Agreement.

          Subject to the adjustments provided by Section 2.4, the number (the “Applicable Number”) of

- 7 -

hereof as one (1), notwithstanding that a Third Party TEC Common Shareholder or Optionholder
becomes party hereto after the date hereof.

	 	(a)	 	If there is a change in the number of TEC Common Shares or the number of shares
of TRC Common Stock outstanding from time to time as a result of a stock split, reverse
split, stock dividend, subdivision, consolidation or similar change in the TEC Common
Shares or shares of TRC Common Stock or if there is a reclassification, reorganization,
merger or amalgamation or similar change in the capital of TRC (collectively, an
“Event”), the Applicable Number shall be adjusted to be a number of shares of TRC
Common Stock that would be received in respect of one TEC Common Share or Vested
Option, as applicable, immediately following the Event if the Rights have been
exercised in respect of one TEC Common Share or Vested Option, as applicable,
immediately before the Event.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If TRC makes a distribution in respect of the shares of TRC Common Stock
(whether by a dividend or otherwise) and the distribution (i) is funded by a
disposition by TRC or any of its Subsidiaries of TEC Common Shares, (ii) is a dividend
in kind of TEC Common Shares; (iii) is the proceeds of an advance of debt to TRC; or

following being equal:

	 	(i)	 	the value of the shares of TRC Common Stock that would be
received for each TEC Common Share or Vested Option, as applicable, if the
Rights were exercised immediately after such record date, calculated using the

	 	(ii)	 	the value that the shares of TRC Common Stock that would have
been issued if the Rights were exercised immediately before such record date,
calculated using the unadjusted Applicable Number and without taking into
account the dividend or other distribution;

	 	 	provided that if such Parties have not agreed on the adjustment, any of them may refer the
determination to binding arbitration in accordance with Article 11 of the Stockholder
Agreement.

          Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, a Third Party TEC Common Shareholder or
Optionholder shall be entitled to exercise the Rights with respect to all or any part of the Third

- 8 -

of such Third Party TEC Common Shareholder or Optionholder. To exercise the Rights, the Third
Party TEC Common Shareholder or Optionholder shall deliver to TRC, by personal delivery or express
courier, at its principal office in Calgary, Alberta or at such other places in Canada or the
United States that TRC may from time to time designate by written notice to the Third Party TEC
Common Shareholder or Optionholder (a) the certificates representing the Third Party TEC Common
Shares or the agreement representing the Vested Options, as applicable, which such Third Party TEC
Common Shareholder or Optionholder, desires TRC to exchange, duly endorsed in blank for transfer or
accompanied by a duly executed stock power with respect to the Third Party TEC Common Shares, and
an assignment and cancellation agreement in form and substance satisfactory to TRC, with respect to
the Vested Options, and such additional documents and instruments as TRC may reasonably require,
(b) with respect to the Vested Options, the exercise price with respect to each such Vested Option,
in a form of payment acceptable to TRC, and (c) a duly completed notice of exercise of the Rights
stating (i) that the Third Party TEC Common Shareholder or Optionholder thereby exercises the
Rights so as to require TRC to exchange the number of Third Party TEC Common Shares or Vested
Options, as applicable, specified therein, (ii) that such Third Party TEC Common Shareholder or
Optionholder has good title to and owns all such Third Party TEC Common Shares or Vested Options,
as applicable, to be acquired by TRC free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances (other
than with respect to the Vested Options, any lien, claim or encumbrance relating to the Stock Award
Loan Program) and that such Third Party TEC Shareholder or Optionholder is or is not (as
applicable) a non-resident of Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act, (iii) the names in which the
certificates representing the shares of TRC Common Stock issuable in connection with the exercise
of the Rights are to be issued, and (iv) the names and addresses of the person to whom such new
certificates should be delivered, and (d) payment (or evidence satisfactory to TRC of payment) of
the taxes (if any) payable as contemplated by Section 2.7 of this Agreement. If only a part of the
Third Party TEC Common Shares or Vested Options represented by any certificate or certificates, or
agreement or agreements, delivered to TRC are to be exchanged by TRC under the Rights, a new
certificate or agreement for the balance of such Third Party TEC Common Shares or Vested Options
shall be issued to the holder at the expense of TEC.

          If such Third Party TEC Common Shareholder or Optionholder is a non-resident of Canada for the
purposes of the Tax Act, then to exercise the Rights, the Third Party TEC Common Shareholder or
Optionholder must deliver, together with the certificates and the notice to exercise, cash in an
amount equal to 25% of the fair market value of the shares of TRC Common Stock issuable in
connection with the exercise of such Rights, or a certificate issued to the non-resident under
subsection 116(2) of the Tax Act in respect of the exercise of such Rights (a “Clearance
Certificate”) and cash in an amount equal to 25% of the amount, if any, by which the fair market
value of the shares of TRC Common Stock issuable in connection with the exercise of such Rights
exceeds the “certificate limit”, as defined in subsection 116(2) of the Tax Act, fixed in such
Clearance Certificate.

          If the Exchange Right, is being exercised in relation to a Third Party Offer, the exercise
notice shall specify the particulars of such offer including the closing date of same and whether
the offer is a Tag Along Offer, Control Tag Along Offer or is related to a Drag Along Notice.

 

- 9 -

The notice may require that such exchange not be completed except concurrently with the
completion of the purchase and sale contemplated by such offer, provided that if such purchase and
sale is not completed, the notice to exercise shall be deemed to be revoked and any shares of TRC
Common Stock issued shall be cancelled and returned to treasury.

	2.6	 	Delivery of Exchange Consideration; Effect of Exercise

          As soon as practicable, and in any event no later than the completion of the purchase and sale
contemplated by a Third Party Offer or the registration of registrable securities pursuant to any
registration right granted to a Third Party TEC Shareholder with respect to the Exchange Right,
after receipt by TRC of the certificate representing the Third Party TEC Common Shares duly
endorsed for transfer to TRC, or the assignment and cancellation agreement with respect to the
Vested Options which the Third Party TEC Common Shareholder or Optionholder, as applicable, desires
TRC to exchange under the Rights (together with such documents and instruments of transfer and a
duly completed form of notice of exercise of the Rights (and payment of taxes, if any, or evidence
thereof)), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Third Party TEC Common Shareholder or
Optionholder with respect to such Third Party TEC Common Shares or Vested Options, as applicable,
(or to such other persons, if any, properly designated by the Third Party TEC Common Shareholder or
Optionholder), the certificates for the number of shares of TRC Common Stock issuable in connection
with the exercise of the Rights, which shares shall be duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable,
less any tax required to be deducted or withheld by TRC, provided, however, that no such delivery
shall be made unless and until the Third Party TEC Shareholder or Optionholder requesting the same
shall have paid (or provided evidence satisfactory to TRC of the payment of) the taxes (if any)
payable as contemplated by Section 2.7 of this Agreement. Immediately upon issuance of the shares
of TRC Common Stock by TRC, as provided in Section 2.6, the exchange shall be deemed to have
occurred, and the Third Party TEC Common Shareholder or Optionholder of such Third Party TEC Common
Shares or Vested Options, as applicable, shall be deemed to have transferred to TRC all of its
right, title and interest in and to such Third Party TEC Common Shares or Vested Options, as
applicable, and shall cease to be a holder of such Third Party TEC Common Shares or Vested Options,
as applicable, and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect
thereof. Concurrently with such Third Party TEC Common Shareholder or Optionholder ceasing to be a
holder of Third Party TEC Common Shares or Vested Options, as applicable, the Third Party TEC
Common Shareholder or Optionholder shall be considered and deemed for all purposes to be the holder
of the shares of TRC Common Stock delivered to it pursuant to the Rights.

	2.7	 	Stamp or Other Transfer Taxes

          TRC has no obligation to pay any documentary, stamp, transfer or other similar taxes that may
be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any shares of TRC
Common Stock pursuant to the Rights. TRC may condition the issuance of shares of TRC Common Stock
pursuant to an exercise of the Rights upon the provision by the holder of the Third Party TEC
Common Shares or Vested Options so exchanged of evidence satisfactory to TRC that any such tax has
been or will be paid in full.

 

- 10 -

	2.8	 	Reservation of TRC Common Stock

          TRC hereby represents, warrants and covenants that it has reserved for issuance and will at
all times keep available, free from pre-emptive and other rights, out of its authorized and
unissued capital stock such number of shares of TRC Common Stock as are now and may hereafter be
required to enable and permit TRC to meet its obligations hereunder.

      LOANS

     

    
      	SECTION
              2.1.     	
              Commitments.

            

    

     

    (a)  Subject
      to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and
      warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly,
      to
      make Loans to the Borrower in Dollars, at any time and from time to time during
      the Commitment Period, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such
      Lender’s Commitment. Each Lender’s Commitment shall be permanently reduced in an
      amount equal to each Loan made by it under this Agreement. Amounts repaid in
      respect of Loans may not be reborrowed.

     

    (b)  In
      addition to the Commitment reductions described in Section 2.1(a), the
      Commitments of the Lenders may be terminated or reduced from time to time
      pursuant to Section 2.13 or Article 7.

     

    
      	SECTION
              2.2.     	
              Loans.

            

    

     

    (a)  Each
      Loan
      shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders
      ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments in accordance with
      the
      procedures set forth in Section 2.5. The failure of any Lender to make any
      Loan
      required to be made by it shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its
      obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender
      shall
      be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required
      to
      be made by such other Lender). The Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be
      (i)
      in the case of LIBOR Loans, in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral
      multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 and (ii) in the case of
      ABR
      Loans or FFR Loans, in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral
      multiple of $500,000 and not less than $5,000,000 (or if less, an aggregate
      principal amount equal to the remaining balance of the available Total
      Commitment).

     

    (b)  Each
      Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of LIBOR Loans, ABR Loans or FFR Loans,
      as
      the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.5. Each Lender may at its option
      make any LIBOR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate
      of
      such Lender to make such Loan, provided
      that any
      exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to
      repay
      such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more
      than one Interest Rate Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided
      that the
      Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would
      result in an aggregate of more than 10 separate Loans of any Lender being
      outstanding hereunder at any one time. For purposes of the calculation required
      by the immediately preceding sentence, LIBOR Loans having different Interest
      Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be
      considered separate Loans and all Loans of a single Interest Rate Type made
      on a
      single date shall be considered a single Loan if such Loans have a common
      Interest Period.

    (c)  Subject
      to Section 2.7, each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder
      on
      the proposed date thereof by making funds available at the Funding Office no
      later than 1:00 P.M. New York City time in the case of Loans other than ABR
      Loans or FFR Loans and 4:00 P.M. New York City time in the case of ABR Loans
      and
      FFR Loans, in each case, in immediately available funds. Upon receipt of the
      funds to be made available by the Lenders to fund any Borrowing hereunder,
      the
      Administrative Agent shall disburse such funds by depositing them into an
      account of the Borrower maintained with
      the
      Administrative Agent. 

     

    (d)  Notwithstanding
      any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to
      request any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto
      would end after the Termination Date.

              Borrowing
                Procedure.

            

    

     

    In
      order
      to effect a Borrowing, the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the
      Administrative Agent a Borrowing Request substantially in the form of Exhibit
      D
      (a) in the case of a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, not later than 2:00 p.m., New
      York City time, three Working Days before a proposed Borrowing, and (b) in
      the
      case of an ABR Borrowing or an FFR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New
      York
      City time, on the day of a proposed Borrowing. Such notice shall be irrevocable
      and shall in each case specify (A) whether the Borrowing then being requested
      is
      to be a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, an ABR Borrowing or an FFR Borrowing, (B)
      the
      date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Working Day) and the amount thereof
      and
      (C) if such Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period
      with respect thereto. If no election as to the Interest Rate Type of a Borrowing
      is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR
      Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans
      is
      specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected
      an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If the Borrower shall not have given
      notice in accordance with this Section 2.5 of its election to refinance a
      Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing,
      then the Borrower shall (unless such Borrowing is repaid at the end of such
      Interest Period) be deemed to have given notice of an election to refinance
      such
      Borrowing with an ABR Borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise
      the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.5 and of each such
      Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

              Refinancings.

            

    

     

    The
      Borrower may refinance all or any part of any Borrowing made by it with a
      Borrowing of the same or a different Interest Rate Type made pursuant to a
      notice under Section 2.5, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth
      herein and elsewhere in this Agreement; provided
      that at
      any time after the occurrence, and during the continuation, of a Default or
      an
      Event of Default, a Borrowing or portion thereof may only be refinanced with

      hereunder and the proceeds of the new Borrowing to the extent they do not exceed
      the principal amount of the Borrowing or Loan being refinanced, shall not be

    (a)  The
      Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on
      each
      March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, and on the date on which the
      Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a commitment
      fee (a “Commitment
      Fee”)
      at the
      rate per annum from time to time in effect in accordance with Section 2.23,
      on
      the amount of the Commitment of such Lender then in effect during the preceding
      quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date, or ending with
      the
      Termination Date or any date on which the Commitment of such Lender shall be
      terminated). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual
      number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fee due to each
      Lender shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date, shall be payable in arrears
      and shall cease to accrue on the earlier of the Termination Date and the
      termination of the Commitment of such Lender as provided herein.

     

    (b)  The
      Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts
      and
      on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements with the Administrative Agent
      and to perform any other obligations contained therein.

     

    (c)  All
      fees
      shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the
      Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders.
      Once paid, none of the fees shall be refundable under any
      circumstances.

    (a)  The
      Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent,
      for
      the account of each Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan made
      to it on the Termination Date. The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay to
      the
      Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, interest on the unpaid
      principal amount of the Loans made to it from time to time outstanding from
      the
      date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the
      dates, set forth in Section 2.10.

     

    (b)  Each
      Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or
      accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from
      each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal
      and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this
      Agreement.

     

    (c)  The
      Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.3(e),
      and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the
      amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Interest Rate Type thereof and each
      Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal
      or
      interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to
      each
      Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the
      Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share
      thereof.

      to Section 2.9(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
prima facie
      evidence
      of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein
      recorded; provided
      that the
      failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register
      or
      any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the
      obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made
      to
      the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this

    (a)  Subject
      to the provisions of Section 2.11, the Loans comprising each LIBOR Borrowing
      shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR for the Interest Period
      in effect for such Borrowing plus the applicable LIBOR Spread from time to
      time
      in effect. 

     

    (b)  Subject
      to the provisions of Section 2.11, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing
      shall
      bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over
      a
      year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be when determined by reference to
      the
      Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) at a rate per annum
      equal to the Alternate Base Rate.

      effect.

     

    (d)  Interest
      on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
      applicable to such Loan. The LIBOR, Federal Funds Rate or Alternate Base Rate
      for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period shall be determined
      by
      the Administrative Agent and such determination shall be conclusive absent

      Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, the Borrower shall on demand

      (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum computed on the basis

      the
      event the Administrative Agent shall have determined that deposits in Dollars
      in
      the amount of the requested principal amount of any LIBOR Loan are not generally
      available in the London Interbank Market (or such other interbank eurocurrency
      market where the foreign currency and exchange operations in respect of Dollars
      are then being conducted for delivery on the first day of such Interest Period),
      or, in the case of LIBOR Loans, that the rate at which such deposits are being
      offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making
      or maintaining its portion of such LIBOR Loans during such Interest Period,
      or
      that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, the Administrative
      Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telecopier
      notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event
      of
      any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have determined
      that circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request
      by
      the Borrower for a LIBOR Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 shall be deemed
      to be
      a request for an ABR Loan. Each determination by the Administrative Agent
      hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

      terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Total

      amount of the Loans.

      aggregate amount thereof.

     

    (d)  Each
      reduction in the Total Commitment hereunder shall be made ratably among the
      Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. The Borrower shall

      termination or reduction in the Total Commitment, the Commitment Fees on the
      amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to the date of such

      time to time, to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, subject to the
      requirements of Section 2.18 but otherwise without premium or penalty, upon
      prior written or telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall
      promptly notify each Lender) before 2:00 p.m. New York City time of at least
      one
      Business Day in the case of an ABR Loan or FFR Loan, and of at least three
      Working Days in the case of a LIBOR Loan; provided
      that
      each such partial prepayment shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount
      of
      $1,000,000 or a whole multiple in excess thereof.

      any
      Indebtedness shall be incurred under any New Senior Notes, the aggregate amount
      thereof (subject to Section 2.14(d)) shall be applied on the date of such
      incurrence toward the prepayment of the Loans and the reduction of the Total
      Commitment. Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments and Total
      Commitment reductions made pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) shall be applied,
      first,
      to the
      prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.19 and, second,
      to
      reduce permanently the Total Commitment in accordance with Section 2.13. Any
      prepayments required by this paragraph shall be applied first
      to
      outstanding ABR Loans and second
      to FFR
      Loans, in each case, up to the full amount thereof before they are applied
      to
      outstanding LIBOR Loans.

      Borrowing to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower
      to
      prepay such Borrowing(s) by the amount stated therein. All prepayments under
      this Section 2.14 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal
      amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment and any amounts due pursuant
      to
      Section 2.18.

        “Total Commitment” in effect under the 364-Day Agreement (or, if the
“Commitments” under the 364-Day Agreement have been terminated, the aggregate
        amount of “Loans” outstanding thereunder) and the (ii) Total Commitment
plus
        the
        aggregate amount of Loans outstanding and the amounts required to be applied
        to
        prepay Loans and reduce the Total Commitment shall be reduced

      interest shall be determined by such Lender and notified to the Borrower (with
      a
      copy to the Administrative Agent) not later than five Business Days before
      the
      next Interest Payment Date for such Loan, and such additional interest so

      in
      Applicable Law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof
      by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration

      applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets
      of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender,
      or
      (iii) shall impose on any Lender or eurocurrency market any other condition
      affecting this Agreement or any Loan made by such Lender, and the result of
      any
      of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or

      by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in
      respect thereof by an amount deemed in good faith by such Lender to be material,

      such Lender for such increase or reduction to such Lender upon demand by such
      Lender.

      that
      the adoption after the date hereof of or any change after the date hereof in
      any
      applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or

      change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental
      Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation
      or
      administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any Lending Office
      of
      such Lender) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether
      or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central
      bank
      or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
      return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding
      company, if any, as a consequence of its Obligations hereunder to a level below
      that which such Lender (or its holding company) could have achieved but for
      such
      applicability, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such
      Lender’s policies or the policies of its holding company, as the case may be,
      with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be
      material, then, from time to time, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
      Agent for the account of such Lender (or its holding company) such additional
      amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction upon demand
      by such Lender.

      certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail (i) such amount
      or

      such
      amount or amounts referred to in the preceding clause (i), shall be delivered
      to
      the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall
      pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender the amount shown
      as
      due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after its receipt of the
      same.

     

    (d)  Failure
      on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or
      reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital
      with respect to any Interest Period shall not constitute a waiver of such
      Lender’s rights to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in
      amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect
      to
      such Interest Period or any other Interest Period. The protection of this
      Section 2.16 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible
      contention of invalidity or inapplicability of the law, regulation or condition
      which shall have been imposed.

     

    (e)  Each
      Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of the
      occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that (i) would cause
      it
      to incur any increased cost under this Section 2.16, Section 2.17 or Section
      2.22 or (ii) would require the Borrower to pay an increased amount under this
      Section 2.16, Section 2.17 or Section 2.22, it will use reasonable efforts
      to
      notify the Borrower of such event or condition and, to the extent not
      inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies, will use its reasonable
      efforts to make, fund or maintain the affected Loans of such Lender through
      another Lending Office of such Lender if as a result thereof the additional
      monies which would otherwise be required to be paid or the reduction of amounts
      receivable by such Lender thereunder in respect of such Loans would be
      materially reduced, or any inability to perform would cease to exist, or the
      increased costs which would otherwise be required to be paid in respect of
      such
      Loans pursuant to this Section 2.16, Section 2.17 or Section 2.22 would be
      materially reduced or the taxes or other amounts otherwise payable under this
      Section 2.16, Section 2.17 or Section 2.22 would be materially reduced, and
      if,
      as determined by such Lender, in its sole reasonable discretion, the making,
      funding or maintaining of such Loans through such other Lending Office would
      not
      otherwise materially adversely affect such Loans.

      are due to such Lender pursuant to paragraph (c) above, that any of the events
      designated in paragraph (e) above have occurred or that such Lender shall not
      be
      rated at least BBB by S&P and Baa2 by Moody’s, the Borrower may (but subject
      in any such case to the payments required by Section 2.18), provided
      that
      there shall exist no Default or Event of Default, upon at least five Business
      Days’ prior written or telecopier notice to such Lender and the Administrative
      Agent, but not more than 30 days after receipt of notice from such Lender,
      identify to the Administrative Agent a lending institution reasonably acceptable
      to the Administrative Agent which will purchase the Commitment, the amount
      of
      outstanding Loans from the Lender providing such notice and such Lender shall
      thereupon assign its Commitment, any Loans owing to such Lender to such
      replacement lending institution pursuant to Section 10.3. Such notice shall
      specify an effective date for such assignment and at the time thereof, the
      Borrower shall pay all accrued interest, Commitment Fees and all other amounts
      (including without limitation all amounts payable under this Section and
      Sections 2.22, 10.4 and 10.5) owing hereunder to such Lender as at such
      effective date for such assignment.

      for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its
      obligations as contemplated hereby, then, by written notice to the Borrower
      and
      to the Administrative Agent, such Lender may:

     

    (i)  declare
      that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon
      the Borrower shall be prohibited from requesting LIBOR Loans from such Lender
      hereunder unless such declaration is subsequently withdrawn; and

     

    (ii)  require
      that all outstanding LIBOR Loans (in Dollars) made by it be converted to ABR
      Loans in which event (A) all such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted
      to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in Section
      2.17(b) and (B) all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise
      have been applied to repay the converted LIBOR Loans shall instead be applied
      to
      repay the ABR Loan resulting from the conversion of such LIBOR
      Loans.

     

    (b)  For
      purposes of this Section 2.17, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender pursuant
      to Section 2.17(a) shall be effective on the date of receipt thereof by the
      Borrower.

              Reimbursement
                of Lenders.

            

    

     

    (a)  The
      Borrower shall reimburse each Lender on demand for any loss incurred or to
      be
      incurred by it in the reemployment of the funds released (i) by any prepayment
      (for any reason, including any refinancing) of any LIBOR if such Loan is repaid
      other than on the last day of the applicable Interest Period for such Loan
      or
      (ii) in the event that after the Borrower delivers a notice of borrowing under
      Section 2.5 in respect of LIBOR Loans, the applicable Loan is not made on the
      first day of the Interest Period specified by the Borrower for any reason other
      than (I) a suspension or limitation under Section 2.17 of the right of the
      Borrower to select a LIBOR Loan or (II) a breach by such Lender of its
      obligations hereunder. In the case of such failure to borrow, such loss shall
      be
      the amount as reasonably determined by such Lender as the excess, if any, of
      (A)
      the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on the amount
      not
      borrowed, at a rate of interest equal to the interest rate applicable to such
      Loan pursuant to Section 2.10, for the period from the date of such failure
      to
      borrow to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan which would have
      commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, over (B) the amount realized
      by
      such Lender in reemploying the funds not advanced during the period referred
      to
      above. In the case of a payment other than on the last day of the Interest
      Period for a Loan, such loss shall be the amount of the excess, if any, of
      (A)
      the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so paid at a
      rate
      of interest equal to the interest rate applicable to such Loan pursuant to
      Section 2.10, for the period from the date of such payment to the last day
      of
      the then current Interest Period for such Loan, over (B) an amount equal to
      the
      product of (x) the amount of the Loan so paid times
      (y) the
      current daily yield on U.S. Treasury Securities (at such date of determination)
      with maturities approximately equal to the remaining Interest Period for such
      Loan times
      (z) the
      number of days remaining in the Interest Period for such Loan. Each Lender
      shall
      deliver to the Borrower from time to time one or more certificates setting
      forth
      the amount of such loss (and in reasonable detail the manner of computation
      thereof) as determined by such Lender, which certificates shall be conclusive
      absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
      the account of each Lender the amount shown as due on any certificate within
      thirty (30) days after its receipt of the same.

    (b)  In
      the
      event the Borrower fails to prepay any Loan on the date specified in any
      prepayment notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.14(a), the Borrower on demand
      by any Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such
      Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any loss incurred
      by
      such Lender as a result of such failure to prepay, including, without
      limitation, any loss, cost or expenses incurred by reason of the acquisition
      of
      deposits or other funds by such Lender to fulfill deposit obligations incurred
      in anticipation of such prepayment. Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower
      and the Administrative Agent from time to time one or more certificates setting
      forth the amount of such loss (and in reasonable detail the manner of
      computation thereof) as determined by such Lender, which certificates shall
      be
      conclusive absent manifest error.

    Except
      as
      permitted under Sections 2.15, 2.16(c), 2.16(f), 2.17, 2.18 and 4.1(e), each
      Borrowing under the Commitments and each reduction of the Total Commitment
      shall
      be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective
      Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated,
      in
      accordance with the respective principal amount of their Loans) and each payment
      or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing and each payment of interest on
      the
      Loans shall be allocated pro rata in accordance with the respective principal
      amount of the Loans then held by the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that in
      computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing under the Commitments to be
      made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each
      Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing computed in accordance with Section 2.1,
      to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount.

    If
      any
      Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and any Lender shall
      have
      requested the Administrative Agent to declare the Loans immediately due and
      payable pursuant to Article 7, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time
      and
      from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set
      off
      and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
      or final) at any time held by such Lender and any other indebtedness at any
      time
      owing by such Lender to, or for the credit or the account of, the Borrower,
      against any of and all the Obligations now or hereafter existing under this
      Agreement and the Loans, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have
      made any demand under this Agreement or such Loans and although such Obligations
      may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after
      any
      such setoff and application made by such Lender, but the failure to give such
      notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights
      of each Lender under this Section 2.20 are in addition to other rights and
      remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have and
      are
      subject to the provisions of Section 8.2.

    All
      payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made in immediately available funds,
      without setoffs, deductions or counterclaims, at the Funding Office no later
      than 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall
      be
      due. Interest in respect of any Loan hereunder shall accrue from and including
      the date of such Loan to, but excluding, the date on which such Loan is paid
      or
      refinanced with a Loan of a different Interest Rate Type. All interest and
      principal payments in respect of any Loan and all other payments shall be made

              Withholding
                Taxes.

            

    

     

    (a)  Prior
      to
      the date of the initial Loans hereunder, and from time to time thereafter if
      requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or required because,
      as a
      result of a change in Applicable Law or a change in circumstances or otherwise,
      a previously delivered form or statement becomes incomplete or incorrect in
      any
      material respect, each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside
      the United States shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, provide, if
      applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with complete, accurate
      and duly executed forms or other statements prescribed by a Governmental
      Authority certifying such Lender’s exemption, if any, from, or entitlement to a
      reduced rate, if any, of, withholding taxes (including backup withholding taxes)
      with respect to all payments to be made to such Lender hereunder.

     

    (b)  The
      Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold
      any and all present or future taxes or withholdings, and all liabilities with
      respect thereto, from payments hereunder, if and to the extent that the Borrower
      or the Administrative Agent in good faith determines that such deduction or
      withholding is required by Applicable Law, including, without limitation, any
      applicable treaty. In the event the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall
      so determine that deduction or withholding of taxes is required, it shall advise
      the affected Lender as to the basis of such determination prior to actually
      deducting and withholding such taxes. In the event the Borrower or the
      Administrative Agent shall so deduct or withhold taxes from amounts payable
      hereunder, it (i) shall pay to or deposit with the appropriate taxing authority
      in a timely manner the full amount of taxes it has deducted or withheld; (ii)
      shall provide evidence of payment of such taxes to, or the deposit thereof
      with,
      the appropriate taxing authority and a statement setting forth the amount of
      taxes deducted or withheld, the applicable rate, and any other information
      or
      documentation reasonably requested by the Lenders from whom the taxes were
      deducted or withheld; and (iii) shall forward to such Lenders any receipt for
      such payment or deposit of the deducted or withheld taxes as may be issued
      from
      time to time by the appropriate taxing authority. Unless the Borrower and the
      Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to
      them
      indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to United States withholding
      tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty,
      in
      the case of extensions of credit made under the Commitments, the Borrower or
      the
      Administrative Agent may withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable
      statutory rate in the case of payments to or for any Lender.

     

    (c)   Each
      Lender agrees (i) that as between it and the Borrower or the Administrative
      Agent, it shall be the Person to deduct and withhold taxes, and to the extent
      required by law it shall deduct and withhold taxes, on amounts that such Lender
      may remit to any other Person(s) by reason of any undisclosed transfer or
      assignment of an interest in this Agreement to such other Person(s) pursuant
      to
      paragraph (g) of Section 10.3 and (ii) to indemnify the Borrower and the
      Administrative Agent and any of their officers, directors, agents, or employees
      against, and to hold them harmless from, any tax, interest, additions to tax,
      penalties, reasonable counsel and accountants’ fees, disbursements or payments
      arising from the assertion by any appropriate taxing authority of any claim
      against them relating to a failure to withhold taxes as required by Applicable
      Law with respect to amounts described in clause (i) of this paragraph
      (c).

    (d)  Each
      assignee of a Lender’s interest in this Agreement in conformity with Section
      10.3 shall be bound by this Section 2.22, so that such assignee will have all
      of
      the obligations and provide all of the forms and statements and all indemnities,
      representations and warranties required to be given under this Section
      2.22.

     

    (e)  In
      the
      event that any (a) withholding taxes imposed by any jurisdiction outside the
      United States shall become payable for any reason or (b) United States
      withholding taxes shall become payable as a result of any change in any statute,
      treaty, ruling, determination or regulation occurring after the Initial Date
      (as
      defined below), in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other
      Fundamental Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (i) the sum
      payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after
      making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
      sums payable under this Section 2.22) such Lender or the Administrative Agent
      (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
      had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower, the Lender or the
      Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall make such deductions and (iii)
      the Borrower, the Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall
      pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other
      authority in accordance with Applicable Law. For purposes of this Section 2.22,
      the term “Initial Date” shall mean (i) in the case of the Administrative Agent,
      the date hereof, (ii) in the case of each Lender as of the date hereof, the
      date
      hereof and (iii) in the case of any other Lender, the effective date of the
      Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender.

    In
      the
      event the S&P and Moody’s ratings on the Borrower’s senior non-credit
      enhanced unsecured long-term debt are not equivalent to each other, the higher
      rating of S&P and Moody’s will determine the Commitment Fee, the applicable
      LIBOR Spread and the applicable FFR Spread, unless the ratings are more than
      one
      level apart, in which case the rating one level below the higher rating of
      S&P or Moody’s will be determinative. In the event that (a) the Borrower’s
      senior non-credit enhanced unsecured long-term debt is not rated by both of
      S&P or Moody’s (for any reason, including if S&P or Moody’s shall cease
      to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations) or (b) if the rating
      system of either of S&P or Moody’s shall change, then an amendment shall be
      negotiated in good faith (and shall be effective only upon approval by the
      Borrower and the Majority Lenders) to the references to specific ratings in
      the
      table above to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of
      ratings from such rating agency (including an amendment to provide for the
      substitution of an equivalent or successor ratings agency). In the event that
      the Borrower’s senior non-credit enhanced unsecured long-term debt is not rated
      by either of S&P and Moody’s, then the Commitment Fee, the applicable LIBOR
      Spread and the applicable FFR Spread shall be deemed to be calculated as if
      the
      lowest rating category set forth above applied until such time as an amendment
      to the table above shall be agreed to. Any increase in the Commitment Fee,
      the
      applicable LIBOR Spread or the applicable FFR Spread determined in accordance
      with the foregoing table shall become effective on the date of announcement
      or
      publication by the Borrower or the applicable rating agency of a reduction
      in
      such rating or, in the absence of such announcement or publication, on the
      effective date of such decreased rating, or on the date of any request by the
      Borrower to the applicable rating agency not to rate its senior non-credit
      enhanced unsecured long-term debt or on the date any of such rating agencies
      announces it shall no longer rate the Borrower’s senior non-credit enhanced
      unsecured long-term debt. Any decrease in the Commitment Fee, the applicable
      LIBOR Spread or the applicable FFR Spread shall be effective on the date of
      announcement or publication by any of such rating agencies of an increase in
      rating or in the absence of announcement or publication on the effective date
      of
      such increase in rating. 

     

    3.  REPRESENTATIONS
      AND WARRANTIES OF BORROWER

     

    In
      order
      to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans
      provided for herein, the Borrower makes the following representations and
      warranties to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, all of which shall
      survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the
      Loans:

    The
      Borrower and its Subsidiaries have been duly organized and are validly existing
      in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of
      incorporation and are in good standing or have applied for authority to operate
      as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions where the nature of their
      properties or business so requires it and where a failure to be in good standing
      as a foreign corporation would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower
      has
      the corporate power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this
      Agreement and the other Fundamental Documents and other documents contemplated
      hereby and to borrow and obtain other extensions of credit

    The
      execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Fundamental
      Documents and the borrowings and making of other extensions of credit hereunder
      (a) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part
      of
      the Borrower, (b) will not violate any provision of any Applicable Law
      applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
      properties or assets, (c) will not violate any provision of the Certificate
      of
      Incorporation or By-Laws of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
      material Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
      (d)
      will not be in conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with due
      notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any material indenture,
      agreement, bond, note or instrument and (e) will not result in the creation
      or
      imposition of any Lien upon any property or assets of the Borrower or any of
      its
      Subsidiaries other than pursuant to this Agreement or any other Fundamental
      Document.

                and Other Approval and
                Consents.

            

    

     

    No
      action, consent or approval of, or registration or filing with, or any other
      action by, any governmental agency, bureau, commission or court is required
      in
      connection with the execution, delivery and performance (including the
      borrowings and making of other extensions of credit hereunder) by the Borrower
      of this Agreement or the other Fundamental Documents.

     

    
      	SECTION
              3.4.

      the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and
      December 31, 2004, and (b) unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower
      and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2005, in each case,

      position of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at the dates
      indicated and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated
      in conformity with GAAP subject to normal year-end adjustments in the case
      of
      such quarterly financial statements.

     

    
      	SECTION
              3.5.     	
              No
                Material Adverse Change.

            

    

     

    Except
      for the Disclosed Matters, since December 31, 2004 there has been no material
      adverse change in the business, assets, operations or condition, financial
      or
      otherwise, of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a
      whole.

    Each
      of
      the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks,
      tradenames, service marks, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property
      material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and its
      Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except
      for
      any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
      reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    
      	SECTION
              3.7.     	
              Title
                to Properties.

            

    

     

    Each
      of
      the Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries will have at the Closing Date good
      title or valid leasehold interests to each of the properties and assets
      reflected on the balance sheets referred to in Section 3.4 (other than
      properties or assets owned by Bishop’s Gate Residential Mortgage Trust), except
      for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct
      its
      business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended
      purposes, and all such properties and assets will be free and clear of Liens,
      except Permitted Encumbrances.

      	SECTION
              3.8.     	
              Litigation.

            

    

     

    Except
      for matters arising from or related to the Disclosed Matters, there are no
      lawsuits or other proceedings pending (including, but not limited to, matters
      relating to environmental liability), or, to the knowledge of the Borrower,
      threatened, against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or
      any
      of their respective properties, by or before any Governmental Authority or
      arbitrator, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
      Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default with
      respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any
      Governmental Authority, which default would have a Material Adverse
      Effect.

     

    
      	SECTION
              3.9.     	
              Federal

    Neither
      the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one
      of
      its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose
      of
      purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the Loans
      will be used, whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose
      violative of or inconsistent with any of the provisions of Regulation T, U
      or X
      of the Board.

              Investment
                Company Act,
                Public Utility Company Act.

            

    

     

    The
      Borrower is not, and will not during the term of this Agreement be, (x) an
      “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
      as amended or (y) subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company
      Act of 1935 or the Federal Power Act.

     

    
      	SECTION
              3.11.     	
              Enforceability.

            

    

     

    This
      Agreement and the other Fundamental Documents when executed will constitute
      legal, valid and enforceable obligations (as applicable) of the Borrower
      (subject, as to enforcement, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
      reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement
      of
      creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity).

     

    
      	SECTION
              3.12.     	
              Taxes.

            

    

     

    The
      Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have filed or caused to be filed all
      federal, provincial, state and local tax returns which are required to be filed,
      and have paid or have caused to be paid all taxes as shown on said returns
      or on
      any assessment received by them in writing, to the extent that such taxes have
      become due, except (a) as permitted by Section 5.4 or (b) to the extent that
      the
      failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
      Adverse Effect.

     

    
      	SECTION
              3.13.     	
              Compliance
                with ERISA.

            

    

     

    Each
      of
      the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects
      with
      the provisions of ERISA and the Code applicable to Plans, and the regulations
      and published interpretations thereunder, if any, which are applicable to it
      and
      the applicable laws, rules and regulations of any jurisdiction applicable to
      Plans. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has, with respect to
      any
      Plan, engaged in a prohibited transaction which would subject it to a material
      tax or penalty on prohibited transactions imposed by ERISA or Section 4975
      of
      the Code. No liability to the PBGC that is material to the Borrower and its
      Subsidiaries taken as a whole has been, or to the Borrower’s best knowledge is
      reasonably expected to be, incurred with respect to the Plans and there has
      been
      no Reportable Event and no other event or condition that presents a material
      risk of termination of a Plan by the PBGC. Neither the Borrower nor any of
      its
      Subsidiaries has engaged in a transaction which would result in the incurrence
      of a material liability under Section 4069 of ERISA. As of the Closing Date,
      neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries contributes to a Multiemployer
      Plan, and has not incurred any liability that would be material to the Borrower
      and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole on account of a partial or complete
      withdrawal (as defined in Sections 4203 and 4205 of ERISA, respectively) with
      respect to any Multiemployer Plan.

      	SECTION
              3.14.     	
              Disclosure.

            

    

     

    As
      of the
      Closing Date, this Agreement did not contain any untrue statement of a material
      fact or omit to state a material fact, under the circumstances under which
      it
      was made, necessary in order to make the statements contained herein not
      misleading. Except for the Disclosed Matters, at the Closing Date, there is
      no
      fact known to the Borrower which, individually or in the aggregate, could
      reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    
      	SECTION
              3.15.     	
              Environmental
                Liabilities.

            

    

     

    Except
      with respect to any matters, that, individually or in the aggregate, could
      not
      reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the
      Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any
      Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license
      or
      other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject
      to
      any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect
      to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental
      Liability.

              4.1.

                conditions precedent:

            

    

     

    (a)  Notice.
      The
      Administrative Agent shall have received a notice with respect to such Borrowing
      as required by Article 2 hereof.

    

      (b)  Representations
        and Warranties.
        The
        representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 (other than those set
        forth in Section 3.5 for the initial Borrowing, so long as such initial
        Borrowing takes place within 45 days of the Closing Date) and in the other
        Fundamental Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects
        on and
        as of the date of each Borrowing hereunder (except to the extent that such
        representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date) with
        the
        same effect as if made on and as of such date; provided
        that
        this condition shall not apply to a Borrowing which is solely refinancing
        outstanding Loans and which, after giving effect thereto, has not increased
        the
        aggregate amount of outstanding Loans.

    

     

    (c)  No
      Event of Default.
      On the
      date of each Borrowing, the Borrower shall be in material compliance with all
      of
      the terms and provisions set forth herein to be observed or performed and no
      Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date
      or after giving effect to the Borrowing to be made on such date; provided
      that
      this condition shall not apply to a Borrowing which is solely refinancing
      outstanding Loans and which, after giving effect thereto, has not increased
      the
      aggregate amount of outstanding Loans.

     

    Each
      Borrowing shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower
      on
      the date of such Borrowing as to the matters specified in paragraphs (b) and
      (c)
      of this Section.

    (a)  As
      soon as
      is practicable, but in any event within 100 days after the end of each fiscal
      year of the Borrower, (i) either (A) consolidated statements of income (or
      operations) and consolidated statements of cash flows and changes in
      stockholders’ equity of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for such

      Commission and (ii) if not included in such Form 10-K, an opinion of independent

      its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at the end of, and for, such fiscal year and
      that such financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied

      of
      the Borrower, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position
      of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, as the case may be, as at
      the
      end of the fiscal quarter and the results of their operations for the quarter
      then ended in conformity with GAAP consistently applied, subject only to
      year-end and audit adjustments and to the absence of footnote

      knowledge of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, a certificate
      of

      investigation or arbitration (whether or not previously disclosed to the

      Adverse Effect, prompt notice thereof and such other information as may be
      reasonably available to it (without waiver of any applicable evidentiary
      privilege) to enable the Lenders to evaluate such matters, and

      or
      Interest Rate Protection Agreement issued in connection with, or in anticipation
      of, such Subsidiary becoming a Subsidiary of the Borrower) if such default
      or
      circumstance arises solely as a result of a “change of control” provision

      becomes operative as a result of the acquisition of such Subsidiary by the
      Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;

      judgment(s) for the payment of money in excess of $25,000,000 (or its equivalent
      thereof in any other currency) shall be rendered against the Borrower or any
      of
      its Subsidiaries which within thirty (30) days from the entry of such judgment
      shall not have been discharged or stayed pending appeal or which shall not

      acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate or other notice of any kind, all
      of
      which are hereby expressly waived, anything in this Agreement to the contrary
      notwithstanding; provided
      that, in
      the case of a payment of principal default pursuant to paragraph (b), the
      Administrative Agent, unless it is directed to do so by the Required Lenders,
      will not take either or both of such actions for three Business Days. If an
      Event of Default specified in paragraph (f) or (g) above shall have occurred,

      by it, unless with respect to any Lender, such Lender has theretofore
      specifically notified the Administrative Agent that such Lender does not intend
      to fund that particular Loan. Each of the Lenders agrees forthwith to reimburse
      the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the amount so
      advanced on its behalf by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately
      preceding sentence. If any such reimbursement is not made in immediately
      available funds on the same day on which the Administrative Agent shall have
      made any such amount available on behalf of any Lender in accordance with this
      Section 8.2, such Lender shall pay interest to the Administrative Agent at
      a
      rate per annum equal to the Administrative Agent’s cost of obtaining overnight
      funds in the New York Federal Funds Market for the period until such Lender
      makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent.
      Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if such reimbursement is not made by
      the
      second Business Day following the day on which the Administrative Agent shall
      have made any such amount available on behalf of any Lender or such Lender
      has
      indicated that it does not intend to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the
      Borrower shall immediately pay such unreimbursed advance amount (plus any
      accrued, but unpaid interest at the rate per annum equal to the interest rate
      applicable to such Loan) to the Administrative Agent.

     

    (b)  Any
      amounts received by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement
      or the Loans the application of which is not otherwise provided for shall be
      applied, in accordance with each of the Lenders’ pro rata interest therein,
first,
      to pay
      accrued but unpaid Commitment Fees, second,
      to pay
      accrued but unpaid interest on the Loans, third,
      to pay
      the principal balance outstanding on the Loans and fourth,
      to pay
      other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders. All
      amounts to be paid to any of the Lenders by the Administrative Agent shall
      be
      credited to the applicable Lenders, after collection by the Administrative
      Agent, in immediately available funds either by wire transfer or deposit in
      such
      Lender’s correspondent account with the Administrative Agent, or as such Lender
      and the Administrative Agent shall from time to time agree.

      of which the unpaid portion of its Loans is proportionately less than the unpaid
      portion of any of the other Lenders (a) it shall promptly purchase at par (and
      shall be deemed to have thereupon purchased) from such other Lenders a
      participation in the Loans of such other Lenders, so that the aggregate unpaid
      principal amount of each of the Lenders’ Loans and its participation in Loans of
      the other Lenders shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid
      principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its
      Loans prior to the obtaining of such payment was to the principal amount of
      all
      Loans outstanding prior to the obtaining of such payment and (b) such other
      adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure
      that
      the Lenders share such payment pro rata.

      Administrative Agent nor its respective directors, officers, employees, or
      agents shall be responsible to any of the Lenders for the due execution (other
      than its own), validity, genuineness, effectiveness, sufficiency, or

    The
      Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof
      to
      the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders
      shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent from among

      retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
      Administrative Agent, which with the consent of the Borrower, which will not
      be
      unreasonably withheld, shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under
      the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined
      capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any

      Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
      vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
      Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
      from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring
      Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the
      provisions of this Article 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken
      or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this

      inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Lenders.

      of
      the Lenders may (but only with the prior written consent of the Administrative
      Agent and the Borrower, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or

      delivery, acceptance and recording, and from and after the effective date

      and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights
      and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder

      from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment
      and
      Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of the assigning Lender’s
      rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease
      to be a party hereto, but shall continue to be entitled to the indemnity and
      expense reimbursement provisions for the period prior to such Assignment and
      Acceptance).

     

    (c)  Notwithstanding
      the other provisions of this Section 10.3, each Lender may at any time without
      the consent of the Borrower make an assignment of all or any part of its
      interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Lender or
      Affiliate of a Lender or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
      any other assignee.

      executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender
      thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other
      and
      the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than the representation and
      warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being
      assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, 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 and any other Fundamental Document or the execution, legality,

      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 the Fundamental Documents; (iii) such assignee confirms that
      it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most
      recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(b)
      (or
      if none of such financial statements shall have then been delivered, then copies
      of the financial statements referred to in Section 3.4) and such other documents
      and information as 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, 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 decisions
      in
      taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints
      and
      authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf
      and to exercise such powers under the Fundamental Documents as are delegated
      to
      the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as
      are
      reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will be
      bound by the provisions of this Agreement and will perform in accordance with
      its terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are
      required to be performed by it as a Lender.

    (e)  The
      Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address
      at which notices are to be given to it pursuant to Section 10.1, a copy of
      each
      Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation
      of
      the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal
      amount of the Loans owing to each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).
      The
      entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error,
      and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person
      whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other
      obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement
      and
      the other Fundamental Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
      The
      Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at
      any
      reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     

    (f)  Upon
      its
      receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and
      an
      assignee and the processing and recordation fee, the Administrative Agent
      (subject to the right, if any, of the Borrower to require its consent thereto)
      shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is substantially
      in the form of Exhibit B hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance,
      (ii)
      record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt
      written notice thereof to the Borrower. Upon acceptance by the Administrative
      Agent, Schedule 1.1 shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the information
      contained in such Assignment and Acceptance. 

     

    (g)  Each
      of
      the Lenders may without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
      sell participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions (a
      “Participant”)
      in all
      or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including,
      without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing
      to
      it); provided
      that (i)
      any such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii)
      such participant shall not be granted any voting rights under this Agreement,
      except with respect to matters requiring the consent of each of the Lenders
      hereunder, (iii) any such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
      parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iv) the participating
      banks or other entities shall be entitled to the cost protection provisions
      contained in Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.18 hereof but a participant shall not
      be
      entitled to receive pursuant to such provisions an amount larger than its share
      of the amount to which the Lender granting such participation would have been
      entitled to receive, and (v) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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.

     

    (h)  The
      Lenders may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed
      assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.3, disclose to the
      assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information
      relating to the Borrower furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
      by
      or on behalf of the Borrower.

     

    (i)  The
      Borrower consents that any Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge,
      or otherwise grant a security interest in, any Loan, including any such pledge
      or grant to any Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any
      such pledge or grant; provided
      that no
      such pledge or grant shall release a Lender from any of its obligations
      hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party
      hereto.

    (j)  The
      Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to
      issue promissory notes evidencing Loans made hereunder to any Lender requiring
      promissory notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph
      (i) above.

    Whether
      or not the transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated, the Borrower
      agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
      Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers in connection with the
      syndication, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this
      Agreement and the making of the Loans, including but not limited to the
      reasonable fees and disbursements of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, counsel
      to the Administrative Agent, as well as all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
      incurred by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in connection with any
      restructuring or workout of this Agreement or in connection with the enforcement
      or protection of the rights of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in
      connection with this Agreement or any other Fundamental Document, and with
      respect to any action which may be instituted by any Person against any Lender
      or the Administrative Agent in respect of the foregoing, or as a result of
      any
      transaction, action or nonaction arising from the foregoing, including but
      not
      limited to the fees and disbursements of any counsel for the Lenders. Such
      payments shall be made on the date of execution of this Agreement and thereafter
      promptly on demand. The Borrower agrees that it shall indemnify the
      Administrative Agent and the Lenders from, and hold them harmless against,
      any
      documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any Governmental Authority
      by
      reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Fundamental
      Document. The obligations of the Borrower and each Subsidiary under this Section
      shall be joint and several obligations and shall survive the termination of
      this
      Agreement and/or the payment of the Loans for two years.

    Further,
      by the execution hereof, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
      the
      Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective directors,
      officers, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified
      Party”)
      from
      and against any and all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements
      of
      counsel), losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out of any claim,
      litigation, investigation or proceeding (regardless of whether any such
      Indemnified Party is a party thereto) in any way relating to the transactions
      contemplated hereby, but excluding therefrom all expenses, losses, claims,
      damages, and liabilities to the extent arising out of or resulting from the
      gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party seeking
      indemnification, provided
      that the
      Borrower shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate
      firm for all such Indemnified Parties (unless there shall exist an actual
      conflict of interest among such Persons, and in such case, not more than two
      separate firms) in connection with any one such action or any separate but
      substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction, nor shall
      the
      Borrower be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without the
      Borrower’s written consent, and provided,
      further,
      that
      this Section 10.5 shall not be construed to expand the scope of the
      reimbursement obligations specified in Section 10.4. The obligations of the
      Borrower under this Section 10.5 shall be joint and several obligations and
      shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or payment of the
      Loans.

    No
      failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise,
      and
      no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate
      as a
      waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right,
      power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
      of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative

      writing by the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be
      effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given;
      provided
      that no
      such modification or amendment shall without the written consent of each Lender
      affected thereby (x) increase or extend the expiration date of the Commitment
      of
      a Lender or postpone or waive any scheduled reduction in the Commitments, (y)
      alter the stated maturity or principal amount of any installment of any Loan,

      consent. No notice to or demand on the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower
      to

    SECTION

      Agreement.
      

     

    This
      Agreement represents the entire agreement of the parties with regard to the
      subject matter hereof and the terms of any letters and other documentation
      entered into among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (other
      than the provisions of any letter agreements relating to fees and expenses
      and
      syndication issues) prior to the execution of this Agreement which relate to
      Loans to be made hereunder shall be replaced by the terms of this
      Agreement.

     

    SECTION
      10.15.     Foreign
      Currency Judgments.
      

     

    (a) If,
      for
      the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert
      a sum
      due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the Borrower agrees, to
      the
      fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used
      shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the
      relevant jurisdiction the relevant Lender (or agent acting on its behalf) or
      the
      Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency
      for the first currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on
      which final judgment is given. 

     

    (b)  The
      obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due hereunder shall,
      notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment
      Currency”)
      other
      than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with this Agreement
      (the “Agreement
      Currency”),
      be
      discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by
      any
      Lender (or agent acting on its behalf) (the “Applicable
      Creditor”)
      of any
      sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor
      may
      in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction
      purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of
      the
      Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the
      Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a
      separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the
      Applicable Creditor against such loss, provided,
      that if
      the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally
      due
      to the Applicable Creditor, the Applicable Creditor agrees to remit such excess
      to the Borrower. The obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section
      10.15
      shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all amounts
      owing hereunder. The Borrower shall repay each Loan made to it, and interest
      thereon, in the Currency in which such Loan is denominated.

     

    SECTION
      10.16.     Language.

      that

      disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent, any other
      Lender or any affiliate of any Lender, (b) to any participant or assignee (each,
      a “Transferee”) of such Lender or prospective Transferee which agrees to comply
      with the provisions of this Section, (c) to any of its employees, directors,
      agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors, (d) upon the
      request or demand of any governmental or regulatory authority having
      jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates, (e) in response to any order of any
      court or other governmental authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant
      to any requirement of law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection
      with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) which has been publicly disclosed
      other than in breach of this Section 10.17, (h) to the National Association
      of
      Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized
      rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment
      portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or
      (i)
      in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other
      Fundamental Document.

        CORPORATION

      

      

      July
        21,
        2006

      

      

      To
        the
        Administrative Agent 

      and
        the
        Lenders parties to

      the
        Credit Agreement referred to below:

      

      

      Ladies
        and Gentlemen:

      

      

      Reference
        is made to the 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2006
        (as
        amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit
        Agreement”),
        among
        PHH Corporation (the “Borrower”),
        the
        lenders referred to therein, Citicorp USA, Inc., as syndication agent, and
        JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (in
        such
        capacity, the “Administrative
        Agent”).
        Unless
        otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Agreement and used herein
        shall
        have the meanings given to them in the Agreement. 

      

      In
        connection with the negotiation of the Credit Agreement, dated the date hereof
        (the “New
        Credit Agreement”),
        among
        the Borrower, the lenders referred to therein, Citicorp USA, Inc., as
        syndication agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent,
        a
        provision has been included requiring the proceeds from the issuance of any
        New
        Senior Notes be applied toward the reduction of commitments and prepayment
        loans
        outstanding thereunder in the same manner provided in the Credit Agreement.
        However, the New Credit Agreement further provides that the lenders thereunder
        share such proceeds ratably with the Lenders. We are hereby requesting that
        you
        consent to the amendment of the Credit Agreement to provide for the ratable
        sharing of such proceeds with the lenders under the New Credit Agreement
        as
        follows: 

       

      (i)
        by
        adding the following defined term in Section 1.1: 

       

      “New
        Credit Agreement”
shall
        mean the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2006, among the Borrower,
        the
        lenders referred to therein, Citicorp USA, Inc., as syndication agent, and
        JPMorgan Chase Bank, as administrative agent.

       

      (ii)
        by
        inserting “and (d)” after “2.14(b)” in Section 2.13(b); 

       

      (iii)
        by
        inserting “(subject to Section 2.14(d))” after “amount thereof” in the first
        sentence of Section 2.14(b); and

       

      (iv)
        by
        inserting the following new Section 2.14(d):

       

      “(d)
        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is hereby agreed
        that the proceeds from the incurrence of Indebtedness under New Senior Notes
        shall be shared ratably with the Lenders under the New Credit Agreement
        determined by (i) the Total Commitment (or, if the Commitments have been
        terminated, the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding) and the (ii) “Total
        Commitment” under the New Credit Agreement plus
        the
        aggregate amount of “Loans” outstanding under the New Credit Agreement and the
        amounts required to be applied to prepay Loans and reduce the Total Commitment
        shall be reduced accordingly.”

       

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      On
        and as
        of the date hereof and after giving effect to the amendments contained herein,
        the Borrower hereby confirms, reaffirms and restates the representations
        and
        warranties set forth in Section 3 of the Credit Agreement mutatis mutandis,
        except
        to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to
        a
        specific earlier date in which case the Borrower hereby confirms, reaffirms
        and
        restates such representations and warranties as of such earlier date, and
        that
        no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

       

      Except
        as
        expressly set forth herein, all of the terms and provisions of the Credit
        Agreement are and shall remain in full force and effect and the Borrower
        shall
        continue to be bound by all of such terms and provisions. The amendments
        provided for herein are limited to the specific section of the Credit Agreement
        specified herein and shall not constitute an amendment of, or an indication
        of
        the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ willingness to amend or waive, any
        other provision.

       

      We
        appreciate your cooperation with this matter. 

       

      
        
        

        Very
          truly yours,
