received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s
share thereof.

               (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this
Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative
Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation
of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

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

          Section 2.04 Interest.

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

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

27

 

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

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

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

                    (ii) on the Final Maturity Date;

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

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

          Section 2.05 Reduction of Commitment; Prepayment of Loans.

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

               (b) Optional Prepayment.

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

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

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

28

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

29

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

30

 

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

          Section 2.08 Taxes.

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

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

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

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

31

 

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

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

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

32

 

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

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

          Section 2.09 Increase in Term Loan Commitments.

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

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

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

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

33

 

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

ARTICLE III

INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

ARTICLE IV

FEES, PAYMENTS AND OTHER COMPENSATION

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

34

 

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

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

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

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

35

 

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

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

               (d) For purposes of Section 4.03(b), “paid in full” means payment in cash of all amounts owing

controlling such Agent or such Lender of any amounts payable hereunder (except for taxes on the
overall net income of such Agent or such Lender or any Person controlling such Agent or such
Lender), (ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement

determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a direct or indirect consequence of any
Loans made or maintained, such Agent’s or such Lender’s or such other controlling Person’s other
obligations hereunder, or (ii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Agent’s or such Lender’s such other controlling Person’s capital to a level below that which such
Agent or such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such circumstances as a
consequence of any Loans made or maintained or any agreement to make Loans or such Agent’s or such
Lender’s or such other controlling Person’s other obligations hereunder (in each case, taking into
consideration, such Agent’s or such Lender’s or such other controlling Person’s policies with
respect to capital adequacy), then, upon demand by such Agent or such Lender, the Borrower shall
pay to such Agent or such Lender from time to time such additional amounts as will compensate such
Agent or such Lender for such cost of maintaining such increased capital or such reduction in the
rate of return on such Agent’s or such Lender’s or such other controlling Person’s capital.

               (c) All amounts payable under this Section 4.04 shall bear interest from the date that is ten
(10) days after the date of demand by any Agent or any Lender until payment in full to such Agent
or such Lender at the interest rate per annum equal to 20%. A certificate of such Agent or such
Lender claiming compensation under this Section 4.04, specifying the event herein above described
and the nature of such event shall be submitted by such Agent or such Lender to the Administrative

Packages, and discuss matters relating to the Insurance Premium Loans and Life Insurance Policies
and the performance by such Person of its duties hereunder and under the Transaction Documents to
which it is a party), to visit and inspect its properties, to verify materials, leases, notes,
accounts receivable, deposit accounts and its other assets, to conduct audits or examinations and
to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with any of its directors, officers, managerial
employees, independent accountants or any of its other representatives. In

forfeiture thereof or thereunder.

               (h) Maintenance of Insurance. Maintain insurance with responsible and reputable
insurance companies or associations (including, without limitation, comprehensive general
liability, hazard, rent and business interruption insurance) with respect to its properties

such risks as is required by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto or
as is carried generally in accordance with sound business practice by companies in similar
businesses similarly situated and in any event in amount, adequacy and scope reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. All policies covering the Collateral are to be made payable
to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, as its interests may appear,
in case of loss, under a standard non-contributory “lender” or “secured party” clause and are to
contain such other provisions as the Collateral Agent may require to fully protect the Lenders’
interest in the Collateral and to any payments to be made under such policies. All certificates of
insurance are to be delivered to the Collateral Agent and the policies are to be premium prepaid,
with the loss payable and additional insured endorsement in favor of the Collateral Agent and such
other Persons as the Collateral Agent may designate from time to time, and shall provide for not
less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent of the exercise of any right of
cancellation. If the Borrower fails to maintain such insurance, the Collateral Agent may arrange
for such insurance, but at the Borrower’s expense and without any responsibility on the Collateral
Agent’s part for obtaining the insurance, the solvency of the insurance companies, the adequacy of
the coverage, or the collection of claims. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the sole right, in the name of the Lenders, the
Borrower, to file claims under any insurance policies, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for
any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts,
releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect the
collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies.

               (i) Obtaining of Permits, Etc. Obtain, maintain and preserve and take all necessary

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

56

 

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

               (k) Further Assurances. Take such action and execute, acknowledge and deliver to take

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

               (l) Change in Collateral; Collateral Records. (i) Give the Collateral Agent not less
than 30 days’ prior written notice of any change in the location of any Collateral, other than to

Agent promptly, in sufficient detail, of any material adverse change relating to the type, quantity
or quality of the Collateral or the Lien granted thereon and (iii) execute and deliver to the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders from time to time, solely for the
Collateral Agent’s convenience in maintaining a record of Collateral, such written statements and
schedules as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require, designating, identifying or describing
the Collateral.

               (m) Subordination. Cause all Indebtedness and other obligations now or hereafter owed
by it to any of its Affiliates other than the Obligations, to be subordinated in right of payment

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

               (s) Deposits to the Collection Account. Deposit or otherwise credit, or cause or
permit to be so deposited or credited by any Person, to the Collection Account cash or cash
proceeds other than Collections or proceeds of the Collateral.

respect the collectibility of any Insurance Premium Loan or related security (including any
applicable Life Insurance Policy).

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

consented in writing to such change.

               (v) Amendments or Consents to Collateral Value Policy or Contingent Collateral Value
Policy. (i) Amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify, (ii) agree to any
waiver of any provision contained in or (iii) to the extent provided for or required therein,

the Required Lenders.

ARTICLE VIII

MANAGEMENT, COLLECTION AND STATUS OF COLLATERAL

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

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

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

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

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

66

 

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

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

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

67

 

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

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

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

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

such Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (vii) to incur and pay such
fees necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (viii) subject to Section 10.03 of this

73

 

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

Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender shall make its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower in connection with
the making and the continuance of the Loans hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness of the Borrower and the value of the Collateral, and the Agents shall have no duty
or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit
or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into their possession before the initial
Loan hereunder or at any time or times thereafter, provided that, upon the reasonable request of a
Lender, each Agent shall provide to such Lender any documents or reports delivered to such Agent by
the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If any Agent
seeks the consent or approval of the Required Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking any
action hereunder, such Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender. Each Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender any time that the Required Lenders have instructed such Agent to act or refrain
from acting pursuant hereto.

          Section 10.03 Rights, Exculpation, Etc. The Agents and their directors, officers,
agents or employees shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them under

negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents (i) may treat the payee
of any Loan as the owner thereof until the Collateral Agent receives written notice of the
assignment or transfer thereof, pursuant to Section 12.07 hereof, signed by such payee and in form
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including, without
limitation, counsel to any Agent or counsel to the Borrower), independent public accountants, and
other experts selected by any of them and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken in good faith by any of them in accordance with the advice of such counsel or experts; (iii)
make no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any
statements, certificates, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to

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

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

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

75

 

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

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

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

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

          Section 10.08 Collateral Matters.

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

76

 

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

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

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

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

77

 

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

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

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

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

78

 

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

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

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

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

“Contingent Collateral Value Insurer”, “Coverage Certificate”, “Covered Loan Amount” or “Eligible
Insurance Premium Loan”, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by an Agent,
affect the rights or duties of such Agent (but not in its capacity as a Lender) under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto hereby
agree that any amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to the definitions of
“Collateral Value Insurer”, “Collateral Value Policy”, “Collections”, “Coverage Certificate”,
“Person” and “Salvage Collections” in Section 1.01, Section 2.05(e), Section 12.19 and the last
three sentences in this Section 12.02(a) shall require the written consent of the Collateral Value
Insurer (prior to the occurrence of a Credit Event) or the Contingent Collateral Value Insurer
(after the occurrence of a Credit Event) to be effective. In all events, copies of any amendments
to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Transaction Document shall be promptly provided
by the Borrower to the Collateral Value Insurer following execution thereof. Each of the parties
hereto agrees that the Collateral Value Insurer (prior to the occurrence of a Credit Event) or the
Contingent Collateral Value Insurer (after the occurrence of a Credit Event) is a third party

80

 

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

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

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

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

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

81

 

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

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

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

82

 

          Section 12.07 Assignments and Participations.

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

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

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

83

 

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

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

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

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

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

84

 

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

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

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

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

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

85

 

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

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

86

 

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

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

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

          Section 12.15 Indemnification.

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

87

 

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

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

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

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

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

88

 

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

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

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

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

89

 

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

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

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

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

investments and other items held by such institution. Any such securities, cash, investments and
other items so received by the Collateral Agent or its designated agent shall (in the sole and

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Accounts for which the Collateral Agent is the depositary.

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

-14-

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

-15-

 

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

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

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

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

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

          SECTION 8. Additional Provisions Concerning the Collateral.

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

-16-

 

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

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

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

-17-

 

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

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

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

-18-

 

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

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

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

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

-19-

 

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

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

-20-

 

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

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

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

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

-21-

 

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

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

          SECTION 10. Indemnity and Expenses.

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

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

-22-

 

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

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

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

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

          SECTION 13. Miscellaneous.

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

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

-23-

 

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

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

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

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

-24-

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE AGREEMENT

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

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

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

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

1

 

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

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

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

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

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

EXHIBIT D

FORM OF INDIVIDUAL GUARANTY

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

W I T N E S S E T H:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

- 2 -

 

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

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

          SECTION 3. Guaranty Absolute; Continuing Guaranty; Assignments.

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

- 3 -

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

- 4 -

 

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

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

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

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

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

- 5 -

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

- 6 -

 

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

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

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

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

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

          (c) Promptly notify the Agents of:

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

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

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

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

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

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

- 7 -

 

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

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

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

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

          SECTION 12. Miscellaneous.

          (a) The Guarantor will make each payment hereunder in lawful money of the United States of

at such address specified by the Collateral Agent from time to time by notice to the Guarantor.

          (b) No amendment of any provision of this Guaranty shall be effective unless it is in writing
and signed by the Guarantor and the Collateral Agent, and no waiver of any provision of this
Guaranty, and no consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be

and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given.

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

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

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

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

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

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

          (i) This Guaranty and the other Loan Documents (unless expressly provided to the contrary in
another Loan Document in respect of such other Loan Document) shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be

EXHIBIT E

FORM OF GUARANTOR SECURITY AGREEMENT

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

W I T N E S S E T H:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2

 

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

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

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

               SECTION 4. Delivery of the Pledged Collateral.

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

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

3

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

4

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5

 

          SECTION 6. Covenants as to the Pledged Collateral. So long as any of the Obligations
shall remain outstanding or prior to the termination of all Commitments, the Pledgor will, unless
the Collateral Agent shall otherwise consent in writing:

               (a) keep adequate records concerning the Pledged Collateral and permit the Collateral Agent or
any agents, designees or representatives thereof at any time or from time to time to examine and
make copies of and abstracts from such records consistent with the terms of the Financing
Agreement;

               (b) at the Pledgor’s expense, promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent a copy of each notice

               (c) at the Pledgor’s expense, defend the Collateral Agent’s right, title and security interest
in and to the Pledged Collateral against the claims of any Person;

               (d) at the Pledgor’s expense, at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver
all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or
desirable or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to (i) perfect and protect,
or maintain the perfection of, the security interest and Lien created hereby, (ii) enable the
Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of the
Pledged Collateral or (iii) otherwise effect the purposes of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, delivering to the Collateral Agent irrevocable proxies in respect of the Pledged
Collateral;

               (e) not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise), exchange or otherwise dispose of any
Pledged Collateral or any interest therein except as expressly permitted by Section 7.02(c) of the
Financing Agreement;

               (f) not create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any Pledged Collateral
except for the Lien created hereby;

Pledged Collateral or enter into any agreement or permit to exist any restriction with respect to
any Pledged Collateral other than pursuant to the Loan Documents;

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

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

6

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

          SECTION 8. Additional Provisions Concerning the Pledged Collateral.

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

8

 

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

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

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

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

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

9

 

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

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

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

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

10

 

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

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

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

          SECTION 10. Indemnity and Expenses.

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

11

 

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

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

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

          SECTION 13. Miscellaneous.

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

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

12

 

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

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

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

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

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

13

 

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

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

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

To the Agents and each of the Lenders party

to the Financing Agreement referred to below

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

Ladies and Gentlemen:

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

 

 

The Agents and each of the Lenders party to the

Financing Agreement

March 13, 2009

Page 3

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

The Agents and each of the Lenders party to the

Financing Agreement

March 13, 2009

Page 4

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

The Agents and each of the Lenders party to the

Financing Agreement

March 13, 2009

Page 5

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

          (xii) Lenders have complied with all applicable laws.

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

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

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

 

 

The Agents and each of the Lenders party to the

March 13, 2009

Page 8

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

          v. Any provision of the Documents regarding delegation of authority by Lenders to a
trustee, or any waiver by Borrower of its rights against a trustee, may not be enforceable.

          vi. The award and amount of attorneys’ fees are subject to the discretion of the court
before which any proceeding involving the Documents may be brought.

          vii. Provisions in the Documents which provide that the filing of a petition under 11
U.S.C. Sections 101, et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), shall constitute a default or event of
default or that such a filing under the Bankruptcy Code shall result in conversion of the
Term Loans to a recourse liability, may not be enforceable.

          viii. The opinions expressed above concern only the effect of laws (excluding the
principles of conflicts of laws) as currently in effect. We assume no obligation to
supplement this opinion if any applicable laws change after the date of this opinion, or if
we become aware of any facts that might change the opinions expressed above after the date
of this opinion.

          ix. We express no opinion as to (i) pension and employee benefit laws and regulations,
(ii) antitrust and unfair competition laws and regulations, or (iii) environmental laws.

          x. We limit our opinion on the security interest granted with respect to commercial
tort claims to those commercial tort claims identified with specificity in the Security
Agreement, if any.

     Statements in this letter qualified by our “knowledge” are based upon the current, actual
knowledge of Robert S. Bernstein, the attorney in our firm who has rendered services to the Credit
Parties in connection with the Term Loans. Such statements are not intended to, and do not,
suggest any review of records, public filings or other inquiry, search or investigation whatsoever.

     We are licensed to practice law in the State of Florida and no part of this opinion shall be
construed to opine on any laws other than those of the State of Florida, the State of New York
(with
respect to the opinions set forth in paragraphs 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 12), and the laws of the
United States of America. We express no opinion as to the compliance or noncompliance, or the
effect of the compliance or noncompliance, of any addressee or any other person or entity with any
state or federal laws or regulations applicable to each of them by reason of their status as or
affiliation with a

               3. Representations and Warranties of the Assignee. The Assignee hereby represents and

          (a) Organization and Good Standing. The Assignee has been duly organized and is
validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of
Illinois, and has power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such
properties shall be currently owned and such business is presently conducted.

          (b) Power and Authority. The Assignee shall have the power and authority to execute
and deliver this Assignment Agreement and to carry out its terms; the Assignee shall have full
power and authority to purchase the property to be purchased and shall have duly authorized such
purchase; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Assignment Agreement shall have been
duly authorized by the Assignee by all necessary action.

          (c) Binding Obligation. This Assignment Agreement shall constitute a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Assignee enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other
similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.

     The representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 and Section 3 of this Assignment
Agreement shall survive the sale of the interests by the Assignor to the Assignee pursuant to this
Assignment Agreement. Upon discovery by the Assignor or the Assignee of a breach of any of the
foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice to the other.

               4. Remedies.

          (a) Repurchase of interests for Certain Breaches. In the event of a breach of any
representations and warranties set forth in Section 2(e), (f), (g), (h), (k), (o) or (v), upon the
earlier to occur of the discovery of such breach by the Assignor or receipt by the Assignor of
written notice of such breach given by or on behalf of the Assignee, the Assignee’s interest in
each Insurance Premium Loan relating to such breach shall be repurchased by the Assignor from the
Assignee and upon such repurchase shall terminate and be extinguished.

          (b) Reconveyed Insurance Premium Loans. Upon the repurchase by the Assignor of any
interest under this Assignment Agreement, then, on the date required for such repurchase, the
Assignor shall deposit into the Collection Account in immediately available funds an amount equal

repurchase, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through such date at the interest
rate per annum on the Loans under the Financing Agreement. Such deposit shall be considered
payment in full for such interest.

5

 

          In connection with the preceding paragraph, the Assignee shall execute such documents and
instruments of transfer or assignment as shall be prepared by the Assignor, and shall take such
other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Assignor, to effect the repurchase of the
interests from the Assignee. Upon repurchase of the interests in Insurance Premium Loans from the
Assignee, the Assignee shall automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer,
assign, set over and otherwise convey to or upon the order of the Assignor, without recourse,
representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Assignee in and to the
reconveyed interest and all Collections with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof received
after the date of such repurchase.

               5. Covenants of the Assignor. The Assignor hereby covenants that:

	          (a) No Impairment. Except in accordance with, or as contemplated by, the Loan
Documents and the Transaction Documents, the Assignor shall take no action, nor omit to take any
action, which would impair the rights of the Assignee in any Insurance Premium Loan in which an
interest has been transferred hereunder.
	 
	          (b) Compliance with Law. The Assignor will comply in all material respects with all
Requirements of Law with respect to it, its business and properties and the Insurance Premium Loans
and related Life Insurance Policies. The Assignor will maintain all applicable permits,
certifications and licenses (including all licenses to originate Insurance Premium Loans) necessary
with respect to its business and properties and all Insurance Premium Loans and the Life Insurance
Policy related thereto.
	 
	          (c) Preservation of Existence. The Assignor will preserve and maintain its existence,
rights, franchises and privileges as a limited liability company or corporation, as applicable, and
become and remain licensed in each jurisdiction where the failure to maintain such license would
materially and adversely affect (A) the interests of the Assignee hereunder or (B) the
collectibility of any Insurance Premium Loans in which an interest has been transferred hereunder
or the related Life Insurance Policies; and the Assignor shall not consolidate with or merge into
any other Person or convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to
any Person without the prior written consent of the Assignee.
	 
	          (d) Performance and Compliance with Insurance Premium Loans. The Assignor will, at
its expense, timely and fully perform and comply with all provisions, covenants and other promises
required to be observed by it hereunder. The Assignor shall comply with and perform its
obligations with respect to any Insurance Premium Loan.
	 
	          (e) Collections and Payments. Except as otherwise provided in this Assignment
Agreement, the Assignor will cause any Collections received by it to be deposited in the Collection
Account no later than the Business Day following the receipt and identification of proceeds.
	 
	          (f) Arm’s-Length Relationship; Separate Existence. The Assignor will maintain an
arm’s-length relationship with the Assignee. Any transaction between the Assignee on the one hand
and the Assignor or any respective Affiliates thereof, on the other hand, will, in the

6

 

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

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

          (h) Reporting Requirements.

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

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

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

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

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

7

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8

 

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

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

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

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

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

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