set forth in the Second Initial Advance Acceptance in accordance with Schedule 2.8. If the Second Initial Advance is not made
due to the failure to satisfy any of the conditions or limitations set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, then the Borrower
may submit a subsequent Borrowing Request in respect of the Second Initial Advance, which Borrowing Request shall be delivered
by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent no later than ten (10) Business Days after the Administrative Agent delivered the
Second Initial Advance Acceptance to the Borrower.


 


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


 


(d)No
later than five (5) Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Borrowing Request for an Additional
Policy Advance, the Lenders shall, in their sole and absolute discretion and acting unanimously, determine whether to approve
the Additional Policies, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the determination of the amount, if any, the
Lenders will fund (a “Proposed Additional Policy Advance”, and such notice of the Proposed Additional Policy
Advance, a “Proposed Additional Policy Advance Notice”); provided that such determination shall be in the Lenders’
sole and absolute discretion. If the Lenders are willing to make such Proposed Additional Policy Advance and the Borrower determines
to accept such Proposed Additional Policy Advance, on or before the third (3rd) Business Day after the delivery of the Proposed
Additional Policy Advance Notice by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent that the Borrower
accepts the Proposed Additional Policy Advance (an “Additional Policy Advance Acceptance”) which notice shall
specify the agreed Additional Policy Advance Amount; for avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower does not deliver an Additional Policy
Advance Acceptance by 5:00 pm, New York time on the third (3rd) Business Day following the delivery of the Proposed Additional
Policy Advance Notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have rejected such Proposed Additional Policy Advance. On the third
(3rd) Business Day following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Additional Policy Advance Acceptance, and subject
to the complete satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article VII with respect to such Additional Policy
Advance and the limitations set forth in Section 2.1, the Lenders shall distribute funds in the amount set forth in the
Proposed Additional Policy Advance Notice to the Payment Account to be disbursed by the Securities Intermediary in accordance
with the terms of the Account Control Agreement.

(e)The
Borrower shall not deliver more than one (1) Borrowing Request for an Ongoing Maintenance Advance in any calendar quarter and
shall not deliver more than two (2) Borrowing Requests for any type of Advance in any calendar quarter. In addition, the
Borrower shall not deliver any Borrowing Request if the Borrower has previously delivered a Borrowing Request to the Administrative
Agent in respect of an Additional Policy Advance and the Administrative Agent has not yet delivered the related Proposed Additional
Policy Advance Notice, the Borrower has not yet delivered the related Additional Policy Advance Acceptance, the Borrower has not
yet rejected the related Proposed Additional Policy Advance or the Borrower has delivered the related Additional Policy Advance
Acceptance and the related Subsequent Advance Date has not yet occurred, in each case, in accordance with Section 2.3(d).
The Borrower shall not deliver a Borrowing Request for an Ongoing Maintenance Advance or an Additional Policy Advance unless such
delivery is made on or after the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date and on or prior to the five (5) year anniversary
of the Closing Date.


 


Section
2.4Representation and Warranty. Each Borrowing Request pursuant to Section 2.2 and each acceptance of an Advance
by the Borrower shall automatically constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each
Lender that on the date such Borrowing Request is delivered to the Administrative Agent and on the related Advance Date (a) the
representations and warranties contained in Article VIII will be true and correct in all respects as of such Borrowing Request
date and as of such Advance Date as though made on such dates, except to the extent any such representation or warranty relates
to a specific date, in which case, such representation or warranty will be true and correct in all respects as of such date as
though made on such date, (b) all of the conditions precedent to the making of an Advance contained in Article VII have
been satisfied or will have been satisfied as of such Advance Date and (c) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or will result from the making of such Advance.

Section
2.5Lender Notes. With respect to each Lender, the Advances made by such Lender to the Borrower shall be evidenced by
a single promissory note executed by the Borrower (as the same may be amended, modified, extended or replaced from time to time,
a “Lender Note” and collectively, the “Lender Notes”) substantially in the form of Exhibit
B hereto, with appropriate insertions to reflect Advances (or portion thereof) actually funded by such Lender, the related
applicable interest rates thereof and related repayments and appropriate revisions to reflect assignments effected in accordance
with Section 13.4 of this Loan Agreement, payable to such Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, any Protective Advances made
by a Lender shall not be required to be evidenced in its Lender Note and the Administrative Agent’s records shall constitute
conclusive evidence that such Protective Advances have been made. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make
(or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to its Lender Note (or on any continuation of such grid) or at
such Lender’s option, in the records of such Lender, which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of,
the outstanding principal of, and the interest rates and Interest Periods applicable to the Advances made by such Lender and related
repayments and appropriate revisions to reflect assignments effected in accordance with Section 13.4 of this Loan Agreement.
Such notations and records (absent manifest error) shall be conclusive evidence of the subject matter thereof; provided, however,
that the failure to make any such notations or maintain any such records shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of
the Borrower. The Borrower hereby agrees to promptly execute and deliver a new Lender Note upon any assignment to a new Lender
effected in accordance with Section 13.4 of this Loan Agreement, and each Lender making an assignment of all or any portion
of its Lender Note will either (i) if such assignment is an assignment of its entire Lender Note, deliver its Lender Note to the
Borrower for termination and cancellation effective upon Borrower’s execution and delivery of such new Lender Note to the
assignee thereof or (ii) if such assignment is an assignment in part of such Lender Note, deliver its Lender Note to the Borrower
for termination and cancellation effective upon Borrower’s execution and delivery of a new Lender Note to the assignee thereof
and a new Lender Note to such Lender.


 


Section
2.6Security Interest.


 


(a)To
secure the timely repayment of the principal of, and interest on, the Advances, and all other Obligations of the Borrower to any
Secured Party, and the prompt performance when due of all covenants of the Borrower hereunder and under any other Transaction
Document, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, the Borrower hereby pledges
and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing, first priority security interest
in, and assignment of, all of the Borrower’s rights, titles and interests in, to and under all of the following, whether
now or hereafter owned, existing or arising: all assets of the Borrower, including but not limited to all right, title and interest
of the Borrower in the Pledged Policies and proceeds thereof; all accounts receivable, notes receivable, claims receivable and
related proceeds including but not limited to, cash, loans, securities, and accounts; contract rights; the contracts with and
the rights to and against the Securities Intermediary, in its capacity as owner of record of the Pledged Policies, and the Custodian;
the Collection Account, the Reserve Account, the Payment Account, the Policy Account and any other account of the Borrower (excluding
only the Borrower Account); reserve accounts; escrow agreements and related books and records; the rights under any purchase agreements
relating to such Policies; all data, documents and instruments contained in the Collateral Packages; and such other assets, tangible
or intangible, real or personal of the Borrower. All of the rights and assets described in the previous sentence are herein referred
to collectively as “Collateral”; provided, however, that this definition of “Collateral”
does not limit any other collateral that may be pledged to secure the Advances under any other Transaction Document.

Borrower shall file such financing statements, and execute and deliver such agreements, certificates and documents, and take such
other actions, as the Administrative Agent requests, in each case, in order to perfect, evidence or protect the security interest
granted pursuant to Section 2.6(a), including without limitation delivering a collateral assignment in respect of each
Pledged Policy subject to this Loan Agreement, naming the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, as the collateral assignee,
filed with, and acknowledged to have been filed by, the applicable Issuing Insurance Company; provided, that the foregoing collateral
assignment shall not apply to the portion of the face amount that is retained by a third party under any Retained Death Benefit
Policy. On or prior to each Advance Date, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered completed but unsigned Change Forms
for the Subject Policies to the Securities Intermediary. The Borrower shall cause the Securities Intermediary to execute all such
Change Forms in blank to be held by the Securities Intermediary. If an Issuing Insurance Company updates its Change Forms, at
the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered completed but unsigned updated Change
Forms for the related Pledged Policies within five (5) Business Days of such request. The Borrower shall cause the Securities
Intermediary to execute such Change Forms in blank to be held by the Securities Intermediary. The Borrower grants to the Administrative
Agent, as its irrevocable attorney-in-fact and otherwise, the right, in the Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion,
following the occurrence of an Event of Default, to complete or direct the Securities Intermediary to complete and send any and
all Change Forms previously delivered to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or otherwise obtained by the Administrative Agent,
to the applicable Issuing Insurance Companies. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the foregoing grant has been coupled with
an interest and is irrevocable. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file such financing statements and
other documentation as the Administrative Agent determines are necessary or advisable to perfect such security interest without
the signature of the Borrower, provided however, notwithstanding any other provision of any Transaction Document,
the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to file such financing statements, continuation statements or amendments
thereto. The Borrower hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as the Borrower’s irrevocable attorney-in-fact, with full
power and authority to take any other action to sign or endorse the Borrower’s name on any Collateral, and to enforce or
collect any of the Collateral, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. The Borrower hereby acknowledges
that the foregoing appointment of the Administrative Agent as the Borrower’s irrevocable attorney-in-fact has been coupled
with an interest and is irrevocable. The Borrower hereby ratifies and approves all acts of such attorney-in-fact, and agrees that
the Administrative Agent will not be liable for any act or omission with respect thereto, except to the extent that such act or
omission constitutes gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent.

(c)Upon
the receipt of the related Net Proceeds by the Lenders after the sale of a Pledged Policy pursuant to Section 2.7, the
security interest of the Administrative Agent in such Pledged Policy for the benefit of the Secured Parties shall be released.
Upon the indefeasible repayment in full of all of the Advances then outstanding and all other Obligations and termination of all
Commitments and this Loan Agreement, (i) the security interest of the Administrative Agent in the Collateral for the benefit of
the Secured Parties shall be released and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall file, promptly upon written request, such releases
or assignments, as applicable, and to take such other actions as the Borrower shall reasonably request in writing in order to
evidence any such release.


 


Section
2.7Sale of Collateral.


 


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


 


Notwithstanding
the immediately preceding paragraph, if the Collateral consists of one-hundred (100) or fewer Pledged Policies insuring the lives
of one-hundred (100) or fewer distinct Insureds, then, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, the Borrower
may sell one or more of the Pledged Policies to any Person, including, without limitation, an Affiliate of the Borrower, so long
as the Net Proceeds from any such sale are equal to or greater than the outstanding principal balance of all Advances plus accrued
but unpaid interest thereon, plus the Yield Maintenance Fee applicable thereto, plus all other Obligations owing by the Borrower,
and the Commitments and this Loan Agreement will be terminated after the application of such Net Proceeds. The Borrower shall
apply the Net Proceeds from any such sale in accordance with Section 4.1(b). The Borrower shall provide written notice of any
such sale to the Administrative Agent at least seven (7) Business Days prior to any such sale.

may distribute to its equity holders) in an amount not to exceed $84,800,000, (e) with respect to the Second Initial Advance,
to fund the Reserve Account, (f) with respect to the Second Initial Advance, to pay Ongoing Maintenance Costs and (g) to

Section
2.9Closing Fee. With respect to the First Initial Advance made hereunder, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent the Closing Fee. The Closing Fee shall be fully earned and due and payable on the initial Advance Date and may be paid from
the proceeds of the First Initial Advance. With respect to Additional Policy Advances, if any, the Borrower shall pay such fees
and at such times as the Lenders and the Borrower shall agree. In the event that the Borrower requests an Advance hereunder such
that after giving effect to such Advance, the principal amount of all Advances outstanding under this Loan Agreement would exceed
the Borrowing Base, which request may be granted or withheld in the Lenders' sole and absolute discretion, and such Advance is
made on the related Advance Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent a fee in an amount equal to the product of
(i) such excess and (ii) two percent (2.00%). Each such fee shall be fully earned and due and payable on the related Advance Date

Section
5.2Application of Available Amounts.


 


(a)If
no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting
jointly, and otherwise, the Administrative Agent acting alone, shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to distribute Collections
deposited in the Collection Account, and all other amounts deposited in the Collection Account, in accordance with this Section
5.2. On or prior to each Calculation Date, the Borrower shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to
the Administrative Agent a quarterly calculation report substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Calculation
Date Report”) with respect to the related Distribution Date, and the Borrower shall simultaneously deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Securities Intermediary the payment instructions necessary to make the payments indicated in such Calculation
Date Report (the “Payment Instructions”). In delivering the instructions required under Section 5.2(b)
and Section 5.2(c), the Administrative Agent shall have the right to rely absolutely upon the information in the Calculation
Date Reports, unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders provide alternative information to the Borrower by notice
in writing (such notice an “Alternative Information Notice”) not more than five (5) Business Days after receipt
of the related Calculation Date Report by the Administrative Agent, in which case, provided that the Borrower shall not have objected
to such Alternative Information Notice in writing within one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent
shall have the absolute right to act in accordance with such Alternative Information Notice. In the event that the Borrower shall
have objected to such Alternative Information Notice, then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith
to resolve such objection within five (5) days following the date on which the Borrower objects, the amount subject to such objection
shall be retained in the Collection Account during the pendency of such negotiations and the amount not subject to such objection
shall be distributed in accordance with Section 5.2(b) or Section 5.2(c), as applicable, and in accordance with
such Alternative Information Notice. The amount subject to such objection shall be distributed in accordance with Section 5.2(b)
or Section 5.2(c), as applicable, (i) if such objection is resolved, on the Business Day following the date on which
such objection is resolved, in which case such amounts shall be distributed in accordance with such resolution or (ii) if such
objection is not resolved, on the first Business Day following the day that is five (5) days following the date on which the Borrower
objects to such Alternative Information Notice, in which case such amounts shall be distributed in accordance with the relevant
Alternative Information Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower fails to deliver the related Calculation Date Report
or the related Payment Instructions on or prior to the related Calculation Date, then the Administrative Agent acting alone, based
on information in the Administrative Agent’s possession, shall be entitled to prepare such Calculation Date Report and Payment
Instructions and thereby instruct the Securities Intermediary to distribute Collections deposited in the Collection Account, and
all other amounts deposited in the Collection Account, to be distributed in accordance with this Section 5.2, and the Administrative
Agent shall have no liability whatsoever in respect of such instructions (the procedures set forth in this sentence if the Borrower
fails to deliver the related Calculation Date Report or the related Payment Instructions on or prior to the related Calculation
Date, the “Borrower Failure Procedures”).

the resolution of any objections of the Borrower in respect of such Alternative Information Notice, or if the Borrower has failed

Section

Change, in each case occurring after the date hereof:


 


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


 


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


 


(C)shall
change the amount of capital maintained or required or requested or directed to be maintained by any Affected Party; or


 


(D)shall
impose on any Affected Party any other condition affecting any Advance made or funded by any Affected Party;


 


and
the result of any of the foregoing is or would be to (i) increase the cost to or impose a cost on an Affected Party funding or
making or maintaining any Advance (including any commitment of such Affected Party with respect to any of the foregoing), (ii)
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Loan Agreement or the Lender Notes, or
(iii) in the good faith determination of such Affected Party, to reduce the rate of return on the capital of an Affected Party
as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which such Affected Party
could otherwise have achieved, and, in each case, unless any of the foregoing was imposed upon such Affected Party by a regulatory
authority, such Affected Party determines that any of the foregoing also has a similar effect on any other credit facilities or
other financing arrangements that are secured by life insurance policies (or interests therein) to which such Affected Party is
a party to as a lender, administrative agent or other similar capacity, then after demand by such Affected Party to the Borrower
(which demand shall be accompanied by a written statement setting forth the basis of such demand), the Borrower shall pay such
Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will (in the reasonable determination of such Affected Party) compensate such
Affected Party for such increased cost or such reduction. Such written statement (which shall include calculations in reasonable
detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the subject matter thereof.

Section
6.2Funding Losses. The Borrower hereby agrees that upon demand by any Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied
by a statement setting forth the basis for the calculations of the amount being claimed) the Borrower will indemnify such Affected
Party against any net loss or actual expense which such Affected Party actually sustains or incurs (including, without limitation,
any net loss or expense actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by
such Affected Party to fund or maintain any Advance made by any Lender to the Borrower), as reasonably determined by such Affected
Party, as a result of (a) any payment or prepayment (including any mandatory prepayment) of any Advance on a date other than a
Distribution Date, or (b) any failure of the Borrower to borrow any Advance on the date specified therefor in a First Initial
Advance Acceptance, a Second Initial Advance Acceptance, a Subsequent Advance Acceptance or an Additional Policy Advance Acceptance.
Such written statement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the subject matter thereof.


 


Section
6.3Withholding Taxes.


 


(a)All
payments made by the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction or withholding for or on account
of, any present or future Covered Taxes. If any Covered Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary
to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Taxes) all such amounts payable hereunder at the rates

the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the related Lender, as the case

documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for such Covered Taxes and any incremental
Taxes that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.


 


(b)At
least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which any payments, including discount or Fees, are payable hereunder
for the account of any Lender, if such Lender is not organized under the laws of the United States, such Lender agrees to deliver
to each of the Borrower, the Securities Intermediary and the Administrative Agent two (2) duly completed copies of (i) United
States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or successor applicable form) certifying that such Lender is entitled to
receive payments hereunder without deduction or withholding, or at a reduced rate of withholding, of any United States federal
income taxes, provided such Lender is legally able to provide such forms or (ii) United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9
or substitute W-9 (or successor applicable form) to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Lender

Section
7.4Conditions Precedent to each Additional Policy Advance. The making of each Additional Policy Advance is subject
to conditions precedent to be determined by the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion.


 


Section
7.5Lender Valuation.


 


(a)Lender
Valuation. With respect to each Distribution Date, the Administrative Agent shall, within three (3) Business Days prior to
the related Calculation Date, provide the Borrower with the Lender Valuation of the Pledged Policies (including the amount of
the Lender Valuation allocated to each individual Pledged Policy) as of such Calculation Date, along with the calculation of the
Borrowing Base. In addition, with respect to each calendar month in which a Distribution Date does not occur, the Administrative
Agent shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month, provide the Borrower
with the Lender Valuation of the Pledged Policies (including the amount of the Lender Valuation allocated to each individual Pledged
Policy) as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month. The Borrower and Required Lenders hereby acknowledge that
the methodology and metrics utilized by the Required Lenders in determining the Lender Valuation may be different than the methodology
and metrics utilized by the Borrower and its Affiliates in determining the value of the Pledged Policies in connection with preparing
the financial statements of the Borrower and its Affiliates.


 


(b)Lender
Valuation Dispute. Subject to the third to last sentence of this Section 7.5(b), if the Borrower disagrees with a Lender
Valuation relating to a determination of the LTV, it may dispute such Lender Valuation (a “Valuation Dispute”).
The Borrower shall obtain a valuation of the Collateral from a third-party acceptable to the Required Lenders in their commercially
reasonable judgment who is experienced in valuing Policies (a “Borrower Valuation”). In the event the Borrower
Valuation (A) is more than ten percent (10%) higher than the Lender Valuation of the Pledged Policies and (B) results in an LTV
of less than fifty percent (50%), then, at the Administrative Agent’s option, (i) on the first Distribution Date occurring
after the Borrower obtains such Borrower Valuation, such Borrower Valuation will be used for the determination of the LTV and
the Cash Sweep shall be based on such determination (and for each subsequent Distribution Date, the Lender Valuation, as determined
by the Administrative Agent from time to time, will be used for all subsequent determinations of the LTV, subject to the Borrower
initiating any future Valuation Disputes in accordance with the terms hereof) or (ii) the Administrative Agent may request in
writing that the Borrower repay all the Advances outstanding plus accrued interest and expenses in respect thereof (a “Payoff
Notice”). If the Borrower does not repay such amount in full within one hundred eighty (180) days of the Payoff Notice,
the Borrower will no longer have the right to initiate a Valuation Dispute and the Lender Valuation, as determined by the Administrative
Agent from time to time, will be used for all subsequent determinations of the LTV. During such one hundred eighty (180) day period,
the LTV and the related Lender Valuation shall equal the amounts as initially calculated by the Required Lenders and the Cash
Sweep shall be based on such initial calculation. No Yield Maintenance Fee shall be payable in connection with the repayment of
Advances by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 7.5(b).

order that:


 


(i)The
Borrower will be a limited liability company whose primary activities are restricted in the Borrower Organizational Documents
to acquiring and owning Pledged Policies and financing the acquisition thereof pursuant to this Loan Agreement;


 


(ii)At
least one director of the Borrower (the “Independent Director”) shall be an individual who (i) is not a present

stock of any Person or entity beneficially owning any outstanding shares of common stock or other equity interest of the Parent
or any Affiliate thereof and (ii) has at least three years of employment experience with one or more entities with a national
reputation and presence that provide, in the ordinary course of its business, advisory, management or placement services to issuers
of securitization or structured finance instruments, agreements or securities, and is currently employed by such an entity; provided,
however, that an individual shall not be deemed to be ineligible to be an Independent Director solely because such individual
serves or has served in the capacity of an “independent director” or similar capacity for special purpose entities
formed by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. The Borrower Organizational Documents shall provide that (i) the board of directors
or the equity owners of the Borrower shall not approve, or take any other action to cause the filing of, a voluntary bankruptcy
petition with respect to the Borrower unless the Independent Director shall approve the taking of such action in writing prior

reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered;

(xi)The
Borrower’s assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of any
other Person;


 


(xii)The
Borrower will strictly observe appropriate formalities in its dealings with all other Persons, and funds or other assets of the
Borrower will not be commingled with those of any other Person, other than temporary commingling in connection with servicing
the Pledged Policies to the extent explicitly permitted by the other Transaction Documents;


 


(xiii)The
Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, be named or enter into an agreement to be named, as a direct or contingent beneficiary

or the other Transaction Documents remain true and accurate at all times.


 


(g)Defense.
The Borrower shall, in consultation with the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s own expense, defend the Collateral

statements relating to the Collateral, and, where permitted by law, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to
file one or more financing statements covering all of the Collateral and other assets of the Borrower. The Borrower shall cause
its primary electronic books and records relating to the Collateral to be marked, with a legend stating that the Pledged Policies
and the other Collateral owned by the Borrower have been pledged to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

The Borrower shall, and shall cause the Servicer, the Custodian and the Parent to, permit each Lender, the Administrative Agent

records and computer systems, software and programs used or maintained by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Parent or the Custodian,

selected by such Lender or the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion (a “Collateral Audit”)
and the Borrower shall enable the Insurance Consultant to seek and receive from the related Issuing Insurance Companies any verifications
of coverage related to the Pledged Policies as often as the Administrative Agent may request the Insurance Consultant to do so
(though not more frequently than once per month unless an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing).
Unless an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a Collateral Audit under this Section
9.1(i) may be conducted not more frequently than once per month. The Borrower shall promptly on demand reimburse the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders for all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection
with any Collateral Audit and their ongoing review and Insurance Consultant’s ongoing review of the documents related to
the Pledged Policies, including without limitation the documents on the FTP Site; provided, however, if no Event of Default or
Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no more than one Collateral Audit per year shall be at the expense
of the Borrower (all other Collateral Audits in a year being at the expense of the Lenders) and the total expenses incurred by
or on behalf of the Borrower related to a Collateral Audit (including any reimbursements actually made by the Borrower to the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent in connection with such Collateral Audit), a Servicer Collateral Audit, enabling the Insurance
Consultant to receive any verifications of coverage, information requests described in Section 9.1(cc) and audits conducted
pursuant to Section 13.8(a)(iv), in each case, excluding any internal and third-party costs and expenses incurred in the
ordinary course by or on behalf of the Borrower, shall be limited to no more than $2,200 for each Pledged Policy (or if such Pledged
Policy is a Small Face Policy and payment of Premiums in respect of such Pledged Policy are made on an annual basis, $1,400 for
each such Pledged Policy) (as adjusted annually for inflation or such higher amount if such higher amount is the Insurance Consultant’s
reasonably determined prevailing market cost in the industry for such Collateral Audits or ongoing reviews of the type in question
as adjusted for changes in audit standards) during the shorter of (i) the prior twelve (12) month period and (ii) the period of
time commencing on the most recent Advance Date and ending on the date of such Collateral Audit, verification of coverage, information
request or audit, as applicable. Upon instructions from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall, and shall cause the Servicer
(and the Administrative Agent may cause the Custodian) to release any document related to any Collateral to the Administrative
Agent. If an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent, at the Borrower’s
expense, shall have the right to conduct a Collateral Audit at any time and as often the Administrative Agent determines is necessary
or desirable. For the avoidance of doubt, any review and evaluation of Additional Policies conducted by the Administrative Agent
or the Lenders in connection with a Borrowing Request shall not constitute a Collateral Audit.

Section

(c)[Reserved.]


 


(d)Additional
Rights and Remedies. In addition to all rights and remedies under this Loan Agreement or otherwise, the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent shall have all other rights and remedies provided under the relevant UCC and under other Applicable Laws, which rights shall
be cumulative. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, on and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties and at the direction of the Required Lenders) may without being required to give any notice
(except as herein provided or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law), sell the Collateral or any part thereof in any
commercially reasonable manner at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, as directed by the Required
Lenders, and at such price or prices as the Required Lenders, may deem satisfactory. Any Lender or the Administrative Agent may
participate as a bidder in any such sale and the Administrative Agent may credit bid in such sale. The Borrower will execute and
deliver such documents and take such other action as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary or advisable in order
that any such sale may be made in compliance with Applicable Law. Upon any such sale, the Administrative Agent shall have the
right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold
the Collateral so sold to it absolutely and free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of
redemption of the Borrower which may be waived, and the Borrower, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby specifically
waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter adopted. The
Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it,
may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the security interests in the Collateral and sell the Collateral,
or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction.


 


(e)Power
of Attorney. In furtherance of the rights, powers and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on and after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent, its true and lawful attorney,
which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable, with full power of substitution, in the name of the Borrower,
or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of the Administrative Agent (for the further benefit of the Secured Parties), but at
the Borrower’s expense, to the extent permitted by law and subject to the last sentence of the immediately preceding subsection,
to exercise, at any time and from time to time during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any of the following powers
with respect to all or any of the Collateral:


 


(i)to
demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due thereon or by virtue thereof,


 


GWG DLP Funding IV,
LLC Loan and Security Agreement






    	 	Page 53 of 64	 



     


    

 


(ii)to
settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto,


 


(iii)to
sell, transfer, assign, seize or otherwise deal in or with the Collateral or the proceeds or avails thereof, as fully and effectually
as if the Administrative Agent was the absolute owner thereof, and


 


(iv)to
extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any allowance and other adjustments with reference thereto;


 


provided
that the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the time and place
of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of any of the Collateral is to be made.
The Borrower agrees that such notice constitutes “reasonable notification” within the meaning of Section 9-611 (or
other section of similar content) of the relevant UCC.


 


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


 


(g)Contract
to Extend Financial Accommodations. The parties hereto acknowledge that this Loan Agreement is, and is intended to be, a contract
to extend financial accommodations to the Borrower within the meaning of Section 365(e)(2)(B) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code (11
U.S.C. § 365(e)(2)(B)) (or any amended or successor provision thereof or any amended or successor code).


 


(h)Cumulative
Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights and remedies granted to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under this
Loan Agreement, any other Transaction Document, the relevant UCC or any other Applicable Law are cumulative and not exclusive,
and the exercise of any such rights and remedies will not be waived or deemed waived by any such Person merely by the receipt
of or acceptance by such Person of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that are distributed pursuant to Section 5.2(c)
of this Loan Agreement.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT


 


Section
12.1Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such
Lender under this Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative
Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms
of this Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Loan Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties
or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Loan Agreement or any other Transaction
Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.


 


Section
12.2Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Loan Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents
or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.


 


Section
12.3Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person
under or in connection with this Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross
negligence, fraud or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties made by the Borrower, the Parent, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary or the Servicer or
any officer thereof contained in this Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document or in any certificate, report, statement
or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Loan
Agreement or any other Transaction Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency
of this Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document or for any failure of the Borrower, the Parent, the Custodian, the Securities
Intermediary or the Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any
obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in,
or conditions of, this Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the
Borrower, the Parent, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary or the Servicer. The Administrative Agent shall not be required
to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that
is contrary to this Loan Agreement, any other Transaction Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any
action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification
or termination of property of any Lender.

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


 


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

Section
12.6Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations
or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the
Borrower or the Servicer, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender.
Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent
or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and
investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and
the Servicer and made its own decision to make its Advances hereunder and enter into this Loan Agreement. Each Lender also represents
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it
deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness
of the Borrower and the Servicer. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders
by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender
with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects
or creditworthiness of the Borrower or the Servicer which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.


 


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


 


Section
12.8The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans
to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or the Servicer or any of their Affiliates
as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. With
respect to Advances made or renewed by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Loan Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and
the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

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