(a)                                 impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

 

(b)                                 subject Credit Agent or any Lender to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

 

(c)                                  impose on any Lender or the London interbank eurodollar market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Note or the Advances made by such Lender;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, continuing or maintaining any Advance the interest on which is determined by reference to the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Company will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. Each determination by a Lender of amounts owing under this Section shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.

 

(v)                                 Any and all payments by the Company to or for the account of Credit Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of Credit Agent and any Lender, (a) taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which Credit Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or maintains a lending office, and (b) any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Company shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Credit Agent or any Lender, (A) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), Credit Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been

 

9

 

made, (B) the Company shall make such deductions, (iii) the Company shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment, the Company shall furnish to Credit Agent (which shall forward the same to such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

 

(vi)                              In addition, the Company agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court, recording, transfer or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

 

(vii)                           If the Company shall be required by the Laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Credit Agent or any Lender, the Company shall also pay to Credit Agent (for the account of such Lender) or to such Lender, at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that such Lender specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in United States (federal and state) taxes imposed on or measured by net income) Lender would have received if such deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) had not been made.

 

(viii)                        The Company agrees to indemnify Credit Agent and each Lender for (a) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 1.8) paid by any of them and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; (b) any other amounts payable under Section 1.8; and (c) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. Payment under this Section 1.8(viii) shall be made within 30 days after the date Credit Agent makes a demand therefor.

 

(ix)                              Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its lending office to make, maintain or fund advances whose interest is determined by reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate (a “LIBOR Loan”), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the London Interbank Offered Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, U.S. Dollars in the London interbank eurodollar market, then the Credit Agent may, by written notice to the Company (x) declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter be made by any Lender hereunder, whereupon all subsequent Advances shall bear

 

10

 

interest at the Applicable Base Rate unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and/or (y) require that the interest rate accruing on any then outstanding Advances be automatically converted to the Applicable Base Rate from the date of such notice until such Advances are repaid or such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn.

 

(x)                                 Failure or delay on the part of Credit Agent or any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of Credit Agent’s or such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate Credit Agent or a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that Credit Agent or such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of Credit Agent’s or such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to add the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

(xi)                              Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Company hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Company contained in this Section shall survive the termination of the Warehousing Commitments and the payment in full of all the other Obligations.”

 

(i)                                     Sections 1.12(iii)(h) and (i) are hereby amended by replacing the words “Pledged Loan” where they appear therein with the words “Pledged Asset.”

(iv)                              This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the effect of equitable principles whether applied in an action at law or a suit in equity.

 

(d)                                 The Borrower shall promptly pay upon receipt of an invoice or statement therefor the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and disbursements incurred by the Credit Agent in connection with this Amendment and all previous matters relating to the Loan Agreement and the Borrower’s relationship with the Credit Agent and the Lenders.

 

5.                                      Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                 This Amendment may be executed in several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Signatures transmitted electronically (including by fax or e-mail) shall have the same legal effect as the originals, but each party nevertheless shall deliver original signed counterparts of this Amendment to each other party upon request of another party.

 

(b)                                 This Amendment expresses the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. No prior negotiations or discussions shall limit, modify, or otherwise affect the provisions hereof.

 

(c)                                  This Amendment shall be governed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York (without regard to conflict of laws principles which would result in the application of the law of another jurisdiction) as an instrument under seal.
